Koppy Manager, Investor Relations ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Except as set forth below, information relating to the number of shares of Aetna's common stock beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by each Participant who is a Director or Named Executive Officer and his or her associates as of February 28, 2002 is set forth in the Proxy Statement. On March 15, 2001, Aetna granted 40,000 restricted stock units to Ronald A. Williams, Aetna's Executive Vice President and Chief of Health Operations. This grant was described in Mr. Williams's employment agreement that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.31 to Aetna's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, but was inadvertently excluded from the Beneficial Ownership Table and Summary Compensation Table in the Proxy Statement. In order to reflect this grant, the Beneficial Ownership Table should indicate that, as of February 28, 2002, Mr. Williams beneficially owned an additional 40,000 common stock equivalents, which represented 40,000 restricted stock units, of which 13,333 units vested on March 15, 2002, 3 13,333 units vest on March 15, 2003 and 13,334 units vest on March 15, 2004. In addition, the Summary Compensation Table and related notes should indicate that in 2001 Mr. Williams received a Restricted Stock Award valued at $1,496,000 on the date of grant; that, as of December 31, 2001, Mr. Williams held 40,000 restricted stock units with a value of $1,319,600; and that Aetna pays dividend equivalents on these units. Any unvested restricted stock units granted to Mr. Williams or to John W. Rowe, M.D., Aetna's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, will immediately vest upon either the occurrence of a "change in control" or upon a termination of employment without "cause" or for "good reason", or by reason of death or disability. Information relating to the number of shares of Aetna's common stock beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by each other Participant and his or her associates as of February 28, 2002 is set forth in Appendix A. Information relating to all purchases and sales of shares of Aetna's common stock by each Participant during the past two years through April 3, 2002, the most recent practicable date, is set forth in Appendix B. Except as set forth herein, in the Appendices attached hereto, or in the Proxy Statement, to the best of Aetna's knowledge no Participant (i) has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting, (ii) owns beneficially, nor do any of its associates own beneficially, directly or indirectly, any securities of Aetna or any subsidiary of Aetna, (iii) owns any securities of Aetna of record but not beneficially, (iv) has purchased or sold any securities of Aetna within the past two years, (v) has incurred indebtedness or otherwise obtained funds for the purpose of acquiring or holding securities of Aetna, (vi) is or has been a party to any contract, arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to any securities of Aetna within the past year, or (vii) has, nor do any of its associates have, any arrangement or understanding with respect to future employment by Aetna or any of its affiliates or with respect to any future transactions to which Aetna or any of its affiliates will or may be a party. Each of the Participants who is not a Director is an employee of Aetna or one of its affiliates and, except as set forth below or in the Proxy Statement, receives customary compensation and benefits from Aetna or such affiliate as applicable. In addition, except as set forth herein, in the Appendices hereto, or in the Proxy Statement, to the best of Aetna's knowledge there has not been any transaction, or series of similar transactions, since the beginning of Aetna's last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction or series of similar transactions, to which Aetna or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000 and in which any Participant or any associate of a Participant had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest. Aetna has entered into a special retention arrangement with Mr. Bennett. Under the arrangement, which does not constitute an employment contract, Mr. Bennett is entitled to a customary annual salary and a target annual bonus opportunity of 65% of base salary. If Aetna terminates Mr. Bennett's at-will employment other than for cause, or upon Mr. Bennett's decision to discontinue such employment by reason of a "change in job duties" as described in the arrangement, Mr. Bennett will be entitled to 78 weeks of cash compensation (calculated as annual base salary and target annual bonus). Mr. Bennett will receive a retention bonus of $100,000 on May 1, 2002, unless he voluntarily terminates his employment other than for a "change in job duties" (as described in the arrangement) or if Aetna terminates his employment for misconduct. Aetna has entered into a special severance arrangement with Mr. Casazza. Under the arrangement Mr. Casazza is entitled to 78 weeks of cash compensation (calculated as 150% of annual base salary) if, on or before December 13, 2002, Aetna terminates his at-will employment for any reason other than gross misconduct or Mr. Casazza terminates his employment for reasons described in the arrangement. Alternatively, if the severance payment described above is not applicable, Mr. Casazza will be entitled to 52 weeks or, if greater, the number of weeks of salary and severance payable under Aetna's Severance and Salary Continuation Benefits Plan, of cash compensation (calculated as base salary) if Aetna terminates his employment for any reason not involving misconduct. During this period, Mr. Casazza also will be eligible for employee benefits under the severance plan or program for which he would otherwise have been eligible but for the arrangement. Aetna has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Oakes. Under the agreement, which automatically extends from year to year unless terminated, with the current one-year term expiring on January 11, 2003, Mr. Oakes is entitled to a customary annual salary, with any bonuses, stock options or other compensation to be granted at Aetna's sole discretion. If Aetna terminates Mr. Oakes's employment "for convenience", Mr. Oakes will be entitled to cash compensation equal to his annual base salary, payable in installments over one year. 4 Aetna has retained Georgeson Shareholder Communications, Inc. ("Georgeson") to assist in the solicitation of proxies and for related services. Aetna will pay Georgeson a fee of up to $500,000, and has agreed to reimburse Georgeson for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Georgeson will use approximately 75 persons in its solicitation efforts. Aetna also has retained MacKenzie Partners, Inc. to provide advisory and consulting services in connection with this solicitation. In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited by telephone and other electronic means, advertisements and personal solicitations. Copies of Aetna's soliciting materials may be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and other nominees for forwarding to beneficial owners of shares and Aetna will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding such materials. The entire expense of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and distributing Aetna's Proxy Statement and related materials and the cost of soliciting proxies by Aetna will be borne by Aetna, except that shareholders will pay certain expenses for Internet access if they choose to access the proxy materials over the Internet. Although no precise estimate can be made at the present time, Aetna currently estimates that the total expenditures relating to the proxy solicitation incurred by Aetna will be approximately $2.4 million of which approximately $285,000 has been incurred to date. Such amounts are exclusive of salaries and wages of regular employees and officers. 5 Appendix A The following table sets forth the shares of Aetna's common stock (rounded up to the nearest whole share) beneficially owned, directly and indirectly, by each Participant who is not a Director or Named Executive Officer, and his or her associates, as of February 28, 2002: Shares of Common Number of Stock Participant Stock Units (1) ------------------------------ ------------------ --------------- Alan M.
