On November 3, 2014, Aetna Inc. (the Company) announced that it will redeem for cash the entire $495.6 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 6.50% Senior Notes due September 15, 2018 (the 2018 Notes). The redemption will occur on or about December 3, 2014. The 2018 Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price that includes a make-whole premium, plus any interest accrued and unpaid to the redemption date. The Company expects to finance the redemption with additional indebtedness.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT; ADDITIONAL INFORMATION  Certain information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is forward-looking, including our expectations as to the financing of the redemption. Forward-looking information is based on management's estimates, assumptions and projections and is subject to significant uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Important risk factors could cause actual future results and other future events to differ materially from those currently estimated by management, including, but not limited to, changes in our future cash requirements, capital requirements, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows and our ability to raise funds through additional indebtedness, which may be impacted by, among other things, adverse and less predictable economic conditions in the U.S. and abroad or a downgrade in our financial ratings. For more discussion of important risk factors that may materially affect Aetna, please see the risk factors contained in Aetna's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Aetna's 2013 Annual Report), on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). You also should read Aetna's 2013 Annual Report and Aetna's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, on file with the SEC, for a discussion of Aetna's historical results of operations and financial condition.
