ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

 

Cigna Corporation is a holding company and is not an insurance company.  Its subsidiaries conduct various businesses described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (“2011 Form 10-K”).  As used in this document, “Cigna” or “the Company” may refer to Cigna Corporation itself, one or more of its subsidiaries, or Cigna Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.  The Company  is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K”) to update its 2011 Form 10-K for the changes noted below.

 

Except for matters described below, no other information in the 2011 Form 10-K is being updated in this Form 8-K for events or developments that occurred subsequent to the filing of the 2011 Form 10-K on February 23, 2012.

 

This document should be read in conjunction with and as a supplement to information contained in the 2011 Form 10-K (except for items updated herein). For significant developments since the filing of the 2011 Form 10-K on February 23, 2012, refer to Cigna’s subsequent 2012 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other relevant Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

 

Change in Accounting for Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

 

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) amended guidance (ASU 2010-26) on accounting for costs to acquire or renew insurance contracts via retrospective adjustment of prior periods.  This guidance requires certain sales compensation and telemarketing costs related to unsuccessful efforts and any indirect costs of contract acquisition to be expensed as incurred.  The Company’s deferred acquisition costs arise from sales and renewal activities primarily in its International segment.

 

The effect on the Company’s shareholders’ equity, shareholders’ net income, and shareholders’ net income per share is summarized below.

Implementation of this amended guidance does not have an impact on the underlying economic value, or cash flows of Cigna’s businesses, or on Cigna’s liquidity or the statutory surplus of its insurance subsidiaries.

 

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

 

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company also adopted the FASB’s amended guidance (ASU 2011-05) that requires presenting net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive statements.  This amended guidance is required to be adopted retrospectively for all periods presented.   The adoption of this amended accounting guidance resulted in providing a separate statement of comprehensive income, but did not have any effect on Cigna’s consolidated financial condition, results of operation or cash flows.
