THE PLANS The following summary of the Plans does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plans, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The 1994 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of Starr (the "Board") on December 5, 1994. The 1989 Plan was adopted by the Board on December 5, 1989. Key employees of Starr or any subsidiary of Starr, including officers, are eligible to receive stock options under the Plans. Neither AIG nor Starr has received or will receive any cash or property in consideration of the granting of stock options under the Plans. Subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments provided for in the Plans, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as to which stock options may be granted under the 1994 Plan is 112,500 shares and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as to which stock options may be granted under the 1989 Plan is 53,622. As of August 31, 1995, there were 10,575 shares of Common Stock subject to delivery upon the exercise of stock options then outstanding held by 25 employees under the 1994 Plan and 38,197 shares of Common Stock subject to delivery upon the exercise of stock options then outstanding held by 32 employees under the 1989 Plan. The stock options have an exercise price of 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, are not exercisable for at least one year after the date of grant, are non-transferable (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), have a term of not more than 10 years and are subject to customary anti-dilution provisions. To exercise a stock option, the optionee must give written notice to Starr specifying the number of shares of Common Stock 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, or (iii) in a combination of (i) and (ii). SELLING SHAREHOLDERS The Selling Shareholders will consist of the holders of Selling Shareholder Shares acquired upon exercise of stock options granted under the 1989 Plan. The Selling Shareholders will be listed in a supplement to this Prospectus. Such supplement will indicate any relationship which such Selling Shareholder has had with AIG for the three years preceding the date of such supplement and the number of Selling Shareholder Shares which such Selling Shareholder intends to sell pursuant to this Prospectus. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION OF SELLING SHAREHOLDER SHARES The Selling Shareholder Shares may be sold from time to time by the Selling Shareholders, or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. Such sales may be made on the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or in negotiated transactions. The Selling Shareholder Shares may be sold by one or more of the following: (a) a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell such Selling Shareholder Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (b) purchase of such Selling Shareholder Shares by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus; (c) an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such exchange; and (d) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in the resales. -3- 6 Broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from Selling Shareholders in amounts to be negotiated in connection with the sales. Such broker-dealers and any other participating broker-dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in connection with such sales and any such commission, discount or concession may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this Prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this Prospectus. All costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Selling Shareholder Shares will be borne by Starr. Commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sales of the Selling Shareholder Shares will be borne by the Selling Shareholders. VALIDITY OF COMMON STOCK The validity of the Shares offered hereby will be passed upon by Kathleen E. Shannon, Esq., Associate General Counsel of AIG. Ms. Shannon is regularly employed by AIG, participates in various AIG employee benefit plans under which she may receive shares of Common Stock and currently beneficially owns less than 1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. EXPERTS The consolidated financial statements and schedules of AIG as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, included in AIG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994, have been audited by Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., independent public accountants, as indicated in their reports with respect thereto, dated February 23, 1995, and are incorporated by reference into this Prospectus in reliance thereon upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. -4- 7 ==================================================== TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Certificate") provides that the Company shall indemnify to the full extent permitted by law any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or serves or served any other enterprise at the request of the Company. Section 6.4 of the Company's By-laws contains a similar provision. The Certificate also provides that a director will not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that such an exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "GCL"). Section 145 of the GCL permits indemnification against expenses, fines, judgments and settlements incurred by any director, officer or employee of the Company in the event of pending or threatened civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings, if such person was, or was threatened to be made, a party by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company. Section 145 also provides that the indemnification provided for therein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries maintain a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy. II-1 13 ITEM 16. EXHIBIT LIST.

ITEM 17. CERTAIN UNDERTAKINGS. (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement, and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that subparagraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement; (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The Registrant undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the II-3 15 Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-4 16 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York and State of New York, on the 22nd day of September, 1995.

               [AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC. LETTERHEAD]



September 22, 1995

American International Group, Inc.
70 Pine Street
New York, New York 10270

Dear Sirs:

In connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Act") of 67,631 shares (the "Securities") of Common Stock, par value $2.50 per
share, of American International Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), I, as Associate General Counsel of the Company, have examined such
corporate records, certificates and other documents, and such questions of law,
as I have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. 
Upon the basis of such examination, I advise you that, in my opinion:

        1.  With respect to the Securities to be acquired upon the exercise of
stock options granted by the Company (the "AIG Option Shares"), when the
registration statement relating to the Securities (the "Registration
Statement") has become effective under the Act and the AIG Option Shares have
been duly issued upon the exercise of the related stock options as contemplated
by the Registration Statement, the AIG Option Shares will be validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.

        2.  With respect to the Securities to be acquired upon the exercise of
stock options granted under the 1994 Stock Option Plan of C.V. Starr & Co.,
Inc. (the "1994 Star Shares"), when the 1994 Starr Shares are delivered upon the
exercise of the related stock options in accordance with their terms as
contemplated by the Registration Statement, the 1994 Starr Shares will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

        3.  With respect to the Securities that have been acquired upon the
exercise of stock options under the 1989 Stock Option Plan of C.V. Starr & Co.,
Inc. (the "1989 Issued Shares"), the 1989 Issued Shares have been validly issued
and are fully paid and non-assessable.

        4.  With respect to the Securities to be acquired upon the exercise of
stock options granted under the 1989 Stock Option Plan of C.V. Starr & Co.,
Inc. (the "1989 Unissued Shares"), when the 1989 Unissued Shares have been
delivered upon the exercise of the related stock options in accordance with
their terms as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the 1989 Unissued
Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States and
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and I am expressing no
opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

I have relied as to certain matters on information obtained from public
officials, officers of the Company and other sources believed by me to be
responsible.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the references to me under the headings "Validity of Common
Stock" in each of the Prospectuses.  In giving such consent, I do not thereby
admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under
Section 7 of the Act.

Very truly yours,



/s/ KATHLEEN E. SHANNON
