(AFL) Web Site: http://www.aflac.com/ Aflac Incorporated, incorporated in 1973, is a general business holding company and acts as a management company, overseeing the operations of its subsidiaries by providing management services and making capital available. Its principal business is supplemental health and life insurance, which is marketed and administered through its subsidiary, American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus (Aflac), which operates in the United States (Aflac U.S.) and as a branch in Japan (Aflac Japan). Most of Aflac's policies are individually underwritten and marketed through independent agents. Aflac Japan sells supplemental insurance products, including cancer life plans, general medical indemnity plans, medical/sickness riders, care plans, living benefit life plans, ordinary life insurance plans and annuities. Aflac U.S. sells supplemental insurance products, including accident/disability plans, cancer expense plans, short-term disability plans, sickness and hospital indemnity plans, hospital intensive care plans, fixed-benefit dental plans, vision care plans, long-term care plans, and life insurance products. During the year ended December 31, 2007, Aflac Japan accounted for 71% of the Company’s total revenues. Aflac’s insurance business consists of two segments: Aflac Japan and Aflac U.S. Aflac Japan, which operates as a branch of Aflac. Insurance Products - Japan Aflac Japan’s stand-alone medical product, EVER, offers a basic level of hospitalization coverage with an affordable premium. The Company’s added to its medical product portfolio in February 2007, with EVER Paid Up, a product that allows policyholders to choose to pay higher premium payments on the front end so they will be payment-free at either age 60 or 65. In August 2007, it introduced Gentle EVER, which helps consumers who may have a health condition that would exclude them from purchasing the other EVER products. The cancer life insurance plans the Company offers in Japan provides a lump-sum benefit upon initial diagnosis of internal cancer and a fixed daily benefit for hospitalization and outpatient services related to cancer, as well as surgical, convalescent and terminal care benefits. In September 2007, it introduced a new product called Cancer Forte. The life products that the Company offers in Japan provides death benefits and cash surrender values. These products are available as stand- alone policies and riders. Some plans have features that allow policyholders to convert a portion of their life insurance to medical, nursing care, or fixed annuity benefits at a predetermined age. The Company also offers traditional fixed-income annuities and care policies. Insurance Products - U.S. The Company designs its U.S. insurance products to provide supplemental coverage for people who already have major medical or primary insurance coverage. Its policies are portable and pay regardless of other insurance. Benefits are paid in cash directly to policyholders, therefore they have the opportunity to use this cash to cover expenses of their choosing. The Company’s health insurance plans are guaranteed-renewable for the lifetime of the policyholder (to age 70 for short-term disability policies). Aflac U.S. offers an accident and disability policy to protect against losses resulting from accidents. The accident portion of the policy includes lump-sum benefits for accidental death, dismemberment and specific injuries as well as fixed benefits for hospital confinement. Optional disability riders are also available. Short-term disability policies provide disability benefits with a variety of elimination and benefit period options. The longest such benefit period offered is two years. The Company’s U.S. cancer plans are designed to provide insurance benefits for medical and non-medical costs that are not covered by major medical insurance. Benefits include a first-occurrence benefit that pays an initial amount when internal cancer is first diagnosed; a fixed amount for each day an insured is hospitalized for cancer treatment; fixed amounts for radiation, chemotherapy and surgery, and a wellness benefit applicable toward certain diagnostic tests. In August 2007, the Company introduced its newest cancer product, Maximum Difference. This cancer indemnity plan incorporates coverage for medical advances in cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and the many new ways cancer patients may receive their care. Maximum Difference allows customization of coverage to fit varying needs and budgets. The Company’s hospital indemnity products provide fixed daily benefits for hospitalization due to accident or sickness. Aflac U.S. offers a specified health event policy that gives consumers three benefit and premium levels from which they may select. One of the levels combines the specified health event policy with the Company's intensive care plan. By leveraging administrative efficiencies, consumers can purchase the combined coverage for less than purchasing the policies separately. Source: Page 1 COMPANY PROFILE Aflac U.S. offers term and whole life policies sold through payroll deduction at the worksite and various term and whole life policies on a direct basis. The Life Protector Series product line offers term policies with varying duration options and a new whole life policy with additional benefits, including an increased face value option. It also offers a series of fixed-benefit dental policies, providing various levels of benefits

    IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE In re PEPSIAMERICAS, INC. : Consolidated C.A. No. 4530-VCS SHAREHOLDERS LITIGATION : VERIFIED CONSOLIDATED CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT Plaintiffs Philadelphia Public Employees Retirement System (“Philadelphia PERS”), The General Retirement System of the City of Detroit (“Detroit General”), The Police and Fire Retirement System of the City of Detroit (“Detroit P&F”), the City of Ann Arbor Employees’ Retirement System (“Ann Arbor”) and Beverly Rosman (“Rosman,” and collectively with Philadelphia PERS, Detroit General, Detroit P&F and Ann Arbor, “Plaintiffs”), by and through their undersigned counsel, upon knowledge as to themselves and upon information and belief as to all other matters, allege as follows: NATURE OF THE ACTION 1. Plaintiffs are holders of common stock of PepsiAmericas, Inc. (“PAS” or the “Company”). Plaintiffs bring this action individually and as a class action on behalf of all holders of PAS common stock other than the defendants and their affiliates. Plaintiffs seek injunctive and other equitable relief in connection with the proposal of PepsiCo, Inc. (“PepsiCo”) to acquire all of the PAS’ outstanding shares that PepsiCo does not already own for a combination of cash and stock valuing PAS at $23.27 per share (the “Proposed Merger”). 2. PepsiCo simultaneously offered to acquire Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. (“PBG” and with PAS, the “Companies”) at $29.50 per share, and has made consummation of a merger with either bottler contingent on consummating a merger with the other. PepsiCo’s offers are timed and structured to favor PepsiCo and promise a paltry 17.1 percent premium over the closing prices of the Companies’ stock on April 17, 2009, the last trading day prior to PepsiCo’s announcement of the Proposed Merger.

    GPLA booklet 04 new 9/28/04 6:59 PM Page 37 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency • U.S. Department of Energy • Center for Resource Solutions 2007 Green Power Leadership Awards The 2007 Green Power Leadership Awards are hosted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States Department of Energy (DOE), and the Center for Resource Solutions (CRS). EPA and DOE recognize leading green power purchasers and green power suppliers respectively. CRS recognizes leading organizations and individuals building the market for green power. The Green Power Leadership Awards for purchasers is a recognition program of the EPA Green Power Partnership, a voluntary program working to reduce the environmental impact of electricity use by fostering development of the voluntary green power market. The Partnership provides technical assistance and public recognition to organizations that commit to using green power for a portion of their electricity needs. Partners in the program include Fortune 500 companies, states, federal agencies, universities, and leading organizations around the country that have made a commitment to green power. For the 2007 green power supplier and purchaser awards, two panels of judges reviewed nearly 100 nominations through a national competitive review process. Purchasers were evaluated based upon the size and characteristics of their green power commitment, ingenuity used to overcome barriers, internal and external communication efforts, and overall renewable energy strategy. Recognition of these companies falls into three categories: On-site Generation, Green Power Purchasing, and Green Power Partner of the Year. Suppliers were evaluated based on the following criteria: technologies utilized, total sales, evidence of annual audit to verify procurement and sales, amount of green power supplied, and number of customers served.

NOOYI Dear Fellow Shareholders, PepsiCo Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer Last year I described the dual goals we have unwaveringly pursued since we began our transformation back in 2007: continue to deliver the strong, consistent financial results our shareholders expect year after year, while at the same time investing in and transforming the company to ensure it is built for long-term, sustainable growth. In short, perform while we transform. Looking back, 2012 was an important year in PepsiCo’s transformation journey. We took the necessary actions to strengthen our company. We made significant invest- ments behind our largest global brands. And we changed our operating model — moving from a loose federation of countries and regions to a more efficient and effective model that leverages PepsiCo’s talent, capabilities and resources globally. In 2013, we continued to reinforce these actions and began to realize the benefits. Despite a very challenging operating environment that included economic instability and uncertainty in many of our key markets around the world, we delivered on, or exceeded, each and every one of the financial goals we announced to shareholders at the 1 beginning of the year. Our performance in 2013 was strong: • Our organic revenue grew 4%.

Together, we provide millions of high-paying American jobs that depend on our ability to compete in the global economy. Ninety-five percent of the world’s consumers live outside of the United States. American companies seeking to serve these consumers rely on growth in these markets to restart economic growth and create jobs for Americans. In fact, 22 million Americans work for U.S. multinationals while millions of other Americans are employed by the thousands of small and medium-sized companies that supply and service U.S. multinationals. American companies require only a level playing field in international tax policy. Unfortunately, the Administration's proposal to repeal “deferral” would impose a unilateral tax on the foreign earnings of American companies, upsetting the competitive balance between U.S.
