Dear Jason:

 

Congratulations on your promotion with Cigna effective June 4, 2014.  I am
delighted to confirm your new compensation package as you assume the position of
President, International Markets.

 

§                 Base Salary – your salary will continue to be paid by Cigna
International Corporation, as stated in the Employment Agreement between you and
Cigna International Corporation, and will increase to a pre-tax annualized rate

conditions of your Employment Agreement are unchanged.

 

§                 Annual Incentive – your annual target will become HK
$3,682,414 (the equivalent of US $475,000) for the 2014 performance year.  As
you are aware, annual incentive is typically paid in the first quarter of the
year following the performance period and are not considered earned until the
date paid.

 

§                 Long-Term Incentive – your annual long-term opportunity will
become $950,000 and will continue to consist of the following two components:

 

–                Stock Options – grants are typically awarded in the first

performance and potential.  Options typically vest over a 3 year period and
expire no later than 10 years after grant.  The 2015 annual target is $475,000.

 

–                Strategic Performance Shares (SPS) – grants are typically
awarded in the first quarter of each year and may vary from 0 to 200% of target
based on individual performance.  SPS awards are typically paid or vested three
years after the beginning of the performance period.  Awards are not considered
earned until the date paid or vested.  The 2015 annual target is $475,000.

 

§                 Stock Ownership Guidelines – To align management and
shareholder interests Cigna executives are subject to stock ownership
guidelines.  Your stock ownership guideline for this position will become 300%
of your new base salary.  You will have five years from your promotion effective
date to meet your new ownership guideline.  Once you meet the guideline, you are
expected to maintain it on a continuous basis.

 

NEW TOTAL ANNUAL COMPENSATION OPPORTUNITY:                     US $2,000,000

 

Also, the following long-term incentive awards with an estimated present value
of $755,626 will be awarded to you:
