British American Tobacco PLC said Friday that the U.K.'s Serious Fraud Office has closed an investigation of suspicions of corruption in the conduct of business by the company, its subsidiaries and associated persons.

The FTSE 100-listed cigarette maker, which houses the Kent, Dunhill and Lucky Strike brands, said the SFO is taking no further action in respect of this matter. The probe was disclosed in August 2017, the company said.
