Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other publicly available documents may include, and AIG's officers and representatives may from time to time make, projections and statements which may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These projections and statements are not historical facts but instead represent only AIG's belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside AIG's control. These projections and statements may address, among other things, the outcome of the recently completed and proposed transactions with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) and the United States Department of the Treasury (Department of the Treasury), the number, size, terms, cost and timing of dispositions and their potential effect on AIG's businesses, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity (and AIG at any time and from time to time may change its plans with respect to the sale of one or more businesses), AIG's exposures to subprime mortgages, monoline insurers and the residential and commercial real estate markets, the separation of AIG's businesses from AIG parent company, AIG's ability to retain and motivate its employees and AIG's strategy for growth, product development, market position, financial results and reserves. It is possible that AIG's actual results and financial condition will differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these projections and statements. Factors that could cause AIG's actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those in
the specific projections and statements include a failure of the completed transactions with the FRBNY or the Department of the Treasury to achieve their desired objectives or a failure to complete the proposed transactions with the FRBNY, developments in global credit markets and such other factors as discussed throughout this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Item 1A. Risk Factors of AIG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (as amended, the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K). AIG is not under any obligation (and expressly disclaims any obligation) to update or alter any projection or other statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
In addition to reviewing AIG's results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) supplements and updates the information and discussion included in the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K to reflect developments in or affecting AIG's business to date during 2009. Throughout this MD&A, AIG presents its operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful. Statutory underwriting profit (loss) is presented in accordance with accounting principles prescribed by insurance regulatory authorities because these are standard measures of performance used in the insurance industry and thus allow more meaningful comparisons with AIG's insurance competitors. AIG also uses cross-references to additional information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K to assist readers seeking related information on a particular subject.
Overview
Operations
AIG identifies its operating segments by product line, consistent with its management structure. These segments are General Insurance, Life Insurance & Retirement Services, Financial Services and Asset Management. Through these operating segments, AIG provides insurance, financial and investment products and services to both businesses and individuals in more than 130 countries and jurisdictions.
AIG's subsidiaries serve commercial, institutional and individual customers through an extensive property-casualty and life insurance and retirement services network. AIG's Financial Services businesses include commercial aircraft and equipment leasing, capital markets operations and consumer finance, both in the United States and abroad. AIG also provides asset management services to institutions and individuals.
Consideration of AIG's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
In the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, management disclosed the conditions and events that led management to conclude that AIG would have adequate liquidity to finance and operate AIG's businesses, execute its asset disposition plan and repay its obligations for at least the next twelve months. At that time, the United States government issued the following statement referring to the March 2009 agreements in principle and other transactions they expected to undertake with AIG to strengthen its capital position, enhance its liquidity, reduce its borrowing costs and facilitate AIG's asset disposition program.
"The steps announced today provide tangible evidence of the U.S. government's commitment to the orderly restructuring of AIG over time in the face of continuing market dislocations and economic deterioration. Orderly restructuring is essential to AIG's repayment of the support it has received from U.S. taxpayers and to preserving financial stability. The U.S. government is committed to continuing to work with AIG to maintain its ability to meet its obligations as they come due."
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management assessed whether AIG had the ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In making this assessment, AIG considered:
• The commitment of the FRBNY and the Department of the Treasury to the orderly restructuring of AIG and their commitment to continuing to work with AIG to maintain its ability to meet its obligations as they come due;
• The liquidity events in the second half of 2008, including transactions with the FRBNY and the Department of the Treasury;
• AIG's liquidity-related actions and plans to stabilize its businesses and repay the debt outstanding under the facility (the FRBNY Facility) provided by the FRBNY under the Credit Agreement, dated as of September 22, 2008 (as amended, the FRBNY Credit Agreement), between AIG and the FRBNY;
• The level of AIG's realized and unrealized losses and the negative impact of these losses in shareholders' equity and on the capital levels of AIG's insurance subsidiaries;
• The substantial resolution of the liquidity issues surrounding the multi-sector super senior credit default swap portfolio of AIG Financial Products Corp. and AIG Trading Group, Inc. and their respective subsidiaries (collectively AIGFP) and the U.S. securities lending program;
• The additional capital provided to AIG by the Department of the Treasury;
• Recently completed transactions with the FRBNY and the Department of the Treasury;
• The planned sales of significant subsidiaries;
• The continuing liquidity issues in AIG's businesses and AIG's actions to address such issues; and
• The substantial risks to which AIG is subject.
Each of these items is discussed in more detail below.
In considering these items, management made significant judgments and estimates with respect to the potentially adverse financial and liquidity effects of AIG's risks and uncertainties. Management also assessed other items and risks arising in AIG's businesses and made reasonable judgments and estimates with respect thereto. After consideration, management believes that it will have adequate liquidity to finance and operate AIG's businesses and continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months.
It is possible that the actual outcome of one or more of management's plans could be materially different or that one or more of management's significant judgments or estimates about the potential effects of the risks and uncertainties could prove to be materially incorrect or that the principal transactions discussed below are not consummated. If one or more of these possible outcomes is realized, AIG may need additional U.S. government support to meet its obligations as they come due.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Liquidity
Liquidity Events in the Second Half of 2008
In the second half of 2008, AIG experienced an unprecedented strain on liquidity. The two principal causes of the liquidity strain were demands for the return of cash collateral under the U.S. securities lending program and collateral calls on AIGFP's super senior multi-sector collateralized debt obligation (CDO) credit default swap portfolio. Both of these liquidity strains were significantly exacerbated by the downgrades of AIG's long-term debt ratings by Standard & Poor's, a division of the McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. (S&P), Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) and Fitch Ratings (Fitch) on September 15, 2008. This strain led to a series of transactions with the FRBNY and the Department of the Treasury. See the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a complete discussion of these agreements, which are outlined below.
• FRBNY Credit Agreement
• Issuance of AIG's Series D Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share (AIG Series D Preferred Stock)
• Termination of $62 billion of credit default swaps
• Resolution of U.S. Securities Lending Program
• AIG Affiliates' Participation in FRBNY's Commercial Paper Funding Facility
(CPFF)
• Issuance of AIG's Series C Perpetual, Convertible, Participating Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share (AIG Series C Preferred Stock). See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the issuance of the AIG Series C Preferred Stock.
2009 Completed and Proposed Transactions
Exchange of AIG Series D Preferred Stock for AIG Series E Preferred Stock
On April 17, 2009, AIG entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the Series E Exchange Agreement) with the Department of the Treasury pursuant to which, among other things, the Department of the Treasury exchanged 4,000,000 shares of AIG Series D Preferred Stock for 400,000 shares of AIG's Series E Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share (AIG Series E Preferred Stock), with an aggregate liquidation preference of $41,604,576,000, which represents the issuance-date aggregate liquidation preference of the AIG Series D Preferred Stock surrendered plus accumulated but unpaid dividends thereon. The terms of the AIG Series E Preferred Stock are substantially the same as those of the AIG Series D Preferred Stock, except that the dividends are not cumulative, the liquidation preferences per share differ, and the AIG Series E Preferred Stock is subject to a replacement capital covenant. Concurrently with the exchange of the shares of AIG Series D Preferred Stock for shares of the AIG Series E Preferred Stock, AIG entered into a replacement capital covenant in favor of the holders of a series of AIG debt, pursuant to which AIG agreed that prior to the third anniversary of the issuance of the AIG Series E Preferred Stock, AIG will not redeem or purchase, and no subsidiary of AIG will purchase, all or any part of the AIG Series E Preferred Stock except with the proceeds obtained from the issuance by AIG or any subsidiary of AIG of certain capital securities.
The Series E Exchange Agreement also permits the Department of the Treasury, under certain circumstances, to exchange the warrant received in connection with the issuance of the AIG Series D Preferred Stock (AIG Series D Warrant) for 53,798,766 shares of the AIG Series C Preferred Stock.
Issuance of AIG Series F Preferred Stock and Entry into $29.835 billion Department of the Treasury Commitment
On April 17, 2009, AIG entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the
Series F Purchase Agreement) with the Department of the Treasury pursuant to
which, among other things, AIG issued to the Department of the Treasury
(i) 300,000 shares of AIG's Series F Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual
Preferred Stock, par value $5.00 per share (AIG Series F Preferred Stock), and
(ii) a warrant (AIG Series F Warrant) to purchase 3,000 shares of AIG's common
stock, par value $2.50 per share (AIG Common Stock).
Pursuant to the Series F Purchase Agreement, the Department of the Treasury has committed for five years to provide immediately available funds (the Department of the Treasury Commitment) in an amount up to $29.835 billion (the Available Amount) so long as:
• AIG is not a debtor in a pending case under Title 11 of the United States Code; and
• the Trust (or any successor entity established for the sole benefit of the United States Treasury) and the Department of the Treasury, in the aggregate, "beneficially owns" more than 50 percent of the aggregate voting power of AIG's voting securities.
The Available Amount will be decreased by the aggregate amount of financial assistance that the Department of the Treasury provides to AIG, its subsidiaries or any special purpose vehicle established by or for the benefit of AIG or any of its subsidiaries after the issuance of the AIG Series F Preferred Stock and the AIG Series F Warrant, unless otherwise specified by the Department of the Treasury, in its sole discretion, under the terms of such financial assistance.
The Series E Exchange Agreement and the Series F Purchase Agreement restrict AIG's ability to repurchase capital stock and require AIG to continue to maintain policies limiting corporate expenses, lobbying activities and executive compensation.
The terms of the AIG Series F Preferred Stock are substantially the same as the AIG Series E Preferred Stock, except that the liquidation preferences per share differ and the AIG Series F Preferred Stock is not subject to a
replacement capital covenant. The liquidation preference of the AIG Series F Preferred Stock is initially $0 per share and will be increased pro rata by the amount of each drawdown of the Department of the Treasury Commitment.
The AIG Series F Warrant is exercisable, at any time, at an initial exercise price of $0.000001 per share. The AIG Series F Warrant will not be subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer other than such as are necessary to ensure compliance with U.S. federal and state securities laws. The Department of the Treasury has agreed that it will not exercise any voting rights with respect to the AIG Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Series F Warrant.
Modification to the FRBNY Facility
On April 17, 2009, AIG and the FRBNY entered into Amendment No. 3 to the FRBNY Credit Agreement. The FRBNY Credit Agreement was amended, among other things, to:
• remove the minimum 3.5 percent LIBOR borrowing rate floor; and
• permit the issuance by AIG of the AIG Series E Preferred Stock, the AIG Series F Preferred Stock and the AIG Series F Warrant to the Department of the Treasury.
Repayment of the FRBNY Facility with Subsidiary Preferred Equity
On March 2, 2009, AIG and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
announced their intent to enter into transactions pursuant to which AIG will
transfer to the FRBNY preferred equity interests in newly formed special purpose
vehicles (SPVs). Each SPV will hold (directly or indirectly) 100 percent of the
common stock of an AIG operating subsidiary (American International Assurance
Company, Limited, together with American International Assurance Company
(Bermuda) Limited (AIA) in one case and American Life Insurance Company (ALICO)
in the other). In exchange for the preferred equity interests received by the
FRBNY, there would be a concurrent substantial reduction in the outstanding
balance and maximum available amount to be borrowed under the FRBNY Facility.
Securitizations
On March 2, 2009, AIG and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System announced their intent to enter into a transaction pursuant to which AIG will issue to the FRBNY senior certificates in one or more newly-formed SPVs to be repaid with the net cash flows from designated blocks of existing life insurance policies in settlement of a portion of the outstanding balance of the FRBNY Facility. The amount of the FRBNY Facility reduction will be based on the proceeds received. The SPVs are expected to be consolidated by AIG.
Liquidity Position
At April 29, 2009, AIG had outstanding borrowings under the FRBNY Facility of $42.6 billion, with a remaining borrowing capacity of $17.4 billion, and accrued compounding interest and fees totaled $4.3 billion. At April 30, 2009, AIG had not drawn any amounts under the Department of the Treasury Commitment, and therefore had additional capacity to draw up to $29.835 billion thereunder.

(a) International Lease Finance Corporation.
(b) American General Finance, Inc.
In addition, at April 29, 2009, AIG affiliates had $12.3 billion of commercial paper outstanding under the CPFF, including $4.9 billion issued by AIG Funding, Inc. (AIG Funding), with the majority of maturities in July 2009. If AIG's short-term ratings are downgraded, AIG Funding may lose access to the CPFF and would be required to find other sources to fund the maturing commercial paper.
AIG expects to meet these obligations primarily through borrowings from the FRBNY Facility and the cash flows, including from dispositions, of assets supporting these obligations. Debt maturities for the Matched Investment Program (MIP) are expected to be funded through cash flows generated by the sale or financing of the asset portfolios in the program. Approximately $3.4 billion of AIGFP's debt maturities through March 31, 2010 are fully collateralized with assets backing the corresponding liabilities. It is expected that American General Finance, Inc. (AGF) and International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) will require support from AIG, in addition to their cash flows from operations and proceeds from asset sales and securitizations, to meet their existing obligations. AIG intends to provide such support through May 15, 2010.
In the first three months of 2009, AIG made capital contributions of $1.25 billion to certain of its Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services companies. If a substantial portion of the Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services bond portfolio diminishes significantly in value or suffers credit events, AIG may need to provide additional capital support for these operations.
In addition, AIG made capital contributions of $641 million to its Domestic General Insurance companies in the first three months of 2009. AIG does not anticipate making additional capital contributions to the Domestic General Insurance companies.
AIG has developed certain plans (described below), some of which have already been implemented, to provide stability to its businesses and to provide for the timely repayment of the FRBNY Facility; other plans are still being formulated.
Asset Disposition Plan
Since October 2008, when AIG originally announced a restructuring plan under which AIG's Life Insurance & Retirement Services operations and certain other businesses would be divested in whole or in part, AIG has sold certain businesses and assets and has entered into contracts to sell others. However, global market conditions have continued to deteriorate, posing risks to AIG's ability to divest assets at acceptable values. As announced on March 2, 2009, AIG's restructuring plan has evolved in response to these market conditions. Specifically, AIG's
current plans involve transactions between AIG and the FRBNY with respect to AIA and ALICO. Additionally, AIG announced its plans to create an independent entity by transferring AIG's U.S. property and casualty and foreign general insurance businesses into a special purpose vehicle in preparation for the potential sale of a minority stake.
AIG believes that these current plans are necessary to maximize the value of its . . .
