The Marlboro maker and the e-cigarette giant have delayed completing parts of their deal while the Federal Trade Commission reviews Altria\u2019s control of store shelves. The Virginia-based company can\u2019t count Juul\u2019s earnings toward its own, pick Juul board representatives or turn its nonvoting shares into voting shares until the FTC wraps up its review, according to the Journal. The feds are reportedly focusing on Altria\u2019s efforts to buy retail shelf space for its e-cigarettes even as it planned to close up that business and invest in Juul, the paper reported. Altria agreed to give shelf space to Juul as part of the investment deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ARTICLE LINK:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/01\/17\/antitrust-probe-stalling-altrias-12-8b-deal-with-juul\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Antitrust probe stalling Altria\u2019s $12.8B deal with Juul<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"VAPING%20NEWS%3A%20JUUL%20%5BFederal%20Antitrust%5D\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;A federal antitrust probe is reportedly stalling tobacco titan Altria\u2019s $12.8 billion tie-up with Juul more than a year after the investment was announced.
