AIG Commences Cash Tender Offers for Debt Securities

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 18, 2015-- American International Group, Inc. (NYSE:AIG) today commenced cash tender offers for 26 series of debt securities of AIG and one of its subsidiaries, AIG Life Holdings, Inc. The complete terms of the tender offers are set forth in two separate offers to purchase and the related letters of transmittal, each dated today. Securities that are accepted in the tender offers will be purchased, retired and cancelled by AIG or AIG Life Holdings, Inc., as applicable. Consummation of the tender offers is subject to a number of conditions, including the absence of any adverse legal and market developments and, for the maximum tender offer discussed below, a financing condition (as described in the applicable offer to purchase). Subject to applicable law, AIG may waive certain of these conditions or extend, terminate or otherwise amend one or more of the tender offers. The tender offers are not cross-conditioned, and AIG may complete some, all or none of them.

Maximum Tender Offer

AIG is offering to purchase the notes and debentures listed in Table I below in an aggregate principal amount (U.S. Dollar equivalent) of up to $3.0 billion. The early participation date for this tender offer is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 1, 2015 (the “Early Participation Date”), and the expiration date for this tender offer is 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 16, 2015 (in each case, subject to extension). As indicated in Table I, the price to be paid for each series of notes and debentures will be either fixed or based on fixed spreads to certain reference benchmarks, as further described below. The prices to be paid for the “fixed spread” notes and debentures denominated in U.S. Dollars and Sterling will be calculated on the basis of the yield to the applicable call or maturity date of the applicable reference security listed in Table I, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, for the “fixed spread” notes and debentures denominated in U.S. Dollars, or 3:00 p.m., London time, for the “fixed spread” notes and debentures denominated in Sterling, each on the business day following the Early Participation Date, plus the fixed spread applicable to such note or debenture as set forth in Table I. The price to be paid for the “fixed spread” notes or debentures denominated in Euros will be calculated on the basis of the rates payable on certain reference swaps, at 3:00 p.m., London time, on the business day following the Early Participation Date, plus the fixed spread applicable to such note or debenture, as described more fully in the applicable offer to purchase. Table I also sets forth the fixed price to be paid for the “fixed price” notes listed therein. 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 date AIG purchases the notes and debentures. The payment date for this offer will be promptly following its expiration and is expected to be on or about July 20, 2015.

The following is a brief summary of certain key elements of this tender offer:

• Holders who validly tender and who do not validly withdraw their notes or debentures at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on July 1, 2015 (subject to extension), the Early Participation Date, and whose tenders are accepted for purchase, will receive the Total Consideration.
• Holders who validly tender their notes or debentures after 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Early Participation Date but at or prior to the expiration date, and whose securities are accepted for purchase, will only be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration, which is equal to the Total Consideration less the Early Participation Amount (as defined in the applicable offer to purchase and set forth in Table I below).
• Tenders of notes or debentures may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 1, 2015 (subject to extension), but not thereafter.
• AIG reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase the maximum amount of notes and debentures sought in this tender offer. In the event of any such increase, AIG will not be obligated (except as required by applicable law) to extend the Early Participation Date, the withdrawal date or the expiration date.
• If this tender offer is oversubscribed, AIG will accept for payment all securities validly tendered in accordance with the acceptance priority levels set forth in Table I. If there are sufficient remaining funds to purchase some, but not all, of the remaining tendered notes or debentures at any acceptance priority level, AIG will accept for payment such tendered notes or debentures on a prorated basis.
• This tender offer is subject to conditions, including a financing condition that provides that the tender offer is conditioned on AIG having issued and sold, in one or more capital markets financing transactions, on terms satisfactory in AIG’s reasonable judgment, debt securities providing net proceeds at least equal to a material portion, in AIG’s reasonable judgment, of the aggregate principal amount of the notes and debentures accepted in this tender offer.

Any and All Tender Offers

AIG is also offering to purchase any and all of the notes listed in Tables II and III below. These offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 1, 2015, subject to extension. Table II sets forth the fixed prices to be paid for each series of notes listed therein. The prices to be paid for each series of notes listed in Table III will be based on fixed spreads to certain reference benchmarks, determined on July 1, 2015, as described in the applicable offer to purchase. Tenders of notes may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to the expiration date but not thereafter. Holders whose notes are accepted in these tender offers will also receive, where applicable, a cash payment representing accrued interest from the most recent interest payment date to, but excluding, the date AIG purchases the notes.
