NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes thereto contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Form 10-K").

Note 1 — For purposes of these condensed financial statements, Cigna Corporation's (the "Company") wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries are recorded using the equity method of accounting.

Note 2 — See Note 7 – Debt included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for a description of the short-term and long-term debt obligations of Cigna Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Debt Issuance and Redemption. In order to decrease future interest expense and reduce future refinancing risk, the Company entered into the following transactions during 2021:

  • Debt issuance: On March 3, 2021, the Company issued $4.3 billion of new senior notes. The proceeds of this issuance were mainly used to redeem outstanding debt securities. The remaining proceeds are available for general corporate purposes. Interest on this debt is paid semi-annually.

$1,500 million (4)March 15, 20513.400%$1,479 million

(1) Redeemable at any time discounted at the U.S. Treasury rate plus 7.5 basis points. Redeemable at par on or after March 15, 2022.

(2) Redeemable at any time discounted at the U.S. Treasury rate plus 10 basis points. Redeemable at par on or after February 15, 2026.

(3) Redeemable at any time discounted at the U.S. Treasury rate plus 15 basis points. Redeemable at par on or after December 15, 2030.

(4) Redeemable at any time discounted at the U.S. Treasury rate plus 20 basis points. Redeemable at par on or after September 15, 2050.

  • Debt redemption: During 2021, the Company completed the redemption of a total of $4.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of certain of its outstanding debt securities. The Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $131 million ($101 million after-tax), consisting primarily of premium payments.

Revolving Credit Agreements. Our revolving credit agreements provide us with the ability to borrow amounts for general corporate purposes, including for the purpose of providing liquidity support if necessary under our commercial paper program discussed below. As of December 31, 2021, there were no outstanding balances under these revolving credit agreements.

In April 2021, Cigna entered into a $3.0 billion five-year revolving credit and letter of credit agreement that matures in April 2026 and a $1.0 billion three-year revolving credit agreement that matures in April 2024, which are diversified among 23 banks and replaced the five-year revolving credit and letter of credit agreement that was scheduled to mature in April 2023. Under the current agreements, Cigna can borrow up to $3.0 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, for general corporate purposes, with up to $500 million available under the five-year facility for issuance of letters of credit. The revolving credit agreements also include an option to extend the termination date for an additional one-year period, subject to consent of the banks.

Additionally, in April 2021, Cigna entered into a $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit agreement that will mature in April 2022 and is diversified among 23 banks. This agreement replaced the prior $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit agreement that was scheduled to expire in October 2021. Pursuant to this revolving credit agreement, Cigna can borrow up to $1.0 billion for general corporate purposes. The agreement includes the option to "term out" any revolving loans that are outstanding at maturity by converting them into a term loan maturing on the one-year anniversary of conversion.

Each of the five-year facility, the three-year facility and the 364-day facility include an option to increase commitments in an aggregate amount of up to $1.5 billion across all three facilities. Each of the three facilities also contain customary covenants and restrictions including a financial covenant that the Company's leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreements, may not exceed 60%, subject to certain exceptions upon the consummation of an acquisition.

FS-6

Commercial Paper. Under our commercial paper program we may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes privately placed on a discounted basis through certain broker dealers at any time not to exceed an aggregate amount of $5.0 billion. Amounts available under the program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time. The net proceeds of issuances have been and are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The commercial paper average interest rate was 0.26% at December 31, 2021.

The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of December 31, 2021.

Maturity of the Company's long-term debt is as follows:

(In millions)
2022$430
2023$2,754
2024$1,214
2025$2,957
2026$2,034
Maturities after 2026$20,947

Note 3 — Intercompany receivables of the Company consist primarily of net amounts due from Express Scripts Holdings of $7.8 billion as of December 31, 2021 and $1.4 billion (consisting of an $8.2 billion receivable offset by a $6.8 billion payable) as of December 31, 2020. Interest income on the receivable was accrued at an annual fixed rate of 5.50%. Interest expense on the payable was accrued at an average rate of 0.20% in 2021.

Note 4 — The Company had guarantees of approximately $86 million as of December 31, 2021. These guarantees are primarily related to outstanding letters of credit. In 2021, no payments have been made on these guarantees.
