Safe Harbor Statement (1 of 2)
Safe Harbor Statement Under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:
This document, and oral statements made with respect to information contained in this communication, contain certain forward
-looking information about Anthem, Inc. (“Anthem”), Cigna Corporation (“Cigna”) and the combined businesses of Anthem and
Cigna that is intended to be covered by the safe harbor for “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not generally historical facts. Words such as
“expect(s),” “feel(s),” “believe(s),” “will,” “may,” “anticipate(s),” “intend,” “estimate,” “project” and similar expressions (including
the negative thereof) are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. These
statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the merger between Anthem and Cigna; Anthem’s financing of
the proposed transaction; the combined company’s expected future performance (including expected results of operations and
financial guidance); the combined company’s future financial condition, operating results, strategy and plans; statements about
regulatory and other approvals; synergies from the proposed transaction; the combined company’s expected debt-to-capital
ratio and ability to retain investment grade ratings; the closing date for the proposed transaction; financial projections and
estimates and their underlying assumptions; statements regarding plans, objectives and expectations with respect to future
operations, products and services; and statements regarding future performance. Such statements are subject to certain known
and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond Anthem’s and Cigna’s control,
that could cause actual results and other future events to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by,
the forward-looking information and statements. These risks and uncertainties include: those discussed and identified in
Anthem’s and Cigna’s public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); those relating to the proposed
transaction, as detailed from time to time in Anthem’s and Cigna’s filings with the SEC; increased government participation in, or
regulation or taxation of health benefits and managed care operations, including, but not limited to, the impact of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, or Health Care Reform; trends
in health care costs and utilization rates; our ability to secure sufficient premium rates including regulatory approval for and
implementation of such rates; our participation in the federal and state health insurance exchanges under Health Care Reform,
which have experienced and continue to experience challenges due to implementation of initial and phased-in provisions of
Health Care Reform, and which entail uncertainties associated with the mix and volume of business, particularly in Individual and
Small Group markets, that could negatively impact the adequacy of our premium rates and which may not be sufficiently offset
by the risk apportionment provisions of Health Care Reform; our ability to contract with providers consistent with past practice;
competitor pricing below market trends of increasing costs; reduced enrollment, as well as a negative change in our health care
product mix; risks and uncertainties regarding Medicare and Medicaid programs, including those related to non-compliance with
the complex regulations imposed thereon and funding risks with respect to revenue received from participation therein; our
projected consolidated revenue growth and global medical customer growth; a downgrade in our financial strength ratings;
litigation and investigations targeted at our industry and our ability to resolve litigation and investigations within estimates;
medical malpractice or professional liability claims or other risks related to health care services provided by our subsidiaries;…

Safe Harbor Statement (2 of 2)
Safe Harbor Statement Under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 Continued:
…our ability to repurchase shares of its common stock and pay dividends on its common stock due to the adequacy of its cash
flow and earnings and other considerations; non- compliance by any party with the Express Scripts, Inc. pharmacy benefit
management services agreement, which could result in financial penalties; our inability to meet customer demands, and
sanctions imposed by governmental entities, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; events that result in
negative publicity for us or the health benefits industry; failure to effectively maintain and modernize our information systems
and e-business organization and to maintain good relationships with third party vendors for information system resources;
events that may negatively affect Anthem’s licenses with the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association; possible impairment of the
value of our intangible assets if future results do not adequately support goodwill and other intangible assets; intense
competition to attract and retain employees; unauthorized disclosure of member or employee sensitive or confidential
information, including the impact and outcome of investigations, inquiries, claims and litigation related to the cyber attack
Anthem reported in February 2015; changes in the economic and market conditions, as well as regulations that may negatively
affect our investment portfolios and liquidity; possible restrictions in the payment of dividends by our subsidiaries and increases
in required minimum levels of capital and the potential negative effect from our substantial amount of outstanding indebtedness;
general risks associated with mergers and acquisitions; various laws and provisions in Anthem’s governing documents that may
prevent or discourage takeovers and business combinations; future public health epidemics and catastrophes; and general
economic downturns. Important factors that could cause actual results and other future events to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements made in this communication are set forth in other reports or documents that Anthem and/or Cigna
may file from time to time with the SEC, and include, but are not limited to: (i) the ultimate outcome of the proposed transaction,
including the ability to achieve the synergies and value creation contemplated by the proposed transaction, (ii) the ultimate
outcome and results of integrating the operations of Anthem and Cigna, (iii) disruption from the merger making it more difficult
to maintain businesses and operational relationships, (iv) the risk that unexpected costs will be incurred in connection with the
proposed transaction, (v) the timing to consummate the proposed transaction, (vi) the possibility that the proposed transaction
does not close, including, but not limited to, due to the failure to satisfy the closing conditions, including the receipt of required
regulatory approvals and the receipt of approval of both Anthem’s and Cigna’s shareholders and stockholders, respectively, and
(viii) the risks and uncertainties detailed by Cigna with respect to its business as described in its reports and documents filed with
the SEC. All forward-looking statements attributable to Anthem, Cigna or any person acting on behalf of Anthem and/or Cigna are
expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward- looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof. Except to the extent otherwise required by federal securities
law, neither Anthem nor Cigna undertake any obligation to republish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or the receipt of new information.
Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures in Anthem’s and Cigna’s SEC reports.
