I AM AN EMPLOYEE OF CIGNA REINSURANCE. MY TITLE IS AVP RISK MANAGEMENT/FINANCIAL ANALYSIS DIRECTOR. THIS POSITION IS NOT INVESTMENT RELATED. I HAVE BEEN IN THIS OR A SIMILAR ROLE SINCE MARCH 2002. CIGNA REINSURANCE REINSURES DEATH AND INCOME BENEFITS ON VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS ISSUED BY OTHER INSURANCE COMPANIES.
