Japan's Financial Services Agency Extends Deadline on Industrywide Claims Review
PRNewswire-FirstCall
COLUMBUS, Ga.

Aflac Incorporated announced today that its operation in Japan has received notification from Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) that the deadline for a five-year claims review already in progress has been extended.

As Aflac Incorporated had previously disclosed, Aflac Japan, along with other life insurance companies, had already initiated a voluntary review of the last five years of paid claims to assess the accuracy with which policyholders' claims have been paid. Aflac had planned on reporting its findings to the FSA on March 31, 2007. The recent notification from the FSA, which now includes a review of cash surrender value payments, changes this voluntary program to one that is mandatory and extends the filing deadline to April 13, 2007.

Aflac Chairman and CEO Dan Amos stated: "We are eager to comply with the request made by the FSA, and we have already made significant progress toward completing our claims review. As I have said repeatedly, Aflac is in the business of paying claims, not denying them. Paying claims promptly and fairly has always been, and continues to be, a fundamental element of our business. We look forward to the completion of this project to fully respond to the FSA's request."
