SAN FRANCISCO, April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Glass, Lewis & Co., a leading independent research and proxy advisory firm, will host a Proxy Talk conference call on Thursday, April 17 at 2:00 p.m. (EDT) with Daniel P. Amos, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aflac Inc. Mr. Amos will discuss the company's advisory-vote-on-compensation proposal, which will be submitted to shareholders at the company's annual meeting on May 5, 2008. The proposal, a first for a U.S. company, is similar to that submitted for shareholder vote at companies in the U.K., Australia and elsewhere. This proposal gives shareholders the ability to cast a non-binding vote on the company's executive compensation policies and procedures. On the call, Glass Lewis will discuss Aflac's reasoning for granting shareholders this opportunity to vote on the company's compensation practices and how shareholders have responded. This conference call is for Glass Lewis clients and other invited institutional investors. Institutional investors can learn more about Proxy Talk at http://www.glasslewis.com/learnmore/.
