in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act

by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</TD>

439,960 shares of the Common Stock (adjusted by subsequent capital adjustments) issuable under the
Plan and Aflac's registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on June 26, 2006 (File No.
333-135324) registering 1,000,000 shares of the Common Stock issuable under the Plan, are

PART II INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed with the SEC by Aflac and the Plan are incorporated herein by
reference and made a part hereof:
(a) Aflac's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and the
Plan's Annual Report on Form 11-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007;
(b) All other reports filed by Aflac pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") since December 31, 2008, and all other reports filed by the Plan pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act since December 31, 2007; and
(c) The description of the Common Stock contained in Aflac's Registration Statement No. 0-7671
on Form 8-A, filed March 29, 1974, including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents subsequently filed by Aflac and the Plan pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates
that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining
unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the
dates of filing of such documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to
the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also
is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any
statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to
constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the securities described herein has been passed upon for Aflac by Joey M.
Loudermilk, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary for Aflac. As of May
4, 2009, Mr. Loudermilk beneficially owned 247,662 shares of Common Stock, 316,146
options to purchase shares of Common Stock that are exercisable
within 60 days and 29,384 shares of
restricted stock for which he has the right to vote but may not receive until they have vested
three years from the date of grant and certain Company performance goals have been met.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Georgia Business Corporation Code permits a corporation to indemnify a director or officer
if the director or officer seeking indemnification acted in good faith and reasonably believed (i)
in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, that his or her action was in the best
interest of the corporation, (ii) in all other cases, that his or her action was at least not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and (iii) in the case of any
3
criminal proceedings, that he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful, provided that indemnification in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding. The
Georgia Business Corporation Code prohibits indemnification of a director or officer with respect
to conduct for which he or she was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was
improperly received by him or her, whether or not involving action in his or her official capacity.
The Bylaws of the Company provide for indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest
extent permitted by Georgia law. The Company's Articles of Incorporation also limit the potential
personal monetary liability of the members of the Company's Board of Directors to the Company or
its stockholders for certain breaches of their duty of care or other duties as a director.
The Company maintains (i) director and officer liability insurance that provides for
indemnification of the directors and officers of the Company and of its majority-owned
subsidiaries, and (ii) company reimbursement insurance that provides for indemnification of the
Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries in those instances where the Company and/or its
majority-owned subsidiaries indemnified its directors and officers.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The following is a list of exhibits filed or incorporated by reference as part of this
Registration Statement.
5.1
Opinion of Joey M. Loudermilk, General Counsel of Aflac, regarding legality of the
securities being registered.
23.1
Consent of KPMG LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
23.2
Consent of Joey M. Loudermilk, General Counsel of Aflac (included in opinion filed
as Exhibit 5.1 hereto).
24.1
Powers of Attorney (included on the signature page of this Registration Statement).
Aflac hereby undertakes that it will submit or has submitted the Plan and any amendment
thereto to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in a timely manner and has made or will make all
changes required by the IRS in order to qualify the Plan.
Item 9. Undertakings.
Aflac hereby undertakes:
(a)
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
to the registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in
4
the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included
in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933
to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned
registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such
purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering
required
to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned
registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material
information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to
the purchaser.
(b)
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
5
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
