Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 19, 2017, Cigna Corporation (the "Company") announced the results of its offer to purchase for cash up to $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 8.300% Notes due 2023, 7.650% Notes due 2023, 7.875% Debentures due 2027, 8.300% Step Down Notes due 2033, 6.150% Notes due 2036, 5.875% Notes due 2041 and 5.375% Notes due 2042. The early extinguishment of this debt is expected to result in a one-time after-tax expense of approximately $210 million that will be reported as a special item during the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017 and excluded from consolidated adjusted income from operations, the non-GAAP measure used by the Company to evaluate performance. Accordingly, this charge will not impact the Company's projected consolidated adjusted income from operations for the full year 2017 as discussed in the Company's earnings release dated August 4, 2017 and affirmed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 28, 2017. In addition, as previously announced, concurrent with the tender offer, the Company issued ten and thirty year notes in the aggregate amount of $1.6 billion with a weighted average coupon of 3.57%.
