DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS |
AFLAC Incorporated is providing its press release dated November 15, 2004 announcing the promotion of Mr. Akitoshi Kan to Chairman of AFLAC International and the appointment of Mr. Paul S. Amos II to Executive Vice President, AFLAC U.S. Operations, herein as Exhibit 99.1. These changes will be effective January 1, 2005.
Mr. Kan, 56, has been Executive Vice President, Internal Operations, AFLAC, since January 2000; Deputy Chief Financial Officer, AFLAC Incorporated from April 1999 until September 2000; Executive Vice President, AFLAC International until December 1999. Mr. Kan has a current employment agreement for his current position. An employment agreement for his new position has not been finalized.
Mr. Amos, 29, has been employed by AFLAC as State Sales Coordinator of Georgia North since November 2002. In 2004, $233,585 was paid by AFLAC to Mr. Amos. This amount was earned as renewal and first-year commissions before expenses. State Sales Coordinators are not salaried employees but are compensated on a commission basis and are required to pay their own expenses, including travel, office expenses, incentives for District and Regional Sales Coordinators and Associates in their states, and recruiting and training costs. The compensation arrangement with Mr. Amos was similar, when contracted, to that of other State Sales Coordinators.
Prior to joining AFLAC as a State Sales Coordinator, Mr. Amos earned a juris doctorate from Tulane University. Mr. Amos is the son of Daniel P. Amos, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AFLAC Incorporated. His employment agreement has not been finalized.
