Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 22, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The Cigna Group (the “Company”) approved changes to the Board’s committee structure, effective January 1, 2026 (the “Effective Date”).  Recognizing and responding to the dynamic landscape of the health services industry, these changes reflect the Board’s ongoing commitment to strong corporate governance practices.  The Board undertook a comprehensive review of the overall committee structure and the responsibilities of each committee, including ensuring the committees’ scope of responsibilities are aligned with the Company’s strategic priorities, remains balanced and appropriate, and provides additional opportunities for the full Board to focus on matters significant to the Company.

Changes related to the responsibilities of the Compliance Committee.

1. Compliance Committee.  Given that the scope of the Compliance Committee’s oversight responsibilities was reduced upon the sale of the Company’s Medicare Advantage, Medicare Individual Stand-Alone Prescription Drug Plans, Medicare and Other Supplemental Benefits, and CareAllies businesses in March 2025, the responsibilities of the Compliance Committee will be assumed by the Board and other committees and the Compliance Committee will cease being a separate standing committee.

2. Audit and Compliance Committee.  Oversight of compliance matters remains an area of priority for the Board, and the Audit Committee will be renamed as the “Audit and Compliance Committee” with responsibility for enterprise compliance matters.

3. Corporate Governance Committee.  The Corporate Governance Committee will assume oversight of the Company’s ethics program, including with respect to the Company’s Code of Ethics and Principles of Conduct and the Director Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.  The Corporate Governance Committee will also oversee public clinical reporting.

4. Oversight of Clinical Compliance.  Oversight of clinical compliance, including the patient experience and satisfaction, will be exercised by the full Board, given its connection to the Board’s oversight of enterprise strategy.

Changes related to the responsibilities of oversight of technology.

5. Finance and Technology Committee.  Oversight of technology-related matters, including with respect to technology strategy and execution, information protection security program, business continuity and disaster recovery and artificial intelligence will be consolidated into the Finance Committee, which will be renamed the “Finance and Technology Committee.”

There are no material changes in the People Resources Committee’s responsibilities.  Additional information on the committees’ responsibilities can be found in the committee charters, available on the Company’s website.
