[Cigna](https://www.bullished.co/tag/ci/) director Donna F. Zarcone told the board on October 6 that she will [retire effective December 31, 2026](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001739940/000114036126039271/ef20083475%5F8k.htm?ref=bullished.co), according to an 8-K the company filed Friday. The filing says her retirement "is not the result of any disagreement with the Company."

## What the 8-K says

The report falls under [Item 5.02](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001739940/000114036126039271/ef20083475%5F8k.htm?ref=bullished.co), the section of the form that covers departures of directors and certain officers. It states that Zarcone informed the board of The Cigna Group on October 6, 2026, that she will step down at year-end.

The filing was signed on October 9, 2026, by Andrea Nelson, Cigna's executive vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary. The form says nothing further about Zarcone's role on the board or about a replacement.

## What it changes

Zarcone remains a director until December 31, 2026\. The filing names no successor and does not say whether the seat will be filled.

Cigna shares closed at $282.43 at Friday's close, up about 0.5% for the session, according to market data. That close came before the filing was public, so it is not a reaction to the news.

The date to note is December 31, 2026, when Zarcone's retirement from the Cigna board takes effect.
