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
