look-back” if all employee match eligible contributions were made as of the end of the year and matching contributions were based on the participant’s total annual eligible earnings as of the end of the year. The true-up match provides otherwise missed regular matching contributions for eligible participants caused by changes in an employee’s contribution rates during the year.

All types of matching contributions (regular and true-up) are collectively referred to as "employer contributions."

In addition to providing regular matching contributions and true-up contributions, the Plan also provides for discretionary matching contributions. The Plan Sponsor did not make a discretionary matching contribution to the Plan for 2024 or 2023.

#### THE CIGNA GROUP 401(k) PLAN

### NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Service Contract Act Contributions

Certain former participants of the Express Scripts, Inc. 401(k) Plan are eligible for additional contributions (“SCA Contributions”) to comply with the Service Contract Act (“SCA”) of 1965. SCA Contributions are determined by multiplying the contractually required hourly rate by the hours worked by such participant during the period from which such contribution is made (but not in excess of the hours required by the SCA to be credited for such purposes). This amount is then reduced by the cost of fringe benefits otherwise credited to such participant outside of the Plan for such period. For the 2024 plan year, the total SCA contributions were approximately $4.2 million.

Rollover Contributions

The Plan may accept rollover contributions. Rollover contributions represent distributions received from other “eligible retirement plans,” as defined in IRC section 401(a)(31)(E). Distributions from other plans are subject to certain conditions to be eligible for rollover into the Plan.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, the employer contribution and investment earnings, net of expenses. A participant is entitled to their vested account balance.

Vesting and Forfeitures

Employee and non-elective SCA employer contributions and related investment earnings are always fully vested.

Employer contributions and related investment earnings become fully vested upon completion of two years of service. Employer contributions made at any time and related investment earnings become fully vested earlier when an employee reaches age 65; dies; becomes totally and permanently disabled; or continues to be employed by a participating Cigna company that is sold and does not maintain a successor plan. Early vesting also would occur if Cigna discontinues matching contributions or terminates the Plan. Participants earn
