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.

The following table sets forth information with respect to purchases and sales
of shares of common stock of Aetna by the Participants during the past two
years through April 3, 2002, the most recent practicable date. Prior to

shareholders in a spin-off, and Aetna changed its name to Aetna Inc. Entries
for dates prior to the December 13, 2000 spin-off reflect adjustments made in
