Columbus, Ga. – June 14, 2005 – Aflac co-founder Paul S. Amos and his son, Aflac Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Daniel P. Amos are ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange today in honor of the company's year-long 50th Anniversary celebration.

Also attending will be Kriss Cloninger, Aflac's president and chief financial officer, Paul S. Amos II, executive vice president of U.S. Operations, Ken Janke Jr., senior vice president of investor relations and Patricia Bell, second vice president, shareholders services.

“This is a great day for Aflac. Not only are we celebrating our 31st year of being listed on the New York Stock Exchange, but we're recognizing this milestone as part of our year-long 50th anniversary celebration of our company's founding,” Dan Amos said.

Aflac was founded in Columbus, Ga., in 1955 by brothers John, Paul and Bill Amos.

He is also a member of Aflac's board of directors and a state sales coordinator.
