875-P. Lordlard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3 -Pandick Press, Inc.-May 8, 1967 Borrowings The cash requirements of the Company are usually at a maximum between September and March, because of heavy leaf buying during this period, and at a minimum in the summer, prior to such buying season. It is customary in the industry to borrow short term funds in order to finance these seasonal purchases of leaf tobacco. During 1966 short-term borrowings ranged between a minimum and maximum of $10,900,000 and $49,900,000, respectively. Such short-term borrowings on March 31, 1967 were $ 31,400,000. Prices Sales The list price of the Company's filter and non-filter king-size and 100 mm. filter cigarettes is $9.20 per thousand and of non-filter regular size is $9.00 per thousand. Such figures reflect a price increase of $.20 per thousand effective March, 1966. The prices include Federal excise tax at the rate of $4 per thousand and are subject to the usual 2% cash discount if paid within ten days. State and Local Taxes At April 30, 1967, excise taxes on cigarettes, which are levied upon and paid by the distributors, were in effect in forty-nine States, the District of Columbia and a number of municipalities. Such taxes, many of which have been increased in recent years, range from two cents to fifteen cents per package of twenty cigarettes. Employees On April 30, 1967, the Company had approximately employees, of whom approximately .. were hourly rated production and service employees covered by collective bargaining agreements with affiliates of the AFL-CIO and some independent craft unions. The remaining .... employees are other hourly rated personnel or are salaried employees serving in executive, administrative, engineer- ing, supervisory, production and clerical capacities. On January 1, 1965, a three-year contract relating to cigarette operations was entered into with the Tobacco Workers' International Union AFL-CIO. [Refer to employee benefits with possible reference to notes in financial statements regarding pension plans.] PROPERTY The properties of the Company are employed generally in the processing and storing of tobacco and in the manufacture of the Company's tobacco products and storage of such manufactured products. Its principal properties are owned in fee and are located as set forth below. With minor exceptions, all machinery used by the Company is owned by it. All properties are in good condition, and the cigarette-making machinery and the cigarette-wrapping and packing machinery are of modern design and of high-speed type. The Company has plants for manufacture of its tobacco products at Greensboro, North Carolina, and Louisville, Kentucky. The Greensboro plant is devoted exclusively to the manufacture of cigarettes and is a modern, one-story air-conditioned building covering thirteen acres of a plot of approximately eighty acres. The Louisville plant, which is a multi-storied building occupying approximately twelve acres of a plot of about twenty-four acres, is utilized for the manufacture of cigarettes, as well as little cigars, chewing tobacco and smoking tobacco. 9 .__ ./np-.___..

(2) The Company has an agreement which, as renewed, terminates on November 30, 1967, with Mr. Gruber, who retired November 30, 1964, and whose retirement payments started as of that date. Under such agreement, payments at the rate of $25,000 per year are being made to Mr. Gruber for consulting services. On retirement, Mr. Gruber commenced to receive contingent compensation awarded over a period of prior years consisting of the annual release of escrowed shares referred to on page and the payment of $2,512 a month. The foregoing table reflects all current awards for 1966 to directors and officers under the Company's incentive compensation plan. Contingent awards of incentive compensation for 1964 and subsequent years under an amendment to the plan approved by the stockholders in 1966 are contingently payable in three equal annual instalments, commencing with the second year following the year for which the awards are made, if earned out by continued services and, in the event of retirement or other approved termination of employment, if requirements as to non-competition and conduct not prejudicial to the Company are complied with. Contingent awards for 1966 to the directors and officers referred to in the foregoing table, payable in annual instalments in each of the years 1968, 1969 and 1970. if earned out, were as follows: Mr. Bennett, $29,976; Mr. Darby, $3,394; Mr. Davies, $22,065; Mr. Erickson, $25,398; Mr. Jordan, $25,298; Mr. Levathes, $12,077; Mr. Okerson, $26,648; Miss Woessner, $3,333; Mr. Yellen, $39,553; and directors and officers as a group, $194,406.

875-P. Lorillard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3 -Pandick Press, Inc.-May 8, 1967 Transactions with Directors and Officers Mr. Meyer, a director of the Company, is President of Heintz van Landewyck, s.a.r.1., a Luxem- bourg tobacco manufacturer, all of the share capital of which is owned by Mr. Meyer and members of his family. P. Lorillard International S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Heintz van Landewyck s.a.r.l. each own a one-half interest in P. Lorillard s.a.r.l., a Luxembourg corporation, which, since April, 1964, has manufactured and sold under license certain of the Company's brands for several of the Common Market countries. On August 21, 1964, the Company purchased 4,600 shares from Mr. Gruber, a director of the Company, at a purchase price of $46.125 per share, which were used as a part of the consideration given in connection with the acquisition of the business of Usen Canning Co. (See "Business" herein.) On such date, the mean between the highest and lowest selling prices on the New York Stock Exchange was $46.75 per share. The law firm of Stassen, Kephart, Sarkis & Kostos, or predecessor firms (of which Mr. Stassen, a director of the Company, was a partner) were paid $35,975, $39,300 and $33,825 for legal services in international matters in 1964, 1965 and 1966, respectively. OPTIONS Restricted Stock Option Plan In October, 1957, the Company adopted a Restricted Stock Option Plan (the 1957 Plan), which provides for the granting to key employees of the Company, including officers, of restricted stock options (as defined in Section 421 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954) to acquire shares of Common Stock of the Company. The 1957 Plan specifies a maximum term for options granted thereunder of ten years from the date of grant and all outstanding options are for a term of ten years. Each outstanding option agreement contains a provision under which the employee agrees to remain in the employ of the Company for at least two years. Except under specified circumstances, an employee is not permitted, within two years after the date upon which an option shall have been exercised with respect to any share, to make a sale or other disposition of such share within the meaning of Section 425(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended by the Revenue Act of 1964. The Company believes that, under such Revenue Act, certain changes will be required in any option hereafter granted under the 1957 Plan if such options are to be treated as "qualified stock options". As of April 25, 1967, 31 key employees, including 13 officers, held options to purchase an aggregate of 33,100 shares of Common Stock of the Company. Of these, options for 2,100 shares were granted on September 18, 1959, at the price of $39.50 per share and options for 31,000 shares were granted on June 20, 1962, at $43.50 per share. In each case the option price was not less than 95% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time the option was granted. Included in the options granted in 1959 were options for a total of 2,100 shares to persons who were officers or directors, including an option for 900 shares held by Mr. Jordan and an option for 1,000 shares held by Miss Woessner. Included in the options granted in 1962 were options for a total of 17,500 shares to persons who were officers or directors, including options held by the following: Mr. Bennett, 3,000 shares; Mr. Darby, 1,000 shares; Mr. Erickson, 3,000 shares; Mr. Jordan, 1,000 shares; Mr. Okerson, 2,000 shares; and Miss Woessner, 500 shares. 13 W Cd W O O W ~ W

875-P. Lorillard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3-Pandick Press, Inc.-May 8, 1967 Stock Purchase, Option and Incentive Plan In April, 1963, the Company adopted a Stock Purchase, Option and Incentive Plan (the 1963 Plan) under which the Company's Common Stock may be sold through stock purchase or subscription arrangements or through stock options to key employees, including officers, of the Company. The stock option provisions under the 1963 Plan are generally similar to those in the 1957 Plan except that, among other things, the option price must be equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. As of April 25, 1967, 47 key employees, including 16 officers, held options under the 1963 Plan to purchase an aggregate of 83,400 shares of Common Stock of the Company. Of these, options for 30.200 shares were granted on July 31, 1963 for a period of ten years at the price of $44.75 per share and options for 53,200 shares were eranted on December 1, 1965 for a period of five years at the price of $45 per share. In each case the option price was not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time the option was granted. Included in options eranted in 1963 were options for a total of 15,400 shares to persons who were officers or directors, including options held by the followine: Mr. Bennett, 3.000 shares; Mr. Darby, 1,000 shares; Mr. Erickson, 3,000 shares; Mr. Jordan, 2,000 shares; and Mr. Okerson, 1,000 shares. Included in the options granted in 1965 were options for a total of 46,600 shares to persons who were officers and directors includin, options held by the following: Mr. Bennett, 7.500 shares; Mr. Darby, 1,000 shares; Mr. Davies, 6,000 shares; Mr. Erickson, 3,000 shares; Mr. Jordan, 5,000 shares; Mr. Levathes, 5.000 shares; Mr. Okerson, 5,000 shares; and Mr. Yellen, 10,000 shares. Under the 1963 grants, the stock purchase arrangement provides for the immediate sale and transfer of shares, with ten per cent of the purchase price (but not less than $5 per share) to be paid forthwith, annual instalments of approximately two and one-half per cent to be paid thereafter, the unpaid balance to be paid in July, 1968 (with right of prepayment) and simple interest payable to the Company on the unpaid balance of the purchase price. The employee is entitled to all dividends on the stock. The stock is held as collateral, subiect to being returned to the Company if the purchase price is not paid before the end of the period in July, 1968, without refund of any payments made or release of shares equivalent to such payments, but with no further liability on the part of the employee. If employment is terminated under certain circumstances within two years after the purchase agreement is made, the Company is entitled to repurchase all shares for the amounts paid by the employee exclusive of interest. Thirty-two employees agreed to purchase a total of 17,950 shares at $44.75 per share under this arrangement during 1964 and such shares were all sold and transferred upon receipt by the Company of the required down payment of $5 a share. Included among the employees agreeing to purchase shares under the stock purchase arrangement were the following directors and officers: Mr. Bennett, 500 shares; Mr. Davies, 3,500 shares; Mr. Erickson, 500 shares; Mr. Okerson, 500 shares; Mr. Yellen, 3,500 shares; directors and officers as a group, 9,900 shares. Miss Woessner was granted and exercised a stock purchase right on December 1. 1965 for 500 shares at $45 per share under an arrangement similar to those granted in 1963, except that principal payments of approximately four per cent per annum must be paid, with the unpaid balance due in November, 1970. The approximate amounts of the purchase price remainine unpaid as of February 1, 1967 were as follows: Mr. Bennett, $18,500; Mr. Davies, $130,000; Mr. Erickson, $18,500; Mr. Okerson, $18,500; Miss Woessner, $19,000; and Mr. Yellen, $130,000.

875-P. Lorillard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3-Pandick Press, Inc.-May 8, 1967 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS By decree dated November 16, 1911, of the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York, in a suit entitled United States of America vs. The American Tobacco Company and others, under the Sherman Act, each of fourteen corporations, including the Company, was prohibited from taking specified action, including (1) making transfers of its property to any other of those cor- porations, (2) making any agreements of specified types with any other of those corporations, including agreements relative to the control or management thereof, relative to the price or terms of purchase or sale of tobacco or tobacco products and relative to the apportionment among those corporations of trade or business either as to customers or localities, (3) holding stock in a corporation whose stock is also held by another of those corporations and (4), with stated exceptions, requiring a jobber to buy another brand or brands from such corporation in order to be able to buy a p9rticular brand. The Company is a defendant, along with one or more other tobacco manufacturers, in four cases which involve claims that the respective plaintiff or plaintiffs' decedents contracted cancer or other involvement of the lung or throat as a result of the use of tobacco products. Damages which range from $9,999 to $1,820,000 in three of such cases and $6,000,000 in the fourth are alleged, none of which has yet been tried. DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK The following statements are brief summaries of certain provisions contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, as amended, and certain provisions contained in indentures of the Com- pany. Such statements do not purport to be complete, are subject in all respects to the full provisions of the documents mentioned, and, except as otherwise stated, do not relate to or give effect to provisions of statutory or common law. Dividend Rights. Dividends may be declared and paid on the Common Stock after all accrued dividends on the Preferred Stock have been paid, if in the judgment of the Board of Directors the surplus or net profits are sufficient for such purpose after deducting such sum, if any, as shall have been reserved as working capital and the amount of dividends to accrue on the Preferred Stock during the current year. The holders of the Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of the Common Stock, are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 7% per annum of the par value thereof. Restrictions on Payment of Dividends. Certain restrictions on the payment of dividends on the Common Stock are contained in the Indenture dated March 1, 1951, the Indenture dated April 1, 1953 and the Indenture dated June 1, 1961, under which Debentures were issued. Such restrictions prevent the Company from making certain payments, including cash dividends upon its Common Stock, if the aggregate of such payments made after a date specified in the applicable document would exceed by more than an amount specified in such document the aggregate of (a) the consolidated net income of the Company and its subsidiaries during the period from such date to the making of such payment and (b) the proceeds of the sale of capital stock (other than, in the case of each Indenture except the last- mentioned, Common Stock which was being sold at the time such Indenture was being entered into). At December 31, 1966, retained earnings available for dividends on Common Stock, under the most stringent of those restrictions, was approximately $74,000,000. 15

875-P. Lorillard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3 -Pandick Press, Inc -May 9, 1967 Voting Rights. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held. Each holder of Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Preferred Stock held. Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation or dissolution or distribution of the assets of the Company (whether voluntary or involuntary), after payment to the holders of the Preferred Stock of par of $100 per share plus unpaid accumulated dividends, the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive pro rata al] the remaining assets of the Company. Other Rights and Provisions. Neither the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, nor the By-Laws contain any provisions with respect to preemptive rights. In the opinion of New Jersey counsel, the holders of Common Stock have preemptive rights with respect to the authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock issued and sold for cash; provided, however, that preemptive rights may be denied with respect to shares issued pursuant to a duly approved plan for the sale or issuance of Common Stock to employees and those actively engaged in the conduct of the Company's business if such plan is in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey. The shares of Common Stock issued under the 1957 Plan and the 1963 Plan (see "Options" herein) may be issued exempt from existing preemptive ri-hts. The Common Stock has no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions. There is no restriction on the repurchase of shares by the Company while there is an arrearage in the payment of dividends. The Common Stock, when issued for full consideration, is fully paid and nonassessable.
