SUPPLEMENT TO
DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT AND
NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on
Wednesday, May 4, 2022
On March 24, 2022, Philip Morris International Inc. (the “Company”) filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which was distributed in connection with the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 4, 2022 (the “Annual Meeting”).
The Company is providing this supplement (“Supplement”) to correct an inadvertent omission in the Proxy Statement regarding the biography of Michel Combes, a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company and a director nominee for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting.
Mr. Combes’ biography, which is included on page 24 of the Proxy Statement, did not state that he is a member of the Board of Directors of WeWork Inc. (“WeWork”). Mr. Combes joined the board of WeWork in September 2020 and WeWork subsequently became a publicly traded company in October 2021. Additionally, Mr. Combes has informed the Company that he will not stand for re-election to the Board of Directors of SoFi Technologies, Inc. at its upcoming annual shareholders meeting to be held in June 2022.
