Business profile

Updated

Aflac provides supplemental health and life insurance to individuals and employers in Japan and the United States. Its policies are designed to provide financial protection when someone becomes sick, is injured or dies. Eligible claims generally pay cash benefits that customers can use for costs their primary insurance may not cover.

In Japan, Aflac sells cancer, medical and nursing care coverage, as well as life insurance and products with savings features. Its cancer policies can pay a lump sum upon diagnosis and benefits for subsequent treatment. Medical policies cover events such as hospital stays and surgeries. Japan’s national health insurance system provides primary coverage, while Aflac’s supplemental products help with unreimbursed medical and nonmedical costs.

Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end. Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more. Read the proxy statement
