Message from Ronald A. Williams, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Aetna

Aetna's reputation for excellence and integrity is one of our company's most valuable assets. We have earned this reputation over the last 150 years by delivering quality products and services, and by adhering to the highest standards of business conduct. By having in place sound corporate governance principles, we help ensure our standards of excellence, integrity and accountability are applied to all aspects of our operations.

At Aetna, we have embraced the principles behind the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 , as well as the governance rules for companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange. These principles are reflected in the structure and composition of our Board of Directors and in our Committee Charters, and are reinforced through Aetna's Code of Conduct, which applies to every employee and to our Directors.

We believe sound corporate governance principles are good for our business, the industry, the competitive marketplace and for all of those who place their trust in us.
