NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION
The following 2015 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table shows, for Mr. Daniel P. Amos, Company contributions to
and earnings and account balances under the Aflac Incorporated Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (“EDCP”), an
unfunded, unsecured deferred compensation plan.
The EDCP allows certain U.S.-based officers, including
the NEOs (the “Participants”), to defer up to 75% of
their base salaries and up to 100% of their annual non-
equity incentive awards. The Company may make
discretionary matching or other discretionary
contributions in such amounts, if any, that the
Compensation Committee may determine from year to
year.
The EDCP is subject to the requirements of Section
409A of the IRC. The Company amended the EDCP
document to conform to Section 409A’s requirements in
December 2009. Deferred amounts earned and vested
prior to 2005 (“grandfathered” amounts) under the
EDCP are not subject to Section 409A’s requirements
and continue to be governed generally under the terms
of the EDCP and the tax laws in effect before January
1, 2005, as applicable.
In addition to amounts that Mr. Daniel P. Amos elected
to defer and amounts of discretionary contributions the
Company credited to his account, the amounts in the
Aggregate Balance column include investment earnings
(and losses) determined under the phantom
investments described below. Account balances may
be invested in phantom investments selected by
Participants from an array of investment options that
substantially mirror the funds available under the
Company’s 401(k) Plan, except for Common Stock. The
array of available investment options changes from time
to time. Since December 31, 2011, Participants could
choose from among several different investment
options, including domestic and international equity,
income, short-term investment and blended funds.
Participants can change their investment selections
daily (unless prohibited by the fund) by contacting the
EDCP’s third-party recordkeeper in the same manner
that applies to participants in the 401(k) Plan.
Each year, when Participants elect whether to defer
compensation under the EDCP for the following year,
they also elect the timing and form of their future
distributions attributable to those deferrals, with a
separate election permitted for each type of deferral
(i.e., salary and non-equity incentive award). Under this
process, each Participant may elect for distributions
attributable to deferrals either to be made or begin in a
specific year (whether or not employment has then
ended) or at a time that begins six months after the
Participant’s termination of employment. Each
Participant may elect for any distribution to be made in
a lump sum or in up to 10 annual installments.
Distributions attributable to discretionary contributions
are made in the form and at the time specified by the
Company.
