NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)


1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

    These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures that are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2010 (the 2009 Financial Statements). The condensed consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2009 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements not included herein.

    In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain the normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results presented herein. Interim period operating results may not be indicative of the operating results for a full year. AIG evaluated the need to disclose events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

    Certain reclassifications and disclosure changes have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. AIG considers its accounting policies that are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions, and therefore viewed as critical accounting estimates, to be those relating to items considered by management in the determination of:

    These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, AIG's consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows would be materially affected.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

Out of Period Adjustments

    For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, AIG recorded out of period adjustments relating to prior periods that decreased Net loss attributable to AIG by $166 million and increased Net loss attributable to AIG by $210 million, respectively, including certain tax adjustments for the three-month period and, for the nine-month period, the effect of recording impairments on certain consolidated investments held in the Institutional Asset Management operations, which affected the calculation of income taxes, and a foreign currency adjustment. While these adjustments were noteworthy for the periods, after evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these corrections, AIG concluded that its prior period financial statements were not materially misstated and, therefore, no restatement was required.

    Had these and all previously reported out of period adjustments been recorded in their appropriate periods, Net loss attributable to AIG for the year ended December 31, 2009 would have increased by $578 million, from $10.9 billion to $11.5 billion.


Going Concern Considerations

    In the audited financial statements included in the 2009 Financial Statements, management disclosed the conditions and events that led management to conclude that AIG would have adequate liquidity to finance and operate AIG's businesses, execute its asset disposition plan and repay its obligations for at least the next twelve months.

Progress on Management's Plans for Stabilization of AIG and Repayment of AIG's Obligations as They Come Due

    AIG has been working to protect and enhance the value of its key businesses, execute an orderly asset disposition plan, and position itself for the future. AIG continually reassesses this plan to maximize value while maintaining flexibility in managing its liquidity and capital.

Recapitalization

    On September 30, 2010, AIG entered into an agreement in principle (the Recapitalization Agreement in Principle) with the United States Department of the Treasury (Department of the Treasury), the FRBNY and the AIG Credit Facility Trust, a trust established for the sole benefit of the United States Treasury (together with its trustees, the Trust) for a recapitalization transaction (the Recapitalization). The Recapitalization Agreement in Principle contemplates the Recapitalization will be completed before the end of the first quarter of 2011. The principal terms of the Recapitalization will be as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

    These transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization are subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, whose terms may differ from those described above, and include the following material conditions:

Sales of Businesses and Specific Asset Dispositions

AIA Initial Public Offering

    During the second quarter of 2010, AIG and Prudential plc terminated the AIA purchase agreement entered during the first quarter of 2010, and in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement, Prudential plc paid AIG a termination fee of $228 million, which was included in Net loss (gain) on sale of divested businesses in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) during the second quarter of 2010. As a result of the termination, AIA is presented as part of continuing operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements (AIA was previously presented as discontinued operations upon the entry into the purchase agreement in the first quarter of 2010). See Note 2 herein for discussion of segment reporting presentation.

    On October 29, 2010, AIG completed an initial public offering of 8.08 billion ordinary shares of AIA for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $20.51 billion. Upon completion of the initial public offering, AIG owned approximately 33 percent of AIA's outstanding shares. Accordingly in the fourth quarter of 2010, AIG will deconsolidate AIA and expects to record a material gain on the transaction. See Note 16 herein for additional information. Under the terms of an agreement with the underwriters, AIG is precluded from selling or hedging

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)


any of its remaining shares of AIA until October 18, 2011 and more than half of its remaining shares of AIA until April 18, 2012. Based on AIG's significant continuing involvement, AIA is not being presented as a discontinued operation in the Consolidated Financial Statements at September 30, 2010. At October 29, 2010, the fair value of AIG's retained interest in AIA was approximately $11.8 billion.

    Under the Recapitalization Agreement in Principle, net cash proceeds from the AIA public offering will be held in escrow pending the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement in Principle. Upon the Closing, these cash proceeds will be loaned by AIA SPV to AIG and will be used to repay amounts owing under the FRBNY Credit Facility. If the transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement in Principle are not completed, AIG expects that the net proceeds would instead be used to pay down the liquidation preference of the AIA SPV Preferred Interests held by the FRBNY, including preferred returns. AIG expects that, unless otherwise agreed with the FRBNY, any excess would then be used to repay any outstanding debt under the FRBNY Credit Facility.

ALICO Sale

    On March 7, 2010, AIG and ALICO Holdings LLC (ALICO SPV), a special purpose vehicle formed by AIG, entered into a definitive agreement with MetLife, Inc. (MetLife) for the sale of American Life Insurance Company (ALICO) by ALICO SPV to MetLife, and the sale of Delaware American Life Insurance Company by AIG to MetLife, for consideration then valued at approximately $15.5 billion, consisting of $6.8 billion in cash and the remainder in equity securities of MetLife, subject to closing adjustments. The ALICO sale closed on November 1, 2010. The fair market value of the consideration at closing was approximately $16.2 billion.

    On the closing date, as consideration for the ALICO sale, ALICO SPV received net cash consideration of $7.2 billion (which included an upward price adjustment of approximately $400 million pursuant to the terms of the ALICO stock purchase agreement), 78,239,712 shares of MetLife common stock, 6,857,000 shares of newly issued MetLife participating preferred stock convertible into 68,570,000 shares of MetLife common stock upon the approval of MetLife shareholders, and 40,000,000 equity units of MetLife with an aggregate stated value of $3.0 billion. AIG intends to monetize these MetLife securities over time, subject to market conditions, following the lapse of agreed-upon minimum holding periods. AIG expects to record a material gain on the transaction in the fourth quarter.

    Under the Recapitalization Agreement in Principle, net cash proceeds from the ALICO sale will be held in escrow pending the Closing of the Recapitalization. Upon the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement in Principle, these cash proceeds will be loaned by ALICO SPV to AIG and will be used to repay amounts owing under the FRBNY Credit Facility. If the transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement in Principle are not completed, AIG expects that the cash proceeds would instead be paid to the FRBNY in its capacity as holder of preferred interests in ALICO SPV to reduce the aggregate outstanding liquidation preference of those preferred interests.

    Prior to conversion into MetLife common stock, the MetLife participating preferred stock will be entitled to dividends equivalent, on an as-converted basis, to those that may be declared from time to time on MetLife common stock.

    Each of the equity units of MetLife has an initial stated amount of $75 and consists of an ownership interest in three series of senior debt securities of MetLife and three stock purchase contracts with a weighted average life of approximately three years. The stock purchase contracts obligate the holder of an equity unit to purchase, and obligate MetLife to sell, a number of shares of MetLife common stock that will be determined based on the market price of MetLife common stock at the scheduled settlement dates under the stock purchase contracts (a minimum of 67,764,000 shares and a maximum of 84,696,000 shares in the aggregate for all equity units, subject to anti-dilution adjustments). The equity units provide for the remarketing of the senior debt securities to fund the purchase price of the MetLife common stock. They also entitle the holder to receive interest payments on the senior debt securities and deferrable contract payments at a combined rate equal to 5% of their stated amount.

The equity units have been placed in escrow as collateral to secure payments, if any, in respect of indemnity obligations owed by ALICO SPV to MetLife under the ALICO stock purchase agreement and other transaction agreements. The escrow collateral will be released to ALICO SPV over a 30-month period, to the extent not used to make indemnity payments or to secure pending indemnity claims submitted by MetLife.

AGF Sale

    On August 10, 2010, AIG entered into a definitive agreement to sell 80 percent of American General Finance Inc. (AGF) for $125 million. AIG will retain economic interests of 20 percent in the remaining AGF business and 16 percent of the voting rights. Based on other provisions of the sale, including lack of voting board representation, AIG will not have significant influence and therefore will carry AGF as a cost method investment. AGF has been reclassified as a discontinued operation as AIG is expected to have limited continuing involvement with AGF's operations. As a result of this transaction, AIG recorded an estimated pre-tax loss of approximately $1.9 billion in the third quarter of 2010. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2010, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

AIG Star and AIG Edison Sale

    On September 29, 2010, AIG entered into a definitive agreement with Prudential Financial, Inc. for the sale of its Japan-based insurance subsidiaries, AIG Star and AIG Edison, for total consideration of $4.8 billion, less the principal balance of certain outstanding debt owed by AIG Star and AIG Edison as of the closing date. As of September 30, 2010, the outstanding principal balance of the debt approximated $0.6 billion. In connection with the sale, AIG recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $1.3 billion in the third quarter of 2010. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2011, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

    See Note 3 for discussion of discontinued operations and Note 9 for a discussion of guarantees and indemnifications associated with sales of businesses.

Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries

    AIG manages liquidity at both the parent and subsidiary levels. AIG expects the parent's primary uses of available cash will be debt service and subsidiary funding.

    AIG expects that dividends, distributions, and other payments from subsidiaries will support AIG Parent's liquidity needs. The FRBNY Credit Facility is also expected to continue to be a source of liquidity until the Closing of the Recapitalization transaction, described more fully above, whereby AIG intends to fully repay and terminate the FRBNY Credit Facility. In addition, although the Department of the Treasury Commitment may also be used as a source of funding, primarily to support the capital needs of AIG's insurance company subsidiaries, AIG does not expect to utilize this Commitment for this purpose. Instead, AIG expects to use the Commitment as described under Repurchase and Exchange of the SPV Preferred Interests under Recapitalization above.

    In the event the Recapitalization does not close, AIG expects that the FRBNY Credit Facility and the Department of the Treasury Commitment will continue to be available under the existing terms and conditions to support AIG Parent's Liquidity needs.

    During the first nine months of 2010, ILFC made substantial progress in addressing its liquidity needs through a combination of new secured and unsecured debt issuances of approximately $8.8 billion and an extension of the maturity date of $2.16 billion of its $2.5 billion revolving credit facility from October 2011 to October 2012. Approximately $4.0 billion of the $4.4 billion in debt issued in the third quarter of 2010 was used to repay loans from AIG. AIG used the $4.0 billion received from ILFC to reduce the principal amount outstanding under the FRBNY Credit Facility. Availability of $318 million of debt issuances is subject to the satisfaction of certain

collateralization milestones. In addition, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, ILFC agreed to sell 64 aircraft to third parties, of which 59 aircraft, with an aggregate book value of approximately $2.6 billion, met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. These sales are expected to generate approximately $2.3 billion in gross proceeds during 2010. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, 35 of the 64 aircraft were sold, of which 31 had been classified as held for sale. At September 30, 2010, 28 aircraft were recorded in Assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the sales are expected to be completed for most of these aircraft during the remainder of 2010.

    Certain subsidiaries also have been dependent on the FRBNY and the Department of the Treasury (through AIG) to meet collateral posting requirements, to make debt repayments as amounts come due, and to meet capital or liquidity requirements. AIG expects that collateral posting requirements for AIG's Capital Markets business will continue to be reduced as that business continues to wind down.

    AIG Parent has not had access to its traditional sources of financing through the public debt markets since September 2008. AIG anticipates re-entering the long-term debt market in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Management's Assessment and Conclusion

    In assessing AIG's current financial position and developing operating plans for the future, management has made significant judgments and estimates with respect to the potential financial and liquidity effects of AIG's risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to:

18


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

    Based on the U.S. government's continuing commitment, the already completed transactions with the FRBNY, the closing of the AIA IPO and the sale of ALICO, management's plans and progress made to stabilize AIG's businesses and dispose of certain assets, and after consideration of the risks and uncertainties of such plans, management believes that it will have adequate liquidity to finance and operate AIG's businesses, execute its asset disposition plan and repay its obligations for at least the next twelve months.

    In connection with making the going concern assessment and conclusion, management and the Board of Directors of AIG confirmed in connection with the filing in February 2010 of the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K that "As first stated by the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve in connection with the announcement of the AIG Restructuring Plan on March 2, 2009, the U.S. Government remains committed to continuing to work with AIG to maintain its ability to meet its obligations as they come due."

    AIG's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or relating to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should AIG be unable to continue as a going concern.

    It is possible that the actual outcome of one or more of management's plans could be materially different, that one or more of management's significant judgments or estimates about the potential effects of these risks and uncertainties could prove to be materially incorrect and that AIG could fail to complete the Recapitalization. If one or more of these possible outcomes is realized and third party financing and existing liquidity sources, including those from the U.S. Government, are not sufficient, without continued support from the U.S. Government in the future there could exist substantial doubt about AIG's ability to continue as a going concern.


Accounting Policies

Transfers of Financial Assets

    Securities purchased (sold) under agreements to resell (repurchase), at contract value: Securities purchased under agreements to resell and Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (other than those entered into by Asset Management's Direct Investment business) generally are accounted for as collateralized borrowing or lending transactions and are recorded at their contracted resale or repurchase amounts plus accrued interest. AIG's Direct Investment business carries such agreements at fair value based on market observable interest rates and credit spreads. AIG's policy is to take possession of or obtain a security interest in securities purchased under agreements to resell.

    When AIG does not obtain cash collateral sufficient to fund substantially all of the cost of purchasing identical replacement securities during the term of the contract (generally less than 90 percent of the security value), AIG accounts for the transaction as a sale of the security and reports the obligation to repurchase the security as a derivative contract. Where securities are carried in the available for sale category, AIG records a gain or loss in income. Where changes in fair value of securities are recognized through income, no additional gain or loss is recognized. The fair value of securities transferred under repurchase agreements accounted for as sales was $2.5 billion and $2.3 billion at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and the related cash collateral obtained was $1.9 billion and $1.5 billion at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

    AIG minimizes the risk that counterparties to transactions might be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations by monitoring customer credit exposure and collateral value and generally requiring additional collateral to be deposited with AIG when necessary.

    Securities lending invested collateral, at fair value and Securities lending payable: In 2008, AIG exited the domestic securities lending program, and during the first quarter of 2010, AIG exited its foreign securities lending activities.


Recent Accounting Standards

Accounting Changes

    AIG adopted the following accounting standards during the first nine months of 2010:

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets

    In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standard addressing transfers of financial assets that removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE) from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and removes the exception that exempted transferors from applying the consolidation rules to QSPEs.

    The new standard was effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2010 for AIG. Earlier application was prohibited. The adoption of this standard increased both assets and liabilities by approximately $1.3 billion as a result of consolidating two previously unconsolidated QSPEs. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on AIG's consolidated results of operations or cash flows.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

    In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amends the rules addressing consolidation of certain variable interest entities with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly affect the entity's economic performance and has (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. The new standard also requires enhanced financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities.

The following table summarizes the two methods applied by AIG and the amount and classification in the Consolidated Balance Sheet of the assets and liabilities consolidated as a result of the adoption of the new standard on January 1, 2010:

    In February 2010, the FASB also issued an update to the aforementioned accounting standard that defers the revised consolidation rules for variable interest entities with attributes of, or similar to, an investment company or money market fund. The primary effect of this deferral for AIG is that AIG will continue to apply the consolidation rules in effect before the amended guidance discussed above for its interests in eligible entities, such as certain mutual funds.

Accounting for Embedded Credit Derivatives

    In March 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amends the accounting for embedded credit derivative features in structured securities that redistribute credit risk in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another. The new standard clarifies how to determine whether embedded credit derivative features, including those in collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), credit-linked notes (CLNs), synthetic CDOs and CLNs and other synthetic securities (e.g., commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities issued by securitization entities that wrote credit derivatives), are considered to be embedded derivatives that should be analyzed for potential bifurcation and separate accounting or, alternatively, for fair value accounting in connection with the application of the fair value option to the entire hybrid instrument. AIG adopted the new standard on July 1, 2010 and recorded a reclassification of $256 million of synthetic securities from Bonds available for sale to Bond trading securities and also reclassified a gain of $68 million from Accumulated other comprehensive income to Accumulated deficit as of July 1, 2010. Upon adoption, AIG accounts for its investments in synthetic securities otherwise requiring bifurcation at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


Future Application of Accounting Standards

Consolidation of Investments in Separate Accounts

    In April 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard that clarifies that an insurance company should not combine any investments held in separate account interests with its interest in the same investment held in its general account when assessing the investment for consolidation. Separate accounts represent funds for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to the policyholders who bear the investment risk. The standard also provides guidance on how an insurer should consolidate an investment fund in situations in which the insurer concludes that consolidation of an investment is required and the insurer's interest is through its general account in addition to any separate accounts. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2011 for AIG. Earlier application is permitted. AIG expects to adopt this new standard on January 1, 2011. AIG does not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts

    In October 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that amends the accounting for costs incurred by insurance companies that can be capitalized in connection with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. The new standard clarifies how to determine whether the costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify as deferred acquisition costs. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2012 with early adoption permitted. Prospective or retrospective application is permitted. AIG has not determined whether it will adopt this new standard prospectively or retrospectively and is currently assessing the effect of adoption of this new standard on its consolidated financial condition, and results of operations and cash flows.


2. Segment Information

    AIG reports the results of its operations through four reportable segments: General Insurance, Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services, Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services, and Financial Services. AIG evaluates performance based on pre-tax income (loss), excluding results from discontinued operations and net gains (losses) on sales of divested businesses, because AIG believes this provides more meaningful information on how its operations are performing.

    In order to align financial reporting with changes made during the third quarter of 2010 to the manner in which AIG's chief operating decision makers review the businesses to make decisions about resources to be allocated and to assess performance, the following changes were made to AIG's segment information.

    The remaining Capital Markets derivatives business continues to be reported in the Financial Services segment as part of Capital Markets results.

    Prior periods have been revised to conform with the current period presentation for the above changes.

3. Discontinued Operations and Held-for-Sale Classification

Discontinued Operations

Sales of Businesses

    As discussed in Note 1 herein, during the first quarter of 2010, AIG entered into an agreement to sell ALICO for approximately $15.5 billion and in the third quarter of 2010, AIG entered into agreements to sell 80 percent of AGF for $125 million and its entire interest in AIG Star and AIG Edison for $4.8 billion. AIG will retain economic interests of 20 percent in the remaining AGF business and 16 percent of the voting rights. Based on other provisions of the sale, including lack of voting board representation, AIG will not have significant influence and therefore will carry AGF as a cost method investment. AGF has been reclassified as a discontinued operation as AIG is expected to have limited continuing involvement with AGF's operations. AIG Star and AIG Edison have also been reclassified as discontinued operations.

    In the fourth quarter of 2009, AIG entered into an agreement to sell its 97.57 percent share of Nan Shan for approximately $2.15 billion. On August 31, 2010, the Taiwan Financial Supervisory Commission did not approve the sale of Nan Shan to the purchasers. Although the sale was not approved by regulatory authorities in Taiwan, AIG is pursuing other opportunities to divest Nan Shan and believes the proceeds from the sale of this business will approximate the amount agreed to in the fourth quarter of 2009. In addition, AIG believes it will complete the sale of Nan Shan within 12 months with similar terms and conditions. Therefore, AIG continues to classify Nan Shan as held-for-sale and as a discontinued operation. This is based on management's expressed intent to exit the life insurance market in Taiwan.

    The sale of ALICO closed on November 1, 2010 and AIG expects that the AGF sale will close by the end of 2010, and that the AIG Star and AIG Edison sales will close during the first quarter of 2011, in each case subject

to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Similarly, a sale of Nan Shan is expected to close within 12 months. Accordingly, the results of operations for these companies are presented as discontinued operations in AIG's Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) for all periods presented and the aggregated assets and liabilities are presented separately as single line items in the asset and liability sections of the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2010 and at December 31, 2009 for Nan Shan and September 30, 2010 for ALICO, AGF, AIG Star and AIG Edison. ALICO, Nan Shan, AIG Star and AIG Edison previously had been components of the Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services reportable segment and AGF previously had been a component of the Financial Services reportable segment.

    Certain other sales completed during 2010 and 2009 were not classified as discontinued operations because AIG continued to generate significant direct revenue-producing or cost-generating cash flows from the businesses sold or because associated assets, liabilities and results of operations were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to AIG's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Includes a goodwill impairment charge of $3.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 related to goodwill that had been allocated to ALICO as a consequence of ALICO's removal from the Japan and other operating segment. Also includes a goodwill impairment charge of $1.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 related to the sales of AIG Star and AIG Edison.

Interest Expense Allocation

    In accordance with the terms of the FRBNY Credit Facility, net proceeds from dispositions, after taking into account taxes and transaction expenses, to the extent such proceeds do not represent capital of AIG's insurance subsidiaries required for regulatory or ratings purposes, are contractually required to be applied toward the repayment of the FRBNY Credit Facility as mandatory prepayments unless otherwise agreed with the FRBNY. Mandatory prepayments reduce the amount available to be borrowed under the FRBNY Credit Facility by the same amount as the prepayment. In conjunction with anticipated prepayments, an allocation of interest expense, including periodic amortization of the prepaid commitment fee asset, is included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations in the table above.

26


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

    Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations does not currently give effect to the provisions of the Recapitalization Agreement in Principle discussed in Note 1, as these transactions are subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation. For this reason, no interest allocation to discontinued operations related to the ALICO proceeds was required as the original terms required that proceeds be used to reduce the liquidation preference of the SPV Preferred Interests owned by the FRBNY.

    The interest expense allocated to discontinued operations was based on the anticipated net proceeds from the sales of AGF, AIG Star, AIG Edison and Nan Shan multiplied by the daily interest rate on the FRBNY Credit Facility for each respective period. The periodic amortization of the prepaid commitment fee allocated to discontinued operations was determined based on the ratio of funds committed to repay the FRBNY Credit Facility to the total available amount under the FRBNY Credit Facility.

    If the Recapitalization is not completed, proceeds from the sale of ALICO will be used to reduce the liquidation preference of a portion of the preferred interests owned by the FRBNY in the special purpose vehicle holding ALICO.


Held-for-Sale Classification

    In the third quarter of 2009, AIG entered into an agreement to sell its investment advisory and third party asset management business for $277 million cash at closing plus contingent consideration to be received over time. Prior to the closing of this transaction in the first quarter of 2010, this business was a component of the Asset Management business included within Other operations. This transaction met the criteria for held-for-sale accounting, and the assets and liabilities of this businesses were included as single line items in the asset and liability sections of the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2009. This transaction did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations accounting because of a significant continuation of activities between AIG and the business sold.

    In the third quarter of 2009, AIG entered into an agreement to combine its consumer finance business in Poland, conducted through AIG Bank Polska S.A., into the Polish consumer finance business of Santander Consumer Finance S.A. (SCB). The transaction closed on June 8, 2010. In exchange, AIG received an equity interest in SCB. Prior to the closing of the transaction, AIG Bank Polska S.A. was a component of the Financial Services reporting segment. This transaction met the criteria for held-for-sale accounting and, as a result, the assets and liabilities of these businesses were included as single line items in the asset and liability sections of the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2009. This transaction did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations accounting because of the equity interest in SCB that AIG received in this transaction.

4. Business Combination

    On March 31, 2010, AIG, through a Chartis International subsidiary, purchased additional voting shares in Fuji Fire & Marine Insurance Company Limited (Fuji), a publicly traded Japanese insurance company with property/casualty insurance operations and a life insurance subsidiary. The acquisition of the additional voting shares for $145 million increased Chartis International's total voting ownership interest in Fuji from 41.7 percent to 54.8 percent, which resulted in Chartis International obtaining control of Fuji. This acquisition was made to increase Chartis International's share in the substantial Japanese insurance market, which is undergoing significant consolidation, and to achieve cost savings from synergies.

    The purchase was accounted for under the acquisition method. Because the acquisition was completed on March 31, 2010, the initial accounting for the acquisition was incomplete when AIG issued its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The initial purchase price allocation was based on financial information that was available at the time to identify and estimate certain of the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests of Fuji as of the acquisition date. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, Chartis International obtained additional information and revised the purchase price allocation, which included obtaining final appraisals of Fuji's insurance contracts, loans, certain real estate and intangible assets, and retrospectively adjusted the provisional amounts initially recorded. During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, adjustments to the previously reported purchase price allocation as of March 31, 2010 occurred as a result of new information that became known about market conditions in the life insurance industry in Japan that existed as of the acquisition date which, if known, would have reduced the amount recognized by Chartis International as of that date for the fair value of the business acquired (VOBA) of Fuji's life insurance subsidiary by approximately $132 million.

capital raising initiatives during this period in response to new regulatory solvency rules announced by the Japanese regulator prior to the acquisition date but not yet adopted indicated that market participants are managing to the target solvency margin ratios under the new solvency margin rules instead of the current solvency margin rules. As a result, Chartis International revised its target capital assumption in its VOBA calculation based on the new standard. In addition, Chartis International increased the previously reported purchase price allocation as of March 31, 2010 by approximately $11 million as a result of new information received during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 regarding certain assets and liabilities of Fuji.

    Additional adjustments to the purchase price allocation as of March 31, 2010 may occur if new information becomes known about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized as of that date.

The following table summarizes the estimated provisional fair values of major classes of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 31, 2010 as previously reported and the revised amounts:

    During the three months ended March 31, 2010, AIG reported that in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, Chartis International remeasured its equity interest in Fuji held prior to the acquisition of the additional shares to fair value, which resulted in a $25 million loss in the first quarter of 2010. The loss was recorded in Other realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss). The fair values of AIG's previously-held equity interest and the noncontrolling interest were based on Fuji's publicly-traded share price on the Tokyo Stock Exchange as of the acquisition date. Also during the first quarter of 2010, AIG reported that an insignificant amount of acquisition-related costs, consisting primarily of legal and transaction fees, was recorded in Other expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).

    During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, AIG reported that the acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain of approximately $406 million, which was included in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss). The adjustments to the revised purchase price allocation during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 reduced the bargain purchase gain by approximately $74 million ($121 million before deferred tax benefit of decrease in Fuji Life VOBA of $47 million) to $332 million. AIG will retrospectively revise its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 when presenting comparative financial information containing that period. Consequently, the bargain purchase gain is included in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, but no portion is included for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The bargain purchase gain is primarily attributable to the depressed market value of Fuji's common stock, which AIG believes is the result of macro-economic, capital market and regulatory factors in Japan coupled with Fuji's financial condition and results of operations. AIG anticipates that the bargain purchase gain will not be subject to U.S. or foreign income tax because the gain would only be recognized for tax purposes upon the sale of the Fuji shares.

The following table summarizes selected amounts from the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 (recast to present AIA as a continuing operation) revised to present the bargain purchase gain in that period:

    Fuji's financial information is reported to Chartis International on a quarter lag. Because the acquisition occurred on March 31, 2010, only revenue and earnings of Fuji for the three months ended June 30, 2010 are included in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

    AIG measures the following financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis:

    The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing, able and knowledgeable market participants at the measurement date.

    The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates with the level of pricing observability. Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments traded in other-than-active markets or those that do not have quoted prices have less observability and are measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing techniques that require more judgment. An active market is one in which transactions for the asset or liability being valued occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide

31


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)


pricing information on an ongoing basis. An other-than-active market is one in which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or in which little information is released publicly for the asset or liability being valued. Pricing observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to the transaction and general market conditions.


Fair Value Hierarchy

    Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are measured and classified in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes consisting of three "levels" based on the observability of inputs available in the marketplace used to measure the fair values as discussed below:

    The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments carried at fair value. These methodologies are applied to assets and liabilities across the levels noted above, and it is the observability of the inputs used that determines the appropriate level in the fair value hierarchy for the respective asset or liability.

Valuation Methodologies

Incorporation of Credit Risk in Fair Value Measurements

    A CDS is a derivative contract that allows the transfer of third party credit risk from one party to the other. The buyer of the CDS pays an upfront and/or annual premium to the seller. The seller's payment obligation is triggered by the occurrence of a credit event under a specified reference security and is determined by the loss on that specified reference security. The present value of the amount of the annual and/or upfront premium therefore represents a market-based expectation of the likelihood that the specified reference party will fail to perform on the reference obligation, a key market observable indicator of non-performance risk (the CDS spread).

    Fair values for fixed maturity securities based on observable market prices for identical or similar instruments implicitly incorporate counterparty credit risk. Fair values for fixed maturity securities based on internal models incorporate counterparty credit risk by using discount rates that take into consideration cash issuance spreads for similar instruments or other observable information.

    The cost of credit protection is determined under a discounted present value approach considering the market levels for single name CDS spreads for each specific counterparty, the mid market value of the net exposure (reflecting the amount of protection required) and the weighted average life of the net exposure. CDS spreads are provided to AIG by an independent third party. AIG utilizes an interest rate based on the benchmark London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) curve to derive its discount rates.

    While this approach does not explicitly consider all potential future behavior of the derivative transactions or potential future changes in valuation inputs, AIG believes this approach provides a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the assets and liabilities, including consideration of the impact of non-performance risk.

Fixed Maturity Securities — Trading and Available for Sale

    AIG maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Whenever available, AIG obtains quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure fixed maturity securities at fair value in its trading and available for sale portfolios. Market price data is generally obtained from dealer markets.

    Management is responsible for the determination of the value of the investments carried at fair value and the supporting methodologies and assumptions. AIG employs independent third-party valuation service providers to

33


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)


gather, analyze, and interpret market information and derive fair values based upon relevant methodologies and assumptions for individual instruments. When AIG's valuation service providers are unable to obtain sufficient market observable information upon which to estimate the fair value for a particular security, fair value is determined either by requesting brokers who are knowledgeable about these securities to provide a quote, which is generally non-binding, or by employing widely accepted internal valuation models.

    Valuation service providers typically obtain data about market transactions and other key valuation model inputs from multiple sources and, through the use of widely accepted internal valuation models, provide a single fair value measurement for individual securities for which a fair value has been requested under the terms of service agreements. The inputs used by the valuation service providers include, but are not limited to, market prices from recently completed transactions and transactions of comparable securities, benchmark yields, interest rate yield curves, credit spreads, currency rates, and other market-observable information, as applicable. The valuation models take into account, among other things, market observable information as of the measurement date as well as the specific attributes of the security being valued, including its term, interest rate, credit rating, industry sector, and when applicable, collateral quality and other security or issuer-specific information. When market transactions or other market observable data is limited, the extent to which judgment is applied in determining fair value is greatly increased.

    AIG has processes designed to ensure that the values received or internally estimated are accurately recorded and that the data inputs and the valuation techniques utilized are appropriate, consistently applied, and that the assumptions are reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value. AIG assesses the reasonableness of individual security values received from valuation service providers through various analytical techniques. In addition, AIG may validate the reasonableness of fair values by comparing information obtained from AIG's valuation service providers to other third-party valuation sources for selected securities. AIG also validates prices for selected securities obtained from brokers through reviews by members of management who have relevant expertise and who are independent of those charged with executing investing transactions.

    The methodology above is relevant for all fixed maturity securities; following are discussions of certain procedures unique to specific classes of securities.

Fixed Maturity Securities issued by Government Entities

    For most debt securities issued by government entities, AIG obtains fair value information from independent third-party valuation service providers, as quoted prices are generally only available for limited debt securities issued by government entities. The fair values received from these valuation service providers may be based on a market approach using matrix pricing, which considers a security's relationship to other securities for which a quoted price in an active market may be available, or alternatively based on an income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future cash flows to a single present value amount.

Fixed Maturity Securities issued by Corporate Entities

    For most debt securities issued by corporate entities, AIG obtains fair value information from third-party valuation service providers. For certain corporate debt instruments (for example, private placements) that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments generally are based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management's best estimate is used.

RMBS, CMBS, CDOs and other ABS

    Third-party valuation service providers also provide fair value information for the majority of AIG investments in RMBS, CMBS, CDOs and other ABS. Where pricing is not available from valuation service providers, AIG obtains fair value information from brokers. Broker prices may be based on an income approach, which converts expected future cash flows to a single present value amount, with specific consideration of inputs relevant to

34


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)


structured securities, including ratings, collateral types, geographic concentrations, underlying loan vintages, loan delinquencies, and weighted average coupons and maturities. Broker prices may also be based on a market approach that considers recent transactions involving identical or similar securities. When the volume or level of market activity for an investment in RMBS, CMBS, CDOs or other ABS is limited, certain inputs used to determine fair value may not be observable in the market.

Maiden Lane II and Maiden Lane III

    At their inception, ML II and ML III were valued and recorded at the transaction prices of $1 billion and $5 billion, respectively. Subsequently, the Maiden Lane Interests are valued using a discounted cash flow methodology that uses the estimated future cash flows of the Maiden Lane assets. AIG applies model-determined market discount rates to its interests. These discount rates are calibrated to the changes in the estimated asset values for the underlying assets commensurate with AIG's interests in the capital structure of the respective entities. Estimated cash flows and discount rates used in the valuations are validated, to the extent possible, using market observable information for securities with similar asset pools, structure and terms.

    The fair value methodology used assumes that the underlying collateral in the Maiden Lane Interests will continue to be held and generate cash flows into the foreseeable future and does not assume a current liquidation of the assets underlying the Maiden Lane Interests. Other methodologies employed or assumptions made in determining fair value for these investments could result in amounts that differ significantly from the amounts reported.

    Adjustments to the fair value of AIG's interest in ML II are recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) in Net investment income for AIG's Domestic Life Insurance companies. Adjustments to the fair value of AIG's interest in ML III are recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) in Net investment income and, beginning in the second quarter of 2009, were included in Other operations results, reflecting the contribution to an AIG subsidiary. Prior to the second quarter of 2009, such amounts had been included in Other Parent company results. AIG's Maiden Lane Interests are included in Bond trading securities, at fair value, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

    As of September 30, 2010, AIG expected to receive cash flows (undiscounted) in excess of AIG's initial investment, and any accrued interest, in the Maiden Lane Interests over the remaining life of the investments after repayment of the first priority obligations owed to the FRBNY. AIG's cash flow methodology considers the capital structure of the collateral securities and their expected credit losses from the underlying asset pools. The fair values of the Maiden Lane Interests are most affected by changes in the discount rates and changes in the underlying estimated future collateral cash flow assumptions used in the valuation model.

    The LIBOR interest rate curve changes are determined based on observable prices, interpolated or extrapolated to derive a LIBOR for a specific maturity term as necessary. The spreads over LIBOR for the Maiden Lane Interests (including collateral-specific credit and liquidity spreads) can change as a result of changes in market expectations about the future performance of these investments as well as changes in the risk premium that market participants would demand at the time of the transactions.

    Changes in estimated future cash flows would primarily be the result of changes in expectations for defaults, recoveries, and prepayments on underlying loans.

    AIG believes that the ranges of discount rates used in these analyses are reasonable based on implied spread volatilities of similar collateral securities and implied volatilities of LIBOR interest rates. The ranges of estimated future cash flows were determined based on variability in estimated future cash flows implied by cumulative loss estimates for similar instruments. Because of these factors, the fair values of the Maiden Lane Interests are likely to vary, perhaps materially, from the amount estimated.

Equity Securities Traded in Active Markets — Trading and Available for Sale

    AIG maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Whenever available, AIG obtains quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure at fair value marketable equity securities in its trading and available for sale portfolios. Market price data is generally obtained from exchange or dealer markets.

Direct Private Equity Investments — Other Invested Assets

    AIG initially estimates the fair value of equity instruments not traded in active markets, which includes direct private equity investments, by reference to the transaction price. This valuation is adjusted for changes in inputs and assumptions which are corroborated by evidence such as transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity capital markets, and/or changes in financial ratios or cash flows. For equity securities that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability and such adjustments generally are based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management's best estimate is used.

Hedge Funds, Private Equity Funds and Other Investment Partnerships — Other Invested Assets

    AIG initially estimates the fair value of investments in certain hedge funds, private equity funds and other investment partnerships by reference to the transaction price. Subsequently, AIG generally obtains the fair value of these investments from net asset value information provided by the general partner or manager of the investments, the financial statements of which are generally audited annually. AIG considers observable market data and performs diligence procedures in validating the appropriateness of using the net asset value as a fair value measurement.

Separate Account Assets

    Separate account assets are composed primarily of registered and unregistered open-end mutual funds that generally trade daily and are measured at fair value in the manner discussed above for equity securities traded in active markets.

Other Assets Measured at Fair Value

    Securities Purchased (Sold) under Agreements to Resell (Repurchase) — AIG estimates the fair value of receivables (payables) arising from securities purchased (sold) under agreements to resell (repurchase) using dealer quotations, discounted cash flow analyses and/or internal valuation models. This methodology considers such factors as the coupon rate, yield curves, prepayment rates and other relevant factors.

    Short-term Investments — For short-term investments that are measured at fair value, AIG obtains fair value information from independent third-party valuation service providers. The determination of fair value for these instruments is consistent with the process for fixed maturity securities, as discussed above.

    Loans Receivable — AIG estimates the fair value of mortgage and other loans receivable by using dealer quotations, discounted cash flow analyses and/or internal valuation models. The determination of fair value considers inputs such as interest rate, maturity, the borrower's creditworthiness, collateral, subordination, guarantees, past-due status, yield curves, credit curves, prepayment rates, market pricing for comparable loans and other relevant factors.

Freestanding Derivatives

    Derivative assets and liabilities can be exchange-traded or traded over-the-counter (OTC). AIG generally values exchange-traded derivatives using quoted prices in active markets for identical derivatives at the balance sheet date.

    OTC derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence whenever possible, including market-based inputs to models, model calibration to market clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. When models are used, the selection of a particular model to value an OTC derivative depends on the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. AIG generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices and rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC derivatives that trade in liquid markets, such as generic forwards, swaps and options, model inputs can generally be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means, and model selection does not involve significant management judgment.

    Certain OTC derivatives trade in less liquid markets with limited pricing information, and the determination of fair value for these derivatives is inherently more difficult. When AIG does not have corroborating market evidence to support significant model inputs and cannot verify the model to market transactions, the transaction price is initially used as the best estimate of fair value. Accordingly, when a pricing model is used to value such an instrument, the model is adjusted so the model value at inception equals the transaction price. Subsequent to initial recognition, AIG updates valuation inputs when corroborated by evidence such as similar market transactions, third party pricing services and/or broker or dealer quotations, or other empirical market data. When appropriate, valuations are adjusted for various factors such as liquidity, bid/offer spreads and credit considerations. Such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management's best estimate is used.

Embedded Policy Derivatives

    The fair value of embedded policy derivatives contained in certain variable annuity and equity-indexed annuity and life contracts is measured based on actuarial and capital market assumptions related to projected cash flows over the expected lives of the contracts. These cash flow estimates primarily include benefits and related fees assessed, when applicable, and incorporate expectations about policyholder behavior. Estimates of future policyholder behavior are subjective and based primarily on AIG's historical experience. With respect to embedded policy derivatives in AIG's variable annuity contracts, because of the dynamic and complex nature of the expected cash flows, risk neutral valuations are used. Estimating the underlying cash flows for these products involves many estimates and judgments, including those regarding expected market rates of return, market volatility, correlations of market index returns to funds, fund performance, discount rates and policyholder behavior. With respect to embedded policy derivatives in AIG's equity-indexed annuity and life contracts, option pricing models are used to estimate fair value, taking into account assumptions for future equity index growth rates, volatility of the equity index, future interest rates, and determinations on adjusting the participation rate and the cap on equity indexed credited rates in light of market conditions and policyholder behavior assumptions. These methodologies incorporate an explicit risk margin to take into consideration market participant estimates of projected cash flows and policyholder behavior.

AIGFP's Super Senior Credit Default Swap Portfolio

    AIGFP values AIGFP's CDS transactions written on the super senior risk layers of designated pools of debt securities or loans using internal valuation models, third-party price estimates and market indices. The principal market was determined to be the market in which super senior credit default swaps of this type and size would be transacted, or have been transacted, with the greatest volume or level of activity. AIG has determined that the principal market participants, therefore, would consist of other large financial institutions who participate in sophisticated over-the-counter derivatives markets. The specific valuation methodologies vary based on the nature of the referenced obligations and availability of market prices.

    The valuation of the super senior credit derivatives is challenging given the limitation on the availability of market observable information due to the lack of trading and price transparency in the structured finance market. These market conditions have increased the reliance on management estimates and judgments in arriving at an estimate of fair value for financial reporting purposes. Further, disparities in the valuation methodologies employed by market participants and the varying judgments reached by such participants when assessing volatile markets have increased the likelihood that the various parties to these instruments may arrive at significantly different estimates as to their fair values.

    AIG's valuation methodologies for the super senior credit default swap portfolio have evolved over time in response to market conditions and the availability of market observable information. AIG has sought to calibrate the methodologies to available market information and to review the assumptions of the methodologies on a regular basis.

    Regulatory capital portfolio: In the case of credit default swaps written to facilitate regulatory capital relief, AIG estimates the fair value of these derivatives by considering observable market transactions. The transactions with the most observability are the early terminations of these transactions by counterparties. AIG continues to reassess the expected maturity of the portfolio. AIGFP has not been required to make any payments as part of terminations initiated by counterparties. The regulatory benefit of these transactions for AIGFP's financial institution counterparties is generally derived from the terms of the Capital Accord of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel I) that existed through the end of 2007 and which is in the process of being replaced by the Revised Framework for the International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel II). It was expected that financial institution counterparties would have transitioned from Basel I to Basel II by the end of the two-year adoption period on December 31, 2009, after which they would have received little or no additional regulatory benefit from these

38

CDS transactions, except in a small number of specific instances. However, the Basel Committee announced that it had agreed to keep in place the Basel I capital floors beyond the end of 2009, although it remains to be seen how this extension will be implemented by the various European Central Banking districts. Should certain counterparties continue to receive favorable regulatory capital benefits from these transactions, those counterparties may not exercise their options to terminate the transactions in the expected time frame. In assessing the fair value of the regulatory capital CDS transactions, AIG also considers other market data, to the extent relevant and available. For further discussion, see Note 8 herein.

    Multi-sector CDO portfolios: AIG uses a modified version of the Binomial Expansion Technique (BET) model to value AIGFP's credit default swap portfolio written on super senior tranches of multi-sector collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) of ABS, including maturity-shortening puts that allow the holders of the securities issued by certain CDOs to treat the securities as short-term 2a-7 eligible investments under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (2a-7 Puts). The BET model was developed in 1996 by a major rating agency to generate expected loss estimates for CDO tranches and derive a credit rating for those tranches, and remains widely used.

    AIG has adapted the BET model to estimate the price of the super senior risk layer or tranche of the CDO. AIG modified the BET model to imply default probabilities from market prices for the underlying securities and not from rating agency assumptions. To generate the estimate, the model uses the price estimates for the securities comprising the portfolio of a CDO as an input and converts those estimates to credit spreads over current LIBOR-based interest rates. These credit spreads are used to determine implied probabilities of default and expected losses on the underlying securities. This data is then aggregated and used to estimate the expected cash flows of the super senior tranche of the CDO.

    Prices for the individual securities held by a CDO are obtained in most cases from the CDO collateral managers, to the extent available. CDO collateral managers provided market prices for 62.7 percent of the underlying securities used in the valuation at September 30, 2010. When a price for an individual security is not provided by a CDO collateral manager, AIG derives the price through a pricing matrix using prices from CDO collateral managers for similar securities. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used principally to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the relationship of the security to other benchmark quoted securities. Substantially all of the CDO collateral managers who provided prices used dealer prices for all or part of the underlying securities, in some cases supplemented by third-party pricing services.

    The BET model also uses diversity scores, weighted average lives, recovery rates and discount rates. AIG employs a Monte Carlo simulation to assist in quantifying the effect on the valuation of the CDO of the unique aspects of the CDO's structure such as triggers that divert cash flows to the most senior part of the capital structure. The Monte Carlo simulation is used to determine whether an underlying security defaults in a given simulation scenario and, if it does, the security's implied random default time and expected loss. This information is used to project cash flow streams and to determine the expected losses of the portfolio.

    In addition to calculating an estimate of the fair value of the super senior CDO security referenced in the credit default swaps using its internal model, AIG also considers the price estimates for the super senior CDO securities provided by third parties, including counterparties to these transactions, to validate the results of the model and to determine the best available estimate of fair value. In determining the fair value of the super senior CDO security referenced in the credit default swaps, AIG uses a consistent process which considers all available pricing data points and eliminates the use of outlying data points. When pricing data points are within a reasonable range an averaging technique is applied.

    Corporate debt/Collateralized loan obligation (CLO) portfolios: In the case of credit default swaps written on portfolios of investment-grade corporate debt, AIG uses a mathematical model that produces results that are closely aligned with prices received from third parties. This methodology is widely used by other market participants and uses the current market credit spreads of the names in the portfolios along with the base correlations implied by the current market prices of comparable tranches of the relevant market traded credit

indices as inputs. One transaction, representing two percent of the total notional amount of the corporate arbitrage transactions, is valued using third party quotes given its unique attributes.

    AIG estimates the fair value of its obligations resulting from credit default swaps written on CLOs to be equivalent to the par value less the current market value of the referenced obligation. Accordingly, the value is determined by obtaining third-party quotes on the underlying super senior tranches referenced under the credit default swap contract.

Policyholder Contract Deposits

    Policyholder contract deposits accounted for at fair value are measured using an earnings approach by taking into consideration the following factors:

    The change in fair value of these policyholder contract deposits is recorded as Policyholder benefits and claims incurred in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).

Securities and Spot Commodities Sold But Not Yet Purchased

    Fair values for securities sold but not yet purchased are based on current market prices. Fair values of spot commodities sold but not yet purchased are based on current market prices of reference spot futures contracts traded on exchanges.

Other Long-Term Debt

    When fair value accounting has been elected, the fair value of non-structured liabilities is generally determined by using market prices from exchange or dealer markets, when available, or discounting expected cash flows using the appropriate discount rate for the applicable maturity. Such instruments are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as substantially all inputs are readily observable. AIG determines the fair value of structured liabilities and hybrid financial instruments (where performance is linked to structured interest rates, inflation or currency risks) using the appropriate derivative valuation methodology (described above) given the nature of the embedded risk profile. Such instruments are classified in Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of significant inputs to the model. In addition, adjustments are made to the valuations of both non-structured and structured liabilities to reflect AIG's own credit worthiness based on observable credit spreads of AIG.

Transfers of Level 1 and Level 2 Assets and Liabilities

    Assets are transferred out of Level 1 when they are no longer transacted with sufficient frequency and volume in an active market. During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, AIG transferred certain assets from Level 1 to Level 2, including approximately $193 million and $264 million, respectively, of investments in U.S. government and government sponsored entities. Conversely, assets are transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 when transaction volume and frequency are indicative of an active market. AIG had no significant transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010.


Changes in Level 3 Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Included within purchases, sales, issuances and settlements-net is approximately $210 million transferred from bonds available for sale to bond trading securities for the three- and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2010.

(d)
Transfers for the three months ended September 30, 2010 are comprised of gross transfers into Level 3 assets and liabilities of $2.7 billion and gross transfers out of Level 3 assets and liabilities of $1.7 billion. Transfers for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are comprised of gross transfers into Level 3 assets and liabilities of $6.5 billion and gross transfers out of Level 3 assets and liabilities of $5.7 billion. AIG's policy is to record transfers of assets and liabilities into or out of Level 3 at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. As a result, the Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) included in income or other comprehensive income and as shown in the table above exclude $29.3 million of net gains related to assets and liabilities transferred into Level 3 during the three months ended September 30, 2010, and include $35.6 million of net gains related to assets and liabilities transferred out of Level 3 during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and exclude $23.6 million of net losses related to assets and liabilities transferred into Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and include $176.0 million of net gains related to assets and liabilities transferred out of Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

    Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3 in the tables above. As a result, the unrealized gains (losses) on instruments held at September 30, 2010 and 2009 may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable inputs (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable inputs (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities).

    AIG's policy is to transfer assets and liabilities into Level 3 when a significant input cannot be corroborated with market observable data. This may include: circumstances in which market activity has dramatically decreased and transparency to underlying inputs cannot be observed, current prices are not available, and substantial price variances in quotations among market participants exist.

    In certain cases, the inputs used to measure the fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. AIG's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment. In making the assessment, AIG considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

    During the three- nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, AIG transferred into Level 3 approximately $2.7 billion and $5.7 billion, respectively, of assets consisting of certain ABS, CMBS and RMBS, as well as private placement corporate debt, certain municipal bonds related to affordable housing partnerships and investment partnerships. The transfers into Level 3 related to investments in ABS, RMBS and CMBS were due to a decrease in market transparency, downward credit migration and an overall increase in price disparity for certain individual security types. Transfers into Level 3 for private placement corporate debt were primarily the result of AIG overriding third party matrix pricing information downward to better reflect the additional risk premium associated with those securities that AIG believes was not captured in the matrix. Certain municipal bonds were transferred into Level 3 based on limited market activity for the particular issuances and related limitations on observable inputs for their valuation. Investment partnerships transferred into Level 3 were primarily comprised of certain hedge funds with limited market activity due to fund-imposed redemption restrictions.

    Assets are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that significant inputs can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity for the asset, a specific event, one or more significant input(s) becoming observable, or when a long-term interest rate significant to a valuation becomes short-term and thus observable. During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, AIG transferred approximately $1.6 billion and $4.5 billion, respectively, of assets out of Level 3. These transfers out of Level 3 are primarily related to investments in private placement corporate debt, investments in certain ABS, RMBS, CMBS and CDOs and certain investment partnerships. Transfers out of Level 3 for private placement corporate debt and for ABS were primarily the result of AIG using observable pricing information or a third party pricing quote that appropriately reflects the fair value of those securities, without the need for adjustment based on AIG's own assumptions regarding the characteristics of a specific security or the current liquidity in the market. Transfers out of Level 3 for RMBS investments were primarily due to increased usage of pricing from valuation service providers that were reflective of market activity, where previously an internally adjusted price had been used. Similarly, transfers out of Level 3 for CMBS and CDO investments backed by corporate credits were primarily the result of AIG using observable pricing information or a third party pricing quote that appropriately reflects the fair value of those securities, without the need for adjustment based on AIG's own assumptions regarding the characteristics of a specific security or the current liquidity in the market. Transfers out of Level 3 for both the CMBS and CDO investments were primarily due to increased observations of market transactions and price information for those securities. Certain investment partnerships were transferred out of Level 3 primarily due to the availability of information related to the underlying assets of these funds.

    AIG had no significant transfers into Level 3 liabilities during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, AIG transferred into Level 3 approximately $810 million of liabilities, primarily related to term notes and hybrid term notes, as well as certain derivatives. Term notes and hybrid term notes were transferred into Level 3 primarily due to an unobservable credit linked component comprising a significant amount of the valuations. As AIG provides net presentation of carrying values for its derivative positions in the table above, transfers out of Level 3 liabilities, which totaled approximately $129 million and $1.2 billion for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively, primarily relate to certain derivative assets transferred into Level 3 due to the lack of observable inputs on certain interest rate swaps. Other transfers out of Level 3 liabilities were due to movement in market variables.

    AIG uses various hedging techniques to manage risks associated with certain positions, including those classified within Level 3. Such techniques may include the purchase or sale of financial instruments that are classified within Level 1 and/or Level 2. As a result, the realized and unrealized gains (losses) for assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 presented in the table above do not reflect the related realized or unrealized gains (losses) on hedging instruments that are classified within Level 1 and/or Level 2.

Investments in Certain Entities Carried at Fair Value Using Net Asset Value per Share

The following table includes information related to AIG's investments in certain other invested assets, including private equity funds, hedge funds and other alternative investments that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). For these investments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis, AIG uses the net asset value per share as a practical expedient for fair value.

    At September 30, 2010, private equity fund investments included above are not redeemable during the lives of the funds, and have expected remaining lives that extend in some cases more than 10 years. At that date, 37 percent of the total above had expected remaining lives of less than three years, 41 percent between 3 and 7 years, and 22 percent between 7 and 10 years. Expected lives are based upon legal maturity, which can be extended at the fund manager's discretion, typically in one-year increments.

    At September 30, 2010, hedge fund investments included above are redeemable monthly (20 percent), quarterly (49 percent), semi-annually (4 percent) and annually (27 percent), with redemption notices ranging from 1 day to 180 days. More than 85 percent require redemption notices of less than 90 days. Investments representing approximately 68 percent of the value of the hedge fund investments cannot be redeemed, either in whole or in part, because the investments include various restrictions. The majority of these restrictions were put in place in 2008, and do not have stated end dates. The remaining restrictions, which have pre-defined end dates, are generally expected to be lifted by the end of 2012. The partial restrictions relate to certain hedge funds that hold at least one investment that the fund manager deems to be illiquid. In order to treat investors fairly and to accommodate subsequent subscription and redemption requests, the fund manager isolates these illiquid assets from the rest of the fund until the assets become liquid.

    At September 30, 2010, global real estate fund investments included above are not redeemable during the lives of the funds, and have expected remaining lives that extend in some cases more than 10 years. At that date, 58 percent of these funds had expected remaining lives of less than three years, 14 percent between 3 and 7 years, and 28 percent between 7 and 10 years. Expected lives are based upon legal maturity, which can be extended at the fund manager's discretion, typically in one-year increments.


Fair Value Measurements on a Non-Recurring Basis

    AIG also measures the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis, generally quarterly, annually, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. These assets include cost and equity-method investments, life settlement contracts, flight equipment primarily under operating leases, collateral securing foreclosed loans and real estate and other fixed assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets. AIG uses a variety of techniques to measure the fair value of these assets when appropriate, as described below:

    Impairment charges shown above for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 exclude a $3.3 billion goodwill impairment charge associated with the then-pending sale of ALICO and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 excludes a $1.3 billion goodwill impairment charge associated with the pending sale of AIG Star and AIG Edison, all of which are reported in discontinued operations.

    During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, AIG recognized goodwill impairment charges primarily in the Institutional Asset Management business. These impairment charges related to a significant decline in certain consolidated warehoused investments as well as the consideration of recent transaction activity. AIG also recognized impairment charges related to certain investment real estate, proprietary real estate, private equity investments and other long-lived assets.

    The fair value disclosed in the table above is unadjusted for transaction costs. The amounts recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet are net of transaction costs.

AIG elected to apply the fair value option to a certain investment-linked life insurance product sold principally in Asia, classified within policyholder contract deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. AIG elected the fair value option for these liabilities to more closely align its accounting with the economics of its transactions. The election more effectively aligns changes in the fair value of assets with a commensurate change in the fair value of policyholders' liabilities.

(b)
Excludes businesses held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Also excluded from the table above were gains of $2.1 billion and $67 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and gains of $2.8 billion and $1.2 billion for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, that were primarily due to changes in the fair value of derivatives, trading securities and certain other invested assets for which the fair value option was not elected. Included in these amounts were unrealized market valuation gains of $152 million and $959 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and unrealized market valuation gains of $432 million and $1.1 billion for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to Capital Markets' super senior credit default swap portfolio.

    Interest income and expense and dividend income on assets and liabilities elected under the fair value option are recognized and classified in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) depending on the nature of the instrument and related market conventions. For Direct Investment business-related activity, interest, dividend income, and interest expense are included in Other income. Otherwise, interest and dividend income are included in Net investment income in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss). Gains and losses on AIG's Maiden Lane interests are recorded in Net investment income. See Note 1(a) to the Consolidated Financial Statements of AIG's 2009 Financial Statements for additional information about AIG's policies for recognition, measurement, and disclosure of interest and dividend income and interest expense.

    During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, AIG recognized a loss of $226 million and of $452 million, respectively, and during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, AIG recognized a loss of $430 million and a gain of $194 million, respectively, attributable to the observable effect of changes in credit spreads on AIG's own liabilities for which the fair value option was elected. AIG calculates the effect of these credit spread changes using discounted cash flow techniques that incorporate current market interest rates, AIG's observable credit spreads on these liabilities and other factors that mitigate the risk of nonperformance such as collateral posted.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

    At September 30, 2010, AIG held 4,603 and 768 of individual fixed maturity and equity securities, respectively, that were in an unrealized loss position, of which 3,216 individual securities were in a continuous unrealized loss position for longer than twelve months.

    AIG did not recognize in earnings the unrealized losses on these fixed maturity securities at September 30, 2010, because management neither intends to sell the securities nor does it believe that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Furthermore, management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. In performing this evaluation, management considered the recovery periods for securities in previous periods of broad market declines. For fixed maturity securities with significant declines, management performed fundamental credit analysis on a security-by-security basis, which included consideration of credit enhancements, expected defaults on underlying collateral, review of relevant industry analyst reports and forecasts and other available market data.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

    For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, the aggregate fair value of available for sale securities sold at a loss was $1.0 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively, which resulted in net realized capital losses of $84 million and $191 million, respectively. The average period of time that securities sold at a loss during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 were trading continuously at a price below cost or amortized cost was approximately five months.


Evaluating Investments for Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

    On April 1, 2009, AIG adopted a new accounting standard on a prospective basis addressing the evaluation of fixed maturity securities for other-than-temporary impairments. These requirements significantly altered AIG's policies and procedures for determining impairment charges recognized through earnings. The standard requires a company to recognize the credit component (a credit impairment) of an other-than-temporary impairment of a fixed maturity security in earnings and the non-credit component in Accumulated other comprehensive income when the company does not intend to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the company will not be required to sell the security prior to recovery. The standard also changes the threshold for determining when an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on a fixed maturity security with respect to intent and ability to hold the security until recovery and requires additional disclosures. A credit impairment, which is recognized in earnings when it occurs, is the difference between the amortized cost of the fixed maturity security and the estimated present value of cash flows expected to be collected (recovery value), as determined by management. The difference between fair value and amortized cost that is not related to a credit impairment is recognized as a separate component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). AIG refers to both credit impairments and impairments recognized as a result of intent to sell as "impairment charges." The impairment model for equity securities was not affected by the standard.

Impairment Policy — Effective April 1, 2009 and Thereafter

    If AIG intends to sell a fixed maturity security or it is more likely than not that AIG will be required to sell a fixed maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and the fair value of the security is below amortized cost, an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred and the amortized cost is written down to current fair value, with a corresponding charge to earnings.

    For all other fixed maturity securities for which a credit impairment has occurred, the amortized cost is written down to the estimated recovery value with a corresponding charge to earnings. Changes in fair value compared to recovery value, if any, are charged to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of fixed maturity investments on which other-than-temporary credit impairments were taken (a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)).

    When assessing AIG's intent to sell a fixed maturity security, or whether it is more likely than not that AIG will be required to sell a fixed maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, management evaluates relevant facts and circumstances including, but not limited to, decisions to reposition AIG's investment portfolio, sales of securities to meet cash flow needs and sales of securities to capitalize on favorable pricing.

    AIG considers severe price declines and the duration of such price declines in its assessment of potential credit impairments.

    In periods subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment charge that is not foreign exchange related for available for sale fixed maturity securities, AIG generally prospectively accretes into earnings over the remaining expected holding period of the security the difference between the new amortized cost and the expected undiscounted recovery value.

(b)
Represents accretion recognized due to changes in cash flows expected to be collected over the remaining expected term of the credit impaired securities as well as the accretion due to the passage of time.

    In assessing whether a credit impairment has occurred for a structured fixed maturity security, AIG performs evaluations of expected future cash flows. Certain critical assumptions are made with respect to the performance of the securities.

    When estimating future cash flows for a structured fixed maturity security (e.g. RMBS, CMBS, CDO, ABS) management considers historical performance of underlying assets and available market information as well as bond-specific structural considerations, such as credit enhancement and priority of payment structure of the security. In addition, the process of estimating future cash flows includes, but is not limited to, the following critical inputs, which vary by asset class:

    For corporate, municipal and sovereign fixed maturity securities determined to be credit impaired, management considers the fair value as the recovery value when available information does not indicate that another value is more relevant or reliable. When management identifies information that supports a recovery value other than the fair value, the determination of a recovery value considers scenarios specific to the issuer and the security, and may be based upon estimates of outcomes of corporate restructurings, political and macro economic factors, stability and financial strength of the issuer, the value of any secondary sources of repayment and the disposition of assets.

Equity Securities

    The impairment model for equity securities and other cost and equity method investments was not affected by the adoption of the new accounting standard related to other-than-temporary impairments in the second quarter of 2009. AIG continues to evaluate its available for sale equity securities, equity method and cost method investments for impairment by considering such securities as candidates for other-than-temporary impairment if they meet any of the following criteria:

    The determination that an equity security is other-than-temporarily impaired requires the judgment of management and consideration of the fundamental condition of the issuer, its near-term prospects and all the relevant facts and circumstances. The above criteria also consider circumstances of a rapid and severe market valuation decline in which AIG could not reasonably assert that the impairment period would be temporary (severity losses).

Other Invested Assets

    AIG's investments in funds and investment partnerships are evaluated for impairment consistent with the evaluation of equity securities for impairments as discussed above. Such evaluation considers market conditions, events and volatility that may impact the recoverability of the underlying investments within these funds and investment partnerships and is based on the nature of the underlying investments and specific inherent risks. Such risks may evolve based on the nature of the underlying investments.

    AIG's investments in life settlement contracts are monitored for impairment based on the underlying life insurance policies, with cash flows reported monthly. An investment in a life settlement contract is considered impaired if the undiscounted cash flows resulting from the expected proceeds from the insurance policy are less than the carrying amount of the investment plus anticipated continuing costs. If an impairment loss is recognized, the investment is written down to fair value.

    AIG's aircraft asset investments and investments in real estate are periodically evaluated for recoverability whenever changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may be impaired. When impairment indicators are present, AIG compares expected investment cash flows to carrying value. When the expected cash flows are less than the carrying value, the investments are written down to fair value with a corresponding charge to earnings.

Fixed Maturity Securities Impairment Policy — Prior to April 1, 2009

    In all periods prior to April 1, 2009, AIG assessed its ability to hold any fixed maturity available for sale security in an unrealized loss position to its recovery at each balance sheet date. The decision to sell any such fixed maturity security classified as available for sale reflected the judgment of AIG's management that the security sold was unlikely to provide, on a relative value basis, as attractive a return in the future as alternative securities entailing comparable risks. With respect to distressed securities, the sale decision reflected management's judgment that the risk-adjusted ultimate recovery was less than the value achievable on sale.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

    In those periods, AIG evaluated its fixed maturity securities for other-than-temporary impairments with respect to valuation as well as credit.

    After a fixed maturity security had been identified as other-than-temporarily impaired, the amount of such impairment was determined as the difference between fair value and amortized cost and the entire amount was recorded as a charge to earnings.


7. Variable Interest Entities

    The accounting standards related to the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs) provide guidance for determining when to consolidate certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity that is at risk to allow the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. Consolidation of a VIE by its primary beneficiary is not based on majority voting interest, but rather is based on other criteria.

    While AIG enters into various arrangements with VIEs in the normal course of business, AIG's involvement with VIEs is primarily as a passive investor in debt securities (rated and unrated) and equity interests issued by VIEs via its insurance companies. In all instances, AIG determines whether it is the primary beneficiary or a variable interest holder based on a qualitative assessment of the VIE. This includes a review of the VIE's capital structure, contractual relationships and terms, nature of the VIE's operations and purpose, nature of the VIE's interests issued, and AIG's involvements with the entity. AIG also evaluates the design of the VIE and the related risks the entity was designed to expose the variable interest holders to in evaluating consolidation.

    For VIEs with attributes consistent with that of an investment company or a money market fund, the primary beneficiary is the party or group of related parties that absorbs a majority of the expected losses of the VIE, receives the majority of the expected residual returns of the VIE, or both.

    For all other variable interest entities, the primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the entity's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. While also considering these factors, the consolidation conclusion depends on the breadth of AIG's decision-making ability and its ability to influence activities that significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE.


Exposure to Loss

    AIG's total off-balance sheet exposure associated with VIEs, primarily consisting of financial guarantees and commitments to real estate and investment funds, was $1.5 billion and $2.2 billion at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

    AIG calculates its maximum exposure to loss to be (i) the amount invested in the debt or equity of the VIE, (ii) the notional amount of VIE assets or liabilities where AIG has also provided credit protection to the VIE with the VIE as the referenced obligation, and (iii) other commitments and guarantees to the VIE. Interest holders in VIEs sponsored by AIG generally have recourse only to the assets and cash flows of the VIEs and do not have recourse to AIG, except in limited circumstances when AIG has provided a guarantee to the VIE's interest holders.

    See Note 1 herein for effect of consolidation under the amended accounting standard for the consolidation of variable interest entities.

RMBS, CMBS, Other ABS and CDOs

    AIG, through its insurance company subsidiaries, is a passive investor in RMBS, CMBS, CDOs and other ABS primarily issued by domestic special-purpose entities. AIG did not sponsor or transfer assets to, or act as the servicer to these asset-backed structures, and was not involved in the design of these entities.

    AIG, through its Direct Investment subsidiaries, also invests in CDOs and similar structures, which can be cash-based or synthetic and are managed by third parties. The role of Direct Investment subsidiaries is generally limited to that of a passive investor. They do not manage such structures.

    AIG's maximum exposure in these types of structures is limited to its investment in securities issued by these entities. Based on the nature of AIG's investments and its passive involvement in these types of structures, AIG has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these entities. The fair values of AIG's investments in these structures are reported in Notes 5 and 6 herein.

    See Notes 5, 6 and 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of AIG's 2009 Financial Statements for additional information on VIEs and asset-backed securities.


8. Derivatives and Hedge Accounting

    AIG uses derivatives and other financial instruments as part of its financial risk management programs and as part of its investment operations. AIGFP had also transacted in derivatives as a dealer and had acted as an intermediary between the relevant AIG subsidiary and the counterparty. AIG is replacing AIGFP with AIG Markets for purposes of acting as an intermediary between the AIG subsidiary and the third-party counterparty as part of its wind-down of AIGFP.

    Derivatives are financial arrangements among two or more parties with returns linked to or "derived" from some underlying equity, debt, commodity or other asset, liability, or foreign exchange rate or other index or the occurrence of a specified payment event. Derivative payments may be based on interest rates, exchange rates, prices of certain securities, commodities, or financial or commodity indices or other variables. Derivatives, with the exception of bifurcated embedded derivatives, are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in Unrealized gain on swaps, options and forward transactions, at fair value and Unrealized loss on swaps, options and forward contracts, at fair value. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are recorded with the host contract on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Hedge Accounting

    AIG designated certain derivatives entered into by AIGFP and AIG Markets with third parties as either fair value or cash flow hedges of certain debt issued by AIG Parent, ILFC and AGF. The fair value hedges included (i) interest rate swaps that were designated as hedges of the change in the fair value of fixed rate debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate and (ii) foreign currency swaps designated as hedges of the change in fair value of foreign currency denominated debt attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates and in certain cases also the benchmark interest rate. With respect to the cash flow hedges, (i) interest rate swaps were designated as hedges of the changes in cash flows on floating rate debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate, and (ii) foreign currency swaps were designated as hedges of changes in cash flows on foreign currency denominated debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate and foreign exchange rates.

    AIG assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. Regression analysis is employed to assess the effectiveness of these hedges both on a prospective and retrospective basis. AIG does not utilize the shortcut method to assess hedge effectiveness. For net investment hedges, the matched terms method is utilized to assess hedge effectiveness.

    AIG uses debt instruments in net investment hedge relationships to mitigate the foreign exchange risk associated with AIG's non-U.S. dollar functional currency foreign subsidiaries. AIG assesses the hedge effectiveness and measures the amount of ineffectiveness for these hedge relationships based on changes in spot exchange rates. AIG records the change in the carrying amount of these investments in the foreign currency translation adjustment within Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Simultaneously, the effective portion of the hedge of this exposure is also recorded in foreign currency translation adjustment and the ineffective portion, if any, is recorded in earnings. If (1) the notional amount of the hedging debt instrument matches the designated portion of the net investment and (2) the hedging debt instrument is denominated in the same currency as the functional currency of the hedged net investment, no ineffectiveness is recorded in earnings. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, AIG recognized gains (losses) of $(37) million and $22 million, respectively, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, AIG recognized gains (losses) of $24 million and $(73) million, respectively, included in Foreign currency translation adjustment in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the net investment hedge relationships.

Capital Markets Derivatives

    AIGFP enters into derivative transactions to mitigate risk in its exposures (interest rates, currencies, commodities, credit and equities) arising from its transactions. In most cases, AIGFP did not hedge its exposures related to the credit default swaps it had written. As a dealer, AIGFP structured and entered into derivative transactions to meet the needs of counterparties who may be seeking to hedge certain aspects of such counterparties' operations or obtain a desired financial exposure.

    Capital Markets' derivative transactions involving interest rate swap transactions generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payment obligations without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. AIGFP typically became a principal in the exchange of interest payments between the parties and, therefore, is exposed to counterparty credit risk and may be exposed to loss, if counterparties default. Currency, commodity, and equity swaps are similar to interest rate swaps, but involve the exchange of specific currencies or cash flows based on the underlying commodity, equity securities or indices. Also, they may involve the exchange of notional amounts at the beginning and end of the transaction. Swaptions are options where the holder has the right but not the obligation to enter into a swap transaction or cancel an existing swap transaction.

    AIGFP follows a policy of minimizing interest rate, currency, commodity, and equity risks associated with investment securities by entering into offsetting positions, on a security by security basis within its derivatives portfolio, thereby offsetting a significant portion of the unrealized appreciation and depreciation. In addition, to reduce its credit risk, AIGFP has entered into credit derivative transactions with respect to $433 million of securities to economically hedge its credit risk.

    The timing and the amount of cash flows relating to Capital Markets' foreign exchange forwards and exchange traded futures and options contracts are determined by each of the respective contractual agreements.

    Futures and forward contracts are contracts that obligate the holder to sell or purchase foreign currencies, commodities or financial indices in which the seller/purchaser agrees to make/take delivery at a specified future date of a specified instrument, at a specified price or yield. Options are contracts that allow the holder of the option to purchase or sell the underlying commodity, currency or index at a specified price and within, or at, a specified period of time. As a writer of options, AIGFP generally receives an option premium and then manages the risk of any unfavorable change in the value of the underlying commodity, currency or index by entering into offsetting transactions with third-party market participants. Risks arise as a result of movements in current market prices from contracted prices, and the potential inability of the counterparties to meet their obligations under the contracts.

Capital Markets Super Senior Credit Default Swaps

    AIGFP entered into credit default swap transactions with the intention of earning revenue on credit exposure. In the majority of Capital Markets' credit default swap transactions, AIGFP sold credit protection on a designated portfolio of loans or debt securities. Generally, AIGFP provides such credit protection on a "second loss" basis, meaning that AIGFP would incur credit losses only after a shortfall of principal and/or interest, or other credit events, in respect of the protected loans and debt securities, exceeds a specified threshold amount or level of "first losses."

    Typically, the credit risk associated with a designated portfolio of loans or debt securities has been tranched into different layers of risk, which are then analyzed and rated by the credit rating agencies. At origination, there is usually an equity layer covering the first credit losses in respect of the portfolio up to a specified percentage of the total portfolio, and then successive layers ranging generally from a BBB-rated layer to one or more AAA-rated layers. A significant majority of AIGFP transactions that were rated by rating agencies had risk layers or tranches rated AAA at origination and are immediately junior to the threshold level above which AIGFP's payment obligation would generally arise. In transactions that were not rated, AIGFP applied equivalent risk criteria for setting the threshold level for its payment obligations. Therefore, the risk layer assumed by AIGFP

with respect to the designated portfolio of loans or debt securities in these transactions is often called the "super senior" risk layer, defined as a layer of credit risk senior to one or more risk layers rated AAA by the credit rating agencies, or if the transaction is not rated, structured to the equivalent thereto.

As a result, a $202 million loss, which was previously included in the fair value derivative liability as an unrealized market valuation loss, was realized. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, AIGFP also paid $60 million to its counterparty with respect to multi-sector CDOs. Upon payment, a $60 million loss, which was previously included in the fair value derivative liability as an unrealized market valuation loss, was realized.

(e)
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, AIGFP terminated super senior CDS transactions with its counterparties with a net notional amount of $9.3 billion, included in Corporate debt/CLOs. These transactions were terminated at approximately their fair value at the time of the termination. As a result, an $83 million loss, which was previously included in the fair value derivative liability as an unrealized market valuation loss, was realized. Corporate debt/CLOs also includes $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion in net notional amount of credit default swaps written on the super senior tranches of CLOs at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

    All outstanding CDS transactions for regulatory capital purposes and the majority of the arbitrage portfolio have cash-settled structures in respect of a basket of reference obligations, where AIGFP's payment obligations, other than for posting collateral, may be triggered by payment shortfalls, bankruptcy and certain other events such as write-downs of the value of underlying assets. For the remainder of the CDS transactions in respect of the arbitrage portfolio, AIGFP's payment obligations are triggered by the occurrence of a credit event under a single reference security, and performance is limited to a single payment by AIGFP in return for physical delivery by the counterparty of the reference security.

    The expected weighted average maturity of AIGFP's super senior credit derivative portfolios as of September 30, 2010 was 0.4 years for the regulatory capital corporate loan portfolio, 3.5 years for the regulatory capital prime residential mortgage portfolio, 5.0 years for the regulatory capital other portfolio, 6.4 years for the multi-sector CDO arbitrage portfolio and 4.5 years for the corporate debt/CLO portfolio.

Regulatory Capital Portfolio

    The regulatory capital portfolio represents derivatives written for financial institutions in Europe, for the purpose of providing regulatory capital relief rather than for arbitrage purposes. In exchange for a periodic fee, the counterparties receive credit protection with respect to a portfolio of diversified loans they own, thus reducing their minimum capital requirements. These CDS transactions were structured with early termination rights for counterparties allowing them to terminate these transactions at no cost to AIGFP at a certain period of time or upon a regulatory event such as the implementation of Basel II. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, $61.6 billion in net notional amount was terminated or matured at no cost to AIGFP. Through October 29, 2010, AIGFP had also received termination notices for an additional $16.1 billion in net notional amount with effective termination dates in 2010.

    The regulatory capital relief CDS transactions require cash settlement and, other than for collateral posting, AIGFP is required to make a payment in connection with a regulatory capital relief transaction only if realized credit losses in respect of the underlying portfolio exceed AIGFP's attachment point.

    All of the regulatory capital transactions directly or indirectly reference tranched pools of large numbers of whole loans that were originated by the financial institution (or its affiliates) receiving the credit protection, rather than structured securities containing loans originated by other third parties. In the vast majority of transactions, the loans are intended to be retained by the originating financial institution and in all cases the originating financial institution is the purchaser of the CDS, either directly or through an intermediary.

    The super senior tranches of these CDS transactions continue to be supported by high levels of subordination, which, in most instances, have increased since origination. The weighted average subordination supporting the prime residential mortgage and corporate loan referenced portfolios at September 30, 2010 was 13.16 percent and 15.79 percent, respectively. The highest realized losses to date in any single residential mortgage and corporate loan pool were 2.58 percent and 0.52 percent, respectively. The corporate loan transactions are each comprised of several hundred secured and unsecured loans diversified by industry and, in some instances, by country, and have per-issuer concentration limits. Both types of transactions generally allow some substitution and replenishment of loans, subject to defined constraints, as older loans mature or are prepaid. These replenishment rights generally expire within the first few years of the trade, after which the proceeds of any prepaid or maturing loans are applied first to the super senior tranche (sequentially), thereby increasing the relative level of subordination supporting the balance of AIGFP's super senior CDS exposure.

    Given the current performance of the underlying portfolios, the level of subordination and AIGFP's own assessment of the credit quality of the underlying portfolio, as well as the risk mitigants inherent in the transaction structures, AIGFP does not expect that it will be required to make payments pursuant to the contractual terms of those transactions providing regulatory relief. AIGFP's continues to reassess the expected maturity of this portfolio. As of September 30, 2010, AIGFP estimated that the weighted average expected maturity of the portfolio was 2.18 years. AIGFP has not been required to make any payments as part of terminations initiated by

counterparties. The regulatory benefit of these transactions for AIGFP's financial institution counterparties is generally derived from the terms of Basel I that existed through the end of 2007 and which is in the process of being replaced by Basel II. It was expected that financial institution counterparties would have transitioned from Basel I to Basel II by the end of the two-year adoption period on December 31, 2009, after which they would have received little or no additional regulatory benefit from these CDS transactions, except in a small number of specific instances. However, in 2009, the Basel Committee announced that it had agreed to keep in place the Basel I capital floors beyond the end of 2009, although it remains to be seen how this extension will be implemented by the various European Central Banking districts. Should certain counterparties continue to receive favorable regulatory capital benefits from these transactions, those counterparties may not exercise their options to terminate the transactions in the expected time frame.

Arbitrage Portfolio

    The arbitrage portfolio includes arbitrage-motivated transactions written on multi-sector CDOs or designated pools of investment grade senior unsecured corporate debt or CLOs.

    The outstanding multi-sector CDO portfolio at September 30, 2010 was written on CDO transactions (including synthetic CDOs) that generally held a concentration of RMBS, CMBS and inner CDO securities. At September 30, 2010, approximately $3.3 billion net notional amount (fair value liability of $2.0 billion) of this portfolio was written on super senior multi-sector CDOs that contain some level of sub-prime RMBS collateral, with a concentration in the 2005 and earlier vintages of sub-prime RMBS. AIGFP's portfolio also included both high grade and mezzanine CDOs.

    The majority of multi-sector CDO CDS transactions require cash settlement and, other than for collateral posting, AIGFP is required to make a payment in connection with such transactions only if realized credit losses in respect of the underlying portfolio exceed AIGFP's attachment point. In the remainder of the portfolio, AIGFP's payment obligations are triggered by the occurrence of a credit event under a single reference security, and performance is limited to a single payment by AIGFP in return for physical delivery by the counterparty of the reference security.

    Included in the multi-sector CDO portfolio are 2a-7 Puts. Holders of securities are required, in certain circumstances, to tender their securities to the issuer at par. If an issuer's remarketing agent is unable to resell the securities so tendered, AIGFP must purchase the securities at par so long as the security has not experienced a payment default or certain bankruptcy events with respect to the issuer of such security have not occurred. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there were $385 million and $1.6 billion, respectively, of net notional amount of 2a-7 Puts issued by AIGFP outstanding. During the third quarter of 2010, $423 million of net notional amount of 2a-7 Puts were terminated. AIGFP is not a party to any commitments to issue any additional 2a-7 Puts.

    ML III has agreed not to exercise its put option on multi-sector CDOs or simultaneously to exercise its put option with a corresponding par purchase of the multi-sector CDOs with respect to the $138 million notional amount of multi-sector CDOs held by ML III with 2a-7 Puts that may be exercised on or prior to December 31, 2010 and $73 million notional amount of multi-sector CDOs held by ML III with 2a-7 Puts that may be exercised on or prior to April 30, 2011. In addition, there are $174 million notional amount of multi-sector CDOs held by ML III with 2a-7 Puts that may not be exercised on or prior to December 31, 2010, for which ML III has only agreed not to exercise its put option on multi-sector CDOs or simultaneously to exercise its put option with a corresponding par purchase of the multi-sector CDOs through December 31, 2010. In exchange, AIGFP has agreed to pay to ML III the consideration that it receives for providing the put protection. Additionally, ML III has agreed that if it sells any such multi-sector CDO with a 2a-7 Put to a third-party purchaser, such sale will be conditioned upon, among other things, such third-party purchaser agreeing that until the legal final maturity date of such multi-sector CDO it will not exercise its put option on such multi-sector CDO or it will make a corresponding par purchase of such multi-sector CDO simultaneously with the exercise of its put option. In

exchange for such commitment from the third-party purchaser, AIGFP will agree to pay to such third-party purchaser the consideration that it receives for providing the put protection.

    ML III has agreed to assist AIGFP in efforts to mitigate or eliminate AIGFP's obligations under such 2a-7 Puts relating to multi-sector CDOs held by ML III prior to the expiration of ML III's obligations with respect to such multi-sector CDOs. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, AIGFP was successful, with the cooperation of ML III, in eliminating AIGFP's obligations under such 2a-7 Puts in respect of ML III's holdings of 2a-7 Puts securities with put dates during the period, with the exception of one transaction with a net notional amount of approximately $138 million for which no such elimination is permitted by the terms of the transaction agreement. To the extent that ML III has not sold such multi-sector CDO to a third party who has committed not to exercise its put option on such multi-sector CDO or to make a corresponding par purchase of such multi-sector CDO simultaneously with the exercise of its put option then, upon the expiration of ML III's aforementioned obligations with respect to such multi-sector CDO, AIGFP will be obligated under the related 2a-7 Put to purchase such multi-sector CDO at par in the circumstances and subject to the limited conditions contained in the applicable agreements.

    The corporate arbitrage portfolio consists principally of CDS transactions written on portfolios of senior unsecured corporate obligations that were generally rated investment grade at inception of the CDS. These CDS transactions require cash settlement. Also, included in this portfolio are CDS transactions with a net notional amount of $1.5 billion written on the senior part of the capital structure of CLOs, which require physical settlement.

    Certain of the super senior credit default swaps provide the counterparties with an additional termination right if AIG's rating level falls to BBB or Baa2. At that level, counterparties to the CDS transactions with a net notional amount of $6.1 billion at September 30, 2010 have the right to terminate the transactions early. If counterparties exercise this right, the contracts provide for the counterparties to be compensated for the cost to replace the transactions, or an amount reasonably determined in good faith to estimate the losses the counterparties would incur as a result of the termination of the transactions.

    Due to long-term maturities of the CDS in the arbitrage portfolio, AIG is unable to make reasonable estimates of the periods during which any payments would be made. However, the net notional amount represents the maximum exposure to loss on the super senior credit default swap portfolio.

Collateral

    Most of AIGFP's super senior credit default swaps are subject to collateral posting provisions, which typically are governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) Master Agreements (Master Agreements) and related Credit Support Annexes (CSA). These provisions differ among counterparties and asset classes. AIGFP has received collateral calls from counterparties in respect of certain super senior credit default swaps, of which a large majority relate to multi-sector CDOs. To a lesser extent, AIGFP has also received collateral calls in respect of certain super senior credit default swaps entered into by counterparties for regulatory capital relief purposes and in respect of corporate arbitrage.

    The amount of future collateral posting requirements is a function of AIG's credit ratings, the rating of the reference obligations and the market value of the relevant reference obligations, with the latter being the most significant factor. While a high level of correlation exists between the amount of collateral posted and the valuation of these contracts in respect of the arbitrage portfolio, a similar relationship does not exist with respect to the regulatory capital portfolio given the nature of how the amount of collateral for these transactions is determined. Given the severe market disruption, lack of observable data and the uncertainty of future market price movements, AIGFP is unable to reasonably estimate the amounts of collateral that it may be required to post in the future.

71

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

    At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the amounts of collateral postings with respect to AIGFP's super senior credit default swap portfolio (prior to offsets for other transactions) were $3.9 billion and $4.6 billion, respectively.

AIGFP Written Single Name Credit Default Swaps

    AIGFP has also entered into credit default swap contracts referencing single-name exposures written on corporate, index, and asset-backed credits, with the intention of earning spread income on credit exposure. Some of these transactions were entered into as part of a long short strategy allowing AIGFP to earn the net spread between CDS it wrote and ones they purchased. At September 30, 2010, the net notional amount of these written CDS contracts was $1.7 billion. AIGFP has hedged these exposures by purchasing offsetting CDS contracts of $260 million in net notional amount. The net unhedged position of approximately $1.4 billion represents the maximum exposure to loss on these CDS contracts. The average maturity of the written CDS contracts is 6.71 years. At September 30, 2010, the fair value of derivative liability (which represents the carrying value) of the portfolio of CDS was $164 million.

    Upon a triggering event (e.g., a default) with respect to the underlying credit, AIGFP would normally have the option to settle the position through an auction process (cash settlement) or pay the notional amount of the contract to the counterparty in exchange for a bond issued by the underlying credit obligor (physical settlement).

    AIGFP wrote these written CDS contracts under Master Agreements. The majority of these Master Agreements include CSA, which provide for collateral postings at various ratings and threshold levels. At September 30, 2010, AIGFP had posted $175 million of collateral under these contracts.

All Other Derivatives

    AIG's non-Capital Markets businesses also use derivatives and other instruments as part of their financial risk management programs. Interest rate derivatives (such as interest rate swaps) are used to manage interest rate risk associated with investments in fixed income securities, outstanding medium- and long-term notes, and other interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. In addition, foreign exchange derivatives (principally foreign exchange forwards and options) are used to economically mitigate risk associated with non-U.S. dollar denominated debt, net capital exposures and foreign exchange transactions. The derivatives are effective economic hedges of the exposures they are meant to offset.

    In addition to hedging activities, AIG also uses derivative instruments with respect to investment operations, which include, among other things, credit default swaps, and purchasing investments with embedded derivatives, such as equity linked notes and convertible bonds.

Matched Investment Program Written Credit Default Swaps

    AIG's MIP operations, which are reported in AIG's Other operations category as part of Asset Management — Direct Investment business, are currently in run-off. Through the MIP, AIG has entered into CDS contracts as a writer of protection, with the intention of earning spread income on credit exposure in an unfunded form. The portfolio of CDS contracts were single-name exposures and, at inception, were predominantly high grade corporate credits.

    These contracts were written through AIG Markets, which then transacted directly with unaffiliated third parties under ISDA agreements. As of September 30, 2010, the notional amount of written CDS contracts was $3.9 billion with an average credit rating of BBB+. At that date, the average maturity of the written CDS contracts was 1.7 years and the fair value of the derivative liability (which represents the carrying value) of the MIP's written CDS was $53 million.

    The majority of the ISDA agreements include CSA provisions, which provide for collateral postings at various ratings and threshold levels. At September 30, 2010, $21 million of collateral was posted for CDS contracts related

72

to the MIP. The notional amount represents the maximum exposure to loss on the written CDS contracts. However, due to the average investment grade rating and expected default recovery rates, actual losses are expected to be less.

    Upon a triggering event (e.g., a default) with respect to the underlying credit, AIG Markets would normally have the option to settle the position on behalf of the MIP through an auction process (cash settlement) or pay the notional amount of the contract to the counterparty in exchange for a bond issued by the underlying credit (physical settlement).

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

    AIG transacts in derivative transactions directly with unaffiliated third parties under ISDA agreements. Many of the ISDA agreements also include CSA provisions, which provide for collateral postings at various ratings and threshold levels. In addition, AIG attempts to reduce credit risk with certain counterparties by entering into agreements that enable collateral to be obtained from a counterparty on an upfront or contingent basis.

    The aggregate fair value of AIG's derivative instruments, including those of AIGFP, that contain credit risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position at September 30, 2010 was approximately $6.8 billion. The aggregate fair value of assets posted as collateral under these contracts at September 30, 2010 was $6.5 billion.

    It is estimated that at September 30, 2010, based on AIG's outstanding financial derivative transactions, including those of AIGFP at that date, a one-notch downgrade of AIG's long-term senior debt ratings to Baa1 by Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) and BBB+ by Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (S&P), would permit counterparties to make additional collateral calls and permit the counterparties to elect early termination of contracts, resulting in up to approximately $1.2 billion of corresponding collateral postings and termination payments; a two-notch downgrade to Baa2 by Moody's and BBB by S&P would result in approximately $1.2 billion in additional collateral postings and termination payments above the one-notch downgrade amount; and a three-notch downgrade to Baa3 by Moody's and BBB- by S&P would result in approximately $0.2 billion in additional collateral postings and termination payments above the two-notch downgrade amount. Additional collateral postings upon downgrade are estimated based on the factors in the individual collateral posting provisions of the CSA with each counterparty and current exposure as of September 30, 2010. Factors considered in estimating the termination payments upon downgrade include current market conditions, the complexity of the derivative transactions, historical termination experience and other observable market events such as bankruptcy and downgrade events that have occurred at other companies. Management's estimates are also based on the assumption that counterparties will terminate based on their net exposure to AIG. The actual termination payments could significantly differ from management's estimates given market conditions at the time of downgrade and the level of uncertainty in estimating both the number of counterparties who may elect to exercise their right to terminate and the payment that may be triggered in connection with any such exercise.

Hybrid Securities with Embedded Credit Derivatives

    AIG has certain investments in synthetic structured securities, including certain RMBS, CMBS, CDOs and other ABS, that contain embedded written credit derivatives. These hybrid securities expose AIG to risks similar to the risks in other RMBS, CMBS, CDOs and ABS, but such risk is derived from credit default swaps or similar derivative instruments rather than from direct interests in mortgages and other debt instruments. As with other investments in RMBS, CMBS, CDOs and other ABS, AIG invested in these hybrid securities with the intent of generating income, and not specifically to acquire exposure to embedded derivative risk. The original cash investment made by AIG was used by the entity that issued the hybrid security to invest in eligible investments that are generally highly rated and serve as collateral for the credit default swap or similar derivative instrument written by the issuing entity. Similar to AIG's other investments in RMBS, CMBS, CDOs and ABS, AIG's

73


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)


investments in the hybrid securities with embedded written credit derivatives are exposed to losses only up to the amount of AIG's initial investment in the hybrid security, as losses on the credit default swap or other derivative instrument will be paid by via the collateral held by the entity that issues the hybrid security. Losses on the embedded credit default swaps may be triggered by events such as bankruptcy, failure to pay or restructuring associated with the obligations referenced by the derivative, and these losses in turn result in the reduction of the principal amount to be repaid to AIG and other investors in the hybrid securities. Other than AIG's initial investment in the hybrid securities, AIG has no further obligation to make payments on the embedded credit derivatives in the related hybrid securities.

    Effective July 1, 2010, AIG elected to account for its investments in these hybrid securities with embedded written credit derivatives at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Through June 30, 2010, these hybrid securities had been accounted for as available for sale securities, and had been subject to other than temporary impairment accounting as applicable.

    AIG's investments in hybrid securities, such as RMBS, CMBS, CDOs and other ABS, that contain embedded written credit derivatives, which are accounted for at fair value, are reported as Bond trading securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of these hybrid securities was $142 million at September 30, 2010. These securities have a current par amount of $630 million and have remaining stated maturity dates that extend to 2056.


9. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

    In the normal course of business, various commitments and contingent liabilities are entered into by AIG and certain of its subsidiaries. In addition, AIG guarantees various obligations of certain subsidiaries.

    Although AIG cannot currently quantify its ultimate liability for unresolved litigation and investigation matters including those referred to below, it is possible that such liability could have a material adverse effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition or its consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows for an individual reporting period.


(a) Litigation and Regulatory Matters

    Overview.    AIG and its subsidiaries, in common with the insurance and financial services industries in general, are subject to litigation, including claims for punitive damages, in the normal course of their business. In AIG's insurance operations (including United Guaranty Corporation (UGC)), litigation arising from claims settlement activities is generally considered in the establishment of AIG's liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense. However, the potential for increasing jury awards and settlements makes it difficult to assess the ultimate outcome of such litigation. AIG is also subject to derivative, class action and other claims asserted by its shareholders and others alleging, among other things, breach of fiduciary duties by its directors and officers and violations of federal and state securities laws.

    Various federal, state and foreign regulatory and governmental agencies have been reviewing certain public disclosures, transactions and practices of AIG and its subsidiaries in connection with, among other matters, AIG's liquidity concerns, payments by AIG subsidiaries to non-U.S. persons and industry-wide and other inquiries including matters relating to compensation paid to employees and payments made to AIGFP counterparties. These reviews included investigations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with respect to the valuation of AIGFP's multi-sector CDO super senior credit default swap portfolio under fair value accounting rules, and the adequacy of AIG's enterprise risk management processes with respect to AIG's exposure to the U.S. residential mortgage market, and disclosures relating thereto. There was also an investigation by the U.K. Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and an inquiry by the U.K. Financial Services Authority (FSA) with respect to the U.K. operations of AIGFP. On May 21, 2010, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) informed AIG that it had determined not to initiate any criminal proceedings against AIG, AIGFP or any of its current or former employees. On June 3, 2010, the SFO informed AIG that it had terminated its investigation without initiating any

74

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)


criminal or civil proceedings. On June 16, 2010, the SEC informed AIG that it had concluded its investigation and determined not to bring civil charges against AIG or any of its current or former employees. On June 30, 2010, the FSA informed AIG that it had terminated its investigation without any enforcement action. AIG has cooperated, and will continue to cooperate, in producing documents and other information in response to subpoenas and other requests.

    Although the specific SEC investigations discussed above have been resolved, AIG cannot predict whether Wells notices will be sent to employees or former employees with respect to any other investigation. Under SEC procedures, a Wells notice is an indication that the SEC staff has made a preliminary decision to recommend enforcement action that provides recipients with an opportunity to respond to the SEC staff before a formal recommendation is finalized.

AIG's Subprime Exposure, Capital Markets Credit Default Swap Portfolio and Related Matters

    AIG, AIGFP and certain directors and officers of AIG, AIGFP and other AIG subsidiaries have been named in various actions relating to AIG's exposure to the U.S. residential subprime mortgage market, unrealized market valuation losses on AIGFP's super senior credit default swap portfolio, losses and liquidity constraints relating to AIG's securities lending program and related disclosure and other matters (Subprime Exposure Issues).

    Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation.    Between May 21, 2008 and January 15, 2009, eight purported securities class action complaints were filed against AIG and certain directors and officers of AIG and AIGFP, AIG's outside auditors, and the underwriters of various securities offerings in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the Southern District of New York), alleging claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) or claims under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act). On March 20, 2009, the Court consolidated all eight of the purported securities class actions as In re American International Group, Inc. 2008 Securities Litigation (the Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation).

    On May 19, 2009, lead plaintiff in the Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation filed a consolidated complaint on behalf of purchasers of AIG stock during the alleged class period of March 16, 2006 through September 16, 2008, and on behalf of purchasers of various AIG securities offered pursuant to AIG's shelf registration statements. The consolidated complaint alleges that defendants made statements during the class period in press releases, AIG's quarterly and year-end filings, during conference calls, and in various registration statements and prospectuses in connection with the various offerings that were materially false and misleading and that artificially inflated the price of AIG's stock. The alleged false and misleading statements relate to, among other things, the Subprime Exposure Issues. The consolidated complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act. On August 5, 2009, defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated complaint, and on September 27, 2010 the Court denied the motions to dismiss.

    ERISA Actions — Southern District of New York.    Between June 25, 2008, and November 25, 2008, AIG, certain directors and officers of AIG, and members of AIG's Retirement Board and Investment Committee were named as defendants in eight purported class action complaints asserting claims on behalf of participants in certain pension plans sponsored by AIG or its subsidiaries. On March 19, 2009, the Court consolidated these eight actions as In re American International Group, Inc. ERISA Litigation II. On June 26, 2009, lead plaintiffs' counsel filed a consolidated amended complaint. The action purports to be brought as a class action under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) on behalf of all participants in or beneficiaries of certain benefit plans of AIG and its subsidiaries that offered shares of AIG's common stock. In the consolidated amended complaint, plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary responsibilities to plan participants and their beneficiaries under ERISA, by continuing to offer the AIG Stock Fund as an investment option in the plans after it allegedly became imprudent to do so. The alleged ERISA violations relate to, among other things, the defendants' purported failure to monitor and/or disclose certain matters, including the Subprime Exposure Issues. On September 18, 2009, defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint, and those motions are pending.

    Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation.    On November 20, 2007 and August 6, 2008, purported shareholder derivative actions were filed in the Southern District of New York naming as defendants directors and officers of AIG and its subsidiaries and asserting claims on behalf of nominal defendant AIG. The actions have been consolidated as In re American International Group, Inc. 2007 Derivative Litigation (the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation). On June 3, 2009, lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint naming additional directors and officers of AIG and its subsidiaries as defendants. As amended, the factual allegations include the Subprime Exposure Issues and AIG and AIGFP employee retention payments and related compensation issues. The claims asserted on behalf of nominal defendant AIG include breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, contribution and violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. On August 5 and 26, 2009, AIG and defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. On December 18, 2009, a separate action, previously commenced in the Central District of California and transferred to the Southern District of New York on June 5, 2009, was consolidated into the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation and dismissed without prejudice to the pursuit of the claims in the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation.

    On March 30, 2010, the Court dismissed the action due to plaintiff's failure to make a pre-suit demand on AIG's Board of Directors. On March 31, 2010, judgment was entered. On April 29, 2010, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

    Other Derivative Actions.    Separate purported derivative actions, alleging similar claims as the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation, have been brought asserting claims on behalf of the nominal defendant AIG in various jurisdictions. These actions are all stayed pending further proceedings in the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation (except the Supreme Court of New York, New York County case, but no defendant has been served in that case). These actions are described below:

Supreme Court of New York, Nassau County.    On February 29, 2008, a purported shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of Nassau County, naming as defendants certain directors and officers of AIG and its subsidiaries.

Supreme Court of New York, New York County.    On March 20, 2009, a purported shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of New York County naming as defendants certain directors and officers of AIG and recipients of AIGFP retention payments. The complaint has not been served on any defendant.

Delaware Court of Chancery.    On September 17, 2008, a purported shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, naming as defendants certain directors and officers of AIG and its subsidiaries.

Delaware Court of Chancery.    On January 15, 2009, a purported shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery, naming as defendants certain directors of AIG and Joseph Cassano, the former Chief Executive Officer of AIGFP.

Superior Court for the State of California, Los Angeles County.    On April 1, 2009, a purported shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Superior Court for the State of California, Los Angeles County, naming as defendants certain directors and officers of AIG. On September 30, 2009, the plaintiff in this action moved to intervene in the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation. On December 23, 2009, the Court in the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation denied that motion.

certain directors and officers of AIG and Joseph Cassano, the former Chief Executive Officer of AIGFP, pursuant to the Ontario Securities Act. If the Court grants the application, a class plaintiff will be permitted to file a statement of claim against defendants. The proposed statement of claim would assert a class period of November 10, 2006 through September 16, 2008 (later amended to March 16, 2006 through September 16, 2008) and would allege that during this period defendants made false and misleading statements and omissions in quarterly and annual reports and during oral presentations in violation of the Ontario Securities Act. On April 17, 2009, defendants filed a motion record in support of their motion to stay or dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and forum non conveniens. On July 12, 2010, the Court adjourned a hearing on the motion pending a decision by the Supreme Court of Canada in another action with respect to similar issues raised in the action pending against AIG.

Other Litigation Related to AIGFP

    On September 30, 2009, Brookfield Asset Management, Inc. and Brysons International, Ltd. (together, Brookfield) filed a complaint against AIG and AIGFP in the Southern District of New York. Brookfield seeks a declaration that a 1990 interest rate swap agreement between Brookfield and AIGFP (guaranteed by AIG) terminated upon the occurrence of certain alleged events that Brookfield contends constituted defaults under the swap agreement's standard "bankruptcy" default provision. Brookfield claims that it is excused from all future payment obligations under the swap agreement on the basis of the purported termination. At September 30, 2010, the estimated present value of expected future cash flows discounted at LIBOR was $1.4 billion. It is AIG's position that no termination event has occurred and that the swap agreement remains in effect.

    A determination that AIG triggered a "bankruptcy event of default" under the swap agreement could, depending on the Court's precise holding, affect other AIG or AIGFP agreements that contain the same or similar default provisions. Such a determination could also affect derivative agreements or other contracts between third parties, such as credit default swaps under which AIG is a reference credit, which could affect the trading price of AIG securities. On December 17, 2009 defendants filed a motion to dismiss. On September 28, 2010, the Court issued a decision granting defendants' motion in part and denying it in part, holding that the complaint: (i) failed to allege that an event of default had occurred based upon defendants' failure to pay or inability to pay debts as they became due; but, (ii) sufficiently alleged that an event of default had occurred based upon other sections of the swap agreement's "bankruptcy" default provision.

Securities Lending Dispute with Transatlantic Holdings Inc.

    On May 24, 2010, Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. (Transatlantic) and two of its subsidiaries, Transatlantic Reinsurance Company and Trans Re Zurich Reinsurance Company Ltd. (collectively, Claimants), commenced an arbitration proceeding before the American Arbitration Association in New York against AIG and two of its subsidiaries. Claimants allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and common law fraud in connection with certain securities lending agency agreements between AIG's subsidiaries and Claimants. Claimants allege that AIG and its subsidiaries should be liable for the losses that Claimants purport to have suffered in connection with securities lending and investment activities, and seek damages in excess of $350 million. It is AIG's position that there was no breach of the operative agreements, and that Claimants' other allegations including purported breach of fiduciary duty and fraud are not meritorious.

    On June 29, 2010, AIG brought a petition in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, seeking to enjoin the arbitration on the ground that AIG is not a party to the securities lending agency agreements with Claimants. On July 29, 2010, the parties agreed to resolve that petition by consolidating the arbitration commenced by Claimants with a separate arbitration, commenced by AIG on June 29, 2010, in which AIG is seeking damages from Transatlantic for breach of a Master Separation Agreement among Transatlantic, AIG and one of its subsidiary companies.

ALICO Life International Limited's Italian Internal Fund Suspensions

    Certain policyholders of certain unit-linked funds offered by the Italian branch of ALICO Life International Limited (ALIL), the Irish subsidiary of ALICO, have either commenced or threatened litigation against ALIL's Italian branch as a result of the suspension of withdrawals from and diminution in value of those funds since late 2008, alleging damages for misrepresentation, mis-selling, improper or inadequate disclosures and other related claims against ALIL.

    Most of the lawsuits are in early stages of litigation. In March 2010, ALIL learned that the public prosecutor in Milan had opened a formal investigation into the actions of employees and former employees of ALIL, as well as employees of ALIL's major distributor, based on a policyholder's complaint.

    ALIL is cooperating with the Italian and Irish regulatory authorities, which have jurisdiction in connection with this matter, and is in discussions to address their concerns as well as those of the affected policyholders.

    Under the terms of the ALICO Stock Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which MetLife has acquired ALICO as of November 1, 2010, AIG has agreed to indemnify MetLife and its affiliates in respect of any third party claims and regulatory fines associated with ALIL's suspended funds.

Settlement Agreement with the Starr Parties

    On November 25, 2009, a settlement agreement and memorandum of understanding (the AIG/Greenberg MOU) was entered into by AIG, on the one hand, and AIG's former Chief Executive Officer, Maurice R. Greenberg, AIG's former Chief Financial Officer, Howard I. Smith, C.V. Starr & Company, Inc. (C.V. Starr) and Starr International Company, Inc. (SICO), on the other hand (the Starr Parties). Under the terms of the AIG/Greenberg MOU, the parties have agreed to release each other from all claims, including any claims by Greenberg and Smith against AIG for indemnification of future legal fees and expenses or settlement costs.

    In addition, pursuant to the AIG/Greenberg MOU:

SICO agreed to undertake to dismiss with prejudice an action it brought against AIG in the Tribuna del Circuito Civil, Panama City, Panama. On February 10, 2010, the parties filed a joint request to dismiss the case. On March 2, 2010, the Court posted its approval of the dismissal of claims and the action was terminated.

AIG agreed to undertake to dismiss with prejudice its direct claims against Greenberg and Smith in the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation. On February 5, 2010, AIG, Greenberg and Smith submitted a stipulation to the Court dismissing AIG's direct claims against Greenberg and Smith.

    The Starr Parties have taken the position that the AIG/Greenberg MOU also releases certain of the derivative claims being pursued by the shareholder plaintiffs in the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation and the New York 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation. AIG has taken the opposite position. The Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation and the New York 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation are described below under "Litigation Related to the Matters Underlying the 2006 Regulatory Settlements."

2006 Regulatory Settlements and Related Regulatory Matters

    2006 Regulatory Settlements.    In February 2006, AIG reached a resolution of claims and matters under investigation with the DOJ, the SEC, the Office of the New York Attorney General (NYAG) and the New York State Department of Insurance (DOI). The settlements resolved investigations conducted by the SEC, NYAG and DOI in connection with the accounting, financial reporting and insurance brokerage practices of AIG and its subsidiaries, as well as claims relating to the underpayment of certain workers' compensation premium taxes and other assessments. These settlements did not, however, resolve investigations by regulators from other states into insurance brokerage practices related to contingent commissions and other broker-related conduct, such as alleged bid rigging. Nor did the settlements resolve any obligations that AIG may have to state guarantee funds in connection with any of these matters.

    As a result of these settlements, AIG made payments or placed amounts in escrow in 2006 totaling approximately $1.64 billion, $225 million of which represented fines and penalties. Amounts held in escrow totaling approximately $338 million, including interest thereon, are included in Other assets at September 30, 2010. At that date, all of the funds were escrowed for settlement of claims resulting from the underpayment by AIG of its residual market assessments for workers' compensation.

    In addition to the escrowed funds, $800 million was deposited into, and subsequently disbursed by, a fund under the supervision of the SEC, to resolve claims asserted against AIG by investors, including the securities class action and shareholder lawsuits described below.

    Also, as part of the settlements, AIG agreed to retain, for a period of three years, an independent consultant to conduct a review that included, among other things, the adequacy of AIG's internal control over financial reporting, the policies, procedures and effectiveness of AIG's regulatory, compliance and legal functions and the remediation plan that AIG implemented as a result of its own internal review.

    Other Regulatory Settlements.    AIG's 2006 regulatory settlements with the SEC, DOJ, NYAG and DOI did not resolve investigations by regulators from other states into insurance brokerage practices. AIG entered into agreements effective in early 2008 with the Attorneys General of the States of Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, Michigan, Oregon, Texas and West Virginia; the Commonwealths of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania; and the District of Columbia; as well as the Florida Department of Financial Services and the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, relating to their respective industry-wide investigations into producer compensation and insurance placement practices. The settlements called for total payments of $26 million by AIG, of which $4.4 million was paid under previous settlement agreements. During the term of the settlement agreements, which run through early 2018, AIG will continue to maintain certain producer compensation disclosure and ongoing compliance initiatives. AIG will also continue to cooperate with the industry-wide investigations. On April 7, 2010, it was announced that AIG and the Ohio Attorney General entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the Ohio Attorney General's claim concerning producer compensation and insurance placement practices. AIG paid the Ohio Attorney General $9 million as part of that settlement.

    NAIC Examination of Workers' Compensation Premium Reporting.    During 2006, the Settlement Review Working Group of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), under the direction of the States of Indiana, Minnesota and Rhode Island, began an investigation into AIG's reporting of workers' compensation premiums. In late 2007, the Settlement Review Working Group recommended that a multi-state targeted market conduct examination focusing on workers' compensation insurance be commenced under the direction of the NAIC's Market Analysis Working Group. AIG was informed of the multi-state targeted market conduct examination in January 2008. The lead states in the multi-state examination are Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. All other states (and the District of Columbia) have agreed to participate in the multi-state examination. To date, the examination has focused on legacy issues related to AIG's writing and reporting of workers' compensation insurance prior to 1996. AIG has also been advised that the examination will focus on current compliance with legal requirements applicable to such business.

Litigation Related to the Matters Underlying the 2006 Regulatory Settlements

    AIG and certain present and former directors and officers of AIG have been named in various actions related to the matters underlying the 2006 Regulatory Settlements. These actions are described below.

    The Consolidated 2004 Securities Litigation.    Beginning in October 2004, a number of putative securities fraud class action suits were filed in the Southern District of New York against AIG and consolidated as In re American International Group, Inc. Securities Litigation (the Consolidated 2004 Securities Litigation). Subsequently, a separate, though similar, securities fraud action was also brought against AIG by certain Florida pension funds. The lead plaintiff in the Consolidated 2004 Securities Litigation is a group of public retirement systems and pension funds benefiting Ohio state employees, suing on behalf of themselves and all purchasers of AIG's publicly

traded securities between October 28, 1999 and April 1, 2005. The named defendants are AIG and a number of present and former AIG officers and directors, as well as Starr, SICO, General Reinsurance Corporation (General Re), and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), among others. The lead plaintiff alleges, among other things, that AIG: (1) concealed that it engaged in anti-competitive conduct through alleged payment of contingent commissions to brokers and participation in illegal bid-rigging; (2) concealed that it used "income smoothing" products and other techniques to inflate its earnings; (3) concealed that it marketed and sold "income smoothing" insurance products to other companies; and (4) misled investors about the scope of government investigations. In addition, the lead plaintiff alleges that Greenberg manipulated AIG's stock price. The lead plaintiff asserts claims for violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Sections 20(a) and Section 20A of the Exchange Act.

    In October 2009, the lead plaintiff advised the Court that it had entered into a settlement agreement with Greenberg, Smith, Christian M. Milton, Michael J. Castelli, SICO and Starr. At the lead plaintiff's request, the Court has entered an order dismissing all of the lead plaintiff's claims against these defendants "without prejudice" to any party. The lead plaintiff has also voluntarily dismissed Frank Hoenemeyer, L. Michael Murphy, and Richmond Insurance Company, Ltd.

    On February 22, 2010, the Court issued an opinion granting, in part, lead plaintiffs' motion for class certification. The Court rejected lead plaintiffs' request to include in the class purchasers of certain AIG bonds and declined to certify a class with respect to certain counts of the complaint and dismissed those claims for lack of standing. With respect to the remaining claims under the Exchange Act on behalf of putative class members who had purchased AIG Common Stock, the Court declined to certify a class as to certain defendants other than AIG and rejected lead plaintiffs' claims that class members could establish injury based on disclosures on two of the six dates lead plaintiffs had proposed, but certified a class consisting of all shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired AIG Common Stock during the class period of October 28, 1999 to April 1, 2005, and who possessed that stock over one or more of the dates October 14, 2004, October 15, 2004, March 17, 2005 or April 1, 2005, as well as persons who held AIG Common Stock in two companies at the time they were acquired by AIG in exchange for AIG Common Stock, and were allegedly damaged thereby. In light of the class certification decision, on March 5, 2010, the Court denied as moot General Re's and lead plaintiffs' motion to certify their proposed settlement, and on March 18, 2010, PwC withdrew its motion to approve its proposed settlement with lead plaintiffs. Lead plaintiffs and AIG each filed petitions requesting permission to file an interlocutory appeal of the class certification decision. AIG, General Re, Richard Napier and Ronald Ferguson each filed opposition briefs to lead plaintiffs' petition.

    On May 17, 2010, PwC and lead plaintiffs jointly moved for final approval of their settlement as proposed prior to class certification. On September 15, 2010, the Court scheduled a hearing for November 30, 2010 to determine whether the settlement between PwC and lead plaintiffs is fair, reasonable and adequate. On June 23, 2010, General Re and lead plaintiffs jointly moved for preliminary approval of their settlement. On September 10, 2010, the Court issued an opinion denying the motion for preliminary approval and, on September 23, 2010, the Court dismissed the lead plaintiffs' causes of action with respect to General Re.

    On June 28, 2010, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit granted AIG's petition seeking permission to file an interlocutory appeal of the class certification decision, and denied the petition by lead plaintiffs. On September 1, 2010, AIG and lead plaintiffs entered into a stipulation to withdraw AIG's interlocutory appeal without prejudice to reinstate the appeal in the future, which has been endorsed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

    On July 14, 2010, AIG approved the terms of a settlement (the Settlement) with lead plaintiffs. The Settlement is conditioned on, among other things, court approval and a minimum level of shareholder participation. Under the terms of the Settlement, if consummated, AIG will pay an aggregate of $725 million, $175 million of which is to be paid into escrow within ten days of preliminary court approval. AIG's obligation to fund the remainder of the settlement amount is conditioned on its having consummated one or more common stock offerings raising net

proceeds of at least $550 million prior to final court approval (Qualified Offering). AIG has agreed to use best efforts, consistent with the fiduciary duties of AIG's management and Board of Directors, to effect a Qualified Offering, but the decision as to whether market conditions or pending or contemplated corporate transactions make it commercially reasonable to proceed with such an offering will be within AIG's unilateral discretion. In the event that AIG effects a registered secondary offering of common stock on behalf of the Department of the Treasury resulting in the Department of the Treasury receiving proceeds of at least $550 million, then market access will be deemed to have been demonstrated and AIG shall be deemed to have consummated a Qualified Offering. AIG, in its sole discretion, also may fund the $550 million from other sources. If AIG does not fund the $550 million before final court approval of the Settlement, lead plaintiffs may terminate the agreement, elect to acquire freely transferable shares of AIG Common Stock with a market value of $550 million provided AIG is able to obtain all necessary approvals, or extend the period for AIG to complete a Qualified Offering.

    On July 20, 2010, at the joint request of AIG and lead plaintiffs, the District Court entered an order staying all deadlines in the case.

    The New York 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation.    Between October 25, 2004 and July 14, 2005, seven separate derivative actions were filed in the Southern District of New York, five of which were consolidated into a single action (the New York 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation). The complaint in this action contains nearly the same types of allegations made in the Consolidated 2004 Securities Litigation. The named defendants include current and former officers and directors of AIG, as well as Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (Marsh), SICO, Starr, ACE Limited and subsidiaries (Ace), General Re, PwC, and certain employees or officers of these entity defendants. Plaintiffs assert claims for breach of fiduciary duty, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, insider selling, auditor breach of contract, auditor professional negligence and disgorgement from Greenberg and Smith of incentive-based compensation and AIG share proceeds under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, among others. Plaintiffs seek, among other things, compensatory damages, corporate governance reforms, and a voiding of the election of certain AIG directors. AIG's Board of Directors has appointed a special committee of independent directors (Special Committee) to review the matters asserted in the operative consolidated derivative complaint. The Court has entered an order staying this action pending resolution of the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation discussed below. The Court also has entered an order that termination of certain named defendants from the Delaware action applies to this action without further order of the Court. On February 26, 2009, the Court dismissed those AIG officer and director defendants against whom the shareholder plaintiffs in the Delaware action had not pursued claims.

    Under the AIG/Greenberg MOU, AIG agreed to undertake to dismiss with prejudice its claims against Greenberg and Smith in the New York 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation. The Starr Parties have taken the position that the AIG/Greenberg MOU also releases the derivative claims being pursued by the shareholder plaintiffs in this litigation. AIG has taken the opposite position.

    On August 25, 2010, AIG entered into a settlement agreement with the other parties to the derivative litigations which was submitted by plaintiffs to the Delaware Court of Chancery on August 26, 2010. The settlement is conditioned on a separate agreement with AIG's directors and officers liability (D&O) insurers, under which the insurers would pay $150 million, $90 million of which would fund the settlement of the derivative claims and which, after the deduction of expenses and plaintiffs' counsel's attorneys' fees, would be paid to AIG. The remaining $60 million would be used to cover attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Maurice Greenberg and Howard Smith.

    The Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation.    From October 2004 to April 2005, AIG shareholders filed five derivative complaints in the Delaware Chancery Court. All of these derivative lawsuits were consolidated into a single action as In re American International Group, Inc. Consolidated Derivative Litigation (the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation). The amended consolidated complaint named 43 defendants (not including nominal defendant AIG) who, as in the New York 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation, were current and former officers and directors of AIG, as well as other entities and certain of their current and former employees and

directors. The factual allegations, legal claims and relief sought in this action are similar to those alleged in the New York 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation, except that the claims are only under state law.

    In early 2007, the Court approved an agreement that AIG be realigned as plaintiff, and, on June 13, 2007, acting on the direction of the Special Committee, AIG filed an amended complaint against former directors and officers Greenberg and Smith, alleging breach of fiduciary duty and indemnification. Also on June 13, 2007, the Special Committee filed a motion to terminate the litigation as to certain defendants, while taking no action as to others. Defendants Greenberg and Smith filed answers to AIG's complaint and brought third-party complaints against certain current and former AIG directors and officers, PwC and INS Regulatory Insurance Services, Inc. On September 28, 2007, AIG and the shareholder plaintiffs filed a combined amended complaint in which AIG continued to assert claims against defendants Greenberg and Smith and took no position as to the claims asserted by the shareholder plaintiffs in the remainder of the combined amended complaint. In that pleading, the shareholder plaintiffs are no longer pursuing claims against certain AIG officers and directors. On February 12, 2008, the Court granted AIG's motion to stay discovery pending the resolution of claims against AIG in the Consolidated 2004 Securities Litigation.

    On April 11, 2008, the shareholder plaintiffs filed the First Amended Combined Complaint, which added claims against former AIG directors and officers Greenberg, Edward Matthews, and Thomas Tizzio for breach of fiduciary duty based on alleged bid-rigging in the municipal derivatives market. On June 13, 2008, certain defendants filed motions to dismiss the shareholder plaintiffs' portions of the complaint. On February 10, 2009, the Court denied the motions to dismiss filed by Greenberg, Matthews, and Tizzio; granted the motion to dismiss filed by PwC without prejudice; and granted the motion to dismiss filed by certain former employees of AIG without prejudice for lack of personal jurisdiction. On March 6, 2009, the Court granted an Order of Dismissal, Notice and Order of Voluntary Dismissal and Stipulation and Order of Dismissal to dismiss those individual defendants who were similarly situated to the individuals dismissed by the Court for lack of personal jurisdiction. On March 12, 2009, Defendant Greenberg filed his verified answer to AIG's complaint; cross-claims against Marsh, ACE, General Re, and Tizzio; and a third-party complaint against certain current and former AIG directors and officers, as well as INS Regulatory Insurance Services, Inc. Defendant Smith has also filed his answer to AIG's complaint, which was amended on July 9, 2009 to add cross-claims against Tizzio and third-party claims against certain current and former AIG directors and officers, as well as INS Regulatory Insurance Services, Inc. On June 17, 2009, the Court issued an opinion granting the motions to dismiss filed by General Re, Marsh, ACE, and Susan Rivera. On July 13, 2009 and July 17, 2009, the Court entered final judgments in favor of PwC, General Re, Marsh, ACE, and Susan Rivera. Shortly thereafter, the shareholder plaintiffs filed separate appeals: one addressing the dismissal of PwC, and the other addressing the dismissals of ACE, General Re, and Marsh. The Delaware Supreme Court certified the question to the New York Court of Appeals as to whether, under certain circumstances, New York's in pari delicto doctrine would bar a derivative claim against a corporation's accountants for negligently failing to uncover a fraud by the corporation. On October 21, 2010 the New York Court of Appeals affirmatively answered the certified question.

    On November 10, 2009, the Delaware Supreme Court granted AIG's motion to consolidate the appeal of its dismissal from the In re Marsh Derivative Litigation (see below, "Derivative Action — Delaware Chancery Court (Marsh)") with the appeal of the dismissals of Marsh, General Re and ACE from the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation, and subsequently issued an order notifying the parties that the appeal would be heard by the Court en banc.

    On February 5, 2010, a stipulation of dismissal was filed with the court dismissing AIG's direct claims against Greenberg and Smith, pursuant to the AIG/Greenberg MOU. On February 10, 2010, the shareholder plaintiffs informed the Court that they did not object to the dismissal of AIG's direct claims against Greenberg and Smith, but stated that the dismissal did not apply to their claim against Greenberg and Smith, and further stated that they intended to seek attorneys' fees for having initiated the claims against Greenberg and Smith. The Starr Parties have taken the position that the AIG/Greenberg MOU releases the derivative claims being pursued by the shareholder plaintiffs; AIG has taken the opposite position.

    This action is also subject to the conditional settlement between the parties to the derivative actions, reached on August 25, 2010 (see The New York 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation herein).

    Derivative Action — Supreme Court of New York.    On February 11, 2009, shareholder plaintiffs in the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation filed a derivative complaint in the Supreme Court of New York against the individual defendants who moved to dismiss the complaint in the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation on personal jurisdiction grounds. The defendants include current and former officers and employees of AIG, Marsh, and General Re; AIG is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint in this action contains similar allegations to those made in the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation described above. Defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint on May 1, 2009. The shareholder plaintiffs have reached an agreement staying discovery as well as any motions to dismiss the General Re and Marsh defendants pending final adjudication of any claims against those parties in the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation. The individual defendants have also filed motions to dismiss.

    This action is also subject to the conditional settlement between the parties to the derivative actions, reached on August 25, 2010 (see The New York 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation herein).

    Derivative Action — Delaware Chancery Court (Marsh).    AIG was also named as a defendant in a derivative action in the Delaware Chancery Court brought by shareholders of Marsh. On July 10, 2008, shareholder plaintiffs filed a second consolidated amended complaint, which contains claims against AIG for aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty and contribution and indemnification in connection with alleged bid-rigging and steering practices in the commercial insurance market that are the subject of the Multi-District Litigation described below. On November 10, 2008, AIG and certain defendants filed motions to dismiss the shareholder plaintiffs' portions of the complaint. On June 17, 2009, the Court dismissed the claims against AIG, Greenberg, and Zachary Carter with prejudice and denied the motions to dismiss filed by the remaining defendants. The shareholder plaintiffs filed their notice of appeal on October 1, 2009. AIG moved to consolidate the appeal with the appeal of the dismissal of ACE, General Re, and Marsh in the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation. The shareholders of Marsh moved to stay this appeal pending the decision in the appeal of the dismissal of ACE, General Re, and Marsh in the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation. On November 10, 2009, the Delaware Supreme Court granted AIG's motion to consolidate the appeals for the purposes of oral argument and denied the Marsh shareholders' motion to stay. On February 22, 2010, the Court issued an order notifying the parties that the appeal would be heard by the Court en banc.

    On December 22, 2009, the Marsh shareholder plaintiffs filed a stipulation of settlement, resolving their claims against the Marsh defendants.

    On October 21, 2010, the Delaware Supreme Court asked the parties to brief the New York Court of Appeals' answer to the certified question regarding the dismissal of PwC from the Delaware 2004/2005 Derivative Litigation on the grounds of in pari delicto. Oral argument on the Marsh shareholders' appeal against AIG is currently scheduled for December 15, 2010.

    The Multi-District Litigation.    Commencing in 2004, policyholders brought multiple federal antitrust and RICO class actions in jurisdictions across the nation against insurers and brokers, including AIG and a number of its subsidiaries, alleging that the insurers and brokers engaged in one or more broad conspiracies to allocate customers, steer business, and rig bids. These actions, including 24 complaints filed in different federal Courts naming AIG or an AIG subsidiary as a defendant, were consolidated by the judicial panel on multi-district litigation and transferred to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (District of New Jersey) for coordinated pretrial proceedings. The consolidated actions have proceeded in that Court in two parallel actions, In re Insurance Brokerage Antitrust Litigation (the Commercial Complaint) and In re Employee Benefits Insurance Brokerage Antitrust Litigation (the Employee Benefits Complaint, and, together with the Commercial Complaint, the Multi-District Litigation).

    The plaintiffs in the Commercial Complaint are a group of corporations, individuals and public entities that contracted with the broker defendants for the provision of insurance brokerage services for a variety of insurance needs. The broker defendants are alleged to have placed insurance coverage on the plaintiffs' behalf with a number of insurance companies named as defendants, including AIG subsidiaries. The Commercial Complaint also named various brokers and other insurers as defendants (three of which have since settled). The Commercial Complaint alleges that defendants engaged in a number of overlapping "broker-centered" conspiracies to allocate customers through the payment of contingent commissions to brokers and through purported "bid-rigging" practices. It also alleges that the insurer and broker defendants participated in a "global" conspiracy not to disclose to policyholders the payment of contingent commissions. Plaintiffs assert that the defendants violated the Sherman Antitrust Act, RICO, and the antitrust laws of 48 states and the District of Columbia, and are liable under common law breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment theories. Plaintiffs seek treble damages plus interest and attorneys' fees as a result of the alleged RICO and Sherman Antitrust Act violations.

    The plaintiffs in the Employee Benefits Complaint are a group of individual employees and corporate and municipal employers alleging claims on behalf of two separate nationwide purported classes: an employee class and an employer class that acquired insurance products from the defendants from January 1, 1998 to December 31, 2004. The Employee Benefits Complaint names AIG, as well as various other brokers and insurers, as defendants. The activities alleged in the Employee Benefits Complaint, with certain exceptions, track the allegations of customer allocation through steering and bid-rigging made in the Commercial Complaint.

    The District Court, in connection with the Commercial and Employee Benefits Complaints, granted (without leave to amend) defendants' motions to dismiss the federal antitrust and RICO claims on August 31, 2007 and September 28, 2007, respectively. The Court declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims in the Commercial Complaint and therefore dismissed it in its entirety. Plaintiffs appealed the dismissal of the Commercial Complaint to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on October 10, 2007. On January 14, 2008, the District Court granted summary judgment to defendants on plaintiffs' ERISA claims in the Employee Benefits Complaint. On February 12, 2008, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit with respect to the dismissal of the antitrust and RICO claims in the Employee Benefits Complaint.

    On August 16, 2010, the Third Circuit issued a decision affirming in part and vacating in part the District Court's dismissal of the Commercial Complaint, and remanded the case for further proceedings consistent with the opinion. Specifically, the Third Circuit affirmed the dismissal of plaintiffs' broader antitrust and RICO claims, but the Court reversed the District Court's dismissal of alleged "Marsh-centered" antitrust and RICO claims based on allegations of bid-rigging involving excess casualty insurance. The Court remanded these Marsh-centered claims to the District Court for consideration as to whether plaintiffs had adequately pleaded them. Because the Third Circuit vacated in part the judgment dismissing the federal claims in the Commercial Complaint, the Third Circuit also vacated the District Court's dismissal of the state-law claims in the Commercial Complaint.

    The Third Circuit affirmed the dismissal of the Employee Benefits Complaint in its entirety.

    On October 1, 2010, defendants in the Commercial Complaint filed motions to dismiss the remaining remanded claims in the District Court of New Jersey.

    A number of complaints making allegations similar to those in the Multi-District Litigation have been filed against AIG and other defendants in state and federal courts around the country. The defendants have thus far been successful in having the federal actions transferred to the District of New Jersey and consolidated into the Multi-District Litigation. These additional consolidated actions are still pending in the District of New Jersey, but are currently stayed. The AIG defendants have also sought to have state court actions making similar allegations stayed pending resolution of the Multi-District Litigation proceeding. These efforts have generally been successful, although four cases have proceeded; one each in Florida and New Jersey state courts that have settled, and one each in Texas and Kansas state courts have proceeded (although discovery is stayed in both actions). In the Texas action, plaintiff filed its Fourth Amended Petition on July 13, 2009. On August 14, 2009, defendants filed renewed

special exceptions. In the Kansas case, defendants are appealing to the Kansas Supreme Court the trial court's denial of defendants' motion to dismiss.

    Workers' Compensation Premium Reporting.    On May 24, 2007, the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI), on behalf of the participating members of the National Workers' Compensation Reinsurance Pool (the NWCRP), filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against AIG with respect to the underpayment by AIG of its residual market assessments for workers' compensation insurance. The complaint alleged claims for violations of RICO, breach of contract, fraud and related state law claims arising out of AIG's alleged underpayment of these assessments between 1970 and the present and sought damages purportedly in excess of $1 billion. On August 6, 2007, the Court denied AIG's motion seeking to dismiss or stay the complaint or, in the alternative, to transfer to the Southern District of New York. On December 26, 2007, the Court denied AIG's motion to dismiss the complaint.

    On March 17, 2008, AIG filed an amended answer, counterclaims and third-party claims against NCCI (in its capacity as attorney-in-fact for the NWCRP), the NWCRP, its board members, and certain of the other insurance companies that are members of the NWCRP alleging violations of RICO, as well as claims for conspiracy, fraud, and other state law claims. The counterclaim-defendants and third-party defendants filed motions to dismiss on June 9, 2008. On January 26, 2009, AIG filed a motion to dismiss all claims in the complaint for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. On February 23, 2009, the Court issued a decision and order sustaining AIG's counterclaims and sustaining, in part, AIG's third-party claims. The Court also dismissed certain of AIG's third-party claims without prejudice.

    On April 13, 2009, third-party defendant Liberty Mutual filed third-party counterclaims against AIG, certain of its subsidiaries, and former AIG executives. On August 23, 2009, the Court granted AIG's motion to dismiss the NCCI complaint for lack of standing. On September 25, 2009, AIG filed its First Amended Complaint, reasserting its RICO claims against certain insurance companies that both underreported their workers' compensation premium and served on the NWCRP Board, and repleading its fraud and other state law claims. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint on October 30, 2009. On October 8, 2009, Liberty Mutual filed an amended counterclaim against AIG. The amended counterclaim is substantially similar to the complaint initially filed by NCCI, but also seeks damages related to non-NWCRP states, guaranty funds, and special assessments, in addition to asserting claims for other violations of state law. The amended counterclaim also removes as defendants the former AIG executives. On October 30, 2009, AIG filed a motion to dismiss the Liberty amended counterclaim.

    On April 1, 2009, Safeco Insurance Company of America and Ohio Casualty Insurance Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, on behalf of a purported class of all NWCRP participant members, against AIG and certain of its subsidiaries with respect to the underpayment by AIG of its residual market assessments for workers' compensation insurance. The complaint was styled as an "alternative complaint," should the Court grant AIG's motion to dismiss the NCCI lawsuit for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. The allegations in the class action complaint are substantially similar to those filed by the NWCRP, but the complaint names former AIG executives as defendants and asserts a RICO claim against those executives. On August 28, 2009, the class action plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, removing the AIG executives as defendants. On October 30, 2009, AIG filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On July 16, 2010, Safeco Insurance Company and Ohio Casualty Insurance Company filed their motion for class certification, which AIG opposed on October 8, 2010.

    On July 1, 2010, the Court ruled on the pending motions to dismiss that were directed at all parties' claims. With respect to the underreporting NWCRP companies' and board members' motion to dismiss AIG's first amended complaint, the Court denied the motion to dismiss all counts except AIG's claim for unjust enrichment, which it found to be precluded by the surviving claims for breach of contract. With respect to NCCI and the NWCRP's motion to dismiss AIG's first amended complaint, the Court denied the NCCI and the NWCRP's motions to dismiss AIG's claims for an equitable accounting and an action on an open, mutual, and current

account. With respect to AIG's motions to dismiss Liberty's counterclaims and the class action complaint, the Court denied both motions, except that it dismissed the class claim for promissory estoppel. On July 30, 2010 the NWCRP filed a motion for reconsideration of the Court's ruling denying its motion to dismiss AIG's claims for an equitable accounting and an action on an open, mutual, and current account. The Court denied the NWCRP's motion for reconsideration on September 16, 2010.

Litigation Matters Relating to AIG's Insurance Operations

    Caremark.    AIG and certain of its subsidiaries have been named defendants in two putative class actions in state court in Alabama that arise out of the 1999 settlement of class and derivative litigation involving Caremark Rx, Inc. (Caremark). The plaintiffs in the second-filed action have intervened in the first-filed action, and the second-filed action has been dismissed. An excess policy issued by a subsidiary of AIG with respect to the 1999 litigation was expressly stated to be without limit of liability. In the current actions, plaintiffs allege that the judge approving the 1999 settlement was misled as to the extent of available insurance coverage and would not have approved the settlement had he known of the existence and/or unlimited nature of the excess policy. They further allege that AIG, its subsidiaries, and Caremark are liable for fraud and suppression for misrepresenting and/or concealing the nature and extent of coverage. The complaints filed by the plaintiffs and the intervenor-plaintiffs request compensatory damages for the 1999 class in the amount of $3.2 billion, plus punitive damages. AIG and its subsidiaries deny the allegations of fraud and suppression and have asserted that information concerning the excess policy was publicly disclosed months prior to the approval of the settlement. AIG and its subsidiaries further assert that the current claims are barred by the statute of limitations and that plaintiffs' assertions that the statute was tolled cannot stand against the public disclosure of the excess coverage. The plaintiffs and intervenor-plaintiffs, in turn, have asserted that the disclosure was insufficient to inform them of the nature of the coverage and did not start the running of the statute of limitations.

    On December 1, 2008, the intervenor-plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint in Intervention that purports to bring claims against all defendants for deceit and conspiracy to deceive and a claim against AIG and its subsidiaries for aiding and abetting Caremark's alleged deception. The defendants have moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint, and, in the alternative, for a more definite statement.

    Superior National.    On December 30, 2004, an arbitration panel issued its ruling in connection with a 1998 workers' compensation quota share reinsurance agreement under which Superior National Insurance Company, among others, was reinsured by The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (USLIFE), a subsidiary of AIG Life Holdings (U.S.). In its 2-1 ruling, the arbitration panel refused to rescind the contract as requested by USLIFE. Instead, the panel reformed the contract to reduce USLIFE's participation by ten percent. Further, the arbitration ruling established a second phase of arbitration for USLIFE to present its challenges to certain cessions to the contract. In the second phase the arbitration panel issued two awards resolving the challenges in favor of Superior National, now in liquidation. On January 4, 2010, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the arbitration awards. On June 21, 2010, USLIFE satisfied the judgment of approximately $529 million. The judgment was for amounts billed through December 6, 2006, plus interest. USLIFE believes that the remaining reserves, after deduction for satisfaction of the judgment, as of September 30, 2010, should be adequate to fund unpaid claims.


(b) Commitments

Flight Equipment

    At September 30, 2010, ILFC had committed to purchase 115 new aircraft deliverable from 2011 through 2019, at an estimated aggregate purchase price of $13.5 billion. ILFC will be required to find lessees for any aircraft acquired and to arrange financing for a substantial portion of the purchase price.

    Included in the 115 new aircraft are 74 Boeing 787 aircraft (B787s), with the first aircraft currently scheduled to be delivered in July 2012. ILFC is in discussion with Boeing related to revisions to the delivery schedule and

potential delay compensation and penalties for which ILFC may be eligible. ILFC has signed contracts for 31 of the 74 B787s on order. Under the terms of ILFC's B787 leases, the lessees may be entitled to share in any compensation which ILFC receives from Boeing for late delivery of the aircraft.

Other Commitments

    On March 29, 2010, AIG's Compensation and Management Resources Committee approved AIG's 2010 Long Term Incentive Plan (2010 LTIP) and an additional component to AIG's 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan (2009 LTIP) for middle management employees throughout AIG. Under both plans, recipients were offered the opportunity to receive additional compensation in the form of cash and stock appreciation rights (SARs) if certain metrics are met. The ultimate value is contingent on the achievement of performance measures aligned to the participant's business unit over a two-year period and such value could range from zero to twice the target amount. Subsequent to the performance period, portions of the earned awards are subject to an additional time-vesting period of up to two years. The awards granted to participants based on their target amounts for the 2010 LTIP totaled approximately $380 million for the cash and SARs components, while the SARs component of the 2009 LTIP totaled approximately $90 million. AIG recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period for these plans.

    In the normal course of business, AIG enters into commitments to invest in limited partnerships, private equities, hedge funds and mutual funds and to purchase and develop real estate in the U.S. and abroad. These commitments totaled $5.7 billion at September 30, 2010.

    AIG is obligated, subject to certain conditions, to make any payment that is not promptly paid with respect to the benefits accrued by certain employees of AIG and its subsidiaries under the SICO Plans (as discussed in (c) below under "Benefits Provided by Starr International Company, Inc.").


(c) Contingencies

Liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense

    Although AIG regularly reviews the adequacy of the established Liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense, there can be no assurance that AIG's ultimate Liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense will not develop adversely and materially exceed AIG's current Liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense. Estimation of ultimate net claims, claims adjustment expenses and Liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense is a complex process for long-tail casualty lines of business, which include excess and umbrella liability, D&O, 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 loss cost 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.

Benefits Provided by Starr International Company, Inc.

    SICO has provided a series of two-year Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plans (SICO Plans) to certain AIG employees. The SICO Plans were created in 1975 when the voting shareholders and Board of Directors of SICO, a private holding company whose principal asset is AIG Common Stock, decided that a portion of the capital value of SICO should be used to provide an incentive plan for the current and succeeding managements of all American International companies, including AIG.

    None of the costs of the various benefits provided under the SICO Plans has been paid by AIG, although AIG has recorded a charge to reported earnings for the deferred compensation amounts paid to AIG employees by SICO, with an offsetting amount credited to Additional paid-in capital reflecting amounts considered to be contributed by SICO. The SICO Plans provide that shares currently owned by SICO are set aside by SICO for the benefit of the participant and distributed upon retirement. The SICO Board of Directors currently may permit an early payout of units under certain circumstances. Prior to payout, the participant is not entitled to vote, dispose of or receive dividends with respect to such shares, and shares are subject to forfeiture under certain conditions, including but not limited to the participant's voluntary termination of employment with AIG prior to normal retirement age. Under the SICO Plans, SICO's Board of Directors may elect to pay a participant cash in lieu of shares of AIG Common Stock. Following notification from SICO to participants in the SICO Plans that it will settle specific future awards under the SICO Plans with shares rather than cash, AIG modified its accounting for the SICO Plans from variable to fixed measurement accounting. AIG gave effect to this change in settlement method beginning on December 9, 2005, the date of SICO's notice to participants in the SICO Plans.

    Under the Starr International Company, Inc. Assurance Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2005 (SICO Assurance Agreement), AIG has agreed that, in the event that SICO does not promptly deliver the shares as required under the express terms of the SICO Plans to participants who were employees of AIG and its subsidiaries as of May 18, 2005, AIG will pay the benefits due under the SICO Plans. At September 30, 2010, the maximum number of shares of AIG Common Stock that AIG could be required to deliver under the SICO Assurance Agreement was 275,651.


(d) Guarantees

See Note 7 herein for commitments and guarantees associated with VIEs.

See Note 8 herein for disclosures on derivatives, including Capital Markets and MIP written credit default swaps and other derivatives with credit risk-related contingent features.

See Note 15 herein for additional disclosures on guarantees of outstanding debt.

Subsidiaries

    AIG has issued unconditional guarantees with respect to the prompt payment, when due, of all present and future payment obligations and liabilities of AIGFP arising from transactions entered into by such companies.

    In connection with AIGFP's leasing business, AIGFP has issued, in a limited number of transactions, standby letters of credit or similar facilities to equity investors in an amount equal to the termination value owing to the equity investor by the lessee in the event of a lessee default (the equity termination value). The total amount outstanding at September 30, 2010 was $1.3 billion. In those transactions, AIGFP has agreed to pay such amount if the lessee fails to pay. The amount payable by AIGFP is usually, but not always, partially offset by amounts payable under other instruments typically equal to the accreted value of a deposit held by AIGFP. In the event AIGFP is required to make a payment to the equity investor, the lessee is unconditionally obligated to reimburse AIGFP. To the extent the equity investor is paid the equity termination value from the standby letter of credit and/or other sources, including payments by the lessee, AIGFP takes an assignment of the equity investor's rights under the lease of the underlying property. Because the obligations of the lessee under the lease transactions are generally economically defeased, lessee bankruptcy is the most likely circumstance in which AIGFP would be

88

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)


required to pay. AIGFP selected transactions in which it agreed to provide this product only in circumstances where lessee bankruptcy is considered remote or, in the case of certain municipal lessees, not permitted under current law.

Asset Dispositions

    AIG is subject to financial guarantees and indemnity arrangements in connection with the completed sales of businesses pursuant to its asset disposition plan. The various arrangements may be triggered by, among other things, declines in asset values, the occurrence of specified business contingencies, the realization of contingent liabilities, developments in litigation, or breaches of representations, warranties or covenants provided by AIG. These arrangements are typically subject to various time limitations, defined by the contract or by operation of law, such as statutes of limitation. In some cases, the maximum potential obligation is subject to contractual limitations, while in other cases such limitations are not specified or are not applicable.

    AIG is unable to develop a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential payout under certain of these arrangements. Overall, AIG believes that it is unlikely it will have to make any material payments related to completed sales under these arrangements, and no material liabilities related to these arrangements have been recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 1 herein for additional information on sales of businesses and asset dispositions.

    Pursuant to the terms of the ALICO stock purchase agreement, AIG has agreed to provide MetLife with certain indemnifications, the most significant of which include:

Indemnification related to breaches of general representations and warranties with an aggregate deductible of $125 million and a maximum payout of $2.25 billion. The indemnification extends for 21 months after November 1, 2010.

Indemnifications related to specific product, investment, litigation, and other matters that are excluded from the general representations and warranties indemnity. These indemnifications provide for various deductible amounts, which in certain cases are zero, and maximum exposures, which in certain cases are unlimited, and extend for various periods after the completion of the sale.

Tax indemnifications related to insurance reserves that extend for taxable periods ending on or before December 31, 2013 and that are limited to an aggregate of $200 million, and certain other tax-related representations and warranties that extend to the expiration of the statute of limitations and are subject to an aggregate deductible of $50 million.

    In connection with the above, AIG placed $3 billion of sales proceeds (consisting of MetLife securities received upon the completion of the sale) into an escrow arrangement that declines to zero over a 30-month period ending in April 2013, with claims submitted related to the indemnifications reducing the amount that can be released. Because the transaction had not closed at September 30, 2010, no liabilities related to these indemnifications were recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

    Under the terms of the announced sale of AGF, AIG and the purchaser have made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants in the purchase agreement. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2010 subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. In connection with entering into the purchase agreement, AIG and AGF have agreed to amend their tax sharing agreement, which will terminate on the closing of the transaction, (i) to provide that, subject to the closing of the

transaction, the parties' payment obligation under the tax sharing agreement shall be limited to the payments required to be made by AIG to AGF with respect to the 2009 taxable year in accordance with the tax sharing agreement, and (ii) to include the terms of the promissory note to be issued by AIG in satisfaction of its 2009 taxable year payment obligation to AGF.


10. Total Equity and Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Preferred Stock

    During the first nine months of 2010, AIG drew approximately $2.2 billion under the Department of the Treasury Commitment and, as a result, the liquidation preference of the Series F Preferred Stock increased to $7.543 billion in the aggregate.

    As a result of AIG's failure to declare and pay dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock for four quarterly dividend payment periods, the United States Department of the Treasury, as the sole holder of the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock, exercised its right and elected Ronald A. Rittenmeyer and Donald H. Layton (the Preferred Directors) to the Board of Directors of AIG (the Board) by written consent effective April 1, 2010. The Preferred Directors were re-elected by the United States Department of the Treasury, as the sole holder of the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock, at AIG's 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and will hold office as Preferred Directors until the next annual meeting (or special meeting called for the purpose of electing directors) or until all the dividends payable on all outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock have been declared and paid in full for four consecutive quarters.

    The Series C Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock are expected to be exchanged for AIG Common Stock and retired in connection with the Recapitalization. See Note 1 herein.

    See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of AIG's 2009 Financial Statements for a discussion of the terms of AIG's outstanding Preferred Stock.


Equity Units

    In May 2008, AIG sold 78,400,000 million equity units (the Equity Units) at a price per unit of $75 for gross proceeds of $5.88 billion. The Equity Units consist of an ownership interest in AIG junior subordinated debentures and a stock purchase contract obligating the holder of an equity unit to purchase, and obligating AIG to sell, a variable number of shares of AIG Common Stock in 2011. The junior subordinated debentures are recorded as Other long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The principal amount owed by AIG on the subordinated debentures is equal to the amount owed to AIG under the related stock purchase contract.

    On October 8, 2010, AIG commenced an offer to exchange up to 74,480,000 of its Equity Units for consideration per Equity Unit equal to 0.09867 shares of AIG Common Stock plus $3.2702 in cash. The stock and cash received will be the result of netting payments from two separate transactions, a repurchase of the subordinated debentures and a cancellation of the stock purchase contracts.

    The consideration offered per Equity Unit is the same number of shares and the same cumulative amount of cash per Equity Unit that a holder would receive if the holder did not tender into the exchange offer and instead held Equity Units and settled the respective stock purchase contract at its final stock purchase date with the proceeds from subordinated debentures.

    The 74,480,000 Equity Units AIG seeks to acquire represent approximately 95 percent of the outstanding Equity Units. If more than 95 percent of the holders of the outstanding Equity Units accept the exchange offer, the Equity Units accepted in the exchange offer will be prorated as necessary to remain within this limit.

    The exchange offer expires on November 10, 2010, unless extended or earlier terminated by AIG.

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

    In addition, debentures included in the Equity Units not exchanged in the exchange offer will continue to be subject to remarketing. Depending on the amount of Equity Units that are accepted for exchange in the exchange offer, the trading market for the Equity Units that remain outstanding after the exchange offer is expected to be more limited. The 74,480,000 Equity Units, which is the maximum number of Equity Units that could be exchanged in the exchange offer, represent approximately 95 percent of the total outstanding Equity Units. AIG may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, after the settlement date of the exchange offer, purchase Equity Units. Following completion of the exchange offer, AIG may also repurchase Debentures in a remarketing, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

    No assurance can be given that AIG will complete the exchange offer or that the terms of the exchange offer will not be changed.

    See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of AIG's 2009 Financial Statements for a discussion of the terms of AIG's outstanding Equity Units.

Noncontrolling interests

    In connection with the ongoing execution of its orderly asset disposition plan, as well as plans to timely repay the FRBNY Credit Facility, on November 30, 2009, AIG transferred two of its wholly owned businesses, AIA and ALICO, to two newly-created special purpose vehicles (SPVs) in exchange for all the common and preferred interests of those SPVs. On December 1, 2009, AIG transferred the preferred interests in the SPVs to the FRBNY in consideration for a $25 billion reduction of the outstanding loan balance and of the maximum amount of credit available under the FRBNY Credit Facility and amended the terms of the FRBNY Credit Facility.

    The common interests, which were retained by AIG, entitle AIG to 100 percent of the voting power of the SPVs. The voting power allows AIG to elect the boards of managers of the SPVs, who oversee the management

91


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)


and operation of the SPVs. Primarily due to the substantive participation rights of the preferred interests, the SPVs were determined to be variable interest entities. As the primary beneficiary of the SPVs, AIG consolidates the SPVs.

    The preferred interests are redeemable at the option of AIG and are transferable at the FRBNY's discretion. If the FRBNY obtains control of the SPVs, through a default by AIG under the FRBNY Credit Agreement or otherwise, the agreements governing the transactions explicitly prohibit redemption of the preferred interests. In the event the board of managers of either SPV initiates a public offering, liquidation or winding up or a voluntary sale of the SPV, the proceeds must be distributed to the preferred interests until the preferred interests' redemption value has been paid. The redemption value of the preferred interests is the liquidation preference, which includes any undistributed preferred returns through the redemption date, and the amount of distributions that the preferred interests would receive in the event of a 100 percent distribution to all the common and preferred interest holders at the redemption date.

    In 2010, AIG recorded a net decrease due to deconsolidation of noncontrolling interests primarily related to the sale of AIG's investment advisory and third party asset management business. See Note 3 herein for additional information. In 2009, AIG recorded a net decrease due to the deconsolidation of Transatlantic following the sale by AIG of 29.9 million shares of Transatlantic common stock as well as the deconsolidation of certain investment entities within the Institutional Asset Management business.

    Upon the closing of the Recapitalization, the SPV non-controlling interests will no longer be considered permanent equity on AIG's Consolidated Balance Sheet, and will be classified as redeemable non-controlling interests in partially-owned consolidated subsidiaries.

    See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of AIG's 2009 Financial Statements for further discussion of the terms of the junior and senior non-voting, callable preferred interests.


Earnings (Loss) Per Share (EPS)

    Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted to reflect all stock dividends and stock splits. Diluted earnings per share is based on those shares used in basic EPS plus shares that would have been outstanding assuming issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding, adjusted to reflect all stock dividends and stock splits. Basic earnings (loss) per share is not affected by outstanding stock purchase contracts. Diluted earnings per share is determined considering the potential dilution from outstanding stock purchase contracts using the treasury stock method and will not be affected by outstanding stock purchase contracts until the applicable market value per share exceeds $912.

    In connection with the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, AIG began applying the two-class method for calculating EPS. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method for computing EPS when a company's capital structure includes either two or more classes of common stock or common stock and participating securities. This method determines EPS based on dividends declared on common stock and participating securities (i.e., distributed earnings) as well as participation rights of participating securities in any undistributed earnings.

The number of shares excluded from diluted shares outstanding were 12 million for both the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

11. Restructuring

    Since September 2008, AIG has been working to execute an orderly disposition plan of some of its businesses and assets, protect and enhance the value of its key businesses, and position itself for the future. AIG continually reassesses this plan to maximize value while maintaining flexibility in its liquidity and capital. Successful execution of the restructuring plan involves significant separation activities. Major restructuring activities include the separation of shared services, corporate functions, infrastructure and assets among business units.

    In connection with its restructuring and separation activities, AIG has incurred significant expenses, including legal, banking, accounting, consulting and other professional fees. In addition, AIG is contractually obligated to reimburse or advance certain professional fees and other expenses incurred by the FRBNY and the trustees of the Trust.

    Based on AIG's announced plans, AIG has made estimates of these expenses, although for some restructuring and separation activities estimates cannot be reasonably made due to the evolving nature of the plans and the uncertain timing of the transactions involved. Future reimbursement or advancement payments to the FRBNY and the trustees cannot reasonably be estimated by AIG. Even for those expenses that have been estimated, actual expenses will vary depending on the identity of the ultimate purchasers of the divested entities or counterparties to transactions, the transactions and activities that ultimately are consummated or undertaken, and the ultimate time period over which these activities occur.

    Restructuring and separation expenses that have been cumulatively incurred or can be reasonably expected to be incurred at September 30, 2010, are set forth in the table below, and exclude expenses that could not be reasonably estimated at September 30, 2010, as well as expenses (principally professional fees) that are expected to be capitalized. With respect to the FRBNY and the trustees of the Trust, these amounts include only actual reimbursement and advancement payments made through September 30, 2010.

12. Ownership

    (a)    According to the Schedule 13D as amended through November 1, 2010 filed by Fairholme Capital Management, L.L.C. (Fairholme), Mr. Bruce Berkowitz and Fairholme Funds, Inc. (Fairholme Funds), Fairholme and Mr. Berkowitz each may be deemed to beneficially own 38,258,648 shares of AIG Common Stock and Fairholme Funds may be deemed to beneficially own 34,426,276 shares of AIG Common Stock. Based on the shares of AIG Common Stock outstanding at October 29, 2010 as adjusted to reflect the maximum number of shares of AIG Common Stock that could be issued upon the exchange of the Equity Units that each may be deemed to beneficially own, these ownership interests would represent approximately 27.7 percent of AIG Common Stock for Fairholme and Mr. Berkowitz and 25.0 percent of AIG Common Stock for Fairholme Funds.

    According to the Schedule 13D as amended through March 19, 2010, filed by Maurice R. Greenberg, Edward E. Matthews, Starr International Company, Inc. (Starr International), C.V. Starr & Co. (CV Starr), Inc. and Universal Foundation, Inc. (Universal Foundation) (collectively, the Starr Group), the Starr Group could be deemed to beneficially own 14,105,606 shares of AIG Common Stock at that date. Based on the shares of AIG Common Stock outstanding at October 29, 2010, this ownership would represent approximately 10.4 percent of the outstanding shares of AIG Common Stock. Although these reporting persons may have made filings under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, reporting sales of shares of AIG Common Stock, no amendment to the Schedule 13D has been filed to report a change in ownership subsequent to March 19, 2010.

    At December 31, 2009, AIG's U.S. pension and postretirement plans were underfunded by $325 million and $274 million, respectively. Those amounts included $15 million and $5 million, respectively, for pension and postretirement plans related to businesses designated as held for sale at September 30, 2010.

    At December 31, 2009, AIG's non-U.S. pension and postretirement plans were underfunded by $1.6 billion and $106 million, respectively. Those amounts included $1 billion and $25 million, respectively, for pension and postretirement plans related to businesses designated as held for sale at September 30, 2010.

    As a result of the Fuji acquisition, AIG assumed the obligations related to the Fuji plans. As of September 30, 2010, Fuji's aggregate projected benefit obligation and plan assets were $246 million and $306 million, respectively. See Note 4 herein for more information on the Fuji acquisition.

    For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, AIG contributed $129 million to its U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans and expects to contribute an additional $5 million for the remainder of 2010. These estimates are subject to change since contribution decisions are affected by various factors, including AIG's liquidity, asset dispositions, market performance and management discretion.


Curtailment and Remeasurement of Certain Plans

    In connection with asset sales in 2010 and the designation of AGF as held for sale at September 30, 2010, AIG remeasured certain of its domestic pension and postretirement plans. The assumptions used in the remeasurement of the affected plans were the same as those disclosed at December 31, 2009, except for the discount rates. The discount rate for the largest plan, the AIG U.S. Retirement Plan, is derived from the unadjusted Citigroup Pension Discount Curve. The resulting discount rate declined from six percent at December 31, 2009 to five percent at September 30, 2010, and consequently in the third quarter of 2010, AIG recorded a curtailment pre-tax loss of $1 million, a $535 million increase in Other liabilities, and a decrease in pre-tax Accumulated other comprehensive income of $534 million.

    AIG is unable to estimate the annual effective tax rate for 2010 due to the significant variations in the relationship between income tax expense and pre-tax accounting income or loss; consequently, the actual effective tax rate for the interim periods is being utilized.

    For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, the effective tax rates on pre-tax income from continuing operations were 111.1 percent and 27.5 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 attributable to continuing operations was primarily related to the effect of foreign operations of $41 million and other permanent items of $561 million, partially offset by a net reduction of the valuation allowance of $118 million and tax exempt interest of $143 million. The other permanent items of

$561 million were primarily attributable to $220 million of nondeductible losses, realized gains resulting from transfers of subsidiaries of $78 million, and uncertain tax positions of $76 million. The effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 attributable to continuing operations was primarily related to the effects of tax exempt interest income of $449 million, the excess amount of the Fuji bargain purchase gain for financial reporting over the tax basis which is essentially permanent in duration of $116 million, and a reduction of $443 million in the valuation allowance, partially offset by the effect of foreign operations of $416 million, and other permanent items of $299 million, which were primarily attributable to the nondeductible losses and realized gains resulting from transfers of subsidiaries discussed above.

    For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, the effective tax rates on pre-tax income (loss) from continuing operations were 78.9 percent and 25.9 percent, respectively. The tax benefit reflected for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 attributable to continuing operations was primarily related to changes in the estimated U.S. tax liability with respect to the potential sale of subsidiaries of $931 million, partially offset by an increase of $108 million in the reserve for uncertain tax positions, a net increase in the valuation allowance of $405 million, and the effect of foreign operations of $122 million. The tax benefit reflected in the effective tax rate attributable to continuing operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 was primarily related to changes in the estimated U.S. tax liability with respect to the potential sale of subsidiaries of $740 million and tax exempt interest of $521 million, partially offset by an increase of $514 million in the reserve for uncertain tax positions, an increase in valuation allowance of $336 million and the effects of variable interest entity losses of $371 million.

Assessment of Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowances

    AIG evaluates the recoverability of the deferred tax asset and establishes a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized (a likelihood of more than 50 percent). Significant judgment is required to determine whether a valuation allowance is necessary and the amount of such valuation allowance, if appropriate.

    When assessing the realization of its deferred tax asset at September 30, 2010, AIG considered all available evidence, including:

the nature, frequency, and severity of cumulative financial reporting losses in recent years;

certain transactions, including the recognition of the gains on asset sales, and the initial public offering of AIA;

the carryforward periods for the net operating and capital loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards; and

tax planning strategies that would be implemented, if necessary, to protect against the loss of the deferred tax asset.

    Estimates of future gains generated from specific transactions and tax planning strategies discussed below could change in the near term, perhaps materially, which may require AIG to adjust its valuation allowance. Such adjustment, either positive or negative, could be material to AIG's consolidated financial condition or its results of operations for an individual reporting period.

    When estimating the fair values of the subsidiaries to be divested, AIG considered, among other information, valuations prepared for various purposes. During the first quarter of 2010, AIG increased its estimate of the AIA and ALICO expected divestiture proceeds following an updated assessment of the range of valuation estimates that considered, among other factors, the expected proceeds from the sales to Prudential plc and MetLife announced in that quarter, which gave rise to a $910 million reduction in the valuation allowance. During the third quarter, based on the expectation of lower proceeds from the sale of AIA ordinary shares, the realization amount of the deferred tax assets was reduced by increasing valuation allowance of $1.3 billion.

    At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG's U.S. consolidated income tax group had net deferred tax assets after valuation allowances of $3.8 billion and $8.6 billion, respectively. Realization of AIG's net deferred tax asset depends upon its ability to generate gains on asset sales and the initial public offering of AIA, the sale of ALICO and tax planning strategies that would be implemented, if necessary, to protect against the loss of the deferred tax asset. However, the realization of the net deferred tax asset does not depend on projected future operating income of the U.S. consolidated income tax group. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG's U.S. consolidated income tax group had deferred tax asset valuation allowances of $19.9 billion and $20.4 billion, respectively.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, AIG recorded a reduction in the U.S. consolidated income tax group deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $1.2 billion primarily attributable to a reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $175 million related to an increase in the expected gains from the divestiture of ALICO, a reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $4.5 billion related to the total other comprehensive income movement primarily attributable to unrealized appreciation in the available for sale securities portfolio, an offsetting increase in the valuation allowance of $525 million related to lower proceeds from the initial public offering of AIA, an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $1.2 billion related to the estimated U.S. tax liability with respect to the investment in subsidiaries associated with goodwill impairment charges, an increase in the deferred tax valuation allowance of $660 million attributable to the estimated pre-tax loss on the planned disposition of AGF, and an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $589 million related to a reduction in tax planning strategies.

    The significant unrealized appreciation in the available for sale securities portfolio partially offset by activity in other comprehensive income reduced the net deferred tax asset before valuation allowances, allowing a reduction of $4.5 billion of valuation allowance.

    During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, AIG changed its planned securitization of an insurance portfolio because it is pursuing more attractive opportunities to provide liquidity. This planned securitization previously supported $589 million of the U.S. consolidated income tax group's deferred tax assets.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, $386 million of the reduction in valuation allowance was allocated to continuing operations and $791 million was allocated to Accumulated other comprehensive income. This allocation was based on the primacy of continuing operations, which allows for a net reduction in valuation allowance to be attributed to continuing operations to the extent of the related deferred tax expense attributable to continuing operations. The reduction is partially offset by $589 million of change in the planned securitization and $525 million related to an expectation of lower proceeds from the AIA initial public offering. The remaining reduction in valuation allowance was allocated to accumulated other comprehensive income.

    For the three months ended September 30, 2010, $141 million of the reduction in valuation allowance was allocated to continuing operations and $862 million was allocated to Accumulated other comprehensive income.

    At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG had net deferred tax liabilities of $2.6 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, related to foreign subsidiaries, state and local tax jurisdictions, and certain domestic subsidiaries that file separate tax returns.

    At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG had deferred tax asset valuation allowances of $2.6 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively, related to foreign subsidiaries, state and local tax jurisdictions, and certain domestic subsidiaries that file separate tax returns. The change is primarily due to a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $1.3 billion reclassified to Assets held for sale partially offset by an additional deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $693 million associated with the purchase of additional shares of Fuji, recorded through purchase accounting.

    At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG had deferred tax assets related to stock compensation of $233 million and $178 million, respectively. Due to AIG's current stock price, these deferred tax assets may not be realizable in the future. The accounting guidance for share based payments precludes AIG from recognizing an impairment charge on this asset until the related stock awards are exercised, vest or expire. Any charge associated with the deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance, is reported in Additional paid-in capital until the pool of previously recognized tax benefits recorded in Additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero. Income tax expense would be recognized for any additional charge. AIG has a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset related to stock based compensation as of September 30, 2010. Any reversal of the deferred tax asset due to awards that have been exercised, vested or expired is offset by a reversing valuation allowance with no net impact to the AIG's financial statements. Accordingly, no amount is recorded to Additional paid-in capital for the shortfall of the current-year share-based compensation deductions, and thus there is no decrease to the pool of previously unrecognized tax benefits recorded in Additional paid-in capital. At both September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the pool of previously recognized tax benefits recorded in Additional paid-in capital was $142.6 million.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

    At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG's unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were $5.3 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively. At both September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG's unrecognized tax benefits were $1.6 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, related to tax positions the disallowance of which would not affect the effective tax rate as they relate to such factors as the timing, rather than the permissibility, of the deduction. Accordingly, at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate were $3.7 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively.

    Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG had accrued $825 million and $835 million, respectively, for the payment of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, AIG recognized $74 million and $199 million, respectively, of interest (net of federal benefit) and penalties in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).

    AIG regularly evaluates adjustments proposed by taxing authorities. At September 30, 2010, such proposed adjustments would not have resulted in a material change to AIG's consolidated financial condition, although it is possible that the effect could be material to AIG's consolidated results of operations for an individual reporting period. Although it is reasonably possible that a change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months, at this time it is not possible to estimate the range of the change due to the uncertainty of the potential outcomes.

16. Subsequent Events

    On October 29, 2010, AIG completed an initial public offering of 8.08 billion ordinary shares of AIA for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $20.51 billion. Upon completion of the initial public offering, AIG owned approximately 33 percent of AIA's outstanding shares. Accordingly in the fourth quarter of 2010, AIG will deconsolidate AIA and expects to record a material gain on the transaction. Under the terms of an agreement with the underwriters, AIG is precluded from selling or hedging any of its remaining shares of AIA until October 18, 2011 and more than half of its remaining shares of AIA until April 18, 2012. Based on AIG's significant continuing involvement through its equity ownership AIA is not being presented as a discontinued operation in the Consolidated Financial Statements at September 30, 2010. At October 29, 2010, the fair value of AIG's retained interest in AIA was approximately $11.8 billion.

    On November 1, 2010, AIG closed the sale of ALICO to MetLife and received net cash consideration of $7.2 billion (which included an upward price adjustment of approximately $400 million pursuant to the terms of the ALICO stock purchase agreement), 78,239,712 shares of MetLife common stock, 6,857,000 shares of newly issued MetLife participating preferred stock convertible into 68,570,000 shares of MetLife common stock upon the approval of MetLife shareholders, and 40,000,000 equity units of MetLife with an aggregate stated value of $3.0 billion. AIG intends to monetize these MetLife securities over time, subject to market conditions, following the lapse of agreed-upon minimum holding periods. AIG expects to record a material gain on the transaction in the fourth quarter.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

    This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other publicly available documents may include, and AIG's officers and representatives may from time to time make, projections and statements which may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These projections and statements are not historical facts but instead represent only AIG's belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside AIG's control. These projections and statements may address, among other things:

108


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

    It is possible that AIG's actual results and financial condition will differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these projections and statements. Factors that could cause AIG's actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those in the specific projections and statements include:

    AIG is not under any obligation (and expressly disclaims any obligation) to update or alter any projection or other statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

    Throughout this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, AIG presents its operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful, as well as most transparent. Certain of the measurements used by AIG management are "non-GAAP financial measures" under SEC rules and regulations. Underwriting profit (loss) is utilized to report results for AIG's General Insurance operations and pre-tax income (loss) before net realized capital gains (losses) is utilized to report results for AIG's life insurance and retirement services operations as these measures enhance the understanding of the underlying profitability of the ongoing operations of these businesses and allow for more meaningful comparisons with AIG's insurance competitors.

    AIG has also incorporated into this discussion a number of cross-references to additional information included throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K to assist readers seeking additional information related to a particular subject.

AIA Initial Public Offering

    During the second quarter of 2010, AIG and Prudential plc terminated the AIA purchase agreement they had entered in March 2010 and in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement, Prudential plc paid AIG a termination fee of $228 million, which was included in Net loss (gain) on sale of divested businesses in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) during the second quarter of 2010. As a result of the termination, AIA is presented as part of continuing operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements (AIA was previously presented as discontinued operations upon the entry into the purchase agreement in March 2010). See Note 2 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of segment reporting presentation.

    On October 29, 2010, AIG completed an initial public offering of 8.08 billion ordinary shares of AIA for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $20.51 billion. Upon completion of the initial public offering, AIG owned approximately 33 percent of AIA's outstanding shares. Accordingly in the fourth quarter of 2010, AIG will deconsolidate AIA and expects to record a material gain on the transaction. Under the terms of an agreement with the underwriters, AIG is precluded from selling or hedging any of its remaining shares of AIA until October 18, 2011 and more than half of its remaining shares of AIA until April 18, 2012. Based on AIG's significant continuing involvement through its equity ownership AIA is not being presented as a discontinued operation in the Consolidated Financial Statements at September 30, 2010. At October 29, 2010 the fair value of AIG's retained interest in AIA was approximately $11.8 billion.

    Under the Recapitalization Agreement in Principle, net cash proceeds from the AIA public offering will be held in escrow pending the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement in Principle. Upon the Closing of such transactions, these cash proceeds will be loaned by AIA Aurora LLC to AIG and will be used to repay amounts owing under the FRBNY Credit Facility. If the transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement in Principle are not completed, AIG expects that the net proceeds would instead be used to pay down the liquidation preference of the AIA SPV Preferred Interests held by FRBNY, including preferred returns. AIG expects that, unless otherwise agreed with the FRBNY, any excess would then be used to repay any outstanding debt under the FRBNY Credit Facility.

    The value of the AIA shares that AIG will continue to hold following the initial public offering of AIA will fluctuate until the ultimate disposition by AIG of the AIA shares. The value of the AIA shares will rise and fall in response to various factors beyond the control of AIG, including the business and financial performance of AIA. The agreement with the underwriters precludes AIG from entering into hedging transactions that might protect AIG against fluctuations in the value of its remaining interests in AIA while those restrictions are in place.


ALICO Sale

    On March 7, 2010, AIG and ALICO Holdings LLC (ALICO SPV), a special purpose vehicle formed by AIG, entered into a definitive agreement with MetLife for the sale of ALICO by ALICO SPV to MetLife, and the sale of Delaware American Life Insurance Company by AIG to MetLife, for consideration then valued at approximately $15.5 billion, consisting of $6.8 billion in cash and the remainder in equity securities of MetLife, subject to closing adjustments. The ALICO sale closed on November 1, 2010. The fair market value of the consideration at closing was approximately $16.2 billion.

    On the closing date, as consideration for the ALICO sale, ALICO SPV received net cash consideration of $7.2 billion (which included an upward price adjustment of approximately $400 million pursuant to the terms of the ALICO stock purchase agreement), 78,239,712 shares of MetLife common stock, 6,857,000 shares of newly issued participating preferred stock convertible into 68,570,000 shares of MetLife common stock upon the approval of MetLife shareholders, and 40,000,000 equity units of MetLife with an aggregate stated value of $3.0 billion. AIG intends to monetize these MetLife securities over time, subject to market conditions, following

the lapse of agreed-upon minimum holding periods. AIG expects to record a material gain on the transaction in the fourth quarter.

    Under the Recapitalization, net cash proceeds from the ALICO sale will be held in escrow pending the Closing. Upon the Closing of the Recapitalization, these cash proceeds will be loaned by ALICO SPV to AIG and will be used to repay amounts owing under the Credit Agreement. If the Recapitalization is not completed, AIG expects that the cash proceeds would instead be paid to the FRBNY in its capacity as holder of preferred interests in ALICO SPV to reduce the aggregate outstanding liquidation preference of those preferred interests.

    Prior to conversion into MetLife common stock, the participating preferred stock will be entitled to dividends equivalent, on an as-converted basis, to those that may be declared from time to time on MetLife common stock.

    Each of the equity units of MetLife has an initial stated amount of $75 and consists of an ownership interest in three series of senior debt securities of MetLife and three stock purchase contracts with a weighted average life of approximately three years. The stock purchase contracts obligate the holder of an equity unit to purchase, and obligate MetLife to sell, a number of shares of MetLife common stock that will be determined based on the market price of MetLife common stock at the scheduled settlement dates under the stock purchase contracts (a minimum of 67,764,000 shares and a maximum of 84,696,000 shares in the aggregate for all equity units, subject to anti-dilution adjustments). The equity units provide for the remarketing of the senior debt securities to fund the purchase price of the MetLife common stock. They also entitle the holder to receive interest payments on the senior debt securities and deferrable contract payments at a combined rate equal to 5% of their stated amount. The equity units have been placed in escrow as collateral to secure payments, if any, in respect of indemnity obligations owed by ALICO SPV to MetLife under the ALICO stock purchase agreement and other transaction agreements. The escrow collateral will be released to ALICO SPV over a 30-month period, to the extent not used to make indemnity payments or to secure pending indemnity claims submitted by MetLife.

    The value of the MetLife securities received in the sale of ALICO will continue to fluctuate until the ultimate monetization by AIG of the MetLife securities. These fluctuations will be influenced by market prices of MetLife securities generally, and the market prices of MetLife common stock in particular, which will rise and fall in response to various factors beyond the control of AIG, including the business and financial performance of MetLife. AIG is subject in each case to agreed-upon minimum holding periods that also restrict AIG's ability to enter into hedging transactions that might protect AIG against fluctuations in the value of the securities consideration. These minimum holding periods and hedging restrictions cannot be altered without the consent of MetLife, so AIG will bear the risk of these market price fluctuations during the applicable holding periods. The amount of any gain or loss recognized by AIG upon each sale will depend upon the fair value of the securities consideration received as of closing and the proceeds received by AIG from the monetization of the securities. This may also result in AIG realizing ultimate cash proceeds from the monetization of the securities consideration that are substantially less than what might be expected from the value of such consideration as of the date of the closing of the sale.


AGF Sale

    On August 10, 2010, AIG entered into a definitive agreement to sell 80 percent of AGF for $125 million. Since AIG's voting ownership interest in AGF will fall below 20 percent, AGF has been reclassified to discontinued operations. As a result of this transaction, AIG recorded an estimated pre-tax loss of approximately $1.9 billion in the third quarter of 2010. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2010 subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.


AIG Star and AIG Edison Sale

    On September 29, 2010, AIG entered into a definitive agreement with Prudential Financial, Inc. for the sale of its Japan-based insurance subsidiaries AIG Star and AIG Edison for $4.8 billion, less the principal balance of certain outstanding debt owed by AIG Star and AIG Edison as of the closing date. As of September 30, 2010, the outstanding principal balance of the debt approximated $0.6 billion. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2011, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

Nan Shan Transaction

    In the fourth quarter of 2009, AIG entered into an agreement to sell its 97.57 percent share of Nan Shan for approximately $2.15 billion. On August 31, 2010, the Taiwan Financial Supervisory Commission did not approve the sale of Nan Shan to the purchasers. Although the sale was not approved by regulatory authorities in Taiwan, AIG is pursuing other opportunities to divest Nan Shan and believes the proceeds from the sale of this business will approximate the previous sale amount. In addition, AIG believes it will complete the sale of Nan Shan within 12 months with similar terms and conditions. Therefore, AIG continues to classify Nan Shan as held-for-sale and as a discontinued operation. This is based on management's expressed intent to exit the life insurance market in Taiwan.

    See Notes 1 and 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these transactions.


Sale of Interest in Transatlantic

    On March 15, 2010, AIG closed a secondary public offering of 8,466,693 shares of Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. (Transatlantic) common stock owned by American Home Assurance Company, a subsidiary of AIG, for aggregate gross proceeds of $452 million.


ILFC Liquidity

    During the first nine months of 2010, ILFC significantly increased its liquidity position through a combination of new secured and unsecured debt issuances of approximately $8.8 billion and an extension of the maturity date of $2.16 billion of its $2.5 billion revolving credit facility from October 2011 to October 2012. Approximately $4.0 billion of the $4.4 billion in debt issued in the third quarter of 2010 was used to repay loans from AIG. AIG used the $4.0 billion received from ILFC to reduce the principal amount outstanding under the FRBNY Credit Facility. Availability of $318 million of debt issuances is subject to the satisfaction of certain collateralization milestones. In addition, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, ILFC agreed to sell 64 aircraft to third parties, of which 59 aircraft, with an aggregate book value of approximately $2.6 billion, met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. These sales are expected to generate approximately $2.3 billion in gross proceeds during 2010. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, 35 of the 64 aircraft were sold, of which 31 had been classified as held for sale. At September 30, 2010, 28 aircraft were recorded in Assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the sales are expected to be completed for most of these aircraft during the remainder of 2010.


2010 Financial Overview

    AIG's income from continuing operations before income taxes amounted to $422 million in the third quarter of 2010, an increase of $939 million compared to the same period of 2009. These results reflected the following:

    These improvements were partially offset by the following:

114

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

    Additionally, AIG recorded a net loss from discontinued operations of $1.8 billion during the third quarter of 2010, which included a goodwill impairment charge of $1.3 billion related to the sale of AIG Star and AIG Edison as well as an estimated pre-tax loss of $1.9 billion on the sale of AGF.


Consideration of AIG's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

    In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management has assessed whether AIG has the ability to continue as a going concern. In making this assessment, AIG has considered:

    In considering these items, management made significant judgments and estimates with respect to the potentially adverse financial and liquidity effects of AIG's risks and uncertainties. Management also assessed other items and risks arising in AIG's businesses and made reasonable judgments and estimates with respect thereto. After consideration, management believes that it will have adequate liquidity to finance and operate AIG's businesses and continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months.

    It is possible that the actual outcome of one or more of management's plans could be materially different, that one or more of management's significant judgments or estimates about the potential effects of these risks and uncertainties could prove to be materially incorrect and that AIG could fail to complete the Recapitalization. If one or more of these possible outcomes is realized and third party financing and existing liquidity sources, including those from the U.S. Government, are not sufficient, without continued support from the U.S. Government in the future there could exist substantial doubt about AIG's ability to operate as a going concern.

    See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding going concern considerations.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Liquidity

Overview

    At September 30, 2010, remaining amounts available under the FRBNY Credit Facility and the Department of the Treasury Commitment were $14.9 billion and $22.3 billion, respectively, compared to $17.1 billion and $24.5 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2009.

    AIG manages liquidity at both the parent and subsidiary levels. AIG expects the parent's primary uses of available cash will be debt service and subsidiary funding. AIG expects that dividends, distributions, and other payments from subsidiaries will support AIG Parent's liquidity needs. The FRBNY Credit Facility is also expected to continue to be a source of liquidity until the Closing of the Recapitalization, as described more fully above, whereby AIG intends to fully repay and terminate the FRBNY Credit Facility. In addition, although the Department of the Treasury Commitment may also be used as a source of funding, primarily to support the capital needs of AIG's insurance company subsidiaries, AIG does not expect to utilize the Department of the Treasury Commitment for this purpose. Instead, AIG expects to use the Department of the Treasury Commitment as described under Repurchase and Exchange of the SPV Preferred Interests under Recapitalization above.

    Until the Closing and unless otherwise agreed with the FRBNY, net proceeds from the sales of operations and assets are expected to be used to repay any outstanding debt under the FRBNY Credit Facility, after taking into account taxes, transaction expenses and capital required to be retained for regulatory or ratings purposes except proceeds from the sale of the MetLife securities and the remaining AIA shares must be used to reduce the liquidation preference of the SPV Preferred Interests.

    In the event the Recapitalization does not close, AIG expects that the FRBNY Credit Facility and the Department of the Treasury Commitment will continue to be available under the existing terms and conditions to support AIG Parent's liquidity needs.

    AIG expects that its subsidiaries will be able to continue to meet their obligations as they come due for at least the next twelve months through cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, maturing investments and asset sales as well as potential debt issuances.

    See further discussion regarding AIG's liquidity considerations in Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries.

Analysis of sources and uses of cash

The following table presents selected data from AIG's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows:

Cash at end of period

  $ 1,668   $ 4,957  
   

    Net cash provided by operating activities was positive for both the nine months of 2010 and 2009, principally due to continued positive cash flows from AIG's life insurance subsidiaries.

    Insurance companies generally receive most premiums in advance of the payment of claims or policy benefits, but the ability of general insurance operations to generate positive cash flow is affected by operating expenses, the frequency and severity of losses under its insurance policies, as well as by policy retention rates. Cash provided by

General Insurance operations was $1.0 billion for the first nine months of 2010 compared to $1.5 billion in the same period in 2009 as a reduction in claims paid was partially offset by declines in premiums collected, arising primarily from a decrease in domestic production. Catastrophic events and significant casualty losses, the timing and effect of which are inherently unpredictable, reduce operating cash flow for AIG's General Insurance operations. Cash provided by AIG's life insurance subsidiaries, including entities presented as discontinued operations, was $10.1 billion for the first nine months of 2010 compared to $5.7 billion in the same period in 2009 as growth in international markets was partially offset by a decrease in cash flows from domestic operations. Cash flows provided from Financial Services including entities presented as discontinued operations were $3.4 billion and $4.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease can be attributed in part to the continued wind-down of Capital Markets' businesses and portfolio.

    The Capital Markets wind-down and other segment developments affecting net income described above are further discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

    Accrued compounding interest and fees (reflected as non-cash expenses) were paid in kind in both periods under the provisions of the FRBNY Credit Facility and, accordingly, did not reduce operating cash flow in either period. Debt under the FRBNY Credit Facility includes total accrued compounding interest and fees of $6.2 billion at September 30, 2010, the payment of which will be reflected as a reduction in operating cash flows in the period that the accrued compounding interest and fees for the FRBNY Credit Facility are paid.

    Net cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2010 primarily resulted from net purchases of fixed maturity securities due to AIG's ability to invest cash generated from operating activities, and the redeployment of liquidity that had been accumulated by the insurance companies in the 2008 and 2009 time frame. In the first nine months of 2009, Net cash provided by investing activities resulted from the net proceeds from the sale and maturity of investments.

    Net cash used in financing activities was significantly lower in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, primarily as a result of declines in policyholder contract withdrawals, reflecting improved conditions for the life insurance and retirement services businesses, as well as the issuances of long-term debt by ILFC, which is discussed in Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries — Financial Services — ILFC. See Contractual Obligations herein for additional information.

(b)
Excludes interest payable of $2.3 million at September 30, 2010, which was included in Other liabilities.

(c)
The FRBNY has been considering whether prior payments made by AIG to repay the FRBNY Credit Facility from asset sales should be treated as mandatory prepayments that reduce the amount available under the FRBNY Credit Facility. If the FRBNY takes this position, at September 30, 2010, this would reduce the amount available to be borrowed under the FRBNY Credit Facility by approximately $3.6 billion. Such reduction in the FRBNY Credit Facility would trigger accelerated amortization of the prepaid commitment fee asset of approximately $600 million.

    As noted above, AIG intends to fully repay and terminate the FRBNY Credit Facility upon the Closing of the Recapitalization transaction.


Department of the Treasury Commitment

    On April 17, 2009, AIG entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Department of the Treasury, pursuant to which (i) AIG issued to the Department of the Treasury (a) 300,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, and (b) a warrant to purchase 150 shares of AIG Common Stock, and (ii) the Department of the Treasury agreed to provide up to $29.835 billion pursuant to the Department of the Treasury Commitment in exchange for increases in the liquidation preference of the Series F Preferred Stock. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in AIG's 2009 Financial Statements for further discussion.

    Additional details regarding liquidity sources are included in Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries below.


AIG's Strategy for Stabilization and Repayment of its Obligations as They Come Due

    AIG expects that the repayment of future debt maturities (including the FRBNY Credit Facility) and the payment of the preferred returns and liquidation preference on the SPV Preferred Interests will be its primary uses of available cash over the next 12 months. Until the Closing and unless otherwise agreed with the FRBNY, net proceeds from the sales of operations and assets are expected to be used to repay any outstanding debt under the FRBNY Credit Facility, after taking into account taxes, transaction expenses and capital required to be retained for regulatory or ratings purposes. This is exclusive of proceeds from the sale of the MetLife securities and the remaining AIA shares, which must be used to reduce the liquidation preference of the SPV Preferred Interests.

    See Recapitalization above for a discussion of the expected use of proceeds under the Recapitalization.

AIG Parent

The following table presents AIG Parent's sources of liquidity:

Cash and short-term investments

    AIG believes that it has sufficient liquidity at the AIG Parent level to meet its obligations through at least the next twelve months. However, no assurance can be given that AIG's cash needs will not exceed projected amounts. Additional collateral calls, deterioration in investment portfolios or reserve strengthening affecting statutory surplus, higher surrenders of annuities and other policies, further downgrades in AIG's credit ratings, catastrophic losses, or a further deterioration in the super senior credit default swap portfolio may result in significant additional cash needs, or loss of some sources of liquidity, or both. Regulatory and other legal restrictions could limit AIG's ability to transfer funds freely, either to or from its subsidiaries.

    Historically, AIG has depended on dividends, distributions, and other payments from subsidiaries to fund payments on its obligations. In light of AIG's current financial situation, certain of its regulated subsidiaries are restricted from making dividend payments, or advancing funds, to AIG. As a result, AIG has also been dependent on the FRBNY as a primary source of liquidity, and on the Department of the Treasury Commitment to support the capital needs of AIG's insurance company subsidiaries. However, upon the Closing of the Recapitalization, AIG intends to fully repay and terminate the FRBNY Credit Facility. In addition, AIG also expects to draw down a significant portion of the availability under the Department of the Treasury Commitment to purchase a portion

of the SPV Preferred Interests. In the first nine months of 2010, AIG Parent collected $1.3 billion in dividends and other payments from subsidiaries (primarily from insurance company subsidiaries), which included $884 million in dividends from Chartis U.S.

    AIG's primary uses of cash flow are for debt service and subsidiary funding. In the first nine months of 2010, AIG Parent retired $850 million of debt and made interest payments totaling $1.3 billion, excluding MIP and Series AIGFP debt. AIG Parent made $2.6 billion in net capital contributions to subsidiaries in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, of which the majority was contributed to AIG Capital Corporation, enabling AIG Capital Corporation to redeem its preferred securities held by a Chartis U.S. subsidiary. In addition, in the first nine months of 2010, AIG Parent made net loan repayments of $800 million to AGF. At September 30, 2010, AIG Parent owes AGF $750 million under a demand note.

    At the current time, AIG Parent has no intention of accessing the commercial paper market, one of its traditional sources for its short-term working capital needs. Upon the Closing of the Recapitalization as described above, AIG expects to have access to approximately $8.5 to $10.0 billion of actual and contingent liquidity, including cash and short-term investments, senior unsecured credit facilities, and the Series G Drawdown Right. AIG also intends to re-access the long-term debt markets in the fourth quarter of 2010.

General Insurance

    AIG currently expects that its Chartis subsidiaries will be able to continue to meet their obligations as they come due through cash from operations and, to the extent necessary, asset dispositions. One or more large catastrophes, however, may require AIG to provide additional support to the affected General Insurance operations. In addition, further downgrades in AIG's credit ratings could put pressure on the insurer financial strength ratings of its subsidiaries which could result in non-renewals or cancellations by policyholders and adversely affect the subsidiary's ability to meet its own obligations and require AIG to provide capital or liquidity support to the subsidiary. Increases in market interest rates may adversely affect the financial strength ratings of General Insurance subsidiaries as rating agency capital models may reduce the amount of available capital relative to required capital.

    Given the size and liquidity profile of AIG's General Insurance investment portfolios, AIG believes that deviations from its projected claim experience do not constitute a significant liquidity risk. AIG's asset/liability management process takes into account the expected maturity of investments and the specific nature and risk profile of liabilities. Historically, there has been no significant variation between the expected maturities of AIG's General Insurance investments and the payment of claims. See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Investments for further information.

Domestic and Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations

    The most significant potential liquidity needs of AIG's Domestic and Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services companies are the funding of surrenders and withdrawals. A substantial increase in these needs could place stress on the liquidity of these companies. However, management considers the sources of liquidity for Domestic and Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services subsidiaries adequate to meet foreseeable liquidity needs. These subsidiaries generally have been lengthening their maturity profile by purchasing investment grade fixed income securities, in order to reduce the high levels of liquidity which had been maintained during 2009. Given the size and liquidity profile of AIG's Domestic and Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services investment portfolios, AIG believes that deviations from their projected claim experience do not constitute a significant liquidity risk. A significant increase in policy surrenders and withdrawals, which could be triggered by a variety of factors, including AIG specific concerns, could result in a substantial liquidity strain. Other potential events causing a liquidity strain could include economic collapse of a nation or region significant to Domestic and Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations, nationalization, catastrophic terrorist acts, pandemics or other economic or political upheaval.

    AIG believes that its Domestic and Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services companies currently have adequate capital to support their business plans. However, to the extent that these subsidiaries experience

121


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries


significant future losses or declines in their investment portfolios, AIG may need to contribute capital to these companies.

Financial Services

    AIG's major Financial Services operating subsidiaries consist of ILFC and AIGFP. Certain traditional sources of funds to meet the short-term liquidity needs of these operations are generally no longer available. These sources included issuance of commercial paper and bank credit facilities. However, during the first nine months of 2010, ILFC made significant progress in addressing its foreseeable liquidity needs, as further described below. In addition, AIG has sold a substantial portion of its consumer finance operations.

ILFC

    During the first nine months of 2010, ILFC borrowed $327 million to refinance five aircraft and finance five new aircraft under its ECA Facility, borrowed $5.2 billion through secured financing arrangements, issued $2.75 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes in private placements and issued $500 million in unsecured senior notes under a shelf registration statement.

    During the second quarter of 2010, ILFC amended its bank facilities and term loans to increase its capacity to enter into secured financings to 35 percent of its consolidated tangible net assets as defined in its revolving credit facilities, which assets approximated $15.0 billion (subject to the satisfaction of certain collateralization milestones and prepayment requirements), and extended the maturity date of $2.16 billion of its $2.5 billion revolving credit facility from October 2011 to October 2012.

    In addition, as mentioned above, ILFC agreed to sell 64 aircraft to third parties. These sales are expected to generate approximately $2.3 billion in gross proceeds during 2010. Most of the sales of the individual aircraft are expected to be consummated during the remainder of 2010 and the related proceeds are receivable upon the completion of each individual sale. As part of its ongoing fleet strategy, ILFC may pursue additional potential aircraft sales. ILFC management is balancing the need for funds with the long-term value of holding aircraft and other financing alternatives.

    Because the current market for aircraft is depressed due to the economic downturn and limited availability of buyer financing, it is likely that if additional aircraft are sold to meet ILFC's ongoing fleet strategy, realized losses may be incurred. In the first nine months of 2010, ILFC recorded asset impairment charges aggregating $872 million and operating lease related losses of $90 million.

    AIG expects that ILFC's existing cash balances, future cash flows from operations, potential debt issuances and aircraft sales will be sufficient for ILFC to meet its existing obligations for at least the next twelve months.


ILFC Notes and Bonds Payable

    As of September 30, 2010, notes and bonds aggregating $16.3 billion were outstanding with maturity dates ranging from 2010 to 2018. To the extent considered appropriate, ILFC may enter into swap transactions to manage its effective borrowing rates with respect to these notes and bonds.

    On August 20, 2010, ILFC issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875 percent senior unsecured notes due September 1, 2017. Part of the proceeds from this debt issuance were used to repay loans from AIG. AIG used the proceeds received from ILFC to reduce the principal amount outstanding under the FRBNY Credit Facility.

    On March 22, 2010 and April 6, 2010, ILFC issued a combined $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 8.625 percent senior notes due September 15, 2015, and $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 8.750 percent senior notes due March 15, 2017 in private placements. The notes are due in full on their scheduled maturity dates.

    In 2009, ILFC entered into term loan agreements (the Term Loans) with AIG Funding in the amount of $3.9 billion. The Term Loans were secured by a portfolio of aircraft and all related equipment and leases. These Term Loans were scheduled to mature on September 13, 2013. The funds for the Term Loans were provided to

AIG Funding through the FRBNY Credit Facility. As a condition of the FRBNY approving the Term Loans, ILFC entered into agreements to guarantee the repayment of AIG's obligations under the FRBNY Credit Agreement up to an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding balance of the Term Loans. ILFC prepaid the balances due under the Term Loans on August 20, 2010. As a result of ILFC's repayment of the Term Loans from AIG Funding, ILFC no longer guarantees AIG's obligations under the FRBNY Credit Agreement, and the FRBNY released its liens on the collateral securing these loans.


ILFC ECA Facilities

    ILFC has a $4.3 billion 1999 ECA Facility that was used in connection with the purchase of 62 Airbus aircraft delivered through 2001. This facility is guaranteed by various European Export Credit Agencies. The interest rate varies from 5.83 percent to 5.86 percent on these amortizing ten-year borrowings depending on the delivery date of the aircraft. At September 30, 2010, ILFC had 15 loans with a remaining principal balance of $56 million outstanding under this facility. At September 30, 2010, the net book value of the related aircraft was $1.6 billion. The debt is collateralized by a pledge of shares of an ILFC subsidiary, which holds title to the aircraft financed under the facility.

    ILFC has a similarly structured 2004 ECA Facility, which was amended in May 2009 to allow ILFC to borrow up to a maximum of $4.6 billion to fund the purchase of Airbus aircraft delivered through September 30, 2010. This facility is also guaranteed by various European Export Credit Agencies. The interest rates are either LIBOR based with spreads ranging from (0.04) percent to 2.25 percent or at fixed rates ranging from 3.40 percent to 4.71 percent. At September 30, 2010, ILFC had financed 76 aircraft using approximately $4.3 billion under this facility and approximately $2.8 billion was outstanding. At September 30, 2010, the interest rate of the loans outstanding ranged from 0.47 percent to 4.71 percent. The debt is collateralized by a pledge of shares of a subsidiary of ILFC, which holds title to the aircraft financed under the facility. At September 30, 2010, the net book value of the related aircraft was approximately $4.4 billion. Borrowings with respect to these facilities are included in ILFC's notes and bonds payable in the table below.

    ILFC borrowed $327 million to refinance five aircraft and finance five new aircraft under the 2004 ECA Facility during the first nine months of 2010. ILFC's current credit ratings require (i) the segregation of security deposits, maintenance reserves and rental payments received for aircraft funded under both its 1999 and 2004 ECA Facilities into separate accounts, controlled by the trustees of the 1999 and 2004 ECA Facilities; and (ii) the filings of individual mortgages on the aircraft funded under the facility in the respective local jurisdictions in which the aircraft is registered. At September 30, 2010, ILFC had segregated security deposits, maintenance reserves and rental payments aggregating $361 million related to such aircraft. Segregated rental payments are used to pay scheduled principal and interest on the ECA facilities as they become due.

    During the first quarter of 2010, ILFC entered into agreements to cross-collateralize the two ECA Facilities. In conjunction with the agreement, ILFC agreed to an acceleration event, which would accelerate debt related to the ten aircraft financed during 2010 if, among other things, ILFC were to sell aircraft with an aggregate book value exceeding an agreed upon amount, currently approximately $10.6 billion, within a period starting from the date of the agreement until December 31, 2012.

    New financings are no longer available to ILFC under either the 1999 or 2004 ECA facility.


ILFC Bank Financings and Other Secured Financings

    At September 30, 2010, the total funded amount of ILFC's bank financings was $4.6 billion, which includes $4.5 billion of revolving credit facilities. The fundings mature through October 2012. The interest rates are LIBOR-based, with spreads ranging from 0.65 percent to 2.15 percent. At September 30, 2010, the interest rates ranged from 0.91 percent to 2.44 percent.

    On August 20, 2010, ILFC issued $1.35 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.5 percent senior secured notes due September 1, 2014, $1.275 billion of aggregate principal amount of 6.75 percent senior secured notes due September 1, 2016, and $1.275 billion of aggregate principal amount of 7.125 percent senior secured notes due

September 1, 2018. The proceeds from these debt issuances were used to repay loans from AIG. AIG used the proceeds received from ILFC to reduce the principal amount outstanding under the FRBNY Credit Facility.

    During the second quarter of 2010, ILFC amended covenants under its revolving credit facilities and bank term loans to increase its capacity to enter into secured financings from 12.5 percent to 35 percent of its consolidated tangible net assets, as defined in its credit facility agreement, which assets approximated $15.0 billion (subject to the satisfaction of certain collateralization milestones and prepayment requirements). In conjunction with the amendment, ILFC (i) extended the maturity date of $2.16 billion of its $2.5 billion revolving credit facility from October 2011 to October 2012, with the loan secured by aircraft with an initial loan-to-value ratio of 75 percent, and increased the interest rate by 1.5 percent; (ii) pre-paid $410 million of bank term debt with original maturity dates through 2012; and, (iii) increased the interest rate by 1.5 percent on $75 million principal amount of bank term debt. On October 7, 2010, ILFC prepaid in full the $2.0 billion principal amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility with a scheduled maturity date of October 14, 2010.

    On March 17, 2010, ILFC entered into a $750 million term loan agreement secured by 43 aircraft and all related equipment and leases. The loan matures on March 17, 2015, and bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 4.75 percent with a LIBOR floor of 2.0 percent. The principal of the loan is payable in full at maturity with no scheduled amortization, however, ILFC has the right to voluntarily prepay the loan at any time, subject to a 1.0 percent prepayment penalty prior to March 17, 2011. On March 17, 2010, ILFC also entered into an additional term loan agreement of $550 million, of which $318 million is subject to the satisfaction of certain collateralization milestones. The loan is secured by 37 aircraft and all related equipment and leases. The loan matures on March 17, 2016, and bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 5.0 percent with a LIBOR floor of 2.0 percent. The principal of the loan is payable in full at maturity with no scheduled amortization, however, ILFC has the right to voluntarily prepay the loan at any time, subject to a 2.0 percent prepayment penalty prior to March 17, 2011, and a 1.0 percent prepayment penalty prior to March 17, 2012.

    AIG does not guarantee any of the debt obligations of ILFC.

AGF

    In the event that the sale of 80 percent of AGF does not close by the end of 2010, as expected, then AIG expects that AGF will be able to meet its existing obligations as they become due for at least the next twelve months.

Direct Investment Business and Capital Markets

    Prior to September 2008, Capital Markets had historically funded its operations through the issuance of notes and bonds, GIA borrowings, other structured financing transactions and repurchase agreements. Capital Markets continues to rely on AIG Parent to meet most of its liquidity needs.

The following table presents a rollforward of the amount of collateral posted by the Direct Investment business and Capital Markets:

Capital Markets Wind-down

    During the third quarter of 2010, AIG's Asset Management group undertook the management responsibilities for non-derivative assets and liabilities of the Capital Markets businesses of the Financial Services segment. These

assets and liabilities are being managed on a spread basis, in concert with the Matched Investment Program. Accordingly, gains and losses related to these assets and liabilities, primarily consisting of credit valuation adjustment gains and losses are reported in AIG's Other operations category as part of Asset Management — Direct Investment Business.

    AIGFP has continued unwinding its businesses and portfolios. During 2010, AIGFP reduced the notional amount of its derivative portfolio by 46 percent, from $940.7 billion (including $40.7 billion of intercompany derivatives and $183.5 billion of super senior credit default swap contracts) at December 31, 2009 to $505.8 billion (including $13.7 billion of intercompany derivatives and $87.8 billion of super senior credit default swap contracts) at September 30, 2010. AIGFP reduced the number of its outstanding trade positions by approximately 5,900, from approximately 16,100 at December 31, 2009 to approximately 10,200 at September 30, 2010. Included in the 10,200 trade positions are approximately 4,500 non-derivative asset and liability positions whose management was transferred to the Direct Investment business. In connection with these activities, AIGFP has disaggregated its portfolio of existing transactions into a number of separate "books" and has developed a plan for addressing each book, including assessing each book's risks, risk mitigation options, monitoring metrics and certain implications of various potential outcomes. Each plan has been reviewed by a steering committee whose membership includes senior executives of AIG. The plans are subject to change as efforts progress and as conditions in the financial markets evolve, and they contemplate, depending on the book in question, alternative strategies, including sales, assignments or other transfers of positions, terminations of positions, and/or run-offs of positions in accordance with existing terms. Execution of these plans is overseen by a transaction approval process involving senior members of AIGFP's and AIG's respective management groups as specific actions entail greater liquidity and financial consequences. Successful execution of these plans is subject, to varying degrees depending on the transactions of a given book, to market conditions and, in many circumstances, counterparty negotiation and agreement.

    In connection with the wind-down, certain assets were sold. The proceeds from these sales have been used to fund AIGFP's wind-down and are not included in the amounts described above under AIG's Strategy for Stabilization and Repayment of its Obligations as They Come Due. The FRBNY waived the requirement under the FRBNY Credit Agreement that the proceeds of these specific sales be applied as a mandatory prepayment under the FRBNY Credit Facility, which would have resulted in a permanent reduction of the FRBNY's commitment to lend to AIG. Instead, the FRBNY has given AIGFP permission to retain the proceeds of these completed sales, and has required that such proceeds received from certain future sales be used to voluntarily prepay the FRBNY Credit Facility, with the amounts prepaid available for future reborrowing subject to the terms of the FRBNY Credit Facility. AIGFP is also opportunistically terminating contracts.

    As a consequence of its wind-down strategy, AIGFP is entering into new derivative transactions only to hedge its current portfolio, reduce risk and hedge the currency, interest rate and other market risks associated with its affiliated businesses. AIGFP has already reduced the size of certain portions of its portfolio, including effecting a substantial reduction in credit derivative transactions in respect of multi-sector collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) in connection with ML III and through the ongoing termination of transactions in its regulatory capital portfolio, a sale of its commodity index business, termination and sale of its activities as a foreign exchange prime broker, and sale and other disposition of its energy/infrastructure investment portfolio. AIGFP also has novated certain trades to AIG Markets. Due to the long-term duration of AIGFP's derivative contracts and the complexity of AIGFP's portfolio, AIG expects that an orderly wind-down of AIGFP's businesses and portfolios will take a substantial period of time.

    The cost and liquidity needs of executing the wind-down will depend on many factors, many of which are not within AIG's control, including market conditions, AIGFP's access to markets via market counterparties, the availability of liquidity and the potential implications of further rating downgrades. In addition, the Determination Memoranda issued by the Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation place significant new restrictions on the compensation of AIGFP employees included in the five executives named in AIG's Proxy Statement and the next twenty highest paid employees of AIG (Top 25) and AIG's next 75 most highly compensated employees and executive officers (together, the Top 100) and may impair AIGFP's ability to retain these employees, and consequently negatively impact the wind-down of AIGFP's businesses and portfolios.

Credit Ratings

    The cost and availability of unsecured financing for AIG and its subsidiaries are generally dependent on their short-and long-term debt ratings. The following table presents the credit ratings of AIG and certain of its subsidiaries as of October 29, 2010. In parentheses, following the initial occurrence in the table of each rating, is an indication of that rating's relative rank within the agency's rating categories. That ranking refers only to the

(c)
Fitch ratings may be modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

(d)
AIG guarantees all obligations of AIG Financial Products Corp. and AIG Funding.

    These credit 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.

    "Ratings triggers" have been defined by one independent rating agency to include clauses or agreements the outcome of which depends upon the level of ratings maintained by one or more rating agencies. "Ratings triggers" generally relate to events that (i) could result in the termination or limitation of credit availability, or require accelerated repayment, (ii) could result in the termination of business contracts or (iii) could require a company to post collateral for the benefit of counterparties.

    A significant portion of the Direct Investment business' GIAs and structured financing arrangements and Capital Markets' financial derivative transactions include provisions that require both the Direct Investment business and AIGFP, upon a downgrade of AIG's long-term debt ratings, to post collateral or, with the consent of the counterparties, assign or repay its positions or arrange a substitute guarantee of its obligations by an obligor with higher debt ratings. Furthermore, certain downgrades of AIG's long-term senior debt ratings would permit either AIG or the counterparties to elect early termination of contracts.

    The actual amount of collateral that the Direct Investment business and AIGFP would be required to post to counterparties in the event of such downgrades, or the aggregate amount of payments that AIG could be required to make, depends on market conditions, the fair value of outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevailing at the time of the downgrade. For a discussion of the effect of a downgrade in AIG's credit ratings on Capital Markets' financial derivative transactions, see Item 1A. Risk Factors in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

    The completion of the Recapitalization is contingent upon the FRBNY, the Department of the Treasury and the Trust being satisfied with AIG's credit ratings. AIG is taking steps to improve its capital, liquidity and risk profile. After the Recapitalization, AIG cannot predict how changes in the business environment, its own operations, or ratings criteria may affect its ratings. See Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(a)
On October 8, 2010, AIG commenced an offer to exchange up to 95 percent of the equity units (and therefore the underlying subordinated debt) for AIG Common Stock and cash.

(b)
Completion of the Recapitalization would accelerate the actual repayment.

(c)
Primarily includes contracts to purchase future services and other capital expenditures.

(d)
Does not reflect unrecognized tax benefits of $5.3 billion, the timing of which is uncertain. In addition, the majority of Capital Markets' credit default swaps require AIGFP to provide credit protection on a designated portfolio of loans or debt securities. At September 30, 2010, the fair value derivative liability was $3.6 billion relating to AIGFP's super senior multi-sector CDO credit default swap portfolio, net of amounts realized in extinguishing derivative obligations. Due to the long-term maturities of these credit default swaps, AIG is unable to make reasonable estimates of the periods during which any payments would be made. However, at September 30, 2010 AIGFP had posted collateral of $3.2 billion with respect to these swaps (prior to offsets for other transactions).

Additional information regarding AIG's contractual obligations follows:

Borrowings

    Excludes borrowings incurred by consolidated investments and includes hybrid financial instrument liabilities recorded at fair value. The repayment of long-term debt maturities, net borrowings under the FRBNY Credit Facility, and interest accrued on borrowings by AIG and its subsidiaries are expected to be made through maturing investments and asset sales, future cash flows from operations, cash flows generated from invested assets, future debt issuance and other financing arrangements, as more fully described in AIG's Strategy for Stabilization and Repayment of its Obligations as They Come Due above.

Loss Reserves

    Loss reserves relate primarily to General Insurance business and represents future loss and loss adjustment expense payments estimated based on historical loss development payment patterns. Due to the significance of the assumptions used, the periodic amounts presented could be materially different from actual required payments. Management believes that adequate financial resources are maintained by the individual General Insurance subsidiaries to meet the actual required payments under these obligations. The General Insurance subsidiaries maintain substantial liquidity in the form of cash and short-term investments, totaling $11.7 billion as of September 30, 2010. Further, General Insurance businesses maintain significant levels of investment-grade fixed income securities, including substantial holdings in government and corporate bonds (see Investments herein), which could be monetized in the event operating cash flows are insufficient. Generally, these assets are not transferable across various legal entities; however, management believes there are generally sufficient resources within those legal entities such that they can meet their individual needs. See Capital Resources and Liquidity — Liquidity — Analysis of Sources and Uses of Cash and Capital Resources and Liquidity — Liquidity — Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries for matters that could affect operating cash flows and liquidity of the subsidiaries.

Insurance and Investment Contract Liabilities

    GIC liabilities represent guaranteed maturities under GICs. Insurance and investment contract liabilities, including GIC liabilities, relate primarily to Life Insurance and Retirement Services businesses and include various investment-type products with contractually scheduled maturities, including periodic payments of a term certain nature. Insurance and investment contract liabilities also include benefit and claim liabilities, of which a significant portion represents policies and contracts that do not have stated contractual maturity dates and may not result in any future payment obligations. For these policies and contracts (i) AIG is currently not making payments until the occurrence of an insurable event, such as death or disability, (ii) payments are conditional on survivorship, or (iii) payment may occur due to a surrender or other non-scheduled event out of AIG's control. AIG has made significant assumptions to determine the estimated undiscounted cash flows of these contractual policy benefits, which assumptions include mortality, morbidity, future lapse rates, expenses, investment returns and interest crediting rates, offset by expected future deposits and premiums on in-force policies. Due to the significance of the assumptions used, the periodic amounts presented could be materially different from actual required payments. The amounts presented in this table are undiscounted and therefore exceed the future policy benefits and policyholder contract deposits included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Management believes that adequate financial resources are maintained by individual Life Insurance and Retirement Services subsidiaries to meet the payments actually required under these obligations. These subsidiaries maintain substantial liquidity in the form of cash and short-term investments, totaling $14.9 billion as of September 30, 2010. In addition, the Life Insurance and Retirement Services businesses maintain significant levels of investment-grade fixed income securities, including substantial holdings in government and corporate bonds (see Investments herein), which may be monetized in the event operating cash flows are insufficient. Generally, these assets are not transferable across various legal entities; however, management believes there are generally sufficient resources within those legal entities such that they can meet their individual needs. Liquidity needs for GIC liabilities are generally expected to be funded through cash flows generated from maturities and sales of invested assets.

Aircraft Purchases

    At September 30, 2010, ILFC had committed to purchase 115 new aircraft deliverable from 2011 through 2019, at an estimated aggregate purchase price of $13.5 billion, the majority of which is due after 2015, with $282 million coming due through 2011. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries — Financial Services — ILFC.

Excludes potential amounts attributable to indemnifications included in asset sales agreements. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(d)
Includes commitments to invest in limited partnerships, private equity, hedge funds and mutual funds and commitments to purchase and develop real estate in the United States and abroad. The commitments to invest in limited partnerships and other funds are called at the discretion of each fund, as needed for funding new investments or expenses of the fund. The expiration of these commitments is estimated in the table above based on the expected life cycle of the related fund, consistent with past trends of requirements for funding. Investors under these commitments are primarily insurance and real estate businesses.

(e)
Includes options to acquire aircraft. Excludes commitments with respect to pension plans. The remaining pension contribution for 2010 is expected to be approximately $5 million for U.S. and non-U.S. plans.

(f)
Does not include guarantees or other support arrangements among AIG consolidated entities.

Securities Financing

    The fair value of securities transferred under repurchase agreements accounted for as sales was $2.5 billion and $2.3 billion at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and the related cash collateral obtained was $1.9 billion and $1.5 billion at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

    See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K for discussion of restrictions on payments of dividends.

Arrangements with Variable Interest Entities

    While AIG enters into various arrangements with variable interest entities (VIEs) in the normal course of business, AIG's involvement with VIEs is primarily as a passive investor in debt securities (rated and unrated) and equity interests issued by VIEs. AIG consolidates a VIE when it is the primary beneficiary of the entity. For a further discussion of AIG's involvement with VIEs, see Notes 1 and 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.


2010 Business Outlook

    The following discussion supplements and updates the Business Outlook contained in AIG's 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010.


General Insurance

    In May 2009, AIG completed the sale of its interest in the AIG Otemachi Building in Tokyo's prestigious Marunouchi business district — including the land and development rights. Approximately fifty percent of these interests were held by Chartis International subsidiaries with the remainder recorded in AIG's Other operations category as part of Asset Management results. Although the transaction qualified as a legal sale, it did not qualify as a sale for U.S. GAAP purposes due to AIG's continued involvement as a lessee, primarily in the form of a lease deposit. With tenant leases set to expire in December 2010, and the buyer not intending to extend the leases with any of the tenants, AIG will be vacating the building and a sale will be deemed to have occurred. Therefore, in the fourth quarter of 2010 AIG expects to record a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.4 billion ($812 million net of taxes).

    On April 20, 2010, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig, operating in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana, resulted in a fire that led to the sinking of the rig and subsequent oil spill. AIG continues to monitor the casualty exposure to Deepwater Horizon and believes that carried loss reserves at September 30, 2010 are adequate to cover estimated losses attributable to this event. However, AIG's claims estimates may change over time, as the forensic investigation is incomplete, the cleanup is incomplete, and the litigation has only just begun.

    There may also be other policyholders involved as the matter evolves. The types of claims may include, but not be limited to, cleanup costs, both directly incurred and those for which reimbursement to the government may be required; natural resource damages, including damages to the various fisheries impacted by the spill; property

131


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries


damage to private property; business interruption to Gulf Coast businesses; the bodily injury and wrongful death claims of the workers on the rig; claims for the destruction of the rig itself and various class actions brought by Gulf Coast residents on various theories of liability. In addition, it is uncertain how the $20 billion cleanup fund established by BP may affect claims under Chartis' policies, as injured parties may seek compensation from the fund rather than through their own or others' insurance policies.


Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services

    AIG's Domestic Life Insurance and Retirement Services companies have maintained higher levels of liquidity which has negatively affected net investment income results. AIG expects to reinvest a portion of these cash balances into longer-term, higher yielding securities in the fourth quarter of 2010 and through 2011.

    Although there were no unlocking adjustments in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, management expects to complete its annual review of all actuarial estimates and assumptions in the fourth quarter. The review may result in fourth quarter changes in various actuarial assumptions including those pertaining to DAC, reserves and the fair value of certain variable annuity guarantees.

    In 2010, long-term interest rates dropped to near historical levels. If such rates were to continue over an extended period of time, investment spreads would gradually narrow as new investment proceeds would be invested at lower rates that may only be partially offset by lower crediting rates. In addition, in a low interest rate environment, industry sales of fixed annuities tend to suffer. However, in an extended low interest rate environment, management would expect the current low surrender rates to continue.

    Surrender rates for group retirement products are expected to increase in the remainder of 2010 as certain large group surrenders are anticipated.

    AIG's Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations utilize internal and third-party reinsurance relationships to manage insurance risks and to facilitate capital management strategies. Pools of highly-rated third party reinsurers are utilized to manage net amounts at risk in excess of retention limits. AIG's Domestic Life Insurance companies also cede excess, non-economic reserves carried on a statutory-basis only on certain term and universal life insurance policies and certain fixed annuities to an offshore affiliate.

    AIG generally obtains letters of credit in order to obtain statutory recognition of its intercompany reinsurance transactions. For this purpose, AIG has a $2.5 billion syndicated letter of credit facility outstanding at September 30, 2010, all of which relates to intercompany life reinsurance transactions. AIG has also obtained approximately $2.3 billion of letters of credit on a bilateral basis all of which relates to intercompany life reinsurance transactions. All of these letters of credit are due to mature on December 31, 2015.

    The fees paid to maintain these bilateral letters of credit are generally based on AIG's long-term debt ratings. Under the terms of the bilateral letter of credit, the issuing bank has the right to base its fees on AIG's credit default swap pricing. On June 30, 2010, AIG received notification of the bank's intent to do so. AIG expects that this change will increase the fees for maintaining this letter of credit from $16 million annually to approximately $64 million annually, based on current credit default swap pricing levels.


Mortgage Guaranty

    The improvement in UGC's 2010 results is primarily the result of declining levels of newly reported delinquencies in the first-lien, second-lien and international products, higher cure rates on existing first-lien and international delinquent loans, the effect of stop loss limits on certain second-lien and international policies, increased rescission activity on domestic first-lien claims and increased efforts to modify payment plans for currently delinquent domestic first-lien loans. If these trends persist, UGC's financial results may continue to show improvement in future quarters. However, there remains considerable uncertainty about the longer term outlook for the housing market, U.S. unemployment rates, the impact of future foreclosures on domestic home prices, loan modification programs, the elimination of tax credits for first-time homebuyers, moratoriums on foreclosures by

132


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries


certain lenders and mortgage insurance rescission rates and the effects, if any, these factors may have on UGC's financial results.


Capital Markets Wind-Down

    During the third quarter of 2010, AIG continued to make progress winding down the derivatives portfolio. At September 30, 2010, the portfolio was $505.8 billion (including $13.7 billion of intercompany derivatives), of which $87.8 billion were super senior credit default swap contracts. AIG expects to continue to reduce the size of the Capital Markets derivatives portfolio through the remainder of the year. If the wind-down continues as anticipated, AIG expects that late in 2010 or early in 2011 the remaining Capital Markets derivatives portfolio will consist of transactions AIG believes will be of low complexity or of low risk or not economically feasible to unwind based on a cost versus benefit analysis.


FRBNY Credit Facility

    The FRBNY has been considering whether prior payments made by AIG to repay the FRBNY Credit Facility from asset sales should be treated as mandatory prepayments that reduce the amount available under the FRBNY Credit Facility. If the FRBNY had taken this position at September 30, 2010, this would have reduced the amount available to be borrowed under the FRBNY Credit Facility by approximately $3.6 billion. Such reduction in the FRBNY Credit Facility would have triggered accelerated amortization of the prepaid commitment fee asset of approximately $600 million.


Impact of Divestitures on Risk

    With the closing of the ALICO sale on November 1, 2010 and the initial public offering of a majority stake of AIA on October 29, 2010, AIG's risk exposures declined significantly. AIG estimates that these transactions reduced AIG's total credit exposure by approximately 18 percent and cross-border exposures by approximately 32 percent compared to September 30, 2010. The successful completion of other potential sales/divestitures, such as AIG Star, AIG Edison, AGF and Nan Shan could reduce AIG's total credit exposure by approximately an additional 12 percent and cross-border exposure by approximately an additional 8 percent.

    AIG's market risk exposures were similarly affected by the sale of ALICO and the completion of the AIA initial public offering. With the successful completion of these transactions combined with other potential sales and divestitures, such as AIG Star, AIG Edison, AGF and Nan Shan, AIG's yield-sensitive fixed income exposure could be reduced by approximately 45 percent. Foreign currency exposures could decline by 83 percent and equity and alternative investments could fall by approximately 36 percent.

    See Risk Management herein for additional information.


Results of Operations

    AIG reports the results of its operations through four reportable segments: General Insurance, Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services, Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services, and Financial Services. Through these reportable segments, AIG provides insurance, financial and investment products and services to both businesses and individuals in more than 130 countries and jurisdictions. AIG's Other operations category consists of business and items not allocated to AIG's reportable segments. AIG's subsidiaries serve commercial, institutional and individual customers through an extensive property-casualty and life insurance and retirement services network. AIG's Financial Services businesses include commercial aircraft and equipment leasing, capital markets operations and consumer finance, both in the United States and abroad.

Premiums and Other Considerations

    Premiums and other considerations increased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to the consolidation of Fuji commencing in the third quarter of 2010, the favorable effect of foreign exchange and higher in-force business as a result of improvement in persistency for Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services, partially offset by a decline in Commercial Insurance premiums.

    For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, Premiums and other considerations decreased by $3.1 billion compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to the effect of dispositions during 2009 totaling $5.4 billion, including the sale of 21st Century Insurance Group (21st Century), HSB Group, Inc. (HSB) and the deconsolidation of Transatlantic as well as the decline in Commercial Insurance premiums. Partially offsetting these decreases was the effect of the consolidation of Fuji and the increase in Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services premiums noted above.

    Net investment income declined in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to lower valuation gains associated with AIG's interest in ML II and ML III and a decline in income from partnership investments reflecting less favorable market conditions in the current year period.

    Net investment income increased in nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to significantly higher income from partnership investments and increased valuation gains associated with AIG's interest in ML II and ML III. These increases were partially offset by a decline in Policyholder investment income and trading gains for Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services (together, policyholder trading gains) compared to 2009. Policyholder trading gains are offset by a change in Policyholder benefits and claims incurred and generally reflect the trends in equity markets.

    Both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 reflected lower levels of invested assets, including the effect of divested businesses, as well as lower returns as a result of increased levels of short-term investments that were held for liquidity purposes.

    Net realized capital losses decreased in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same periods of 2009 reflecting the following:

increased gains on sales of fixed maturity securities in the current year periods;

absence of significant losses incurred in 2009 related to sales of real estate and loans; and

lower other-than-temporary impairment charges in the current year periods. Affecting the nine-month comparison was the adoption of the new other-than-temporary impairments accounting standard commencing in the second quarter of 2009. The three-month period ended March 31, 2009 included non-credit impairments (i.e. severity losses) that are no longer required for fixed maturity securities. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements; and Investments — Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.

    Significant foreign exchange transaction losses were incurred during the third quarter of 2010, primarily related to the weakening of the U.S. dollar. Gains on derivative instruments not designated for hedge accounting for the third quarter of 2010 reflected the U.S. dollar weakening against the Euro and British pound, partially offset by the narrowing of AIG's credit spreads.

    The foreign exchange transaction losses on derivative instruments not designated for hedge accounting incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 related primarily to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, British pound and Japanese yen compared to the same period in 2009.


Unrealized Market Valuation Gains (Losses) on Capital Markets Super Senior Credit Default Swap Portfolio

    Capital Markets reported a decline in unrealized market valuation gains related to its super senior credit default swap portfolio in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 as a result of decreasing corporate spreads in 2009 in the corporate arbitrage portfolio and the substantial improvement in prices of the underlying assets in 2009 in the multi-sector CDO portfolio.

    The unrealized market valuation gains decreased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 as a result of losses in the corporate arbitrage portfolio caused by increasing corporate spreads in 2010 and decreasing corporate spreads in 2009, partially offset by improved prices of the underlying assets in the multi-sector CDO portfolio in 2010 compared to 2009.

Other Income

    Other income decreased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due primarily to:

lower aircraft leasing revenues reflecting $465 million of aircraft asset impairment charges;

lower Direct Investment business revenues driven by foreign exchange losses on non-U.S. dollar denominated debt, the negative impact of AIG's narrowing credit spread on the valuation of liabilities as well as impairments on real estate investments; and

lower Consumer Finance revenues due to dispositions in 2010, including operations in Argentina, Colombia, Taiwan and its banking business in Poland.

    These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $553 million reflecting the positive effect of derivatives where AIG did not elect cash flow hedge accounting.

    Other income decreased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to:

a decline of $1.2 billion reflecting the negative effect of derivatives where AIG did not elect cash flow hedge accounting;

a decline of $1.2 billion in credit valuation adjustments on Capital Markets derivative assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value, excluding gains and losses which are reflected in Unrealized gains (losses) on Capital Markets' super senior credit default swap portfolio, partially offset by reduced losses from AIGFP from lower unwind costs;

a decline of $906 million in credit valuation adjustments on Direct Investment business assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value; and

lower aircraft leasing revenues reflecting an increase of $856 million of aircraft asset impairment charges and an increase of $90 million in operating lease-related charges with respect to aircraft sold, otherwise disposed of or held for sale.

    This decrease was partially offset by a bargain purchase gain recorded by Foreign General Insurance of $332 million related to the Fuji acquisition.


Policyholder Benefits and Claims Incurred

    Policyholder benefits and claims were essentially flat in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

    Policyholder benefits and claims incurred decreased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 due to:

a reduction of $4.0 billion as a result of dispositions in 2009;

a decrease in incurred policy losses and benefit expenses for Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services of $1.4 billion due to a decline in policyholder trading gains discussed above in Net Investment Income;

a decrease in claims and claims adjustment expense for Mortgage Guaranty operations primarily due to lower levels of newly reported delinquencies in the first-lien, second-lien and international products, higher cure rates on existing first-lien and international delinquent loans and the recognition of stop loss limits on certain second-lien policies; and

the effects of lower production levels for Commercial Insurance and Domestic Retirement Services.

137

American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

    Partially offsetting these declines were increases due to the consolidation of Fuji. See General Insurance results herein for further discussion.


Policy Acquisition and Other Insurance Expenses

    Policy acquisition and other insurance expenses increased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to the consolidation of Fuji mentioned above and an increase in Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services expenses, primarily comprising salaries and bonuses as well as strategic systems investments.

    Policy acquisition and other insurance expenses decreased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to reductions of $949 million as a result of dispositions in 2009. In addition, there were DAC and SIA unlocking and related reserve strengthening charges of $601 million in 2009. There were no DAC or sales inducement assets (SIA) unlockings in the first nine months of 2010. Partially offsetting this decrease in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 were the effects of $222 million of amortization of a premium deficiency reserve by UGC in the first quarter of 2009 and increases due to the consolidation of Fuji mentioned above.


Interest Expense

    Interest expense increased modestly in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 as the effect of a lower average outstanding balance on the FRBNY Credit Facility was offset by increased amortization of the prepaid commitment fee asset as shown in the table below. Interest expense decreased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to lower interest expense on the FRBNY Credit Facility reflecting a reduced weighted average interest rate on borrowings and a lower average outstanding balance.

Restructuring Expenses and Related Asset Impairment and Other Expenses

    Restructuring expenses decreased in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 reflecting progress made under the restructuring plan and asset disposition initiatives. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding restructuring and separation expenses.


Net (Gain) Loss on Sale of Divested Businesses

    Net gain (loss) on sale of divested businesses includes the net gain (loss) on the sale of divested businesses that did not qualify as discontinued operations, and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 included a gain of $228 million associated with the termination fee paid by Prudential plc to AIG. See Segment Results — Other Operations — Other Results herein for further information.


Other Expenses

    Other expenses decreased in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 due to a decline in goodwill impairment charges, partially offset by higher corporate unallocated costs, which for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 reflected an increased securities litigation charge.

Income Tax Benefits

    For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, the effective tax rates on pre-tax income from continuing operations were 111.1 percent and 27.5 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 attributable to continuing operations was primarily related to the effect of foreign operations of $41 million, other permanent items of $561 million, partially offset by a net reduction of the valuation allowance of $118 million, and tax exempt interest of $143 million. The other permanent items of $561 million were primarily attributable to $220 million of nondeductible losses, realized gains resulting from transfers of subsidiaries of $78 million, and uncertain tax positions of $76 million. The effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 attributable to continuing operations was primarily related to the effects of tax exempt interest income of $449 million, the excess amount of the Fuji bargain purchase gain for financial reporting over the tax basis which is essentially permanent in duration of $116 million, and a reduction of $443 million in the valuation allowance, partially offset by the effect of foreign operations of $416 million, and other permanent items of $299 million, which were primarily attributable to the nondeductible losses and realized gains resulting from transfers of subsidiaries discussed above.

    When estimating the fair values of the subsidiaries to be divested, AIG considered, among other information, valuations prepared for various purposes. During the first quarter of 2010, AIG increased its estimate of the AIA and ALICO expected divestiture proceeds following an updated assessment of the range of valuation estimates that considered, among other factors, the expected proceeds from the sales to Prudential plc and MetLife Inc. announced in that quarter, which gave rise to a $910 million reduction in the valuation allowance. During the third quarter based on the expectation of lower proceeds from the sale of AIA ordinary shares, the realization amount of the deferred tax assets was reduced by increasing valuation allowance of $1.3 billion.

    For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, the effective tax rates on pre-tax income (loss) from continuing operations were 78.9 percent and 25.9 percent, respectively. The tax benefit reflected for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 attributable to continuing operations was primarily related to changes in the estimated U.S. tax liability with respect to the potential sale of subsidiaries of $931 million, partially offset by an increase of $108 million in the reserve for uncertain tax positions, an increase in the valuation allowance of $405 million, and the effect of foreign operations of $122 million. The tax benefit reflected in the effective tax rate attributable to continuing operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 was primarily related to changes in the estimated U.S. tax liability with respect to the potential sale of subsidiaries of $740 million and tax exempt interest of $521 million, partially offset by an increase of $514 million in the reserve for uncertain tax positions, an increase in valuation allowance of $336 million and the effects of variable interest entity losses of $371 million.

    At September 30, 2010 AIG's net deferred tax asset was comprised of $3.8 billion, net of $19.9 billion valuation allowance, related to its U.S. consolidated income tax group, and $2.6 billion of net deferred tax liability related to foreign subsidiaries, state and local tax jurisdictions, and certain domestic subsidiaries that file separate tax returns. AIG assesses its ability to realize the deferred tax asset based on AIG's ability to generate gains on asset sales, including from the initial public offering of AIA, and tax planning strategies that would be implemented, if necessary, to protect against the loss of the deferred tax asset. This assessment does not depend on projected future operating income of the U.S. consolidated income tax group.

    In any interim period, the U.S. consolidated income tax group may generate income or loss. To the extent that any income is generated, the related tax expense may be offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance. Conversely, any tax benefits arising from losses may be offset by an additional valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Any reduction of the valuation allowance will be allocated to continuing operations, discontinued operations and other comprehensive income based on the intraperiod tax allocation rules. AIG's foreign subsidiaries and U.S. subsidiaries filing separate returns will continue to recognize tax expense and tax benefits, based on their income or loss, which will be reflected in AIG's consolidated income tax provision (benefit).

(c)
ALICO's pre-tax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes the impairment of $3.3 billion of goodwill that had been allocated to ALICO as a consequence of ALICO's removal from the Japan and Other operating segment. See Critical Accounting Estimates — Goodwill impairment for further discussion.


ALICO Results

    ALICO total revenues declined for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 largely due to lower policyholder trading gains, which are offset in policyholder benefits and claims incurred. This decline more than offset the benefit of lower net realized capital losses and the 4 percent growth in premiums and other considerations primarily resulting from the positive effect of foreign exchange. Pre-tax income increased compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to lower net realized capital losses partially offset by negative effect of the declining interest rate environment in Japan on variable life and annuity results.

    ALICO total revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 decreased slightly from the same period in 2009 reflecting a decline of $1.1 billion in policyholder trading gains, which are offset in policyholder benefits and claims incurred. This decline was nearly offset by lower net realized capital losses and higher premiums and other considerations due to the positive effect of foreign exchange and continued strength in new and renewal business. ALICO's pre-tax loss in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 was largely due to the impairment of goodwill discussed below.

Nan Shan Results

    Nan Shan total revenues increased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to an increase in Premiums and other considerations resulting from growth in the business and the favorable effect of foreign exchange as well as an increase in Net investment income due to growth in the investment portfolio. These increases were partially offset by net realized capital losses of $21 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to net realized capital gains of $83 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 due primarily to a decrease in gains on sales of fixed maturity securities.

    Nan Shan total revenues were flat in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 as a decline in net realized capital gains was largely offset by increased Premiums and other considerations and Net investment income as discussed above. Included in Nan Shan's pre-tax loss in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 is an additional loss accrual of $104 million associated with the expected sale of Nan Shan. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.


AGF Results

    AGF's revenues decreased for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 primarily due to lower finance charge revenues reflecting the 2009 sales of real estate portfolios as part of AGF's efforts to increase liquidity.

    AGF's pre-tax loss increased for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to higher operating expenses reflecting the write-off of AGF's intangible assets in third quarter of 2010 and lower finance charge revenues noted above. The increase in AGF's pre-tax loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 was partially offset by lower provision for loan losses as a result of a decrease in the amounts provided for allowance for loan losses due to favorable trends in the credit quality of AGF's finance receivables.

    As a result of the sale of AGF discussed in Note 1 herein, AIG recorded an estimated pre-tax loss of approximately $1.9 billion in the third quarter of 2010.

    AGF's pre-tax loss decreased for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to a lower provision for loan losses as a result of a decrease in the amounts provided for allowance for loan losses due to favorable trends in the credit quality of AGF's finance receivables. AGF also benefited from lower fair value provision on finance receivables held for sale originated as held for investment and foreign exchange gains on foreign currency denominated debt. These favorable variances were partially offset by a decline in AGF's finance charge revenues noted above and higher operating expenses primarily due to a write-off of AGF's intangible assets in third quarter 2010, which was driven by the sale of AGF.


AIG Star and AIG Edison Results

    Revenues increased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to net realized capital gains of $199 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to net realized capital losses of $114 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. The improvement in net realized capital gains was due to lower other-than-temporary impairment charges and a decrease in foreign currency translation losses as the value of the Japanese Yen strengthened against non functional currencies in the current year.

    Pre-tax income (loss) decreased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge of $1.3 billion and a reduction in partnership and mutual fund income as well as the continuing impact of lower in-force business and lower surrender gains in 2010 versus 2009 as lapses trended down towards pre-crisis levels. Partially offsetting these decreases were the increase in net realized capital gains noted above and a reduction in restructuring costs.

    Revenues increased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to net realized capital losses of $71 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to net realized capital losses of $902 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in net realized capital losses was due to lower other-than-temporary impairment charges and a decrease in foreign currency translation losses noted above.

    Pre-tax income (loss) decreased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to the goodwill impairment charge of $1.3 billion and the continuing impact of lower in-force business and lower surrender gains in 2010 versus 2009 as lapses trended down towards pre-crisis levels and a reduction in the DAC benefit, net of unearned revenue liability, related to lower realized capital losses in 2010 compared to a year ago. Partially offsetting these decreases were the reductions in net realized capital losses noted above.


Segment Results

    AIG believes it should present and discuss its financial information in a manner most meaningful to its financial statement users. In managing its businesses, AIG analyzes the operating performance of each business based on pre-tax income (loss), excluding net realized capital gains (losses), results from discontinued operations and net gains (losses) on sales of divested businesses, because AIG believes that this permits better assessment and enhances understanding of the operating performance of each business by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of its businesses. When such measures are disclosed, reconciliations to GAAP pre-tax income are provided.

The following table summarizes the operations of each reportable segment. See also Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

General Insurance Operations

    AIG's General Insurance subsidiaries, branded Chartis in 2009, are multi-line companies writing substantially all lines of property and casualty insurance in the U.S. and internationally.

    As previously noted, AIG believes it should present and discuss its financial information in a manner most meaningful to its financial statement users. Accordingly, in its General Insurance business AIG uses underwriting profit (loss) to assess performance of the General Insurance business rather than statutory underwriting profit (loss).

    Commercial Insurance writes substantially all classes of business insurance, accepting such business mainly from insurance brokers. This provides Commercial Insurance the opportunity to select specialized markets and retain underwriting control. Any licensed broker is able to submit business to Commercial Insurance without the traditional agent-company contractual relationship, but such broker usually has no authority to commit Commercial Insurance to accept a risk.

    AIG's Foreign General insurance group writes both commercial and consumer lines of insurance through a network of branches and foreign based insurance subsidiaries. It also writes a small degree of life premiums (primarily traditional life products), particularly in the newly-acquired Japanese business, Fuji. Foreign General insurance group uses various marketing methods and multiple distribution channels to write both commercial and consumer lines insurance with certain refinements for local laws, customs and needs. Foreign General insurance group operates in the Asia & the Pacific, Europe, and the Far East regions as well as in emerging markets.

    On March 31, 2010, AIG, through a Foreign General Insurance subsidiary, purchased additional voting shares in Fuji which resulted in Foreign General Insurance gaining control of Fuji. Fuji's financial information is reported on a one-quarter lag. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, therefore, Fuji's results are now included in General Insurance and Foreign General results.

General Insurance Underwriting Results

    AIG, along with most property and casualty insurance companies, uses the loss ratio, the expense ratio and the combined ratio as measures of underwriting performance. The loss ratio is the sum of claims and claims adjustment expenses divided by net premiums earned. The expense ratio is underwriting expenses divided by net premiums earned. These ratios are relative measurements that describe, for every $100 of net premiums earned, the cost of claims and expenses, respectively. A combined ratio of less than 100 indicates an underwriting profit and over 100 indicates an underwriting loss.

    Net premiums written are initially deferred and earned based upon the terms of the underlying policies. The net unearned premium reserve constitutes deferred revenues which are generally earned ratably over the policy period.

    The underwriting environment varies from country to country, as does the degree of litigation activity. Regulation, product type and competition have a direct effect on pricing and consequently on profitability as reflected in underwriting profit and the combined ratio.

General Insurance Net Premiums Written

    General Insurance net premiums written in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 increased 7 percent and 1 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2009 as increases from the Fuji acquisition in Foreign General Insurance are partially offset by decreases in domestic net premiums written. Domestic declines reflect General Insurance's risk management initiatives and continued price discipline in lines where market rates are unsatisfactory. The Fuji acquisition in Foreign General Insurance and strategic growth in higher margin lines of business are being slightly offset by adverse foreign exchange effects in the current period. While General Insurance continues to see improved premium and account retention, new business submissions, and a relatively stable rate environment, net premium writings continue to be affected by a weak domestic economic environment.

AIG transacts business in most major foreign currencies. The following table summarizes the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on General Insurance net premiums written:

Quarterly General Insurance Investing and Other Results

    Net investment income for General Insurance decreased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to a reduction in returns from partnership investments. Returns on fixed income investments also declined as reinvestment rates have been lower than the original rates of maturing securities. General Insurance is also seeking to redeploy a significant amount of its liquidity into higher yielding investments. General Insurance incurred net realized capital losses in the third quarter of 2010,

mainly due to other-than-temporary impairment charges related to a change in its intent to sell certain mortgage-backed securities.

Year-to-Date General Insurance Investing and Other Results

    In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, net investment income for General Insurance increased over the same period in 2009 primarily due to improvement in returns from partnership investments. Net realized capital gains were recognized in 2010 compared to losses in 2009 primarily due to lower other-than-temporary impairments on investments, higher gains on sales of fixed maturities and income from derivatives.

    The decrease in the Commercial Insurance combined ratio in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily resulted from the following:

an accident year loss ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2010 that was 2.9 points lower than the accident year loss ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Catastrophe-related losses of $47 million were attributable to an August earthquake in New Zealand and further development on

prior year development, which amounted to $137 million of net adverse development for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to net adverse development of $256 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as discussed below.

An increase in the expense ratio of 0.5 points driven by a decrease in earned premium, increases in general operating expenses, and partially offset by a decrease in acquisition expenses. General Operating Expenses include increases in allowances for credit risk reserves and operational enhancements (as discussed in General Insurance results above). Acquisition expenses decreased with the reduction of aggregate exposures in certain property and casualty lines of business.

    The increase in the Commercial Insurance combined ratio in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily resulted from the following:

an accident year loss ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 that was 1.9 points higher than the accident year loss ratio for the same period ended September 30, 2009, resulting from catastrophe-related losses of approximately $480 million attributable to the combined losses of two severe windstorms in the Northeastern United States, flooding in the Southeastern United States, the earthquake in Chile, U.S. hailstorms, Hurricane Alex, and the earthquake in New Zealand, compared to catastrophe-related losses of $55 million in the same period of 2009; and

An increase of 3.0 points in the expense ratio due to a decrease in earned premium, an increase in acquisition expenses, and an increase in general operating expenses, all of which were discussed in the General Insurance results above.


Quarterly Commercial Insurance Net Loss Development

    The $137 million of adverse development in the three months ended September 30, 2010 is largely attributable to adverse development of $119 million related to asbestos claims, $63 million in excess casualty claims, and $43 million in the specialty workers' compensation line of business. These losses were partially offset by $42 million of favorable development in the Lexington lines of business. The current period amount is net of a $135 million reserve discount, as described in the Discount on Reserves section below, and $40 million in accrued premiums on loss sensitive policies. For the current period, prior year development accounted for 3.1 points of the calendar year loss ratio.


Year-to-Date Commercial Insurance Net Loss Development

    The $95 million of adverse development in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is primarily attributable to favorable development in the Lexington lines of business being more than offset by $159 million of adverse development related to asbestos claims, $97 million of adverse development in specialty workers' compensation claims, and $79 million of adverse development in the financial institutions line of business. The $159 million of adverse development on asbestos claims relates entirely to accident years 1999 and prior and is primarily attributable to several large accounts. The current period amount is net of $135 million reserve discount, as described in the Discount on Reserves section below, and $18 million in accrued premiums on loss sensitive policies.

Quarterly Commercial Insurance Investing Results

    Net investment income for Commercial Insurance decreased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to a sharp decline in returns from partnership investments. Net realized capital losses were due to other-than-temporary-impairments related to the change in its intent to sell certain mortgage-backed securities as mentioned in the General Insurance section above.

Quarterly Foreign General Insurance Net Premiums Written

    Foreign General Insurance net premiums written increased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to:

the Fuji acquisition, which contributed $865 million to the total (reported in Other in the table above); and

new business as global economic conditions improved.

    Overall, with the exclusion of Fuji, net written premiums are down 2.2 percent versus the same period in 2009. From a regional perspective, real growth in the Far East region was significantly enhanced by the Fuji acquisition. The Asia-Pacific region also did well while the Europe region took a slight downturn.

the Fuji acquisition, which contributed $865 million to the total; and

new business as global economic conditions improved.

    From a regional perspective, real growth in the Far East region was significantly enhanced by the Fuji acquisition. The Europe region, which did well in its critical renewal season in the first quarter, remains positive for the period, as well. Overall, Foreign General Insurance continued an upward trend in production that began with the third quarter of 2009, which is attributable to improved retention and strong new business submissions.

    The decrease in the Foreign General Insurance combined ratio in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily resulted from the following:

a decrease in the accident year loss ratio of 1.5 points compared to the same period in the prior year. Catastrophe-related losses incurred in the current period were $25 million, mainly due to an earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, with no recorded catastrophic events in the prior period; and

a decrease of 6.8 points in the expense ratio includes the effect of the consolidation of Fuji's results. Excluding Fuji, the expense ratio decreased 1.8 points due to decreased remediation costs and acquisition

    In the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 Foreign General Insurance recorded $200 million for claims related to the worldwide credit crisis, negatively impacting the loss ratio for the period. No additional loss was recorded in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010; however these reserves continue to be closely monitored and thus far have developed in line with expectations.

    The increase in the Foreign General Insurance combined ratio in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily resulted from the following:

significant catastrophe-related losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to none in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, contributed 3.7 points to the loss ratio. Catastrophe losses included the earthquake in Chile, flooding in Madeira (Portugal), the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion, the Icelandic volcano, Hurricane Alex, and the earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand; and

a decrease of 2.1 points in the expense ratio includes the effect of the consolidation of Fuji's results. Excluding Fuji, the expense ratio decreased 0.3 points, as discussed in the quarterly underwriting ratios section above

    In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 Foreign General Insurance posted charges totaling $306 million for claim increases in the financial institutions professional indemnity book related to continued exposure to credit and fraud claims, negatively impacting the loss ratio for the period. No additional losses were incurred in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010; however these reserves continue to be closely monitored and thus far have developed in line with expectations.


Quarterly Foreign General Insurance Net Loss Development

    Foreign General Insurance experienced $31 million of net adverse development in the three months ended September 30, 2010, including $31 million of favorable development related to Ascot, the Lloyds syndicate, and $24 million of favorable development in unrecoverable facultative reinsurance being more than offset by $61 million of adverse development related to asbestos claims, reflecting Foreign General's share of U.S.-located losses that were discussed above, and $44 million of adverse development in the U.K. professional liability line of business relating to conveyance negligence claims from the high level of residential real estate activity in 2008. The remainder was spread throughout the other lines of business. The current period amount is net of a $18 million reserve discount, as discussed in the Discounting of Reserves section below; there was no such discount in the prior period. The $24 million favorable development in facultative reinsurance is the result of the reversal of a prior judgment against Chartis and the release of the associated reserves.


Year-to-Date Foreign General Insurance Net Loss Development

    Foreign General Insurance experienced net favorable prior-year development of $18 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, with $31 million of favorable development related to Ascot, $21 million of favorable development from the excess casualty line of business and $18 million of favorable development from the D&O line of business being offset by $67 million of adverse development in asbestos claims and $54 million of adverse development from the professional liability business segment. The remainder was spread throughout the other lines of business.

Quarterly Foreign General Insurance Investing and Other Results

    Foreign General Insurance net investment income decreased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to lower mutual fund income and partnership results.

    Foreign General Insurance recorded net realized capital losses in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 mainly due to gains in the sales of fixed maturity securities being more than offset by the negative effect of foreign exchange.

Year-to-Date Foreign General Insurance Investing and Other Results

    Foreign General Insurance net investment income increased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to higher partnership results, dividends earned, and other investment income being partially offset by lower mutual fund and interest income. Investment expense was also lower.

    Foreign General Insurance recorded net realized capital gains in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 due to gains in the sales of fixed maturity securities and real estate, the favorable effect of foreign exchange and lower other-than-temporary impairments on investments being partially offset by losses on derivatives.

    On March 31, 2010, AIG, through a Foreign General Insurance subsidiary, purchased additional voting shares in Fuji. The acquisition of the additional voting shares resulted in Foreign General Insurance obtaining control of Fuji.

    Because the acquisition was completed on the last day of the quarter, the initial accounting for the acquisition was incomplete when AIG issued its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The initial purchase price allocation was based on the information that was available at the time to identify and estimate certain of the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests of Fuji as of the acquisition date. Fuji's financial information is reported to Foreign General Insurance on a quarter lag. As such, Foreign General Insurance was awaiting additional information necessary to finalize the purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date. Furthermore, at the time, Foreign General Insurance had not obtained final appraisals of Fuji's insurance contracts, loans, certain real estate and intangible assets.

    During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, Foreign General Insurance completed the accounting for the acquisition and retrospectively adjusted the provisional amounts initially recorded. Foreign General Insurance obtained the additional information necessary to finalize the purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date including final appraisals of Fuji's insurance contracts, loans, certain real estate or intangible assets. During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, adjustments to the revised purchase price allocation as of March 31, 2010 occurred as a result of new information that became known about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized as of that date. As a consequence, these adjustments have been reflected retroactively back to the date of acquisition.

    At June 30, 2010, AIG reported that the acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain of approximately $406 million, which was included in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) in Other Income. The adjustments to the revised purchase price allocation during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 reduced the bargain purchase gain by approximately $74 million to $332 million. AIG will retrospectively revise its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 when presenting comparative financial information containing that period. The bargain purchase gain is primarily attributable to the depressed market value of Fuji's common stock, which AIG believes is the result of macro-economic, capital market and regulatory factors in Japan coupled with Fuji's financial condition and results of operations. AIG anticipates that the bargain purchase gain will not be subject to U.S. or foreign income tax because the gain would only be recognized for tax purposes upon the sale of the Fuji shares.


Liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense

    The following discussion on the consolidated liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expenses (loss reserves) presents loss reserves for the Commercial Insurance and Foreign General Insurance reporting units in the General Insurance operating segment and loss reserves pertaining to divested and/or Noncore businesses and those of the Mortgage Guaranty reporting unit collectively reported in AIG's Other operations category.

    AIG's gross loss reserves represent the accumulation of estimates of ultimate losses, including estimates for incurred but not yet reported reserves (IBNR) and loss expenses. The methods used to determine loss reserve estimates and to establish the resulting reserves are continually reviewed and updated. Any adjustments resulting from this review are currently reflected in pre-tax income. Because loss reserve estimates are subject to the outcome of future events, changes in estimates are unavoidable given that loss trends vary and time is often required for changes in trends to be recognized and confirmed. Reserve changes that increase previous estimates of ultimate cost are referred to as unfavorable or adverse development or reserve strengthening. Reserve changes that decrease previous estimates of ultimate cost are referred to as favorable development.

    The net loss reserves represent loss reserves reduced by reinsurance recoverable, net of an allowance for unrecoverable reinsurance and applicable discount for future investment income.

Discounting of Reserves

    At September 30, 2010, net loss reserves reflect a loss reserve discount of $2.81 billion, including tabular and non-tabular calculations. The tabular workers' compensation discount is calculated using a 3.5 percent interest rate and the 1979-81 Decennial Mortality Table. The non-tabular workers' compensation discount is calculated separately for companies domiciled in New York and Pennsylvania, and follows the statutory regulations for each state. For New York companies, the discount is based on a five percent interest rate and the companies' own payout patterns. For Pennsylvania companies, the statute has specified discount factors for accident years 2001 and prior, which are based on a six percent interest rate and an industry payout pattern. For accident years 2002 and subsequent, the discount is based on the payout patterns and investment yields of the companies. Certain asbestos business that was written by General Insurance is discounted based on the investment yields of the companies and the payout pattern for this business. The discount is comprised of the following: $669 million — tabular discount for workers' compensation in Commercial Insurance and $2.09 billion — non-tabular discount for workers' compensation in Commercial Insurance; and $53 million — non-tabular discount for asbestos for General Insurance.

Quarterly Reserving Process

    AIG believes that the net loss reserves are adequate to cover net losses and loss expenses as of September 30, 2010. While AIG regularly reviews the adequacy of established loss reserves, there can be no assurance that AIG's ultimate loss reserves will not develop adversely and materially exceed AIG's loss reserves as of September 30, 2010. In the opinion of management, such adverse development and resulting increase in reserves is not likely to have a material adverse effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition, although it could have a material adverse effect on AIG's consolidated results of operations for an individual reporting period.

    In determining the loss development from prior accident years, AIG conducts analyses to determine the change in estimated ultimate loss for each accident year for each class of business. For example, if loss emergence for a class of business is different than expected for certain accident years, the actuaries examine the indicated effect such emergence would have on the reserves of that class of business. In some cases, the higher or lower than expected emergence may result in no clear change in the ultimate loss estimate for the accident years in question, and no adjustment would be made to the reserves for the class of business for prior accident years. In other cases, the higher or lower than expected emergence may result in a larger change, either favorable or unfavorable, than the difference between the actual and expected loss emergence. Such additional analyses were conducted for each class of business, as appropriate, in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 to determine the loss development from prior accident years for three-month period ended September 30, 2010. As part of its reserving process, AIG also considers notices of claims received with respect to emerging issues, such as those related to the U.S. mortgage and housing market.

    See General Insurance Results herein for further discussion of net loss development.

Asbestos and Environmental Reserves

    The estimation of loss reserves relating to asbestos and environmental claims on insurance policies written many years ago is subject to greater uncertainty than other types of claims due to inconsistent court decisions as well as judicial interpretations and legislative actions that in some cases have tended to broaden coverage beyond the original intent of such policies and in others have expanded theories of liability.

    As described more fully in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, AIG's reserves relating to asbestos and environmental claims reflect a comprehensive ground-up analysis. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, $389 million gross and $160 million net of adverse incurred loss development pertaining to asbestos was reflected in the table that follows. This development was primarily attributable to several large accounts. In addition, a minor adjustment to the environmental gross and net reserves was also recognized.

Survival Ratios — Asbestos and Environmental

    The following table presents AIG's survival ratios for asbestos and environmental claims at September 30, 2010 and 2009. The survival ratio is derived by dividing the current carried loss reserve by the average payments for the three most recent calendar years for these claims. Therefore, the survival ratio is a simplistic measure estimating the number of years it would be before the current ending loss reserves for these claims would be paid off using recent year average payments. In addition, AIG's survival ratio for asbestos claims was negatively affected by certain favorable settlements during 2008 and 2007. These settlements reduced gross and net asbestos survival ratios at September 30, 2010 by approximately 0.2 years and 0.6 years, respectively; and reduced gross and net asbestos survival ratios at September 30, 2009 by approximately 0.8 years and 1.9 years, respectively. Many factors, such as aggressive settlement procedures, mix of business and level of coverage provided, have a significant effect on the amount of asbestos and environmental reserves and payments and the resultant survival ratio. Moreover, as discussed above, the primary basis for AIG's determination of its reserves are not survival ratios, but instead the ground-up and top-down analysis. Thus, caution should be exercised in attempting to determine reserve adequacy for these claims based simply on this survival ratio.

The following table presents AIG's survival ratios for asbestos and environmental claims, separately and combined, which were based upon a three-year average payment:

SunAmerica Financial Group also maintains a runoff block of Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs) that were issued to the institutional market place prior to 2006.

    In managing SunAmerica Financial Group, AIG analyzes the operating performance of each business using pre-tax income (loss) before net realized capital gains (losses). Pre-tax income (loss) before net realized capital gains (losses) is not a substitute for pre-tax income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, AIG believes that the presentation of pre-tax income (loss) before net realized capital gains (losses) enhances the understanding of the underlying profitability of the ongoing operations of SunAmerica Financial Group. The reconciliations to pre-tax income are provided in the tables that follow.

Quarterly Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services Results

    Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services reported a decrease in pre-tax income before net realized capital losses in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to the following:

    Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services reported a net realized capital gain for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as gains on the sale of securities and a $167 million gain from a legal settlement related to AIG's terminated U.S. securities lending program more than offset other-than-temporary impairment charges and derivative fair value losses. Other-than-temporary impairment charges declined by $383 million from the same period of 2009 and derivative fair value losses on interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives, which are primarily used to hedge the effect of interest rate and foreign exchange movements on GIC reserves, decreased by $426 million including the foreign exchange offset by the underlying GIC reserves.

Year-to Date Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services Results

    Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services reported an increase in pre-tax income before net realized capital losses in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to the following:

    Pre-tax income for Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services reflected lower levels of net realized capital losses principally from lower other-than-temporary impairment charges of $1.8 billion, the $167 million gain from the legal settlement noted above and increases in net realized capital gains from the sale of securities during the three months ended September 30, 2010. These improvements were partially offset by an increase of $655 million related to derivative fair values losses noted above. In addition, during 2010 Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services recorded $549 million of losses from the change in fair value of embedded derivative liabilities, net of economic hedges, compared to gains of $125 million in 2009. These losses were primarily driven by increases in volatilities in the equity markets and declines in long-term interest rates.

    Although there were no unlocking adjustments in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, management expects to complete its annual review of all actuarial estimates and assumptions in the fourth quarter. The review may result in fourth quarter changes in various actuarial assumptions including those pertaining to DAC, reserves and the fair value of certain variable annuity guarantees.

variable annuities offset a decline in individual fixed annuity deposits. Life insurance sales increased in the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 driven by term and universal life products sold through independent and career distribution networks. Group Retirement deposits increased for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to new product introductions and the resumption of sales in a number of third party sales channels. Individual fixed annuity deposits decreased primarily due to the low interest rate environment in 2010. Variable annuity sales increased due to competitive product enhancements, reinstatements at a number of key broker-dealers, and increased wholesaler productivity. Payout annuity sales increased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 as a result of improved structured settlement and immediate annuity sales.

Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services Operations

    AIG's Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations include traditional life insurance, retirement planning, accident and health insurance, as well as savings and investment products for consumers and businesses. The Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services products are sold through independent producers, career agents, financial institutions and direct marketing channels.

    In managing its Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services businesses, AIG analyzes the operating performance of each business using pre-tax income (loss) before net realized capital gains (losses). Pre-tax income (loss) before net realized capital gains (losses) is not a substitute for pre-tax income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, AIG believes that the presentation of pre-tax income (loss) before net realized capital gains (losses) enhances the understanding of the operating performance of the Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services businesses by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of its businesses. The reconciliations to pre-tax income are provided in the table that follows.

    Following the classification of ALICO, AIG Star and AIG Edison and Nan Shan as discontinued operations (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), AIG's remaining Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations are conducted primarily through AIA and, to a lesser extent, AIRCO.

Quarterly Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services Results

    Premiums and other considerations increased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to the favorable effect of foreign exchange shown above as well as higher in-force business as a result of improvement in persistency from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and China. Net investment income was essentially unchanged compared to the same period in 2009, however, excluding policyholder trading gains of $42 million, increased due to higher levels of invested assets and market improvement.

    Pre-tax income before net realized capital gains increased significantly in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 largely due to the factors mentioned above as well as:

    This improvement was partially offset by an increase in salaries and bonuses, a long-term incentive program provision as well as higher expenses related to strategic systems investments.

    Pre-tax income included a decline in net realized capital gains in the Philippines and China.

Year-to-Date Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services Results

    Premiums and other considerations increased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to the favorable effects of foreign exchange shown above, higher in-force business as a result of improvement in persistency in key Asian markets and higher sales volumes in the first nine months of 2010. Net investment income decreased compared to the same period in 2009 due to a $1.4 billion decline in policyholder trading gains. Net investment income, excluding policyholder trading gains, increased due to increased holdings in longer dated bonds in Korea, higher dividend income in Thailand and higher invested assets across key Asian markets.

    Pre-tax income before net realized capital gains increased significantly in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 largely due to the factors mentioned above as well as:

Quarterly Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services Sales and Deposits

    First year premium sales declined in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 on both a U.S. dollar basis and original currency basis. Hong Kong benefited from strong savings product sales in the same period of the prior year which became renewal sales in the current period. Australia new business sales returned to normal following the successful acquisition of a few large corporate customers last year, while Korea's first year sales performance was depressed as competition in the direct marketing channel intensified. Traditional life insurance products contributed over 50 percent of first year insurance sales with growing demand for investment-oriented life insurance products as market volatility decreased. Strong first year insurance sales in Singapore with the launch of a popular savings product and Thailand as political unrest stabilized were partially offset by a decline in Hong Kong, Australia and Korea.

    Single premium sales declined in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 on both a U.S. dollar basis and original currency basis compared to the same period in 2009. Increased single premium sales in Korea and the Philippines were not sufficient to offset a decline in single premium sales in Singapore which experienced strong single premium sales in same period prior year as market conditions improved.

    Annuity deposits increased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 on both a U.S. dollar basis and original currency basis compared to the same period in 2009 due to a successful promotion campaign on fixed annuity deposits in Korea.

Year-to-Date Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services Sales and Deposits

    First year premium sales increased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 on a U.S. dollar basis and declined slightly on an original currency basis as sales continued to focus on traditional life insurance products in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and China as economic growth solidified and broadened across Asian markets. The increase in savings and investment product sales in Hong Kong and Thailand fully offset the declines in Korea due to re-pricing of savings and investment products.

    Single premium sales declined in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 on both a U.S. dollar basis and original currency basis compared to the same period in 2009. Increased single premium sales in Korea and the Philippines were not sufficient to offset a decline in single premium sales in Singapore which experienced strong single premium sales in the prior year period as market conditions improved.

    Annuity deposits increased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 on both a U.S. dollar basis and original currency basis compared to the same period in 2009 due to significantly increased fixed annuity deposits in Korea.


Sales Inducement Assets

    AIG offers sales inducements, which include enhanced crediting rates or bonus payments to contract holders (bonus interest) on certain annuity and investment contract products. Sales inducements provided to the contractholder are recognized as part of the liability for policyholders' contract deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Such amounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the contract using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize DAC.


Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

    DAC for Life Insurance & Retirement Services products arises from the deferral of costs that vary with, and are directly related to, the acquisition of new or renewal business. Policy acquisition costs for life insurance products are generally deferred and amortized over the premium paying period. Policy acquisition costs that relate to universal life and investment-type products are generally deferred and amortized, with interest in relation to the incidence of estimated gross profits to be realized over the estimated lives of the contracts. Value of Business Acquired (VOBA) is determined at the time of acquisition and is reported on the consolidated balance sheet with DAC and amortized over the life of the business similar to DAC.


The following table summarizes the major components of the changes in DAC/VOBA:

In 2009, includes a decrease of $1.3 billion related to the cumulative effect of adopting a new other-than-temporary impairments accounting standard and a decrease of $479 million related to the divestiture of the operations in Canada.

    As AIG operates in various global markets, the estimated gross profits used to amortize DAC and VOBA are subject to differing market returns and interest rate environments in any single period. The combination of market returns and interest rates may lead to acceleration of amortization in some products and regions and simultaneous deceleration of amortization in other products and regions.

    DAC and VOBA for insurance-oriented, investment-oriented and retirement services products are reviewed for recoverability, which involves estimating the future profitability of current business. This review involves significant management judgment. If actual future profitability is substantially lower than estimated, AIG's DAC and VOBA may be subject to an impairment charge and AIG's results of operations could be significantly affected in future periods.


Financial Services Operations

    AIG's Financial Services subsidiaries engage in diversified activities including commercial aircraft and equipment leasing and capital markets, which are conducted through ILFC and AIGFP. Following the classification of AGF as discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2010 (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), AIG's remaining consumer finance businesses are now reported in AIG's Other operations category as part of Noncore businesses.

    As discussed in Note 2, in order to align financial reporting with changes made during the third quarter of 2010 to the manner in which AIG's chief operating decision makers review the businesses to make decisions about resources to be allocated and to assess performance, changes were made to AIG's segment information. During the third quarter of 2010, AIG's Asset Management group undertook the management responsibilities for non-derivative assets and liabilities of the Capital Markets businesses of the Financial Services segment. These assets and liabilities are being managed on a spread basis, in concert with the Matched Investment Program. Accordingly, gains and losses related to these assets and liabilities, primarily consisting of credit valuation adjustment gains and losses, reported in AIG's Other operations category as part of Asset Management — Direct Investment Business. Also, intercompany interest related to loans from AIG Funding Inc. (AIG Funding) to AIGFP is no longer being allocated to Capital Markets from Other operations.

    The remaining capital markets derivatives business continues to be reported in the Financial Services segment as part of Capital Markets results.

    Prior periods have been revised to conform with the current period presentation for the above changes.


Aircraft Leasing

    AIG's Aircraft Leasing operations are the operations of ILFC, which generates its revenues primarily from leasing new and used commercial jet aircraft to foreign and domestic airlines. Revenues also result from the remarketing of commercial jet aircraft for ILFC's own account, and remarketing and fleet management services for airlines and other aircraft fleet owners.


Capital Markets

    AIGFP engaged as principal in a wide variety of financial transactions, including standard and customized financial products involving commodities, credit, currencies, energy, equities and interest rates. AIGFP has continued to unwind its businesses and portfolios, including those associated with credit protection written through credit default swaps on super senior risk tranches of diversified pools of loans and debt securities. See Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries — Financial Services — Capital Markets Wind-down.

    Historically, AIG's Capital Markets operations derived a significant portion of their revenues from hedged financial positions entered into in connection with counterparty transactions. AIGFP has also participated as a dealer in a wide variety of financial derivatives transactions.

Year-to-Date Capital Markets Results

    Capital Markets reported a pre-tax loss in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to pre-tax income in the same period in 2009 primarily due to: lower market valuation gains related to the super senior credit default swap portfolio; the significant decrease related to the net effect of changes in credit spreads on the valuation of Capital Markets derivative assets and liabilities; partially offset by lower costs related to the continued wind-down of Capital Markets businesses and portfolios.

    Capital Markets reported unrealized market valuation gains related to the super senior credit default swap portfolio of $432 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to unrealized market valuation gains of $1.1 billion for the same period in 2009.

Parent & Other

    Parent & Other pre-tax loss decreased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due primarily to the absence of net losses on sales of divested businesses in 2010, partially offset by an increase in unallocated corporate expenses reflecting a charge recorded in the third quarter of 2010 in connection with the workers compensation matter discussed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements as well as higher net realized capital losses.

    Parent & Other pre-tax loss decreased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to the following:

    This improvement was partially offset by higher unallocated corporate expenses reflecting an increase in securities litigation related charges.

Mortgage Guaranty

    The main business of the subsidiaries of UGC is the issuance of residential mortgage guaranty insurance, both domestically and internationally, that covers the first loss for credit defaults on high loan-to-value conventional first-lien mortgages for the purchase or refinance of one- to four-family residences.


Quarterly Mortgage Guaranty Results

    Mortgage Guaranty reported lower pre-tax losses in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. This improvement reflected a decline in claim and claims adjustment expenses incurred of $401 million. Domestic first-lien and international businesses reported pre-tax income of $6 million and $27 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 while second-lien and private student loans reported pre-tax losses of $91 million and $70 million, respectively. Domestic first-lien and international businesses pre-tax income was $243 million and $130 million higher, respectively, than the three months ended September 30, 2009. Domestic second-lien loss was $14 million lower than the same period in 2009 and the private student loan loss was $56 million higher than the same period in 2009. The improvement in pre-tax income for domestic first-lien, second-lien and international businesses reflects the decline in loss and loss expenses of $287 million for first liens, $27 million for second liens and $144 million for international markets,

respectively. The increase in the private student loan pre-tax loss is the result of an increase in claim and claims adjustment expenses of $57 million compared to the same period in 2009. The lower claims and claims adjustment expenses include unfavorable prior year development of $26 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to favorable prior year development of $55 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. The change in prior year development is due primarily to a change in the loss development of the second-lien business during the current quarter. The improved pre-tax results correspond to lower levels of newly reported delinquencies in the first-lien and international products, higher mortgage cure rates on existing first-lien and international delinquent loans, higher rescission rates on first-lien claims and the recognition of stop loss limits on certain second-lien policies partially offset by increased delinquencies in private student loans.

    UGC, like other participants in the mortgage insurance industry, has provided services to assist lenders during times of high loan origination activity. In providing these services UGC assumed certain obligations associated with loans on which these services were provided. During the three months ended September 30, 2010 UGC determined that these types of expenses from legacy books of business were increasing and accordingly UGC has increased the provision for these expenses by $30 million to reflect UGC's best estimate of the expected ultimate costs associated with these services. UGC will continue to closely monitor these occurrences and will adjust the provision for these obligations accordingly.


Year-to-Date Mortgage Guaranty Results

    Mortgage Guaranty reported pre-tax income in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to a pre-tax loss in the same period in 2009. This improvement reflected a decline in claims and claims adjustment expenses incurred of $2.0 billion, offset in part by lower earned premiums and by an amortization of the second-lien premium deficiency reserve of $222 million in the first quarter of 2009. Domestic first-lien, second-lien and international businesses reported pre-tax income of $116 million, $93 million and $63 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 which was $996 million, $401 million and $262 million higher, respectively, than the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The improvement in pre-tax income reflects the decline in claims and claims adjustment expenses of $1.1 billion for first liens, $661 million for second liens and $298 million for international markets. The lower claims and claims adjustment expenses include favorable prior year development of $438 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to unfavorable prior year development of $73 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The improved pre-tax results correspond to lower levels of newly reported delinquencies in the first-lien, second-lien and international products, higher mortgage cure rates on existing first-lien and international delinquent loans, higher rescission rates on first-lien claims and the recognition of stop loss limits on certain second-lien policies, partially offset by increased delinquencies in private student loans.

    UGC continues to deny claims and rescind coverage on loans (collectively referred to as rescissions) due to fraudulent or undocumented claims, underwriting guideline violations and other deviations from contractual terms, mostly related to the 2006 and 2007 vintage books of business. These policy violations have resulted in loan rescissions totaling $286 million of claims on first-lien business during the third quarter of 2010 compared to $146 million during the second quarter of 2010. UGC expects this increased rescission activity to continue during 2010, but at a slowing rate. These rescissions will continue to affect UGC's financial results, but the UGC cannot reasonably estimate the ultimate financial impact. AIG believes it has provided appropriate reserves for currently delinquent loans, consistent with industry practice.

    During the third quarter of 2010, foreclosure moratoriums, state attorneys general investigations and new financial regulations occurred which may affect UGC's future financial results. Final resolution of these issues is unclear and UGC cannot reasonably estimate the ultimate financial impact that any of these actions individually or collectively may have on its future results of operations or financial condition.

    UGC, like other participants in the mortgage insurance industry, has made claims against various counterparties in relation to alleged underwriting failures, and received similar claims from counterparties. These claims and counterclaims allege breach of contract, breach of good faith and fraud among other allegations.


Dispositions

    In December 2009, UGC entered into two stock purchase agreements for the sale of its Canadian and Israel operations. The Israel transaction closed on January 21, 2010 and the Canadian transaction closed on April 16, 2010.

Change in Fair Value of ML III

    Gains on ML III for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 were $301 million and $1.4 billion, respectively. The $301 million gain was attributable to the shortening of weighted average life by 1.54 years. Additionally, fair values for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 were positively affected by a decrease in projected credit losses in the underlying collateral securities.

    For the three months ended September 30, 2010, credit spreads tightened by 29 basis points which resulted in an overall narrowing of credit spreads by 114 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Asset Management Operations

    AIG's Asset Management operations include the results of the Direct Investment businesses and the Institutional Asset Management businesses, which includes AIG's internal asset management business and AIG Markets. AIG Markets acts as a derivative intermediary transacting with AIG and its subsidiaries and the third parties.

    On March 26, 2010, AIG completed the sale of its third party asset management business. The results of operations from January 1 through the closing of the sale are included in the Institutional Asset Management results. Subsequent to the sale of AIG's third party asset management business, the revenues of the Institutional Asset Management business are derived from providing asset management services to AIG and its subsidiaries. The Direct Investment businesses' operating results are impacted by performance in the credit, equity and real estate markets.


Direct Investment Business Results

    The Direct Investment business includes results for the Matched Investment Program, AIG Global Real Estate and the results of certain non-derivative assets and liabilities of Capital Markets now managed by the Asset Management Group.

    The Direct Investment businesses recognized pre-tax losses in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 driven by foreign exchange losses on non-U.S. dollar denominated debt, the negative impact of AIG's narrowing credit spread on the valuation of liabilities as well as impairments on real estate investments.

Also contributing to the loss was the discontinuation of hedge accounting early in 2010. Economic hedging relationships are being retained despite the discontinuation of hedge accounting. Partially offsetting these negative drivers was the positive impact of improved asset values of fixed income trading securities and debt defeasance gains in the Global Real Estate portfolio.

    The Direct Investment business pre-tax loss in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 includes a net loss representing the effect of changes in credit spreads on the valuation of its assets and liabilities. The net loss was primarily the result of the tightening of AIG's credit spreads during the quarter, partially offset by the continued tightening of credit spreads on asset-backed securities and CDOs.

The gain in the third quarter of 2009 was primarily the result of the tightening of credit spreads on asset-backed securities and CDOs, partially offset by the narrowing of AIG's credit spreads.

    The Direct Investment business pre-tax loss in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 includes a net gain representing the effect of changes in credit spreads on the valuation of its assets and liabilities. The gain was primarily the result of the tightening of credit spreads on asset-backed securities and CDOs, partially offset by the tightening of AIG's credit spreads.

    The Direct Investment business pre-tax loss in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 includes a net gain representing the effect of changes in credit spreads on the valuation of its assets and liabilities. The gain in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 was primarily the result of the tightening of credit spreads on asset-backed securities and CDOs.


Institutional Asset Management Results

    Institutional Asset Management recognized a pre-tax loss in the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 driven by operating expenses which exceeded asset management fees as well as the sale and deconsolidation of the operating results of AIG's third party asset management business and certain previously consolidated private equity investments. Also contributing to the current quarter operating losses is the negative impact of AIG's narrowing credit spreads on the valuation of derivative liabilities held through AIG Markets. In the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, losses were driven by impairment charges related to proprietary investment originally acquired for warehouse purposes as well as goodwill impairment charges.

Noncore Businesses

    Noncore businesses include the operating results of divested businesses through the date of their sale.

    Following the classification of AGF as discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2010 (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), AIG's remaining consumer finance businesses are now reported in AIG's Other operations category as part of Noncore businesses.

    At September 30, 2010, the remaining consumer finance operations were conducted in Poland and India. During the first nine months of 2010, AIG completed the sale of consumer finance operations in Argentina, Colombia, Taiwan and its banking business in Poland. In October 2010, AIG completed the sale of its consumer finance operations in India.


Critical Accounting Estimates

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. AIG considers its accounting policies that are most dependent

175


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries


on the application of estimates and assumptions, and therefore viewed as critical accounting estimates, to be those relating to items considered by management in the determination of:

    These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, AIG's financial condition and results of operations would be directly affected. Following is a discussion of updates to Critical Accounting Estimates during 2010. For a complete discussion of AIG's accounting estimates, see the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Goodwill Impairment:

    Goodwill is the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquired business. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.

    The impairment assessment involves a two-step process in which an initial assessment for potential impairment is performed and, if potential impairment is present, the amount of impairment is measured (if any) and recorded. Impairment is tested at the reporting unit level.

    Management initially assesses the potential for impairment by estimating the fair value of each of AIG's reporting units and comparing the estimated fair values with the carrying amounts of those reporting units, including allocated goodwill. The estimate of a reporting unit's fair value may be based on one or a combination of approaches including market-based earning multiples of the unit's peer companies, discounted expected future cash flows, external appraisals or, in the case of reporting units being considered for sale, third-party indications of fair value, if available. Management considers one or more of these estimates when determining the fair value of a reporting unit to be used in the impairment test. As part of the impairment test, management compares the sum of the estimated fair values of all of AIG's reporting units with AIG's market capitalization as a basis for concluding on the reasonableness of the estimated reporting unit fair values.

    If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, goodwill associated with that reporting unit potentially is impaired. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured as the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the estimated fair value of the goodwill. The estimated fair value of the goodwill is measured as the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts that would be assigned to the reporting unit's assets and liabilities in a hypothetical business combination. An impairment charge is recognized in earnings to the extent of the excess.

    In connection with the announced sale of ALICO on March 7, 2010 and management's decision that ALICO met the held-for-sale criteria on March 31, 2010, total goodwill of $4.6 billion associated with the Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services — Japan operating segment through that date was allocated among ALICO and AIG Star and AIG Edison based on their relative fair values as of March 31, 2010. This resulted in $3.3 billion and $1.3 billion of goodwill being allocated to ALICO and the AIG Star and AIG Edison reporting units,

176


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries


respectively for the purpose of assessing goodwill impairment. Management tested goodwill for impairment in both reporting units and determined the fair values of ALICO and AIG Star and AIG Edison exceeded book value at March 31, 2010, by 1 percent and 51 percent, respectively, and, therefore, the goodwill of these reporting units was considered not impaired.

    The fair value of ALICO used to test goodwill for impairment at March 31, 2010 was determined by AIG by considering, among other information, a third-party valuation at March 31, 2010 of the announced proceeds from the sale of ALICO to MetLife. Given the significance of the equity component of the consideration, the fair value of ALICO is sensitive to the market value and volatility of MetLife common stock, the risk-free interest rate yield curve and discount rate assumptions used in estimating fair value. Because the market value of MetLife's common stock declined 13 percent at June 30, 2010 compared with March 31, 2010, AIG updated its goodwill impairment test for ALICO. At June 30, 2010, AIG estimated the fair value of ALICO and determined the fair value of ALICO to be less than its carrying value. Accordingly, AIG performed the second step of the goodwill impairment analysis and estimated the implied fair value of the goodwill allocated to ALICO by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value of ALICO over the amounts that would be assigned to ALICO's assets and liabilities in a hypothetical business combination. Based on the results of the goodwill impairment test, AIG determined that all of the goodwill allocated to ALICO should be impaired and, accordingly, recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $3.3 billion in the second quarter of 2010.

    In connection with the announced sale of the AIG Star and AIG Edison reporting unit (Reporting Unit) on September 29, 2010 and management's determination that the Reporting Unit met the held-for-sale criteria, management tested the $1.3 billion of goodwill of the Reporting Unit for impairment. At September 30, 2010, AIG estimated the fair value of the Reporting Unit based on the consideration to be received pursuant to the agreement with Prudential Financial Inc. and determined the fair value to be less than its carrying value. Accordingly, AIG performed the second step of the goodwill impairment analysis and estimated the implied fair value of the goodwill allocated to the Reporting Unit by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value of the Reporting Unit over the amounts that would be assigned to the Reporting Unit's assets and liabilities in a hypothetical business combination. Based on the results of the goodwill impairment test, AIG determined that all of the goodwill allocated to the Reporting Unit should be impaired and, accordingly, recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $1.3 billion in the third quarter of 2010.


Valuation Allowance on Deferred Tax Assets:

    At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, AIG had a net deferred tax asset after valuation allowance of $1.3 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively. A valuation allowance is established, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized (a likelihood of more than 50 percent). Realization of AIG's net deferred tax asset depends upon its ability to generate gains on asset sales, including from the recently completed initial public offering of AIA, future sales of AIA ordinary shares held by AIG and tax planning strategies that would be implemented, if necessary, to protect against the loss of the deferred tax asset. However, the realization of the net deferred tax assets does not depend on projected future operating income for AIG's U.S. consolidated income tax group.

    When making its assessment about the realization of its deferred tax asset at September 30, 2010, AIG considered all available evidence, including:

    Estimates of future gains generated from specific transactions and tax planning strategies could change in the near term, perhaps materially, which may require AIG to adjust its valuation allowance. Such adjustment, either

177


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries


positive or negative, could be material to AIG's consolidated financial condition or its results of operations for an individual reporting period.

    When estimating the fair values of the subsidiaries to be divested, AIG considered, among other information, valuations prepared for various purposes. During the first quarter of 2010, AIG increased its estimate of the AIA and ALICO expected divestiture proceeds following an updated assessment of the range of valuation estimates that considered, among other factors, the expected proceeds from the sales to Prudential plc and MetLife, Inc. announced in that quarter, which gave rise to a $910 million reduction in the valuation allowance. During the third quarter, based on the expectation of lower proceeds from the sale of AIA ordinary shares, the realization amount of the deferred tax assets was reduced by increasing valuation allowance of $1.3 billion.


U.S. Income Taxes on Earnings of Certain Foreign Subsidiaries:

    Due to the complexity of the U.S. federal income tax laws involved in determining the amount of income taxes related to differences between book carrying value and tax basis of subsidiaries, as well as the level of judgment and reliance on reasonable assumptions and estimates in calculating this liability, AIG considers the U.S. federal income taxes accrued on the earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries to be a critical accounting estimate.


Measurement of the Fair Values of the Assets Acquired, Liabilities Assumed, and Noncontrolling Interests of Fuji

    On March 31, 2010, AIG, through a Chartis International subsidiary, purchased additional voting shares in Fuji. The acquisition of the additional voting shares for $145 million increased Chartis' total voting ownership interest in Fuji from 41.7 percent to 54.8 percent, which resulted in Chartis obtaining control of Fuji.

    Because the acquisition was completed on the last day of the quarter, the initial accounting for the acquisition was incomplete when AIG issued its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The initial purchase price allocation was based on the information that was available at the time to identify and estimate certain of the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests of Fuji as of the acquisition date. Fuji's financial information is reported to Chartis on a quarter lag. As such, Chartis was awaiting additional information necessary to finalize the purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date. Furthermore, at the time, Chartis had not obtained final appraisals of Fuji's insurance contracts, loans, certain real estate or intangible assets.

    During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, Chartis International obtained the additional information necessary to finalize the purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date including final appraisals of Fuji's insurance contracts, loans, certain real estate or intangible assets and retrospectively adjusted the provisional amounts initially recorded. During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, adjustments to the previously reported purchase price allocation as of March 31, 2010 occurred as a result of new information that became known about market conditions in the life insurance industry in Japan that existed as of the acquisition date which, if known, would have reduced the amount recognized by Chartis International as of that date for the fair value of the business acquired (VOBA) of Fuji's life insurance subsidiary by approximately $132 million. Public announcements of capital raising initiatives during this period in response to new regulatory solvency rules announced by the Japanese regulator prior to the acquisition date but not yet adopted indicated that market participants are managing to the target solvency margin ratios under the new solvency margin rules instead of the current solvency margin rules. As a result, Chartis International revised its target capital assumption in its VOBA calculation based on the new standard. In addition, Chartis International increased the previously reported purchase price allocation as of March 31, 2010 by approximately $11 million as a result of new information received during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 regarding certain assets and liabilities of Fuji. Additional adjustments to the purchase price allocation as of March 31, 2010 may occur if new information becomes known about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized as of that date.

    The acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain of approximately $332 million, which is included in Other Income in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss). AIG will retrospectively revise its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 when presenting comparative financial information containing that period. The bargain purchase gain is primarily attributable to the depressed market value of Fuji's common stock, which AIG believes is the result of macro-economic, capital market and regulatory factors in Japan coupled with Fuji's financial condition and results of operations. AIG anticipates that the bargain purchase gain will not be subject to U.S. or foreign income tax because the gain would only be recognized for tax purposes upon the sale of the Fuji shares.

    See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detailed information about AIG's accounting policy for the incorporation of credit risk in fair value measurements and the measurement of fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities.


Level 3 Assets and Liabilities

    Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are classified in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes consisting of three "levels" based on the observability of inputs available in the marketplace used to measure the fair value. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the three levels of observability.

    At September 30, 2010, AIG classified $38.9 billion and $11.2 billion of assets and liabilities, respectively, measured at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 3. This represented 4.5 percent and 1.5 percent of the total assets and liabilities, respectively, at September 30, 2010. At December 31, 2009, AIG classified $38.9 billion and $13.9 billion of assets and liabilities, respectively, measured at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 3. This represented 4.6 percent and 1.9 percent of the total assets and liabilities, respectively, at December 31, 2009. Level 3 fair value measurements are based on valuation techniques that use at least one significant input that is unobservable. These measurements are made under circumstances in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. AIG's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment.

    In making the assessment, AIG considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value of an asset or a liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety is classified is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

    Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of transfers of Level 3 assets and liabilities.

Valuation of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities

    AIG values its assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 using judgment and valuation models or other pricing techniques that require a variety of inputs including contractual terms, market prices and rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment rates and correlations of such inputs, some of which may be unobservable. The following paragraphs describe the methods AIG uses to measure on a recurring basis the fair value of the major classes of assets and liabilities classified in Level 3.

    Private equity and real estate fund investments:    These assets initially are valued at the transaction price, i.e., the price paid to acquire the asset. Subsequently, they are measured based on net asset value using information provided by the general partner or manager of these investments, the accounts of which generally are audited on an annual basis. AIG considers observable market data and performs diligence procedures in validating the appropriateness of using the net asset value as a fair value measurement.

    Corporate bonds and private placement debt:    These assets initially are valued at the transaction price. Subsequently, they are valued using market data for similar instruments (e.g., recent transactions, bond spreads or credit default swap spreads). When observable price quotations are not available, fair value is determined based on cash flow models using yield curves observed from indices or credit default swap spreads.

    Certain RMBS and CMBS:    These assets initially are valued at the transaction price. Subsequently, they may be valued by comparison to transactions in instruments with similar collateral and risk profiles considering remittances received and updated cumulative loss data on underlying obligations, or discounted cash flow techniques.

    Certain ABS — non-mortgage:    These assets initially are valued at the transaction price. Subsequently, they may be valued based on external price/spread data. When position-specific external price data are not observable, the valuation is based on prices of comparable securities.

    CDOs:    These assets initially are valued at the transaction price. Subsequently, they are valued based on external price/spread data from independent third parties, dealer quotations, matrix pricing, the Binomial Expansion Technique (BET) model or a combination of these methods.

    Interests in the Maiden Lane Interests:    At their inception, ML II and ML III were valued at the transaction prices of $1 billion and $5 billion, respectively. Subsequently, Maiden Lane Interests are valued using a discounted cash flow methodology that uses the estimated future cash flows of the assets to which the Maiden Lane Interests are entitled and the discount rates applicable to such interests as derived from the fair value of the entire asset pool. The implicit discount rates are calibrated to the changes in the estimated asset values for the underlying assets commensurate with AIG's interests in the capital structure of the respective entities. Estimated cash flows and discount rates used in the valuations are validated, to the extent possible, using market observable information for securities with similar asset pools, structure and terms.

    The fair value methodology used assumes that the underlying collateral in the Maiden Lane Interests will continue to be held and generate cash flows into the foreseeable future and does not assume a current liquidation of the assets of the Maiden Lane Interests. Other methodologies employed or assumptions made in determining fair value for these investments could result in amounts that differ significantly from the amounts reported.

    Refer to Note 5 for sensitivity analysis disclosures with respect to the Maiden Lane Interests.

    Capital Markets Super Senior Credit Default Swap Portfolio:    AIGFP wrote credit protection on the super senior risk layer of collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), multi-sector CDOs and diversified portfolios of corporate debt, and prime residential mortgages. In these transactions, AIGFP is at risk of credit performance on the super senior risk layer related to such assets. To a lesser extent, AIGFP also wrote protection on tranches below the super senior risk layer, primarily in respect of regulatory capital relief transactions.

(d)
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, AIGFP terminated a super senior CDS transaction with its counterparty with a net notional amount of $296 million, included in Multi-sector CDOs. This transaction was terminated at approximately its fair value at the time of the termination. As a result, a $202 million loss, which was previously included in the fair value derivative liability as an unrealized market valuation loss, was realized. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, AIGFP also paid $60 million to its counterparty with respect to multi-sector CDOs. Upon payment, a $60 million loss, which was previously included in the fair value derivative liability as an unrealized market valuation loss, was realized. Multi-sector CDOs also includes $5.6 billion and $6.3 billion in net notional amount of credit default swaps written with cash settlement provisions at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

(e)
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, AIGFP terminated super senior CDS transactions with its counterparties with a net notional amount of $9.3 billion, included in Corporate debt/CLOs.

Regulatory Capital Portfolio

    During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, $61.6 billion in net notional amount was terminated or matured at no cost to AIGFP. Through October 29, 2010, AIGFP had also received termination notices with respect to an additional $16.1 billion in net notional amount with an effective termination date in 2010. AIGFP continues to reassess the expected maturity of this portfolio. As of September 30, 2010, AIGFP estimated that the weighted average expected maturity of the portfolio was 2.18 years. AIGFP has not been required to make any payments as part of terminations initiated by counterparties. The regulatory benefit of these transactions for AIGFP's financial institution counterparties is generally derived from the terms of Basel I that existed through the end of 2007 and which is in the process of being replaced by Basel II. It was expected that financial institution counterparties would have transitioned from Basel I to Basel II by the end of the two-year adoption period on December 31, 2009, after which they would have received little or no additional regulatory benefit from these CDS transactions, except in a small number of specific instances. However, in 2009, the Basel Committee announced that it had agreed to keep in place the Basel I capital floors beyond the end of 2009, although it remains to be seen how this extension will be implemented by the various European Central Banking districts. Should certain counterparties continue to receive favorable regulatory capital benefits from these transactions, those counterparties may not exercise their options to terminate the transactions in the expected time frame.

    The weighted average expected maturity of the Regulatory Capital Portfolio increased as of September 30, 2010 by approximately 0.8 years from December 31, 2009 due to certain counterparties not terminating transactions with a combined net notional amount of $16.6 billion. Where these counterparties continue to have a right to terminate the transaction early, AIGFP has extended the expected maturity dates by one year, which is based on how long AIGFP believes the Basel I extension will be effective. Where the counterparties no longer have the right to terminate early, AIGFP has used the weighted average life of those transactions as their expected maturity. These counterparties in the Corporate Loan and Prime Residential Mortgage portfolios continue to receive favorable regulatory capital benefits as a result of the extension of the Basel I capital floor announced by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and, thus, AIG continues to categorize them as Regulatory Capital transactions.

    Included in the Regulatory Capital portfolio are transactions with one counterparty that notified AIG that it would not terminate early two of its Prime Residential Mortgage transactions and a related mezzanine transaction with a combined net notional amount of $26.8 billion that were expected to be terminated in the first quarter of 2010. With respect to these transactions, the counterparty no longer has any rights to terminate the transactions early and is required to pay AIG fees on the original notional amounts reduced only by realized losses through the final contractual maturity. Since the two transactions have weighted average lives that are considerably less than their final contractual maturities, there is value to AIGFP representing counterparty contractual fees to be received beyond the date at which the net notional amounts have fully amortized through to the final contractual maturity date. The fair value of these two super senior transactions as of September 30, 2010 was a derivative asset of $208 million. With respect to these two transactions, AIGFP has also written CDS transactions on the mezzanine tranches of these portfolios; however, the majority of the transactions on the mezzanine tranches were hedged by AIGFP with other third party CDS transactions.

    In light of early termination experience to date and after analyses of other market data, to the extent deemed relevant and available, AIG determined that there was no unrealized market valuation adjustment for any of the transactions in this regulatory capital relief portfolio for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 other than (1) for transactions where AIGFP believes the counterparty is no longer using the transaction to obtain regulatory capital relief as discussed above and (2) for transactions where the counterparty has failed to terminate the transaction early as expected and no longer has any rights to terminate early in the future. Although AIGFP believes the value of contractual fees receivable on these transactions through maturity exceeds the economic benefits of any potential payments to the counterparties, the counterparties' early termination rights, and AIGFP's expectation that such rights will be exercised, preclude the recognition of a derivative asset for these transactions.

(c)
Delinquency information is not provided to Capital Markets for the underlying pools of residential mortgages of these transactions. However, information with respect to principal amount outstanding, defaults, recoveries, remaining term, property use, geography, interest rates, and ratings of the underlying junior tranches are provided to Capital Markets for such referenced pools.

    All of the regulatory capital CDS transactions directly or indirectly reference tranched pools of large numbers of whole loans that were originated by the financial institution (or its affiliates) receiving the credit protection, rather than structured securities containing loans originated by other third parties. In the vast majority of transactions, the loans are intended to be retained by the originating financial institution and in all cases the originating financial institution is the purchaser of the CDS, either directly or through an intermediary.

    As further discussed below, AIGFP receives information monthly or quarterly regarding the performance and credit quality of the underlying referenced assets. AIGFP also obtains other information, such as ratings of the tranches below the super senior risk layer. The nature of the information provided or otherwise available to AIGFP with respect to the underlying assets in each regulatory capital CDS transaction is not consistent across all transactions. Furthermore, in a majority of corporate loan transactions and all of the residential mortgage transactions, the pools are blind, meaning that the identities of the obligors are not disclosed to AIGFP . In addition, although AIGFP receives periodic reports on the underlying asset pools, virtually all of the regulatory capital CDS transactions contain confidentiality restrictions that preclude AIGFP's public disclosure of information relating to the underlying referenced assets. The originating financial institutions, calculation agents or trustees (each a Report Provider) provide periodic reports on all underlying referenced assets as described below, including for those within the blind pools. While much of this information received by AIGFP cannot be aggregated in a comparable way for disclosure purposes because of the confidentiality restrictions and the inconsistency of the information, it does provide a sufficient basis for AIGFP to evaluate the risks of the portfolio and to determine a reasonable estimate of fair value.

    For regulatory capital CDS transactions written on underlying pools of corporate loans, AIGFP receives monthly or quarterly updates from one or more Report Providers for each such referenced pool detailing, with respect to the corporate loans comprising such pool, the principal amount outstanding and defaults. In virtually all of these reports, AIGFP also receives information on recoveries and realized losses. AIGFP also receives quarterly stratification tables for each pool incorporating geography, industry and, when not publicly rated, the counterparty's assessment of the credit quality of the underlying corporate loans. Additionally, for a significant majority of these regulatory capital CDS transactions, upon the occurrence of a credit event with respect to any corporate loan included in any such pool, AIG receives a notice detailing the identity or identification number of the borrower, notional amount of such loan and the effective date of such credit event.

    Ratings from independent ratings agencies for the underlying assets of the corporate loan portfolio are not universally available, but AIGFP estimates the ratings for the assets not rated by independent agencies by mapping the information obtained from the Report Providers to rating agency criteria. The "Percent Non-Investment Grade" information in the table above is provided as an indication of the nature of loans underlying the transactions, not necessarily as an indicator of relative risk of the CDS transactions, which is determined by the individual transaction structures. For example, Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) loan balances tend to be rated lower than loans to large, well-established enterprises. However, the greater number of loans and the smaller average size of the SME loans mitigate the risk profile of the pools. In addition, the transaction structures reflect AIGFP's assessment of the loan collateral arrangements, expected recovery values, and reserve accounts in determining the level of subordination required to minimize the risk of loss. The percentage of non-investment grade obligations in the underlying pools of corporate loans varies considerably. The two pools containing the highest percentages of non-investment grade obligations, which include all transactions with pools having non-investment grade percentages greater than 35.00 percent, are all granular SME loan pools which benefit from collateral arrangements made by the originating financial institutions and from work out of recoveries by the originating financial institutions. The average number of loans in each pool is over 4,200. This large number of SME loans increases the predictability of the expected loss and lessens the probability that discrete events will have a meaningful impact on the results of the overall pool. These transactions benefit from a tranche junior to it which was still rated AAA by at least two rating agencies at September 30, 2010. Three other pools, with a total net notional amount of $1.7 billion, have non-investment grade percentages greater than

30.00 percent, each with a remaining life to maturity of 15.5 years. These pools have realized losses of 0.16 percent from inception through September 30, 2010 and have current weighted average attachment points of 40.63 percent. Approximately 0.83 percent of the assets underlying the corporate loan transactions are in default. The percentage of assets in default by transaction was available for all transactions and ranged from 0.00 percent to 3.78 percent.

    For regulatory capital CDS transactions written on underlying pools of residential mortgages, AIGFP receives quarterly reports for each such referenced pool detailing, with respect to the residential mortgages comprising such pool, the aggregate principal amount outstanding, defaults and realized losses. These reports include additional information on delinquencies for the large majority of the transactions and recoveries for substantially all transactions. AIGFP also receives quarterly stratification tables for each pool incorporating geography for the underlying residential mortgages. The stratification tables also include information on remaining term, property use and interest rates for a large majority of the transactions.

    Delinquency information for the mortgages underlying the residential mortgage transactions was available on approximately 96.11 percent of the total gross transaction notional amount and mortgages delinquent more than 30 days ranged from 0.11 percent to 2.62 percent, averaging 0.73 percent. Except for one transaction, which comprised less than 1.25 percent of the total gross transaction notional amount, the average default rate (expressed as a percentage of gross transaction notional amount) was 0.25 percent and ranged from 0.00 percent to 5.34 percent. The default rate on this one transaction was 18.81 percent with a subordination level of 49.66 percent.

    For all regulatory capital transactions, where the rating agencies directly rate the junior tranches of the pools, AIG monitors the rating agencies' releases for any affirmations or changes in such ratings, as well as any changes in rating methodologies or assumptions used by the rating agencies to the extent available. The tables below show the percentage of regulatory capital CDS transactions where there is an immediately junior tranche that is rated and the average rating of that tranche across all rated transactions.

    AIGFP analyzes the information regarding the performance and credit quality of the underlying pools of assets to make its own risk assessment and to determine any changes in credit quality with respect to such pools of assets. This analysis includes a review of changes in pool balances, subordination levels, delinquencies, realized losses, and expected performance under more adverse credit conditions. Using data provided by the Report Providers, and information available from rating agencies, governments, and other public sources that relate to macroeconomic trends and loan performance, AIGFP is able to analyze the expected performance of the overall portfolio because of the large number of loans that comprise the collateral pools.

    Given the current performance of the underlying portfolios, the level of subordination and AIGFP's own assessment of the credit quality, as well as the risk mitigants inherent in the transaction structures, AIGFP does not expect that it will be required to make payments pursuant to the contractual terms of those transactions providing regulatory relief. Further, AIGFP expects that counterparties will continue to terminate these transactions prior to their maturity.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, in connection with the exercise of the maturity-shortening puts that allow the holders of the securities issued by certain CDOs to treat the securities as short-term 2a-7 eligible investments under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (2a-7 Puts) by counterparties, AIGFP acquired the underlying CDO securities. In certain cases, simultaneously with the exercise of the 2a-7 Puts by AIGFP's counterparties, AIGFP accessed financing arrangements previously entered into with such counterparties, pursuant to which the counterparties remained the legal owners of the underlying CDO securities. However, these securities were reported as part of the Capital Markets investment portfolio as required by generally accepted accounting principles. Most of these underlying CDO securities were later acquired by ML III from' AIGFP's counterparties. In a separate case, AIGFP extinguished its obligations with respect to one CDS by purchasing the protected CDO security.

    In a number of instances, the level of subordination with respect to individual CDOs has increased since inception relative to the overall size of the CDO. While the super senior tranches are amortizing, subordinate layers have not been reduced by realized losses to date. Such losses are expected to emerge in the future. At inception, substantially all of the underlying assets were rated B-/B3 or higher and in most cases at least BBB or Baa. Thus, the percentage of gross notional amount rated less than B-/B3 represents deterioration in the credit quality of the underlying assets.

Corporate Debt/CLOs

    The corporate arbitrage portfolio consists principally of CDS written on portfolios of corporate obligations that were generally rated investment grade at the inception of the CDS. These CDS transactions require cash settlement. This portfolio also includes CDS with a net notional amount of $1.5 billion written on the senior part of the capital structure of CLOs, which require physical settlement.

    The following table summarizes gross transaction notional amount of CDS transactions written on portfolios of corporate obligations, percentage of the total referenced portfolios, and ratings by industry sector, in addition to the subordinations below the super senior risk layer, AIGFP's net notional amounts and fair value of derivative liability:

Collateral

    Most of the Capital Markets credit default swaps are subject to collateral posting provisions. These provisions differ among counterparties and asset classes. Although AIGFP has collateral posting obligations associated with both regulatory capital relief transactions and arbitrage transactions, the large majority of these obligations to date have been associated with arbitrage transactions in respect of multi-sector CDOs.

Regulatory Capital Relief Transactions

    As of September 30, 2010, 55.2 percent of the Capital Markets regulatory capital relief transactions (measured by net notional amount) were subject to Credit Support Annexes (CSA) linked to AIG's credit rating and 44.8 percent of the regulatory capital relief transactions were not subject to collateral posting provisions. In general, each regulatory capital relief transaction is subject to a stand-alone International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) Master Agreement (Master Agreement) or similar agreement, under which the aggregate Exposure is calculated with reference to only a single transaction.

    The underlying mechanism that determines the amount of collateral to be posted varies by counterparty, and there is no standard formula. The varied mechanisms resulted from individual negotiations with different counterparties. The following is a brief description of the primary mechanisms that are currently being employed to determine the amount of collateral posting for this portfolio.

Arbitrage Portfolio — Multi-Sector CDOs

    In the CDS transactions, with physical settlement provisions, in respect of multi-sector CDOs, the standard CSA provisions for the calculation of Exposure have been modified, with the Exposure amount determined pursuant to an agreed formula that is based on the difference between the net notional amount of such transaction and the market value of the relevant underlying CDO security, rather than the replacement value of the transaction. As of any date, the "market value" of the relevant CDO security is the price at which a marketplace participant would be willing to purchase such CDO security in a market transaction on such date, while the "replacement value of the transaction" is the cost on such date of entering into a credit default swap transaction with substantially the same terms on the same referenced obligation (e.g., the CDO security). In cases where a formula is utilized, a transaction-specific threshold is generally factored into the calculation of Exposure, which reduces the amount of collateral required to be posted. These thresholds typically vary based on the credit ratings of AIG and/or the reference obligations, with greater posting obligations arising in the context of lower ratings. For the large majority of counterparties to these transactions, the Master Agreement and CSA cover non-CDS transactions (e.g., interest rate and cross currency swap transactions) as well as CDS transactions. As a result, the amount of collateral to be posted by AIGFP in relation to the CDS transactions will be added to or offset by the amount, if any, of the Exposure AIG has to the counterparty on the non-CDS transactions.

Arbitrage Portfolio — Corporate Debt/CLOs

    All of the Capital Markets corporate arbitrage transactions are subject to CSAs. None of these transactions (measured by net notional amount) contains a special collateral posting provision, but each is subject to a Master Agreement that includes a CSA. These transactions are treated the same as other transactions subject to the same Master Agreement and CSA, with the calculation of collateral in accordance with the standard CSA procedures outlined above. None of these transactions, although subject to a Master Agreement and CSA, has specific valuation and threshold provisions.

Collateral Calls

    AIGFP has received collateral calls from counterparties in respect of certain super senior credit default swaps, of which a large majority relate to multi-sector CDOs. To a lesser extent, AIGFP has also received collateral calls in respect of certain super senior credit default swaps entered into by counterparties for regulatory capital relief purposes and in respect of corporate arbitrage.

    From time to time, valuation methodologies used and estimates made by counterparties with respect to certain super senior credit default swaps or the underlying reference CDO securities, for purposes of determining the amount of collateral required to be posted by AIGFP in connection with such instruments, have resulted in estimates that differ, at times significantly, from AIGFP's estimates. In almost all cases, AIGFP has been able to successfully resolve the differences or otherwise reach an accommodation with respect to collateral posting levels,

192


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries


including in certain cases by entering into compromise collateral arrangements. Due to the ongoing nature of collateral arrangements, AIGFP regularly is engaged in discussions with one or more counterparties in respect of these differences, including at the present time. Valuation estimates made by counterparties for collateral purposes are, like any other third-party valuation, considered in the determination of the fair value estimates of the Capital Markets super senior credit default swap portfolio.

The following table presents the amount of collateral postings with respect to the Capital Markets super senior credit default swap portfolio (prior to offsets for other transactions) as of the periods ended:

Total

  $ 4,590   $ 3,936   $ 3,774  
   

    The amount of future collateral posting requirements generally is a function of AIG's credit ratings, the rating of the reference obligations and any further decline in the market value of the relevant reference obligations, with the latter being the most significant factor. While a high level of correlation exists between the amount of collateral posted and the valuation of these contracts in respect of the arbitrage portfolio, a similar relationship does not exist with respect to the regulatory capital portfolio given the nature of how the amount of collateral for these transactions is determined. Given the severe market disruption, lack of observable data and the uncertainty regarding the potential effects on market prices of measures recently undertaken by the federal government to address the credit market disruption, AIGFP is unable to reasonably estimate the amounts of collateral that it may be required to post in the future.

Valuation Sensitivity — Arbitrage Portfolio

Multi-Sector CDOs

    AIG utilizes sensitivity analyses that estimate the effects of using alternative pricing and other key inputs on AIG's calculation of the unrealized market valuation loss related to the Capital Markets super senior credit default swap portfolio. While AIG believes that the ranges used in these analyses are reasonable, given the current difficult market conditions, AIG is unable to predict which of the scenarios is most likely to occur. As recent experience demonstrates, actual results in any period are likely to vary, perhaps materially, from the modeled scenarios, and there can be no assurance that the unrealized market valuation loss related to the Capital Markets super senior credit default swap portfolio will be consistent with any of the sensitivity analyses. On average, prices for CDOs increased 0.90 percent, 1.61 percent and 1.45 percent of the notional amount outstanding for the first, second and third quarters of 2010. Further, it is difficult to extrapolate future experience based on current market conditions.

    For the purposes of estimating sensitivities for the super senior multi-sector CDO credit default swap portfolio, the change in valuation derived using the BET model is used to estimate the change in the fair value of the derivative liability. Out of the total $6.9 billion net notional amount of CDS written on multi-sector CDOs outstanding at September 30, 2010, a BET value is available for $4.2 billion net notional amount. No BET value is determined for $2.7 billion of CDS written on European multi-sector CDOs as prices on the underlying securities held by the CDOs are not provided by collateral managers; instead these CDS are valued using counterparty prices. Therefore, sensitivities disclosed below apply only to the net notional amount of $4.2 billion.

    The most significant assumption used in the BET model is the estimated price of the securities within the CDO collateral pools. If the actual price of the securities within the collateral pools differs from the price used in estimating the fair value of the super senior credit default swap portfolio, there is potential for material variation in the fair value estimate. Any further declines in the value of the underlying collateral securities held by a CDO will similarly affect the value of the super senior CDO securities. While the models attempt to predict changes in the prices of underlying collateral securities held within a CDO, the changes are subject to actual market

conditions which have proved to be highly volatile, especially given current market conditions. AIG cannot predict reasonably likely changes in the prices of the underlying collateral securities held within a CDO at this time.

    These results are calculated by stressing a particular assumption independently of changes in any other assumption. No assurance can be given that the actual levels of the indices and maturity will not exceed, perhaps significantly, the ranges assumed by AIGFP for purposes of the above analysis. No assumption should be made that results calculated from the use of other changes in these indices and maturity can be interpolated or extrapolated from the results set forth above.

    Other derivatives.    Valuation models that incorporate unobservable inputs initially are calibrated to the transaction price. Subsequent valuations are based on observable inputs to the valuation model (e.g., interest rates, credit spreads, volatilities, etc.). Model inputs are changed only when corroborated by observable market data.

Investment Strategy

    AIG's investment strategies are tailored to the specific business needs of each operating unit. The investment objectives are driven by the business model for each of the businesses: General Insurance, life insurance, retirement services and the Direct Investment business. The primary objectives are generation of investment income, preservation of capital, liquidity management and growth of surplus to support the insurance products.

    At the local operating unit level, investment strategies are based on considerations that include the local market, liability duration and cash flow characteristics, rating agency and regulatory capital considerations, legal investment limitations, tax optimization and diversification.

    The majority of assets backing insurance liabilities at AIG consist of intermediate and long duration fixed maturity securities. In the case of life insurance & retirement services companies, as well as in the Direct Investment business, the fundamental investment strategy is, as nearly as is practicable, to match the duration characteristics of the liabilities with comparable duration assets. Fixed maturity securities held by the insurance companies included in the Commercial Insurance Group historically have consisted primarily of laddered holdings of tax-exempt municipal bonds, which provided attractive after-tax returns and limited credit risk. In order to meet the Commercial Insurance Group's current risk/return and tax objectives, the domestic property and casualty companies have begun to shift investment allocations away from tax exempt municipal bonds towards taxable instruments which meet the companies' liquidity, duration and quality objectives as well as current risk-return and tax objectives. Fixed maturity securities held by Foreign General Insurance companies consist primarily of intermediate duration high grade securities.

    The market price of fixed maturity securities reflects numerous components, including interest rate environment, credit spread, embedded optionality (such as call features), liquidity, structural complexity, foreign exchange risk, and other credit and non-credit factors. However, in most circumstances, pricing is most sensitive to interest rates, such that the market price declines as interest rates rise, and increases as interest rates fall. This effect is more pronounced for longer duration securities.

    AIG accounts for the vast majority of the invested assets held by its insurance companies at fair value. However, with limited exceptions (primarily with respect to separate account products on AIG's Consolidated Balance Sheet), AIG does not fair value its insurance liabilities for changes in interest rates, even though rising interest rates have the effect of reducing the fair value of such liabilities, and falling interest rates have the opposite effect. This results in the recording of changes in unrealized gains (losses) on securities in Accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from changes in interest rates without any correlative, inverse changes in gains (losses) on AIG's liabilities. Because AIG's asset duration in certain low-yield currencies, particularly Japan and Taiwan, is shorter than its liability duration, AIG views increasing interest rates in these countries as economically advantageous, notwithstanding the effect that higher rates have on the market value of its fixed maturity portfolio.

    At September 30, 2010, approximately 73 percent of the fixed maturity securities were in domestic entities. Approximately 29 percent of such securities were rated AAA by one or more of the principal rating agencies. Approximately 11 percent were below investment grade or not rated. AIG's investment decision process relies primarily on internally generated fundamental analysis and internal risk ratings. Third-party rating services' ratings and opinions provide one source of independent perspectives for consideration in the internal analysis.

    A significant portion of the foreign fixed maturity portfolio is rated by Moody's, S&P or similar foreign rating services. Rating services are not available in all overseas locations. AIG's Credit Risk Committee closely reviews the credit quality of the foreign portfolio's non-rated fixed maturity securities. At September 30, 2010, approximately 13 percent of the foreign fixed income investments were either rated AAA or, on the basis of AIG's internal analysis, were equivalent from a credit standpoint to securities so rated. Approximately 8 percent were below investment grade or not rated at that date. Approximately 44 percent of the foreign fixed maturity portfolio is sovereign fixed maturity securities supporting policy liabilities in the country of issuance.

    There have been disruptions in the CMBS market due to weakness in underlying commercial real estate fundamentals and the market's anticipation of increasing delinquencies and defaults. Although the market value has improved and CMBS spreads have tightened during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, the market value of the holdings continues to be below amortized cost. The majority of AIG's investments in CMBS are in tranches that contain substantial protection features through collateral subordination. As indicated in the tables, downgrades have occurred on many CMBS holdings. The majority of CMBS holdings are traditional conduit transactions, broadly diversified across property types and geographical areas.

Includes other-than-temporary impairment charges on partnership investments and direct private equity investments.

    AIG has recognized the other-than-temporary impairment charges (severity losses) shown above in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. With the adoption of the new other-than-temporary impairments accounting standard on April 1, 2009, such severity loss charges subsequent to that date exclusively related to equity securities and other invested assets. In all prior periods, such charges primarily related to mortgage-backed, asset-backed and collateralized securities, corporate debt securities of financial institutions and other equity securities. Notwithstanding AIG's intent and ability to hold such securities until they had recovered their cost or amortized cost basis, and despite structures that indicated, at the time, that

208


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries


a substantial amount of the securities should have continued to perform in accordance with original terms, AIG concluded, at the time, that it could not reasonably assert that the impairment would be temporary.

    Determinations of other-than-temporary impairments are based on fundamental credit analyses of individual securities without regard to rating agency ratings. Based on this analysis, AIG expects to receive cash flows sufficient to cover the amortized cost of all below investment grade securities for which credit losses were not recognized.

    In addition to the above severity losses, AIG recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 related to:

    During the third quarter of 2010, AIG recognized $340 million in other than temporary impairment charges, primarily due to changes in intent to sell certain mortgage-backed securities.

    With respect to the issuer-specific credit events shown above, no other-than-temporary impairment charge with respect to any one single credit was significant to AIG's consolidated financial condition or results of operations, and no individual other-than-temporary impairment charge exceeded 0.10 percent and 0.20 percent of Total equity in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

    In periods subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment charge for available for sale fixed maturity securities that is not foreign exchange related, AIG generally prospectively accretes into earnings the difference between the new amortized cost and the expected undiscounted recovery value over the remaining expected holding period of the security. The amounts of accretion recognized in earnings were $94 million and $54 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $315 million and $519 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For a discussion of AIG's other-than-temporary impairment accounting policy, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

    For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, net unrealized gains related to fixed maturity and equity securities increased by $18.3 billion reflecting an increase in fair value primarily due to the narrowing of credit spreads.

    As of September 30, 2010, the majority of AIG's fixed maturity investments in an unrealized loss position of more than 50 percent for more than 12 months, comprising the unrealized loss of $1.5 billion related to CMBS and RMBS securities originally rated investment grade that are floating rate or that have low fixed coupons relative to current market yields. A total of 119 securities with an amortized cost of $1.1 billion and a net unrealized loss of $746 million, are still investment grade. As part of its credit evaluation procedures applied to these and other securities, AIG considers the nature of both the specific securities and the market conditions for those securities. Current market spreads continue to be significantly wider for securities supported by real estate related assets, compared to spreads at the securities' respective purchase dates, largely due to the continued effects of the recession and the economic and market uncertainties regarding future performance of commercial and residential real estate. In addition, declining LIBOR rates have made floating rate securities less attractive as a class.

    AIG believes that the lack of demand for commercial and residential real estate collateral-based securities, low contractual coupons and interest rate spreads, and the deterioration in the level of collateral support due to real estate market conditions are the primary reasons for these securities trading at significant price discounts. Based

210

on its analysis, and taking into account the level of subordination below these securities, AIG continues to believe that the expected cash flows from these securities will be sufficient to recover the amortized cost of its investment. AIG continues to monitor these positions for potential credit impairments that could result from further deterioration in commercial and residential real estate fundamentals.

    See also Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.


Regulation

    Directive 2002/87/EC (Directive) issued by the European Parliament provides that certain financial conglomerates with regulated entities in the European Union are subject to supplementary supervision. Pursuant to the Directive, the Commission Bancaire (the French banking regulator) was appointed as AIG's supervisory coordinator. From February 2007 until March 2010, with the approval of the Commission Bancaire, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) acted as AIG's equivalent supervisor, as permitted by the Directive in circumstances in which a financial conglomerate organized outside the European Union (such as AIG) has proposed to have one of its existing regulators recognized as its coordinator and such regulator's supervision is determined to be equivalent to that required by the Directive. Since March 2010, AIG has been in discussions with, and has provided information to the Commission Bancaire regarding the possibility of proposing another of AIG's existing regulators as its equivalent supervisor.

    On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank), which effects comprehensive changes to the regulation of financial services in the United States and will subject AIG to substantial additional federal regulation, was signed into law. Dodd-Frank is intended to enhance the safety and soundness of U.S. financial institutions and increase public confidence in them. Dodd-Frank directs existing and newly created government agencies and bodies to promulgate regulations implementing the law, a process anticipated to occur over the next few years. AIG cannot predict with any certainty the requirements of the regulations ultimately adopted or how or whether Dodd-Frank and such regulations will affect the financial markets generally; impact AIG's businesses, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition; or require AIG to raise additional capital or result in a downgrade of AIG's credit ratings.

    Key aspects identified to date of Dodd-Frank's potential impact on AIG include:

211

212


Table of Contents

    Dodd-Frank imposes various assessments on financial companies, including (as applicable to AIG) ex-post assessments to provide funds necessary to repay any borrowing and to cover the costs of any special resolution of a financial company conducted under Title II (although the regulatory authority would have to take account of the amounts paid by AIG into state guaranty funds). AIG cannot predict the potential effects the new legislation will have on its organizational structure, financial condition or results of operations. However, it is possible that such effect could be materially adverse.

    Foreign governmental actions in response to the recent financial crisis could subject AIG to substantial additional regulation.

    In addition to the adoption of Dodd-Frank in the United States, regulators and lawmakers around the world are actively reviewing the causes of the financial crisis and exploring steps to avoid similar problems in the future. In many respects, this work is being led by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), consisting of representatives of national financial authorities of the G20 nations. The G20 and the FSB have issued a series of papers and recommendations intended to produce significant changes in how financial companies, particularly companies that are members of large and complex financial groups, should be regulated. These proposals address such issues as financial group supervision, capital and solvency standards, systemic economic risk, corporate governance including executive compensation, and a host of related issues associated with responses to the financial crisis. The lawmakers and regulatory authorities in a number of jurisdictions in which AIG's subsidiaries conduct business have already begun introducing legislative and regulatory changes consistent with G20 and FSB recommendations, including proposals governing consolidated regulation of insurance holdings companies by the Financial Services Agency (FSA) in Japan, proposals governing executive compensation by the financial regulators in Germany (BaFIN) and the United Kingdom (FSA), and proposals to permit U.S.-style class action litigation in the United Kingdom with respect to financial services claims.

    AIG cannot predict whether these actions will become effective or the effect they may have on the financial markets or on AIG's business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and credit ratings.

    The disclosure in this section includes risk exposures to AIA, ALICO, AGF, AIG Star, AIG Edison and Nan Shan, because the sales of these companies had not yet been concluded as of September 30, 2010. Subsequent to these dispositions, AIG's consolidated exposures, including credit, interest rates, equities and currencies, will be reduced significantly.

Reflects AIG's internal risk ratings.

(b)
Five of the ten largest credit exposures are to financial institutions and five are to investment-grade rated sovereigns. Based on support from the US Government, the exposure to government-sponsored entities (GSEs) and to mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by the GSEs is included in the US Government total, rather than in financial institutions. None of the top ten is rated lower than BBB- or its equivalent.

(c)
Exposure to the ten largest combined as a percentage of Total equity was 102.8 percent at December 31, 2009.

    AIG monitors its aggregate cross-border exposures by country and regional group of countries. AIG includes in its cross-border exposures both aggregated cross-border credit exposures to unrelated third parties and its cross-border investments in its own international subsidiaries. Nine countries have cross-border exposures in excess of 10 percent of Total equity at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Based on AIG's internal risk ratings, as of September 30, 2010, six countries were rated AAA and three were rated AA. The two largest cross-border exposures are to Bermuda and the United Kingdom.

    In addition, AIG reviews and manages its industry concentrations. AIG's single largest industry credit exposure is to the global financial institutions sector, which includes banks and finance companies, securities firms and insurance and reinsurance companies.

Exposure to Money Center/Global Bank Groups as a percentage of Total equity was 83.9 percent at December 31, 2009.

    AIG's exposure to its five largest money center/global bank group institutions was 32.0 percent of Total equity at September 30, 2010 compared to 33.5 percent of Total equity at December 31, 2009.

    AIG also has a risk concentration through the investment portfolios of its insurance companies in the U.S. municipal sector. AIG holds approximately $46.7 billion of tax-exempt and taxable securities, $6.0 billion of which are defeased, issued by a wide number of municipal authorities across the U.S. and its territories. A majority of these securities are held in available-for-sale portfolios of AIG's domestic property-casualty insurance companies. These securities are comprised of the general obligations of states and local governments, revenue bonds issued by these same governments and bonds issued by transportation authorities, universities, state housing finance agencies and hospital systems. The average credit quality of these issuers is A.

    Currently, several states, local governments and other issuers are facing pressures on their budgets from the effects of the recession and have had to cut spending and draw on reserve funds. Consequently, several municipal issuers in AIG's portfolios have been downgraded one or more notches by the major nationally recognized statistical rating agencies. The most notable of these issuers is the State of California, of which AIG holds approximately $770.8 million of general obligation bonds, $44.9 million of which are defeased. Nevertheless, despite the budget pressures facing the sector, AIG does not expect any significant defaults in portfolio holdings of municipal issuers over the near term.

    AIG has credit exposure to several sovereign governments whose ratings have been downgraded or placed on review in recent months by one or more major rating agencies. The downgrades primarily reflect large government budget deficits and rising government debt to GDP ratios. As of September 30, 2010, AIG had exposure of $1.0 billion to the government of Greece, which has been downgraded to below investment grade by two major rating agencies. At September 30, 2010, AIG's exposure to certain other European governments, such as Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Spain and Hungary, amounted to $2.1 billion. Four of these five governments have experienced rating downgrades during the first nine months of 2010.

    With the closing of the ALICO sale on November 1, 2010, the exposure to the government of Greece was reduced to zero. With the closing of the ALICO sale and the public offering and related deconsolidation of AIA on October 29, 2010, AIG's exposure to the other European governments referred to above was reduced to $927 million.

    The Credit Risk Committee (CRC) reviews quarterly concentration reports in all categories listed above as well as credit trends by risk ratings. The CRC may and does adjust limits to provide reasonable assurance that AIG does not incur excessive levels of credit risk and that AIG's credit risk profile is properly calibrated across business units.

    Included in Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

ITEM 4.    Controls and Procedures

    In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by AIG's management, with the participation of AIG's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of AIG's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on that evaluation, AIG's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, AIG's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There has been no change in AIG's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, AIG's internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.    Legal Proceedings

    Included in Note 9(a) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 1A.    Risk Factors

Execution of Recapitalization

The execution of the Recapitalization is subject to various risks and uncertainties.

    The Recapitalization Agreement in Principle entered into by AIG, the Department of the Treasury, the FRBNY and the Trust contemplates the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements relating to a number of transactions involving multiple parties. No assurance can be given that AIG, the FRBNY, the Department of the Treasury and the Trust will be able to agree on definitive documentation or that the transactions set forth in the definitive documentation will be substantially the same as those contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement in Principle.

    Even if definitive documentation is executed, numerous factors, many of which are outside of AIG's control, could impair its ability to implement or complete the Recapitalization. In particular, AIG's ability to effect the Recapitalization will be subject to a number of conditions, including regulatory approvals, third-party approvals and satisfactory rating profiles from rating agencies. The Recapitalization could be adversely affected by, among other things:

    No assurance can be given that AIG will be able to meet the conditions to the completion of the Recapitalization or to otherwise successfully implement the Recapitalization.

    The complexity of executing the Recapitalization, combined with the challenges of operating its businesses in the current environment, could place further stress on AIG's internal controls, increase its costs and divert the attention of its management and employees from their normal duties, all of which may adversely affect AIG's business, both in terms of operations and ability to focus on and retain customers.

    If AIG is not able to complete the Recapitalization, it is unclear how AIG's businesses, operations and liquidity will be affected. A failure to complete the Recapitalization could result in, among other things, a reduced level of support from the U.S. government, ratings downgrades and a loss in confidence in AIG by customers. As a result, a failure to complete the Recapitalization could have a material adverse effect on AIG's businesses, operations and liquidity.

    AIG and its subsidiaries are also parties to various contracts and other agreements that may be affected by a change of control of AIG.
