Explanatory Note
Vector Group Ltd. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on July 31, 2013, to refurnish the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1. The revised press release corrects an error in the fourth paragraph by changing the second sentence to read as follows:
| |
• | “The decline in revenues in 2013 was primarily due to decreased unit sales of approximately 12.4% in the 2013 six-month period compared to the 2012 period, which was partially offset by higher pricing.” |
This filing corrects the error and no other changes have been made to Form 8-K.
