Analysis

On Jan 13, the first trading day after this news, the stock closed 6.0% below the previous close. A negative reaction despite neutral conference news would fit a pattern where positive or routine updates previously saw weak follow-through, such as the MRTP renewal filing, which preceded a -4.2% move. Investors may have focused on existing dilution pathways, including registered resale of up to 8,588,811 shares from prior warrants, and pending capital structure proposals, which can weigh on sentiment even when operational news appears constructive.

About 22nd Century Group, Inc.

22nd Century Group is the pioneering nicotine harm reduction company in the tobacco industry enabling smokers to take control of their nicotine consumption.

We created our flagship product, the VLN^® cigarette, to give traditional cigarette smokers an authentic and familiar alternative in the form of a combustible cigarette that helps them take control of their nicotine consumption. VLN^® cigarettes have 95% less nicotine than the traditional cigarette and have been proven to allow consumers to greatly reduce their nicotine consumption. Instead of offering new ways of delivering nicotine to addicted smokers, we offer smokers in the form that they are used to, the option to take control of their nicotine consumption and make informed and more productive choices, including the choice to avoid addictive levels of nicotine altogether.

Our proprietary non-GMO reduced nicotine tobacco blends are made possible by comprehensive and patented technologies and tobacco plants that regulate nicotine biosynthesis activities in the tobacco plant, resulting in full flavor and high yield with 95% less nicotine. Our extensive patent portfolio has been developed to ensure we have the only low nicotine combustible cigarette in the United States and critical international markets.

VLN^® is a registered trademark of 22nd Century Limited LLC.
