 supporting these contracts are comprised of diversified fixed income securities. Cash flow volatility (for example, timing of benefit payments) as well as asset underperformance can be passed through to the Plan through adjustments to future contract crediting rates. Crediting rates are reviewed not less than annually for resetting, and any adjustments can then be passed through to participants, which would generally be performed

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

### NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
through updating of the crediting rate for the Fixed Income Fund in order to bring the melded book value of the participants in line with the Plan’s cumulative contract value on the four underlying fully benefit-responsive investment contracts.

The traditional investment contract held by the Plan is a guaranteed investment contract with EAIC. The contract issuer is contractually obligated to repay the principal and interest at a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan. The crediting rate is based on a formula established by the contract issuer but may not be less than 0 percent and is reviewed not less than annually for resetting.

The Plan’s ability to receive amounts due in accordance with fully benefit-responsive investment contracts is dependent on the third-party issuer’s ability to meet its financial obligations. The issuer’s ability to meet its contractual obligations may be affected by future economic and regulatory developments.

Certain events might limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the contract issuer. These events may be different under each contract. Examples of such events include the following:

1. The Plan’s failure to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code or the failure of the trust to be tax-exempt under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code;

2. Premature termination of the contracts;

3. Plan termination or merger;

4. Changes to the Plan’s prohibition on competing investment options;

5. Bankruptcy of the plan sponsor or other plan sponsor events (for example, divestitures or spinoffs of a subsidiary) that significantly affect the Plan’s normal operations;

6. Bankruptcy of EAIC, the contract issuer to the traditional investment contract.

Note that if these certain events were to occur, the Plan may not be able to transact at contract value with the contract issuers and may elect to reflect any difference between market value and contract value by adjusting participants’ melded book value in the Fixed Income Fund. It is possible that under such events participants’ melded book value may decrease, however, the Plan Sponsor does not
