CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
CIGNA and its representatives may from time to time make written and oral forward-looking statements, including statements contained in CIGNA's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in its reports to shareholders. These statements may contain information about financial prospects, economic conditions, trends and known uncertainties. CIGNA cautions the reader that actual results could differ materially from those that management expects, depending on the outcome of certain factors. In some cases, CIGNA describes uncertainties when offering a forward-looking statement. Some factors that could cause CIGNA's actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include:
| 1. | increases in medical costs in CIGNA's health care operations, including increased use and costs of medical services; |
| 2. | increased medical, administrative or other costs resulting from legislative, regulatory and litigation challenges to CIGNA's health care business; |
| 3. | heightened competition, particularly price competition, which could reduce product margins and constrain growth in CIGNA's businesses; |
| 4. | significant changes in interest rates; |
| 5. | significant and sustained stock market declines resulting in payments contingent on certain variable annuity account values; |
| 6. | significant deterioration in economic conditions, which could have an adverse effect on CIGNA's investments; and |
| 7. | proposals to change federal income taxes. |
This list of important factors may not be complete. CIGNA does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made by or on behalf of CIGNA prior to the next required filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
