Forward-Looking Information The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” to encourage companies to provide prospective information, so long as those informational statements are identified as forward-looking and are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. The Company desires to take advantage of these provisions. This document contains cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected herein, and in any other statements made by company officials in communications with the financial community and contained in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Forward-looking statements are not based on historical information and relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Furthermore, forward-looking information is subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements containing words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “goal,” “objective,” “may,” “should,” “estimate,” “intends,” “projects,” “will,” “assumes,” “potential,” “target”, “outlook” or similar words as well as specific projections of future results, generally qualify as forward-looking. Aflac undertakes no obligation to update such forward- looking statements. The Company cautions readers that the following factors, in addition to other factors mentioned from time to time, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements: difficult conditions in global capital markets and the economy; exposure to significant interest rate risk; concentration of business in Japan; foreign currency fluctuations in the yen/dollar exchange rate; limited availability of acceptable yen-denominated investments; U.S. tax audit risk related to conversion of the Japan branch to a subsidiary; deviations in actual experience from pricing and reserving assumptions; ability to continue to develop and implement improvements in information technology systems; competitive environment and ability to anticipate and respond to market trends; ability to protect the Aflac brand and the Company’s reputation; ability to attract and retain qualified sales associates, brokers, employees, and distribution partners; interruption in telecommunication, information technology and other operational systems, or a failure to maintain the security, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data residing on such systems; failure to comply with restrictions on patient privacy and information security; extensive regulation and changes in law or regulation by governmental authorities; tax rates applicable to the Company may change; defaults and credit downgrades of investments; decline in creditworthiness of other financial institutions; significant valuation judgments in determination of amount of impairments taken on the Company’s investments; subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends to the Parent Company; decreases in the Company’s financial strength or debt ratings; inherent limitations to risk management policies and procedures; concentration of the Company’s investments in any particular single-issuer or sector; differing judgments applied to investment valuations; ability to effectively manage key executive succession; catastrophic events including, but not necessarily limited to, epidemics, pandemics, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, war or other military action, terrorism or other acts of violence, and damage incidental to such events; changes in accounting standards; increased expenses and reduced profitability resulting from changes in assumptions for pension and other postretirement benefit plans; level and outcome of litigation; allegations or determinations of worker misclassification in the United States.
