team enhancing appointment for BAT. Culture and collaboration are at the heart of my
leadership agenda, Cora shares these values and will play a key role in the Group's
transformation to build A Better Tomorrow. I have no doubt that Cora will bring a fresh

new insights and capability to our management team.

About BAT
BAT is a leading, multi-category consumer goods business with a purpose to build A Better
Tomorrow™ by reducing the health impact of its business through offering a greater choice of
enjoyable and less risky products for adult consumers.

We continue to be clear that combustible cigarettes pose serious health risks, and the only way
to avoid these risks is not to start or to quit. BAT encourages those who would otherwise continue
to smoke to switch completely to scientifically-substantiated, reduced-risk alternatives*†. In order
to deliver this, BAT is transforming into a truly consumer-centric multi-category consumer
products business.

BAT's ambition is to have 50 million consumers of its non-combustible products by 2030 and to
generate £5billion of New Categories revenue by 2025. BAT has set stretching ESG targets
including achieving carbon neutrality for Scopes 1 & 2 by 2030 and eliminating unnecessary
single-use plastic and making all plastic packaging reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025.

BAT employs over 50,000 people. The BAT Group generated revenue of £27.65 billion in 2022 and
profit from operations of £10.5 billion.

The company's Strategic Portfolio is made up of its global cigarette brands and a growing range
of reduced-risk*† New Category tobacco and nicotine products and traditional non-combustible
tobacco products. These include vapour, tobacco heating products, modern oral products
including tobacco-free nicotine pouches, as well as traditional oral products such as snus and
moist snuff. In 2022, we had 22.5 million consumers of our non-combustible products, a rise of 4.2
million on full year 2021.

References in this statement to 'BAT', 'we', 'us' and 'our' refer to the British American Tobacco
Group.
* Based on the weight of evidence and assuming a complete switch from cigarette smoking. These products are not risk
free and are addictive.
† Our vapour product Vuse (including Alto, Solo, Ciro and Vibe), and certain products, including Velo, Grizzly, Kodiak, and
Camel Snus, which are sold in the U.S., are subject to FDA regulation and no reduced-risk claims will be made as to these
products without agency clearance.
