ITEM 5.  OTHER

     AFLAC Incorporated announced on June 27, 2002, that it issued yen-denominated (Samurai) bonds totaling 30 billion yen, or approximately $250 million at the current exchange rate. The bonds were issued in Japan under a previously announced shelf registration filed with Japanese regulatory authorities. This issuance completes the shelf registration.

     AFLAC anticipates that it will use the net proceeds of the yen-denominated bonds to repay debt, to repurchase its common shares, or for general corporate purposes.

     The securities to be issued through the above-referenced shelf registration will not be registered in the United States and will not be offered or sold to U.S. investors absent compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 or an available exemption from the registration requirements thereof.
