Long-Term Incentive Plan financial
"Granted under the Aflac Incorporated Long-Term Incentive Plan"
A long-term incentive plan is a company program that pays executives or employees with stock, options, or cash tied to multi-year performance goals, where the rewards become theirs only after meeting conditions over time. Think of it as a delayed bonus or retirement-style reward that aligns employees’ interests with shareholders by encouraging them to boost long-term value; investors watch these plans because they affect pay costs, share dilution and management incentives.
Common Stock financial

It is the most common type of stock traded on markets and can provide income through dividends, as well as potential for value growth.
