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

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/care,

generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of the notes by an initial holder of the notes that is a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> 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 purposes) for U.S.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;federal income tax law, such as broker-dealers, banks or other financial institutions, insurance companies,
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> entities (including private foundations) or qualified retirement plans, entities or arrangements that are treated as partnerships for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes and their partners,
dealers in securities or currencies, certain U.S.&nbsp;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, persons
that hold the notes as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated transaction for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes, and accrual method taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of their use of
financial statements under Section&nbsp;451(b) of the Code. Furthermore, this discussion does not address any other U.S.&nbsp;federal tax consequences (e.g., estate or gift tax) or any state, local or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT>
tax laws. This discussion is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the notes. <B>Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the
U.S.</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;federal, state, local and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> income and other tax consequences applicable to them in their particular circumstances.</B> </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For purposes of this discussion, the term <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;non-U.S.</FONT> holder&#148; means a beneficial owner of a
note that, for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes, is not (1)&nbsp;a citizen or individual resident of the United States; (2)&nbsp;a corporation or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes that is created
in, or organized under the laws of, the United States, any state thereof, any political subdivision thereof, or the District of Columbia; (3)&nbsp;an estate the income of which is subject to U.S.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;person under the Code; or (5)&nbsp;a partnership or other entity or arrangement
treated as a partnership for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a partnership (including any entity or arrangement treated as a
partnership for U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax purposes) beneficially owns the notes, the U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the
partnership. Partners and partnerships are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the particular U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax consequences applicable to them. </P>

initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement. Any notes sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial public offering price of up
to&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of the principal amount of the notes. Any such securities dealers may resell any notes purchased from the underwriters to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount from the initial public offering price of up
to&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of the principal amount of the notes. If all the notes are not sold at the initial offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling terms. The offering of the notes by the
underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters&#146; right to reject any order in whole or in part. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market, and we do not intend to list the notes on any securities exchange
or for quotation in any automated dealer quotations system. We have been advised by the underwriters that the underwriters intend to make a market in the notes but are not obligated to do so and may discontinue market making at any time without
notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the offering of the notes,
the underwriters may purchase and sell notes in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a
greater principal amount of notes than they are required to purchase in the offering of the notes. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the
notes while the offering of the notes is in progress. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular
underwriter repays to the other underwriter a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the other underwriter has repurchased notes sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the notes. As a result, the price of the
notes may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected in the

banking and investment banking services for the Company and for persons and entities with relationships with the Company, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. Affiliates of a number of underwriters are lenders or

and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve or relate to assets, securities and/or instruments of the Company (directly, as collateral securing other obligations or otherwise) and/or persons and

2020. If any of the underwriters or their affiliates have a lending relationship with us, certain of those underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent
with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions
in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also
make investment recommendations, communicate market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such assets, securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire,
long and/or short positions in such assets, securities and instruments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Canada </B></P>

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. We desire to take advantage of these provisions. This prospectus or documents filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference herein contain cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected herein, and in any other statements made by our officials in communications with the financial community and contained in documents filed with the 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

&#147;assumes,&#148; &#147;potential,&#148; &#147;target,&#148; &#147;outlook&#148; or similar words as well as specific projections of future results, generally qualify as forward-looking. We undertake no obligation to update such forward-looking
statements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We caution readers that the following factors, in addition to other factors mentioned from time to time, could cause actual results to differ

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Parent Company, Aflac Incorporated, 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 subsidiaries in the United States and Japan. Most of Aflac&#146;s policies are individually underwritten and marketed through independent agents. Aflac U.S.&nbsp;markets and administers group products through Continental
American Insurance Company, branded as Aflac Group Insurance. Our insurance operations in the United States and Japan service the two markets for our insurance business. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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

may issue our debt securities, consisting of notes, debentures or other indebtedness, from time to time in one or more series. We will 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;). We will issue any subordinated debt securities pursuant to the Subordinated Indenture, dated as of September&nbsp;26,
2012 entered into between the Parent Company, as issuer, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the &#147;Subordinated Debt Indenture&#148;). The Senior Debt Indenture and the Subordinated Debt Indenture are incorporated by
reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following description provides a general summary of the material terms and conditions of the Senior Debt Indenture, the Subordinated Debt
Indenture and the debt securities to be issued pursuant to these indentures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following discussion is only a summary. The indentures may contain
language that expands upon or limits the statements made in this prospectus. Accordingly, we strongly encourage you to refer to the indentures, as well as any applicable prospectus supplements for any debt securities offered, for a complete
understanding of the terms and conditions applicable to the indentures and the debt securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Senior and Subordinated Debt Securities </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The debt securities will be our unsecured senior or subordinated obligations. The term &#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 an event of default under the Senior Debt Indenture. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue the senior debt securities, pursuant to the Senior Debt Indenture, in one or more series. All series of senior debt securities issued under the
Senior Debt Indenture will be equal in ranking. The senior debt securities also will rank equally with all our other unsecured indebtedness, other than unsecured indebtedness expressly designated by the holders thereof to be subordinate to our
senior debt securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The senior indebtedness issued pursuant to the Senior Debt Indenture will rank junior and be subordinate to any indebtedness of
our subsidiaries. In the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, receivership, 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 our 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 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 </P>

to satisfy claims of the subsidiary&#146;s policyholders and creditors might limit or make it impossible for such subsidiary to pay dividends to us. Any such limitation or inability to pay
