Morrisville, NC –Alliance One International, Inc. (NYSE: AOI) announced today that, as part of its previously announced exchange offer for all of its outstanding 8 ½ % Senior Notes due 2012, it is extending the expiration date of the exchange offer.  The exchange offer, which was to have expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 1, 2007, will be extended to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 2, 2007 (the “Expiration Time”), unless further extended by Alliance One.  

Alliance One is offering to exchange up to $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 8 ½ % Senior Notes due 2012 which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for a like principal amount of its original unregistered 8 ½ % Senior Notes due 2012. The terms of the exchange securities are identical in all material respects to the terms of the original securities for which they are being exchanged, except that the registration rights and the transfer restrictions, applicable to the original securities are not applicable to the exchange securities.

As of 5:00 p.m. on October 1, 2007, Alliance One had received tenders for approximately $149.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the notes, representing approximately 99.3% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the notes and is extending the expiration of the exchange offer to ensure that all noteholders have the appropriate opportunity to participate in the exchange offer.

The exchange offer is made only pursuant to Alliance One’s prospectus, dated August 30, 2007, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of Alliance One’s Registration Statement on Form S-4. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 29, 2007.
