| COMPENSATION MATTERS |

Pay-for-Performance Alignment

| The Cigna Group compensation program emphasizes performance-based, at-risk compensation opportunities, with the majority of compensation tied to the Company’s long-term performance for the benefit of our stakeholders as reflected in the Company’s stock price. |

Our Enterprise Incentive Plan (EIP), our short-term, cash-based incentive program, rewards the achievement of financial goals and progress relative to strategic priorities that are aligned to our mission, values, and business strategy, as set forth below.
