1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

    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 Annual Report on Form 10-K of American International Group, Inc. (AIG) for the year ended December 31, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A filed on February 27, 2012 and March 30, 2012, respectively (collectively, the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K). The condensed consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2011 included herein has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements not included herein.

    Certain of AIG's foreign subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements report on different fiscal-period bases. The effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition and results of operations of all material events occurring at these subsidiaries through the date of each of the periods presented in these financial statements has been recorded.

    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 recognize or disclose events that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2012 and prior to the issuance of AIG's financial statements. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.


REVISIONS TO PRIOR YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, AIG retroactively adopted a standard that changed its method of accounting for costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. See Note 2 herein for additional details, including a summary of revisions to prior year financial statements.


USE OF ESTIMATES

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

estimates with respect to income taxes, including the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the predictability of future tax planning strategies and operating profitability of the character necessary for their realization;

recoverability of assets, including deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC), flight equipment, and reinsurance;

insurance liabilities, including general insurance unpaid claims and claims adjustment expenses and future policy benefits for life and accident and health contracts;

estimated gross profits for investment-oriented products;

impairment charges, including other-than-temporary impairments on financial instruments and goodwill impairments;

liabilities for legal contingencies; and

fair value measurements of certain financial assets and liabilities, including credit default swaps (CDS) and AIG's equity interest in Maiden Lane III LLC (ML III).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

    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 could be materially affected.


SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

    During the three months ended March 31, 2012, AIG executed significant transactions in the debt and equity capital markets as described below.

March 2012 Common Stock Offering by the Department of the Treasury and AIG Purchase of Shares

    On March 13, 2012, the United States Department of the Treasury (Department of the Treasury), as selling shareholder, completed a registered public offering (the Offering) of AIG Common Stock, par value $2.50 per share (AIG Common Stock), in which it sold approximately 207 million shares of AIG Common Stock for aggregate proceeds of approximately $6.0 billion. AIG purchased approximately 103 million shares of AIG Common Stock in the Offering for an aggregate purchase amount of approximately $3.0 billion. As a result of the Department of the Treasury's sale of AIG Common Stock and AIG's purchase of shares in the Offering, ownership by the Department of the Treasury was reduced from approximately 77 percent to approximately 70 percent of the AIG Common Stock outstanding after the completion of the Offering.

Sale of AIA Shares

    On March 7, 2012, AIG sold approximately 1.72 billion ordinary shares of AIA Group Limited (AIA) for gross proceeds of approximately $6.0 billion (the AIA Sale). As a result of the AIA Sale, AIG's retained interest in AIA decreased from approximately 33 percent to approximately 19 percent. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of AIG's retained interest in AIA was approximately $8.2 billion and $12.4 billion, respectively.

Senior Notes Offering

    On March 22, 2012, AIG completed a registered offering of $750 million 3.000% Notes Due 2015 and $1.25 billion 3.800% Notes Due 2017 for the Matched Investment Program (MIP).

ILFC Debt Offerings

    In the first quarter of 2012, International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) raised approximately $2.4 billion through a combination of secured and unsecured financings.

Pay Down of Department of the Treasury's AIA SPV Preferred Interests in Full

    On March 7, 2012, AIG entered into an agreement with the Department of the Treasury to amend various agreements (the Amendment), whereby the special purpose vehicle that held AIG's remaining shares in AIA (the AIA SPV) was entitled to retain and distribute to AIG the net proceeds in excess of $5.6 billion received by the AIA SPV from the AIA Sale. In addition, the liens created by the agreements on (i) the equity interests in ILFC, (ii) the ordinary shares of AIA held by the AIA SPV subsequent to the closing of the AIA Sale and (iii) the common equity interests in the AIA SPV were released and such interests and AIA ordinary shares no longer constituted collateral securing the repayment of the liquidation preference of the Department of the Treasury's preferred interests in the AIA SPV (the AIA SPV Preferred Interests). The Amendment also required the AIA SPV and AM Holdings LLC (the ALICO SPV) to redeem their preferred participating return rights held by the Department of the Treasury before the release of the collateral. AIG contributed a portion of the net proceeds received by AIG in respect of its interest in Maiden Lane II LLC (ML II) to redeem these residual rights.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

    AIG adopted the following accounting standards on January 1, 2012:

Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts

    In October 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 standard clarifies how to determine whether the costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify as deferred policy acquisition costs. AIG adopted the standard retrospectively on January 1, 2012.

    Policy acquisition costs represent those costs that are incremental and directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts. AIG defers incremental costs that result directly from, and are essential to, the acquisition or renewal of an insurance contract. Such costs generally include agent or broker commissions and bonuses, premium taxes, and medical and inspection fees that would not have been incurred if the insurance contract had not been acquired or renewed. Each cost is analyzed to assess whether it is fully deferrable. AIG partially defers costs, including certain commissions, when it does not believe the entire cost is directly related to the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts.

    AIG also defers a portion of employee total compensation and payroll-related fringe benefits directly related to time spent performing specific acquisition or renewal activities including costs associated with the time spent on underwriting, policy issuance and processing, and sales force contract selling. The amounts deferred are derived based on successful efforts for each distribution channel and/or cost center from which the cost originates.

    Advertising costs related to the issuance of insurance contracts that meet the direct-advertising criteria are deferred and amortized as part of deferred policy acquisition costs.

    The method AIG uses to amortize deferred policy acquisition costs for either short- or long-duration insurance contracts did not change as a result of the adoption of the standard.

    The adoption of the standard resulted in a reduction to beginning of period retained earnings for the earliest period presented and a decrease in the amount of capitalized costs in connection with the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts. Accordingly, AIG revised its historical financial statements and accompanying notes to the financial statements for the changes in deferred policy acquisition costs and associated changes in acquisition expenses and income taxes for affected entities and segments, including divested entities presented in continuing and discontinued operations.

The following tables present amounts previously reported in 2011, the effect of the change due to the retrospective adoption of the standard, and the adjusted amounts that are reflected in AIG's consolidated financial statements.

    (585 )   (26 )   (611 )

Total adjustments

    (5,362 )   (96 )   (5,458 )
   

    For short-duration insurance contracts, starting in 2012, AIG has elected to include anticipated investment income in its determination of whether the deferred policy acquisition costs are recoverable. AIG believes the inclusion of anticipated investment income in the recoverability analysis is a preferable accounting policy, as it includes in the recoverability analysis the fact that there is a timing difference between when the premiums are collected and in turn invested and when the losses and related expenses are paid. This is considered a change in accounting principle that requires retrospective application to all periods presented. Because AIG historically has not recorded any premium deficiency on its short-duration insurance contracts even without the inclusion of anticipated investment income, there were no changes to the historical financial statements for the change in accounting principle.

Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements

    In April 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amends the criteria used to determine effective control for repurchase agreements and other similar arrangements such as securities lending transactions. The standard modifies the criteria for determining when these transactions would be accounted for as secured borrowings (i.e., financings) instead of sales of the securities.

    The standard removes from the assessment of effective control the requirement that the transferor have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee. The removal of this requirement makes the level of collateral received by the transferor in a repurchase agreement or similar arrangement irrelevant in determining whether the transaction should be accounted for as a sale. Consequently, more repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and similar arrangements will be accounted for as secured borrowings.

    The guidance in the standard must be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after January 1, 2012. Under this standard, $1.2 billion in repurchase agreements (related to securities with a fair value of $1.8 billion) continued to be accounted for as sales as of March 31, 2012. Any modifications to these transactions that occur subsequent to adoption will result in an assessment of whether they should be accounted for as secured borrowings under the standard.

Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in GAAP and IFRS

    In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amended certain aspects of the fair value measurement guidance in GAAP, primarily to achieve the FASB's objective of a converged definition of fair value and substantially converged measurement and disclosure guidance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The measurement and disclosure requirements under GAAP and IFRS are now generally consistent, with certain exceptions including the accounting for day one gains and losses, measuring the fair value of alternative investments using net asset value and certain disclosure requirements.

    The standard's fair value measurement and disclosure guidance applies to all companies that measure assets, liabilities, or instruments classified in shareholders' equity at fair value or provide fair value disclosures for items not recorded at fair value. While many of the amendments are not expected to significantly affect current practice, the guidance clarifies how a principal market is determined, addresses the fair value measurement of financial instruments with offsetting market or counterparty credit risks and the concept of valuation premise (i.e., in use or in exchange) and highest and best use, extends the prohibition on blockage factors to all three levels of the fair value hierarchy, and requires additional disclosures. The standard is effective for AIG for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2012. The new disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively. The standard did not have any effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 4 herein.

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

    In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard that requires the presentation of comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components, followed consecutively by a second statement that presents total other comprehensive income and its components. The standard did not have any effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Testing Goodwill for Impairment

    In September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amends the approach to testing goodwill for impairment. The standard simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative, two-step goodwill impairment test. The standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the standard did not affect AIG's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

    AIG reports the results of its operations through three reportable segments: Chartis, SunAmerica Financial Group (SunAmerica) and Aircraft Leasing. AIG evaluates performance based on pre-tax income (loss), excluding results from discontinued operations, because AIG believes this provides more meaningful information on how its operations are performing.

    In order to align financial reporting with changes made during 2012 to the manner in which AIG's chief operating decision makers review the Chartis businesses to assess performance and make decisions about resources to be allocated, certain products previously reported in Commercial Insurance were reclassified to Consumer Insurance. These revisions did not affect the total Chartis reportable segment results previously reported.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ON A RECURRING BASIS

    AIG carries certain of its financial instruments at fair value. AIG defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of AIG's accounting policies and procedures regarding fair value measurements related to the following information.

    Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy established in U.S. GAAP. The hierarchy consists of three "levels" based on the observability of inputs available in the marketplace used to measure the fair values as discussed below:

Level 1:  Fair value measurements that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that AIG has the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:  Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3:  Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Therefore, AIG must make certain assumptions as to the inputs a hypothetical market participant would use to value that asset or liability.

    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 March 31, 2012 and 2011 may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable inputs (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities).

Transfers of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities

    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 excludes $58 million of net losses related to assets and liabilities transferred into Level 3 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, and includes $27 million of net gains related to assets and liabilities transferred out of Level 3 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012.

Transfers of Level 3 Assets

    During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, transfers into Level 3 included certain residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), asset-backed securities (ABS), private placement corporate debt and certain private equity funds and hedge funds. Transfers into Level 3 for certain RMBS and certain ABS were related to decreased observations of market transactions and price information for those securities. The transfers into Level 3 of investments in certain other RMBS 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 and certain other ABS were primarily the result of limited market pricing information that required AIG to determine fair value for these securities based on inputs that are adjusted to better reflect AIG's own assumptions regarding the characteristics of a specific security or associated market liquidity. Certain private equity fund and hedge fund investments were transferred into Level 3 due to these investments being carried at fair value and no longer being accounted for using the equity method of accounting, consistent with the changes to AIG's ownership and lack of ability to exercise significant influence over the respective investments. Other hedge fund investments were transferred into Level 3 as a result of 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 a long-term interest rate significant to a valuation becoming short-term and thus observable. In addition, transfers out of Level 3 also occur when investments are no longer carried at fair value as the result of a change in the applicable accounting methodology, given changes in the nature and extent of AIG's ownership interest. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, transfers out of Level 3 primarily related to investments in private placement corporate debt and certain private equity funds and hedge funds. Transfers out of Level 3 for private placement corporate debt were primarily the result of AIG using observable pricing information 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. Certain private equity funds and hedge funds were transferred out of Level 3, substantially all attributable to the hedge funds no longer being subject to fund-imposed redemption restrictions.

Transfers of Level 3 Liabilities

    As AIG presents carrying values of its derivative positions on a net basis in the table above, transfers into Level 3 liabilities, which totaled approximately $83 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, primarily related to certain derivative assets transferred out of Level 3 because of the presence of observable inputs on certain forward commitments. Other transfers into Level 3 liabilities were due to movement in market variables. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, there were no significant transfers out of Level 3 liabilities.

    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.

The unobservable inputs and ranges for the constant prepayment rate, loss severity and constant default rate relate to each of the individual underlying mortgage loans that comprise the entire portfolio of securities in the RMBS and CDO securitization vehicles and not necessarily to the securitization vehicle bonds (tranches) purchased by AIG. The ranges of these inputs do not directly correlate to changes in the fair values of the tranches purchased by AIG because there are other factors relevant to the specific tranches owned by AIG including, but not limited to, purchase price, position in the waterfall, senior versus subordinated position and attachment points.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

preceding table does not give effect to AIG's risk management practices that might offset risks inherent in these investments.

Sensitivity to Changes in Unobservable Inputs

    AIG considers unobservable inputs to be those for which market data is not available and that are developed using the best information available to AIG about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Relevant inputs vary depending on the nature of the instrument being measured at fair value. The effect of a change in a particular assumption in the sensitivity analysis below is considered independently of changes in any other assumptions. In practice, simultaneous changes in assumptions may not always have a linear effect on the inputs discussed above.

Corporate Debt

    Corporate debt securities included in Level 3 are primarily private placement issuances that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions. Fair value measurements consider illiquidity and non-transferability. When observable price quotations are not available, fair value is determined based on discounted cash flow models using discount rates based on credit spreads, yields or price levels of publicly-traded debt of the issuer or other comparable securities, considering illiquidity and structure. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of corporate debt is the yield. The yield is affected by the market movements in credit spreads and U.S. Treasury yields. In addition, the migration in credit quality of a given security generally has a corresponding effect on the fair value measurement of the securities. For example, a downward migration of credit quality would increase spreads. Holding U.S. Treasury rates constant, an increase in corporate credit spreads would decrease the fair value of corporate debt.

RMBS and Certain CDO/ABS

    The significant unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements of residential mortgage backed securities and certain CDO/ABS valued by third-party valuation service providers are constant prepayment rates (CPR), constant default rates (CDR), and loss severity. Changes in any of the significant unobservable inputs may affect other inputs used in determining fair value. A change in the assumptions used for the probability of default will generally be accompanied by a corresponding change in the assumption used for the loss severity and an inverse change in the assumption used for prepayment rates. Changes in fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship between the directional change of each input is not usually linear.

CMBS

    The significant unobservable input used in fair value measurements for commercial mortgage backed securities is the yield. Prepayment assumptions for each mortgage pool are factored into the yield. CMBS generally feature a lower degree of prepayment risk than RMBS because commercial mortgages generally contain a penalty for prepayment. Increases in the yield would decrease the fair value of CMBS.

Maiden Lane III

    Since inception, AIG's interest in ML III has been valued using a discounted cash flow methodology that (i) uses the estimated future cash flows and the fair value of the ML III assets, (ii) allocates the estimated future cash flows according to the ML III waterfall, and (iii) determines the discount rate to be applied to AIG's interest in ML III by reference to the discount rate implied by the estimated value of ML III assets and the estimated future cash flows of AIG's interest in the capital structure. Estimated cash flows and discount rates used in the

AIG 2012 Form 10-Q            25


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

valuations are validated, to the extent possible, using market observable information for securities with similar asset pools, structure and terms.

    The fair value of AIG's interest in ML III is most affected by changes in the discount rates and changes in the estimated future collateral cash flows used in the valuation. In general, an increase in the discount rate will lead to a decrease in the value of the portfolio and vice versa. The changes, however, are asymmetrical with decreases in discount rates having a more pronounced effect on the value of the ML III portfolio. Changes in estimated future cash flows for ML III are the result of changes in interest rates and their effect on the underlying floating rate securities as well as expectations of defaults, recoveries and prepayments on underlying loans. Changes in estimated future cash flows have an almost symmetrical and almost linear effect on the value of ML III.

    Interest rates are generally indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). LIBOR interest rate curve changes are determined based on observable prices, interpolated or extrapolated to derive a LIBOR curve for a specific maturity term as necessary. The spreads over LIBOR used to value the ML III interests can change as a result of changes in market expectations about the future performance of this investment as well as changes in the risk premium that market participants would demand at the time of the transactions.

Changes in the discount rate or the estimated future cash flows used in the valuation would alter AIG's estimate of the fair value of AIG's interest in ML III as shown in the table below.

    AIG believes that the ranges of discount rates used in these analyses are reasonable on the basis of implied spread volatilities of similar collateral securities. The ranges of estimated future cash flows were determined on the basis of historical variability in the estimated cash flows. Therefore, the fair value of AIG's interest in ML III is likely to vary, perhaps materially, from the amounts estimated.

    On April 26, 2012, the FRBNY announced that it had sold $7.5 billion of certain assets of ML III pursuant to a competitive bid process that it conducted. If AIG had adopted a liquidation valuation methodology at March 31, 2012, the impact would have increased the fair value of AIG's interest in ML III by approximately $450 million.

    Because the announcement of the asset auction and the auction itself occurred after March 31, 2012, AIG believes a change in the fair value methodology used for its interest in ML III is not appropriate at March 31, 2012. Adjustments to the fair value of AIG's interest in ML III are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in Net investment income for AIG's Other operations.

CDO/ABS – Direct Investment book

    The significant unobservable inputs used for certain CDO/ABS securities valued using the BET are recovery rates, diversity score, and the weighted average life of the portfolio. An increase in recovery rates and diversity score will have a directionally similar corresponding impact on the fair value measurement of the portfolio. An increase in the weighted average life will decrease the fair value.

Policyholder contract deposits

    The significant unobservable inputs used for embedded derivatives in policyholder contract deposits measured at fair value, mainly guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (GMWB) for variable annuity products, are equity volatility, mortality rates, lapse rates and utilization rates. In general, increases in volatilities and utilization rates will increase the fair value, while increases in lapse rates and mortality rates will decrease the fair value of the liability associated with the GMWB.

Derivative liabilities – credit contracts

    The significant unobservable inputs used for Derivatives liabilities – credit contracts are recovery rates, diversity scores, and the weighted average life of the portfolio. AIG non-performance risk is also considered in the measurement of the liability. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of AIG's accounting policies and procedures regarding incorporation of AIG's own credit risk in fair value measurements.

    An increase in recovery rates and diversity score will decrease the fair value of the liability. An increase in the weighted average life will have a directionally similar corresponding effect on the fair value measurement of the liability.

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 to measure fair value.

    At March 31, 2012, 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, 44 percent of the total above had expected remaining lives of less than three years, 54 percent between three and seven years and 2 percent between seven 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 March 31, 2012, hedge fund investments included above are redeemable monthly (10 percent), quarterly (35 percent), semi-annually (25 percent) and annually (30 percent), with redemption notices ranging from 1 day to 180 days. More than 62 percent of these hedge fund investments require redemption notices of less than 90 days. Investments representing approximately 55 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 prior to 2009 and do not have stated end dates. The restrictions that have

pre-defined end dates are generally expected to be lifted by the end of 2015. The partial restrictions relate to certain hedge funds that hold at least one investment that the fund manager deems to be illiquid.

(b)
Excludes discontinued operation gains or losses on instruments that were required to be carried at fair value in 2011. For instruments required to be carried at fair value, AIG recognized gains of $0.6 billion and $1.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, 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.

    See Note 2(a) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information about AIG's policies for recognition, measurement, and disclosure of interest and dividend income and interest expense.

    During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, AIG recognized losses of $558 million and $41 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 cash collateral posted.

The following table presents the difference between fair values and the aggregate contractual principal amounts of mortgage and other loans receivable and long-term borrowings for which the fair value option was elected:

    At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no significant mortgage or other loans receivable for which the fair value option was elected that were 90 days or more past due and in non-accrual status.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

    At March 31, 2012, AIG held 5,061 and 248 individual fixed maturity and equity securities, respectively, that were in an unrealized loss position, of which 1,734 individual fixed maturity securities, were in a continuous unrealized loss position for longer than 12 months. AIG did not recognize the unrealized losses in earnings on these fixed maturity securities at March 31, 2012, 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.

Purchased Credit Impaired (PCI) Securities

    Beginning in the second quarter of 2011, AIG purchased certain RMBS securities that had experienced deterioration in credit quality since their issuance. Management determined, based on its expectations as to the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be received, that it was probable at acquisition that AIG would not collect all contractually required payments, including both principal and interest and considering the effects of prepayments, for these PCI securities. At acquisition, the timing and amount of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be received on each PCI security was determined based on management's best estimate using key assumptions, such as interest rates, default rates and prepayment speeds. At acquisition, the difference between the undiscounted expected future cash flows of the PCI securities and the recorded investment in the securities represents the initial accretable yield, which is to be accreted into net investment income over their remaining lives on a level-yield basis. Additionally, the difference between the contractually required payments on the PCI securities and the undiscounted expected future cash flows represents the non-accretable difference at acquisition. Over time, based on actual payments received and changes in estimates of undiscounted expected future cash flows, the accretable yield and the non-accretable difference can change, as discussed further below.

    On a quarterly basis, the undiscounted expected future cash flows associated with PCI securities are re-evaluated based on updates to key assumptions. Changes to undiscounted expected future cash flows due solely to the changes in the contractual benchmark interest rates on variable rate PCI securities will change the accretable yield prospectively. Declines in undiscounted expected future cash flows due to further credit deterioration as well as changes in the expected timing of the cash flows can result in the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment charge, as PCI securities are subject to AIG's policy for evaluating investments for other-than-temporary impairment. Significant increases in undiscounted expected future cash flows for reasons other than interest rate changes are recognized prospectively as an adjustment to the accretable yield.

PLEDGED INVESTMENTS

Secured Financing and Similar Arrangements

    AIG enters into financing transactions, whereby certain securities are transferred to financial institutions in exchange for cash or other liquid collateral. Securities transferred by AIG under these financing transactions may be sold or repledged by the counterparties. As collateral for the securities transferred by AIG, counterparties transfer assets, such as cash or high quality fixed maturity securities, and collateral levels are monitored daily and are generally maintained at an agreed-upon percentage of the fair value of the transferred securities during the life of the transactions. Where AIG receives fixed maturity securities as collateral, AIG does not have the right to sell or repledge this collateral unless an event of default occurs by the counterparties. At the termination of the transactions, AIG and its counterparties are obligated to return the collateral provided and the securities transferred, respectively. These transactions are treated as secured financing arrangements by AIG.

    Secured financing transactions also include securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements), in which AIG transfers securities in exchange for cash, with an agreement by AIG to repurchase the same or substantially similar securities. In the majority of these repurchase agreements, the securities transferred by AIG may be sold or repledged by the counterparties.

    Under the secured financing transactions described above, securities available for sale with a fair value of $4.4 billion and $2.3 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and trading securities with a fair value of $4.5 billion and $0.7 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, were pledged to counterparties.

    Prior to January 1, 2012, in the case of repurchase agreements where AIG did not obtain 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 accounted for the transaction as a sale of the security and reported the obligation to repurchase the security as a derivative contract. The fair value of securities transferred under repurchase agreements accounted for as sales was $1.8 billion and $2.1 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

    AIG also enters into agreements in which securities are purchased by AIG under agreements to resell (reverse repurchase agreements), which are accounted for as secured financing transactions and reported as short-term investments or other assets, depending on their terms. For these transactions, AIG takes possession of or obtains a security interest in the related securities, and AIG has the right to sell or repledge this collateral received. The fair value of securities collateral pledged to AIG was $7.4 billion and $6.8 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, of which $1.5 billion and $122 million was repledged by AIG.

Insurance – Statutory and Other Deposits

    Total carrying values of cash and securities deposited by AIG's insurance subsidiaries under requirements of regulatory authorities or other insurance-related arrangements, including certain annuity-related obligations and certain reinsurance agreements, were $9.0 billion and $9.8 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Other Pledges

    Certain AIG subsidiaries are members of Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs), and such membership requires the members to own stock in these FHLBs. AIG subsidiaries owned $86 million and $77 million of stock in FHLBs at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which will be pledged to the FHLBs to the extent the member borrows via advances from the FHLBs. In addition, AIG has pledged securities available for sale with a fair value of $88 million at March 31, 2012 associated with advances from the FHLBs.

    Generally, GIAs have provisions that require collateral to be posted by AIG upon a downgrade of AIG's long-term debt ratings or, at the election of AIG and as an alternative to posting collateral and subject to certain conditions, repayment by AIG of the transactions or the arrangement by AIG of a substitute guarantee of AIG's obligations by an obligor with higher long term debt ratings. The actual amount of collateral required to be posted to the counterparties in the event of such downgrades, and 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 and after the time of the downgrade. The fair value of trading securities pledged as collateral with respect to these obligations approximated $5.1 billion at both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. This collateral primarily consists of securities of U.S. government and government sponsored entities and generally cannot be repledged or resold by the counterparties.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

    Mortgage and other loans receivable are considered impaired when collection of all amounts due under contractual terms is not probable. For commercial mortgage loans in particular, the impairment is measured based on the fair value of underlying collateral, which is determined based on the present value of expected net future cash flows of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell. For other loans, the impairment may be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or based on the

38            AIG 2012 Form 10-Q

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

loan's observable market price, where available. An allowance is typically established for the difference between the impaired value of the loan and its current carrying amount. Additional allowance amounts are established for incurred but not specifically identified impairments, based on the analysis of internal risk ratings and current loan values. Internal risk ratings are assigned based on the consideration of risk factors including past due status, debt service coverage, loan-to-value ratio or the ratio of the loan balance to the estimated value of the property, property occupancy, profile of the borrower and of the major property tenants, economic trends in the market where the property is located, and condition of the property. These factors and the resulting risk ratings also provide a basis for determining the level of monitoring performed at both the individual loan and the portfolio level. When all or a portion of a commercial mortgage loan is deemed uncollectible, the uncollectible portion of the carrying value of the loan is charged off against the allowance.

    A significant majority of commercial mortgage loans in the portfolio are non-recourse loans and, accordingly, the only guarantees are for specific items that are exceptions to the non-recourse provisions. It is therefore extremely rare for AIG to have cause to enforce the provisions of a guarantee on a commercial real estate or mortgage loan.

Of the total, $60 million and $100 million relates to individually assessed credit losses on $442 million and $635 million of commercial mortgage loans as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

    As of March 31, 2012, there were no significant loans held by AIG that had been modified in a troubled debt restructuring during 2012.


7. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

    AIG enters into various arrangements with variable interest entities (VIEs) in the normal course of business. AIG's involvement with VIEs is primarily through its insurance companies as a passive investor in debt securities (rated and unrated) and equity interests issued by VIEs. When AIG holds both an economic interest and the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE, AIG is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and consolidates 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 $0.3 billion and $0.4 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

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.

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. AIG Financial Products Corp. and AIG Trading Group, Inc. and their respective subsidiaries (AIGFP) had also transacted in derivatives as a dealer and had acted as an intermediary between the relevant AIG subsidiary and the counterparty. AIG has mostly replaced AIGFP with AIG Markets, Inc. (AIG Markets) for purposes of acting as an intermediary between the AIG subsidiary and the external counterparty.

COLLATERAL

    AIG engages in derivative transactions directly with unaffiliated third parties in most cases under International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) agreements (ISDA Master Agreements). Many of the ISDA Master Agreements also include Credit Support Annex (CSA) provisions, which generally provide for collateral postings at various ratings and threshold levels.

    Collateral posted by AIG to third parties for derivative transactions was $4.4 billion and $4.7 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. This collateral can generally be repledged or resold by the counterparties. Collateral obtained by AIG from third parties for derivative transactions was $1.4 billion and $1.6 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. This collateral can generally be repledged or resold by AIG.


HEDGE ACCOUNTING

    AIG designated certain derivatives entered into by AIG Markets with third parties as cash flow hedges of certain debt issued by ILFC and designated certain derivatives entered into by AIG's insurance subsidiaries with third parties as fair value hedges of available-for-sale investment securities held by such subsidiaries. The fair value hedges include foreign currency forwards designated as hedges of the change in fair value of foreign currency denominated available-for-sale securities attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. With respect to the cash flow hedges, 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.

    AIG uses foreign currency denominated debt as hedging 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, AIG recognized losses of $91 million and $24 million, respectively, included in Foreign currency translation adjustment in Accumulated other comprehensive income related to the net investment hedge relationships.

    AIG does not utilize the shortcut method to assess hedge effectiveness. A qualitative methodology is utilized to assess hedge effectiveness for net investment hedges, while regression analysis is employed for all other hedges.

AIGFP DERIVATIVES

    AIGFP enters into derivative transactions to mitigate market 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 have been seeking to hedge certain aspects of such counterparties' operations or obtain a desired financial exposure.

    AIGFP follows a policy of minimizing interest rate, currency, commodity, and equity risks associated with investment securities by entering into offsetting positions, thereby offsetting a significant portion of the unrealized

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

appreciation and depreciation. In addition, to reduce its credit risk, at March 31, 2012, AIGFP has entered into credit derivative transactions with respect to $134 million of securities to economically hedge its credit risk.

Super Senior Credit Default Swaps

    Credit default swap transactions were entered into with the intention of earning revenue on credit exposure. In the majority of these transactions, credit protection was sold on a designated portfolio of loans or debt securities. Generally, such credit protection was provided on a "second loss" basis, meaning that credit losses would be incurred 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."

The following table presents the net notional amount, fair value of derivative (asset) liability and unrealized market valuation gain (loss) of the super senior credit default swap portfolio, including credit default swaps written on mezzanine tranches of certain regulatory capital relief transactions, by asset class:

(d)
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, a super senior CDS transaction with a net notional amount of $470 million was terminated at approximately its fair value at the time of termination. As a result, a $416 million loss, which was previously included in the fair value derivative liability as an unrealized market valuation loss, was realized. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, $25 million was paid to counterparties with respect to multi-sector CDOs. Upon payment, a $25 million loss, which was previously included in the fair value of the derivative liability as an unrealized market valuation loss, was realized. Multi-sector CDOs also include $4.1 billion and $4.6 billion in net notional amount of credit default swaps written with cash settlement provisions at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

(e)
Corporate debt/CLOs include $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion in net notional amount of credit default swaps written on the super senior tranches of CLOs at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

    The expected weighted average maturity of the super senior credit derivative portfolios as of March 31, 2012 was 0.5 years for the regulatory capital corporate loan portfolio, 0.7 years for the regulatory capital prime residential mortgage portfolio, 3.5 years for the regulatory capital other portfolio, 6.4 years for the multi-sector CDO arbitrage portfolio and 3.9 years for the corporate debt/CLO portfolio.

AIG 2012 Form 10-Q            45


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

    Given the current performance of the underlying portfolios, the level of subordination of the credit protection written and the assessment of the credit quality of the underlying portfolio, as well as the risk mitigants inherent in the transaction structures, AIG does not expect that it will be required to make payments pursuant to the contractual terms of those transactions providing regulatory relief.

    Because of 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.

Written Single Name Credit Default Swaps

    Credit default swap contracts referencing single-name exposures written on corporate, index and asset-backed credits have also been entered into with the intention of earning spread income on credit exposure. Some of these transactions were entered into as part of a long-short strategy to earn the net spread between CDS written and purchased. At March 31, 2012, the net notional amount of these written CDS contracts was $382 million, including ABS CDS transactions purchased from a liquidated multi-sector super senior CDS transaction. These exposures have been hedged by purchasing offsetting CDS contracts of $69 million in net notional amount. The net unhedged position of $313 million represents the maximum exposure to loss on these CDS contracts. The average maturity of the written CDS contracts is 18.8 years. At March 31, 2012, the fair value of derivative liability (which represents the carrying value) of the portfolio of CDS was $85 million.

    Upon a triggering event (e.g., a default) with respect to the underlying credit, the option would normally exist to either 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).

    These CDS contracts were written under ISDA Master Agreements. The majority of these ISDA Master Agreements include CSAs that provide for collateral postings at various ratings and threshold levels. At March 31, 2012, collateral posted by AIG under these contracts was $78 million (prior to offsets for other transactions).


NON-AIGFP DERIVATIVES

    AIG's businesses other than AIGFP also use derivatives and other instruments as part of their financial risk management. Interest rate derivatives (such as interest rate swaps) are used to manage interest rate risk associated with embedded derivatives contained in insurance contract liabilities, fixed maturity securities, outstanding medium- and long-term notes as well as other interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. 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 currency transactions. Equity derivatives are used to mitigate financial risk embedded in certain insurance liabilities. The derivatives are effective economic hedges of the exposures that they are meant to offset.

    In addition to hedging activities, AIG also enters into 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 (MIP) Written Credit Default Swaps

    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. These contracts were written through AIG Markets, which then transacted directly with unaffiliated third parties under ISDA Master Agreements. As of March 31, 2012, the notional amount of written CDS contracts was $896 million with an average credit rating of BBB+, a

Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

remaining maturity of less than one year and the fair value of the derivative liability (which represents the carrying value) of $6 million.


CREDIT RISK-RELATED CONTINGENT FEATURES

    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 March 31, 2012, was approximately $4.4 billion. The aggregate fair value of assets posted as collateral under these contracts at March 31, 2012, was $4.6 billion.

    AIG estimates that at March 31, 2012, 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 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 a negligible amount of corresponding collateral postings and termination payments; a one-notch downgrade to Baa2 by Moody's Investors' Services, Inc. (Moody's) and an additional one-notch downgrade to BBB by S&P would result in approximately $137 million in additional collateral postings and termination payments and a further one-notch downgrade to Baa3 by Moody's and BBB- by S&P would result in approximately $274 million in additional collateral postings and termination payments. 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 March 31, 2012. 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 invests in hybrid securities (such as credit-linked notes). AIG invested in these hybrid securities with the intent of generating income, and not specifically to acquire exposure to embedded derivative risk. Similar to AIG's other investments in RMBS, CMBS, CDOs and ABS, AIG's investments in these hybrid securities are exposed to losses only up to the amount of AIG's initial investment in the hybrid security. 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.

    AIG elects to account for its investments in these hybrid securities with embedded written credit derivatives at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in Net investment income and Other income. AIG's investments in these hybrid securities are reported as Bond trading securities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of these hybrid securities was $135 million at March 31, 2012. These securities have a current par amount of $430 million and have remaining stated maturity dates that extend to 2052.


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

AIG 2012 Form 10-Q            47


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

consolidated financial condition or its consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows for an individual reporting period.


(A) LITIGATION AND INVESTIGATIONS

    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 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 insurance laws and regulations, as well as federal and state securities laws. In the case of any derivative action brought on behalf of AIG, any recovery would accrue to the benefit of AIG.

    Various regulatory and governmental agencies have been reviewing certain public disclosures, transactions and practices of AIG and its subsidiaries in connection with industry-wide and other inquiries into, among other matters, AIG's liquidity, compensation paid to certain employees, payments made to counterparties, and certain business practices and valuations of current and former operating insurance subsidiaries. AIG has cooperated, and will continue to cooperate, in producing documents and other information in response to subpoenas and other requests.

    AIG's life insurance companies have received industry-wide regulatory inquiries, including a multi-state audit and market conduct examination covering compliance with unclaimed property laws and a directive from the New York Insurance Department (the New York Directive) regarding claims settlement practices and other related state regulatory inquiries. In particular, the above referenced multi-state audit and market conduct examination seeks to require insurers to use the Social Security Death Master File (SSDMF) to identify potential deceased insureds, notwithstanding that the beneficiary or other payee has not presented the company with a valid claim, to determine whether a claim is payable and to take appropriate action. The multi-state audit and market conduct examination covers certain policies in force at any time since 1992. The New York Directive generally requires a similar review and action although the time frame under review is different.

    AIG recorded an increase of $202 million in the estimated reserves for incurred but not reported death claims in 2011 in conjunction with the use of the SSDMF to identify potential claims not yet presented. Although AIG has enhanced its claims practices to include use of the SSDMF, it is possible that the inquiries, audits and other regulatory activity could result in the payment of additional death claims, additional escheatment of funds deemed abandoned under state laws, administrative penalties and interest. AIG believes it is adequately reserved for such claims, but there can be no assurance that the ultimate cost will not vary, perhaps materially, from its estimate. Additionally, state regulators are considering a variety of proposals that would require life insurance companies to take additional steps to identify unreported deceased policy holders.

    The National Association of Insurance Commissioners Market Analysis Working Group, led by the states of Ohio and Iowa, is conducting a multi-state examination of certain accident and health products, including travel products, issued by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa. (National Union). The examination formally commenced in September 2010 after National Union, based on the identification of certain regulatory issues related to the conduct of its accident and health insurance business, including rate and form issues, producer licensing and appointment, and vendor management, requested that state regulators collectively conduct an examination of the regulatory issues in its accident and health business. In addition to Ohio and Iowa, the lead states in the multi-state examination are Minnesota, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and currently a total of 38 states have agreed to participate in the multi-state examination. As part of the multi-state examination, the following Interim Consent Orders were entered into with Ohio: (a) on January 7, 2011, in which National Union

48            AIG 2012 Form 10-Q

agreed, on a nationwide basis, to cease marketing directly to individual bank customers accident/sickness policy forms that had been approved to be sold only as policies providing blanket coverage, and to certain related remediation and audit procedures and (b) on February 14, 2012, in which National Union agreed, on a nationwide basis, to limit outbound telemarketing to certain forms and rates. A Consent Order was entered into with Minnesota on February 10, 2012, in which National Union and Travel Guard Group Inc., an AIG subsidiary, agreed to (i) cease automatically enrolling Minnesota residents in certain insurance relating to air travel, (ii) pay a civil penalty to Minnesota of $250,000 and (iii) refund premium to Minnesota residents who were automatically enrolled in certain insurance relating to air travel. In early 2012, Chartis, Inc., on behalf of itself, National Union, and certain of Chartis, Inc.'s insurance companies (collectively, the Chartis parties) and the lead regulators agreed in principle upon certain terms to resolve the multi-state examination. The terms include (i) payment of a civil penalty of up to $51 million, (ii) agreement to enter into a corrective action plan describing agreed-upon specific steps and standards for evaluating the Chartis parties, ongoing compliance with laws and regulations governing the regulatory issues identified in the examination, and (iii) agreement to pay a contingent fine in the event that the Chartis parties fail to substantially comply with the steps and standards agreed to in the corrective action plan. As of March 31, 2012, AIG has an accrued liability equal to the amount of the civil penalty under the proposed agreement. As the terms outlined above are subject to agreement by the lead and participating states and appropriate agreements or orders, AIG (i) can give no assurance that these terms will not change prior to a final resolution of the multi-state examination that is binding on all parties and (ii) cannot predict what other regulatory action, if any, will result from resolving the multi-state examination. There can be no assurance that any regulatory action resulting from the issues identified will not have a material adverse effect on AIG's consolidated results of operations for an individual reporting period, the ongoing operations of the business being examined, or on similar business written by other AIG carriers. National Union and other AIG companies are also currently subject to civil litigation relating to the conduct of their accident and health business, and may be subject to additional litigation relating to the conduct of such business from time to time in the ordinary course.

    Industry-wide examinations conducted by the Minnesota Department of Insurance and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on captive reinsurance practices by lenders and mortgage insurance companies, including UGC, have been ongoing for several years. Recently, the newly formed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau assumed responsibility for violations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act from HUD, and assumed HUD's aforementioned ongoing investigation. UGC recently received a proposed consent order from the Minnesota Commissioner of Commerce (the MN Commissioner) which alleges that UGC violated the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other state and federal laws in connection with its practices with captive reinsurance companies owned by lenders. UGC is currently engaged in discussions with the MN Commissioner with respect to the terms of the proposed consent order. UGC cannot predict if or when a consent order may be entered into or, if entered into, what the terms of the final consent order will be. UGC is also currently subject to civil litigation relating to its placement of reinsurance with captives owned by lenders, and may be subject to additional litigation relating to the conduct of such business from time to time in the ordinary course.

AIG's Subprime Exposure, AIGFP 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

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). Subsequently, on November 18, 2011 and January 20, 2012, two separate, though similar, securities actions were brought against AIG and certain directors and officers of AIG and AIGFP by the Kuwait Investment Office and various Oppenheimer Funds, respectively.

    On May 19, 2009, lead plaintiff in the Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation filed a consolidated complaint on behalf of purchasers of AIG Common 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 Common 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.

    On November 24, 2010 and December 10, 2010, AIG and all other defendants filed answers to the consolidated complaint denying the material allegations therein and asserting their defenses.

    On April 1, 2011, the lead plaintiff in the Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation filed a motion to certify a class of plaintiffs. On November 2, 2011, the Court terminated the motion without prejudice to an application for restoration. On March 30, 2012, the lead plaintiff filed a renewed motion to certify a class of plaintiffs.

    As of May 3, 2012, plaintiffs in the Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation have not specified an amount of alleged damages, discovery is ongoing and the Court has not determined if a class action is appropriate or the size or scope of any class. As a result, AIG is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from the litigation.

    As of May 3, 2012, the actions initiated by the Kuwait Investment Office and various Oppenheimer Funds are in their early stages, no discussions concerning potential damages have occurred and the plaintiffs have not specified an amount of alleged damages in their respective actions. As a result, AIG is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from these litigations.

    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 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.

    On March 31, 2011, the Court granted defendants' motions to dismiss with respect to one plan at issue, and denied defendants' motions to dismiss with respect to the other two plans at issue.

    On August 5, 2011, AIG and all other defendants filed answers to the consolidated complaint denying the material allegations therein and asserting their defenses.

    On March 19, 2012, AIG and all other defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings.

    As of May 3, 2012, plaintiffs have not specified an amount of alleged damages, discovery is ongoing, and the Court has not determined if a class action is appropriate or the size or scope of any class. As a result, AIG is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from the litigation.

    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 United States District Court for the Central District of California (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 17, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the Second Circuit) affirmed the Southern District of New York's dismissal of the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation due to plaintiff's failure to make a pre-suit demand.

    On August 10, 2011 and August 15, 2011, the plaintiff that brought the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation sent letters to AIG's Board of Directors (the Board) demanding that the Board cause AIG to pursue the claims asserted in the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation. On September 13, 2011, the Board rejected the demand.

    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 described below:

    Canadian Securities Class Action — Ontario Superior Court of Justice.    On November 12, 2008, an application was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for leave to bring a purported class action against AIG, AIGFP, 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 a pair of actions captioned Club Resorts Ltd. v. Van Breda 2012 SCC 17 (Van Breda). On April 18, 2012, the Supreme Court of Canada issued a decision in those actions, clarifying the standard for determining jurisdiction over foreign and out-of-province defendants, such as AIG.

    The Supreme Court of Canada found, among other things, that in order to be "doing business" in a province for purposes of establishing jurisdiction, a defendant must have some form of "actual," as opposed to a merely "virtual," presence in the jurisdiction. The Supreme Court of Canada also suggested that in future cases, defendants may contest jurisdiction even when they are found to be doing business in a Canadian jurisdiction if their business activities in the jurisdiction are unrelated to the subject matter of the litigation.

    The hearing on defendants' motion has been scheduled and will address, inter alia, whether, under the ruling in Van Breda, AIG and AIGFP were "doing business" in Ontario for purposes of jurisdiction.

    In plaintiff's proposed statement of claim, plaintiff alleged general and special damages of $500 million, and punitive damages of $50 million plus prejudgment interest or such other sums as the Court finds appropriate. As of May 3, 2012, the Court has not determined whether it has jurisdiction or granted plaintiff's application to file a statement of claim and no merits discovery has occurred. As a result, AIG is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from the litigation.

    Starr International Litigation — On November 21, 2011, Starr International Company, Inc. (SICO) filed a complaint against the Department of the Treasury in the United States Court of Federal Claims, bringing claims, both individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated and derivatively on behalf of AIG (the Starr Treasury Action). The complaint challenges the government's assistance of AIG, pursuant to which AIG entered into the FRBNY Credit Facility and the Department of the Treasury received an approximately 80 percent ownership in AIG. The complaint alleges that the interest rate imposed on AIG and the appropriation of approximately 80 percent of AIG's equity was discriminatory, unprecedented, and inconsistent with liquidity assistance offered by the government to other comparable firms at the time and violated the Equal Protection, Due Process, and Takings Clauses of the U.S. Constitution.

    On the same day that SICO commenced the Starr Treasury Action, SICO also filed a second complaint in the United States District Court in the Southern District of New York, this one against the FRBNY bringing claims,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

both individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated and derivatively on behalf of AIG. This complaint also challenges the government's assistance of AIG, pursuant to which AIG entered into the FRBNY Credit Facility and the Department of the Treasury received an approximately 80 percent ownership in AIG. The complaint alleges that the FRBNY owed fiduciary duties to AIG as a controlling shareholder of AIG, and that the FRBNY breached these fiduciary duties by "divert[ing] the rights and assets of AIG and its shareholders to itself and favored third parties" through transactions involving ML III, an entity controlled by the FRBNY, and by "participating in, and causing AIG's officers and directors to participate in, the evasion of AIG's existing Common Stock shareholders' right to approve the massive issuance of the new Common Shares required to complete the government's taking of a nearly 80 percent interest in the Common Stock of AIG." SICO also alleges that the "FRBNY has asserted that in exercising its control over, and acting on behalf of, AIG it did not act in an official, governmental capacity or at the direction of the Department of the Treasury," but that "[t]o the extent the proof at or prior to trial shows that the FRBNY did in fact act in a governmental capacity, or at the direction of the Department of the Treasury, the improper conduct . . . constitutes the discriminatory takings of the property and property rights of AIG without due process or just compensation."

    In both of the actions commenced by SICO, the only claims naming AIG as a party are derivative claims on behalf of AIG, and AIG thus faces no potential damages. The FRBNY has requested indemnification under the FRBNY Credit Facility from AIG in connection with the action against it and AIG is discussing the request and its scope with the FRBNY. On January 31, 2012 and February 1, 2012, amended complaints were filed in the Court of Federal Claims and the Southern District of New York, respectively. These amended complaints contain additional factual allegations, but do not contain any new claims against the Department of the Treasury, the FRBNY or AIG.

    On January 31, 2012, the Court of Federal Claims added AIG as a party to the Starr Treasury Action as a nominal defendant and held that "AIG may participate in this case to any extent it deems appropriate." On February 23, 2012, SICO and AIG filed a joint motion and stipulation, which the Department of the Treasury opposed, requesting that AIG's time to respond to the amended complaint be extended until 20 days after the Department of the Treasury answered the amended complaint. On March 1, 2012, the Department of the Treasury filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On March 13, 2012, the Court of Federal Claims issued an order stating that AIG need not respond to SICO's amended complaint until 20 days after the Department of the Treasury files its answer to the amended complaint.

    On March 9, 2012, the Southern District of New York endorsed a stipulation and order between AIG and SICO (but opposed by the FRBNY) that AIG need not respond to SICO's amended complaint until 20 days after the FRBNY files its answer to the amended complaint. FRBNY filed its motion to dismiss the amended complaint on April 2, 2012.

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 March 31, 2012, the estimated present value of expected future cash flows discounted at LIBOR was $1.5 billion, which represents AIG's maximum contractual loss from the alleged termination of the contract. It is AIG's position that no termination event has occurred and that the swap agreement remains in effect. A determination that a termination event has occurred could result in AIG losing its entitlement to all future payments under the swap agreement and result in a loss to AIG of the full value at which AIG is carrying the swap agreement.

    Additionally, a determination that AIG triggered a "bankruptcy" event of default under the swap agreement could also, 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. During the third quarter of 2011, beneficiaries of certain previously repaid AIGFP guaranteed investment agreements brought an action against AIG Parent and AIGFP making "bankruptcy" event of default allegations similar to those made by Brookfield. AIG has moved to dismiss the beneficiaries' supplemental amended complaint.

    On December 17, 2009, AIG and AIGFP filed a motion to dismiss Brookfield's complaint. 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. On January 26, 2011, Brookfield filed an amended complaint that sought to reassert, on the basis of additional factual allegations, the claims that were dismissed from the initial complaint. While AIG initially moved to dismiss the claim that Brookfield sought to reassert in its amended complaint, after Brookfield filed a second amended complaint on September 15, 2011, AIG informed the Court that, in light of the advanced stage of fact discovery in the case, it intends to defer seeking to dismiss Brookfield's claims until motions for summary judgment have been filed, when the discovery record can be considered. AIG and AIGFP filed an answer to the second amended complaint on November 8, 2011. Fact discovery is currently scheduled to conclude on May 15, 2012.

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 (the AIG Respondents). 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 of $350 million and other unspecified damages.

    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 of Euro 17.6 million ($23.5 million at the March 31, 2012 exchange rate) from Transatlantic for breach of a Master Separation Agreement among Transatlantic, AIG and one of its subsidiary companies.

    On September 13, 2010, the AIG Respondents submitted an answer to Claimants' claims asserting, among other things, that there was no breach of the securities lending agency agreements, and that Claimants' other allegations including purported breach of fiduciary duty and fraud are not meritorious. Transatlantic submitted an answer denying liability with respect to AIG's claim on September 13, 2010. Claimants increased its claimed damages to an amount of approximately $500 million.

    On January 26, 2012, AIG Respondents and Claimants reached a binding agreement to terminate the arbitration proceedings and to dismiss all claims between the parties without any admission of liability by any of the parties. Pursuant to the agreement, the parties will first seek to reach an overall mediated settlement of the claims in the arbitration proceeding along with various other business matters that were not at issue in the arbitration. If a mediated resolution including all claims and outstanding business issues cannot be reached, then

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

the parties will try to reach a mediated resolution of the securities lending claims only, including a settlement payment to Transatlantic between $45 million and $125 million. If the parties cannot reach such resolution, the parties have agreed that, following a 3-day hearing set to start on July 9, 2012, the mediator will determine the amount of a settlement payment to Transatlantic with respect to the securities lending claims in a range between $45 million and $125 million. Accordingly, AIG has accrued an amount it believes is reasonable for this settlement.

Employment Litigation against AIG and AIG Global Real Estate Investment Corporation

    Fitzpatrick matter.    On December 9, 2009, AIG Global Real Estate Investment Corporation's (AIGGRE) former President, Kevin P. Fitzpatrick, several entities he controls, and various other single purpose entities (the SPEs) filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County against AIG and AIGGRE (the Defendants). The case was removed to the Southern District of New York, and an amended complaint was filed on March 8, 2010. The amended complaint asserts that the Defendants violated fiduciary duties to Fitzpatrick and his controlled entities and breached Fitzpatrick's employment agreement and agreements of SPEs that purportedly entitled him to carried interest fees arising out of the sale or disposition of certain real estate. Fitzpatrick has also brought derivative claims on behalf of the SPEs, purporting to allege that the Defendants breached contractual and fiduciary duties in failing to fund the SPEs with various amounts allegedly due under the SPE agreements. Fitzpatrick has also requested injunctive relief, an accounting, and that a receiver be appointed to manage the affairs of the SPEs. He has further alleged that the SPEs are subject to a constructive trust. Fitzpatrick also has alleged a violation of ERISA relating to retirement benefits purportedly due. Fitzpatrick has claimed that he is currently owed damages totaling approximately $196 million, and that potential future amounts owed to him are approximately $78 million, for a total of approximately $274 million. Fitzpatrick further claims unspecified amounts of carried interest on certain additional real estate assets of AIG and its affiliates. He also seeks punitive damages for the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. Defendants assert that Fitzpatrick has been paid all amounts currently due and owing pursuant to the various agreements through which he seeks recovery. As set forth above, the possible range of loss to AIG is $0 to $274 million, although Fitzpatrick claims that he is also entitled to additional unspecified amounts of carried interest and punitive damages.

    Defendants filed counterclaims against Fitzpatrick and a motion to dismiss. On September 28, 2010, the Court dismissed the Defendants' counterclaims, and denied Defendants' motion to dismiss. On March 14, 2011, both plaintiffs and defendants filed motions for partial summary judgment. Those motions are still pending, and no trial date has been set.

    Behm matter.    Frank Behm, former President of AIG Global Real Estate Asia Pacific, Inc. (AIGGREAP), has filed two actions in connection with the termination of his employment. Behm filed an action on or about October 1, 2010 in Delaware Superior Court in which he asserts claims of breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing for termination in violation of public policy, deprivation of compensation, and breach of contract. Additionally, on or about March 29, 2011, Behm filed an arbitration proceeding before the American Arbitration Association alleging wrongful termination, in which he seeks the payment of carried interest or "promote" distributed through the SPEs, based on the sales of certain real estate assets. Behm also contends that he is entitled to promote as a third-party beneficiary of Kevin Fitzpatrick's employment agreement, which, Behm claims, defines broadly a class of individuals, allegedly including himself, who, with the approval of AIG's former Chief Investment Officer, became eligible to receive promote payments. Behm is now claiming approximately $67 million in carried interest. Multiple AIG entities (the AIG Entities) are named as parties in each of the Behm matters. The AIG Entities have filed a counterclaim in the Delaware case, contending that Behm owes them approximately $3.6 million (before pre-judgment interest) in tax equalization payments made by the AIG Entities on Behm's behalf.

    Both matters filed by Behm are premised on the same key allegations. Behm claims that the AIG Entities wrongfully terminated him from AIGGREAP in an effort to silence him for voicing opposition to allegedly

AIG 2012 Form 10-Q            55

American International Group, Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

improper practices concerning the amount of AIG reserves for carried interest that Behm contends is due to him and others. The AIG Entities contend that their reserves are appropriate, as Behm's claims for additional carried interest are without merit. Behm claims that, when he refused to accede to the AIG Entities' position as to the amount of carried interest due, he was targeted for investigation and subsequently terminated, purportedly for providing confidential AIG information to a competitor, and its executive search firm. Behm argues that he did not disclose any confidential information; instead, he met with several of the competitor's representatives in order to foster interest in purchasing AIGGREAP.

    The parties have finalized the selection of the arbitration panel and the arbitration began on May 1, 2012. No trial date has been set in the Delaware action. As set forth above, the possible range of loss to AIG is $0 to $67 million, although Behm claims that he is also entitled to additional unspecified amounts of carried interest and punitive damages.

False Claims Act Complaint

    On February 25, 2010, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California by two individuals (Relators) seeking to assert claims on behalf of the United States against AIG and certain other defendants, including Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank, under the False Claims Act. Relators filed a First Amended Complaint on September 30, 2010, adding certain additional defendants, including Bank of America and Société Générale. The amended complaint alleges that defendants engaged in fraudulent business practices in respect of their activities in the over-the-counter market for collateralized debt obligations, and submitted false claims to the United States in connection with the FRBNY Credit Facility and the ML II and ML III entities (the Maiden Lane Interests) through, among other things, misrepresenting AIG's ability and intent to repay amounts drawn on the FRBNY Credit Facility, and misrepresenting the value of the securities that the Maiden Lane Interests acquired from AIG and certain of its counterparties. The complaint seeks unspecified damages pursuant to the False Claims Act in the amount of three times the damages allegedly sustained by the United States as well as interest, attorneys' fees, costs and expenses. The complaint and amended complaints were initially filed and maintained under seal while the United States considered whether to intervene in the action. On or about April 28, 2011, after the United States declined to intervene, the District Court lifted the seal, and Relators served the amended complaint on AIG on July 11, 2011.

    On October 14, 2011, the defendants that had been served filed motions to dismiss the amended complaint, which are currently fully briefed and the Court has taken the motions under advisement. The Relators have not specified in their amended complaint an amount of alleged damages. As a result, AIG is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from the litigation.

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 United States Department of Justice (DOJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (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.

56            AIG 2012 Form 10-Q


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

    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.

    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. Additional amounts held in escrow totaling approximately $597 million, including interest thereon, are included in Other assets at March 31, 2012, and, as discussed below, are specifically designated to satisfy regulatory and class-action liabilities related to workers' compensation premium reporting issues. Approximately $338 million of the $597 million of the current total workers' compensation related escrow amount was originally held in an account established as part of the 2006 New York regulatory settlement and referred to as the Workers' Compensation Fund.

    On February 1, 2012, AIG was informed by the SEC that AIG had complied with the terms of the settlement order under which AIG had agreed to retain an independent consultant, and as of that date, was no longer subject to such order.

    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. 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. The examination focused on legacy issues related to AIG's writing and reporting of workers' compensation insurance prior to 1996 and current compliance with legal requirements applicable to such business.

    On December 17, 2010, AIG and the lead states reached an agreement to settle all regulatory liabilities arising out of the subjects of the multistate examination. The regulatory settlement agreement, which has been agreed to by all 50 states and the District of Columbia, includes, among other terms: (i) AIG's payment of $100 million in regulatory fines and penalties; (ii) AIG's payment of $46.5 million in outstanding premium taxes; (iii) AIG's agreement to enter into a compliance plan describing agreed-upon specific steps and standards for evaluating AIG's ongoing compliance with state regulations governing the setting of workers' compensation insurance premium rates and the reporting of workers' compensation premiums; and (iv) AIG's agreement to pay up to $150 million in contingent fines in the event that AIG fails to comply substantially with the compliance plan requirements. The $146.5 million in fines, penalties and premium taxes have been funded out of the $338 million originally held in the Workers' Compensation Fund and placed into an escrow account pursuant to the terms of the regulatory settlement agreement. The regulatory settlement originally was contingent upon, among other

events: (i) a final, court-approved settlement being reached in all the lawsuits that comprise the Workers' Compensation Premium Reporting Litigation, discussed below, including the putative class action, except that such settlement need not resolve claims between AIG and the Liberty Mutual Group; and (ii) a settlement being reached and consummated between AIG and certain state insurance guaranty funds that may assert claims against AIG for underpayment of guaranty-fund assessments. AIG and the other parties to the regulatory settlement agreement subsequently agreed to waive the settlement contingency of a final settlement in the lawsuits that comprise the Workers' Compensation Premium Reporting Litigation, provided that such waiver will not become effective until AIG consummates a settlement with the state insurance guaranty associations.

    As of March 31, 2012, AIG has an accrued liability for the amounts payable under the proposed settlement.

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 C.V. Starr & Co., Inc. (Starr), SICO, General Reinsurance Corporation (General Re), and PwC, among others. The lead plaintiff alleges, among other things, that AIG: (i) concealed that it engaged in anti-competitive conduct through alleged payment of contingent commissions to brokers and participation in illegal bid-rigging; (ii) concealed that it used "income smoothing" products and other techniques to inflate its earnings; (iii) concealed that it marketed and sold "income smoothing" insurance products to other companies; and (iv) misled investors about the scope of government investigations. In addition, the lead plaintiff alleges that Maurice R. Greenberg, AIG's former Chief Executive Officer, 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.

    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 would pay an aggregate of $725 million.

    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. On November 30, 2010, AIG and lead plaintiffs executed their agreement of settlement and compromise. On November 30, 2010, lead plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement with AIG.

    On October 5, 2011, the District Court granted lead plaintiffs' motion for preliminary approval of the settlement between AIG and lead plaintiffs. Notices to class members of the settlement were mailed on October 14, 2011. On December 2, 2011, Lead Plaintiff filed a motion for final approval of the settlement and for attorneys' fees. Objections to the settlement and requests to be excluded from the settlement were due to the District Court by December 30, 2011. Only two shareholders objected to the settlement, and 25 shareholders claiming to hold less than 1.5 percent of AIG's outstanding shares at the end of the class period submitted timely and valid requests to opt out of the class. Of those 25 shareholders, seven are investment funds controlled by the same investment group, and that investment group is the only opt-out who held more than 1,000 shares at the end of the class period. By order dated February 2, 2012, the District Court granted lead plaintiffs' motion for final approval of

the Settlement between AIG and lead plaintiffs. AIG has fully funded the amount of the Settlement into an escrow account.

    On January 23, 2012, AIG and the Florida pension funds, who had brought a separate securities fraud action, executed a settlement agreement. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, AIG paid $4 million.

    On February 17, 2012 and March 6, 2012, two objectors appealed the final approval of the settlement. The settlement with the Florida pension funds can be terminated by AIG if either of the objectors' appeals is successful.

    The Multi-District Litigation.    Commencing in 2004, policyholders brought multiple federal antitrust and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (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 (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 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 affirmed the dismissal of the Employee Benefits Complaint in its entirety, affirmed in part and vacated 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.

    On October 1, 2010, defendants named in the Commercial Complaint filed motions to dismiss the remaining remanded claims in the District of New Jersey. On March 18, 2011, AIG and certain other defendants announced that they had entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with class plaintiffs to settle the claims asserted against them in the Commercial Complaint. As of May 20, 2011, the parties to the MOU and certain other defendants entered into a Stipulation of Settlement. Under the terms of the settlement, it is anticipated that AIG will pay $6.75 million of a total aggregate settlement amount of approximately $37 million. The settlement is conditioned on final court approval. Plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and litigation expenses, and the aggregate costs of notice and claims administration in connection with the settlement, would be paid from the settlement fund.

    On June 20, 2011, the Court "administratively terminated" without prejudice the various Defendants' pending motions to dismiss the proposed class plaintiffs' operative pleading indicating that those motions may be re-filed after adjudication of all issues related to the proposed class settlement and subject to the approval of the Magistrate Judge. On June 27, 2011, the Court preliminarily approved the class settlement. On June 30, 2011, AIG placed its portion of the total settlement payment into escrow. If the settlement does not receive final court approval, those funds will revert to AIG. A final fairness hearing was held on September 14, 2011. On March 30, 2012, the Court granted final approval of the class settlement. On April 27, 2012, a notice of appeal of the order granting final approval was filed.

    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. In one of those consolidated actions, Palm Tree Computer Systems, Inc. v. Ace USA (Palm Tree), which is brought by two named plaintiffs on behalf of a proposed class of insurance purchasers, the plaintiffs allege specifically with respect to their claim for breach of fiduciary duty against the insurer defendants that neither named plaintiff nor any member of the proposed class suffered damages "exceeding $74,999 each." Plaintiffs do not specify damages as to other claims against the insurer defendants in the complaint. The plaintiffs in Palm Tree have not yet sought certification of the class. Because discovery has not been completed and the District Court has not determined if a class action is appropriate or the size or scope of any class, AIG is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from the Palm Tree litigation. In another consolidated action, The Heritage Corp. of South Florida v. National Union Fire Ins. Co. (Heritage), an individual plaintiff alleges damages "in excess of $75,000." Because discovery has not been completed and a precise amount of damages has not been specified, AIG is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from the Heritage litigation. For the remaining consolidated actions, as of February, 2012, plaintiffs have not specified an amount of alleged damages arising from these actions. AIG is therefore unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from these matters.

    In June 2011, the Court ordered counsel for each of the tag-along actions in the Multi-District Litigation (including the following cases where AIG is a defendant: Avery Dennison Corp. v. Marsh & McLennan Companies,  Inc.; Henley Management Co. v. Marsh Inc.; Heritage; and Palm Tree) to submit a letter to the Court within 30 days of the date of that order that outlines the effect the current proposed class settlement will have on their respective cases if finalized in due course. In July 2011, several plaintiffs submitted letters to the Court. Defendants submitted an omnibus response to the Court on August 19, 2011.

    On October 17, 2011, the Court conducted a conference and subsequently ordered that discovery and motion practice may proceed in all tag-along actions. The parties were ordered to submit a proposed scheduling order for discovery and any additional motion practice to the Court by October 31, 2011.

    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 and on August 14, 2009, defendants filed renewed special exceptions. Plaintiff in the Texas action alleges a "maximum" of $125 million in total damages (after trebling). Because the Court has not rendered a decision on defendants' renewed special exceptions and discovery has not been completed, AIG is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from the Texas action. In the Kansas action, defendants are appealing to the Kansas Supreme Court the trial court's denial of defendants' motion to dismiss on statute of limitations grounds. In the Kansas action, the plaintiff alleges damages in an amount "greater than $75,000" for each of the three claims directed against AIG in the complaint. Because the Kansas Supreme Court has not decided the appeal of the trial court's denial of defendants' motion to dismiss, a precise amount of damages has not been specified and discovery has not been completed, AIG is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, from the Kansas action.

    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 (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 Group (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 (Safeco) and Ohio Casualty Insurance Company (Ohio Casualty) filed a complaint in 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 and Ohio Casualty 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. The plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification on July 16, 2010. AIG opposed the motion.

    On January 5, 2011, AIG executed a term sheet with a group of intervening plaintiffs, made up of seven participating members of the NWCRP that filed a motion to intervene in the class action for the purpose of settling the claims at issue on behalf of a settlement class. The proposed class-action settlement would require AIG to pay $450 million to satisfy all liabilities to the class members arising out of the workers' compensation premium reporting issues, a portion of which would be funded out of the remaining amount held in the Workers' Compensation Fund less any amounts previously withdrawn to satisfy AIG's regulatory settlement obligations, as addressed above. On January 13, 2011, their motion to intervene was granted. On January 19, 2011, the intervening class plaintiffs filed their Complaint in Intervention. On January 28, 2011, AIG and the intervening class plaintiffs entered into a settlement agreement embodying the terms set forth in the January 5, 2011 term sheet and filed a joint motion for certification of the settlement class and preliminary approval of the settlement. If approved by the Court (and such approval becomes final), the settlement agreement will resolve and dismiss with prejudice all claims that have been made or that could have been made in the consolidated litigations pending in the Northern District of Illinois arising out of workers' compensation premium reporting, including the class action, other than claims that are brought by any class member that opts out of the settlement. On April 29, 2011, Liberty Mutual filed papers in opposition to preliminary approval of the proposed settlement and in opposition to certification of a settlement class, in which it alleged AIG's actual exposure, should the class action continue through judgment, to be in excess of $3 billion. AIG disputes and will defend against this allegation. The Court held a hearing on the motions for class certification and preliminary approval of the proposed class-action settlement on June 21 and July 25, 2011.

    On August 1, 2011, the Court issued an opinion and order granting the motion for class certification and preliminarily approving the proposed class-action settlement, subject to certain minor modifications that the Court noted the parties already had agreed to make. The opinion and order became effective upon the entry of a separate Findings and Order Preliminarily Certifying a Settlement Class and Preliminarily Approving Proposed Settlement on August 5, 2011. Liberty Mutual sought leave from the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit to appeal the August 5, 2011 class certification decision, which was denied on August 19, 2011. Notice of the settlement was issued to the class members on August 19, 2011 advising that any class member

wishing to opt out of or object to the class-action settlement was required to do so by October 3, 2011. RLI Insurance Company and its affiliates, which were to receive less than one thousand dollars under the proposed settlement, sent the only purported opt-out notice. Liberty Mutual, including its subsidiaries Safeco and Ohio Casualty, and the Kemper group of insurance companies, through their affiliate Lumbermens Mutual Casualty, were the only two objectors. AIG and the settling class plaintiffs filed responses to the objectors' submissions on October 28, 2011. The Court conducted a final fairness hearing on November 29, 2011. Immediately prior to the hearing, Lumbermens Mutual Casualty withdrew its objection to the settlement. On December 21, 2011, the Court issued an order granting final approval of the settlement, but staying that ruling pending a forthcoming opinion. On February 28, 2012, the Court entered a final order and judgment approving the class action settlement. Liberty Mutual, Safeco and Ohio Casualty filed notices of their intent to appeal the Court's final order and judgment. The Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has consolidated the appeals.

    The $450 million settlement amount, which is currently held in escrow pending final resolution of the class-action settlement, was funded in part from the approximately $191.5 million remaining in the Workers' Compensation Fund, after the transfer of the $146.5 million in fines, penalties, and premium taxes discussed in the NAIC Examination of Workers' Compensation Premium Reporting matter above into a separate escrow account pursuant to the regulatory settlement agreement. In the event that the proposed class action settlement is not approved, the litigation will resume. As of March 31, 2012, AIG has an accrued liability equal to the amounts payable under the settlement.

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 intervened in the first-filed action, and the second-filed action was 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. In addition, the intervenors originally alleged that various lawyers and law firms who represented parties in the underlying class and derivative litigation (the Lawyer Defendants) were also liable for fraud and suppression, misrepresentation, and breach of fiduciary duty.

    The complaints filed by the plaintiffs and the intervenors 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, assert that information concerning the excess policy was publicly disclosed months prior to the approval of the settlement, that the claims are barred by the statute of limitations, and that the statute cannot be tolled in light of the public disclosure of the excess coverage. The plaintiffs and intervenors, 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.

    In November 2007, the trial court dismissed the intervenors' complaint against the Lawyer Defendants, and the Alabama Supreme Court affirmed that dismissal in September 2008. After the case was sent back down to the trial court, the intervenors retained additional counsel and filed an Amended Complaint in Intervention that named only Caremark and AIG and various subsidiaries as defendants, purported to bring claims against all defendants for deceit and conspiracy to deceive, and purported to bring a claim against AIG and its subsidiaries for aiding and abetting Caremark's alleged deception. The defendants moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint in Intervention, and the plaintiffs moved to disqualify all of the lawyers for the intervenors because, among other things, the newly retained firm had previously represented Caremark. The intervenors, in turn, moved to disqualify the lawyers for the plaintiffs in the first-filed action. The cross-motions to disqualify were withdrawn after the two

sets of plaintiffs agreed that counsel for the original plaintiffs would act as lead counsel, and intervenors also withdrew their Amended Complaint in Intervention. The trial court approved all of the foregoing steps and, in April 2009, established a schedule for class action discovery that was to lead to a hearing on class certification in March 2010. The Court has since appointed a special master to oversee class action discovery and has directed the parties to submit a new discovery schedule after certain discovery disputes are resolved. Class discovery is ongoing. A class certification hearing has been set for May 30, 2012.

    As of May 3, 2012, the parties have not completed class action discovery, general discovery has not commenced, and the court has not determined if a class action is appropriate or the size or scope of any class. As a result, AIG is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from the litigation.


(B) COMMITMENTS

Flight Equipment

    At March 31, 2012, ILFC had committed to purchase 247 new aircraft, including 18 aircraft through sale-leaseback transactions with airlines, three used aircraft, and nine new spare engines deliverable from 2012 through 2019, with aggregate estimated total remaining payments of approximately $18.7 billion. ILFC also has the right to purchase an additional 50 Airbus A320neo family narrowbody aircraft. ILFC will be required to find lessees for any aircraft acquired and to arrange financing for a substantial portion of the purchase price.

Other Commitments

    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 $2.8 billion at March 31, 2012.


(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 loss reserves will not develop adversely and have a material adverse effect on its results of operations. Estimation of ultimate net losses, loss expenses and loss reserves is a complex process for long-tail casualty lines of business, which include general liability, commercial automobile liability, workers' compensation, excess casualty and crisis management coverages, insurance and risk management programs for large corporate customers and other customized structured insurance products, as well as excess and umbrella liability, directors and officers and products liability. 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. 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 economic conditions in the United States and abroad, changes in the legal, regulatory, judicial and social environment, changes in medical cost trends (inflation, intensity and utilization of medical services), underlying policy pricing, terms and conditions, and claims handling practices.

(D) GUARANTEES

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 AIGFP.

    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 March 31, 2012 was $437 million. In those transactions, AIGFP has agreed to pay such amount if the lessee fails to pay. The amount payable by AIGFP is, in certain cases, partially offset by amounts payable under other instruments typically equal to the present value of a scheduled payment to be made by AIGFP. In the event that AIGFP is required to make a payment to the equity investor, the lessee is unconditionally obligated to reimburse AIGFP. To the extent that 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 required to pay.

Asset Dispositions

General

    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.

Repurchases of Equity Securities

    In the first quarter of 2012, AIG's Board of Directors (the Board) authorized the repurchase of shares of AIG Common Stock with an aggregate purchase amount of up to $3 billion from time to time in the open market, private purchases, through derivative or automatic purchase contracts, or otherwise. This authorization replaced all prior AIG Common Stock repurchase authorizations.

66            AIG 2012 Form 10-Q


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

    On March 13, 2012, the Department of the Treasury, as the selling shareholder, closed the sale of 206,896,552 shares of AIG Common Stock, at a public offering price of $29.00 per share. AIG purchased 103,448,276 shares of AIG Common Stock in the Offering at the public offering price for an aggregate purchase amount of $3.0 billion, thus utilizing the full authorization.

Dividends

    Payment of future dividends depends on the regulatory framework that will ultimately be applicable to AIG. This framework will depend on, among other things, whether AIG is treated as either a systemically important financial institution (SIFI) or as a savings and loan holding company under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank). The level of the Department of the Treasury's ownership in AIG may affect AIG's regulatory status. In addition, dividends will be payable on AIG's Common Stock only when, as and if declared by the Board in its discretion, from funds legally available therefor. In considering whether to pay a dividend or repurchase shares of AIG Common Stock, the Board will take into account such matters as AIG's financial position, the performance of its businesses, its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and liquidity, available capital, the existence of investment opportunities, contractual, legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by subsidiaries to AIG, rating agency considerations, including the potential effect on AIG's debt ratings, and such other factors as AIG's Board may deem relevant. AIG has not paid any cash dividends in 2011 or 2012.

    See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K for discussion of restrictions on payments of dividends by AIG subsidiaries.

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 EPS 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 EPS was not affected by outstanding stock purchase contracts. Diluted EPS is determined considering the potential dilution

Dilutive shares are calculated using the treasury stock method and include dilutive shares from share-based employee compensation plans and the warrants issued to the Department of the Treasury in 2009. The number of shares and warrants excluded from diluted shares outstanding were 78 million and 65 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Included in the anti-dilutive total for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were 75 million and 59 million shares, respectively, representing the weighted average amount of warrants to purchase AIG Common Stock that were issued to shareholders on January 19, 2011.

    Deemed dividends represent the excess of (i) the fair value of the consideration transferred to the Department of the Treasury, which consists of 1,092,169,866 shares of AIG Common Stock, $20.2 billion of redeemable AIA SPV Preferred Interests and preferred interests in the ALICO SPV, and a liability for a commitment by AIG to pay the Department of the Treasury's costs to dispose of all of its shares, over (ii) the carrying value of the Series E Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share (the Series E Preferred Stock), and Series F Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share (the Series F Preferred Stock). The fair value of the AIG Common Stock issued for the Series C Perpetual, Convertible, Participating Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share (Series C Preferred Stock) over the carrying value of the Series C Preferred Stock is not a deemed dividend because the Series C Preferred Stock was

These estimates are subject to change since contribution decisions are affected by various factors, including AIG's liquidity, market performance and management discretion.


AMENDMENTS TO U.S. PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL PLANS

    In the third quarter of 2011, AIG announced that, effective April 1, 2012, the AIG Retirement and AIG Excess Plans would be converted from a final average pay to a cash balance formula and the retiree medical employer subsidy for the AIG Postretirement Plan would be eliminated for certain employees. The affected plans were remeasured in 2011 to give effect to the amendments in the period that the changes were announced.

12. INCOME TAXES

INTERIM TAX CALCULATION METHOD

    AIG uses the estimated annual effective tax rate method in computing its interim tax provision. Certain items, including those deemed to be unusual, infrequent or that cannot be reliably estimated, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. In these cases, the actual tax expense or benefit applicable to that item is treated discretely, and is reported in the same period as the related item. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the tax effects of the gains on ML II and certain dispositions, including a portion of the ordinary shares of AIA and common units of The Blackstone Group L.P., as well as certain actual and projected gains on SunAmerica's available-for-sale securities were treated as discrete items.


INTERIM TAX EXPENSE (BENEFIT)

    For the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the effective tax rate on pretax income from continuing operations was 25.0 percent. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, attributable to continuing operations differs from the statutory tax rate of 35 percent primarily due to tax effects associated with tax exempt interest income and investments in partnerships, and a decrease in the life-insurance-business capital loss carryforward valuation allowance primarily attributable to the actual and projected gains on sales of SunAmerica's available-for-sale securities.

    For the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, the effective tax rate on pretax loss from continuing operations was 17.3 percent. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, attributable to continuing operations differed from the statutory rate of 35 percent primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance attributable to continuing operations for the U.S. consolidated income tax group, tax effects associated with tax exempt interest income, investments in partnerships, and changes in uncertain tax positions.


ASSESSMENT OF DEFERRED TAX ASSET VALUATION ALLOWANCES

    The evaluation of the recoverability of AIG's deferred tax asset and the need for a valuation allowance requires AIG to weigh all positive and negative evidence to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The more negative evidence that exists, the more positive evidence is necessary and the more difficult it is to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed.

    AIG's framework for assessing the recoverability of the deferred tax assets requires AIG to consider all available evidence, including:

    During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, AIG has identified certain prudent and feasible tax planning strategies that result in an assessment that a portion of the life insurance business capital loss carryforwards will be realized on a more-likely-than-not basis prior to their expiration. The tax planning strategies are related to the actual and projected sales of available-for-sale securities in the life insurance business.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

Additional life insurance business capital loss carryforwards may be realized in the future if and when other prudent and feasible tax planning strategies are identified.

    As a result of these tax planning strategies, AIG reached its conclusion that $190 million of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance for AIG's U.S. consolidated income tax group should be released during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, of which $183 million was allocated to income from continuing operations.


ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES

    At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, AIG's unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were $4.2 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively. At both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, AIG's unrecognized tax benefits included $0.7 billion related to tax positions that if recognized would not affect the effective tax rate because they relate to the timing, rather than the permissibility, of the deduction. Accordingly, at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate were $3.5 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively.

    Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, AIG accrued $707 million and $744 million, respectively, for the payment of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, AIG recognized $37 million and $35 million, respectively, of income tax benefit for interest net of the federal detriment and penalties.

    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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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, goals, assumptions and statements that may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These projections, goals, assumptions 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, goals, assumptions and statements include statements preceded by, followed by or including words such as "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "view," "target" or "estimate". These projections, goals, assumptions and statements may address, among other things:

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

American International Group, Inc.

    AIG is not under any obligation (and expressly disclaims any obligation) to update or alter any projections, goals, assumptions or other statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms AIG, the Company, we, us, and our mean AIG and its consolidated subsidiaries.


USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

    Throughout this MD&A, AIG presents its operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful and representative of ongoing operations as well as most transparent. Certain of the measurements used by AIG management are "non-GAAP financial measures" under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations.

    Management believes that the measures described at Results of Operations — Segment Results enhance the understanding of the underlying profitability of the ongoing operations of the businesses and allow for more meaningful comparisons with AIG's insurance competitors. Reconciliations of these measures to pre-tax income, the most directly comparable measurement derived from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), are included in Results of Operations — Segment Results.


EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

    This executive overview of management's discussion and analysis highlights selected information and may not contain all of the information that is important to current or potential investors in AIG's securities. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in its entirety, together with the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a complete description of events, trends and uncertainties as well as the capital, liquidity, credit, operational and market risks, and the critical accounting estimates affecting AIG and its subsidiaries.

    AIG reports its results of operations as follows:

PRIOR PERIOD REVISIONS

    Prior period amounts have been revised to reflect the following:

Accounting for Deferred Acquisition Costs

    As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, AIG retrospectively adopted an accounting standard on January 1, 2012 that amends the accounting for costs incurred by insurance companies that can be capitalized in connection with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts.

Chartis Segment Changes

    To align financial reporting with changes made during 2012 to the manner in which AIG's chief operating decision makers review the businesses to assess performance and make decisions about resources to be allocated, certain products previously reported in Commercial Insurance were reclassified to Consumer Insurance. These revisions did not affect the total Chartis segment results previously reported.


FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

    Income from continuing operations before income taxes in 2012 of $4.6 billion primarily consists of:

    Pre-tax income from insurance operations reflected Chartis' continued benefit from growth in higher value lines of businesses and geographies and improving pricing trends. Chartis results included catastrophe losses of

84            AIG 2012 Form 10-Q


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

$80 million and net prior year adverse development of $66 million in the first quarter of 2012. SunAmerica is benefiting from its broad portfolio of competitive products, diverse and strong distribution relationships, and continued discipline in product pricing. SunAmerica results benefited from the reinvestment of cash in 2011 and positive equity market performance in the first quarter of 2012. Partially offsetting SunAmerica's improvements were lower returns from hedge funds and private equity investments in the first quarter of 2012.

    Loss from continuing operations before income taxes in 2011 of $1.3 billion primarily consisted of:

    In 2011, AIG recorded income from discontinued operations net of taxes of $2.6 billion, which included a pre-tax gain of $3.5 billion recorded in the first quarter of 2011 on the sale of AIG Star Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (AIG Star) and AIG Edison Life Insurance Company (AIG Edison).


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

    In the first quarter of 2012, AIG paid down the remaining preferred interests in the AIA Group Limited (AIA) special purpose vehicle (the AIA SPV, and such interests, the AIA SPV Preferred Interests) held by the Department of the Treasury. In addition, the Department of the Treasury, as selling shareholder, completed a registered public offering (the Offering) of AIG common stock, par value $2.50 per share (AIG Common Stock), in which it sold approximately 207 million shares of AIG Common Stock for aggregate proceeds of $6.0 billion. AIG purchased approximately 103 million shares of AIG Common Stock in the Offering for an aggregate purchase amount of approximately $3.0 billion. As a result of the Department of the Treasury's sale of AIG Common Stock and AIG's purchase of shares in the Offering, ownership by the Department of the Treasury was reduced from approximately 77 percent to approximately 70 percent of the AIG Common Stock outstanding after the completion of the Offering. AIG expects that the Department of the Treasury will seek to further reduce its ownership interest in AIG over time through additional secondary offerings or open market sales. Depending upon market conditions, available capital resources and liquidity, and any repurchase authorization then available, AIG may determine to participate as a purchaser in such secondary offerings.

    See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries herein for further discussion and other capital resources and liquidity developments.


OUTLOOK

PRIORITIES FOR 2012

    AIG remains committed to its long-term aspirational goals and is focused on the following priorities for 2012:

AIG 2012 Form 10-Q            85


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.


REGULATORY

    On October 18, 2011, the Financial Stability Oversight Council (the FSOC) published a second notice of proposed rulemaking and related interpretive guidance under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) regarding the designation of non-bank systemically important financial institutions (SIFIs). On April 3, 2012, the FSOC formally adopted the rule in substantially the same form as proposed. The rule sets forth a three-stage determination process for designating non-bank SIFIs. In Stage 1, FSOC would apply a set of uniform quantitative thresholds to identify the nonbank financial companies that will be subject to further evaluation. AIG expects that the FSOC will make its Stage 1 identifications before the end of 2012. Based on its financial condition as of March 31, 2012, AIG would meet the criteria in Stage 1 and would be subject to further evaluation by the FSOC in the SIFI determination process. Because Stages 2 and 3 would involve qualitative judgment by the FSOC, AIG cannot predict whether it would be designated as a non-bank SIFI under the rule.

    AIG's insurance companies, like other insurers, are subject to regulation and supervision by the states and jurisdictions in which they do business. State regulation relates primarily to financial condition as well as corporate conduct and market conduct activities; in particular, states have also become increasingly aggressive in using escheatment laws to seek recovery of unclaimed life insurance benefits. There are a number of proposals to amend state insurance laws and regulations, and a review of insurance solvency regulation throughout the U.S. regulatory system, which could significantly affect AIG's insurance businesses. At the federal level, Dodd-Frank will subject AIG's insurance subsidiaries, investment advisors, broker-dealers and their affiliates to additional federal regulation. In addition, regulators and lawmakers around the world are developing recommendations to address issues such as financial group supervision, corporate governance, enterprise risk management, capital and solvency standards, and related issues, which could potentially affect AIG and its subsidiaries.

    In March 2011, federal regulators, as required by Dodd-Frank, issued a proposed risk retention rule that included a definition of a Qualified Residential Mortgage (QRM) in respect of which issuers of asset-backed securities would not be subject to certain risk retention requirements. The QRM definition included, among other standards, a maximum loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 80 percent for a home purchase transaction. The LTV is calculated without imputing any benefit from private mortgage insurance coverage that may be purchased for that loan. The final regulations could adversely impact UGC's volume of domestic first-lien new insurance written, depending on the final definition of a QRM, the maximum LTV allowed and the benefit, if any, ascribed to private mortgage insurance.


CHARTIS

    Given the continued global economic environment and current property and casualty market conditions, 2012 is expected to remain challenging, but improving trends in certain key indicators may offset some of the challenges. Beginning in the second quarter of 2011, Chartis has observed continuing positive pricing trends, particularly in its U.S. commercial business. In certain growth economies such as Brazil, Turkey, India, and Asia Pacific countries, Chartis continues to expect improved growth.

Strategy

    Chartis continues to make strides in its strategy to further grow its higher value and less capital intensive lines of business, and to implement corrective actions on underperforming businesses. Management continues to review the businesses to evaluate their contribution to overall performance objectives.

86            AIG 2012 Form 10-Q


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

    Chartis seeks to provide value for people and businesses worldwide through the identification and efficient management of risk. In pursuing this mission and in growing its intrinsic value, Chartis has established strategic initiatives in several key areas. Initiatives in these areas are helping Chartis to direct its capital and resources to optimize financial results, while acknowledging that performance in these areas may vary from quarter to quarter depending upon local market conditions, such as pricing and the effects of foreign exchange rates or changes in the investment environment.

AIG 2012 Form 10-Q            87


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

Capital Deployment

    In 2012, Chartis expects to continue to execute capital management initiatives by enhancing broad-based risk tolerance guidelines for its operating units and executing underwriting and reinsurance strategies to improve capital ratios and reduce volatility, increase return on equity by line of business and reduce exposure to businesses with inadequate pricing and increased loss trends.

    Chartis continues to streamline its legal entity structure, to enhance transparency with regulators and optimize capital and tax efficiency. During 2012, Chartis completed 18 legal entity restructuring transactions. In preparation for Solvency II compliance, Chartis Ireland was merged into Chartis Europe Limited as the first step towards achieving the overall plan to create a single Pan-European insurance carrier that will simplify the legal entity structure in Europe by the end of 2012, subject to regulatory approvals.

Investments

    For 2012, Chartis expects to continue to refine its investment strategy, which includes asset diversification and yield-enhancement opportunities that meet Chartis' liquidity, duration and credit quality objectives as well as current risk-return and tax objectives.

    See Segment Results — Chartis Operations — Chartis Results — Chartis Investing and Other Results and Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.


SUNAMERICA

    SunAmerica continues to pursue its goals of expanding the breadth and depth of its distribution relationships, introducing competitive new products and product enhancements, disciplined life insurance underwriting, maintaining a high quality investment portfolio and strong statutory surplus, proactively managing expenses and, subject to regulatory approval, continuing to make distributions to AIG Parent. SunAmerica expects to continue to make progress on all of these efforts in 2012.

Business Environment

88            AIG 2012 Form 10-Q


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

Organizational Realignment

    On April 12, 2012, SunAmerica announced several key organizational structure and management changes intended to better serve the organization's distribution partners and customers. Key aspects of the new structure are distinct product divisions, shared annuity and life operations platforms and a unified all-channel distribution organization with access to all SunAmerica products.

Variable Annuities

    SunAmerica variable annuity sales increased as various distribution partners, including SunAmerica's largest pre-financial-crisis variable annuity distribution partner, resumed sales of SunAmerica's products during 2011. As a result of broader distribution opportunities, SunAmerica expects variable annuity sales to remain strong in 2012.

    SunAmerica has a dynamic hedging program designed to manage economic risk exposure associated with changes in the fair value of embedded derivative liabilities contained in certain variable annuity contracts, caused by changes in the equity markets, interest rates and market implied volatilities. SunAmerica substantially hedges its exposure to equity markets. However, due to regulatory capital considerations, a significant portion of the interest rate exposure is unhedged. In the first quarter of 2012, SunAmerica began purchasing U.S. Treasury notes as a capital-efficient strategy to reduce this interest rate risk exposure over time.

    In amortizing DAC, value of business acquired (VOBA) and sales inducement assets (SIA), SunAmerica uses a reversion to mean methodology to account for fluctuations in separate account returns for its variable annuity business. Favorable separate account returns could trigger a favorable unlocking, where the reversion to mean assumption is reset. If current favorable equity market returns continue in 2012, such an unlocking could occur later in 2012. Such positive unlocking is not expected to be significant to SunAmerica's operating results but could result in higher amortization amounts in future periods.

Fixed Annuities

    Changes in the interest rate environment affect the relative attractiveness of fixed annuities compared to alternative products. If the low interest rate environment continues, SunAmerica expects fixed annuities sales (including deposits into fixed options within variable annuities sold in group retirement markets) to continue to be below 2011 levels for the remainder of 2012.

Life Insurance

    SunAmerica's strategic focus for mortality-based products includes disciplined underwriting, active expense management and product innovation. SunAmerica's distribution strategy is to grow new sales by strengthening the core retail independent and career agent distributor channels, expanding its market presence to additional channels and niche markets, and making investments in enhanced service technology.

    SunAmerica's retail life sales continued to show strong growth, increasing 7 percent during the first three months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Term life sales have increased, while the economic environment has put pressure on the sales of universal life products, which typically have higher annual premiums than term products and also offer additional features.

    The direct-to-consumer channel has proven effective for the distribution of term life policies and A&H products, and provides opportunities to bring innovative product solutions to the market that take advantage of new underwriting technologies. Sales of SunAmerica's term life policies through its affiliated Matrix Direct channel in the first quarter of 2012 were up more than 50 percent compared to the same period in 2011, due in part to the shift toward selling proprietary products. The career distribution channel is focused on improving agent retention and productivity through improved point-of-sale technologies.

American International Group, Inc.

Interest Crediting Rates

    The contractual provisions for renewal of crediting rates and guaranteed minimum crediting rates included in SunAmerica products may have the effect, in a continued low interest rate environment, of reducing SunAmerica's spreads and thus reducing future profitability. SunAmerica partially mitigates this interest rate risk through its asset-liability management process, product design elements, and crediting rate strategies. A prolonged low interest rate environment may, nevertheless, negatively affect spreads on interest-sensitive business.

    As of March 31, 2012, the majority of assets backing insurance liabilities consisted of intermediate- and long-term fixed maturity securities. SunAmerica generally purchases assets with the intent of matching expected maturities of the insurance liabilities. An extended low interest rate environment may result in a lengthening of maturities from initial estimates, primarily due to lower lapses. Opportunistic investments in structured securities continue to be made to improve yields, increase net investment income and help to offset the impact of the lower interest rate environment.

    SunAmerica's annuity and universal life products were designed with contractual provisions that allow crediting rates to be re-set at pre-established intervals subject to minimum crediting rate guarantees. Therefore, on new business currently written, as well as on in-force business above minimum guarantees, SunAmerica has adjusted, and will continue to adjust, crediting rates in order to maintain targeted interest rate spreads.

    New fixed annuity sales have declined in the first quarter of 2012 relative to the same period in the prior year, as consumers appeared reluctant to purchase such annuities at the relatively lower crediting rates offered. However, even in the current interest rate environment, SunAmerica continues to pursue new sales at targeted interest rate spreads. These annuity products generally have minimum interest rate guarantees at 1 percent. Universal life insurance interest rate guarantees are generally 2 to 3 percent on new non-indexed products and 1 percent on new indexed products, and are designed to be sufficient to meet targeted interest spreads when considering the returns of invested proceeds.

    As a result of these actions, SunAmerica estimates that if interest rates remain at or near current levels through the end of 2013, full year 2012 and 2013 pre-tax operating income will not be materially impacted.

    As indicated in the table below, approximately 51 percent of SunAmerica's annuity and universal life account values are at their minimum crediting rates as of March 31, 2012. These products have minimum guaranteed interest rates as of March 31, 2012 ranging from 1.0 percent to 5.5 percent, with the higher rates representing older product guarantees.

The following table presents account values by range of current minimum guaranteed interest rates and current crediting rates for SunAmerica's universal life and deferred fixed annuity products and fixed account options of variable annuity products:

    In addition to the products discussed above, certain traditional long-duration products for which SunAmerica does not have the ability to adjust interest rates, such as payout annuities, are exposed to reduced earnings and potential losses in a prolonged low interest rate environment.


AIRCRAFT LEASING

    On September 2, 2011, ILFC Holdings, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AIG, which is intended to become a holding company for ILFC, filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC for a proposed initial public offering. The number of shares to be offered, price range and timing for any offering have not been determined. The timing of any offering will depend on market conditions and no assurance can be given regarding the terms of any offering or that an offering will be completed.

    Challenges in the global economy, including the European sovereign debt crisis, political uncertainty in the Middle East, and sustained higher fuel prices, have negatively impacted many airlines' profitability, cash flows and liquidity, and increased the probability that some airlines, including ILFC customers, will cease operations or file for bankruptcy. During the first three months of 2012, ILFC has had four lessees cease operations or file for bankruptcy (or its equivalent) and these lessees returned 42 aircraft to ILFC. As of April 27, 2012, 28 aircraft have been committed to new leases, 10 are intended for part-out, one has been sold and three remain to be re-leased. Future events, including a prolonged recession, ongoing uncertainty regarding the European sovereign debt crisis, political unrest, continued weak consumer demand, high fuel prices, or restricted availability of credit to the aviation industry could lead to the weakening or cessation of operations of additional airlines, which in turn would adversely affect ILFC's earnings and cash flows.

Global Capital Markets

    The remaining AIGFP portfolio is managed opportunistically, consistent with AIG's risk management objectives. Although the portfolio may experience periodic fair value volatility, it consists predominantly of transactions AIG believes are of low complexity, low risk or currently not economically appropriate to unwind based on a cost versus benefit analysis.

Direct Investment Book

    MIP assets and liabilities and certain non-derivative assets and liabilities of AIGFP (collectively the Direct Investment book or DIB) are currently managed collectively on a single program basis to limit the need for additional liquidity from AIG Parent. Liquidity requirements for the DIB are managed by transferring cash between AIG Parent and AIGFP as needed.

    Program management is focused on winding down this portfolio over time, and reducing and managing its liquidity needs, including the need for contingent liquidity arising from collateral posting, for both derivative and debt positions of the DIB. As part of this program management, AIG may from time to time access the capital markets, subject to market conditions. In addition, AIG may seek to buy back debt or sell assets on an opportunistic basis, subject to market conditions.

    Certain non-derivative assets and liabilities of the DIB are accounted for under the fair value option and thus operating results are subject to periodic market volatility.

Retained Interests

    Retained Interests may continue to experience volatility due to fair value gains or losses on the AIA ordinary shares and the retained interests in ML III. At March 31, 2012, AIG owned approximately 19 percent of the outstanding shares of AIA. A change of one Hong Kong dollar in AIA's share price would result in an approximate $289 million change in AIG's pre-tax income.

    Significant factors affecting items for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are discussed below.

Premiums and Policy Fees

    Premiums were consistent with the prior year period and primarily reflect a four percent decline in net premiums written at Chartis that was offset by the change in unearned premiums in 2012. The decline in Chartis net premiums written is primarily attributable to declines in Casualty classes of business in Commercial Insurance that were partially offset by increases in each of the Consumer Insurance lines of business. These results reflect Chartis' strategy to improve pricing and grow in higher value, less volatile lines of business and geographies. See additional discussion regarding Chartis net premiums written at Chartis Results — Chartis Net Premiums Written.

    Policy fees increased slightly due to higher variable annuity living benefit fees.

Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

    AIG recognized lower net realized capital losses due to the following:

    These gains were partially offset by the following:

Aircraft Leasing Revenues and Expenses

    Aircraft leasing revenue decreased slightly, primarily due to the impact of lower lease revenue earned on re-leased aircraft in its fleet and the limited delivery schedule of new aircraft over the past year, offset by an increase from the consolidation of AeroTurbine. In 2012, ILFC's average fleet size remained relatively stable compared to 2011.

    ILFC recorded impairment charges, fair value adjustments and lease-related charges of $55 million in 2012 compared to $113 million in 2011. See Segment Results — Aircraft Leasing Operations — Aircraft Leasing Results for additional information.

Other Income and Expenses

    The decline in Other income was driven by:

    Other expenses increased in 2012 due to ongoing corporate initiatives and higher compensation expense.

Policyholder Benefits and Claims Incurred

    Policyholder benefits and claims incurred decreased as a result of higher catastrophe losses for Chartis in 2011 primarily due to the Tohoku Catastrophe in Japan and earthquakes in New Zealand.

Acquisition Costs and Insurance Expenses

    Amortization of deferred acquisition costs increased primarily due to Chartis' continued strategy to grow higher margin Consumer Insurance business, which carries higher acquisition costs than Commercial Insurance, and change in mix of business to more profitable lines with higher acquistion costs.

96            AIG 2012 Form 10-Q


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

    Other acquisition and insurance expenses increased as a result of increases in bad debt expense, compensation expense and expenses related to strategic initiatives for Chartis, and as a result of a decrease in the benefit from the amortization of VOBA liabilities arising from the Fuji acquisition.

Interest Expense

    Interest expense decreased primarily as a result of the repayment and termination of the FRBNY Credit Facility on January 14, 2011. Interest expense on the FRBNY Credit Facility was $72 million in 2011 through the date of termination, including amortization of the prepaid commitment fee asset of $48 million.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

    The loss on extinguishment of debt for 2011 included a $3.3 billion charge consisting of the accelerated amortization of the remaining prepaid commitment fee asset resulting from the termination of the FRBNY Credit Facility.

Income Taxes

Interim Tax Calculation Method

    AIG uses the estimated annual effective tax rate method in computing its interim tax provision. Certain items, including those deemed to be unusual, infrequent or that cannot be reliably estimated, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. In these cases, the actual tax expense or benefit applicable to that item is treated discretely, and is reported in the same period as the related item. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the tax effects of the gains on Maiden Lane II LLC (ML II) and certain dispositions, including a portion of the ordinary shares of AIA and the common units of The Blackstone Group L.P., as well as certain actual and projected gains on SunAmerica's available-for-sale securities were treated as discrete items.

Interim Tax Expense (Benefit)

    For the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the effective tax rate on pretax income from continuing operations was 25.0 percent. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 attributable to continuing operations differs from the statutory tax rate of 35 percent primarily due to tax effects associated with tax exempt interest income and investments in partnerships, and a decrease in the life insurance business capital loss carryforward valuation allowance primarily attributable to the actual and projected gains on sales of SunAmerica's available-for sale-securities.

    For the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, the effective tax rate on pretax loss from continuing operations was 17.3 percent. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 attributable to continuing operations differed from the statutory rate of 35 percent primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance attributable to continuing operations for the U.S. consolidated income tax group, tax effects associated with tax exempt interest income, investments in partnerships, and changes in uncertain tax positions.

    See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Discontinued Operations

    Results from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 include a pre-tax gain of $3.5 billion on the sale of AIG Star and AIG Edison. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

SEGMENT RESULTS

    AIG presents and discusses its financial information in the following manner, which it believes is most meaningful to its financial statement users:

    Results from discontinued operations are excluded from these measures.

    AIG believes that these measures allow for a better assessment and enhanced 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.

Chartis Operations

    Chartis presents its financial information in two operating segments — Commercial Insurance and Consumer Insurance, as well as a Chartis Other category. Chartis Other consists primarily of certain run-off lines of business, including Excess Workers' Compensation written on a stand-alone basis, and Asbestos and environmental (1986 and prior). It also includes certain Chartis expenses relating to global initiatives, expense allocations from AIG Parent not attributable to the Commercial Insurance or Consumer Insurance operating segments, unallocated net investment income and realized capital gains and losses.

    The historical Chartis financial information has been revised to reflect the reclassification of certain products that were previously reported in the Commercial Insurance operating segment to the Consumer Insurance operating segment. This change aligns the financial reporting with the changes made during 2012 to the manner in which AIG's chief operating decision makers review the Chartis segment to assess performance and make decisions about resources to be allocated. These revisions did not impact the total Chartis reportable segment results previously reported.

    Complementing this structure, Chartis is organized into the following three regions:

    On January 25, 2012, Chartis acquired Service Net Warranty LLC (Service Net). Service Net is a service management company that delivers a full range of industry-leading service solutions in the United States, including warranty management administration, extended service programs, customer service support, service network management, claims processing services, and service contract underwriting. The acquisition of Service Net provides value-added services to Chartis' warranty clients by adding access to an integrated repair and service network. Chartis has integrated Service Net into its Consumer Insurance operating segment. This acquisition did not have a significant effect on 2012 results.

    Operating income in 2012 was $1.0 billion, compared to a $424 million operating loss in 2011. The increase in operating income primarily reflected lower catastrophe losses and the impact of underwriting improvements related to rate increases and enhanced risk selection, partially offset by higher expenses. Catastrophe losses in 2012 were $80 million, compared with $1.7 billion in 2011. Net prior year adverse reserve development was $66 million in 2012, compared with $23 million in 2011.


Chartis Net Premiums Written

    Net premiums written are the sales of an insurer, adjusted for reinsurance premiums assumed and ceded, during a given period. Net premiums earned are the revenue of an insurer for covering risk during a given period. Net premiums written are a measure of performance for a sales period while net premiums earned are a measure of performance for a coverage period. From the period in which the premiums are written until the period in which they are earned, the amount is presented as a component of unearned premiums in the consolidated balance sheet.

    The Americas net premiums written decreased as expected primarily due to the restructuring of the loss sensitive Casualty book of business. This was partially offset by continued growth in Consumer Insurance. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange, net premiums written decreased by 5.5 percent.

    Asia Pacific net premiums written increased due to Consumer Insurance leveraging the acquisition of Fuji to continue expansion of new production across its distribution channels and customer base. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange, net premiums written grew by 0.9 percent.

    EMEA net premiums written decreased primarily due to the execution of Commercial Insurance's strategies of increased underwriting discipline, particularly in primary casualty, and rate strengthening initiatives. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange, net premiums written decreased by 5.9 percent.

Loss Ratios

    The decrease in the loss ratio reflects the decreased catastrophe losses, as shown in the table below, coupled with the benefit from positive pricing trends and the execution of Chartis' strategic initiatives, including business mix changes and risk selection. The loss ratio in the prior year was primarily impacted by the Tohoku Catastrophe in Japan and the earthquakes in New Zealand.

    In 2012, prior year adverse development is due to the net impact of claims emergence in Casualty reserves, offset by beneficial development from catastrophe-related reserves of $148 million. In 2011, prior year adverse development is due to the net impact of claims emergence in non-catastrophic reserves, offset by beneficial development from catastrophes of $40 million. The increase in the beneficial development from catastrophe-related reserves is due primarily to the unique severity of 2011 catastrophes.

Expense Ratios

    The expense ratio increased by 5.2 points compared to 2011. In 2012, expenses increased by $99 million due to additional bad debt allowances of approximately $55 million, compared to a reduction in 2011 of approximately $44 million. In addition, the benefit from the amortization of VOBA liabilities for Fuji decreased by approximately $62 million. These two items contributed approximately 1.9 points to the expense ratio increase. Expenses increased by approximately 2.0 points due to increased acquisition costs resulting from changes in business mix and higher commission rates. Consumer Insurance generally has higher acquisition costs than Commercial Insurance, but management expects that over time this business mix change will result in relatively lower loss ratios and improved combined ratios.

    Chartis also continued to invest in a number of strategic initiatives during 2012, including the implementation of global finance and information systems, preparation for Solvency II compliance and certain other legal entity restructuring initiatives. Such investments totaled $49 million in 2012, representing an increase of approximately $24 million over 2011. Chartis incurred higher personnel costs, as it continued to attract, retain and develop its human capital and to better align employee performance with Chartis and AIG strategic goals. These items contributed 1.0 point to the expense ratio increase.

    Chartis manages and accounts for its invested assets on a legal entity basis in conformity with regulatory requirements. Within a legal entity, invested assets are available to pay claims and expenses of both Commercial and Consumer Insurance operating segments as well as Chartis Other. Invested assets are not segregated or otherwise separately indentified for the Commercial and Consumer Insurance operating segments.

    Investment income is allocated to the Commercial Insurance and Consumer Insurance operating segments based on an internal investment income allocation model. The model estimates investable funds based upon the loss reserves, unearned premium and a capital allocation for each segment. The investment income allocation is calculated based on the estimated investable funds and risk-free yields (plus an illiquidity premium) consistent with the approximate duration of the liabilities. The actual yields in excess of the allocated amounts and the investment income from the assets not attributable to the Commercial Insurance and Consumer Insurance operating segments are assigned to Chartis Other.

Net Investment Income

    Net investment income increased due to increases in interest income on fixed maturity securities driven by the redeployment of excess cash and short-term investments into longer term and higher yield securities during the second half of 2011. Net investment income also increased by $18 million due to U.S. group benefits strategy with American General, all of which is reported in Consumer Insurance.

    These increases were offset by:

The increase in operating income reflected lower catastrophe losses and the impact of underwriting improvements related to rate increases and enhanced risk selection, partially offset by higher expenses. Expenses increased primarily as a result of higher acquisition costs and the items described above. Catastrophe losses in 2012 were $76 million, compared with $1.2 billion in 2011. Net prior year adverse reserve development was $48 million in 2012, compared with net prior year favorable reserve development of $17 million in 2011.

Commercial Insurance Net Premiums Written

    In 2012, Commercial Insurance continued to concentrate on growing higher value business. The decline in net premiums written was primarily due to the Casualty line of business. This is consistent with Chartis' business strategy to improve pricing and loss ratios and to non-renew business that does not meet Chartis' internal performance or operating targets. Retentions are in line with management's expectations based on the execution of these strategic initiatives.

The improvement in accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, reflects the results of the execution of the strategic initiatives on Commercial Insurance lines of businesses. The Specialty line benefited from a change in business mix and rate increases. Enhanced risk selection improved loss ratios for the Property line. Partially offsetting these benefits, the

accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, increased by approximately 1.0 point due to a provision for a reinsurance recoverable dispute within the Specialty Line.

    Catastrophes in 2012 were $76 million, primarily due to tornadoes in Alabama during January 2012 and the late winter storms in the U.S. Midwest. This compares to $1.2 billion in 2011, primarily related to the Tohoku Catastrophe and the earthquakes in New Zealand.

Expense Ratios

    The expense ratio increased in the current period by 5.7 points, primarily due to additional bad debt allowance of approximately $56 million, compared to a reduction in 2011 of approximately $37 million. This contributed approximately 1.8 points to the expense ratio increase. In addition, the expense ratio increased by approximately 3.0 points due to higher acquisition costs primarily as a result of change in business mix. The remainder of the expense ratio increase was primarily due to higher personnel costs.


Consumer Insurance

    Consumer Insurance provides personal insurance solutions for individuals, organizations and families. Consumer product lines are distributed through agents and brokers, as well as through direct marketing, partner organizations and the internet. Consumer Insurance products are categorized into two major lines of business:

    Growing higher margin Consumer Insurance business continues to be a key Chartis strategy. The Consumer Insurance lines of business experienced positive growth in 2012. Management continued to emphasize the growth of the direct marketing channel. Although the direct marketing channel requires significant initial investment, it enables the establishment of customer relationships that can be repeatedly leveraged in the future.

    Operating income in 2012 was $234 million, compared to a $255 million operating loss in 2011, reflecting lower catastrophe losses and the effect of rate increases and underwriting improvements related to enhanced risk selection and portfolio management, partially offset by higher expenses. Expenses increased primarily as a result of a decrease in the benefit from the amortization of VOBA liabilities arising from the Fuji acquisition and change in mix of business to more profitable lines with higher acquisition costs. Catastrophe losses in 2012 were $4 million, compared with $489 million in 2011. Net prior year favorable development was $14 million in 2012, compared with negligible net prior year development in 2011.

Consumer Insurance Net Premiums Written

    The Consumer Insurance business continued to grow its net premiums written and continued to build momentum towards future growth through its multiple distribution channels, and special focus on the growth economy nations. Consumer Insurance is well-diversified across the major lines of business and has global franchises.

    The proportion of net premiums written between A&H and Personal Lines was relatively constant year-over-year. Each of the lines of business exhibited positive growth: A&H grew by approximately 5.0 percent and Personal lines grew by approximately 6.0 percent. Management continued to emphasize the growth of the direct marketing channel, which accounts for 15 percent of overall net premiums written. Total global direct marketing spending outside the Americas region has increased by approximately 21 percent from 2011. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, total Consumer Insurance net premiums written growth was 2.9 percent.

    A&H net premiums written increased due to the implementation of the U.S. group benefits strategy with American General, direct marketing programs in Japan, and growth in individual personal accident insurance in China. This was slightly offset by a portfolio adjustment effort to maintain underwriting discipline, particularly in voluntary personal accident insurance. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, net premiums written growth was 3.4 percent.

    Personal Lines net premiums written increased primarily due to the execution of Chartis' strategic initiative to grow higher margin lines of business including warranty business and personal property, both of which grew faster than automobile business. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, net premiums written growth was 2.4 percent.

    Americas net premiums written increased primarily due to U.S. personal accident business for associations, the aforementioned U.S. group benefits strategy, personal property and warranty growth. This growth was partially offset by the reduction in certain business which did not meet internal performance targets. Overall, direct marketing accounts for 7 percent of net premiums written for the region. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange, net premiums written grew 13.2 percent.

    Asia Pacific net premiums written increased as a result of leveraging the acquisition of Fuji to continue expansion of new production across its distribution channels and customer base. The expansion in Asia Pacific countries, outside of Japan, continued, supported by growth in direct marketing activities and growth in individual personal accident insurance in China. Overall, direct marketing accounts for 17 percent of net premiums written for the region. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange, net premiums written grew 1.2 percent.

    EMEA net premiums written decreased as a result of underwriting discipline and rate strengthening. Management continues to build its direct marketing programs, which account for 23 percent of the region's net premiums written. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange, net premiums written declined 1.7 percent.

Loss Ratios

    The Consumer Insurance loss ratio improved primarily due to fewer catastrophe losses and a benefit from refinements to certain actuarial assumptions within the A&H line of business. Management continues to focus on further improving the loss performance of the portfolio by taking underwriting actions, where necessary, to meet internal performance or operating targets. Consumer Insurance recorded net prior year favorable loss development of $14 million, primarily related to the Tohoku Catastrophe, which compares to negligible net prior year loss development in 2011.

Expense Ratios

    The expense ratio increased in the current period by 3.0 points primarily due to the decrease in the benefit from the amortization of VOBA liabilities from the acquisition of Fuji, coupled with increased acquisition and operating expenses to grow key lines of business across a number of geographic areas.


Chartis Other

    Chartis Other consists primarily of certain run-off lines of business, including Excess Workers' Compensation, written on a stand-alone basis, and Asbestos and environmental products (1986 and prior), certain Chartis expenses relating to global corporate initiatives, expense allocations from AIG Parent not attributable to the Commercial Insurance or Consumer Insurance operating segments, unallocated net investment income and realized capital gains and losses.

Underwriting Results

    Given the run-off nature of the legacy lines of business and the nature of the expenses included in Chartis Other, management has determined that the traditional underwriting measures of loss ratio, expense ratio and combined ratio do not provide an appropriate measure of underwriting performance. Therefore, underwriting ratios are not presented for Chartis Other.

    Substantially all premiums relate to the Excess Workers' Compensation line of business. During 2011, as part of its ongoing initiatives to reduce exposure to capital intensive long-tail lines, Chartis determined to cease writing Excess Workers' Compensation business on a stand-alone basis. This line of business is subject to premium audits (upon the expiration of the underlying policy) and as a result, Chartis Other will reflect the effects of premium audit activity through subsequent years.

    The current year reflects prior year development, primarily from Environmental (1986 and prior), and change in the reserve discount. In the prior year, claims and claim adjustment expenses primarily included adverse prior year development on global asbestos-related claims, as well as current accident year losses in the Excess Workers' compensation line of business.

    AIG's gross loss reserves represent the accumulation of estimates of ultimate losses, including estimates for 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 recoverables, net of an allowance for unrecoverable reinsurance and applicable discount for future investment income.

Discounting of Reserves

    At March 31, 2012, net loss reserves reflect a loss reserve discount of $3.2 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 other asbestos business that was written by Chartis is discounted based on the investment yields of the companies and the payout pattern for this business. The discount consists of the following: $777 million — tabular discount for workers' compensation in the domestic operations of Chartis and $2.32 billion — non-tabular discount for workers' compensation in the domestic operations of Chartis; and $69 million — non-tabular discount for asbestos for Chartis.


Quarterly Reserving Process

    AIG believes that its net loss reserves are adequate to cover net losses and loss expenses as of March 31, 2012. 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 March 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, such adverse development and resulting increase in reserves are not likely to have a material adverse effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition, although such events 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. AIG conducted reserve analyses in 2012 to determine the loss development from prior accident years. As part of its reserving process, AIG also considers notices of claims received with respect to emerging and/or evolving issues, such as those related to changes in the legal, regulatory, judicial and social environment, changes in medical cost trends (inflation, intensity and utilization of medical services), underlying policy pricing, terms and conditions, and claims handling practices.

    In 2012, the net unfavorable development was offset by additional premiums on loss-sensitive business of $6 million. The net favorable development in 2011 was further enhanced by additional premiums on loss-sensitive business of $37 million.

    As noted in the tables above, Chartis experienced adverse development in 2012, primarily in its Excess casualty and Environmental lines, that was largely offset by net favorable development in reserves for natural catastrophes.

    The development in the Excess casualty line was primarily related to higher than expected claims emergence in general liability classes, as well as a portfolio that provided general liability coverage to public entities, which is in runoff.

    The development in the Environmental line was primarily attributable to claims increases in three major categories:

    The net favorable development in the current quarter on reserves for natural catastrophes, primarily the Tohoku Catastrophe, was due to lower than expected contingent business interruption claims on local Japan commercial accounts and favorable development in the energy sector.

    See Chartis Results herein and Other Operations — Other Operations Results — Mortgage Guaranty 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 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, AIG's reserves relating to asbestos and environmental claims reflect a comprehensive ground-up analysis performed annually. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, a minor amount of incurred loss pertaining to the asbestos loss reserve discount and a moderate adjustment to the environmental gross and net reserves are reflected in the table below.

    In addition to the U.S. asbestos and environmental reserve amounts shown in the tables below, Chartis also has asbestos reserves relating to foreign risks written by non-U.S. entities of $236 million gross and $166 million net reserves as of March 31, 2012. Similar amounts were held at December 31, 2011.

The number of environmental claims dismissed or otherwise resolved, increased substantially during 2012 as a result of Chartis' determination that certain methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) claims presented no further potential for exposure since these underlying claims were resolved through dismissal, settlement, or trial for all of the accounts involved. All of these accounts were fully reserved at the account level and included adequate reserves for those underlying individual claims that contributed to the actual losses. These individual claim closings, therefore, had no impact on Chartis' environmental reserves.

Survival Ratios — Asbestos and Environmental

    The following table presents AIG's survival ratios for asbestos and environmental claims at March 31, 2012 and 2011. 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 take before the current ending loss reserves for these claims would be paid off using recent year average payments.

    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 is 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 survival ratios for asbestos and environmental claims, separately and combined, which were based upon a three-year average payment:

American International Group, Inc.

    SunAmerica reported an increase in operating income in 2012 compared to 2011, reflecting higher net investment income, lower DAC amortization and lower policyholder benefit expense in SunAmerica's variable annuity business due to stronger equity market conditions, and $43 million of additional DAC amortization in 2011 as a result of an unlocking. These increases were partially offset by less favorable mortality experience in 2012.

    The increase in net investment income reflected an increase in base yields of 46 basis points, due to the reinvestment of significant amounts of cash and short term investments during 2011. Together with continued active crediting rate management, this resulted in higher base spreads across all of SunAmerica's spread-based annuity businesses. In addition to the increase from reinvestment, net investment income compared to the same quarter of 2011 reflected the following items:

    In a weak equity market, SunAmerica increases policyholder benefit reserves to recognize the expected value of death benefits in excess of the projected account balance for certain guaranteed benefits features of variable annuities. DAC related to these products may also be adjusted through amortization expense to reflect updates of future estimated gross profits due to changes in equity market assumptions. The effect of short-term fluctuations in the equity markets on the estimated gross profits of variable products is mitigated in part through the use of a reversion to mean methodology for estimating future gross profits. Under this methodology, SunAmerica assumes a long-term growth rate for the assets backing these liabilities, which factors in potential short-term fluctuations in the financial markets, and if the long-term growth rate assumption is deemed to be unreasonable in light of the current market conditions, the long-term growth rate assumption is revised upward or downward to reflect the revised estimate. SunAmerica did not make any changes to its long-term growth rate assumptions in 2011 or 2012. The effect of positive equity market performance resulted in $52 million lower DAC amortization and policyholder benefit expenses in 2012 compared to 2011.

    Pre-tax income for SunAmerica included a $246 million increase in net realized capital losses, due to higher other-than-temporary impairments and higher fair value losses on variable annuity embedded derivatives due to declining credit spreads, partially offset by higher gains from the sale of investments.

    The sale of securities in unrealized gain positions that support certain payout annuity products, and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds at generally lower yields, triggered loss recognition of $87 million in the first quarter of 2012, which was reported as a component of Benefit of DAC, VOBA, SIA and adjustments to reserves related to net realized capital losses. These sales effectively shifted some future investment margins to current period realized gains, ultimately resulting in projected future losses in conjunction with a review of other key assumptions that have changed since issuance of the supported products, including expected investment returns and mortality. As part of a program to utilize capital loss tax carryforwards, additional sales of such securities to generate capital gains are planned in 2012.

    SunAmerica has a dynamic hedging program designed to manage economic risk exposure associated with changes in the fair value of embedded policy derivative liabilities contained in certain variable annuity contracts, caused by changes in the equity markets, interest rates and market implied volatilities. SunAmerica substantially hedges its exposure to equity markets. However, due to regulatory capital considerations, a significant portion of the interest rate exposure is unhedged. In the first quarter of 2012, SunAmerica began purchasing U.S. Treasury notes as a capital-efficient strategy to reduce this interest rate exposure. SunAmerica has elected to account for these securities at fair value. As a result of increases in interest rates during the first three months of 2012, the fair value of these securities, net of financing costs, declined by $19 million.

Premiums

  $ 605   $ 621  
   

    Total premiums, deposits and other considerations decreased in 2012 as decreases in individual fixed annuities more than offset increases in individual variable annuities, group retirement products and retail mutual funds which showed significant increases.

    Individual fixed annuity deposits declined due to the low interest rate environment as consumers are more reluctant to purchase such annuities at the relatively lower crediting rates currently offered. Group retirement deposits (which include deposits into fixed options within variable annuities sold in group retirement markets) increased primarily due to higher levels of individual rollover deposits in 2012. SunAmerica expects that the low interest rate environment will begin to impact group retirement deposits, resulting in lower levels of deposits into fixed options over the course of 2012. Individual variable annuity deposits increased due to competitive product enhancements and reinstatements during the last year at a number of key broker-dealers. Deposits from life insurance products increased in 2012 but were more than offset by declines in deferred annuities sold through life insurance distribution channels. Retail mutual fund annual sales growth was driven by SunAmerica Asset Management Corp.'s product offerings.

    SunAmerica grew new sales of mortality based life insurance products in the first quarter of 2012 by continuing to strengthen the core retail independent distribution channel and continuing to focus on career agent and direct-to-consumer distribution. Retail life sales increased 7 percent compared to the first quarter of 2011, due in part to strong sales through Matrix Direct, SunAmerica's direct-to-consumer platform, particularly of SunAmerica's proprietary term life policies.

    Overall net flows declined due to lower fixed annuity deposits resulting from the low interest rate environment. However, surrender rates for individual fixed annuities also decreased in 2012 due to the relative competitiveness of interest credited rates on the existing block of fixed annuities versus interest rates on alternative investment options available in the marketplace. Net flows improved in 2012 for individual variable annuities and group retirement products due to both the significant increase in deposits and favorable surrender experience. Net flows improved in 2012 for retail mutual funds due to increased deposits.

(b)
Net of benefit of DAC and VOBA related to net realized capital losses.

    As SunAmerica operates in various 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 simultaneous deceleration of amortization in other products.

    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. See Note 2(g) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on DAC and VOBA recoverability.

Aircraft Leasing Operations

    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 (and, since the date of its acquisition by ILFC, AeroTurbine). Aircraft Leasing operations also include gains and losses that 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.

Global Capital Markets Operations

    Global Capital Markets' pre-tax income decreased in 2012, compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to a decrease in unrealized market valuation gains related to the super senior CDS portfolio and net credit valuation adjustment losses on the AIGFP derivative assets and liabilities in 2012 compared to net gains in 2011. For the three month period ended March 31, 2012, an unrealized market valuation gain on the super senior CDS portfolio of $140 million was recognized compared to an unrealized market valuation gain of $323 million in 2011. The reduction in gains resulted primarily from CDS transactions written on multi-sector CDOs driven by price movements and amortization within the CDS portfolio. For the three month period ended March 31, 2012, a net credit valuation adjustment loss on AIGFP's derivative assets and liabilities of $22 million was recognized compared to a net credit valuation adjustment gain of $28 million in 2011 due to a tightening of AIG's credit spreads relative to those of its counterparties.

Direct Investment Book Results

    The Direct Investment book's pre-tax income decreased in 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to net credit valuation adjustment losses on the AIGFP non-derivative assets and liabilities in 2012 compared to net gains in 2011, partially offset by realized capital gains in 2012. For the three month period ended March 31, 2012, the Direct Investment book recognized a net credit valuation adjustment loss on the AIGFP non-derivative assets and liabilities of $191 million compared to a net credit valuation adjustment gain of $300 million in 2011 due to the adverse impact of tightening of AIG's credit spreads on DIB liabilities carried at fair value. The net credit valuation adjustment effect was partially offset by realized capital gains of $426 million on the sale of 35.7 million common units of The Blackstone Group L.P. in 2012.

Retained Interests

Change in Fair Value of AIA Securities

    On March 7, 2012, AIG sold 1.72 billion ordinary shares of AIA and recognized a gain of $0.6 billion. AIG's percentage of AIA ordinary shares decreased from approximately 33 percent to approximately 19 percent as a result of this sale. The fair value of AIG's remaining interest in AIA securities increased $1.2 billion during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Change in Fair Value of ML III

    The gain attributable to AIG's interest in ML III for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was generally due to tightening credit spreads.

Change in Fair Value of the MetLife Securities Prior to Sale

    AIG recognized a loss in 2011, representing the decline in the securities' value, due to market conditions, from December 31, 2010 through the date of their sale in the first quarter of 2011.

Change in Unrealized Appreciation of Investments

    The $2.7 billion increase for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily attributable to appreciation in bonds available for sale due to continued improvements in financial market conditions and significant spread tightening partially offset by higher U.S. treasury rates.

    The change for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was due to appreciation in bonds available for sale and valuations on cost method partnerships. The bond appreciation was driven by spreads narrowing, which more than offset higher U.S. treasury rates. The increase in cost method partnerships was attributable to positive equity market performance.

Change in Deferred Acquisition Costs Adjustment and Other

    DAC for investment-oriented products adjusted for changes in estimated gross profits that result from changes in the net unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity and equity securities available for sale. Because fixed maturity and equity securities available for sale are carried at aggregate fair value, an adjustment is made to DAC equal to the change in DAC amortization that would have been recorded if such securities had been sold at their stated aggregate fair value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields. The change in these adjustments, net of tax, is included with the change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments that is credited or

AIG 2012 Form 10-Q            125

American International Group, Inc.

charged directly to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The change in deferred acquisition costs in 2012 is primarily the result of increases in the unrealized appreciation of investments supporting interest-sensitive products.

Change in Future Policy Benefits

    The adjustment to policyholder benefits reserves in 2012 is due to loss reserve recognition resulting from sales of securities in unrealized gain positions.

Change in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments

    Foreign currency translation adjustments decreased principally as a result of the sale of Nan Shan Life Insurance Company, Ltd. in the third quarter of 2011.

Change in Net Derivative Gains (Losses) Arising from Cash Flow Hedging Activities

    The decline primarily reflects the gradual run-off of the cash flow hedge portfolio, partially offset by a decline in the interest rate environment.

Retirement Plan Liabilities Adjustment

    The change is due to the fluctuation in exchange rates in effect for the first quarter 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 and the amortization of a larger net actuarial loss balance that existed at year-end 2011. The larger net actuarial loss balance at year-end 2011 was the result of lower discount rates used to value the U.S. plans at year-end 2011 compared to year-end 2010.

Divestitures and Deconsolidations

    The change attributable to divestitures and deconsolidations in 2011 primarily reflects the derecognition of all items in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at the time of sale for AIG Star and AIG Edison.

Deferred Taxes on Other Comprehensive Income

    For the three-months ended March 31, 2012, the effective tax rate on pre-tax Other Comprehensive Income was 30.6 percent. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory 35 percent rate primarily due to the effects of foreign operations.

    For the three-months ended March 31, 2011, the effective tax rate on pre-tax Other Comprehensive Loss was 37.4 percent. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory 35 percent rate primarily due to the AIG Star and AIG Edison dispositions, changes in the estimated U.S. tax liability with respect to the potential sale of subsidiaries and the effects of foreign operations.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

OVERVIEW

    AIG Parent's primary sources of liquidity are short-term investments and borrowing availability under syndicated credit and contingent liquidity facilities. In addition, subject to market conditions, AIG expects to access the debt markets from time to time to meet its financing needs, which include the payment of maturing debt of AIG and its subsidiaries.

    Highlights of actions taken during the three months ended March 31, 2012 that affected capital resources and liquidity include:

Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

    See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries — Sources of Liquidity herein for further discussion.


LIQUIDITY ADEQUACY MANAGEMENT

    AIG maintains a stress testing and liquidity framework to systematically assess AIG's aggregate exposure to its most significant risks. This framework is built on AIG's existing Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) stress testing methodology for both insurance and non-insurance operations. The scenarios are performed with a two-year time horizon and capital adequacy requirements consider both financial and insurance risks.

    AIG's insurance operations must comply with numerous constraints on their minimum capital positions. These constraints are guiding requirements for capital adequacy for individual businesses, based on capital assessments under rating agency, regulatory and business requirements. Using ERM's stress testing methodology, the capital impact of potential stresses is evaluated relative to the binding capital constraint of each business operation to determine the liquidity required of AIG Parent to support the insurance operations and maintain their target capitalization levels. Added to this amount is the contingent liquidity required under stressed scenarios for non-insurance operations, including the Global Capital Markets derivatives portfolio, the Direct Investment book and ILFC.

    AIG's consolidated risk target is to maintain a minimum liquidity buffer such that AIG Parent's liquidity requirements under the ERM stress scenarios do not exceed 80 percent of AIG Parent's overall liquidity sources over the specified two-year horizon. If the 80 percent minimum threshold is projected to be breached over this defined time horizon, AIG will take appropriate actions to further increase liquidity sources or reduce liquidity requirements to maintain the target threshold, although no assurance can be given that this can be achieved under then-prevailing market conditions.

    AIG has in place unconditional capital maintenance agreements (CMAs) with certain domestic Chartis and SunAmerica insurance companies. These CMAs are expected to continue to enhance AIG's capital management practices, and will help manage the flow of capital and funds between AIG Parent and its insurance company subsidiaries. AIG has also entered into and expects to enter into additional CMAs with certain other Chartis insurance companies as needed in 2012. For additional details regarding CMAs, see Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries — Chartis, and Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries — SunAmerica, below.

Operating Cash Flow Activities

    Interest payments totaled $0.9 billion and $5.8 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Excluding interest payments, AIG generated positive operating cash flow of $0.8 billion and $0.5 billion in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

    Cash used in Chartis operating activities of $0.2 billion was consistent for 2012 and 2011. Insurance companies generally receive most premiums in advance of the payment of claims or policy benefits. The ability of Chartis to generate positive cash flow is affected by the frequency and severity of losses under its insurance policies, policy retention rates and operating expenses. The decline in 2012 net premiums written is consistent with Chartis' business strategy to decline renewals on business that does not meet Chartis' internal performance or operating targets. During 2011, increases in losses incurred were primarily related to catastrophe losses, including the Tohoku Catastrophe in Japan and earthquakes in New Zealand.

    Cash provided by operating activities of $0.1 billion by SunAmerica was consistent for 2012 and 2011, while Aircraft Leasing generated cash from operating activities of $0.6 billion and $0.7 billion in 2012 and 2011, respectively. These cash flows reflected operating performance that was generally consistent for SunAmerica and Aircraft Leasing in both periods.

Investing Cash Flow Activities

    Net cash provided by investing activities in 2012 includes the following events:

    Net cash provided by investing activities for 2011 mainly resulted from the deployment of restricted cash generated from the AIA initial public offering and the disposition of MetLife securities received in the ALICO sale.

Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

Financing Cash Flow Activities

    Net cash used in financing activities during 2012 includes the following activities:

    Net cash used in financing activities for 2011 primarily resulted from the repayment of the FRBNY Credit Facility and the $9.1 billion partial repayment of the AIA SPV Preferred Interests and the preferred interests in AM Holdings LLC (the ALICO SPV) in connection with the Recapitalization and use of proceeds received from the sales of foreign life insurance entities in 2011, all within Other operations.


LIQUIDITY OF PARENT AND SUBSIDIARIES

AIG Parent

    In March 2012, AIG paid down the remaining liquidation preference of the AIA SPV Preferred Interests and redeemed the Department of the Treasury's preferred participating return rights under the AIA SPV and the ALICO SPV limited liability company agreements.

    As a result of these payments, the equity interests in ILFC, the ordinary shares of AIA held by the AIA SPV, the common equity interest in the AIA SPV held by AIG, AIG's interests in ML III, and the $1.6 billion in cash held in escrow to secure indemnifications provided to MetLife were released as security supporting the repayment of the AIA SPV Preferred Interests.

    On March 13, 2012, the Department of the Treasury, as the selling shareholder, completed a registered public offering of AIG Common Stock. The Department of the Treasury sold approximately 207 million shares of AIG Common Stock for aggregate proceeds of $6.0 billion. AIG purchased $3.0 billion of AIG Common Stock in the Offering at the public offering price of $29 per share.

    See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

    AIG has established and maintains substantial actual and contingent liquidity.

Sources of Liquidity

    AIG Parent's primary sources of liquidity are dividends, distributions, and other payments from subsidiaries. In addition, as noted above, AIG expects to access the debt markets from time to time to meet its financing needs. In the first three months of 2012, AIG Parent:

Uses of Liquidity

    AIG Parent's primary uses of cash flow are for debt service, operating expenses and subsidiary capital needs. In the first three months of 2012, AIG Parent:

    AIG believes that it has sufficient liquidity at the AIG Parent level to satisfy future liquidity requirements and meet its obligations, including requirements arising out of reasonably foreseeable contingencies or events. No assurance can be given, however, that AIG's cash needs will not exceed its projected liquidity. Additional collateral calls, deterioration in investment portfolios or reserve strengthening affecting statutory surplus, higher surrenders of annuities and other policies, downgrades in AIG's credit ratings, or catastrophic losses may result in significant additional cash needs, 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.

Chartis

    AIG currently expects that its Chartis subsidiaries will be able to continue to satisfy future liquidity requirements and meet their obligations, including those arising from reasonably foreseeable contingencies or events, through cash from operations and, to the extent necessary, asset dispositions. Chartis subsidiaries maintain substantial liquidity in the form of cash and short-term investments, totaling $6.7 billion as of March 31, 2012. Further, Chartis businesses maintain significant levels of investment-grade fixed maturity securities, including

130            AIG 2012 Form 10-Q


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

substantial holdings in government and corporate bonds, which Chartis could monetize in the event liquidity levels are deemed insufficient.

    One or more large catastrophes may require AIG to provide support to the affected Chartis operations. In addition, 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 relevant 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 Chartis subsidiaries, as rating agency capital models may reduce the amount of available capital relative to required capital. Other potential events that could cause a liquidity strain include economic collapse of a nation or region significant to Chartis operations, nationalization, catastrophic terrorist acts, pandemics or other events causing economic or political upheaval.

    In February 2011, AIG entered into CMAs with certain Chartis domestic property and casualty insurance companies. Among other things, the CMAs provide that AIG will maintain the total adjusted capital of these Chartis insurance companies at or above a specified minimum percentage of the companies' projected total authorized control level Risk-Based Capital (RBC) (as defined by National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) guidelines and determined based on the companies' statutory financial statements). As a result, the CMAs provide that if the total adjusted capital of these Chartis insurance companies falls below the specified minimum percentage of their respective total authorized control level RBCs, AIG will contribute cash or other instruments admissible under applicable regulations to these Chartis insurance companies in the amount necessary to increase total adjusted capital to a level at least equal to such specified minimum percentage. Any required contribution under the CMAs would generally be made during the second and fourth quarters of each year; however, AIG may also make contributions in such amounts and at such times as it deems appropriate. In addition, the CMAs provide that if the total adjusted capital of these Chartis insurance companies is in excess of that same specified minimum percentage of their respective total authorized control level RBCs, subject to board approval, the companies would declare and pay ordinary dividends to their respective equity holders up to an amount that is the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to reduce projected or actual total adjusted capital to a level equal to or not materially greater than such specified minimum percentage or (ii) the maximum amount of ordinary dividends permitted under applicable insurance law. The CMAs do not prohibit, however, the payment of extraordinary dividends, subject to board or regulatory approval, to reduce projected or actual total adjusted capital to a level equal to or not materially greater than the specified minimum percentage. Any required dividend under the CMAs would generally be made on a quarterly basis. As structured, the CMAs contemplate that the specified minimum percentage would be reviewed and agreed upon at least annually. The initial specified minimum percentage was 425 percent. For the year ended December 31, 2011, AIG received a total of approximately $1.3 billion in dividends from Chartis and made no contributions to Chartis under the CMAs.

    In February 2012, AIG, Chartis and certain Chartis domestic property and casualty insurance companies entered into a new, single CMA, which replaces the CMAs entered into in February 2011. The new CMA is structured similarly to the CMAs that it replaces, except that under the new CMA, the total adjusted capital and total authorized control level RBC of these Chartis insurance companies are measured as a group (the Fleet) rather than on an individual company basis. As a result, the new CMA provides that AIG will maintain the total adjusted capital of the Fleet at or above a specified minimum percentage of the Fleet's projected total authorized control level RBC. The initial specified minimum percentage is 350 percent. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, AIG received a total of approximately $1.0 billion in dividends from Chartis, consisting primarily of municipal bonds, and made no contributions to Chartis under the new CMA.

    In March 2012, the National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa. (NUFI), a Chartis subsidiary, became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. FHLB membership provides participants with access to various services, including access to low-cost advances through pledging of certain mortgage-backed securities, government and agency securities and other qualifying assets. These advances may be used to provide an additional source of liquidity for balance sheet management or contingency funding purposes. As of March 31, 2012, NUFI had no advances outstanding under this facility.

    During September 2011, a $725 million letter of credit facility was put in place, under which Chartis Inc. and Ascot Corporate Name Limited (ACNL) acted as co-obligors. ACNL, a Chartis subsidiary and member of the Lloyd's of London insurance syndicate (Lloyd's), is required to hold capital at Lloyd's, known as Funds at Lloyds (FAL). Under the new facility, which supports the 2012 and 2013 years of account, the entire FAL requirement of $583 million as of March 31, 2011 was satisfied with a letter of credit.

SunAmerica

    Management considers the sources of liquidity for SunAmerica subsidiaries adequate to satisfy future liquidity requirements and meet foreseeable liquidity requirements, including those arising from reasonably foreseeable contingencies or events, through cash from operations and, to the extent necessary, asset dispositions. Management, however, has recently initiated some specific programs intended to provide additional sources of actual and contingent liquidity. The SunAmerica companies continue to maintain substantial liquidity in the form of cash and short-term investments, totaling $3.8 billion as of March 31, 2012. In the first three months of 2012, SunAmerica provided $1.6 billion of liquidity to AIG Parent through payment of dividends and surplus note interest from insurance subsidiaries. These payments from the insurance companies were funded through a return of capital distribution of the insurance subsidiaries interests in ML II from the FRBNY's sale of the underlying assets.

    The most significant potential liquidity requirements of the SunAmerica companies are the funding of product surrenders, withdrawals and maturities. Given the size and liquidity profile of SunAmerica's investment portfolios, AIG believes that normal deviations from projected claim or surrender experience would not constitute a significant liquidity risk. As part of its risk management framework, SunAmerica continues to evaluate and implement programs to enhance its liquidity position and facilitate SunAmerica's ability to maintain a fully invested asset portfolio, including securities lending programs and other secured financings structured to increase liquidity. During 2012, SunAmerica began utilizing securities lending programs. In addition, in 2011, certain SunAmerica insurance companies became members of the FHLBs in their respective districts, primarily as an additional source of liquidity or for other uses deemed appropriate by the member. As of March 31, 2012, SunAmerica had borrowed $76 million from the FHLBs to confirm its ability to access this source of liquidity.

    In March 2011, AIG entered into CMAs with certain SunAmerica insurance companies. Among other things, the CMAs provide that AIG will maintain the total adjusted capital of these SunAmerica insurance companies at or above a specified minimum percentage of the companies' projected Company Action Level RBCs. As a result, the CMAs provide that if the total adjusted capital of these SunAmerica insurance companies falls below the specified minimum percentage of their respective Company Action Level RBCs, AIG will contribute cash or instruments admissible under applicable regulations to these SunAmerica insurance companies in the amount necessary to increase total adjusted capital to a level at least equal to such specified minimum percentage. Any required contribution under the CMAs would generally be made during the second and fourth quarters of each year; however, AIG may also make contributions in such amounts and at such times as it deems appropriate. In addition, the CMAs provide that if the total adjusted capital of these SunAmerica insurance companies is in excess of that same specified minimum percentage of their respective total company action level RBCs, subject to board approval, the companies would declare and pay ordinary dividends to their respective equity holders up to an amount that is the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to reduce projected or actual total adjusted capital to a level equal to or not materially greater than such specified minimum percentage or (ii) the maximum amount of ordinary dividends permitted under applicable insurance law. The CMAs do not prohibit, however, the payment of extraordinary dividends, subject to board or regulatory approval, to reduce projected or actual total adjusted capital to a level equal to or not materially greater than the specified minimum percentage. Any required dividend under the CMAs would generally be made on a quarterly basis. As structured, the CMAs contemplate that the specified minimum percentage would be reviewed and agreed upon at least annually. The initial specified minimum percentage was 350 percent, except for the CMA with AGC Life Insurance Company, which had a specified minimum percentage of 250 percent. For the year ended December 31, 2011, AIG received a total of approximately $1.4 billion in distributions from SunAmerica in the form of note repayments. For the three months

American International Group, Inc.

ended March 31, 2012, AIG received a total of approximately $1.6 billion in distributions from SunAmerica in the form of note repayments. AIG made no contributions to SunAmerica under the CMAs in either period. Effective March 30, 2012, the specified minimum percentage increased from 350 percent to 435 percent, except for the CMA with AGC Life Insurance Company, where the specified minimum percentage remained at 250 percent.

Aircraft Leasing

    ILFC's sources of liquidity include existing cash and short-term investments of $2.4 billion, future cash flows from operations, revolving credit facilities, debt issuances, and aircraft sales, subject to market and other conditions. Uses of liquidity for ILFC primarily consist of aircraft purchases and debt repayments. On February 23, 2012, ILFC closed on a $900 million senior secured term loan due in 2017. ILFC used the proceeds from this loan to prepay the $457 million outstanding under its five-year syndicated facility, and the remainder for general corporate purposes. The senior secured term loan is secured primarily by a first priority perfected lien on the equity of certain ILFC subsidiaries that directly or indirectly own a pool of aircraft and related leases.

    On March 19, 2012, ILFC issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $750 million of 4.875% Notes due 2015 and $750 million of 5.875% Notes due 2019. Part of the proceeds from the sale of these notes were used to prepay ILFC's $750 million senior secured term loan scheduled to mature in 2015 and the remainder will be used to for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of debt and the purchase of aircraft.

    On April 12, 2012, ILFC entered into a $550 million secured term loan due in 2016. ILFC used the proceeds from this loan to refinance its $550 million secured term loan that was scheduled to mature in 2016.

    On April 23, 2012, ILFC closed on a $203 million senior secured term loan due in 2018. ILFC is using the proceeds from this loan for the acquisition of seven new aircraft which will be delivered in 2012.

    See Debt herein for further details on ILFC's revolving credit facilities and outstanding debt.

Other Operations

Mortgage Guaranty

    AIG currently expects that its UGC subsidiaries will be able to continue to satisfy future liquidity requirements and meet their obligations, including requirements arising out of reasonably foreseeable contingencies or events, through cash from operations and, to the extent necessary, asset dispositions. UGC subsidiaries maintain substantial liquidity in the form of cash and short-term investments, totaling $878 million as of March 31, 2012. Further, UGC businesses maintain significant levels of investment-grade fixed maturity securities, including substantial holdings in municipal and corporate bonds ($2.9 billion in the aggregate at March 31, 2012), which UGC could monetize in the event liquidity levels are insufficient to meet obligations.

Global Capital Markets

    AIG Markets acts as the derivatives intermediary between AIG companies and third parties and executes its derivative trades under International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) agreements. The agreements with third parties typically require collateral postings. Many of AIG Markets' transactions with AIG and its subsidiaries also include collateral posting requirements. However, generally, no collateral is called under these contracts unless it is needed to satisfy posting requirements with third parties.

    Most of the AIGFP 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. The amount of future collateral posting requirements is a function of AIG's credit ratings, the rating of the reference obligations and the market

AIG 2012 Form 10-Q            133


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

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. AIG estimates the amount of potential future collateral postings associated with the super senior credit default swaps using various methodologies. The contingent liquidity requirements associated with such potential future collateral postings are incorporated into AIG's liquidity planning assumptions. AIGFP continues to rely upon AIG Parent to meet most of its collateral and other liquidity requirements in connection with its remaining derivatives portfolio.

    Collateral posted by operations included in Global Capital Markets to third parties was $4.6 billion and $5.1 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Collateral obtained by operations included in Global Capital Markets from third parties was $946 million and $1.2 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The collateral amounts reflect counterparty netting adjustments available under master netting agreements and are inclusive of collateral that exceeds the fair value of derivatives as of the reporting date.

Direct Investment Book

    As of March 31, 2012, management expects the DIB's investments to provide sufficient return to fund the DIB maturing liabilities. The DIB's investment portfolio consists primarily of cash, short term investments, fixed maturity securities issued by U.S. government and government sponsored entities, mortgage and asset backed securities and to a lesser extent bank loans, mortgage loans and equity securities. While a significant portion of the DIB's liquidity requirements are supported by existing liquidity sources or maturing investments, mismatches in the timing of cash inflows and outflows may require assets to be sold or AIG to access the capital markets to satisfy liquidity requirements. Depending on market conditions and the ability to sell assets if required, proceeds from asset sales may not be sufficient to satisfy the full amount required. Management believes that sufficient liquidity is maintained by the DIB to meet near-term liquidity requirements. Any additional liquidity shortfalls would need to be funded by AIG Parent.

    In the first quarter of 2012, AIG issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes, $750 million of 3.000% Notes Due 2015 and $1.25 billion of 3.800% Notes Due 2017. The proceeds from the sale of these notes are being used to continue to reduce the risk of, and better match the assets and liabilities in, the MIP and the notes are included within MIP notes payable in the debt outstanding table below. Excess funds allocated to the MIP were used to pay down the AIA SPV Preferred Interests. In exchange, AIG's remaining interest in ML III and the future proceeds from the cash held in escrow to secure indemnities provided to MetLife were allocated to the MIP.

    Collateral posted by operations included in the DIB to third parties was $5.1 billion at both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. This collateral primarily consists of securities of the U.S. government and government sponsored entities and generally cannot be repledged or resold by the counterparties.

CREDIT FACILITIES

    AIG relies on credit facilities as potential sources of liquidity for general corporate purposes. Currently, AIG and ILFC maintain committed, revolving credit facilities, including a facility that provides for the issuance of letters of credit, summarized in the following table for general corporate purposes and for letter of credit issuance. AIG intends to replace or extend these credit facilities on or prior to their expiration, although no assurance can be given that these facilities will be replaced on favorable terms or at all. One of the facilities, as noted below, contains a "term-out option" allowing for the conversion by the borrower of any outstanding loans at expiration into one-year term loans. All facilities, except for ILFC's four-year AeroTurbine syndicated credit facility maturing December 2015, are unsecured.

Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

    The AIG 4-Year Syndicated Facility provides for $3.0 billion of revolving loans, which includes a $1.5 billion letter of credit sublimit. As of March 31, 2012, $1.3 billion of letters of credit were outstanding under the letter of credit sublimit within the 4-Year Syndicated Facility, so that a total of $1.7 billion remains available under this facility, of which $0.2 billion is available for letters of credit. AIG expects that it may draw down on the 364-Day and 4-Year facilities from time to time, and may use the proceeds for general corporate purposes. AIG's ability to borrow under these facilities is not contingent on its credit ratings.

    AIG's ability to borrow under these facilities is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain legal, operating, administrative and financial covenants and other requirements contained in the facilities, including covenants relating to AIG's maintenance of a specified total consolidated net worth, total consolidated debt to total consolidated capitalization and total priority debt (defined as debt of AIG's subsidiaries and secured debt of AIG) to total consolidated capitalization. Failure to satisfy these and other requirements contained in the credit facilities would restrict AIG's access to the facilities and, consequently, could have a material adverse effect on AIG's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

    ILFC's three-year credit facility, which became effective January 31, 2011, contains customary events of default and restrictive financial covenants that, among other things, restrict ILFC from entering into secured financing in excess of 30 percent of its consolidated tangible net assets, as defined in the agreement, less $2.0 billion, excluding fixed asset financings. As of April 27, 2012, ILFC would be able to incur an additional $3.3 billion of secured indebtedness under this covenant. Prior to April 16, 2010, ILFC had a $2.5 billion five-year syndicated facility which was scheduled to expire in October 2011. ILFC subsequently amended and extended the facility to mature in October 2012. ILFC repaid $457 million outstanding under the facility and terminated the facility on February 23, 2012. ILFC is a guarantor for a four-year credit facility entered into by AeroTurbine, a wholly owned subsidiary of ILFC, whose assets are pledged as security for the outstanding amount. In February 2012, ILFC increased AeroTurbine's facility by $95 million to $430 million.


CONTINGENT LIQUIDITY FACILITIES

    AIG has access to contingent liquidity facilities of up to $1 billion as potential sources of liquidity for general corporate purposes:

    AIG's ability to borrow under these facilities is not contingent on its credit ratings.


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 April 27, 2012. 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 generic or major rating category and not to the modifiers appended to the rating by the rating agencies to denote relative position within such generic or major category.

AIG guarantees all obligations of AIG Financial Products Corp. and AIG Funding, Inc.

    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.

    Adverse ratings actions regarding our long-term debt ratings by the major rating agencies would require AIGFP to post additional collateral payments pursuant to, and/or permit the termination of, derivative transactions to which AIGFP is a party, which could adversely affect AIG's business, its consolidated results of operations in a reporting period or its liquidity. Credit ratings estimate a company's ability to meet its obligations and may directly affect the cost and availability to that company of financing. In the event of a further downgrade of AIG's long-term senior debt ratings, AIGFP would be required to post additional collateral, and certain of AIGFP's counterparties would be permitted to elect early termination of contracts.

    The actual amount of collateral required to be posted 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 effects of downgrades in the financial strength ratings of AIG's insurance companies or AIG's credit ratings, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(b)
Does not reflect unrecognized tax benefits of $4.2 billion, the timing of which is uncertain. In addition, the majority of AIG's credit default swaps require AIG to provide credit protection on a designated portfolio of loans or debt securities. At March 31, 2012, the fair value derivative liability was $2.5 billion, relating to the super senior multi-sector CDO credit default swap portfolio, 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 March 31, 2012, collateral posted with respect to these swaps was $2.1 billion.

The commitments to invest in private equity funds, hedge funds 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 subsidiaries.

Securities Financing

    The fair value of securities transferred under repurchase agreements accounted for as sales was $1.8 billion and $2.1 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and the related cash collateral obtained was $1.2 billion and $1.6 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

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 fixed maturities (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 Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.


INVESTMENTS

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

    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 book. 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 and retirement services companies, as well as in the Direct Investment book, the fundamental investment strategy is, as nearly as is practicable, to match the duration characteristics of the liabilities with assets of comparable duration.

Fixed maturity securities held by the domestic insurance companies included in Chartis historically have consisted primarily of laddered holdings of tax-exempt municipal bonds, which provided attractive after-tax returns and limited credit risk. To meet the current risk-return and tax objectives of Chartis, the domestic property and casualty companies continue to shift investment allocations away from tax-exempt municipal bonds towards taxable instruments which meet the companies' liquidity, duration and credit quality objectives as well as current risk-return and tax objectives.

Outside of the U.S., fixed maturity securities held by Chartis companies consist primarily of intermediate duration high-grade securities.


INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

    At March 31, 2012, approximately 88 percent of AIG's fixed maturity securities were held by domestic entities. Approximately 19 percent of such securities were rated AAA by one or more of the principal rating agencies, and approximately 14 percent were rated 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 perspective for consideration in the internal analysis.

    A significant portion of the foreign entities fixed maturity securities 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 Management department closely reviews the credit quality of the foreign portfolio's non-rated fixed maturity securities. At March 31, 2012, approximately 22 percent of such investments were either rated AAA or, on the basis of AIG's internal analysis, were equivalent from a credit standpoint to securities rated AAA, and approximately 3 percent were rated below investment grade or not rated at that date. Approximately 50 percent of

American International Group, Inc.

the foreign entities, fixed maturity securities portfolio are sovereign fixed maturity securities supporting policy liabilities in the country of issuance.

    The equity and credit markets experienced positive returns in the first quarter of 2012. Each sector of the domestic equity markets achieved positive returns, with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 returning 8 percent, 12 percent, and 19 percent, respectively. A 33 basis point increase in ten year U.S. Treasury rates was more than offset by significant spread narrowing. Economic events such as a lower U.S. unemployment rate, European Central Bank liquidity injections of approximately $1.1 trillion, and an agreement on the Greek sovereign debt issue helped reduce market uncertainty. Significant areas of concern remain, including Middle East tensions contributing to an increase of approximately 50 percent in the price of oil, over the past six months, and credit rating agencies continuing to issue and warn of possible downgrades. The FRBNY's operation Twist is expected to end in June 2012, which could put pressure on long term rates.

    An overview of investment activities during 2012 is provided below:

Asset Composition

    Net investment income and unrealized and realized gains and losses are discussed under Consolidated Results.

    With respect to AIG's fixed maturity investments, the credit ratings in the table below and in subsequent tables reflect: (a) a composite of the ratings of the three major rating agencies, or when agency ratings are not available, the rating assigned by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Securities Valuations Office (SVO) (over 97 percent of total fixed maturity investments), or (b) AIG's equivalent internal ratings when these investments have not been rated by any of the major rating agencies or the NAIC. The "Non-rated" category in those tables consists of fixed maturity investments that have not been rated by any of the major rating agencies, the NAIC or AIG, and represents primarily AIG's interest in ML III.

    Although the market value of CMBS holdings has remained stable during the first quarter of 2012, the portfolio 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.

AIA INVESTMENT

    On March 7, 2012, AIG sold 1.72 billion ordinary shares of AIA for gross cash proceeds of approximately $6.0 billion (the AIA Sale). As a result of the sale, AIG's retained interest in AIA decreased from approximately 33 percent to approximately 19 percent. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the carrying value of AIG's retained interest in AIA was $8.2 billion and $12.4 billion, respectively, which was recorded in Other invested assets and accounted for under the fair value option.

    The value of the AIA ordinary shares will fluctuate until their ultimate disposition by AIG. The value of these shares will rise and fall in response to various factors beyond the control of AIG, including the business and financial performance of AIA. An agreement with the underwriters for the AIA Sale precludes AIG from entering into hedging transactions that might protect AIG against fluctuations in the value of its remaining interest in AIA.

    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.

152            AIG 2012 Form 10-Q


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

    AIG recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 related to:

    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 0.03 percent of Total equity in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 $218 million and $103 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For a discussion of AIG's other-than-temporary impairment accounting policy, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The effect on Net income of unrealized losses after taxes will be mitigated upon realization because certain realized losses will result in current decreases in the amortization of certain DAC.

(e)
Item count is by CUSIP by subsidiary.

    For the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, net unrealized gains related to fixed maturity and equity securities increased by $2.4 billion primarily resulting from the narrowing of credit spreads.

    As of March 31, 2012, the majority of AIG's fixed maturity investments in an unrealized loss position of more than 50 percent for 12 months or more consisted of the unrealized loss of $257 million 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 21 securities with an amortized cost of $44 million and a net unrealized loss of $26 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. For most security types supported by real estate-related assets, current market yields continue to be higher than the yields were at the respective issuance dates of the securities. This is largely due to investors demanding additional yield premium for securities whose performance is closely linked to the commercial and residential real estate sectors. In addition, for floating rate securities, persistently low LIBOR levels continue to make these securities less attractive.

    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 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 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of AIG's investment portfolio.


ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT

OVERVIEW

    Risk management is a key element of AIG's approach to corporate governance. AIG has an integrated process for managing risks throughout the organization. The Board has oversight responsibility for the management of risk. AIG's Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Department supervises and integrates the risk management functions in each of AIG's major business units, providing senior management with a consolidated view on the firm's major risk positions. Within each business unit, senior leaders and executives approve risk-taking policies and targeted risk tolerance within the framework provided by ERM.

    For a complete discussion of AIG's risk management program, see Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Enterprise Risk Management in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT

    AIG defines its aggregate credit exposures to a counterparty as the sum of its fixed maturity securities, equity securities, loans, leases, reinsurance recoverables, derivatives (fair value changes and potential future exposure), deposits, reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, collateral extended to counterparties, commercial bank letters of credit received as collateral, guarantees, credit default swaps sold, and the specified credit equivalent exposures to certain insurance products which embody credit risk. Therefore, AIG's reported credit exposures to a counterparty reflect available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investments, trading securities, derivative exposures, insurance credit and any other counterparty credit exposures.

154            AIG 2012 Form 10-Q


Table of Contents


American International Group, Inc.

    AIG monitors and controls its company-wide credit risk concentrations and attempts to avoid unwanted or excessive risk accumulations, whether funded or unfunded. To minimize the level of credit risk in certain circumstances, AIG may require third-party guarantees, reinsurance or collateral, such as letters of credit and trust collateral accounts. These guarantees, reinsurance recoverables, letters of credit and trust collateral accounts are also treated as credit exposure and are added to AIG's risk concentration exposure data.

    AIG's single largest credit exposure, the U.S. Government, was 25 percent of Total equity at March 31, 2012 compared to 30 percent at December 31, 2011. Exposure to the U.S. Government primarily includes credit exposure related to U.S. Treasury and government agency securities and to direct and guaranteed exposures to U.S. government-sponsored entities, primarily the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) based upon their U.S. Government conservatorship. The reduction in exposure was primarily related to U.S. government-sponsored entities. Based on AIG's internal risk ratings, at March 31, 2012, AIG's largest below investment grade-rated credit exposure was related to a non-financial corporate counterparty and that exposure was 0.6 percent of Total equity at March 31, 2012, compared to 0.5 percent at December 31, 2011.

    AIG's single largest industry credit exposure at March 31, 2012 was to the global financial institutions sector, which includes banks and finance companies, securities firms, and insurance and reinsurance companies, many of which can be highly correlated at times of market stress. As of March 31, 2012, credit exposure to this sector was $98 billion, or 94 percent of Total equity compared to 106 percent at December 31, 2011.

    At March 31, 2012:

    Of the $98 billion aggregate financial exposure, $34.9 billion was to United Kingdom and European-based financial institutions.

    Approximately 81 percent of the fixed maturity securities of the United Kingdom and European non-financial institutions held by AIG were considered investment grade based on AIG's internal ratings. Non-financial institution corporate exposure to Euro-Zone countries totaled $18.6 billion, with France representing the largest single country exposure of $5.7 billion. $10.9 billion of the Euro-Zone exposures were fixed maturity securities of which $2.4 billion was in France. Approximately two-thirds of the French exposures were mostly to issuers in the oil and gas, rail, utilities and telecommunications industries. Euro-Zone fixed maturity securities represented 31 percent of total non-financial institution corporate exposure in the United Kingdom and Europe. Euro-Zone periphery non-financial institution corporate exposures ($5 billion) are heavily weighted towards large multinational corporations or issuers in relatively stable industries, such as regulated utilities (27 percent), telecommunications (18 percent) and oil and gas (6 percent).

(a)
Fixed maturity securities primarily include available-for-sale securities, with $229 million in trading securities.

(b)
United Kingdom / European exposure also consists of $197 million of subordinated debt, primarily in the United Kingdom and Spain; bank loans of $105 million; and preferred equity securities of $40 million.

(c)
Other primarily consists of insurance related products, including captive fronting programs ($6.8 billion), trade credit insurance ($3.2 billion) and surety insurance ($2.1 billion).

    AIG also had credit exposures to several European governments whose ratings have been downgraded or placed under review in the recent past by one or more of the major rating agencies. These downgrades occurred mostly in countries in the Euro-Zone periphery (Spain, Italy and Portugal) where AIG's credit exposures totaled $338 million at March 31, 2012. The downgrades primarily reflect large government budget deficits, rising government debt-to-GDP ratios and large financing requirements of these sovereigns, which have given rise to widening credit spreads and difficult financing conditions. These credit exposures primarily included available-for-sale and trading securities (at fair value) issued by these governments. AIG had no direct or guaranteed credit exposure to the governments of Greece or Ireland.

    AIG's aggregate credit exposure to the government of Japan was $8.8 billion at March 31, 2012. A significant majority of these securities were held in the investment portfolios of AIG's Japanese insurance operations.

    AIG also had United Kingdom and European structured product exposures (largely residential mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities) totaling $8 billion at March 31, 2012. United Kingdom structured products accounted for $3.5 billion or 44 percent of these exposures, while the Netherlands and Germany comprised 25 percent and 7 percent, respectively. Structured product exposures to the Euro-Zone periphery accounted for 2 percent of the total. Approximately 92 percent of the United Kingdom and European structured products exposures were rated A or better at March 31, 2012 based on external rating agency ratings.

    In addition, AIG had commercial real estate-related net equity investments in Europe totaling $378 million and related unfunded commitments of $104 million.

    ILFC's fleet includes aircraft on operating leases to United Kingdom and European airlines with a net book value of approximately $12.9 billion, of which approximately $3.1 billion, or 24 percent, are aircraft on lease to carriers based in the five Euro-Zone periphery countries.

    AIG actively monitors its European credit exposures, especially those exposures to issuers in the Euro-Zone periphery, and uses various stress assumptions to identify issuers and securities warranting review by senior management and to determine whether mitigating actions should be taken. Mitigating actions in these areas to date have largely included non-renewal of maturing exposures and sales and tender of securities. To date, AIG's purchases of credit default swap protection have been minimal. The financial condition of issuers is periodically evaluated, and internal risk ratings are adjusted as circumstances warrant. The result of these continuing reviews

American International Group, Inc.

has led AIG to believe that its combined credit risk exposures to sovereign governments, financial institutions and non-financial corporations in the Euro-Zone are manageable risks given the type and size of exposure and the credit quality and size of the issuers.

    AIG also 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. Six countries had cross-border exposures in excess of 10 percent of Total equity at both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Based on AIG's internal risk ratings, at March 31, 2012, three countries were rated AAA and three were rated AA. The two largest cross-border exposures were to the United Kingdom and France.

    AIG also has a risk concentration, primarily through the investment portfolios of its insurance companies, in the U.S. municipal sector. A majority of these securities were held in available-for-sale portfolios of AIG's domestic property and casualty insurance companies. See Investments — Available for Sale Investments herein for further details. AIG had $894 million of additional exposure to the municipal sector outside of its insurance company portfolios at March 31, 2012, compared to $892 million at December 31, 2011. These exposures consisted of AIGFP derivatives and trading securities (at fair value) and exposure related to other insurance and financial services operations.

    AIG reviews regularly concentration reports in all categories listed above as well as credit trends by risk ratings and credit spreads. AIG periodically adjusts limits and reviews exposures for risk mitigation to provide reasonable assurance that it does not incur excessive levels of credit risk and that AIG's credit risk profile is properly calibrated across business units.

    Exposures to yield curves include assets that are directly sensitive to yield curve movements, such as fixed maturity securities, loans, finance receivables and short-term investments (excluding consolidated separate account assets). Exposures to equity and alternative investment prices include investments in common stocks, preferred stocks, mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity funds, commercial real estate and real estate funds (excluding consolidated separate account assets and consolidated managed partnerships and funds). Exposures to foreign currency exchange rates reflect AIG's consolidated non-U.S. dollar net capital investments on a GAAP basis.

    The above sensitivities of a 100 basis point increase in yield curves, a 20 percent decline in equities and alternative assets, and a 10 percent depreciation of all foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar were chosen solely for illustrative purposes. The selection of these specific events should not be construed as a prediction, but only as a demonstration of the potential effects of such events. These scenarios should not be construed as the only risks AIG faces; these events are shown as an indication of several possible losses AIG could experience. In addition, losses from these and other risks could be materially higher than illustrated. The sensitivity factors are the same as those used in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


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 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, results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected. The following is a discussion of updates to Critical Accounting Estimates during 2012. For a complete discussion of AIG's critical accounting estimates, see the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


RECOVERABILITY OF DEFERRED TAX ASSET:

    AIG considers the recoverability of its deferred tax asset to be a critical accounting estimate. The evaluation of the recoverability of AIG's deferred tax asset and the need for a valuation allowance requires AIG to weigh all positive and negative evidence to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The more negative evidence that exists, the more positive evidence is necessary and the more difficult it is to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed.

    See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion about AIG's framework for assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets.

AIG 2012 Form 10-Q            161


Table of Contents

RECOVERABILITY OF DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS - SHORT DURATION (CHARTIS):

    Recoverability of DAC is based on the current terms and profitability of the underlying insurance contracts. Policy acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related premiums written are earned, generally 12 months for short-duration insurance contracts. DAC is grouped consistent with the manner in which the insurance contracts are acquired, serviced and measured for profitability and is reviewed for recoverability based on the profitability of the underlying insurance contracts.

    For short-duration insurance contracts, starting on January 1, 2012, AIG has elected to include anticipated investment income in its determination of whether the deferred policy acquisition costs are recoverable. AIG believes the inclusion of anticipated investment income in the recoverability analysis is a preferable accounting policy, as it includes in the recoverability analysis the fact that there is a timing difference between when the premiums are collected and in turn invested and when the losses and related expenses are paid. This is considered a change in accounting principle that requires retrospective application to all periods presented. Because AIG historically has not recorded any premium deficiency on its short-duration insurance contracts even without the inclusion of anticipated investment income, there were no changes to the historical financial statements for the change in accounting principle.

    AIG assesses the recoverability of its DAC on an annual basis or more frequently if circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred. This assessment is performed by comparing recorded net unearned premium and anticipated investment income on inforce business to the sum of expected claims, claims adjustment expenses, anticipated maintenance costs and unamortized DAC. If the sum of these costs exceeds the amount of recorded net unearned premium and anticipated investment income, the excess is recognized as an offset against the asset established for DAC. This offset is referred to as a premium deficiency charge. Increases in expected claims and claims adjustment expenses can have a significant impact on the likelihood and amount of a premium deficiency charge. Management tested the recoverability of DAC and determined that recorded net unearned premiums and anticipated investment income of its Chartis domestic commercial and consumer and international commercial and consumer operations exceeded the sum of these costs at March 31, 2012.

    On January 1, 2012, AIG adopted an accounting standard that amends the accounting for costs incurred by insurance companies that can be capitalized in connection with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. The adoption of this standard resulted in a $5.1 billion decrease in the January 1, 2012 consolidated DAC balance.

Level 3 Assets and Liabilities

    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 value. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

    At March 31, 2012, AIG classified $42.4 billion and $4.6 billion of assets and liabilities, respectively, measured at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 3. This represented 7.7 percent and 1.0 percent of the total assets and liabilities, respectively, at March 31, 2012. At December 31, 2011, AIG classified $39.4 billion and $5.3 billion of assets and liabilities, respectively, measured at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 3. This represented 7.1 percent and 1.2 percent of the total assets and liabilities, respectively, at December 31, 2011. Level 3 fair value measurements are based on valuation techniques that use at least one significant input that is unobservable. AIG considers unobservable inputs to be those for which market data is not available and that are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use when valuing the asset or liability. AIG's assessment of the significance of a particular unobservable input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment.

    AIG classifies fair value measurements for certain assets and liabilities as Level 3 when they require significant unobservable inputs in their valuation, including contractual terms, prices and rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment rates, default rates, mortality rates and correlations of such inputs.

Maiden Lane III

    At its inception, AIG's interest in ML III was valued and recorded at the transaction price of $5 billion. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the valuation methodologies applied to ML III since inception and sensitivity analysis disclosures with respect to the ML III interest.

Super Senior Credit Default Swap Portfolio

    The entities included in Global Capital Markets operations 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, AIG is at risk of credit performance on the super senior risk layer related to such assets. To a lesser extent, those entities also wrote protection on tranches below the super senior risk layer, primarily in respect of regulatory capital relief transactions.

Includes credit valuation adjustment losses of $26 million and $6 million in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, representing the effect of changes in AIG's credit spreads on the valuation of the derivatives liabilities.

(d)
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, a super senior CDS transaction with a net notional amount of $470 million was terminated at approximately its fair value at the time of termination. As a result, a $416 million loss, which was previously included in the fair value derivative liability as an unrealized market valuation loss, was realized. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, $25 million was paid to counterparties with respect to multi-sector CDOs. Upon payment, a $25 million loss, which was previously included in the fair value of the derivative liability as an unrealized market valuation loss, was realized. Multi-sector CDOs also include $4.1 billion and $4.6 billion in net notional amount of credit default swaps written with cash settlement provisions at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

(e)
Corporate debt/CLOs include $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion in net notional amount of credit default swaps written on the super senior tranches of CLOs at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Regulatory Capital Portfolio

    During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, $775 million in net notional amount of regulatory capital CDSs were terminated or matured at no cost. The expected maturity of this portfolio continues to be monitored. As of March 31, 2012, the estimated weighted average expected maturity of the portfolio was one year. There have been no requirements to make any payments as part of terminations of super senior regulatory capital CDSs initiated by counterparties. The regulatory benefit of these transactions for financial institution counterparties was generally derived from Basel I. In December 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision finalized Basel III, which, when fully implemented, may reduce or eliminate the regulatory benefits to certain counterparties for these transactions, and this may reduce the period of time that such counterparties are expected to hold the positions. In prior years, it had been expected that financial institution counterparties would complete a transition from Basel I to an intermediate standard known as Basel II, which could have had similar effects on the benefits of these transactions, at the end of 2009. Basel III has now superseded Basel II, but the details of its implementation by the various European Central Banking districts have not been finalized. 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 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 2012 other than for transactions where Global Capital Markets believes the counterparty is no longer using the transaction to obtain regulatory capital relief. Although AIG 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 the expectation that such rights will be exercised, preclude the recognition of a derivative asset for these transactions.


Arbitrage Portfolio

    A portion of the super senior credit default swaps as of March 31, 2012 are arbitrage-motivated transactions written on multi- sector CDOs or designated pools of investment grade senior unsecured corporate debt or CLOs.

Multi-Sector CDOs

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 $1.3 billion written on the senior part of the capital structure of CLOs, which require physical settlement.


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 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 super senior credit default swap portfolio will be consistent with any of the sensitivity analyses. On average, prices for CDOs increased during the first quarter of 2012. 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 Binomial Expansion Technique (BET) model is used to estimate the change in the fair value of the derivative liability. Out of the total $4.9 billion net notional amount of CDS written on multi-sector CDOs outstanding at March 31, 2012, a BET value is available for $3.0 billion net notional amount. No BET value is determined for $1.9 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 $3.0 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.

The following table presents key inputs used in the BET model, and the potential increase (decrease) to the fair value of the derivative liability by ABS category at March 31, 2012 corresponding to changes in these key inputs:

    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 key inputs will not exceed, perhaps significantly, the ranges assumed by AIG for purposes of the above analysis. No assumption should be made that results calculated from the use of other changes in these key inputs can be interpolated or extrapolated from the results set forth above.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

    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 March 31, 2012, 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 March 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, AIG's internal control over financial reporting.
