AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
American International Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a holding
company which through its subsidiaries is primarily engaged in a broad range of
insurance and insurance-related activities in the United States and abroad.
AIG's primary activities include both general and life insurance operations.
Other significant activities are financial services and agency and service fee
operations. The principal executive offices of AIG are located at 70 Pine
Street, New York, New York 10270, telephone (212) 770-7000.
GENERAL INSURANCE OPERATIONS
AIG's general insurance subsidiaries are multiple line companies writing
substantially all lines of property and casualty insurance. One or more of these
companies is licensed to write substantially all of these lines in all states of
the United States and in more than 100 foreign countries.
AIG's business derived from brokers in the United States and Canada is
conducted through its domestic brokerage division, consisting of American Home
Assurance Company, National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA,
Lexington Insurance Company ("Lexington") and certain other insurance company
subsidiaries of AIG. This division accepts business mainly from insurance
brokers, enabling selection of specialized markets and retention of underwriting
control. Any licensed broker is able to submit business to these companies
without the traditional agent-company contractual relationship, but such broker
usually has no authority to commit the companies to accept a risk.
In addition to writing substantially all classes of business insurance,
including large commercial or industrial property insurance, excess liability,
inland marine, workers' compensation and excess and umbrella coverages, the
domestic brokerage division offers many specialized forms of insurance such as
directors' and officers' liability, difference-in-conditions, kidnap-ransom,
export credit and political risk and various types of professional errors and
omissions coverages. The companies also engage in mass marketing of personal and
other coverages. Lexington writes surplus lines -- those coverages for which
conventional insurance companies do not readily provide insurance coverage,
either because of complexity or because the coverage does not lend itself to
conventional contracts.
The business of United Guaranty Corporation ("UGC") and its subsidiaries is
also included in the domestic operations of AIG. The principal business of the
UGC subsidiaries is the writing of residential mortgage loan insurance, which is
guaranty insurance on conventional first mortgage loans on single-family
dwellings and condominiums. Such insurance protects lenders against loss if
borrowers default. UGC subsidiaries also write commercial mortgage loan
insurance covering first mortgage loans on commercial real estate, home equity
and property improvement loan insurance on loans to finance residential property
improvements, alterations, repairs and for other purposes not necessarily
related to real estate, and rent guaranty insurance on commercial and industrial
real estate.
AIG's foreign general insurance business is comprised primarily of risks
underwritten through American International Underwriters, a marketing unit
consisting of wholly owned agencies and insurance companies. It also includes
business written by foreign-based insurance subsidiaries of American
International Underwriters Overseas, Ltd. ("AIUO") for their own accounts. In
general, the same types of policies and marketing methods, with certain
refinements for local laws, customs and needs, are used in these foreign
operations as have been described above in connection with the domestic
operations.
AIG's general insurance company subsidiaries worldwide operate primarily by
underwriting and accepting any size risk for their direct account and securing
reinsurance on that portion of the risk in excess of that which they wish to
retain. This operating policy differs from that of many insurance companies
which will underwrite only up to their net retention limit, thereby requiring
the broker or agent to secure commitments from other underwriters for the
remainder of the gross risk amount. AIG maintains reinsurance relationships with
a large number of reinsurers in the United States and abroad.

Statutory combined loss and expense ratios (after dividends to
policyholders) of AIG's consolidated general insurance operations from 1990
through 1994 were as follows:
1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
----- ----- ----- ----- -----
AIG Combined Loss and Expense Ratio................... 98.7 100.1 102.4 100.4 99.6
Industry Combined Loss and Expense Ratio*............. 109.7 107.9 119.1 109.5 109.4
- ------------
* Source: Best's Aggregates & Averages (Stock insurance companies, after
dividends to policyholders).
LIFE INSURANCE OPERATIONS
AIG's life insurance subsidiaries offer a wide range of traditional
insurance and financial and investment products. One or more of these companies
is licensed to write life insurance in all states in the United States and in
over 70 foreign countries.
In the United States, AIG has four domestic life subsidiaries: American
International Life Assurance Company of New York, AIG Life Insurance Company,
Delaware American Life Insurance Company, and Pacific Union Assurance Company.
These companies utilize multiple distribution channels including brokerage and
career and general agents to offer primarily financial and investment products
and specialty forms of accident and health coverage for individuals and groups,
including employee benefit plans.
AIG operates overseas through four main subsidiary companies, American Life
Insurance Company ("ALICO"), American International Assurance Company, Limited
("AIA"), Nan Shan Life Insurance Company Ltd. ("Nan Shan") and The Philippine
American Life Insurance Company ("Philam"). AIA operates primarily in Hong Kong,
Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Nan Shan operates primarily in Taiwan and
Philam in the Philippines. Although ALICO is incorporated in Delaware, all of
its business is written outside of the United States. ALICO has operations
either directly or through subsidiaries in approximately 50 countries located in
Europe, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and the Far East, with Japan
being the largest territory. The foreign life companies have approximately
100,000 career agents and sell their products largely to indigenous persons in
local currencies. In addition to the agency outlets, these companies also
distribute their products through direct marketing channels, such as mass
marketing, and through brokers and other distribution outlets such as financial
institutions.
Traditional life insurance products such as whole life and endowment
continue to be significant in the overseas companies, especially in Southeast
Asia, while a mixture of traditional, accident and health and financial products
are sold in Japan.
In addition to the above, AIG also has subsidiary operations in Switzerland
(Ticino Societa d'Assicurazioni Sulla Vita) and Puerto Rico (American
International Life Insurance Company of Puerto Rico), and conducts life
insurance business through AIUO subsidiary companies in certain countries in
Central and South America.
AGENCY AND SERVICE FEE OPERATIONS
AIG's agency and service fee operations contribute to AIG earnings through
fees as agents and managers, the premiums they generate for AIG's insurance
companies and the revenues they produce from technical and support service
activities.
Several AIG companies act as managing general agents for both AIG
subsidiaries and non-affiliated insurance companies, accepting liability on
risks and actively managing the business produced. These general agencies deal
directly with the producing agents and brokers, exercise full underwriting
control, issue policies, collect premiums, arrange reinsurance, perform
accounting, actuarial and safety and loss control services, adjust and pay
losses and claims, and settle net balances with the represented companies. In
some cases, they also maintain their own and the represented companies'
authority to do business in the jurisdictions in which they operate.

FINANCIAL SERVICES OPERATIONS
AIG operations which contribute to financial services income include,
primarily, A.I. Credit Corp. ("AICCO"), AIG Financial Products Corp. and its
subsidiary companies ("AIGFP"), AIG Trading Group Inc. ("AIG Trading"),
International Lease Finance Corporation ("ILFC") and Ueberseebank, A.G. AICCO's
business is principally in premium financing. AIGFP engages in financial
transactions, including long-dated interest rate and currency swaps, and
structures borrowings through guaranteed investment agreements. AIG Trading
engages in various commodities trading, foreign exchange trading and market
making activities. ILFC is primarily engaged in the acquisition of new and used
commercial jet aircraft and the leasing and remarketing of such aircraft to
airlines around the world. Ueberseebank A.G. operates as a Swiss bank. Other
financial services operations are AIG Global Investors, Inc. and AIG Investment
Corporation and their subsidiaries, which manage the investment portfolios of
various AIG subsidiaries.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, AIG intends to add
the net proceeds from the sale of the Debt Securities to its general funds to be
used by AIG and its subsidiaries for general corporate purposes including
possible investments in, or extensions of credit to, subsidiaries.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
The following table sets forth the historical ratios of earnings to fixed
charges of AIG and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods indicated:
NINE MONTHS
ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
- ------------- ----------------------------------------
1995 1994 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----- ---- ----
3.09 3.02 3.03 3.08 2.67 3.00 3.63
Earnings represent income from operations before income taxes plus fixed charges
and dividends received from less than fifty percent owned persons, and exclude
capitalized interest and the equity income of less than fifty percent owned
persons. Fixed charges include interest, whether expensed or capitalized, and
the proportion of rental expense deemed representative of the interest factor.
The ratios shown are significantly affected as a result of the inclusion of
the fixed charges and operating results of AIGFP. AIGFP structures borrowings
through guaranteed investment agreements and engages in other complex financial
transactions, including interest rate and currency swaps. In the course of its
business, AIGFP enters into borrowings that are primarily used to purchase
assets that yield rates greater than the rates on the borrowings with the intent
of earning a profit on the spread and to finance the acquisition of securities
utilized to hedge certain transactions. The pro forma ratios of earnings to
fixed charges, excluding the effects of the operating results of AIGFP, were
4.67 and 5.45 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, and 5.23, 5.66, 5.15, 5.40 and 7.27 for 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991 and
1990, respectively. As AIGFP will continue to be a subsidiary, AIG expects that
AIG's ratios of earnings to fixed charges will continue to be lower than they
would be if the fixed charges and operating results of AIGFP were not included
therein.
DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of
the Debt Securities to which any Prospectus Supplement may relate. The
particular terms of the Debt Securities offered by any Prospectus Supplement and
the extent, if any, to which such general provisions may apply to the Debt
Securities so offered will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to
such Debt Securities.
The Debt Securities are to be issued under an indenture dated as of July 15,
1989, as from time to time supplemented (the "Indenture"), from AIG to The Bank
of New York, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), a copy of which is filed as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement, of which this Prospectus is a part. The following
summaries of certain provisions of the Indenture do not purport to be complete
and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the
provisions of the Indenture, including the definitions therein of certain terms.
Wherever particular provisions or defined terms of the Indenture are referred to
herein or in a Prospectus Supplement, such provisions or defined terms are
incorporated herein or therein by reference.

GENERAL
The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Debt
Securities which may be issued thereunder and provides that Debt Securities may
be issued thereunder from time to time in one or more series. The Debt
Securities will be unsecured obligations of AIG and will rank pari passu with
all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of AIG.

dates from which any such interest will accrue; (6) the dates on which such
interest will be payable and the Regular Record Dates for such Interest Payment
Dates; (7) any mandatory or optional sinking fund or purchase fund or analogous
provisions; (8) if applicable, the date after which and the price at which such
Offered Debt Securities may, pursuant to any optional or mandatory redemption
provisions, be redeemed at the option of AIG or of the Holder thereof and the
other detailed terms and provisions of such optional or mandatory redemption;
(9) if other than U.S. dollars, the currency or currencies of payment of
principal and interest and any premium on the Offered Debt Securities of such
series (which may be a composite currency such as the European Currency Unit and
which may be different for principal, premium, if any, and interest); (10) the
Person to whom any interest on an Offered Debt Security of such series will be
payable, if other than the Person in whose name that Offered Debt Security (or
one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on
the Regular Record Date for such interest; (11) the denominations in which such
Offered Debt Securities will be issuable, if other than denominations of $1,000
and any integral multiple thereof; (12) if the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest, on such Offered Debt Securities are to be payable, at the election of
AIG or a Holder thereof, in a currency or currencies other than that in which
such Offered Debt Securities are stated to be payable, the currency or
currencies in which such payment may be made, and the period or periods within
which, and the terms and conditions upon which, such election may be made; (13)
the portion of the principal amount of such Offered Debt Securities which will
be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof, if other
than the principal amount thereof; (14) whether the provisions of the Indenture
described under "Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" will be applicable to such
Offered Debt Securities; (15) any additional restrictive covenants included for
the benefit of such Offered Debt Securities; (16) any additional Events of
Default provided with respect to such Offered Debt Securities; (17) any index
used to determine the amount of payments of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on the Offered Debt Securities of the series; (18) the place or places
where the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Offered Debt
Securities will be payable; (19) the period or periods within which, the price
or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which the Offered Debt
Securities may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company;
and (20) any additional provisions or other special terms (including covenants
to be applicable to the Offered Debt Securities) not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Indenture, including any terms which may be required by or
advisable under United States laws or regulations or advisable in connection
with the marketing of the Offered Debt Securities of such series. (Section 301)
Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto,
principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Offered Debt
Securities will be payable, and the Offered Debt Securities will be exchangeable
and transfers thereof will be registrable, at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee at 101 Barclay Street, Floor 21W, New York, New York 10286 (the
"Principal Trust Office"), provided that, at the option of AIG, payment of
interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as it appears in the Security Register. (Sections 202, 305 and 1002)
Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto,
the Offered Debt Securities will be issued only in fully registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof. (Section
302) No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of such Offered
Debt Securities, but AIG may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other
6
8
governmental charge payable in connection therewith. (Section 305) The Indenture
also provides that the Debt Securities of any series may be issued in the form
of one or more permanent global certificates. See "Permanent Global Securities".
Debt Securities may be issued under the Indenture as Original Issue Discount
Securities to be offered and sold at a substantial discount from the principal
amount thereof. If the Offered Debt Securities are Original Issue Discount
Securities, special federal income tax, accounting and other considerations
applicable thereto will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating
thereto. "Original Issue Discount Security" means any security which provides
for an amount less than the principal amount thereof to be due and payable upon
the declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default and the continuation thereof. (Section 101)
If the Offered Debt Securities are denominated in whole or in part in any
currency other than U.S. Dollars, or if any index is used to determine the
amount of payments of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any series
of the Offered Debt Securities, special federal income tax, accounting and other
considerations applicable thereto will be described in the Prospectus Supplement
relating thereto.
PERMANENT GLOBAL SECURITIES
If any Debt Securities of a series are issuable in the form of one or more
permanent global certificates, the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto will
describe the circumstances, if any, under which beneficial owners of interests
in any such permanent global Debt Security may exchange such interests for Debt
Securities of such series and like tenor of any authorized form and
denomination. Principal of and any premium and interest on a permanent global
Debt Security will be payable in the manner described in the Prospectus
Supplement relating thereto. (Section 204)
LIMITATION ON LIENS ON VOTING STOCK OF DESIGNATED SUBSIDIARIES
Except as otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement applicable
thereto with respect to the Offered Debt Securities of any series, AIG will not,
and will not permit any Designated Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly,
create, issue, assume, incur or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed
which is secured by a mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or other
encumbrance of any nature on any of the present or future Voting Stock of a
Designated Subsidiary unless the Debt Securities and, if AIG so elects, any
other indebtedness of AIG ranking at least pari passu with the Debt Securities,
shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such other secured
indebtedness for money borrowed so long as it is outstanding. The Indenture does
not prevent the sale or other disposition of a Designated Subsidiary. (Section
1006)
For purposes of the Indenture, Designated Subsidiary means American Home
Assurance Company, National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA, and
any Subsidiary the assets of which, determined as of the last day of the most
recent calendar quarter ended at least 30 days prior to the date of such
determination and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as
in effect on the last day of such calendar quarter, exceed 20% of the
Consolidated Assets of AIG. As of March 31, 1995, there were no Subsidiaries of
AIG with assets, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles as in effect on that date, in excess of 20% of the Consolidated
Assets of AIG. For purposes of the Indenture, Subsidiary means a corporation,
partnership or trust more than 50% of the outstanding Voting Stock of which is
owned, directly or indirectly, by AIG or by one or more other Subsidiaries, or
by AIG and one or more other Subsidiaries; and Consolidated Assets of AIG means
the assets of AIG and its consolidated subsidiaries, to be determined as of the
last day of the most recent calendar quarter ended at least 30 days prior to the
date of such determination and in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles as in effect on the last day of such calendar quarter. (Section 101)
DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
The Indenture provides, if such provision is made applicable to the Debt
Securities of any series pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture (which will be
indicated in the Prospectus Supplement applicable thereto), that AIG may elect
either (A) to defease and be discharged from any and all
7
9
obligations with respect to such Debt Securities then outstanding (except for
the obligations to register the transfer or exchange of such Debt Securities, to
replace temporary or mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities, to
maintain an office or agency in respect of the Debt Securities and to hold
moneys for payment in trust) ("defeasance") or (B) to be released from its
obligations with respect to such Debt Securities then outstanding under Section
1006 (and any other sections applicable to such Debt Securities that are
determined pursuant to Section 301 to be subject to covenant defeasance), and
the occurrence of an event of default specified in Section 501(4) (insofar as it
is with respect to Section 1006 or any other section applicable to such Debt
Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 301 to be subject to covenant
defeasance) or Section 501(5) of the Indenture (Section 1006 containing the
restrictions described under "Limitation on Liens on Voting Stock of Designated
Subsidiaries", and Sections 501(4) and 501(5) containing the provisions
described under "Events of Default" relating to covenant defaults and
cross-defaults, respectively) ("covenant defeasance"), upon the deposit with the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee), in trust for such purpose, of money,
and/or U.S. Government Obligations which through the payment of principal and
interest in accordance with their terms will provide money, in an amount
sufficient, without reinvestment, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest on such Debt Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may
be, and any mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments thereon. As a condition
to defeasance or covenant defeasance, AIG must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel (as specified in the Indenture) to the effect that the Holders of
such Debt Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income
tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be
subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the
same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance
had not occurred. Such opinion, in the case of defeasance under clause (A)
above, must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service
or a change in applicable Federal income tax law occurring after the date of the
Indenture.
Under current Federal income tax law, defeasance would likely be treated as
a taxable exchange of such Debt Securities for interests in the defeasance
trust. As a consequence a Holder would recognize gain or loss equal to the
difference between the Holder's cost or other tax basis for such Debt Securities
and the value of the Holder's proportionate interest in the defeasance trust,
and thereafter would be required to include in income a proportionate share of
the income, gain and loss of the defeasance trust. Under current Federal income
tax law, covenant defeasance would ordinarily not be treated as a taxable
exchange of such Debt Securities. Purchasers of such Debt Securities should
consult their own advisors with respect to the more detailed tax consequences to
them of such defeasance and covenant defeasance, including the applicability and
effect of tax laws other than the Federal income tax law.
AIG may exercise its defeasance option with respect to such Debt Securities
notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. If AIG
exercises its defeasance option, payment of such Debt Securities may not be
accelerated because of an Event of Default. If AIG exercises its covenant
defeasance option, payment of such Debt Securities may not be accelerated by
reference to the covenants noted under clause (B) above. However, if such an
acceleration were to occur, the realizable value at the acceleration date of the
money and U.S. Government Obligations in the defeasance trust could be less than
the principal and interest then due on such Debt Securities, in that the
required deposit in the defeasance trust is based upon scheduled cash flows
rather than market value, which will vary depending upon interest rates and
other factors.
The Prospectus Supplement may further describe the provisions, if any,
applicable to defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the Debt
Securities of a particular series. (Article Thirteen)
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The following are Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to Debt
Securities of any series: (a) failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, on
any Debt Security of that series when due; (b) failure to pay any interest on
any Debt Security of that series when due, continued for 30 days; (c) failure to
deposit any sinking fund payment, when due, in respect of any Debt Security of
that series; (d) failure to perform any other covenant of AIG in the Indenture
or any Debt Security of that series (other than a covenant included in the
Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Debt Securities other than that
series), continued for 60 days after written notice as provided in the
Indenture; (e) acceleration of Debt Securities of any other series issued under
the Indenture if such acceleration is not rescinded or annulled
8
10
or if the indebtedness evidenced by such Debt Securities is not discharged,
within 30 days after written notice as provided in the Indenture; (f) certain
events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; and (g) any other Event of
Default provided with respect to Debt Securities of that series. (Section 501)
If an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of any series at the time
outstanding shall occur and be continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of
at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that
series may declare the principal amount (or, if the Debt Securities of that
series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal
amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all Debt Securities
of that series to be due and payable immediately. However, at any time after a
declaration of acceleration with respect to Debt Securities of any series has
been made, but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration has been
obtained, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Outstanding Debt
Securities of that series may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul
such acceleration. (Section 502) For information as to waiver of defaults, see
"Modification and Waiver".
Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement relating to any series of
Debt Securities which are Original Issue Discount Securities for the particular
provisions relating to acceleration of the Maturity of a portion of the
principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default and the continuation thereof.
The Indenture provides that, subject to the duty of the Trustee during
default to act with the required standard of care, the Trustee will be under no
obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the
request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders shall have
offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity. (Section 603) Subject
to such provisions for security or indemnification of the Trustee, the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any
series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust
or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Debt Securities of that
series. (Section 512)
AIG will be required to furnish to the Trustee annually a statement as to
the performance by AIG of certain of its obligations under the Indenture and as
to any default in such performance. (Section 1007)
MODIFICATION AND WAIVER
Modifications and amendments of the Indenture may be made by AIG and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of 66 2/3% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected thereby; provided, however,
that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the Holder of
each Outstanding Debt Security affected thereby: (a) change the stated maturity
date of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any
Debt Security; (b) reduce the principal amount of, or the premium (if any) or
interest on, any Debt Security; (c) adversely affect any right of repayment at
the option of the Holder of any Debt Security, or reduce the amount of, or
postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous
obligation; (d) reduce the amount of principal of an Original Issue Discount
Security payable upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof; (e) change the place
or currency of payment of principal of, or premium (if any) or interest on, any
Debt Security; (f) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any
payment on or with respect to any Debt Security; or (g) reduce the percentage in
principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities of any series, the consent of
the Holders of which is required for modification or amendment of the Indenture
or for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or for
waiver of certain defaults. (Section 902)
The Holders of 66 2/3% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt
Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all Debt Securities of
that series waive, insofar as that series is concerned, compliance by AIG with
certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture. (Section 1008) The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series
may on behalf of the Holders of all Debt Securities of that series waive any
past default under the Indenture with respect to that series, except a default
in the payment of the principal of, or the premium (if any) or interest on any
Debt Security of that series or in respect of a provision which under the
Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of
each Outstanding Debt Security of that series affected. (Section 513)
9
11
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND SALE OF ASSETS
AIG, without the consent of any Holders of Outstanding Debt Securities, may
consolidate with or merge into or convey, or transfer or lease its properties
and assets substantially as an entirety to, any Person, and any other Person may
consolidate with or merge into or convey, or transfer or lease its properties
and assets substantially as an entirety to, AIG, provided that (a) the Person
(if other than AIG) formed by such consolidation or into which AIG is merged or
which acquires or leases the assets of AIG substantially as an entirety is
organized and existing under the laws of any United States jurisdiction and
assumes AIG's obligations on the Debt Securities and under the Indenture, (b)
after giving effect to such transaction no Event of Default, and no event which,
after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall
have happened and be continuing, and (c) certain other conditions are met.
(Article Eight)
REGARDING THE TRUSTEE
The Bank of New York from time to time provides normal banking services to
AIG and its subsidiaries. In addition, The Bank of New York is a participant in
two syndicated revolving credit facilities aggregating $1 billion in commitments
with AIG, in which The Bank of New York's aggregate commitments as of December
31, 1995 were $40 million.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
AIG may sell the Debt Securities in any of three ways: (i) through agents;
(ii) through underwriters or dealers; or (iii) directly. The Prospectus
Supplement with respect to the Debt Securities being offered thereby sets forth
the terms of the offering of such Debt Securities including the name or names of
any agents, underwriters or dealers, the purchase price of such Debt Securities
and the proceeds to AIG from such sale, any underwriting discounts and other
items constituting underwriters' compensation and any discounts and commissions
allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers or agents. Any initial public offering
price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers
or agents may be changed from time to time.
Debt Securities may be sold directly by AIG or through agents designated by
AIG from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of any Debt
Securities will be named in the Prospectus Supplement relating to that offering.
Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, any such agent is
acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
The Debt Securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting
syndicates or by one or more underwriters. If an underwriter or underwriters are
utilized in the sale of Debt Securities, AIG will execute an underwriting
agreement with such underwriters and the names of the underwriters and the terms
of the transaction will be set forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating to
such Debt Securities. Unless otherwise set forth in the Prospectus Supplement,
the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the Debt Securities will be
subject to certain conditions and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase
all the Debt Securities if any are purchased. In connection with the sale of
Debt Securities, underwriters may be deemed to have received compensation from
AIG in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive
commissions from purchasers of Debt Securities for whom they may act as agent.
Underwriters may sell Debt Securities to or through dealers, and such dealers
may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions
from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may
act as agent.
Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of Debt
Securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions
received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the Debt
Securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions, under the
1933 Act. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled under agreements
which may be entered into by AIG to indemnification by AIG against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the 1933 Act, or to contribution with
respect to payments which the underwriters or agents may be required to make in
respect thereof.
The Debt Securities may be sold at a fixed price or prices, which may be
changed, or from time to time at market prices prevailing at the time of sale,
at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Debt
Securities may also be issued in exchange for one or more of AIG's outstanding
10
12
issues of securities and such Debt Securities may be offered and sold in any
such manner by such exchanging holders.
If so indicated in the relevant Prospectus Supplement, AIG will authorize
underwriters or other persons acting as AIG's agents to solicit offers by
certain institutions to purchase Debt Securities from AIG pursuant to Delayed
Delivery Contracts ("Contracts") providing for payment and delivery on the date
or dates stated in such Prospectus Supplement. Each Contract will be for an
amount not less than, and the aggregate amount of Debt Securities sold pursuant
to Contracts shall be not less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in
the Prospectus Supplement. Institutions with whom Contracts, when authorized,
may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension
funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions, and other
institutions, but will in all cases be subject to the approval of AIG. The
obligations of any purchaser under any Contract will not be subject to any
conditions except (i) the purchase by an institution of the Debt Securities
covered by its Contract shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under
the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States to which such institution is
subject and (ii) if Debt Securities are also being sold to underwriters, AIG
shall have sold to such underwriters the total principal amount of such Debt
Securities less the principal amount thereof covered by Contracts. The
underwriters and such agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the
validity or performance of Contracts.
Certain of the underwriters and their associates may be customers of, engage
in transactions with and perform services for AIG and its subsidiaries in the
ordinary course of business.
VALIDITY OF DEBT SECURITIES
Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement relating to any Debt
Securities, the validity of such Debt Securities will be passed upon for AIG by
Sullivan & Cromwell, New York, New York, and for any underwriters or agents by
such counsel as will be named in the Prospectus Supplement. M. Bernard Aidinoff,
a Director of AIG, is a partner of Sullivan & Cromwell and owns 7,422 shares of
AIG Common Stock. Other partners of Sullivan & Cromwell involved in the
representation of AIG from time to time beneficially own approximately 7,100
shares of AIG Common Stock.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of AIG (the "Certificate")
provides:
"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 GCL permits indemnification against expenses, fines,
judgments and settlements incurred by any director, officer or employee of AIG
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
AIG. 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, AIG and its subsidiaries
maintain a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy.

ITEM 17. 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 the 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 the 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
II-2
16
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 the Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the
undertakings set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
clauses is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 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;
(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; and
(4) that, for purposes 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 against the
registrant by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the 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.
