Up to 1,500,000 shares may be issued under the 2020 ESPP plus any shares that remained available for issuance under the Company's prior ESPP, the Unum Group Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as of April 1, 2020. A description of the material features of the 2020 ESPP is set forth under the heading "Approval of the Unum Group 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan" on pages 101 through 105 of the Company's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2020 (the "Proxy Statement").
