On May 13, 2013, Cigna Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Form 8-K to disclose the resignation of Ralph J. Nicoletti, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. On July 11, 2013, the Company and Mr. Nicoletti executed an Agreement and Release in connection with his resignation. This Form 8-K summarizes the material terms of the agreement.
Under the agreement, as previously disclosed, Mr. Nicoletti’s resignation as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer was effective as of July 12, 2013. His employment with the Company will end on September 13, 2013. The Company will continue to pay Mr. Nicoletti at his current base salary rate through his employment termination date, as well as provide him with health benefits through the end of September 2013. Mr. Nicoletti’s retirement and deferred compensation arrangements and long-term equity-based incentive awards will continue to operate in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company plan, including forfeiture of awards unvested or vested but unexercised as of his employment termination date. The agreement also includes confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-competition, non-disparagement and release obligations. In exchange for Mr. Nicoletti’s commitments under the agreement and his agreement to provide the Company with reasonable consulting services following his employment termination date through December 31, 2013, the Company will pay him a one-time cash lump sum of $500,000 within 30 days of his employment termination date. In the event that the consulting services exceed, or are anticipated to exceed, 10 hours per calendar month, the Company will request that Mr. Nicoletti enter into a separate consulting services agreement that will include additional compensation for services in excess of 10 hours per calendar month at an hourly rate based on his current base salary rate.
A copy of Mr. Nicoletti’s agreement is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein. The description of the agreement contained in this Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the attached document.
