AIG Announces Pricing for Its Cash Tender Offer

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 8, 2016-- American International Group, Inc. (NYSE:AIG) today announced the applicable Reference Yields and Total Consideration for its previously announced cash tender offer for the notes and debentures issued or guaranteed by AIG listed in the table below. The complete terms of the tender offer are set forth in the offer to purchase dated February 23, 2016 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related letter of transmittal. The early participation date for the tender offer was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 7, 2016. The expiration date of the tender offer is 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on March 21, 2016, unless extended. The payment date for this tender offer will be promptly following its expiration and is expected to be on or about March 23, 2016. Consummation of the tender offer is subject to a number of conditions (as described in the Offer to Purchase). Withdrawal rights for the tender offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 7, 2016 and have not been extended.

Holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their notes or debentures at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 7, 2016, and whose tenders are accepted for purchase, will receive the Total Consideration set forth in the table below, which includes an early participation amount of $50, £50 or €50 for each $1,000, £1,000 or €1,000 principal amount, as applicable, of notes and debentures validly tendered and accepted for purchase. Holders validly tendering their notes or debentures after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 7, 2016, and on or prior to the expiration date and whose securities are accepted for purchase, will be eligible to receive only the applicable “Tender Offer Consideration,” which is equal to the Total Consideration less the early participation amount. Holders whose notes and debentures are accepted in this tender offer will also receive a cash payment representing accrued interest from the most recent interest payment date to but excluding the payment date.

AIG intends to accept all notes or debentures validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 7, 2016; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of notes or debentures validly tendered prior to the expiration date exceeds $1.0 billion, AIG will accept for payment all notes or debentures validly tendered in accordance with the acceptance priority levels set forth in the table below. Assuming no additional notes or debentures are validly tendered after the early participation date and the payment date for this tender offer occurs on March 23, 2016, the aggregate purchase price of the notes and debentures to be purchased in this tender offer (not including accrued and unpaid interest) will be approximately $820.8 million.
