SUSPENSION OF TRADING

The Board of Directors of AIA Group Limited (“the Company” or “AIA”) has been informed by American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) that AIG has commenced a potential placing of a significant proportion of its shares in the Company. AIG is expected to use the proceeds to further reduce the balance of its indebtedness to the US Department of the Treasury as set out in its press release dated 4 March, 2012 with respect to this potential placing. AIG currently holds 32.89% of AIA’s outstanding ordinary shares.

The Company believes that it is in the interests of the Company and the shareholders that trading in the shares of the Company be suspended pending release of a further announcement regarding AIG’s potential placement.

As a result, the Company announces that, at the request of the Company, trading in the shares of the Company on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited will be suspended with effect from 9:00 a.m. on 5 March, 2012 pending the release of an announcement which may be price sensitive in nature. If the placing proceeds, AIG expects the pricing of the placing to occur no later than 6 March, 2012. It is the Company’s expectation that trading in the Company’s shares will resume no later than 7 March, 2012.
