Stumble It!Investors are invited to vote on how much they think corporate executives should get paid.
This would be the first time shareholders have a say in compensation for a publicly traded US company.
Aflac will announce the results of the vote at the annual shareholder's meeting on May 5.
In a statement Dan Amos, the Chairman and CEO says, "Aflac has always been committed to listening to its shareholders,"
said Daniel P. Amos, Aflac Chairman and CEO. "The upcoming 'say-on-pay'
proposal demonstrates that we care about what our shareholders think, even
on topics as sensitive as compensation."
