The principal occupation or affiliation of the nominees is shown in bold
face type. Each of the directors who is also an executive officer of AIG has,
for more than five years, occupied an executive position with AIG or companies
that are now its subsidiaries, and, except as hereinafter noted, each other
director has occupied an executive position with his company or organization
listed above for at least five years. Mr. Conable retired on September 1, 1991
as President of The World Bank. Ambassador Hills served as United States Trade
Representative from 1989 until 1993.
Mrs. Fajen, who is 73, has served as an AIG director since 1984. She

There were four regularly scheduled meetings, comprising all the meetings

which they served.
Messrs. Aidinoff, Conable, Hoenemeyer, Howell and Phypers and Mrs. Hills
are the current members of the Audit Committee, which held four meetings during
1993. The primary function of the Audit Committee is to give general advice to
the Board and the officers in matters relating to the audits of the records of
account of AIG and its subsidiaries. The Committee reviews the performance and
scope of audit and non-audit services provided by the independent accountants
during the fiscal year and recommends to the Board the nomination of the
independent public accountants as auditors for the ensuing fiscal year. In
addition, the Committee reviews reports issued by the internal auditing
department and the independent accountants.
The Stock Option and Compensation Committee, which held nine meetings
during 1993, administers the various AIG stock option plans, establishes the
compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and sets policy for compensation for
senior management. Current members of the Committee are Messrs. Cohen,
Gousseland, Hoenemeyer and Howell.
The Executive Committee, comprised of Messrs. Aidinoff, Greenberg, Howell,
Roberts, Stempel and Tizzio, also functions as a nominating committee. All

(1) Amounts shown in 1993 represent the value, based on the closing sale price
of AIG Common Stock on December 31, 1993 ($87.75), of shares of AIG Common
Stock allocated but not distributed under a Deferred Compensation Profit
Participation Plan (the "SICO Plan") provided to certain senior AIG
employees, including AIG executive officers, by SICO. The SICO Plan came
into being in 1975 when the voting shareholders and Board of Directors of
SICO, a private holding company whose principal asset consists of AIG Common
Stock, decided that a portion of the capital value of SICO should be used to
provide an incentive plan for the current and succeeding managements of all
American International companies, including AIG. Participation in the SICO
Plan by any person, and the amount of such participation, is at the sole
discretion of SICO's Board of Directors, and none of the costs of the
various benefits provided under such plan is charged to or absorbed by AIG.
The SICO Plan provides that shares may be set aside by SICO for the benefit
of the participant and distributed upon retirement. Prior to retirement, the
participant is not entitled to vote, dispose of or receive dividends with
respect to such shares. Shares are subject to forfeiture under certain
conditions, including but not limited to the participant's voluntary
termination of employment with AIG prior to normal retirement age. In
addition, SICO's Board of Directors may elect to pay a participant cash in
lieu of shares of AIG Common Stock. In March, 1993, a determination was made
as to the number of AIG shares allocable to the accounts of the participants
in the SICO Plan with respect to units awarded in December, 1990. The number
of AIG shares allocated to named executive officers is as follows:
Greenberg -- 30,600 shares; Matthews -- 9,000 shares; Tizzio -- 7,200
shares; Stempel -- 7,200 shares; Tse -- 3,600 shares.
(2) Amounts shown for Messrs. Greenberg, Matthews and Tizzio represent matching
contributions under AIG's 401(k) Plan. Amounts representing the accrual
under the Current Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Plan cannot readily
be individually calculated by the actuaries for those plans.
(3) Includes cash benefits paid by SICO under the SICO Plan. Commencing January
1, 1993, cash benefits were no longer payable under the SICO Plan.
(4) Adjusted to reflect 50 percent stock split effected as a stock dividend in
1993.
(5) Amounts shown reflect contributions by AIG to the Amercian International
Companies (Hong Kong) Staff Provident Plan.

(1) Awards represent grants of units under the SICO Plan described in Note 1 to
the Summary Compensation Table on page 8 with respect to the two-year
period from January 1, 1993 through December 31, 1994. The SICO Plan
contains neither threshold amounts nor maximum payout limitations. The
number of shares of AIG Common Stock allocated to a unit upon payout is
based on a percentage selected by SICO's Board of Directors of between 20
percent and 100 percent of the increase of SICO's retained earnings
attributable to the AIG Common Stock held by SICO over the two year period.
As a result, the number of shares to be allocated with respect to units
held for the 1993-1994 period and the value of such shares cannot be
determined at this time. The number of shares shown under "Estimated Future
Payouts" represent the number of shares allocable to the named individuals
based upon the units awarded to them for the 1993-1994 period, assuming the
percentage selected by the SICO Board of Directors and the increase in
SICO's retained earnings for the 1993-1994 period were the same as those
used to allocate the shares of AIG Common Stock for the 1991-1992 period.
As noted in the description of the SICO Plan in Note 2 to the Summary
Compensation Table on page 8, prior to retirement, the participant is not
entitled to vote, dispose of or receive dividends with respect to such
shares, and the shares are subject to forfeiture under certain conditions,
including but not limited to the participant's voluntary termination of
employment with AIG prior to normal retirement age.
In order to facilitate the performance of their management
responsibilities, AIG provides to Messrs. Greenberg and Roberts automobiles and
drivers and to these individuals and other officers and employees the use of a
yacht and corporate aircraft, club memberships and recreational opportunities.
These facilities are provided for use for business purposes and the costs
thereof are considered ordinary and necessary business expenses of AIG. Any
personal benefit any of these persons may have derived from the use of these
facilities is regarded as incidental to such business use and the amount thereof
has therefore not been included in the compensation shown in the Summary
Compensation Table on page 8.
Messrs. Freeman, Greenberg, Matthews, Roberts, Stempel, Tizzio and Tse or
certain of them, are directors and officers of SICO, directors and members of
the Starr Foundation and directors and officers of Starr. These individuals also
receive compensation as officers of Starr for services rendered to Starr as well
as compensation from SICO for services rendered to SICO. These services are not
considered to detract materially from the business time of these individuals
available for AIG matters and such compensation is not included in the
compensation for services to AIG shown in the Summary Compensation Table on page
8.
AIG maintains a policy of directors and officers liability insurance for
itself, its directors and officers, its subsidiaries, and their directors and
officers. The premium for the year ending May 24, 1994 is approximately
$2,800,000.
PENSION BENEFITS
Through March 31, 1985, when such plan was terminated, employees of AIG and
its subsidiaries who are citizens of the United States or non-citizens working
in the United States were covered under the American International Group, Inc.
Pension Plan, a contributory, qualified, defined benefit plan ("Original Pension
Plan"). The annual pension for a participant was equal to 1.75% of Average Final
Compensation multiplied by years of credited service as a participant (up to 40
years) less 1.4286% of his Social Security Benefit multiplied by years of
credited service (limited to 35 years). Average Final Compensation was defined
as the average annual compensation of a participant during the 3 consecutive
years in the last 10 years of his credited service affording the highest such
average, or during all of the years of his credited service if less than 3
years. Benefits were paid monthly during the life of the participant, or, if
applicable, during the joint lives of the participant and his contingent
annuitant. The annual retirement allowance for participants with at least 10
years of credited service was not less than 50% of 1.75% of Average Final
Compensation, or $1,200, whichever was greater. On April 1, 1985, a new
non-contributory, qualified, defined benefit plan ("Current Retirement Plan")
was established, with provisions substantially the same as the Original Pension
Plan, except for the non-contributory feature and except that in the annual
pension formula described above, 1.25% of Average Final Compensation is
multiplied by years of credited service as a participant
10
12
(up to 44 years) less 1.25% of his Social Security Benefit multiplied by years
of credited service (limited to 35 years). The 1.25% of Average Final
Compensation is also used in the determination of the minimum retirement
allowance. Effective January 1, 1989, the Current Retirement Plan formula
changed in accordance with government mandated regulations from a Social
Security offset to a Social Security integration method of computation where the
Current Retirement Plan formula is the average of the final three years'
compensation but no greater than 150% of the employee's "covered compensation"
(the average of the Social Security Wage bases during the 35 years preceding the
Social Security retirement age) times credited service up to 35 years,
multiplied by an applicable Social Security retirement age factor. For employees
terminating from active service after January 1, 1993, the benefit formula for
credited service on and after April 1, 1985 changed from 1.25% to 1.35% of
Average Final Compensation.
As a result of the termination of the Original Pension Plan, all benefits
accruing to the termination date became vested regardless of an employee's years
of service and annuities were purchased for benefits payable under that plan.
AIG was entitled to receive the surplus remaining in the Original Pension Plan,
other than the portion of the surplus attributable to employee contributions.
The AIG savings plan ("401(k) Plan") for employees provides for salary
reduction contributions by employees and matching contributions by AIG. The
retirement benefits for most employees who participate in both the Current
Retirement Plan and the 401(k) Plan will be substantially greater than the
benefits which would have been received under the Original Pension Plan.
Annual amounts of normal retirement pension commencing at normal retirement
age of 65 based upon Average Final Compensation and credited service under the
Current Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Plan are illustrated in the
following table:

With respect to the individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table on
page 8 other than Mr. Tse, their respective years of credited service (under
both plans) through December 31, 1993 are as follows: Greenberg--33 years;
Matthews--20.2 years; Stempel--44 years; Tizzio--25.7 years. Pensionable salary
includes only the regular salary paid by AIG and its subsidiaries and does not
include amounts attributable to bonuses or overtime pay. For such named
individuals, pensionable salary during 1993 was as follows:
Greenberg--$1,231,731; Matthews--$316,923; Stempel--$200,000; Tizzio--$329,273.
Amounts representing the accrual under the Current Retirement Plan for 1993
cannot readily be individually calculated by the actuaries for the Plan.
During 1986, AIG adopted the Supplemental Plan to provide additional
retirement benefits to designated executives and key employees. Under the
Supplemental Plan, annual benefits, not to exceed 60% of Average Final
Compensation, accrue at a rate of 2.4% of Average Final Compensation for each
year of service or fraction thereof for each full month of active employment.
The benefit payable under the Supplemental Plan is reduced by payments from the
Original Pension Plan, the Current Retirement Plan, Social Security Benefit and
any payments from a qualified pension plan of a prior employer. Messrs.
Greenberg, Matthews, Roberts, Stempel and Tizzio were participants in the
Supplemental Plan at December 31, 1993. Federal legislation limits the benefits
which may be payable from the Current Retirement Plan. Effective January 1,
1991, the Supplemental Plan was amended to provide a benefit to Current
Retirement Plan participants in an amount equal to the reduction in the benefit
payable as a result of the Federal limitation.
Mr. Tse participates in the American International Companies (Hong Kong)
Staff Provident Plan, a defined contribution plan which requires employee
contributions of five percent of salary. Contributions to this plan by AIG vary
based on employee service. During 1993, AIG contributed 12.5 percent of Mr Tse's
pensionable salary of $266,580 to the plan based on his 32.6 years of service.

* From these payments, which constituted approximately 32% of Starr's gross
revenues for the year, Starr is required to pay its operating expenses and
commissions due originating brokers. The amounts are paid at terms available
to unaffiliated parties, and represent approximately .1% of the gross revenues
of AIG.
**These services are provided and obtained at a cost which, in the opinion of
the management of AIG, does not exceed the cost of obtaining such services
from unaffiliated sources.
Mr. Aidinoff is a partner in the law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell, and,
during 1993, Ambassador Hills was a partner in the law firm of Shea & Gould,
both of which in 1993 provided legal services to AIG and its subsidiaries,
receiving normal fees for services rendered.
REPORT OF THE STOCK OPTION AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
The Stock Option and Compensation Committee, currently comprised of Messrs.
Cohen, Gousseland, Hoenemeyer and Howell, is the committee of the Board
responsible for establishing the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and
setting policy for compensation at the senior levels of AIG, as well as
administering AIG's various employee stock option plans.
In determining the compensation which is appropriate for both the Chief
Executive Officer and other members of senior management, the Stock Option and
Compensation Committee's starting point is AIG's salary administration
philosophy, which is to pay within a range that helps meet business objectives
while considering external and internal influences and the level of funding
allocated to fixed compensation expenses. At senior positions, one of the
objectives is to pay at a level that allows AIG to attract, retain and motivate
key executives by paying them competitively compared to peers within a selected
group of major companies in the insurance industry while comparing AIG's
performance to the performance of those companies. In so doing, a variety of
factors are considered, including the performance of AIG relative to those
companies as measured by standards such as net income and its growth over prior
periods, return on equity and property and casualty underwriting performance;
the level of compensation paid to senior officers within the selected group of
companies; the level of individual contribution by these senior officers to the
performance of AIG; and, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, his
compensation as a percentage of net income. During 1993, the Committee did not
use a specific formula in evaluating the various factors, in determining the
specific amount of compensation payable or in determining the allocation of
compensation to salary, bonus and stock option grants but believes that such
compensation is commensurate with the services rendered.
AIG's net income per share and after-tax return on equity (excluding
capital gains) for 1992 were $5.20 and 13.3 percent, respectively, and for 1993
were $6.11 and 13.9 percent, respectively. The average net income per share of
AIG's peer group, which is the same as the peer group used for the performance
graph presented below, was $.22 for 1992 and $3.85 for 1993, respectively, and
the average after-tax return on equity (excluding capital gains) for a larger
industry group selected by Conning & Company, a leading insurance research and
asset management company, was reported by Conning to be -1.2 percent for 1992
and estimated by Conning to be 3.5 percent for 1993, respectively. AIG evaluates
underwriting performance on the basis of the combined ratio (which is the sum of
the statutory loss ratio and the statutory expense ratio), a measure of
underwriting performance commonly used by property and casualty insurers. AIG's
property and casualty underwriting performance for 1992 and 1993, as measured by
its combined ratio, exceeded that of AIG's peer group. AIG's combined ratios for
1992 and 1993 were 102.36 and 100.07, respectively, while those for its peer
group averaged 120.85 and 116.33, respectively. The total compensation of the
Chief Executive Officer for 1993 represented approximately .12 percent of net
income of AIG for that year.
12
14
As part of its consideration of the Chief Executive Officer's compensation,
the Committee also reviewed the activities and accomplishments of the Chief
Executive Officer in promoting the long-term interests of AIG through
participation in the debate on the future of the financial services and
insurance industries, in discussions on trade relations and international
affairs and in similar endeavors.
On the basis of the general factors set forth above, the Committee
determined the base salaries for 1994 and bonuses for 1993 performance.
The Committee has recognized, in making these compensation determinations,
that AIG has traditionally encouraged long-term strategic management and the
enhancement of shareholder value by providing high performing key executives the
opportunity for superior capital accumulation over the course of their careers
with AIG in the form of stock options. This is a tradition that the Committee
believes to have contributed significantly to AIG's considerable success over
the years.
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") denies a tax
deduction to any publicly-held corporation such as AIG for compensation paid to
the chief executive officer and four most highly compensated officers of a
corporation in a taxable year to the extent that any such individual's
compensation exceeds $1,000,000 unless certain requirements for
performance-based compensation are satisfied. It is currently the intention of
AIG that all compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and the four other
most highly compensated officers in excess of $1,000,000 will be
performance-based and therefore will be deductible in accordance with Section
162(m). AIG has adopted and is submitting to its shareholders for their approval
a plan (the "Plan") for performance-based bonus compensation for the Chief
Executive Officer. If the Plan is approved by shareholders and is otherwise in
conformity with applicable laws and regulations, bonus payments to the Chief
Executive Officer pursuant to the Plan will be deductible by AIG for federal
income tax purposes.
No member of the Committee is a former or current officer or employee of
AIG or any of its affiliated companies or is receiving compensation from AIG in
any capacity other than as a director.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The following Performance Graph compares the cumulative total shareholder
return on AIG Common Stock for a five year period (December 31, 1988 to December
31, 1993) with the cumulative total return of the Standard & Poor's 500 stock
index (which includes AIG) and a peer group of companies (the "Peer Group")
consisting of nine multi-line or property/casualty insurance companies to which
AIG has traditionally compared its business and operations: Aetna Life &
Casualty Company, Chubb Corporation, CIGNA Corporation, CNA Financial
Corporation, The Continental Corporation, General Re Corporation, The St. Paul
Companies, The Travelers Corporation and USF & G Corporation. Dividend
reinvestment has been assumed and, with respect to companies in the Peer Group,
the returns of each such company have been weighted to reflect relative stock
market capitalization.

II. APPROVAL OF A PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN
It is proposed by the Board of DIrectors that the performance-based
compensation plan (the "Plan") adopted by the Stock Option and Compensation
Committee be approved.
The Plan provides that, if for any calendar year the pre-tax return, with
certain adjustments, including adjustments in the event of extraordinary
catastrophic losses, on AIG's consolidated common shareholders' equity as of the
prior year-end, with certain adjustments ("Consolidated Common Shareholders'
Equity"), equals or exceeds 15 percent, a bonus shall be paid to the Chief
Executive Officer. The amount of the bonus will range from $750,000 to
$3,550,000 and will depend on the pre-tax return on AIG's Consolidated Common
Shareholders' Equity. The Stock Option and Compensation Committee shall have the
authority to reduce such bonus, but may not increase the bonus payable pursuant
to this Plan without the approval of holders of AIG Common Stock. Had the Plan
been in effect for 1993, the maximum amount payable pursuant to the Plan,
subject to review and possible reduction by the Stock Option and Compensation
Committee, would have been $2,350,000.
If at the end of a calendar quarter a proportionate part of such return has
been earned for the period beginning with the commencement of such calendar year
and ending on the last day of such calendar quarter, the Chief Executive Officer
shall be entitled to a proportionate part of such bonus which shall be paid to
him upon publication of the earnings for such period and the approval of the
Stock Option and Compensation Committee.
Under the requirements for performance-based compensation set forth in
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, compensation paid under the Plan
will not be subject to the deduction limit if the Plan is approved by the
holders of AIG Common Stock and certain other criteria are satisfied. It is the
intent of AIG to operate the Plan so that all amounts paid thereunder are
deductible for federal income tax purposes.
14
16
The Stock Option and Compensation Committee is of the view that adoption of
the Plan will advance the interests of AIG and its shareholders in that it will
provide incentives to the Chief Executive Officer to manage AIG so as to achieve
the indicated returns on Consolidated Common Shareholders' Equity. The Board of
Directors concurs in the view of the Stock Option and Compensation Committee and
is of the further view that shareholders should approve the Plan so that,
assuming compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, payments made
pursuant to the Plan will be deductible by AIG for federal tax purposes.
Approval of this proposal requires approval by a majority of the holders of
AIG Common Stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting. Any shares not
voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will have no impact
on the vote.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR this proposal.
III. APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE 1991 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Board of Directors has adopted, subject to approval of the
shareholders, an amendment to the 1991 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "1991
Plan"). The amendment to the 1991 Plan provides that options may not be granted
to any one person to purchase more than 10% of the aggregate AIG Common Stock
covered by the 1991 Plan (300,000 shares). No other amendments are being made to
the 1991 Plan. An amended and restated copy of the 1991 Plan (the "Amended 1991
Plan") is attached as Appendix A.
The purpose of the Amended 1991 Plan is to advance the growth and
prosperity of AIG and its subsidiaries by providing their officers and other key
employees with additional incentives. The Amended 1991 Plan is to be
administered by a committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") drawn
solely from its members who are not eligible to receive options.
Under the Amended 1991 Plan, options may be granted to such officers and
other key employees to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 present shares
of AIG Common Stock (which reflects adjustment for the stock split in the form
of a 50 percent stock dividend paid in July 1993), at exercise prices not less
than the fair market value of such stock at the dates of grant. Shares to be
reserved for issuance under the Amended 1991 Plan will consist of newly issued
shares or shares acquired by AIG from time to time and held as treasury stock.
Options may be exercisable for periods not exceeding ten years from grant dates
and shall be granted upon such other terms and conditions as the Committee may
approve. No cash consideration will be received for the granting of options.
Options will not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent
and distribution. The Amended 1991 Plan provides that the Committee shall
determine at the time of grant whether all or any part of a stock option shall
be an incentive stock option. The number of shares available for options or
issuable upon the exercise of options, and option prices, will be subject to
antidilution and similar adjustments. Shares subject to options which terminate
or expire prior to exercise will be available for further options under the
Amended 1991 Plan. No options may be granted under the Amended 1991 Plan after
December 31, 2001. The Board may from time to time amend the Amended 1991 Plan,
but no alteration or amendment may be made without the approval of shareholders
if such approval is required by Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 for transactions pursuant to the Amended 1991 Plan to be exempt thereunder.
Because the granting of options under the provisions of the Amended 1991
Plan will be entirely within the discretion of the Committee, it is not possible
to designate the employees to whom options will be granted under the Amended
1991 Plan or the number of shares to be covered by such options. It is expected
that the aggregate number of optionees under the Amended 1991 Plan is not likely
to exceed 1,000.
Grants of options under the 1991 Plan made during 1993 are shown in the
table on page 9. Total options granted to date under the 1991 Plan (as adjusted
for the stock split in the form of a 50 percent stock dividend paid in July
1993) were as follows: Greenberg -- 68,500 shares; Matthews -- 27,700 shares;
Tizzio -- 27,700 shares; Stempel -- 22,100 shares; Tse -- 14,100 shares; all
executive officers as a group -- 271,320 shares; all employees -- 906,760
shares.
The market value of the AIG Common Stock on March 15, 1994 was $83.75 per
share.
TAX MATTERS
Upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option, no income will be
realized by the optionee for federal income tax purposes, and AIG will not be
entitled to any deduction. If the shares received on the exercise of an
incentive stock option are not disposed of within the one-year period beginning
on the date of the transfer of such shares to the optionee, nor within the
two-year period beginning on the date of the grant of the option, any profit
realized by the optionee upon the disposition of such shares will be taxed as
long-term capital gain. In such event, no
15
17
deduction will be allowed to AIG. If the shares are disposed of within the
one-year period from the date of transfer of such shares to the optionee or
within the two-year period from the date of the grant of the option, the excess
of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise or, if less, the
fair market value on the date of disposition, over the exercise price will be
taxable as ordinary income of the optionee at the time of disposition, and AIG
will be entitled to a corresponding deduction at such time.
Upon the grant of an option which is not an incentive stock option, no
income will be realized by the optionee. Upon the exercise of such an option,
the amount by which the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise
exceeds the exercise price will be taxed as ordinary income of the optionee and
AIG will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. The optionee may be required
to pay to AIG the applicable withholding taxes with respect to the ordinary
income realized on exercise of a nonqualified stock option.
Approval of the amendment to the 1991 Plan requires approval by a majority
of the shares of AIG Common Stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting.
Any shares not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will
have no impact on the vote.
Your Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposal to approve the
amendment to the 1991 Plan.
IV. SELECTION OF ACCOUNTANTS
The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have recommended the
employment of Coopers & Lybrand as independent accountants of AIG for 1994. That
firm has no direct or indirect financial interest in AIG or any of its parents
or subsidiaries. Representatives of that firm are expected to be present at the
Annual Meeting with an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so
and to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Approval of the selection of accountants requires approval by a majority of
the shares of AIG Common Stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting. Any
shares not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will have
no impact on the vote.
Your Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposal to employ
Coopers & Lybrand.
V. SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), 100 Witherspoon Street, Louisville,
Kentucky 40202, which states that it owns 83,525 shares of AIG Common Stock, has
notified AIG in writing that it intends to present a resolution for action by
the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. The Adrian Dominican Sisters, 1257 East
Siena Heights Drive, Adrian, Michigan 49221, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America, 122 C Street N.W. Suite 300, Washington, D.C. 20001-2172, the Pension
Fund of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), 155 East Market Street,
Indianapolis, Indiana 46204, and the Unitarian Universalist Association of
Congregations, 25 Beacon Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02108, who state that
they hold 2,600 shares, 2,000 shares, 38,550 shares and 5,490 shares,
respectively, of AIG's Common Stock, have notified AIG that they are joining as
proponents of the resolution to be proposed by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
The text of the resolution and the supporting statement submitted by the
sponsors are as follows:
"1994 RESOLUTION
AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
"WHEREAS equal employment opportunity remains a national priority, and provides
a vehicle to address social and economic injustice.
"WHEREAS American International Group, Inc., headquartered in New York City,
employed approximately 33,000 people in 1992, over 13,000 in the United States:
"RESOLVED that the shareholders request the Board of Directors to provide all
shareholders the following information upon request within six months of the
1994 annual meeting, provided that proprietary information may be omitted and
cost limited to a reasonable amount:
"1. A chart identifying employees according to their sex and race in each
of the nine major EEOC defined job categories for 1991, 1992, and 1993,
listing either numbers or percentages in each category.
"2. A summary description of any Affirmative Action policies and programs
to improve performances, including job categories where women and
minorities are under utilized.
"3. A description of any policies and programs oriented specifically toward
increasing the number of managers who are qualified females and/or
belong to ethnic minorities.
16
18
"4. Any other information which the Board believes will assist shareholders
to understand the company's efforts to promote equal employment
opportunity and equitable treatment for all employees.
"SUPPORTING STATEMENT
"The religious organizations which have filed this resolution have supported
equal employment opportunity and equitable treatment as basic human rights
undergirding economic justice for women and racial/ethnic minorities.
"Equal employment opportunity and equitable treatment are recognized as good
business practice. They encourage employee performance and morale, and help our
workforce reflect the communities where we operate. However, a substandard
record leaves AIG open to expensive legal action, poor employee morale and
potential loss of business.
"We know our company believes that we have a good record. AIG makes employment
decisions solely on the basis of merit, and believes such a practice results in
a diversified workforce throughout the organization. However, we are concerned
as well about subtle discrimination forming a "glass ceiling" blocking access of
women and minorities to top positions. Only one of thirty-two officers listed in
the Annual Report is a woman. Our company refuses to disclose basic EEO
information which would permit shareholders to evaluate whether women and
racial/ethnic persons are represented fairly throughout the company.
"We believe shareholders are entitled to receive EEO information in order to
form independent judgments. Many other companies willingly share EEO information
in various formats. Bristol-Myers Squibb, ABC/Capital Cities and Travelers
produced excellent magazine-style reports. General Motors includes EEO data in
its Public Interest Report.
"Disclosure also keeps the issue high on the company's agenda, and reaffirms a
commitment to equal opportunity. This report would also permit AIG to tell its
story. Your support of this resolution will help promote equal employment
opportunity and equitable treatment. Please mark your proxy in favor."
MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT IN OPPOSITION
Your Board of Directors opposes this proposal. AIG is fully committed to
providing equal employment opportunity and complying with equal employment
opportunity laws. It is AIG's policy to recruit, hire, train and promote into
all job levels the most qualified applicants without regard to race, color,
religion, sex, national origin, age, handicap or veteran status. All employees
at every level are judged only on the basis of their contribution to the company
with emphasis placed on qualities such as imagination, initiative and integrity.
Your Board of Directors believes that the key to non-discrimination is a
qualitative rather than a quantitative methodology.
Your Board of Directors urges a vote against this proposal. The goal of
equal employment opportunity is worthy; it is also one to which AIG has always
been committed. In your Board of Directors' judgment, providing reports is not
the appropriate approach and would not enhance AIG's efforts to provide equal
opportunity.
Approval of this proposal requires approval by a majority of the shares of
AIG Common Stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting. Any shares not
voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will have no impact
on the vote.
Your Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal.
VI. SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL
The Sisters of Mercy Consolidated Asset Management Program, 20 Washington
Square North, New York, New York 10011, which states that it owns 9,000 shares
of AIG Common Stock, has notified AIG in writing that it intends to present a
resolution for action by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. Mercy Health
Services, 34605 Twelve Mile Road, Farmington Hills, Michigan 48331-3221, and the
Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth, P.O. Box 476, Convent Station, New Jersey
07961-0476, who state that they hold 8,809 shares and 750 shares, respectively,
of AIG's Common Stock, have notified AIG that they are joining as proponents of
the resolution to be proposed by the Mercy Consolidated Assets Management
Program. The text of the resolution and the supporting statement submitted by
the sponsors are as follows:

"INSURANCE COMPANIES' TIES TO THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY
"WHEREAS
We are deeply concerned about the ethical implications of insurance
companies investing in the tobacco industry, especially when they are so
critically aware of the negative health effects of smoking;
"Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of death and disease in the United
States, causing an estimated 430,000 deaths last year, with 53,000 more dying
from the effects of passive smoking;
"An estimated $23.7 billion was spent in 1985 to treat diseases caused by
smoking. $10.2 billion was lost because of smoking-induced liability. An
additional $18.5 billion was lost to the economy because of premature deaths
from smoking, all facts insurance companies are well aware of;
"Cigarette companies also have been criticized for their special promotion
campaigns aimed at low-income persons, women, and minorities. The RJR Nabisco
"Joe Camel" ads have been severely criticized by the U.S. Surgeon General who
demanded the company drop the ad campaign because of its manipulative appeal to
young people. Many of the tobacco ads and marketing campaigns by companies like
Philip Morris and RJR Nabisco are highly irresponsible;
"Our company continues to buy stocks and bonds in tobacco companies and to our
knowledge has not done a full review of the social and financial implications of
these holdings:
"We believe an insurance company, which invests in tobacco equities, and stands
for health, sends mixed messages and should review its posture related to these
apparently contradictory positions. We do not assume the only response to this
review must be the sale of tobacco securities. A creative response as an active
shareholder expressing concern to the tobacco company might also be appropriate.
"RESOLVED
That shareholders request the Board to initiate a study conducted at
reasonable cost, of the appropriate ethical response to take related to its
investment in tobacco companies and report to requesting shareholders the
results of this review. This review should focus on the following questions:
"1. The appropriateness of an insurance company holding stock in tobacco
companies and whether it is socially or financially responsible to
divest of this stock. This should take into account the depressed price
of tobacco company stock and expected long term impact on our
portfolio.
"2. Ways in which our company can keep its shares and creatively express
itself to the tobacco companies regarding their policies and practices.
"3. The impact smoking has on our insurance payments for
smoking-attributable deaths, diseases and property loss.
"SUPPORTING STATEMENT
"A number of insurance companies have reviewed the implications of owning
tobacco securities as requested in this resolution. Sears-Allstate has a
smoke-free equity portfolio. Travellers attempts to avoid tobacco investments
where possible. Other major insurance companies don't publicize their stand but
have policies and/or practices that have resulted in prohibitions or limitations
on investments in tobacco companies. Meanwhile institutions like Harvard and
Johns Hopkins have divested all tobacco stocks. We believe this study will
enable concerned shareholders and customers to better understand the thinking of
our Company on this crucial issue."
MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT IN OPPOSITION
Your Board of Directors opposes this proposal. AIG complies with all
Federal, state and other laws and regulations regarding its investment
portfolios. Your Board of Directors believes that AIG shareholders are best
served by not co-mingling investment decisions with what may be considered to be
social issues. Your Board of Directors therefore does not believe it would be
appropriate for AIG to conduct the study or issue the report to shareholders
requested in this proposal. Your Board of Directors urges a vote against this
proposal.
18
20
Approval of this proposal requires approval by a majority of the shares of
AIG Common Stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting. Any shares not
voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will have no impact
on the vote.
Your Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal.
VII. SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 1995 ANNUAL MEETING
All suggestions from shareholders are given careful attention. Proposals
intended for inclusion in next year's proxy statement should be sent to the AIG
Secretary at 70 Pine Street, New York, New York 10270 and must be received by
December 1, 1994.
VIII. OTHER MATTERS
If any other matters properly come before the meeting, it is the intention
of the persons named in the accompanying proxy form to vote the proxy in
accordance with their judgment on such matters.
PROXY SOLICITATION
AIG will bear the cost of this solicitation of proxies. Proxies may be
solicited by mail, personal interview, telephone and telegraph by directors,
their associates, and approximately eight officers and regular employees of AIG
and its subsidiaries. In addition to the foregoing, AIG has retained Georgeson &
Co. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of approximately $8,000
plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements of that firm. AIG will
also reimburse brokers and others holding stock in their names, or in the names
of nominees, for forwarding proxy materials to their principals.

APPENDIX A
AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 1991 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN
(THE "PLAN")
1. Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to advance the interests of
American International Group, Inc. ("AIG") by providing certain of the key
employees of AIG and of any subsidiary corporation of AIG, upon whose judgment,
initiative and efforts the successful conduct of the business AIG largely
depends, with an additional incentive to continue their efforts on behalf of
such corporations, as well as to attract to such corporations people of
training, experience and ability.
2. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the
"Committee") of the Board of Directors of AIG (the "Board") to be drawn solely
from members of the Board who are not eligible to participate in the Plan and
who have not been eligible for one year prior to serving on the Committee. The
Committee is authorized, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to establish
such rules and regulations as it deems necessary for the proper administration
of the Plan and to make such determinations and interpretations and to take such
action in connection with the Plan and any stock options granted thereunder as
it deems necessary or advisable. All determinations and interpretations made by
the Committee shall be binding and conclusive on all optionees and on their
legal representatives and beneficiaries. The Committee shall have the authority,
in its absolute discretion, to determine which of the eligible employees of AIG
and any subsidiary corporation of AIG shall receive stock options, the time when
stock options shall be granted, the terms of such options and the number of
shares for which options shall be granted.
3. Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 7 hereof, the maximum number of shares as to which options may at any
time be granted under the Plan is 2,000,000 shares of the Common Stock of AIG of
the par value of $2.50 per share (the "Common Stock") as such shares shall exist
on December 19, 1991 which shares of Common Stock may, in the discretion of the
Committee, be either authorized but unissued shares or shares previously issued
and reacquired by AIG. AIG may acquire by purchase all or any portion of the
shares which it will need to satisfy stock options, either at the time such
options are exercised or from time to time in advance whenever such purchases
are deemed advisable by the Committee or by such officer or officers of AIG as
the Committee may from time to time designate. Upon the expiration or
termination (in whole or in part) of unexercised options, shares of Common Stock
subject thereto shall again be available for option under the Plan.
4. Eligibility. Key employees of AIG or any subsidiary corporation of
AIG, including officers (whether or not directors), shall be eligible to receive
stock options under the Plan. Directors who are not employees or officers of AIG
or any subsidiary corporation of AIG shall not be eligible to receive stock
options under the Plan.
5. Grant of Stock Options. Stock options may be granted to eligible
employees in such number and at such times during the term of this Plan as the
Committee shall determine; provided, however, that options under this Plan to
purchase more than 10% of the aggregate shares of Common Stock set forth in
Section 3 above (as adjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 7) shall not
be granted to any one employee.
At time of grant, the Committee shall determine (A) whether all or any part
of a stock option granted to an eligible employee shall be an incentive stock
option and (B) the number of shares subject to such incentive stock option. The
form of any stock option which is all or in part an incentive stock option shall
clearly indicate that such stock option is an incentive stock option or, if
applicable, the number of shares subject to the incentive stock option. The
aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time the option is granted) of
the stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the
first time by an eligible employee during any calendar year (under all such
plans of AIG and of any subsidiary corporation of AIG) shall not exceed
$100,000. The term "incentive stock option" means an option meeting the
requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
6. Terms and Conditions of Stock Options. All stock options granted under
the Plan shall be in such form as the Committee may from time to time determine
and shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Option Price. The option price per share with respect to each
option shall be determined by the Committee but shall not be less than 100%
of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the option is
granted, as determined by the Committee.
A-1
22
(b) Term of Option. In no event shall any stock option be exercisable
after the expiration of 10 years from the date on which the stock option is
granted.
(c) Exercise of Stock Option and Payment for Shares. Except as
provided in paragraphs (e) and (f) of this Section below, the shares
covered by each stock option may not be purchased for one year after the
date on which the stock option is granted, but thereafter may be purchased
in such installments as shall be determined by the Committee at the time
the stock option is granted. Any shares not purchased on the applicable
installment date may be purchased thereafter at any time prior to the final
expiration of the stock option. To exercise a stock option, the optionee
shall give written notice to AIG specifying the number of shares to be
purchased and accompanied by payment of the full purchase price therefor:
(i) in cash or by certified or official bank check, (ii) in shares of
Common Stock, valued as of the date of exercise, of the same class as those
to be granted by exercise of the option, or (iii) in a combination of (i)
and (ii). The Common Stock will be valued on the date of exercise at the
fair market value as determined by the Committee. Any person exercising a
stock option shall make such representations and agreements and furnish
such information as the Committee may in its discretion deem necessary or
desirable to assure compliance by AIG, on terms acceptable to AIG, with the
provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and any other applicable legal
requirements. If an optionee so requests, shares purchased may be issued in
the name of the optionee and another jointly with the right of
survivorship.
(d) Non-transferability of Options. No stock option granted under the
Plan shall be transferable by the optionee other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution, and such option shall be exercisable, during
his lifetime, only by the optionee.
(e) Termination of Employment. No part of any option may be exercised
after the termination of employment of an optionee with AIG or subsidiary
corporation of AIG, except that
(i) if such termination of employment is at or after normal
retirement age or due to disability, any portion of an option, whether
or not exercisable at the time of such termination, may be exercised by
the optionee at any time within the term of the option; and
(ii) if such termination of employment is not at or after normal
retirement age or due to disability or death, with the approval of the
Board, any portion of an option may be exercised by the optionee within
three months after such termination, but only to the extent such option
was exercisable at the time of such termination.
(f) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of the optionee
(whether during or after the termination of his employment) any portion of
an option exercisable at the time of death may be exercised within 12
months after the death of the optionee (but in no event after the
expiration of the term of the option) by the person or persons to whom the
optionee's rights under such option are transferred by will or the laws of
descent and distribution. In the event of the death of the optionee during
his employment but prior to the time an option would normally become fully
exercisable, such option shall be considered fully exercisable at the time
of death.
7. Adjustment in Event of Changes in Capitalization. In the event of a
recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination or exchange of
shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, separation, reorganization or
liquidation, or any other change in the corporate structure or shares of AIG,
subsequent to December 19, 1991, the Committee shall make such equitable
adjustments, designed to protect against dilution or enlargement of rights, as
it may deem appropriate, in the number and kind of shares authorized by the Plan
and, with respect to outstanding stock options, in the number and kind of shares
covered thereby and in the option price.
8. Rights as a Shareholder. An optionee shall have no rights as a
shareholder with respect to any shares covered by a stock option until the date
of issuance of a stock certificate for such shares.
9. Withholding Taxes. Whenever shares of Common Stock are to be issued in
satisfaction of stock options granted under the Plan, AIG shall have the right
to require the recipient to remit to AIG an amount sufficient to satisfy all
applicable withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate
or certificates for shares.
10. Terms of Plan. No stock options shall be granted pursuant to the Plan
after December 31, 2001 but stock options theretofore granted may extend beyond
the date and the terms and conditions of the Plan shall continue to apply
thereto.
11. Termination or Amendment of Plan. The Board may at any time terminate
the Plan with respect to any shares of Common Stock of AIG not at the time
subject to option, and may from time to time alter or amend the Plan
A-2
23
or any part thereof, provided that no change may be made in any stock option
theretofore granted which would impair the rights of an optionee without the
consent of such optionee, and further, that no alteration or amendment may be
made without the approval of shareholders if such approval is required by Rule
16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for transactions pursuant to the
Plan to be exempt thereunder.
12. Approval of Shareholders. This Plan has been approved by the
shareholders of AIG at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 13, 1992
and the amendment giving rise to this Amended and Restated Plan has been adopted
on March 14, 1994 by the Board subject to approval by the shareholders of AIG at
the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 16, 1994.
