Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Creation of a Direct Financial

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 24, 2012, Reynolds American Inc. ("RAI") entered into an Underwriting Agreement related to the underwritten public offering of $2.55 billion aggregate principal amount of its senior notes, consisting of: (i) $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.050% Senior Notes due 2015 (the "2015 Notes");

(ii) $1,100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.250% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes"); and (iii) $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.750% Senior Notes due 2042 (the "2042 Notes," and together with the 2015 Notes and the 2022 Notes, the "Notes"). The Notes were registered pursuant to RAI's shelf registration statement (File No. 333-167129) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 27, 2010 (the "Registration Statement"). The sale of the Notes is expected to close on October 31, 2012, subject to customary closing conditions.

RAI intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to redeem or repurchase the $625 million aggregate principal amount of RAI's 7.25% notes due 2013, to repay or prepay in full the $550 million amount currently outstanding under RAI's term loan facility, plus accrued interest, to repurchase shares of RAI's common stock, and for other general corporate purposes.

So today RAI closes on a $2.5 billion dollar financing. On Friday the 9th Star releases their 10Q and then on Monday the 12th at 9:00 am, RAI holds their Investor Kickoff Announcement (conference call?).

The next 12 days are shaping up to be very interesting indeed.
