Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On September 20, 2010, the Company announced that Michael Woeller, Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer of CIGNA Corporation’s U.S. operations and one of our named executive officers, is retiring from the Company effective October 8, 2010.
The Company entered into a retirement agreement with Mr. Woeller, dated as of September 20, 2010. Mr. Woeller’s agreement includes customary confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-competition, non-disparagement and release provisions. In addition, the agreement provides for benefits consisting of: (1) a payout under his annual management incentive arrangement; and (2) payouts under his long-term incentive arrangement, consisting of payments of his Strategic Performance Units (SPU) for the 2008-2010 performance period and a cash payment for restricted stock units he was previously granted, which will be valued based upon the price of CIGNA's common stock on December 30, 2010. The estimated aggregate value of these benefits is approximately $2.3 million. This estimate is based upon a target SPU value of $75 per unit, which is used in the 2010 proxy statement, his 2010 management incentive target and a per unit price for restricted stock units of $35.07, which represents the price of a share of CIGNA common stock on September 14, 2010. The actual payment and timing of the SPU award will be determined by the People Resources Committee in accordance with the terms of the CIGNA Long-Term Incentive Plan. A copy of Mr. Woeller’s separation agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and the description of that agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the attached document.
