INTRODUCTION
In this filing and in other marketplace communications, CIGNA Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) make certain
forward-looking statements relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, as well as to trends and
assumptions that may affect the Company. Generally, forward-looking statements can be identified through the use of predictive
words (e.g., “Outlook for 2010”). Actual results may differ from the Company’s predictions. Some factors that could cause results to
differ are discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), including in the Cautionary Statement beginning
on page 95 of this Form 10-K. The forward-looking statements contained in this filing represent management’s estimate as of the date
of this filing. Management does not assume any obligation to update these estimates.
Unless otherwise indicated, financial information in the MD&A is presented in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the
presentation of 2009 amounts. In addition, certain amounts have been restated as a result of the adoption of new accounting
pronouncements. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
