#### Lobbying Activity and Political Contributions
Active, principles-based, nonpartisan engagement with policy makers is of paramount importance to our ability to fulfill our mission to improve the health and vitality of those we serve. Consistent with our commitment to thoughtful and constructive engagement in public dialogues around the world, The Cigna Group engages in advocacy through regulated lobbying activity at federal and state levels and the disbursement of political contributions in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. In limited circumstances, contributions are made via corporate funds and more commonly through The Cigna Group Employee Political Action Committee (PAC), which is funded through the voluntary contributions of eligible employees. For more than a decade, the Company has voluntarily provided annual reports that describe the governance of our lobbying efforts and political activity with detailed contribution information. The Company’s Lobbying Activity and Political Contributions disclosure page (https://www.thecignagroup.com/our-impact/esg/healthy-company/lobbying-activity-political-contributions) provides enhanced transparency into the governance framework and priorities of our lobbying and political activity as well as trade association membership dues and detailed contribution reports that include information regarding the political candidates, parties, and committees that the Company supported through the PAC or by direct corporate contributions, including recipient names and amounts given.

#### Certain Transactions
Transactions with Related Persons

The Cigna Group has not adopted a written policy concerning the review, approval, or ratification of related-person transactions. The Cigna Group compiles information about transactions between The Cigna Group and The Cigna Group directors, director nominees, executive officers, and immediate family members and affiliated entities identified by directors, director nominees, and executive officers, as well as shareholders that identified themselves since the beginning of 2024 as beneficially owning more than 5% of the Company’s common stock. The Cigna Group Office of the Corporate Secretary conducts an analysis to determine whether there may be disclosure required under SEC rules as a related-person transaction. On an annual basis, the Corporate Governance Committee reviews the analysis prepared by the Company with the Board.
