27 GROWTH PROFIT GROWTH future conditions. Virtually every question, statement or comment was made in the context and consideration of its possible impact on PROFIT and GROWTH, including future conditions.

28 GROWTH Strategies 1.Positioned to win in a rapidly changing marketplace 2.“Global forces of change”—demographic, economic, legislative 3.Overall strategies:  Solutions offering differentiated value  Targeted investments for sustained future growth 4.More specifically:  Enhancements to innovative solutions and tools—PBM expansion, Catamaran  Connect to retail customer markets  Expand into new global geographies  Expand customer technology tools  Global Supplemental business—Medicare supplement products, in U.S.; Turkey is encouraging  Continued efficiencies for physician engagement partnering  CAC expansion—over 60 now. “Triple aim”: improve clinical quality, customer satisfaction, affordability

29 GROWTH: Discussion Topics 1.M&A priorities: Global portfolio; Seniors market, including duals; expand retail portfolio of capabilities (“retail” rather than “individual”) 2.ASO business: Competitors? Good growth over last couple of years. Over 80% of portfolio is ASO. Employers want a “more engaged wellness preventative care model with their employees.” 3.Competition in ASO business, impact on Cigna’s future? We’ll continue to be innovative. “Down market” of smaller employers—delivery platform different. See strong growth opportunities. 4.Distribution, beyond private exchanges. Movement from group to individual. Growth opportunity in supplemental and voluntary benefits—direct sales, affinity partners. We have both wholesale and retail experience. 5.Relative advantages in this market of life or health players, or both? “Don’t want to speculate.”

30 PEOPLE: Discussion Topics 1.Ability to grow Medicare Advantage membership next year with impact of rates 2.ASO National Account membership up or down end of year? Range from minus 1% or 2%, to plus 1%. 3.Pace of ASO conversions, 5 mos. before 2014? No meaningful employer acceleration. 4.Existing markets for seniors business. See exit (attrition) of 2% to 3% of current MA covered lives. 5.Targets for CAC expansion. 1 million lives now. Do not aggregate medical costs flowing through it. Been in space 6 years and 10 years with HealthSpring. Use CAC as preferred network in Go Deep markets. Will grow significantly. 6.Global Supplemental Benefits: Percent Turkey? Minimal in 2013. Will become big to rival Korea.

Size of market, nature of coverage, self-insured, full risk. Will take many different forms. 4.Rollout of public exchanges under ACA: opportunities? Don’t play under 50 life or individual guarantee cost market. Pilots for last 3 years, 10 cities. Learned much.

33 COMPETITORS: Discussion Topics 1.Competitive landscape for ASO? No broad change. Pricing might become more competitive. 2.Medicare Advantage: Market exits due to competition?
