Dear 22nd Century Group, Inc. Shareholder:

 

We are writing to remind you that 22nd Century is conducting the Company’s Annual Shareholder Meeting at The Buffalo Club, 388 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, New York 14202, on Saturday, April 25, 2015, beginning at 2:00 P.M. local time.

 

Whether or not you attend the annual meeting, it is important for you to complete and return your Proxy Card. You should have already received a Proxy Card in the mail (or an electronic Proxy from your broker); for your convenience, we have included an additional copy with this letter. Please return your completed Proxy this week in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.  Your votes are important!

 

NOTE: If you have multiple brokerage accounts and/or you have also received a proxy card from Continental Stock Transfer and Trust (our transfer agent) it is very important that you return EACH proxy card that was sent to you.

 

Thank you for your interest in 22nd Century Group and for your investment in 22nd Century Group common stock. We look forward to seeing you at the annual meeting!

 

	Best regards,
	Nathan P. Schmitt
	Investor Relations

 

P.S.

Enclosed, for example purposes only, is a “specimen” pack of RED SUN that contains no cigarettes or tobacco. (Federal regulations prevent us from mailing actual tobacco cigarettes.) If you are a smoker, please show this pack to your favorite retailer and ask him/her to order RED SUN for you!
