The Corporation expects to use the following information to communicate with shareholders in connection with CIGNA Corporation’s 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Re: 2004 CIGNA Corporation Proxy Statements; Election of Directors and Ratification of Independent Auditors

•   CIGNA Corporation is seeking shareholder support for the election of the four nominees listed in its March 26, 2004 Proxy Statement: Robert Campbell, Jane Henney, M.D., Charles R. Shoemate (for terms to expire in 2007) and Louis W. Sullivan, M.D. (for term to expire in 2006). The Corporation believes that these four nominees deserve the support of shareholders for election as Directors.

•   The Corporation is pleased that Jane Henney, M.D. has agreed to stand for election by the shareholders. Dr. Henney’s distinguished career and considerable experience will enable her to make significant contributions to the work of the Board and to the Corporation’s success.

•   Following the filing and distribution of the Corporation’s 2004 definitive proxy material, Louis W. Sullivan informed the Corporation of his decision to reduce his total public company directorships to six in 2004. Dr. Sullivan will remain on the CIGNA Corporation Board if reelected at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 28, 2004.

•   CIGNA Corporation is also seeking shareholder support for the ratification of the Audit Committee’s appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers to serve as the Corporation’s independent auditors for the year 2004.
