AIG ANNOUNCES U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PRICING
OF OFFERING TO SELL AIG COMMON STOCK
NEW YORK, September 10, 2012 – American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) today announced that the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) has priced an offering of approximately 553.8 million shares of its AIG common stock at the initial public offering price of $32.50 per share. Treasury has also granted a 30-day option to the underwriters for the offering to purchase up to an additional approximately 83.1 million shares to cover over-allotments, if any. In connection with Treasury’s offering, AIG has agreed to purchase approximately 153.8 million shares of AIG common stock in the offering at the initial public offering price for an aggregate purchase amount of approximately $5 billion.
“This offering, Treasury’s largest to date, makes America whole on its investments in AIG plus a profit,” said Robert H. Benmosche, AIG President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are close to achieving what most outside AIG thought unimaginable. The people of AIG never lost faith, kept working, and are grateful for being given the chance to make good on this goal.”
Treasury currently owns approximately 53.4 percent of AIG’s common stock outstanding. Assuming completion of this offering and a $5 billion share repurchase at the initial public offering price of $32.50 per share, Treasury would own approximately 21.5 percent of AIG’s common stock then outstanding (approximately 15.9 percent if the over-allotment option is exercised in full).
Citigroup, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC have been retained as joint global coordinators for the offering. BofA Merrill Lynch, Barclays Capital Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, UBS Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC have been retained as joint book-runners for the offering.
