Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 25, 2022, SAFG Retirement Services, Inc. (“SAFG”), a subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) and the holding company for AIG’s Life and Retirement business, entered into an 18-Month Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the “18-Month DDTL Agreement”) among SAFG, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and the administrative agent thereto, and a 3-Year Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the “3-Year DDTL Agreement”, and together with the 18-Month DDTL Agreement, the “Facilities”) among SAFG, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and the administrative agent thereto. AIG has previously announced its intention to separate its Life and Retirement business from AIG.
The 18-Month DDTL Agreement and 3-Year DDTL Agreement provide SAFG with committed delayed draw term loan facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $6 billion and $3 billion, respectively. The ability to borrow under the Facilities is subject to, among other conditions, SAFG’s confirmation to the administrative agent that an initial public offering of SAFG (“IPO”) is expected to be consummated within five business days following such borrowing. Any commitments under the 18-Month DDTL Agreement that remain undrawn will automatically terminate upon the consummation of an IPO. Commitments under the 3-Year DDTL Agreement will remain available for borrowing until December 30, 2022, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. The proceeds of the Facilities may be used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of the promissory note previously issued by SAFG to AIG in the amount of $8.3 billion, which, as previously disclosed, will be required to be paid to AIG prior to an IPO of SAFG.
Borrowings under each Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR plus an applicable credit spread adjustment plus a margin that varies from 0.750% to 1.250% based on the then applicable credit ratings of SAFG’s senior long-term unsecured debt. Undrawn commitments will accrue commitment fees at a rate that varies from 0.080% to 0.175% based on such credit ratings, commencing 120 days after the date of the Facilities. Loans under the 18-Month DDTL Agreement and 3-Year DDTL Agreement will mature on August 25, 2023, and February 25, 2025, respectively, unless an IPO has not occurred on or prior to December 30, 2022, in which case the loans under both Facilities will mature on such date. Each of the Facilities is subject to mandatory prepayment (or, to the extent undrawn, permanent commitment reductions) to the extent of any net cash proceeds received by SAFG from incurring debt for borrowed money or issuing hybrid securities, in each case, subject to certain exceptions including an exception for up to $500 million of debt or hybrid securities in the aggregate. In addition, if SAFG borrows under either Facility prior to an IPO of SAFG and the IPO does not occur within five business days of such borrowing, SAFG must prepay the outstanding loans, but in such event the Facilities shall remain available for subsequent borrowing.
The Facilities require SAFG to maintain a specified minimum consolidated net worth and subject SAFG to a specified maximum ratio of total consolidated debt to total consolidated capitalization, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. In addition, the Facilities contain certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations with respect to the incurrence of certain types of liens and certain fundamental changes. Amounts due under the Facilities may be accelerated upon an “event of default,” as defined in the Facilities, such as failure to pay amounts owed thereunder when due, breach of a covenant, material inaccuracy of a representation, or occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency, subject in some cases to cure periods.
The foregoing description of the Facilities does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Facilities, copies of which will be attached as exhibits to the AIG’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
