**NEWS RELEASE**

**Pyxus Announces Expiration and Final Results of its Previously Announced Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation** 

**Morrisville, NC** – **February 3, 2023** – Pyxus International, Inc. (OTC Pink: PYYX) (the "Company"), a global value-added agricultural company, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary Pyxus Holdings, Inc.'s (the "Issuer") previously announced private offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") any and all of the Issuer's outstanding 10.00% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2024 (the "Existing Notes") for an equal principal amount of new 8.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 to be issued by the Issuer (the "New Notes") and the related solicitation of consents (the "Consents") from holders of the Existing Notes with respect to the indenture governing the Existing Notes (the "Consent Solicitation") expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on February 2, 2023 (such date and time, the "Expiration Date").

As of the Expiration Date, based on information received from Ipreo LLC, the Information Agent for the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation, $260,452,340 in aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes, representing 92.74% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding, had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn.

The settlement date for the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation is expected to occur on February 6, 2023 (the "Settlement Date"), which is the second business day following the Expiration Date. On the Settlement Date, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Exchange Offer described in the Offering Memorandum (as defined below), Eligible Holders who validly tendered their Existing Notes that are accepted for exchange by the Issuer will receive an equal principal amount of New Notes and cash representing accrued and unpaid interest on such Existing Notes to, but not including, the Settlement Date.

In addition, because the Issuer received requisite Consents in the Consent Solicitation, the Issuer, the guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association will execute a supplemental indenture (the "Existing Notes Supplemental Indenture") on the Settlement Date to amend the indenture governing the Existing Notes to, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the covenants, certain events of default and certain other provisions and release all of the collateral securing the Existing Notes, as described in the Offering Memorandum. The Existing Notes Supplemental Indenture will be binding on all holders of Existing Notes that are not tendered or accepted in the Exchange Offer.

The Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation are being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Confidential Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated January 5, 2023 (as amended, the "Offering Memorandum").

Ipreo LLC has been appointed as the exchange agent and information agent for the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation (the "Information Agent"). Any questions regarding the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation or the procedures for tendering Existing Notes and requests for copies of the Offering Memorandum may be directed to the Information Agent by phone at (212) 849-3880 or (toll-free) at (888) 593-9546 or by email at ipreo-exchangeoffer@ihsmarkit.com. You may also contact your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee for assistance concerning the Exchange Offer or Consent Solicitation.

The Exchange Offer is only being made, and the New Notes are only being offered and will only be issued, to holders of Existing Notes who certify in an eligibility letter from the Information Agent (the "Eligibility Letter") that they are either (a) persons that are in the "United States" and that are (i) "qualified institutional buyers," as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or (ii) institutional "accredited investors," as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act or (b) persons that are outside of the "United States" and that are (i) not "U.S. Persons," as those terms are defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act, (ii) not "EEA Retail Investors" or "UK Retail Investors" (each as defined in the Eligibility Letter) and (iii) in the case of persons located in the United

------

Kingdom, are "Relevant Persons" (as defined in the Eligibility Letter). Holders of Existing Notes who certify that they are eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation pursuant to at least one of the foregoing conditions are referred to as "Eligible Holders."
