<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:5%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">The Parent Company was incorporated in 1973 under the laws of the State of Georgia. The Parent Company 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, Aflac. Aflac operates in the United States (Aflac U.S.) and as a branch in Japan (Aflac Japan). Most of Aflac&#146;s policies are individually underwritten and marketed through independent agents. Additionally, Aflac U.S. markets and
administers group products through Continental American Insurance Company (CAIC), referred to as Aflac Group Insurance. Our insurance operations in the United States and our branch in Japan service the two markets for our insurance business.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:5%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">We believe Aflac is the world&#146;s leading underwriter of individually issued policies marketed at worksites. We offer voluntary
insurance policies in Japan and the United States that provide a layer of financial protection against income and asset loss. We continue to diversify our product offerings in both Japan and the United States. Aflac Japan sells voluntary
supplemental insurance products, including cancer plans, general medical indemnity plans, medical/sickness riders, care plans, living benefit life plans, ordinary life insurance plans and annuities. Aflac U.S. sells voluntary supplemental insurance
products including products designed to protect individuals from depletion of assets (accident, cancer, critical illness/ critical care, hospital intensive care, hospital indemnity, fixed-benefit dental, and vision care plans) and loss-of-income
products (life and short-term disability plans). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:5%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">We are authorized to conduct insurance business in all 50 states, the District of
Columbia, several U.S. territories and Japan. Aflac Japan&#146;s revenues, including realized gains and losses on its investment portfolio, accounted for 77% of the Company&#146;s total revenues in 2012, compared with 75% in 2011 and 2010, and
accounted for 75% and 77% of the Company&#146;s total revenues in the three-month periods ended March&nbsp;31, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The percentage of the Company&#146;s total assets attributable to Aflac Japan was 87% at December&nbsp;31,
2012, and 2011, and 86% at March&nbsp;31, 2013. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:5%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">Our principal executive offices are located at 1932 Wynnton Road, Columbus, Georgia

STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">At March&nbsp;31, 2013, the aggregate amount of our outstanding consolidated indebtedness was $4,283 million, of which none was secured. All unsecured indebtedness of the Parent Company would rank equally in right

reorganization or similar event involving a subsidiary, the assets of that subsidiary would be used to satisfy claims of policyholders and creditors of the subsidiary rather than the Parent Company&#146;s creditors. As a result of the application of
the subsidiary&#146;s assets to satisfy claims of policyholders and creditors, the value of the stock of the subsidiary would be diminished and perhaps rendered worthless. Any such diminution in the value of the shares of the Parent Company&#146;s
subsidiaries would adversely impact its financial condition and possibly impair its ability to meet its obligations on the debt securities. In addition, any liquidation of the assets of the Parent Company&#146;s subsidiaries (Aflac U.S., in
particular) to satisfy claims of such subsidiary&#146;s policyholders and creditors might make it impossible for such subsidiary to pay dividends to the Parent Company. Likewise, any inability of Aflac Japan to repatriate earnings to Aflac may also
limit Aflac&#146;s ability to pay dividends to the Parent Company. This inability to pay dividends would further impair the Parent Company&#146;s ability to satisfy its obligations under the notes. </FONT></P>

</B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:5%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2">The following is a general discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the
notes by an initial holder of the notes that is a non-U.S. holder (as defined below) that acquires the notes pursuant to this offering at the initial sale price set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement and holds the notes as
&#147;capital assets&#148; (generally, property held for investment) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), the Treasury regulations promulgated
thereunder (the &#147;Treasury Regulations&#148;), judicial decisions and current administrative rulings and practice, all as in effect and available as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly
with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be applicable to holders in light of their particular circumstances, or to holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income
tax law, such as broker-dealers, banks or other financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities (including private foundations) or qualified retirement plans, entities or arrangements that are treated as partnerships for U.S.
federal income tax purposes and their partners, dealers in securities or currencies, certain U.S. expatriates, holders subject to the alternative minimum tax, passive foreign investment companies, persons deemed to sell the notes under the
constructive sale provisions of the Code and persons that hold the notes as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Furthermore, this discussion does not address any
other U.S. federal tax consequences (e.g., estate or gift tax) or any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws. This discussion is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the
notes.<B> Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax consequences applicable to them in their particular circumstances.</B> </FONT></P>

purposes, is not (1)&nbsp;an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; (2)&nbsp;a corporation or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is created in, or organized under the laws of, the
United States or any political subdivision thereof; (3)&nbsp;an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; (4)&nbsp;a trust if (a)&nbsp;a court within the United States is able to exercise primary
control over its administration and one or more U.S. persons, within the meaning of Section&nbsp;7701(a)(30) of the Code, have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust, or (b)&nbsp;the trust has made an election under the
applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person under the Code; or (5)&nbsp;a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. </FONT></P>

issue any senior debt securities pursuant to the Senior Debt Indenture, dated as of May&nbsp;21, 2009 between the Parent Company, as issuer, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the &#147;Senior Debt Indenture&#148;).
Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, we will issue any subordinated debt securities pursuant to a subordinated debt indenture (&#147;Subordinated Debt Indenture&#148;) to be entered into between the Parent Company, as
issuer, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The Senior Debt Indenture and the form of Subordinated Debt Indenture are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a
part. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Senior Debt Indenture and the Subordinated Debt Indenture are substantially similar except that (1)&nbsp;the
Subordinated Debt Indenture, unlike the Senior Debt Indenture, provides for debt securities that are specifically made junior in right of payment to other specified indebtedness of the Parent Company and (2)&nbsp;the Senior Debt Indenture, unlike
the Subordinated Debt Indenture, restricts the ability of the Parent Company to use the shares of its restricted subsidiaries to secure any indebtedness, unless an equal and ratable security interest in these subsidiary shares is granted to the
holders of the senior debt securities. Neither the Senior Debt Indenture nor the Subordinated Debt Indenture limits the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness that we may issue from time to time. </FONT></P>

&#147;senior&#148; is generally used to describe debt obligations that entitle the holders to receive payment of principal and interest upon the happening of certain events prior to the holders of &#147;subordinated&#148; debt. Events that can
trigger the right of holders of senior indebtedness to receive payment of principal and interest prior to payments to the holders of subordinated indebtedness include insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, receivership, reorganization or

policyholders and creditors, the value of the stock of the subsidiary would be diminished and perhaps rendered worthless. Any such diminution in the value of the shares of our subsidiaries would adversely impact our financial condition and possibly
impair our ability to meet our obligations on the debt securities. In addition, any liquidation of the assets of the Parent Company&#146;s subsidiaries (Aflac, in particular) to satisfy claims of the subsidiary&#146;s policyholders and creditors
might make it impossible for such subsidiary to pay dividends to us. Likewise, any inability of Aflac Japan to repatriate earnings to Aflac may also limit Aflac&#146;s ability to pay dividends to the Parent Company. This inability to pay dividends

obligations with respect to the debt securities of or within any series (except as otherwise provided in the relevant indenture) (&#147;defeasance&#148;) or (ii)&nbsp;to be released from our obligations with respect to certain covenants applicable
to the debt securities of or within any series (&#147;covenant defeasance&#148;), upon the deposit with the relevant trustee, in trust for such purpose, of money and/or government obligations which, through the payment of principal and interest in
accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient, without reinvestment, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and any mandatory sinking
fund or analogous payments thereon. As a condition to defeasance or covenant defeasance, we must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of such debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant
defeasance had not occurred. Such opinion of counsel, in the case of defeasance under clause (i)&nbsp;above, must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable federal income tax law occurring after
the date of the relevant indenture. In addition, in the case of either defeasance or covenant defeasance, we shall have delivered to the trustee (i)&nbsp;an officers&#146; certificate to the effect that the relevant debt securities exchange(s) have
informed us that neither such debt securities nor any other debt securities of the same series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will be delisted as a result of such deposit, and (ii)&nbsp;an officers&#146; certificate and an opinion of
counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

the indebtedness under the debt securities occurs by reason of another event of default, the value of the money and government obligations in the defeasance trust on the date of acceleration could be less than the principal and interest then due on
the affected securities because the required defeasance deposit is based upon scheduled cash flow rather than market value, which will vary depending upon interest rates and other factors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
