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;…
