Re: CG Variable Annuity Separate Account
Connecticut General Life Insurance Company
Post-Effective Amendment Number 12 (File No. 33-48137)
Dear Sirs:
As Chief Counsel of the Retirement and Investment Services Division of CIGNA
Corporation, I am familiar with the actions of the Board of Directors of
Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (the "Company"), establishing the
Account and its method of operation and authorizing the filing of a Registration
Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, (and amendments thereto) for the
securities to be issued by the Account and the Investment Company Act of 1940
for the Account itself.
In the course of preparing this opinion, I have reviewed the Certificate of
Incorporation and the By Laws of the Company, the Board actions with respect to
the Account, and such other matters as I deemed necessary or appropriate. Based
on such review, I am of the opinion that the variable annuity contracts (and
interests therein) which are the subject of the Registration Statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the Account will when issued, be legally
issued and will represent binding obligations of the Company, the depositor for
the Account.
I further consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to Post-Effective
Amendment No. 12 to said Registration Statement and to the reference to me under
the heading "Experts" in said Registration Statement, as amended.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Mark A. Parsons
Mark A. Parsons
Chief Counsel
