Bangalore: It is mandatory for all the public companies to provide their share holders the annual report on a company's activities throughout the preceding year.

However, there are few companies which are not transparent about their activities and in a way like to keep little secrets. Rittenhouse Rankings, a corporate communications consulting firm has listed such companies whose annual letters not only contain least details but also makes it difficult for shareholders to get a clearer picture of the company's performance.

Read on to know which 10 companies made it to the list, reported by 247wallst.com.

Industry: Health Care Plans
Overall Rank: 1

Cigna, the global health services organization with a mission to help its customers improve their health, ranks number one in the list.
