Risks Relating to Our Business
AIG’s Credit Ratings
          The downgrades in AIG’s credit ratings will increase AIG’s borrowing costs, may lessen AIG’s ability to compete in certain businesses and will require AIG to post additional collateral.
          From March through June of 2005, the major rating agencies downgraded AIG’s ratings in a series of actions. Standard & Poor’s, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”), lowered the long-term senior debt and counterparty ratings of AIG from ‘AAA’ to ‘AA’ (second highest of eight rating categories) and changed the rating outlook to negative. S&P’s outlook indicates the potential direction of a rating over the intermediate term (typically six months to two years). A negative outlook means that a rating may be lowered; however, an outlook is not necessarily a precursor to a rating change. Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) lowered AIG’s long-term senior debt rating from ‘Aaa’ to ‘Aa2’ (second highest of nine rating categories) with a stable outlook. Moody’s appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to the generic rating categories to show relative position within rating categories. Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) downgraded the long-term senior debt ratings of AIG from ‘AAA’ to ‘AA’ (second highest of nine rating categories) and placed the ratings on Rating Watch Negative. A Fitch Rating Watch notifies investors that there is a reasonable probability of a rating change and the likely direction of such change. A Rating Watch Negative indicates a potential downgrade. Rating Watch is typically resolved over a relatively short period. In April 2006, Fitch removed AIG from Rating Watch Negative and affirmed its rating with a stable outlook.
          The agencies also took rating actions on AIG’s insurance subsidiaries. S&P lowered the financial strength ratings of AIG’s insurance subsidiaries to ‘AA+’ (second highest rating of eight rating categories) and assigned a negative rating outlook. Fitch also lowered the financial strength ratings of AIG’s insurance companies to ‘AA+’ (second highest of nine rating categories) and placed them on Rating Watch Negative. In April 2006, Fitch removed the financial strength ratings from Rating Watch Negative and affirmed them with a stable outlook. S&P and Fitch ratings may be modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories. Moody’s lowered the insurance financial strength ratings generally to either ‘Aa1’ or ‘Aa2’ (both within the second highest of nine rating categories) with a stable outlook. A.M. Best downgraded the financial strength ratings of most of AIG’s insurance subsidiaries from ‘A++’ to ‘A+’ (second highest of fourteen rating levels) and the issuer credit ratings from ‘aa+’ to ‘aa-’ (remaining within the second highest of nine rating levels) and placed the ratings under review with negative implications. An under review modifier by A.M. Best is assigned to a company whose rating opinion is under review and may be subject to change in the near-term, generally defined as six months. Negative implications indicates a potential downgrade. In June 2006, A.M. Best upgraded the financial strength ratings from ‘A+’ to ‘A++’ (highest of fourteen rating levels) and the issuer credit ratings from ‘aa-’ to ‘aa+’ (remaining within the second highest of nine rating levels) for the domestic life & retirement services subsidiaries of AIG. A.M. Best also affirmed the financial strength ratings of ‘A+’ (second highest of fourteen rating levels) and the issuer credit ratings of ‘aa-’ (within the second highest of nine rating levels) of most of AIG’s domestic property and casualty subsidiaries. In addition, A.M. Best removed from review all of the ratings of AIG’s insurance subsidiaries and assigned an issuer credit rating of ‘aa’ (within the second highest of nine rating levels) to AIG.
          In addition, S&P changed the outlook on the ‘AA-’ long-term senior debt rating (second highest out of eight rating categories) of International Lease Finance Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary of AIG) (“ILFC”) to negative. Moody’s affirmed ILFC’s long-term and short-term senior debt ratings (‘A1’/‘P-1’) (third highest of nine, and highest of three, rating categories, respectively). Fitch downgraded ILFC’s long-

term senior debt rating from ‘AA-’ to ‘A+’ (third highest of nine rating categories), placed it on Rating Watch Negative and downgraded ILFC’s short-term debt rating from ‘F1+’ to ‘F1’ (remaining within the highest of five rating categories). In April 2006, Fitch removed ILFC’s long-term senior debt rating from Rating Watch Negative and affirmed it with a stable outlook.
          Fitch also placed the ‘A+’ long-term senior debt ratings (third highest of nine rating categories) of American General Finance Corporation and American General Finance, Inc. (wholly owned subsidiaries of AIG) on Rating Watch Negative. In April 2006, these ratings were also removed from Rating Watch Negative and affirmed with a stable outlook. S&P and Moody’s affirmed the long-term and short-term senior debt ratings of American General Finance Corporation of ’A+’/’A-1’ (third highest of eight rating categories/ highest of eight rating categories) and ’A1’/’P-1’ (third highest of nine rating categories/ highest of three rating categories), respectively.
          These debt and financial strength ratings are current opinions of the rating agencies. As such, they may be changed, suspended or withdrawn at any time by the rating agencies as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, information or based on other circumstances. Ratings may also be withdrawn at AIG management’s request. This discussion of ratings is not a complete list of ratings of AIG and its subsidiaries.
          These ratings actions have affected and will continue to affect AIG’s business and results of operations in a number of ways.
  •  Downgrades in AIG’s debt ratings will adversely affect AIG’s results of operations. AIG relies on external sources of financing to fund several of its operations. The cost and availability of unsecured financing are generally dependent on the issuer’s long-term and short-term debt ratings. These downgrades and any future downgrades in AIG’s debt ratings may adversely affect AIG’s borrowing costs and therefore adversely affect AIG’s results of operations.
 
  The downgrade in AIG’s long-term senior debt ratings will adversely affect AIGFP’s ability to compete for certain businesses. Credit ratings are very important to the ability of financial institutions to compete in the derivative and structured transaction marketplaces. Historically, AIG’s triple-A ratings provided AIGFP a competitive advantage. The downgrades have reduced this advantage and, for specialized financial transactions that generally are conducted only by triple-A rated financial institutions, counterparties may be unwilling to transact business with AIGFP except on a secured basis. This could require AIGFP to post more collateral to counterparties in the future. See below for a further discussion of the effect that posting collateral may have on AIG’s liquidity.
 
  Although the financial strength ratings of AIG’s insurance company subsidiaries remain high compared to many of their competitors, the downgrades have reduced the previous ratings differential. The competitive advantage of the ratings to AIG’s insurance company subsidiaries may be lessened accordingly.
 
  •  As a result of the downgrades of AIG’s long-term senior debt ratings, AIG was required to post approximately $1.16 billion of collateral with counterparties to municipal guaranteed investment contracts and financial derivatives transactions. In the event of a further downgrade, AIG will be required to post additional collateral. It is estimated that, as of the close of business on April 30, 2006, based on AIG’s outstanding municipal guaranteed investment contracts and financial derivatives transactions as of such date, a further downgrade of AIG’s long-term senior debt ratings to ‘Aa3’ by Moody’s or ‘AA-’ by S&P would permit counterparties to call for approximately $896 million of additional collateral. Further, additional downgrades could result in requirements for substantial additional collateral, which could have a material effect on how AIG manages its liquidity. The actual amount of additional collateral that AIG would be required to post to counterparties in the event of such downgrades depends on market conditions, the market value of the outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevailing at the time of the downgrade. Any additional obligations to post collateral will increase the demand on AIG’s liquidity.

Table of Contents

          Ratings downgrades could also trigger the application of termination provisions in certain of AIG’s contracts, principally agreements entered into by AIGFP and assumed reinsurance contracts entered into by Transatlantic.
          Certain municipal guaranteed investment agreements and master swap agreements entered into by AIGFP contain termination provisions based on ratings, which, at specified ratings levels, would give AIGFP’s counterparties the right to require repayment (in the case of guaranteed investment agreements) or termination (in the case of master swap agreements). Approximately 42 percent of AIGFP’s municipal guaranteed investment agreements outstanding at December 31, 2005 included credit rating termination provisions, of which approximately 89 percent would not be triggered until a downgrade from AIG’s current ratings of ‘Aa2’ by Moody’s and ‘AA’ by S&P, to ‘Baa1’ or below by Moody’s or to ‘BBB+’ or below by S&P (five rating notches or two levels below the current ratings). Approximately 37 percent of the master swap agreements outstanding between AIGFP and counterparties with which AIGFP has outstanding transactions at December 31, 2005 included a mutual credit rating termination provision, of which approximately 56 percent would not be triggered until a ratings downgrade of AIG to the ratings described above.
          The effect on AIGFP’s liquidity of termination provisions in municipal guaranteed investment agreements and master swap agreements would be influenced by a number of factors. The liquidity effect from the termination of any such agreement would be offset to the extent AIGFP had previously posted collateral to secure its obligations under the terminated agreement (as such collateral would be released upon AIGFP’s making the termination payment); AIGFP is often required to post collateral under both guaranteed investment agreements and master swap agreements before AIG’s credit ratings reach levels that would permit termination of such agreements. In the case of a terminated master swap agreement, whether AIGFP would be required to make a termination payment, and the amount of such payment, if any, would depend on the market value of the transactions under the agreement at the time of termination. Such values change continually with changes in various market levels (e.g., interest rates).
          With respect to reinsurance contracts entered into by Transatlantic, approximately 28 percent of the in-force contracts at December 31, 2005 contained clauses that permitted the ceding company to cancel the contract upon a ratings downgrade. The cancellation clauses would not be triggered until a downgrade of Transatlantic’s financial strength ratings (currently rated ‘AA-’ by S&P and ‘A+’ under review with negative implications by A.M. Best) below ‘A-’ by S&P or A.M. Best.
Regulatory Investigations
          Significant legal proceedings have adversely affected AIG’s results of operations for 2005. As a result of the settlements discussed under Item 3. Legal Proceedings in AIG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, AIG recorded an after-tax charge of approximately $1.15 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005. AIG is party to numerous other legal proceedings and regulatory investigations. It is possible that the effect of the unresolved matters could be material to AIG’s consolidated results of operations for an individual reporting period. For a discussion of these unresolved matters, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings in AIG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
          Significant investigations into AIG’s business are continuing and the commencement of additional investigations is possible. Broad-ranging investigations into AIG’s business practices continue. These investigations are being conducted by a number of regulators, and related actions by regulators both within and outside the United States may be undertaken in response. The review of large amounts of information by various regulatory authorities may result in the commencement of new areas of inquiry and, possibly, new significant legal proceedings.
The Relationships Between AIG and Starr and SICO
          The relationships between AIG and Starr and SICO may take an extended period of time to unwind and/or resolve, and the consequences of such resolution are uncertain. Although AIG is currently working on unwinding and resolving its relationships with Starr and SICO, which are described under “Relationships with Starr and SICO” below, AIG cannot predict what its future relationship with Starr and SICO

4


Table of Contents

will be. AIG subsidiaries are in the process of terminating their agency relationships with the Starr agencies and are beginning to write the business previously produced by those agencies on a direct basis. AIG also continues to address the issues posed by compensation plans and programs previously provided to AIG executives by Starr and SICO, as AIG is providing compensation programs that recognize those plans and programs. In January 2006, Starr announced that it had completed its tender offers to purchase interests in Starr and that all eligible shareholders had tendered their shares. As a result of completion of the tender offers, no AIG executive currently holds any Starr interest. AIG has entered into agreements pursuant to which AIG agrees, subject to certain conditions, to assure AIG’s current employees that all payments are made under the SICO Plans. See Note 12(f) and Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in AIG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that AIG will be able to effectively address the consequences for its executives of the unwinding of their participation in the Starr and SICO plans and programs. Nor can there be any assurance that AIG will compete successfully for the business previously produced by the Starr agencies.
          Finally, litigation between AIG and Starr and SICO remains pending, and the timing and terms of any resolution cannot currently be predicted. As a result of the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of AIG’s relationships with Starr and SICO will not be adverse to AIG. For further information about litigation between AIG and Starr and SICO, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings in AIG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Certain Material Weaknesses
          Management has identified three remaining material weaknesses in AIG’s internal control over financial reporting. Remediation is ongoing with respect to these material weaknesses, which relate to controls over certain balance sheet reconciliations, controls over the accounting for certain derivative transactions and controls over income tax accounting. Until these weaknesses are remediated, the weaknesses could affect the accuracy or timing of future filings with the SEC and other regulatory authorities. A discussion of these material weaknesses and AIG’s remediation efforts can be found in Item 9A of Part II of AIG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Access to Capital Markets
          AIG’s access to the U.S. public capital markets may be delayed by the SEC registration process. Although AIG is able to access the Rule 144A and Euro markets, AIG will be unable to access the U.S. public securities markets until it has filed and the SEC has declared effective a new registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933. Depending upon the SEC’s review of these filings, this process may take several months or more.
          Unless relief is granted by the SEC, AIG will not be able to avail itself of certain favorable provisions of the Securities Act. AIG will not, for a period of three years, be a “well-known seasoned issuer”. During this period, AIG’s ability to communicate with respect to new product offerings and to structure client products will be more limited than they otherwise would. In addition, during this period, AIG will not be able to avail itself of provisions that allow for an automatically effective shelf registration statement or rely on the “forward-looking statements” safe harbor under the securities laws in providing forward-looking information to investors.
Foreign Operations
          Foreign operations expose AIG to risks that may affect its operations, liquidity and financial conditions. AIG provides insurance and investment products and services to both businesses and individuals in more than 130 countries and jurisdictions. A substantial portion of AIG’s General Insurance business and a majority of its Life Insurance & Retirement Services businesses are conducted outside the United States. Operations outside of the United States may be affected by regional economic downturns, political upheaval, nationalization and other restrictive government actions, which could also affect other AIG operations.

Table of Contents

          The degree of regulation and supervision in foreign jurisdiction varies. Generally, AIG, as well as the underwriting companies operating in such jurisdictions, must satisfy local regulatory requirements. Licenses issued by foreign authorities to AIG subsidiaries are subject to modification and revocation. Thus, AIG’s insurance subsidiaries could be prevented from conducting future business in certain of the jurisdictions where they currently operate. AIG’s international operations include operations in various developing nations. Both current and future foreign operations could be adversely affected by unfavorable political developments including tax changes, regulatory restrictions and nationalization of AIG’s operations without compensation. Adverse affects resulting from any one country may affect AIG’s results of operations, liquidity and financial condition depending on the magnitude of the event and AIG’s net financial exposure at that time in that country.
Liquidity
          Payments from subsidiaries may be limited by regulators. AIG depends on dividends, distributions and other payments from AIG’s subsidiaries to fund dividend payments and to fund payments on AIG’s obligations, including debt obligations. Regulatory and other legal restrictions may limit AIG’s ability to transfer funds freely, either to or from AIG’s subsidiaries. In particular, many of AIG’s subsidiaries, including AIG’s insurance subsidiaries, are subject to laws and regulations that authorize regulatory bodies to block or reduce the flow of funds to the parent holding company, or that prohibit such transfer altogether in certain circumstances. These laws and regulations may hinder AIG’s ability to access funds that AIG may need to make payments on AIG’s obligations.
Regulation
          AIG is subject to extensive regulation in the jurisdictions in which it conducts its businesses. AIG’s operations around the world are subject to regulation by different types of regulatory authorities, including insurance, securities, investment advisory, banking and thrift regulators in the United States and abroad. AIG’s operations have become more diverse and consumer-oriented, increasing the scope of regulatory supervision and the possibility of intervention. In particular, AIG’s consumer lending business is subject to a broad array of laws and regulations governing lending practices and permissible loan terms, and AIG would expect increased regulatory oversight relating to this business.
          The regulatory environment could have a significant effect on AIG and its businesses. Among other things, AIG could be fined, prohibited from engaging in some of its business activities or subject to limitations or conditions on its business activities. Significant regulatory action against AIG could have material adverse financial effects, cause significant reputational harm, or harm business prospects. New laws or regulations or changes in the enforcement of existing laws or regulations applicable to clients may also adversely affect AIG and its businesses.
Casualty Insurance Underwriting and Reserves
          Casualty insurance liabilities are difficult to predict and may exceed the related reserves for losses and loss expenses. While AIG annually reviews the adequacy of the established reserve for losses and loss expenses, there can be no assurance that AIG’s ultimate loss reserves will not develop adversely and materially exceed AIG’s current loss reserves. Estimation of ultimate net losses, loss expenses and loss reserves is a complex process for long-tail casualty lines of business, which include excess and umbrella liability, directors and officers liability, professional liability, medical malpractice, workers compensation, general liability, products liability and related classes, as well as for asbestos and environmental exposures. Generally, actual historical loss development factors are used to project future loss development. However, there can be no assurance that future loss development patterns will be the same as in the past. Moreover, any deviation in loss cost trends or in loss development factors might not be discernible for an extended period of time subsequent to the recording of the initial loss reserve estimates for any accident year. Thus, there is the potential for reserves with respect to a number of years to be significantly affected by changes in loss cost trends or loss development factors that were relied upon in setting the reserves. These changes in

6


Table of Contents

loss trends or loss development factors could be attributable to changes in inflation in labor and material costs or in the judicial environment, or in other social or economic phenomena affecting claims.
Natural Disasters and Pandemic Diseases
          Natural disasters and pandemic disease could adversely affect AIG’s operating results. Natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and other catastrophes have the potential to adversely affect AIG’s operating results. Other risks, such as an outbreak of a pandemic disease, such as the Avian Influenza A Virus (H5N1), could adversely affect AIG’s business and operating results to an extent that may be only minimally offset by reinsurance programs.
          While to date outbreaks of the Avian Flu continue to occur among poultry or wild birds in a number of countries in Asia, parts of Europe, and recently in Africa, transmission to humans has been rare. If the virus mutates to a form that can be transmitted from human to human, it has the potential to spread rapidly worldwide. If such an outbreak were to take place, early quarantine and vaccination could be critical to containment.
          Both the contagion and mortality rate of any mutated H5N1 virus that can be transmitted from human to human are highly speculative. AIG continues to monitor the developing facts. A significant global outbreak could have a material adverse effect on AIG’s life insurance business operating results and liquidity from increased mortality and morbidity rates.
USE OF PROCEEDS
          AIG will not receive any of the proceeds from delivery of Plan Shares by SICO or from any sales by the Selling Shareholders of the Plan Shares. All costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares will be borne by AIG.

RELATIONSHIPS WITH STARR AND SICO
          SICO and Starr, a private holding company affiliated with SICO, have been affiliated with AIG since AIG’s formation.
          Starr and SICO were established by Cornelius Vander Starr, the founder of the insurance operations that were eventually combined to form AIG. Starr was established in 1950 primarily for the purpose of holding certain U.S. based insurance agencies. SICO was established in 1943 to engage in insurance agency and servicing activities. Starr and SICO acquired substantially all of their shares of AIG Common Stock during the period from 1967 to 1978 when AIG’s current holding-company structure was established through the consolidation of Cornelius Vander Starr’s insurance businesses, including most of those held by Starr and SICO, which were transferred to AIG in exchange for shares of AIG Common Stock. Following these restructurings, Starr continued to hold some insurance agencies, which have continued to do business with AIG subsidiaries. More information on Starr’s and SICO’s ownership of AIG Common Stock can be found in the most recent Schedule 13D filed by these entities.
          Historically, Starr offered members of AIG’s senior management the opportunity to purchase shares of its common stock, and from 1975 through 2004 SICO provided compensation to certain key employees of AIG through the SICO Plans. A number of senior AIG executives have historically held positions with, and received compensation from, Starr and SICO.
          AIG is working on unwinding and resolving its various relationships with Starr and SICO. AIG also is implementing compensation programs that replace those plans and programs previously provided by Starr and SICO. As a result of completion of tender offers by Starr to purchase interests in Starr, as of January 2006, no AIG executive holds any Starr interest. Litigation between AIG and Starr and SICO remains pending, and the timing and terms of any resolution cannot currently be predicted. Further information concerning the relationship between AIG and Starr and SICO is contained in AIG’s Proxy Statement, dated April 5, 2006, and further information concerning the litigation between AIG and Starr and SICO is contained in AIG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, each of which is available as described under “Where You Can Find More Information”.
THE SICO PLANS
          Starr International Company, Inc., or SICO, has provided benefits under a series of substantially similar Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plans (referred to as SICO Plans) to certain key employees of SICO, AIG and their subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Participants”).
          Each SICO Plan has a two-year performance period. The SICO Plans provide that shares of AIG Common Stock owned by SICO may be set aside by SICO for the benefit of Participants and distributed upon their retirement. The number of shares of AIG Common Stock set aside for each Participant under a SICO Plan is based primarily on (1) the growth in SICO’s retained earnings attributable to the shares of AIG Common Stock held by SICO during the two-year performance period to which the Plan applies as compared to the preceding two-year period and (2) the book value of a share of AIG Common Stock at the end of the two-year performance period to which the Plan applies. The SICO board of directors currently may permit an early payout of units under certain circumstances. Prior to payout, a Participant is not entitled to vote, dispose of or receive dividends with respect to the shares of AIG Common Stock, and such shares are subject to forfeiture under certain conditions, including but not limited to the Participant’s voluntary termination of employment before normal retirement age. In addition, SICO’s board of directors currently may elect to pay a Participant cash in lieu of shares of AIG Common Stock; however, in December 2005, SICO notified the Participants that it will settle future payouts under the SICO Plans with shares of AIG Common Stock rather than cash.
          The SICO board of directors administers the SICO Plans, without the input or advice of AIG, and may waive or amend the terms and conditions of the SICO Plans at any time without the approval of AIG.
          AIG has not received any cash or property in consideration of the granting of units under the SICO Plans.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
          Please note that in this section entitled “Description of Common Stock”, references to “AIG” refer only to American International Group, Inc., and not to its consolidated subsidiaries.
          AIG’s authorized capital stock includes 5,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of March 31, 2006, there were 2,597,469,137 shares of Common Stock outstanding.
General
          All of the outstanding shares of AIG’s Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable. Subject to the prior rights of the holders of shares of preferred stock that may be issued and outstanding, none of which are currently outstanding, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive:
  •  dividends when, as and if declared by AIG’s board of directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends (there are restrictions that apply under applicable insurance laws, however, to the payment of dividends to AIG by its insurance subsidiaries); and
 
  in the event of dissolution of AIG, to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and satisfaction of the liquidation preferences, if any, of then outstanding shares of preferred stock, as provided in AIG’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
          Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters presented to a vote at a shareholders meeting, including the election of directors. Holders of Common Stock have no cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any additional shares of Common Stock or other securities and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to the Common Stock. Additional authorized shares of Common Stock may be issued without shareholder approval.
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
          Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law applies to AIG. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes a merger, asset sale or a transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or, in certain cases, within the preceding three years, did own) 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock. Under Section 203, a business combination between AIG and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:
  before the stockholder became an interested stockholder, AIG’s board of directors must have approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
 
  on consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of AIG’s voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding, for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and officers; or
 
  the business combination is approved by AIG’s board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least 662/3 % of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
          SICO may use this prospectus in connection with the delivery of Plan Shares to the Selling Shareholders. No underwriter, dealer, broker or other sales agent will be used by SICO in effecting these deliveries.
          Shares of Common Stock may be sold from time to time by the Selling Shareholders, or by their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. Such sales may be made on the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or in negotiated transactions. Shares of Common Stock may be sold by the Selling Shareholders by one or more of the following:
  a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell such shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
  purchase of such shares by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus; and
 
  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers.
In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in the resales.
          Broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from Selling Shareholders in amounts to be negotiated in connection with the sales. Such broker-dealers and any other participating broker-dealers may be deemed to be “underwriters”, within the meaning of the Securities Act, in connection with such sales and any such commission, discount or concession may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.
          All costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares of Common Stock will be borne by AIG. Commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sales of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders will be borne by the Selling Shareholders.

Item 14.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
          The amended and restated certificate of incorporation of AIG provides that AIG shall indemnify to the full extent permitted by law any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, his or her testator or intestate is or was a director, officer or employee of AIG or serves or served any other enterprise at the request of AIG.

Section 145 also provides that the indemnification provided for therein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled.
          In addition, AIG and its subsidiaries maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.

In April 2004, AIG completed an exchange offer with respect to the notes and issued in exchange substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
          On September 22, 2005, Banque AIG, AIG-FP Matched Funding Corp. and AIG-FP Capital Funding Corp., each a direct subsidiary of AIG Financial Products Corp. (“AIG-FP”) and an indirect subsidiary of AIG, relaunched their Euro Medium-Term Note Programme originally established in 2002 and increased to US $10 billion from US $5 billion the aggregate nominal amount that may be outstanding at any one time under the new Euro Medium-Term Note Programme. The programme provides for an offering outside the United States through a dealer group consisting of Goldman Sachs International, Banco Santander Central Hispano, S.A., ABN AMRO Bank N.V., Banque AIG, London Branch, Barclays Bank, PLC, BNP Paribas, Citigroup Global Markets Limited, Deutsche Bank AG London, HSBC Bank plc, J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd., Morgan Stanley & Co.

In general, discounts or commissions were not paid in connection with these issuances, although the relevant dealer entered into related derivatives transactions with Banque AIG or an affiliate of

Banque AIG. The exemption for the offers and sales of these notes was the private offering exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation S under the Securities Act.
          AIG-FP, through its subsidiary, AIG Matched Funding Corp. (“Matched Funding”), and other of its finance subsidiaries, regularly sells structured notes and other debt securities guaranteed by AIG, in transactions exempt by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as part of a program designed to raise funds for the operations of AIG-FP and its subsidiaries and to provide opportunities for hedging and related activities. These notes are placed with institutional accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501(a) (1), (2), (3) or (7) and, to a much more limited extent, individual accredited investors. During the period from April 1, 2003 through March 31, 2006, an aggregate of approximately $6.47 billion of such debt securities (based on the offering proceeds) had been issued in this manner, of which approximately $6.01 billion were outstanding on March 31, 2006. In most cases, no discounts or commissions were paid to third party dealers in connection with these issuances. In cases where discounts or commissions were granted or paid to third party dealers, the amounts did not exceed 1% of the offering proceeds. The exemption for the offers and sales of these notes was the private offering exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
          Matched Funding maintains a program in which from time to time it enters into guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”), guaranteed by AIG, principally in order to accept the investment of funds by municipalities pursuant to the trust indentures relating to issuances of bonds by those municipalities. The GICs are generally negotiated with the adviser to the municipality in connection with specified projects and are non-transferable. During the period from March 1, 2003 through March 31, 2006, an aggregate of approximately $16.99 billion of GICs had been entered into, of which a total of approximately $10.31 billion of GICs were outstanding as of March 31, 2006. The offer and sale of the GICs and the related guarantees of AIG were exempt from registration under the Securities Act either because the GICs are not “securities” within the meaning of the Securities Act or, if “securities”, because the GICs and related guarantees were offered in private transactions pursuant to Section 4(2). The foregoing disclosure regarding the GICs should not be construed as an admission by AIG that the GICs or the related AIG guarantees issued under the program would be considered by the Commission or a court or other regulatory body to be “securities” for purposes of the Securities Act.
          On June 16, 2006, Matched Funding completed a Rule 144A offering of an aggregate of $2 billion of its Floating Rate Notes, consisting of $1 billion of Floating Rate (LIBOR) Notes Due December 17, 2007, $750 million of Floating Rate (Prime) Notes Due June 16, 2008 and $250 million of Floating Rate (LIBOR) Notes Due June 16, 2008. The notes are guaranteed by AIG. The notes were offered and sold to “Qualified Institutional Buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A) through Goldman, Sachs & Co. The notes were sold at an aggregate offering price of $2 billion.

Item 17. Undertakings
  (A) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
       (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
             (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
             (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any fact or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
             (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
         provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
       (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
       (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
       (4)  That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
  (B) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced in Item 14 of this registration statement, or otherwise, the registrant has

II-9


Table of Contents

  been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
