PR Newswire (US)
COLUMBUS, Ga., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aflac Incorporated
(NYSE:AFL) announced today that it plans to voluntarily withdraw
its common stock from listing on NYSE Arca, Inc., formerly the
Pacific Exchange. Aflac's equity securities will continue to be
listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The decision to voluntarily
withdraw listing from NYSE Arca, Inc. was made to eliminate
duplicative administrative requirements inherent with dual listings
as a result of the NYSE Group's recent merger with Archipelago
Holdings, the parent company of NYSE Arca. NYSE Arca will continue
trading Aflac's common stock on an unlisted trading privilege
basis. For more than 50 years, Aflac products have given
policyholders the opportunity to direct cash where it is needed
most when a life-interrupting medical event causes financial
challenges. Aflac is the number one provider of
guaranteed-renewable insurance in the United States and the number
one insurance company in terms of individual insurance policies in
force in Japan. Aflac's insurance products provide protection to
more than 40 million people worldwide. Aflac has been included in
Fortune magazine's listing of America's Most Admired Companies for
six consecutive years. In January 2006, Aflac was included in
Fortune magazine's list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For in
America for the eighth consecutive year. Aflac was also included in
Fortune magazine's list of the Top 50 Employers for Minorities in
August 2005, and in September 2005, Aflac Japan was named the Life
Insurance Company of the Year at the Asia Insurance Industry
Awards, sponsored by the Asia Insurance Review. Aflac Incorporated
is a Fortune 500 company listed on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol AFL. To find out more about Aflac, visit
