#### Report of the Audit Committee
The Cigna Group maintains an independent Audit Committee that operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee is independent (as defined in the listing standards of the NYSE, SEC regulations, and The Cigna Group independence standards).

The Cigna Group management has primary responsibility for preparing The Cigna Group financial statements and establishing and maintaining financial reporting systems and internal controls. Management is also responsible for reporting on the effectiveness of The Cigna Group internal control over financial reporting. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of The Cigna Group consolidated financial statements and issuing a report on these financial statements. The independent registered public accounting firm also is responsible for, among other things, issuing an attestation report on the effectiveness of The Cigna Group internal control over financial reporting based on its audit. As provided in the Audit Committee’s charter, the Audit Committee’s responsibilities include oversight of these processes. As part of its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee meets periodically with The Cigna Group Chief Financial Officer, Deputy Corporate Finance Officer, General Auditor, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, other members of management, and the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the adequacy and effectiveness of The Cigna Group internal controls and the quality of the financial reporting process.

In the performance of its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with The Cigna Group
