Term Sheet

Exchange of Series D Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock for Series E Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock

The Series D Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") of American International Group, Inc. ("AIG") issued to the United States Department of the Treasury ("UST") on November 25, 2008 shall be exchanged for Series E Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series E Preferred Stock") of AIG, with the following changes to the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock:

     

Dividends:

  Holders of Series E Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, only when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of AIG or a duly authorized committee thereof, non-cumulative cash dividends on the liquidation preference at a rate of 10% per annum. Declared dividends will be payable quarterly in arrears on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year.
 

 

  Dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive any dividends not declared by the Board of Directors of AIG or a duly authorized committee thereof and no interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, will be payable in respect of any dividend not so declared.
 

Exchange Ratio:

  The aggregate liquidation preference of the Series E Preferred Stock will be equal to the sum of the aggregate liquidation preference of the Series D Preferred Stock and the amount of the accrued and unpaid dividends under the Series D Preferred Stock.
 

Voting:

  If dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock are not paid in full for four dividend periods, whether or not consecutive, the Series E Preferred Stock will have the right to elect the greater of two directors and a number of directors (rounded upward) equal to 20% of the total number of directors after giving effect to such election. The right to elect directors will end, and such two directors shall resign, if such directors were elected, when full dividends have been paid for four consecutive dividend periods following commencement of such right.
 

Replacement Capital Covenant:

 
AIG will enter into a Replacement Capital Covenant in favor of the holders of the covered debt pursuant to which AIG will agree that prior to the third anniversary of the issuance of the Series E Preferred Stock it will not repay, redeem or purchase, and no subsidiary of AIG will purchase, all or any part of the Series E Preferred Stock except with the proceeds obtained from the issuance by AIG or any such subsidiary of certain replacement capital securities.

 

     

Replacement Capital Intention:

 
AIG intends that commencing on the third anniversary of the issuance of the Series E Preferred Stock it will not repay, redeem or purchase, nor will any subsidiary of AIG purchase, all or any part of the Series E Preferred Stock except with the proceeds from the issuance by AIG or any such subsidiary of securities for which AIG will receive equity credit, at the time of sale or issuance, that is, in the aggregate, equal to or greater than the equity credit attributed to the Series E Preferred Stock redeemed at the time of such early redemption.
 

Executive Compensation:

  Until such time as no obligation of AIG arising from financial assistance provided under the Troubled Asset Relief Program remains outstanding (excluding any period during which the federal government only holds warrants to purchase common stock of AIG), AIG shall comply in all respects with Section 111 of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, as amended, as implemented by any guidance or regulations issued and/or to be issued thereunder including any amendments to the guidelines implementing the Programs of Systemically Significant Failing Institutions.
