Unum Group (NYSE: UNM) announced today that its board of directors has approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the company to repurchase up to $1 billion of its common stock from time to time beginning on September 1, 2026.

Repurchases may be made in open market transactions at prevailing prices, in privately negotiated transactions (including accelerated share repurchase programs), pursuant to preset trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. The program may be suspended, modified, or terminated by the board at any time.
