Aflac Incorporated Introduces New Long-Term Care Rider with Flexible Benefits Aflac Incorporated added a powerful new worksite benefit to its Group Life Term to 120 product. This hybrid term life with long-term care (LTC) product is the first of its kind to offer true protection against higher costs of caring for individuals as they age and will help protect the financial stability of American consumers. According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 6 people in the U.S. will be over the age of 60 by the year 2030. A significant issue facing Americans and their loved ones is their ability to access the best possible long-term care that addresses their needs as they age. Additionally, our aging society — a phenomenon known as the Silver Tsunami, representing the shift of baby boomers reaching retirement age — will also need to cover rising costs associated with LTC. With Aflac's new rider, the LTC benefit is built with unique flexibility, supporting a wide range of circumstances. Full LTC benefit eligibility is available regardless of the care setting or the caregiver, providing insureds with options. They have the freedom to choose either home-based care or facility-based care, as well as informal care from a family member or friend or a professional caregiver. This is valuable to many people who prefer to age in their own homes and receive care from someone they know personally. The customer can also take advantage of the benefits during his or her lifetime rather than being utilized following a death. Customers can rest easy knowing the rider includes: Optional extension of the LTC benefit period and restoration of the full-face amount of life insurance, even after it has been used to fund LTC; Optional inflation protection benefit; Annually accruing fund that grows the value of the LTC benefit over time and helps to offset LTC cost increases; Flexible benefits payment options, such as a one-time lump sum for catastrophic costs or periodic payments that better suit the needs of the customer; Portability, which means a customer can keep these benefits even after they leave employment. The Aflac Group Life Term to 120 with LTC helps insured individuals take advantage of a meaningful opportunity to feel secure in the years to come. This new long-term care rider can play an important role in offering meaningful financial protection and security at a time that can be difficult on many levels, from emotional to financial. Products and benefits vary by state and are not currently available in all states. Aflac Group products are underwritten by Continental American Insurance Company (CAIC). CAIC is not licensed to solicit business in New York, Guam or the Virgin Islands. For groups sitused in California, group coverage is underwritten by Continental American Life Insurance Company.

Aflac Incorporated Expands Support for Children with New Book 'Beyond Words' Aflac Incorporated released a new children's book highlighting the power of empathy, kindness and compassion for loved ones, especially children, facing health challenges. Award-winning author Fink introduces readers to Buddy, a bear cub who struggles to find the right words to comfort his friend, Bunny, who is in the hospital. As Buddy's imagination takes flight, readers follow his intergalactic space adventures with new friends who help him understand that sometimes it's not what you say, but what you do -- beyond words -- that matters most when someone is in need. "Beyond Words" is an extension of Aflac's longtime culture of care, inspired by My Special Aflac Duck®?, a robotic duck given free of charge to provide comfort to more than 40,000 children (ages 3 and up) with cancer and sickle cell disease across the U.S., Japan and Northern Ireland since 2018. The My Special Aflac Duck program is part of Aflac's philanthropic efforts through the Aflac childhood Cancer Foundation and a 30-plus year commitment to the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, with nearly $200 million in support. To write "Beyond Words," Fink drew on her experience as a No. 1 bestselling author of more than 15 children's books and her mission to inspire, delight and educate children. Through her work, Fink often gives back by visiting schools to speak to students about kindness and overcoming adversity -- and reading her books to patients at children's hospitals. Visit Aflac.com/BeyondWords for purchase options, including Archway Publishing, from Simon & Schuster, and Amazon.com. The hard cover book is $21.99, and soft cover is $12.99, with 100% of net proceeds benefiting childhood cancer and blood disorders research and treatment through the Aflac Childhood Cancer Foundation.

Aflac Incorporated Announces the Launch of Its Latest Individual Aflac Accident Insurance Product Aflac Incorporated announced the launch of its latest individual Aflac Accident Insurance product to help provide financial peace of mind when facing a covered accident. The new Aflac Accident Insurance plan provides policyholders with cash benefits after a covered accident, including health services such as ambulance, ER, urgent care, physical therapy, mental health therapy and more. The product is available in 32 states and provides a variety of coverage types that appeal to consumers in all life stages. A primary feature of the new product is how it nearly doubles coverage for follow-up care treatments, including broadening treatment care to include mental health benefits when an accident occurs. The enhancements also provide increased preventive care, designed to promote overall health and wellness. Besides the physical pain, the financial impact from treating accidents can be just as hurtful and costly. The 2025 Aflac WorkForces Report shows that 51% of American employees could not pay $1,000 out-of-pocket in the event of an unexpected illness or injury. Nearly 22% said they could not cover $500. Aflac's new Accident Insurance plan is designed to help consumers and their families become better prepared to address many of the everyday expenses that health insurance doesn't cover when an accident occurs. Key benefits include: Nearly doubled benefits -- Out-of-pocket expenses increase with the severity of an accident, so this new plan nearly doubles benefits related to post-accident medical care visits per covered accident based on policyholder need. In addition, the company became a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in 2021 and has been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index (2024) for 11 years.

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: €1.2m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 7.4% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risk Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (€1.2m sold). Reported Earnings • Feb 26
