Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Plan Administrator and Plan Participants of Aflac Incorporated 401(k) Savings and Profit Sharing Plan

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Aflac Incorporated 401(k) Savings and Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2021 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended, and the related notes and schedule (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2021 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Supplemental Information
The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2021, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan's financial statements. The information in the supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Aflac Incorporated 401(k) Savings and Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2021 and 2020

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Aflac Incorporated 401(k) Savings and Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) was established for the benefit of the employees of Aflac Incorporated; American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus (Aflac); American Family Life Assurance Company of New York; Aflac International, Inc.; Continental American Insurance Company; Communicorp, Inc.; Aflac Benefits Advisors, Inc.; Empoweredbenefits, LLC; Aflac Asset Management LLC; Aflac Global Ventures LLC; Argus Holdings, LLC; Argus Dental & Vision, Inc.; Tier One Insurance Company; Empowered.Insure LLC; and Aflac InfoSec Services LLC (collectively, the Company). The Plan excludes Puerto Rico residents and employees of Aflac Life Insurance Japan Ltd.
     
The Company stock fund investment under the Plan is an employee stock ownership plan with a dividend pass-through option. This option allows participants to make an election to receive any Company stock dividends in cash instead of using them to buy more Company stock in the participant's 401(k) account.

In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. The Plan elected to implement certain provisions of the CARES Act that are available to tax qualified retirement plans and their participants. These provisions include, among other things, permitting special COVID-19 related distributions of up to $100,000, increasing the maximum amount of Plan loans to participants to $100,000 for loans made prior to September 23, 2020, deferring payments on certain Plan loans through December 31, 2020, and suspending required minimum distributions for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The following description provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
(a)General
The Plan is subject to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Eligible employees may voluntarily participate in the Plan on the first day of the payroll period following their employment date.

The Plan is administered by a plan administrator appointed by Aflac Incorporated's Board of Directors. For the year ended December 31, 2021 and the period July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, Fidelity Management Trust Company served as the Plan's trustee and Fidelity Workplace Services LLC served as the Plan's recordkeeper. For the period January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020, T. Rowe Price Trust Company (T. Rowe Price) was the Plan's trustee and recordkeeper. 
(b)Contributions and Transfers
Contributions to the Plan are made by both participants and the Company. Participants may elect to contribute portions of their salary and bonus in increments of whole percentages of up to 75%, subject to aggregate limits imposed by Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations. Aggregate limits as prescribed by the IRS were $19,500 for participants under the age of 50 and $26,000 for participants age 50 and older in 2021. Participants can elect whether to make contributions on a pre-tax basis (traditional 401(k)) or on an after-tax basis (Roth 401(k)). Participants that do not make an affirmative contribution election are automatically enrolled in the Plan to contribute 6% of annual cash compensation, which will increase by 1% annually until contributions reach 10% of annual cash compensation.

The first 1% to 4% of participants' compensation contributed may be subject to a percentage matching contribution by the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2021, subject to certain limitations, the Company's matching contribution was 100% of the portion of the participants' contributions, which were not in excess of 4% of the participants' annual cash compensation. Participants may transfer into the Plan amounts representing distributions from other eligible plans.

The Company provides a nonelective contribution for employees who elected to opt out of the future benefits of the Aflac Incorporated defined benefit plan during the election period provided during the fourth quarter of 2013
5


and for new U.S. employees who started working for the Company after September 30, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the nonelective contribution was 4% of annual cash compensation. 
(c)Participant Accounts
An account is maintained for each participant and is credited with participant contributions and investment earnings or losses thereon. Contributions may be invested in one or more of the investment funds available under the Plan at the direction of the participant. A separate account is maintained with respect to each participant's interest in the Company's matching and non-elective contributions. Amounts in this account are apportioned and invested in the same manner as the participant's account. For participants that have not made an investment election, amounts in this account are invested in a target date retirement fund determined based on the age of the participant.
(d)Vesting and Forfeited Accounts
Participants are 100% vested in their contributions plus investment earnings or losses thereon.
Participants become vested in the Company’s matching contributions and nonelective contributions and the related earnings or losses thereon according to the following schedule.
             
Years of ServiceVested Percentage    
Less than 10%
120%
240%
360%
480%
5 or more100%

A participant's interest in the Company's matching contributions and nonelective contributions and the related earnings or losses thereon is also vested upon termination either because of death or disability or after attaining early retirement date or normal retirement age.

Except as previously described, participants forfeit the portion of their non-vested interest upon termination of employment. These forfeitures are available to reduce the Company's future matching contributions or plan expenses. At December 31, 2021, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled approximately $177,000, compared with approximately $85,000 at December 31, 2020. In 2021, forfeitures of approximately $1,315,000 were used to reduce employer matching contributions. 
(e)Distributions
Participants may receive a distribution equal to the vested value of their account upon death, disability, retirement, or termination of either the Plan or the participant's employment. Distributions may only be made in the form of a lump-sum cash payment and/or Aflac Incorporated common stock. Certain eligible participants can elect periodic withdrawals and installment distributions.

The Plan permits in-service withdrawals from vested account balances for participants who have attained age 59 ½. Additionally, hardship withdrawals are available under certain circumstances for which the participant must provide documentation.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Plan elected to implement certain provisions of the CARES Act which include, among other things, special distributions of up to $100,000 for participants affected by COVID-19. 
(f)Notes Receivable From Participants
Participants are allowed to borrow funds from their accounts. The minimum amount of any notes receivable is $1,000. No participant may have more than one loan outstanding at any time, except that a participant may have more than one loan outstanding if both loans were issued before August 1, 2012, or if multiple loans were transferred from predecessor plans. With the exception of loans made in accordance with the CARES Act provisions outlined below, the maximum amount of loans made to a participant from the Plan, when added together, cannot exceed the lesser of:
6


a.     50% of the participant's vested benefit (as defined by the Plan document); or
b.    $50,000, reduced by the amount, if any, of the highest balance of all outstanding loans to the participant during the one-year period ending on the day prior to the day on which the loan is made.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Plan elected to implement certain provisions of the CARES Act which, among other things, increased the maximum amount of Plan loans to participants to $100,000 for loans made to qualifying participants prior to September 23, 2020. Additionally, these provisions also allowed participants to defer loan payments through December 31, 2020.

All notes receivable carry a maturity date of up to five years for general purpose loans and up to 10 years for loans made to purchase the participant's principal residence and are secured by the balance in the participant's account. Interest rates on participant loans are established at the prevailing prime interest rate at the time the loan is made plus 2%. The prime interest rate was 3.25% at December 31, 2021 and 2020. Participant loans are classified as notes receivable from participants, which are segregated from plan investments and measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest.
(g)Transactions With Parties-in-Interest
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the statements of net assets available for plan benefits include the following investments and notes receivable with parties-in-interest to the Plan.

The Plan’s investments include shares of common stock issued by Aflac Inc., the Plan sponsor. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Plan held a combined total of 2.2 million and 2.5 million shares valued at approximately $58.39 and $44.47 per share, respectively. Additionally, the Plan received dividends paid by the Aflac Inc. common stock totaling $2.9 million in 2021. In 2021, the Plan paid fees totaling approximately $65,000 to Fidelity and received approximately $474,000 of revenue credits from Fidelity.
2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
(a)Basis of Presentation
The accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
(b)Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 
(c)Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
Investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 5 for discussion of fair value measurements.

Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated based on the difference between selling price and cost on an average cost basis. Realized gains and losses and changes in the fair value of investments are
7


included in net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities could occur and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits.
(d)Notes Receivable from Participants
Participant loans are classified as notes receivable from participants, which are segregated from plan investments and measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses when they are incurred. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Delinquent participant loans are recorded as distributions on the basis of the terms of the Plan agreement.
(e)Excess Contributions Payable
Amounts payable to participants for contributions in excess of amounts allowed by the Internal Revenue Service are recorded as a liability with a corresponding reduction to contributions. For the year ended December 31, 2021, there were excess contributions of $18,079. For the year ended December 31, 2020, there were no material excess contributions.
(f)Distributions
Distributions to participants are recorded when paid.
(g)Expenses
The majority of the Plan's administrative expenses are paid directly by the Company and excluded from these financial statements. Administrative fees on loans and in-service withdrawal expenses are paid directly by the requesting participant and are deducted from the loan or in-service withdrawal amount. Investment-related expenses are included in net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments.

(h)New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Measurement, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement: In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amendments to the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The amendments remove, modify, and add certain disclosures. The Plan adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Plan's statement of net assets available for plan benefits, the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits, or disclosures.

3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The IRS has determined and informed the Company by letter dated March 25, 2016, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code and therefore, are exempt from federal income taxes. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter in 2016, the Plan administrator and the Plan's legal counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

U.S. GAAP requires the Company to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Company has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

4. PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in their accounts.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three valuation hierarchy levels. Level 1 valuations reflect quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 valuations reflect quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets or model-derived valuations in which all significant valuation inputs are observable in active markets. Level 3 valuations reflect valuations in which one or more of the significant inputs are not observable in an active market.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The asset's or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

1.    Mutual funds: Valued at daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-end mutual funds that are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value (NAV) and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded.

2.    Common stock: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.
3.    Common trust funds: The trust funds are comprised of the financial instruments outlined below.
a.Stable value common trust fund composed primarily of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts (FBRICs). The Plan's investment is limited to holding units of the fund and is therefore considered to have an indirect investment in the FBRICs held by the fund.
b.U.S. Treasury money market trust fund that invests substantially all of its assets in short-term U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury obligations.
c.Target date retirement funds which invest in underlying trusts that represent various asset classes and sectors. Based on target dates, the allocation to equity-based underlying trusts is expected to become increasingly conservative over time.

The Plan values these trust funds at NAV, as provided by the Plan's trustee, and are deemed to have a readily determinable fair value in accordance with ASC 820. The NAV is calculated by its issuer utilizing quoted market prices, most recent bid prices in the principal market in which the securities are normally traded, pricing services and dealer quotes. NAVs are reported by the funds and are supported by the unit prices of actual purchases and sale transactions occurring as of or close to the financial statement date.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan's investments at fair value as of December 31.
