Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure.
On April 13, 2017, Unum Group (the "Company") made available a Supplemental Exhibit to illustrate the changes to the presentation of the Company's prior period operating results as a result of the inclusion of amortization of prior period actuarial gains or losses, a component of the net periodic benefit cost for its pensions and other postretirement benefit plans. The Company previously excluded these amounts from its performance measure of "operating income or loss". Effective January 1, 2017, these amounts are now allocated to the Corporate segment.  Amounts for periods prior to January 1, 2017 have been adjusted to conform to current year reporting.

This information is being made available to provide investors with an opportunity to become familiar with the expected impact to the Company's operating results and the presentation thereof prior to the Company's earnings release for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. A copy of the Supplemental Exhibit is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
