Support Builds For Anthem-Cigna Deal The resulting business will be based at Anthem's Indianapolis headquarters.

Another prominent advisory firm has recommended that Indianapolis-based Anthem Inc. (NYSE: ANTM) shareholders approve the $54 billion acquisition of Cigna Corp. (NYSE: CI). Glass Lewis & Co. joins Institutional Shareholder Services and Egan-Jones Proxy Services in supporting the deal.

The companies expect it to close in the second half of next year.
