Appendix
to Exhibit 10.20




FORM OF AMENDED DEFERRED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT



This Amended Deferred Stock Unit Agreement between [XXX] and CIGNA Corporation completely replaces
and supersedes in its entirety the Deferred Stock Unit Agreement between the parties dated August
6, 2003, which was amended as of July 26, 2006. This Agreement is effective as of December 31,
2008.



The purpose of this Agreement is to comply with Internal Revenue Code section 409A and to reflect
the vesting of the Units, which occurred on August 6, 2006.



You and CIGNA, intending to be legally bound and in consideration of the promises in this
Agreement, mutually agree as follows:





	1.	 	Definitions. Under this Agreement, these terms shall have the following meanings:
	 
	(a)	 	“Agreement” – this Amended Deferred Stock Unit Agreement.
	 
	(b)	 	“CIGNA” – CIGNA Corporation, or a successor.
	 
	(c)	 	“Committee” – the People Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of CIGNA Corporation,
or any successor committee.
	 
	(d)	 	“Deferred Plan” – the CIGNA Deferred Compensation Plan of 2005.
	 
	(e)	 	“Payment Date” – if the Payment Event is Separation from Service, the July of the year
following the year of your Separation from Service. If the Payment Event is death, the ninety
(90) day period beginning January 1 of the year following the year of your death.
	 
	(f)	 	“Payment Event” – the earlier of your death or Separation from Service. If your Separation
from Service occurs as a result of your death, then death is considered to be the earlier
event.
	 
	(g)	 	“Separation from Service” – your retirement or other termination of employment, from your
employer or service recipient within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).
For this purpose, the level of reasonably anticipated, permanently reduced bona fide services
that will be treated as a Separation from Service is 30%. Generally, your Separation from
Service occurs when your level of services to CIGNA Corporation and its affiliates is reduced
by 70% or more.




 









 






	(h)	 	“Stock Plan” – the CIGNA Long-Term Incentive Plan, or a successor plan.
	 
	(i)	 	“Units” – the deferred stock units described in paragraph 2.
	 
	(j)	 	“Vesting Date” – August 6, 2006, the date your right to Units vested as a result of the
Committee’s determination that CIGNA had met certain performance goals that would cause the
Units to vest. Such performance goals were approved by the Committee when the Units were
granted.
	 
	2.	 	Deferred Stock Units.
	 
	(a)	 	CIGNA granted you [XXX] on August 6, 2003. The number of Units was adjusted to [XXXX] to
reflect a three-for-one stock split on June 4, 2007.
	 
	(b)	 	Each Unit represents your right to receive, under the terms and conditions described in this
Agreement, payment of:






	 	(1)	 	One share of CIGNA common stock; and
	 
	 	(2)	 	Dividend equivalents on one share of CIGNA common stock as described in
paragraph 4.




3. Deferred Share Issuance. Issuance of the shares described in paragraph 2(b)(1) (except for
those shares that CIGNA issued and withheld to meet tax withholding requirements upon the vesting
of the Units) will be deferred until the Payment Date. CIGNA will issue the shares under Article 9
of the Stock Plan as a grant in lieu of an award under a Qualifying Incentive Plan. This Agreement
is a Qualifying Incentive Plan.



4. Dividend Equivalents. From the Vesting Date until the Payment Date, CIGNA will credit an amount
equal to the dividends CIGNA pays on each share of common stock to your Deferred Plan account for
each vested Unit. CIGNA will pay you these deferred dividend equivalents in a single lump sum on
the Payment Date. During this deferral period CIGNA will also credit (or debit) your Deferred Plan
account with hypothetical earnings (or losses) on the deferred dividend equivalents in accordance
with section 3.4 of the Deferred Plan. CIGNA will base the hypothetical earnings credits (or loss
debits) on the provisions of the Deferred Plan. CIGNA will pay you any accumulated hypothetical
earnings in a single lump sum on the Payment Date.



5. Payments after Your Death. Any payments made under this Agreement after your death shall be
made in a lump sum on the applicable Payment Date to your surviving spouse or, if you have no
surviving spouse, to your estate.





	6.	 	Share Adjustments.
	 
	(a)	 	In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, or other subdivision or combination of CIGNA
common stock, the Committee shall make a proportionate adjustment in the number of shares
under paragraph 2(b)(1) and in the number of shares that form the basis of the dividend
equivalents under paragraph 2(b)(2).
	 
	(b)	 	If the outstanding shares of CIGNA common stock are changed or converted into, exchanged or
exchangeable for, a different number or kind of shares or other securities of CIGNA or of
another corporation, by reason of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification or




 









 






	 	 	combination (an Event), the Committee shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number
and/or kind of shares under paragraph 2(b)(1) and in the number and/or kind of shares that
form the basis of the dividend equivalents under paragraph 2(b)(2), so that your proportionate
interest under this Agreement shall be maintained as before the Event.




7. Effect of Agreement. This Agreement is not a contract of employment for any specified term, and
nothing in it is intended to change, and it shall not be construed as changing, the nature of your
employment from an at-will relationship. This Agreement is limited to the terms and conditions
that it includes and does not otherwise address your compensation or benefits, your duties and
responsibilities, or any of CIGNA’s rights as employer. This Agreement contains the entire
agreement between you and CIGNA with respect to the matters addressed herein and fully replaces and
supersedes all prior agreements or understandings between them related to such matters.



8. Applicable Law. The Agreement is entered into in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and at all
times and for all purposes shall be interpreted, enforced and governed under its laws without
regard to principles of conflict of laws.



9. Arbitration of Disputes. CIGNA and you agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American
Arbitration Association, as modified by CIGNA. Copies of the Arbitration Policy and Rules and
Procedures can be obtained from your Human Resources representative. A legal judgment based upon
the Arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the matter.



10. Successors. CIGNA’s rights and obligations under this Agreement will inure to the benefit of,
and be binding upon, CIGNA’s successors and assigns. Your rights under this Agreement, including
the right to receive CIGNA common stock or any other payment, shall not be assignable or
transferable by you except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any other attempted
assignment or alienation shall be void and of no force or effect.



11. Funding of Payments. CIGNA’s obligations under this Agreement to issue shares and make cash
payments are unfunded and unsecured promises, and shall be considered as such for tax purposes and
for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income and Security Act of 1974. Cash shall be paid when
due out of CIGNA’s general assets.



12. Withholding. You must satisfy any required tax withholding obligation when the Units are paid,
and CIGNA reserves the right to withhold enough shares to cover all or part of any applicable tax
withholding.



13. Changes to Agreement. Any amendment to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both
you and CIGNA.

successor provisions.
