                               PROXY STATEMENT

                      FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
                       TO BE HELD MONDAY, MAY 7, 2001


                     SOLICITATION AND REVOCATION OF PROXY

     This Proxy Statement is furnished to shareholders in connection with
the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of AFLAC Incorporated
(the "Company") for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on
Monday, May 7, 2001, and any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth
in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and described
in detail herein.  The meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m. at the Columbus
Museum (in the Patrick Theatre), 1251 Wynnton Road, Columbus, Georgia.

     All properly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the
instructions contained thereon, and if no choice is specified, the proxies
will be voted FOR the election of all nominees named elsewhere in this Proxy
Statement and FOR approval of each other proposal set forth in the Notice of
Meeting.  Shareholders of record may also submit their proxies via the
Internet or by telephone in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
enclosed proxy.  Any proxy may be revoked by the shareholder at any time
before it is exercised by giving written notice to that effect to the
Secretary of the Company or by submission of a later-dated proxy or
subsequent Internet or telephonic proxy.  Shareholders who attend the
meeting may revoke any proxy previously granted and vote in person.

     This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are being mailed to the
shareholders on or about March 19, 2001.

                              SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

     The Company will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. The Company will
make arrangements with brokerage firms, custodians and other fiduciaries to
send proxy materials to their principals, by mail and by means of electronic
transmission, and the Company will reimburse them for  mailing and related
expenses. In addition to solicitation by mail and electronic transmission,
certain officers and other employees of the Company, who will receive no
compensation for their services other than their regular compensation, may
solicit proxies by telephone and by personal contacts. In addition, the
Company has retained Corporate Investor Communications, Inc. to assist in
the solicitation of proxies for a fee of $8,500, plus reimbursement of
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

                           DESCRIPTION OF VOTING RIGHTS

     In accordance with the Company's Articles of Incorporation, shares of
the Company's Common Stock, par value $.10 per share (the "Common Stock"),
are entitled to one vote per share until they have been held by the same
beneficial owner for a continuous period of greater than 48 months prior to
the record date of the meeting, at which time they become entitled to 10
votes per share. Any transferee of a share of Common Stock where such share
was transferred to the transferee by gift, devise or bequest, or otherwise
through the laws of inheritance, descent or distribution from the estate of
                                    2

the transferor, or by distribution to a beneficiary of shares held in trust
for such beneficiary, is deemed to be the same beneficial owner as the
transferor. Shares acquired as a direct result of a stock split, stock
dividend or other distribution with respect to existing shares ("dividend
shares") are deemed to have been acquired and held continuously from the
date on which the shares with regard to which the issued dividend shares
were acquired. Shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a
stock option are deemed to have been acquired on the date the option was
granted.

     Shares of Common Stock held in "street" or "nominee" name are presumed
to have been held for less than 48 months and are entitled to one vote per
share unless this presumption is rebutted by providing evidence to the
contrary to the Board of Directors of the Company. Shareholders desiring to
rebut this presumption should complete and execute the affidavit appearing
on the reverse side of their proxy. The Board of Directors reserves the
right to require evidence to support the affidavit.


               VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF


     Holders of record of Common Stock at the close of business on March 1,
2001, will be entitled to vote at the meeting. At that date, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote was 264,175,327.
According to the Company's records, this represents the following voting
rights:

     219,513,294    Shares @     1 Vote Per Share  =  219,513,294 Votes
      44,662,033    Shares @    10 Votes Per Share =  446,620,330 Votes
     -----------                                      -----------
     264,175,327    Shares                   Total    666,133,624 Votes


     Shareholders with one vote per share shown above can rebut the
presumption that they are entitled to only one vote as outlined in
"Description of Voting Rights" above. If all of the outstanding shares were
entitled to 10 votes per share, the total votes available would be
2,641,753,270. However, for the purposes of this Proxy Statement, it is
assumed that the total votes available to be cast at the meeting will be
666,133,624.

     The holders of a majority of the voting rights entitled to vote at the
meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of such business as shall come before the
meeting. Directors are elected by an affirmative vote of a plurality of
voting rights cast. In the case of the election of directors, under
applicable Georgia law, in tabulating the vote, votes withheld will be
disregarded and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.  Approval of
all other matters to be considered at the meeting requires the affirmative
vote of holders of a majority of the voting rights present in person or
represented by proxy at the meeting.  Broker-non-votes and abstentions are
counted as "shares present" at the meeting in determining whether a quorum
exists.  Broker-non-votes, if any, have the effect of votes to withhold
authority in connection with the election of directors while broker-non-
votes, if any, and abstentions have the effect of votes against other
proposals at the meeting.

                                    3

     No person, as of March 1, 2001, was the owner of record or, to the
knowledge of the Company, beneficially owned 5% or more of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock or of the available votes of the Company other than
as shown below:

     (*)This information is derived from Schedule 13G, dated February 13,
2001, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by FMR Corp.
According to the Schedule 13G, FMR Corp. may be deemed to be controlled by
Edward C. Johnson III and Abigail P. Johnson and family members, and
includes shares beneficially owned by various subsidiaries of FMR Corp.

     (**)See footnote 3, page 8.


     On February 13, 2001, the Company declared a two-for-one stock split to
be distributed on March 16, 2001, to shareholders of record at the close of
business on February 27, 2001.  Because such distribution is subsequent to
the record date for the meeting, all share information in this Proxy
Statement is presented on a pre-split basis.

                           1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     The Company proposes that the following eighteen individuals be elected
to the Board of Directors of the Company. The persons named in the following
table have been nominated by the Nominating Committee of the Board of
Directors for election as Directors and, if elected, are willing to serve as
such until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their
successors have been elected and qualified. It is intended that the persons
named in the accompanying proxy, or their substitutes, will vote for the
election of these nominees (unless specifically instructed to the contrary).
However, if any nominee at the time of the election is unable or unwilling
to serve or is otherwise unavailable for election, and in consequence
another nominee is designated, the persons named in the proxy, or their
substitutes, will have discretionary authority to vote or refrain from
voting in accordance with their judgment on such other nominees. The Board
of Directors has no reason to believe that any of the persons nominated will
be unable or unwilling to serve.

          THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE ELECTION
               OF EACH OF THE BELOW-LISTED NOMINEES AS DIRECTORS.

                                    4



The following information is provided with respect to the nominees:

               SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, as amended, executive
officers, directors and holders of more than 10% of the Common Stock are
required to file reports of their trading in Company equity securities with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received by
the Company, or written representations from certain reporting persons that
no reports on Form 5 were required for those persons, the Company believes
that during the last fiscal year all Section 16 filing requirements
applicable to its reporting persons were complied with, except as set forth
below:

     Mr. M. Delmar Edwards failed to file on a timely basis one Form 4
relating to one transaction in the Company's stock.

           BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION

     During 2000, the Board of Directors met six times, and all Directors
attended more than 75% of the meetings of the Board and of the Board
Committees on which they served except Mr. Michael J. Armacost and M. Delmar
Edwards, M.D.

                           THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

     The Audit Committee, which met five times during 2000, is charged with
the duties of assuring that proper guidelines are established for the
dissemination of financial information; meeting periodically with, and
reviewing recommendations of, the Company's independent and internal
auditors; meeting periodically with management with respect to the Company's
system of internal controls and accounting systems used by the Company;
determining that no restrictions are placed on the scope of the examination
of the financial statements by the independent auditors; reviewing
consolidated financial statements; and performing any other duties or
functions deemed appropriate by the Board.  The Committee also recommends to
the Board of Directors the appointment of the Company's principal
independent auditors.  At least annually, the Committee reviews the services
performed and the fees charged by the independent auditors.

     The independent auditors have direct access to the Audit Committee and
may discuss any matters that arise in connection with their audits, the
maintenance of internal controls and any other matters relating to the
Company's financial affairs.  The Committee may authorize the independent
auditors to investigate any matters that the Committee deems appropriate and
may present its recommendations and conclusions to the Board.

                          Audit Committee Report

     The Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors is composed of
three directors, each of whom is independent as defined by New York Stock
Exchange listing standards.  The Audit Committee operates under a written
charter adopted by the Board of Directors.  A copy of the charter is
attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A.

     Management has the primary responsibility for the Company's financial
statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal
controls.  The independent auditors are responsible for performing an
independent audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States
and to issue a report thereon.  The Audit Committee has general oversight
responsibility to monitor and oversee these processes.

     In connection with these responsibilities, the Audit Committee has met
with management and the independent auditors to review and discuss the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2000.  The Audit committee has also discussed with the
independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on
Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). The Audit
Committee has also received written disclosures and the letter from the
independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. l
(Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Audit Committee
has discussed with the independent auditors the independent auditor's
independence.

                                    11

     Based upon the Audit Committee's discussions with management and the
independent auditors, as set forth above, and the Audit Committee's review
of the representations of management and the independent auditors, the Audit
Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited
consolidated financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, for filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

                               AUDIT COMMITTEE

                            J. Kyle Spencer, Chairman
                               Marvin R. Schuster

                          THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE

     The Nominating Committee met once during 2000 to recommend nominees for
election as Directors at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  The members of
the Nominating Committee are Mr. Kenneth S. Janke, Sr., Dr. Barbara K.
Rimer, and Mr. Daniel P. Amos.  The Committee will consider, as potential
nominees, persons recommended by shareholders in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the Company's Bylaws.  The Company's Bylaws provide
that a shareholder nominating persons for election to the Board, in general,
must give notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Company not less
than 60 nor more than 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the
immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however,
that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not
within 30 days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the
shareholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of
business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the date
of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made,
whichever first occurs.

                           DIRECTORS COMPENSATION

     Each Director of the Company receives $20,000 annually for service as
such.  A Director serving on one or more committees who is not an officer of
the Company receives an additional $7,200 annually for that service ($2,400
if an officer).  Each Director also receives $2,000 for attendance at each
meeting of the Board of Directors.  In addition, the chairmen of the
Compensation and Audit Committees receive annually $10,000 and $12,000,
respectively.

     During 2000, Mr. Henry C. Schwob received $48,237 for providing
consulting services to AFLAC's Investment Committee.

     Directors who are not also employees of the Company or its subsidiaries
have been granted non-qualified stock options pursuant to the Amended 1985
Stock Option Plan (the "1985 Plan") and the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the
"1997 Plan").  The exercise price for the options is the fair market value
of the Common Stock on the date of grant.  Pursuant to amendments to the
1985 Plan approved by shareholders at the 1994 annual meeting, each new non-
employee director, including any advisory director, was granted an option to
purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock as of the earlier of the date such
individual was appointed to the Board or the date of the first annual
meeting of shareholders at which such Director was elected to the Board.  In
addition to grants from the 1985 Plan, the 1997 Plan, approved by
shareholders at the 1997 annual meeting, provides for two automatic grants
                                    12

of 10,000 shares each as of August 1, 1997, and August 1, 2002, as well as
the first-time grant to newly appointed or elected non-employee directors.
Options granted to each non-employee director will become exercisable in
cumulative installments of 20% of the shares of Common Stock covered thereby
as of the date of the grant, and an additional 20% as of each of the next
four anniversaries of the date of the option grant to the extent the non-
employee director continues to be a director as of that date, provided,
however, that upon cessation of service by reason of retirement, a non-
employee director will become immediately vested in all outstanding options
that have not yet expired. The exercise price of all shares of Common Stock
subject to options granted to non-employee directors will be 100% of the
fair market value of such shares as of the date of grant.

     The Company maintains a retirement plan for non-employee directors who
have attained age 55 and completed at least five years of service as a non-
employee director. The annual benefit paid to a non-employee director upon
retirement (or to his or her spouse in the event of death prior to
retirement or prior to completion of payments under the plan) is equal to
the director's compensation in the twelve months preceding retirement,
including retainer and regular Board member fees, but excluding committee
fees, paid for a period of time equal to the number of completed years
served as a non-employee director.


                      COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

     This report on the compensation policies, components and decisions of
the Company for 2000 with respect to the Company's executive officers is
presented by the Compensation Committee of the Company, consisting of
Governor Joe Frank Harris, Chairman of the Compensation Committee, Mr. Glenn
Vaughn, Jr., Dr. M. Delmar Edwards, and until May 1, 2000, Mr. Robert L.
Wright.  All such members of the Compensation Committee are outside
Directors as defined by Section 162(m) ("Section 162(m)") of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the "Code").  The function of the
Compensation Committee is to approve current compensation arrangements for
executive officers of the Company who are also members of the Board of
Directors, including among the Named Executive Officers, Messrs. Daniel P.
Amos, Paul S. Amos, Yoshiki Otake, and Kriss Cloninger, III.  The
Compensation Committee determines all aspects of compensation for executive
officers who are members of the Board with respect to stock options, and
under the Company's Management Incentive Plan with respect to all executive
officers (as defined therein and including the Named Executive Officers
other than Mr. Joseph P. Kuechenmeister, who does not participate in that
plan).  Other compensation decisions for executive officers are made by the
Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Daniel P. Amos.  The Compensation Committee met
a total of five times over the past fiscal year.

                        Compensation Policies and Goals

     The Company's goal is to retain, motivate and reward management of the
Company through its compensation policies and awards, while aligning their
interests more closely with those of the Company and its shareholders.  With
respect to the retention of management, the Company seeks to attract and
retain the highest caliber of management by offering, in addition to other
intangible non-monetary benefits, total compensation that is comparable to
that offered by its competitors.  The Company believes that it is also
important to provide compensation components that accrue to the benefit of,
and provide security to, its management over the long term, such as pension
                                    13

benefits, to promote the retention of management.  To align the interest of
management more closely with that of the Company and to motivate and reward
individual initiative and effort, the Company seeks to promote performance-
based compensation so that contribution to the Company as a whole, as well
as the attainment of individual performance goals, is rewarded.  Through the
use of performance-based plans that reward attainment of division or Company
goals, the Company seeks to foster an attitude of teamwork, and the use of
tools like equity ownership is important to ensure that the efforts of
management are consistent with the objectives of shareholders.  Through the
use of stock options, the Company seeks to promote increased equity
ownership by management in the Company.

                         Compensation Components

     At present, the compensation of the executive officers of the Company
consists of a combination of salary, incentive bonuses, stock options,
contributions to or accruals for benefit plans, and participation in various
other plans, such as the Company's 401(k) plan, as well as medical and other
personal benefits typically offered to executives at large corporations.

     Salaries.  In 2000, salaries for executive officers generally were
increased at an average rate of 5% to reflect both a cost-of-living increase
and to recognize the Company's favorable performance in fiscal 1999 (as
described below).  With respect to Mr. Daniel P. Amos, no change in salary
was made, despite the findings of a 2000 report (the "Consultant Report")
prepared for purposes of compensation evaluation by an independent
compensation consultant (the "Consultant") as to the favorable comparative
performance of the Company.  The Consultant had been retained by the
Compensation Committee to evaluate the total compensation of the Company's
top five compensated executives, to critique the Company's executive
compensation program in relation to data from other companies and to
identify trends in executive compensation.  The Consultant Report compared
the Company with a peer group of 13 generally successful industry-related
companies of relative size (generally one-third to 2.5 times the Company's
revenue size) in the areas of asset and revenue size, net income, premium
income, earnings per share, return on average equity, return on average
assets and three-year total shareholder return, and found that the Company's
performance significantly exceeded that of the peer group on virtually all
bottom line and return measures, ranking the Company third in composite
performance (and first if the effect of the yen/dollar currency exchange
rate were excluded).  The comparator insurance companies were identified to
the Compensation Committee by the Consultant as appropriate comparators to
the Company from a business standpoint and for executive talent.  The peer
group included members of the S&P Life Insurance Index, which is one of the
indices used in the Company's "Stock Performance Graph" (see page 20), but
also includes a broader group of companies including those historically
viewed by the Company as its most direct competitors.

     Despite the Company's superior comparative performance, in light of
limits on tax deductibility for executive compensation under Section 162(m)
and the desire to emphasize stock compensation in lieu of cash compensation,
the Compensation Committee determined that a salary increase for Mr. Daniel
P. Amos at this time was not appropriate.  Instead, the decision was made to
maintain Mr. Daniel P. Amos' salary and to increase the emphasis on long-
term equity compensation in his overall compensation through the use of a
stock option grant (described below) as additional compensation.  In 2000
the salary for Mr. Paul S. Amos was increased by 5% based on the Company's
comparative superior performance in 1999 and the desire to adequately
                                    14

compensate him for his value to the Company.  Given that Mr. Paul S. Amos is
approaching retirement age, the Compensation Committee determined that a
salary increase in his case was appropriate, despite the deductibility
considerations of Section 162(m), rather than an option grant or the use of
other long-term compensation.

     Bonuses.  Under the Company's Management Incentive Plan for 2000,
target cash bonuses in an amount equal to 15% to 120% of salary, with
respect to the Company and its subsidiaries' executive officers generally,
and with respect to Messrs. Daniel P. Amos and Paul S. Amos, pursuant to
their employment agreements, are paid on the basis of the attainment of
target annual performance goals for the Company and, generally speaking,
personal goals.  None of the Named Executive Officers, however, have
personal goals.  In the event that specified performance goals are achieved,
Messrs. Daniel P. Amos and Paul S. Amos, may earn up to 180% (140%, and 76%,
respectively, for Messrs. Kriss Cloninger, III and Yoshiki Otake) of salary
as a cash bonus.  The establishment of the percentage of salary that such
bonus may constitute upon the attainment of target goals for Messrs. Daniel
P. Amos, Paul S. Amos, Kriss Cloninger, III, and Yoshiki Otake, was based on
the recognition by the Compensation Committee that the bonus goals are set
very aggressively, that such performance-based compensation should account
for a substantial proportion of the total compensation for these top two
executives of the Company, and with respect to Mr. Daniel P. Amos, the
limitations on his salary under Section 162(m) which have resulted in an
increase in the proportion of his compensation based on performance of the
Company.

     The performance goals are established on the basis of recommendations
by management, and the awards, if attained, are paid in the following year.
With respect to 2000, the Compensation Committee established Company
performance goals for executive officers, including the CEO, based on, among
other things, operating earnings per share (excluding effects of currency
fluctuations), premium income, increases in new sales, operating expense
controls, pretax operating earnings, and, in the case of most executive
officers other than the Named Executive Officers, personal goals.  (In
connection with compliance with Section 162(m), the Compensation Committee
deemed it appropriate that the bonus components of the Named Executive
Officers were based on objective Company performance goals rather than more
subjective personal goals.)  With respect to Messrs. Daniel P. Amos and Paul
S. Amos, 50% of the target award was attributed to the earnings-per-share
goal, while the other Company performance goals accounted for 50% of the
total possible award in 5% to 10% increments.  With respect to Mr. Kriss
Cloninger, III, 53% of his target award is attributed to the earnings per
share goal while other Company performance goals account for the remainder
of his total possible award in varying increments.  With respect to Mr.
Yoshiki Otake, 10% of his target award is attributed to the earnings per
share goal while other Company performance goals account for the remainder
of his total possible award in varying increments.  With respect to each
Company performance goal, a minimum, target and maximum performance level is
specified, the attainment of which determines the amount paid with respect
to each performance goal, except for the earnings-per share goal, under
which benefits are paid at one specified level but only if target
performance is attained or exceeded.  The bonus percentage is increased
subject to a specified maximum percentage, or decreased to the extent the
Company performance levels vary from target levels.  Payment on attainment
of any particular performance goal may occur independently of (i.e., is not
contingent upon) attainment of any other performance goal.  For the year

                                    15

ended December 31, 2000, all of the Named Executive Officers achieved bonus
levels over the target bonus levels but below maximum bonus levels,
reflecting the fact that Company performance levels generally exceeded
target levels.

     Other Benefits and Actions.  The Company maintains (i) its 1985 and
1997 Plans pursuant to which officers and other employees are or have been
granted options to purchase Company stock; (ii) its Retirement Plan for
senior officers (the "Retirement Plan"), which provides lifetime retirement
and medical benefits to plan participants; (iii) its Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan, a non-qualified contributory benefit plan for officers
and (iv) its Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP") for certain
key executives of the Company and certain subsidiaries who do not
participate in the Retirement Plan, which provides for certain pension
benefits in the event of termination (other than for cause), upon death, at
or after age 55 or in certain change-in-control situations.  Certain Named
Executive Officers are participants in the Retirement Plan or in the SERP,
but not both.  The executive officers of the Company may also participate in
the Company's nondiscriminatory 401(k) plan and a noncontributory defined
benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees.

     In its evaluation of executive compensation, the Consultant Report
found that, despite the Company's superior performance compared to the
comparison group, total direct compensation for the Company's five highest
paid executives is generally below the median for total compensation for the
peer companies, primarily due to the Company's conservative use of long-term
incentives.  As defined by the Consultant, total compensation includes total
cash compensation plus the annualized value of long-term incentives.  To
address this conclusion and on the recommendation of the Consultants Report,
in 2000, the Compensation Committee approved option grants exercisable for a
total of 736,000 shares of Common Stock under the 1997 Plan to officers of
the Company, including a grant of options to Mr. Daniel P. Amos exercisable
for 380,000 shares in each case at fair market value on the date of grant.
As noted above, the award to Mr. Amos reflects the Compensation Committee's
decision to shift a greater portion of his compensation to long-term stock-
based compensation and as well as (a) the Company's comparative superior
performance in 1999, (b) the Compensation Committee's decision not to
increase Mr. Daniel P. Amos' salary in 2000, (c) the fact that compensation
in the form of stock options contains a higher level of risk to the
executive (compared to a cash salary increase), (d) the Consultant Report
finding that the total direct compensation levels for Mr. Amos should be at
or above the 75% percentile for compensation for peer companies, in keeping
with the Company's performance success and (e) Mr. Daniel P. Amos' option
exercises over the past year, and the desire to maintain Mr. Daniel P. Amos'
equity position in the Company (given that the Company does not provide for
an automatic reload of options upon exercise).

     Mr. Kriss Cloninger, III received a grant exercisable for 100,000
shares and Mr. Joseph P. Kuechenmeister received a grant exercisable for
30,000 shares.  In each case, options were exercisable for an amount equal
to fair market value on the date of grant.

     The Compensation Committee believes that the executive compensation
policies serve the best interests of the shareholders and the Company.  The
bonus and stock option components of compensation for Company executives are
intended to be directly related to and commensurate with Company
performance.

                                    16

     In connection with making decisions on executive compensation, the
Compensation Committee will take into account, as one of the factors which
it considers, the provisions of Section 162(m), which limits the
deductibility by the Company of certain categories of compensation in excess
of $1,000,000 paid to certain executive officers.  The Compensation
Committee may determine (and, as described above, has determined), to
authorize compensation arrangements that exceed the $1,000,000 deductibility
cap imposed by Section 162(m).  In this connection, the 1985 Plan, the 1997
Plan and the Management Incentive Plan presently conform to the requirements
of Section 162(m) so that stock option grants and Management Incentive Plan
awards are performance-based and not subject to the deduction limitation
contained in Section 162(m).

                     RETIREMENT PLANS FOR KEY EXECUTIVES

     Participants in the Retirement Plan receive full compensation for the
first 12 months after retirement. Thereafter, the participants may elect to
receive annual lifetime retirement benefits equal to 60% of their final
compensation, or 54% of such compensation with 1/2 of such amount to be paid
to their spouses for a specified period after death of the participant.
Final compensation is deemed to be the higher of (i) the compensation paid
during the last 12 months of active employment with the Company, or (ii) the
highest compensation received in any calendar year of the last three years
preceding the date of retirement. Compensation under this plan is defined to
be base salary plus bonus. All benefits are subject to annual cost-of-living
increases as the Compensation Committee may approve. Retired participants
and their spouses are also entitled to receive full medical expense benefits
for their lifetimes. The benefits payable under the plan are not subject to
Social Security or defined benefit pension plan offsets.

     Generally, no benefits are payable until the participant accumulates 10
years credited service at age 60 or 20 years credited service. Reduced
benefits may be paid to a participant who retires (other than for
disability) before age 65 with less than 20 years credited service.

     Mr. Daniel P. Amos and Mr. Paul S. Amos are covered by this plan. AFLAC
has entered into a similar agreement with Mr. Yoshiki Otake. Mr. Daniel P.
Amos, Mr. Paul S. Amos and Mr. Yoshiki Otake have 27, 46 and 26 years,
respectively, of credited service.

     The Company maintains the SERP for certain key executives of the
Company and its subsidiaries who do not participate in the Retirement Plan.
Participation in the SERP is limited to key employees of the Company (and
its subsidiaries) designated by the Board of Directors of the Company from
time to time.  Participants generally must be employed with the Company or a
subsidiary at age 55, and with respect to participants who began
participating in the SERP after August 11, 1992, must also complete at least
15 years of employment with the Company or a subsidiary and participate in
the SERP for at least 5 years to be eligible to receive benefits under the
SERP.  In the case of certain participants who terminate employment before
age 55 but who continue to provide services to the Company pursuant to a
consulting agreement, the Chief Executive Officer may, in his or her
discretion, cause service during such consulting period to be credited for
benefits eligibility (but not benefit accrual) purposes.  The SERP includes
                                    21

a three-tiered benefit formula that provides for a 40% benefit upon
retirement between the ages of 55 to 59, a 50% benefit upon retirement
between the ages 60 to 64, and a 60% benefit upon retirement for ages 65 and
over.  The benefit formula computes benefits using the average of annual
compensation for the three consecutive calendar years out of the final ten
consecutive calendar years of employment that yields the highest average.
Average compensation is calculated using "Annual Compensation," which is
defined to include both base salary and bonuses for a calendar year.  Under
the terms of the plan, all benefit calculations are subject to offset for
amounts paid under the Company's defined benefit pension plan.

     Benefits are generally payable in the form of an annuity for the life
of the participant.  However, a participant may elect a joint and survivor
annuity pursuant to which he or she will receive reduced benefits during his
or her lifetime and, after his or her death, his or her surviving spouse
will receive a monthly benefit equal to 50% of the amount that had been paid
to the participant. No benefits are payable to a participant whose
employment is terminated before age 55 except for certain terminations
following a "change in control." If a participant dies after age 55 but
before benefits are paid under the plan, his or her spouse will receive a
death benefit equal to 50% of the benefits that the participant would have
been entitled to receive had he or she retired on the day preceding the date
of his or her death. If a participant's employment is terminated for
"cause," he or she immediately forfeits all rights and entitlements under
the plan. The benefits payable under the plan are not subject to Social
Security offset; benefits are subject to offset for amounts paid under the
Company's defined benefit pension plan. See "Employment Agreements and
Termination of Employment Arrangements" for additional information regarding
the SERP.

     Mr. Kriss Cloninger, III participates in the SERP. The estimated annual
benefit payable upon a retirement age of 55 for Mr. Cloninger is $389,817.

                         DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN

     The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all U.S. employees who satisfy the eligibility requirements.
Benefits are calculated in accordance with the following formula: l% of
average monthly compensation times years of credited service not in excess
of 25 years, plus .5% of average monthly compensation times years of
credited service in excess of 25 years. Participants are eligible to receive
normal retirement benefits upon attaining their normal retirement age of 65.
Participants with 15 years of credited service are eligible to receive
reduced normal retirement benefits upon reaching their early retirement age
of 55.  A participant can be eligible for full normal retirement benefits
when the participant's years of credited service plus attained age equals or
exceeds 80. For purposes of the plan, average monthly compensation is deemed
to be the participant's highest average compensation during any five
consecutive years of service within the 10 consecutive plan years of service
immediately preceding retirement.  Compensation generally means salaries and
annual incentive bonuses.  The benefits payable under the plan as amended
are not subject to adjustment for Social Security benefits or other offsets.
The benefits payable under the plan may be paid monthly over the life of the
participant (with joint and survivor options available at reduced rates).
The maximum retirement benefit is limited in accordance with section 415 of
the Code to $135,000 for 2000. The maximum compensation that may be taken
into account in the calculation of retirement benefits is limited in
accordance with section 401(a) (17) of the Code to $170,000 for 2000.  These
                                    22

limitation amounts for future years will be indexed for cost-of-living
adjustments, but only increase when a new $5,000 increment ($10,000, in the
case of Section 401(a)(17)) is reached. The following table reflects annual
benefits as determined by the above formula.

     Mr. Daniel P. Amos, Mr. Joseph P. Kuechenmeister and Mr. Kriss

     Mr. Otake has waived his rights to participate in the Company's
retirement or pension plans.  See "Employment Agreements and Termination of
Employment Arrangements."


      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

     On August 1, 1993, the Company entered into an employment agreement
with Mr. Daniel P. Amos which provided for a three-year term commencing
August 1, 1993, with automatic extensions of one-year periods to the term of
the agreement occurring on an annual basis beginning August 1, 1994, unless
written notice of termination is given prior to such annual extensions.
Pursuant to the agreement as currently in effect, Mr. Amos is entitled to
receive an annual base salary of $995,000.

     The agreement provides that Mr. Amos (referred to hereafter as the
"Executive") will continue to participate in the Management Incentive Plan,
the Retirement Plan and the 1997 Plan, and will participate in all other
fringe benefit plans applicable to employees generally or provided to senior
executives of the Company. The Executive may receive other benefits as
determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee.

     Pursuant to the agreement, the Company remains obligated to continue
compensation and benefits to the Executive for the scheduled term of the
agreement if the employment of the Executive is terminated by the Company
without "good cause." If the Executive's employment is terminated by the
Company for "good cause," or by the Executive without "good reason," the
Company is generally obligated to pay compensation and benefits only to the
date of termination (except that the Executive is entitled to benefits under
the Retirement Plan if the termination is not for "good cause"). "Good
cause" generally means (i) the willful failure by the Executive to
substantially perform his management duties for more than 60 days, (ii)
intentional conduct by the Executive causing substantial injury to the
                                    23

Company, or (iii) the conviction or plea of guilty by the Executive of a
felony crime involving moral turpitude. "Good reason" is defined to include
a breach of the agreement, a diminution or change in the Executive's title,
duties or authority, or a relocation of the Company's principal offices.
Upon voluntary termination without "good reason" or termination by the
Company for "good cause," the Executive is prohibited for a two-year period
from directly or indirectly competing with the Company.

     The agreement provides that compensation and benefits continue for
certain specified periods in the event that the Executive becomes totally
disabled. Upon the death of the Executive, his estate is to be paid an
amount, payable over a three-year period, equal to the Executive's base
salary and any bonus actually paid during the last three years of his life.

     Upon a "change in control" of the Company, the agreement is extended
for an additional three-year period. If, following a change in control, the
Executive's employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without
"good cause," or by the Executive for "good reason," the Company must pay to
the Executive, among other payments but in lieu of any further salary
payments subsequent to the date of termination, a lump-sum severance payment
equal to three times the sum of the Executive's base salary and bonus under
the Management Incentive Plan (as paid during periods specified in the
agreement).

     A "change in control" is generally deemed to occur when: (i) a person
or group acquires beneficial ownership of 30% or more of the Common Stock;
(ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the
beginning of such period constitute the Board cease for any reason to
constitute a majority of the Board; or (iii) the shareholders approve a
liquidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company or
certain merger and consolidation transactions.

     On August 1, 1995, the Company entered into an employment agreement
with Mr. Paul S. Amos. This agreement provides for a three-year term
commencing August 1, 1995, with automatic extensions of one-year periods to
the term of the agreement occurring on an annual basis beginning August 1,
1996, unless written notice of termination is given prior to such annual
extensions. Pursuant to the agreement as currently in effect, as of January
1, 2001, Mr. Amos is entitled to receive an annual base salary of
$1,758,707.

     Other material terms of Mr. Paul S. Amos' employment agreement relating
to termination, disability, death and changes in control of the Company are
substantially similar to such provisions in Mr. Daniel P. Amos' employment
agreement, as described above.

     On July 15, l997, the Company entered into a deferred compensation
agreement with Mr. Paul S. Amos. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Amos may
elect to defer up to 100% of his salary and annual bonus for each calendar
year commencing with 1998, such deferred amounts are credited to an account
maintained by the Company. The Company has established a trust to satisfy
its obligations to pay such deferred amounts at the time elected by Mr. Amos
at the time of each deferral, but Mr. Amos will have no prior claim to the
assets of the trust over the general creditors of the Company in the event
of the insolvency of the Company. Deferred amounts credited to Mr. Amos'
account will receive interest annually at a rate equal to earnings for the
calendar year on investments made by the trust with amounts contributed by
the Company.
                                    24

     Payments of deferred amounts may occur in lump-sum or in annual
installments, or as otherwise determined by the Company and elected by Mr.
Amos at the time of the deferral. Lump-sum distributions may occur in
advance of the elected time of payout in the event of (i) medical hardship,
as determined by the Company (limited to the amount necessary to meet such
hardship), (ii) certain defined changes in control of ownership of the
Company (consisting of (a) the acquisition of 30% or more of the Company's
outstanding shares or voting power by a person, entity or group, (b)
approval by the Company's shareholders of a reorganization, merger or
consolidation where at least 50% of the share ownership of the Company
following such event is not held by persons who were shareholders of the
Company prior to such event or (c) the liquidation or dissolution of the
Company or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets) or
(iii) the termination of employment of the CEO of the Company.

     Pursuant to an employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Kriss
Cloninger, III, as amended, Mr. Cloninger is employed as Chief Financial
Officer of the Company. The term of the agreement is subject to automatic
two-year extensions on an annual basis beginning March 16, 1994, unless
written notice that such extension will not occur is given prior to such
annual date by either party. Mr. Cloninger is entitled to a base salary per
year of $525,000, which shall be increased annually during the term of the
agreement and any extensions thereof, as determined by the Company's CEO.
The Company shall also pay Mr. Cloninger, as performance bonus compensation,
an amount each year under the Company's Management Incentive Plan.

     Mr. Cloninger will be eligible to participate in all fringe benefit
programs applicable to employees generally, and shall receive such other
"fringe" or employee benefits (including awards of stock options) as are
provided to key executive employees of the Company and that are appropriate
to his responsibilities as Chief Financial Officer.

     Other material terms of Mr. Cloninger's employment agreement relating
to termination, disability, death and changes in control of the Company are
substantially similar to such provisions in Mr. Daniel P. Amos' employment
agreement, as described above.

     Mr. Kriss Cloninger, III is a participant in the SERP.  Under the plan,
as amended, in the event that a participant's employment with the Company is
terminated within two years of a "change in control" of the Company other
than for death, disability or cause, or a participant terminates his
employment during such period for "good reason," the participant becomes
100% vested in his retirement benefits and is entitled to receive a lump-sum
amount equal to the actuarial equivalent of the annual retirement benefit to
which he would have been entitled had he remained in the employ of the
Company until (i) age 55 (in the case of a participant who is not yet 55);
(ii) age 60 (in the case of a participant who is at least 55, but not yet
60); or (iii) age 65 (in the case of a participant who is at least 60, but
not yet 65), as the case may be. A "change in control" shall generally occur
under the same circumstances described as a "change in control" in Mr.
Daniel P. Amos' employment agreement. "Cause" shall mean generally: (i) the
participant's willful failure to substantially perform his duties with the
Company (other than that resulting from illness or after a participant gives
notice of termination of employment for "good reason") after a written
demand for substantial performance is delivered to the participant by the
Board, or (ii) the willful engaging by the participant in materially
injurious conduct to the Company. "Good reason" is defined to include

                                    25

various adverse changes in employment status, duties and/or compensation and
benefits following a "change in control." Benefits may be reduced to the
extent that they are not deductible by the Company for income tax purposes.

     Pursuant to an employment agreement between AFLAC and Mr. Yoshiki
Otake, Mr. Otake is to serve as Chairman of AFLAC Japan (or, upon his
removal, the position of a senior officer of AFLAC Japan) through 2004,
subject to annual renewals thereafter by the mutual consent of the parties.
He is entitled to receive a base salary in 2001 of 92,923,000 yen ($809,786
at the 2000 year-end exchange rate) and is eligible for a short-term
management incentive bonus with a target amount of 40% of his base salary.
Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Otake will be considered for salary increases
in the same manner and time as the senior executive officers of AFLAC.  Mr.
Otake also participates in the Company's 1985 and 1997 Plans in the same
manner as most AFLAC senior officers and directors.

     Under the agreement, Mr. Otake is eligible for full retirement benefits
at age 65 and may take voluntary early retirement with reduced benefits upon
the approval of AFLAC. Mr. Otake is entitled to full retirement benefits
upon total and permanent disability prior to age 65. His full retirement
benefits (which are subject to annual adjustment for cost-of-living
increases proportionate to those granted to senior officers of AFLAC Japan)
consist of a choice between (i) 60% of the higher of his total compensation
(defined under this agreement as base salary and bonus) for the last 12
months of employment, or the highest total compensation received in any
calendar year during the agreement term, to be paid during the remainder of
Mr. Otake's life, or (ii) 54% of such compensation, paid to Mr. Otake during
the remainder of his life, with 1/2 of such amount to be paid to his spouse
for a specified period of time after his death. After retirement, Mr. Otake
and his spouse shall receive medical benefits for the remainder of their
lives.  Until Mr. Otake reaches 65, where mutual consent to renew the
agreement is not obtained but where Mr. Otake remains mentally and
physically sound, he is allowed to continue his employment with such stature
as deemed appropriate by AFLAC with a starting salary equivalent to 70% of
his last salary, subject to annual cost-of-living increases.  Mr. Otake has
agreed not to engage in any activity competitive with AFLAC while any
benefits (including retirement benefits) are being paid to him by AFLAC. In
consideration of the benefits contained in his agreement, Mr. Otake has
waived any rights to participate in any other AFLAC or AFLAC Japan
retirement or pension plans.

AFLAC since 1973 and presently serves as Alabama/West Florida State Sales
Coordinator. In 2000 he earned renewal and first-year commissions of
$1,120,382 (before expenses) on collected premiums of $35,684,368.

     In 2000, $97,577 was paid by AFLAC to Lisa L. Cloninger, the wife of
