PROXY STATEMENT

June 27, 2005

The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of American International Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AIG”), to be held on August 11, 2005, or at any adjournment thereof. It may be revoked at any time prior to its use. Proxies will be voted as specified and, unless otherwise specified, will be voted for the election of directors, for the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as AIG’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2005, and otherwise in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting the proxy on any other matter properly brought before the Annual Meeting. These proxy materials are being mailed to shareholders of AIG commencing on or about June 27, 2005.

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on June 24, 2005 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, 2,595,066,648 shares (exclusive of shares held by AIG and certain subsidiaries) of common stock, par value $2.50 per share (“AIG Common Stock”), were outstanding, each such share of AIG Common Stock having one vote.

Proxies marked as abstaining, and any proxies returned by brokers as “non-votes” on behalf of shares held in street name because beneficial owners’ discretion has been withheld as to one or more matters on the agenda for the Annual Meeting, will be treated as present for purposes of determining a quorum for the Annual Meeting. With respect to the election of directors, any shares not voted as a result of an abstention or a broker non-vote will have no impact on the vote. With respect to the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as AIG’s independent registered public accounting firm, a broker non-vote will have no impact on the vote while an abstention will effectively be treated as a vote against the proposal.

Corporate Governance, Board of Directors and Committees

Governance Principles

AIG’s Board has established the AIG Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Guidelines”), which are included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement, to promote the effective functioning of the Board and its committees, to promote the interests of shareholders and to establish a common set of expectations for the governance of the organization. All of AIG’s corporate governance materials, including the Guidelines and Committee charters, as well as AIG’s Code of Conduct for employees, are published in the Corporate Governance section of AIG’s corporate website at www.aigcorporate.com . AIG’s Board regularly reviews

5 PAGEBREAK

corporate governance developments and modifies its guidelines, charters and practices as warranted. AIG’s By-laws and the Guidelines were last amended in June 2005, to reflect the current policy of the Board that the position of Chairman should be separate from the position of Chief Executive Officer and should be selected from the independent directors. In accordance with the Guidelines, Mr. Zarb has been named Interim Chairman of the Board. Mr. Zarb has expressed his intention to serve as Interim Chairman only for a limited period and has requested that the Nominating and Governance Committee address the issue of a successor for the Chairman position prior to the end of 2005. The Guidelines were also amended to reflect that at least two-thirds of the directors shall be independent under the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) listing standards. These modifications have been and any further modifications will be reflected in the Corporate Governance section of www.aigcorporate.com .

In addition, AIG has adopted a Director, Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officer Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and a Code of Conduct for employees, which are available free of charge or through the Investor Information section of www.aigcorporate.com . Any amendment to AIG’s Director, Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officer Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and any waiver applicable to AIG’s directors, executive officers or senior financial officers will be posted on AIG’s website within the time period required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the NYSE.

Using the Director Independence Standards, which are included as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement and which were last amended in March 2005 to conform to changes in NYSE rules, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, determined that Mrs. Hills and Messrs. Aidinoff, Chia, Marshall Cohen, William Cohen, Feldstein, Hammerman, Holbrooke, Miles, Offit and Zarb are independent under the current NYSE listing standards.

In making their independence determinations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board reviewed the charitable contributions made by The Starr Foundation to the organizations with which the directors are affiliated. The Starr Foundation was established and principally funded by C.V. Starr and his estate.

The Starr Foundation made contributions of $1,325,000 to the National Bureau of Economic Research (the “Bureau”) to establish the C.V. Starr Research Fund for International Economics (the “Research Fund”) in 2002. Mr. Feldstein is president and chief executive officer of the Bureau. These donations were made solely to establish the Research Fund, and Mr. Feldstein has advised the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee that there is no present intention to seek additional funding for the Bureau from The Starr Foundation. The Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has determined that these contributions do not impair Mr. Feldstein’s independence for purposes of the NYSE listing standards.

There were five regularly scheduled meetings of the Board during 2004 and seven meetings to date in 2005. All of the directors attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and of the committees of the Board on which they served. The non-management directors meet in executive session, without any management directors present, either before or after each regularly scheduled Board meeting. Mr. Zarb presides at these executive sessions.

AIG has adopted policies on reporting of concerns regarding accounting and other matters and on communicating with non-management directors, which are available in the Corporate Governance section of www.aigcorporate.com .

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee, which held 16 meetings during 2004 and 14 meetings to date in 2005, assists the Board’s oversight of AIG’s financial statements and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the qualifications and performance of AIG’s independent registered public accounting firm and the performance of AIG’s internal audit function. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of AIG’s independent registered public accounting firm. Mr. Frank J. Hoenemeyer chaired the Audit Committee, which included Messrs. Aidinoff, Chia and Zarb and Mrs. Hills,

PAGEBREAK

during 2004. Messrs. Miles and Offit joined the Audit Committee on May 18, 2005. The Board has determined, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, that all members of the Audit Committee are independent under both NYSE listing standards and SEC rules. The Board has also determined that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate within the meaning of the NYSE listing standards and that Mr. Hoenemeyer is an audit committee financial expert for purposes of the SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise for purposes of the NYSE listing standards. Although designated as an audit committee financial expert, Mr. Hoenemeyer is not an accountant for AIG and, under the SEC rules, is not an “expert” for purposes of the liability provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or for any other purpose. Mr. Hoenemeyer does not have any responsibilities or obligations in addition to those of the other audit committee members; all audit committee members have the identical duties and responsibilities. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has recommended that Mr. Offit be named Chairman of the Audit Committee upon Mr. Hoenemeyer’s retirement from the Board at the Annual Meeting.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Mr. Aidinoff chairs the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which held five meetings in 2004 and six meetings to date in 2005 and which also included Messrs. Marshall Cohen and Zarb and Mrs. Hills, all of whom the Board has determined, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, are independent under NYSE listing standards. The primary purposes of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are to recommend individuals to the Board of Directors for nomination, election or appointment as members of the Board and its committees and to review on an ongoing basis the corporate governance principles and practices that should apply to AIG. In early 2005, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee nominated Mr. Hammerman to serve as a director, and the Board accepted the recommendation and elected him a director on March 7, 2005. Mr. Hammerman was initially identified by Mr. Greenberg as a potential nominee for director. Also in 2005, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee nominated Messrs. Miles and Offit to serve as directors, and the Board accepted the recommendation and elected them directors on April 21, 2005. Messrs. Miles and Offit were initially identified as potential nominees by Mr. Richard Beattie of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, counsel to the independent directors, and Mr. Zarb, respectively.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by the shareholders. The Guidelines include a listing of the characteristics that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers important for nominees for director. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate shareholder nominees on the same basis as all other nominees. Shareholders who wish to submit nominees for director for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for election at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders may do so by submitting in writing such nominees’ names, in compliance with the procedures described under “Shareholder Proposals For 2006 Annual Meeting” in this Proxy Statement.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee, which held six meetings during 2004 and seven meetings to date in 2005, oversees the administration of AIG’s compensation programs, establishes the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and makes recommendations with respect to compensation programs applicable to senior executives and other employee compensation. Messrs. Marshall Cohen, William Cohen, Hoenemeyer and Holbrooke are the current members of the Compensation Committee, with Mr. Marshall Cohen serving as the Chairman. The Board has determined, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, that all members of the Compensation Committee are independent under the NYSE listing standards.

Other Committees

The principal function of the Executive Committee, which acted only by unanimous written consent in 2004 and 2005, is to act for the Board between Board meetings. In 2004, Messrs. Aidinoff, Greenberg, Hoenemeyer, Smith and Zarb and Mrs. Hills comprised the Executive Committee, with Mr. Zarb serving as the Chairman. On

PAGEBREAK

April 21, 2005, the Board of Directors reconstituted the Executive Committee which now consists of Messrs. Sullivan, Kanak, Hoenemeyer, Aidinoff, Marshall Cohen and Zarb, and is chaired by Mr. Sullivan.

The Finance Committee, which oversees the financial affairs and investment activities of AIG and its subsidiaries, held 12 meetings during 2004 and four meetings to date in 2005. Ms. Futter and Messrs. Aidinoff (until May 2004), Chia, Feldstein, Greenberg (until March 2005), Hoenemeyer, Holbrooke, Smith (until March 2005), and Zarb served as members of the Finance Committee during 2004 and to date in 2005. The Finance Committee was chaired by Mr. Greenberg until March 2005 and is now chaired by Mr. Sullivan.

On April 21, 2005, the Board established two new committees: the Regulatory, Compliance and Legal Committee and the Public Policy and Social Responsibility Committee. Current members of the Regulatory, Compliance and Legal Committee are Messrs. Hammerman, who serves as chairman, Aidinoff and Marshall Cohen and Ms. Futter. The Public Policy and Social Responsibility Committee is chaired by Mr. Holbrooke and includes Messrs. William Cohen, Feldstein and Miles.

Mr. Zarb, in his capacity as Interim Chairman, serves as an ex officio member of all standing committees of the Board.

Ownership of Certain Securities

The only persons who, to the knowledge of AIG, own in excess of five percent of the Common Stock of AIG are FMR Corp., 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, which filed a Schedule 13G on February 14, 2005, with respect to the 161,203,013 shares of AIG Common Stock held by it, and Starr International Company, Inc. (“SICO”). According to the Schedule 13G filed by FMR Corp., it is the parent company of various entities (collectively, “Fidelity”) that provide investment advisory and management services to the Fidelity Group of mutual funds. The FMR Corp. Schedule 13G states that Fidelity is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 5.672 percent of the outstanding AIG Common Stock, 147,737,387 shares, as a result of providing these services to the funds, and that Fidelity International Limited, which operates as an entity separate from FMR Corp. and Fidelity, is the beneficial owner of 6,949,031 shares of AIG Common Stock. At March 31, 2005, SICO (which has executive offices at Clifton House, Lower Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin 2, Ireland) held 310,905,397 shares, or 11.98 percent, of the outstanding AIG Common Stock. The Starr Foundation and C.V. Starr & Co., Inc. (“Starr”) (both having executive offices at 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York) held 50,529,531 shares and 47,337,246 shares (including 18,644,278 shares held by the C.V. Starr & Co., Inc.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires directors, executive officers, and ten percent holders of AIG Common Stock to file reports concerning their ownership of AIG equity securities. Based solely on the review of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 furnished to AIG and certain representations made to AIG, AIG believes that the only filing deficiencies under Section 16(a) by its directors, executive officers, and ten percent holders during 2004 were: one late report filed by Mr. Steven J. Bensinger, an executive officer, reporting the purchase of 24 shares on March 5, 2004; one late report filed by Mr. Axel I. Freudmann, an executive officer, reporting three sales involving an aggregate of 15,331 shares on December 2, 2004, December 21, 2004 and December 22, 2004; three late reports filed by Mr. Greenberg reflecting

the disposition of an aggregate of 49 shares by Starr upon the exercise of stock options by Starr employees (41 shares on January 26, 2004 and eight shares on November 9, 2004) and the disposition of 450 shares by Starr relating to purchases by Starr employees of shares under the Starr Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Mr. Sullivan has filed one late report reflecting the acquisition of 424 shares as a result of his marriage in October 2002.

Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers

Compensation of Directors

Directors who are employees of AIG or its subsidiaries do not receive fees for service on the Board or the committees of the Board. Each other director of AIG currently receives director’s fees of $40,000 per year, plus $1,500 for each Board meeting attended. An annual fee of $5,000 is paid to each member of each committee of the Board. Members of each committee also receive $1,500 for each committee meeting attended. Directors who are not employees of AIG or its subsidiaries are granted 500 shares of AIG Common Stock annually, receipt of which is deferred until retirement from the Board, pursuant to the AIG Director Stock Plan. In addition, under the AIG Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan, non-management directors receive annually an option which vests after one year and is exercisable for nine years thereafter to purchase 2,500 shares of AIG Common Stock at an option price equal to the fair market value of AIG Common Stock on the date of grant, which is the date of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Receipt of shares upon exercise of these options may be deferred at the election of the director. Certain directors who are not employees of AIG also serve as directors of various subsidiaries of AIG and receive fees for meeting attendance.

| (3) | The LTIP payouts for 2004 will be made by SICO pursuant to its
2003-2004 Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plan. Since
1975, SICO has provided benefits under a series of two-year
Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plans to senior AIG
employees (“SICO Plans”). The original SICO Plan came
into being in 1975 when the voting shareholders and Board of
Directors of SICO, 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 management of all American International companies,
including AIG. Participation in the SICO Plan by any person, and
the amount of such participation, has been at the sole
discretion of SICO’s board of directors. Historically, SICO
has delivered cash or AIG Common Stock under the SICO Plans; AIG
has made no payments. In its restated financial statements AIG
has recorded a charge to reported earnings in the periods
restated for deferred compensation amounts granted to AIG
employees by SICO, with an offsetting entry to additional
paid-in capital, reflecting amounts deemed contributed by SICO.
AIG is currently in the process of resolving and unwinding
various relationships with SICO and Starr and has authorized the
creation of a 2005-2006 Deferred Compensation Profit
Participation Plan. This Plan will be modeled on the SICO Plan
with respect to the 2003-2004 period, except that it will be
administered by AIG and its costs will be borne directly by AIG.
In addition, SICO has confirmed and AIG has, subject to certain
conditions, assured, that all benefits accrued to employees
under the SICO Plans through 2004 will be paid to employees in
accordance with the terms of the SICO Plans. |
| (4) | Amounts shown do not represent actual payments. Payments do not
begin until the employee retires after reaching age 65.
Amounts shown in 2004 represent the value, based on the closing

forfeiture under certain conditions, including the
participant’s termination of employment with AIG and its
subsidiaries before normal retirement age other than by death or
disability (unless the SICO board determines to reinstate the
payout right). The SICO Board of Directors currently may permit
the early payout of units under certain circumstances. No
executive named in the Summary Compensation Table other than
Mr. Martin is eligible for early payout with respect to
units awarded to them. Prior to earning the right to payout, the
participant is not entitled to any equity interest with respect
to underlying shares. In addition, SICO’s board of
directors currently makes the final decision whether to pay a
participant cash in lieu of shares of AIG Common Stock. |

In order to facilitate the performance of their management responsibilities, AIG provides to Messrs. Sullivan and Tse (and, before his retirement, provided to Mr. Greenberg) automobiles and drivers and to these individuals and other officers and employees the use of corporate aircraft, club memberships, recreational opportunities and clerical and investment management services. From time to time Starr also made a yacht owned by SICO available to AIG officers and employees. These facilities are provided for use for business purposes and the costs thereof incurred by AIG are considered ordinary and necessary business expenses. The incremental cost of any personal benefit these persons derive from the use of these facilities or from the services provided by AIG for 2004 has been included, under the column Other Annual Compensation, in the Summary Compensation Table. For prior years shown in the Summary Compensation Table, the incremental cost to AIG was de minimis or there was no incremental cost to AIG because these benefits were provided by Starr or SICO.

In connection with the employment and relocation to New York of Mr. Frank G. Wisner, an executive officer, in 1997 AIG paid certain expenses involved with his purchase of a cooperative apartment and has provided credit support for his mortgage. During 2004, AIG continued to provide the mortgage loan to Mr. Sullivan that had been initiated in connection with his relocation from London to New York in 1996. The maximum amount of such loan outstanding during 2004 and at January 31, 2005 was $285,375 at an interest rate of 1.98 percent per annum. During January 2004, AIG continued to provide Mr. R. Kendall Nottingham, an executive officer, a mortgage loan with an effective annual interest rate of 2.30 percent per annum. The

14

maximum amount of such loan outstanding before it was repaid in January 2004 was the yen equivalent of $2,779,000.

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, 2005 was approximately $9.4 million. AIG has obtained coverage for the year ending May 24, 2006 at a premium of approximately $32.8 million.

Executive Employment Agreements

On June 27, 2005, AIG entered into a definitive employment agreement with each of Messrs. Sullivan, Kanak and Bensinger. Under the employment agreements, Mr. Sullivan serves as AIG’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kanak serves as AIG’s Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer and Mr. Bensinger serves as AIG’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Each employment agreement is effective for a three-year term, commencing on March 14, 2005 (the “Effective Date”), unless earlier terminated as provided in the agreement, and, in each case, supersedes the respective letter of understanding dated March 16, 2005 delivered to each of the executives.

Annual Base Salary. The annual base salaries for the executives are $1,000,000 for Mr. Sullivan, $800,000 for Mr. Kanak and $750,000 for Mr. Bensinger each of which is reviewed annually and may be increased by the Compensation Committee.

Annual Non-Variable Compensation. AIG is obligated to make additional cash payments to each executive with respect to each of AIG’s 2005, 2006 and 2007 fiscal years. These payments are due no later than March 31 of the fiscal year following each of fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007. The payments are calculated by reducing from a specified dollar amount for the executive the amount of cash compensation received by the executive from certain other compensation arrangements. If the amount of this offset is equal to or greater than the specified dollar amount, no amount is due the executive under this provision of the employment agreement. The amount of the offset is the aggregate of amounts received by the executive with respect to the applicable fiscal year as (1) supplemental quarterly (or other periodic) interim cash bonuses paid by AIG, and (2) cash dividends paid on any common and preferred stock of Starr held by the executive. In addition, for Messrs. Sullivan and Kanak, the amount of the offset will include amounts received by the executive during 2005 in his capacities as a director of SICO and Starr. None of Messrs. Sullivan, Kanak or Bensinger continues to serve as an officer or director of SICO or Starr. Accordingly, no bonuses or directors fees are expected to be paid by either SICO or Starr to any of the executives going forward. The specified dollar amounts that are reduced by the offset described above are $1,125,000 for Mr. Sullivan, $1,000,000 for Mr. Kanak and $750,000 for Mr. Bensinger.

Transition Payment. Each executive is entitled to a one-time transition cash payment, paid in four equal installments, on the following dates, unless the executive’s employment is terminated by AIG for “Cause” or by the executive without “Good Reason” (as such terms are defined in the employment agreements): (1) the date of signing of the employment agreement, and (2) the last day of each of the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters of AIG in 2005. The amount of the transition payment is: $4,875,000 for Mr. Sullivan, $1,100,000 for Mr. Kanak and $1,000,000 for Mr. Bensinger.

Long-Term and Equity-Based Incentives. Each executive is eligible to participate in AIG’s long-term incentive and equity-based compensation plans on the basis determined by the Compensation Committee, and the executive is entitled to the specific awards described below.

• 2005 Grant. AIG is obligated to grant each executive long-term incentive or equity-based compensation awards for 2005 no later than March 31, 2006. The value of the awards that must be granted by such date is calculated by reducing from a specified dollar value (the “2005 Equity Grant Value”) the value of awards received by the executive from certain other long-term incentive and equity-based compensation arrangements (the “LTI Arrangements”) in respect of 2005 (all such values will be reasonably determined by the Compensation Committee as of the date of grant). If the value of the awards granted to the executive pursuant to the LTI Arrangements is equal to or greater than the

15

PAGEBREAK

| | executive’s 2005 Equity Grant Value, AIG is not required to
grant the executive any additional awards under this provision.
The LTI Arrangements are (1) AIG stock options and other
equity awards granted to the executive no later than
December 31, 2005, in respect of fiscal year 2005,
(2) the annualized value of awards made to the executive
pursuant to arrangements with AIG intended to replace the SICO
Plans and other programs previously provided by SICO and
(3) preferred stock awarded to the executive by Starr in
respect of any Starr common stock held by the executive and any
growth in book value attributable to such common stock. The 2005
Equity Grant Value is $8,000,000 for Mr. Sullivan,
$5,600,000 for Mr. Kanak and $4,000,000 for
Mr. Bensinger. |
| --- | --- |
| • | 2006 and 2007 Grants. With respect to each of fiscal
years 2006 and 2007, each executive is eligible for long-term or
equity-based awards, which, together with the executive’s
annual cash bonus targets for such years (described below), will
have the following total target values (each, a “Target
Total Incentive”): $12,875,000 for Mr. Sullivan,
$6,700,000 for Mr. Kanak and $5,000,000 for
Mr. Bensinger. The amounts actually awarded are offset by
the value of awards received under the LTI Arrangements in
respect of such year (all such values will be reasonably
determined by the Compensation Committee as of the date of
grant). |

Annual Cash Bonus. Each executive may receive an annual cash bonus, as determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, based on the performance of AIG and the executive. For each of the 2006 and 2007 fiscal years, the executive is eligible for an annual cash bonus based on the attainment of targets established by the Compensation Committee, which, together with the target value of any long-term or equity-based award in respect of such year, will equal the executive’s Target Total Incentive, described above.

Employee Benefits and Perquisites. During the employment term, each executive is entitled to participate in AIG’s employee benefit and perquisite plans (other than severance and change-in-control plans) on the same basis as other senior executives of AIG. AIG has also agreed to negotiate in good faith with Mr. Bensinger to determine, prior to January 1, 2006, the nature of Mr. Bensinger’s participation in AIG’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

Severance Payments and Benefits. If the executive’s employment is terminated by AIG without “Cause” or by the executive for “Good Reason,” the executive is entitled to the following payments and benefits, subject to the executive’s execution of a release of claims against AIG and its directors, officers and affiliates and continued compliance with restrictive covenants set forth in the employment agreement and described below:

| • | a pro rata portion of the annual cash bonus for the fiscal year
of termination, payable as soon as reasonably practicable
following the date of termination (the “Pro-Rata
Bonus”); |
| --- | --- |
| • | an amount equal to the greater of (1) the sum of
(A) three times annual base salary and (B) three times
the actual annual cash bonus paid with respect to the fiscal
year preceding termination, and (2) for Mr. Sullivan,
$15,000,000, for Mr. Kanak, $10,000,000 and for
Mr. Bensinger, $7,500,000, paid in installments over the
12 to 18-month non-compete period (as described below)
following the executive’s termination; |
| • | continued health and life insurance for up to 36 months
after termination; |
| • | three years of additional service and age under AIG’s
pension plans (other than tax-qualified plans) for purposes of
benefit accrual, matching contributions, vesting and eligibility
for retirement; and |
| • | if the executive (i) is not eligible to participate in any
retiree medical or life insurance program of AIG at termination
and (ii) would have at least 10 years of service with
AIG and reached age 55 if credited with three years of
additional age and service at termination, then AIG will
purchase medical and/or life insurance policies that provide
coverage as comparable as commercially available to coverage
under AIG retiree medical and/or life insurance programs. |

The payments and benefits described above cease if, after the executive’s termination of employment and before the payments and benefits are due, the Board determines that grounds existed on or prior to the date of termination, including prior to the Effective Date, for AIG to terminate the executive’s employment for “Cause.” Severance payments are not included in the calculation of a pension benefit, and the executive is not entitled to

16

PAGEBREAK

receive any payment pursuant to any non-qualified AIG pension plan until the date the executive has ceased receiving severance payments.

Payment Schedule for Severance, Pro Rata Bonus. If necessary to avoid the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) to amounts payable to the executive in connection with a termination of employment, the executive will not receive any amounts until the first scheduled payroll date that occurs more than six months following termination of employment (the “First Payment Date”) and, on the First Payment Date, AIG will pay the executive the sum of all amounts that would have been payable in respect of the period preceding the First Payment Date but for the delay imposed on account of Section 409A of the Code.

Gross-Up for “Golden Parachute” Excise Taxes and for Tax Equalization. To the extent any amounts payable to the executive, whether under the employment agreements or otherwise, are subject to any “golden parachute” excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Code, AIG will “gross up” such amounts in an amount equal to the excise taxes imposed, including any income taxes and excise taxes imposed on the “gross up” payments, and any interests and penalties associated with such excise taxes. In the case of Mr. Kanak, AIG will also “gross up” the excess of (i) any Japanese tax liability imposed on his income from AIG due to his being reassigned to the Far East in 2005, in respect of his employment with AIG prior to January 1, 2004, over (ii) the hypothetical federal income tax liability to which he would have been subject on such income had he resided in the United States.

Restrictive Covenants. Each executive is bound by the following covenants during the employment agreement term and at all times following termination except as otherwise described below:

| • | Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. While employed by
AIG and if the executive’s employment is terminated by AIG
during the term of the employment agreement, for 12 months
following termination for any reason (or for 18 months
following termination by the executive for Good Reason resulting
from failure of the Compensation Committee to adopt, by
December 31, 2005, an incentive compensation program for
2006 and 2007 that is acceptable to the executive), the
executive will generally be prohibited from (1) engaging
in, being employed by, rendering services to, or acquiring
financial interests in businesses that are competitive with AIG,
(2) interfering with AIG’s business relationships with
customers, suppliers, or consultants, or (3) soliciting or
hiring certain key employees of AIG; |
| --- | --- |
| • | Cooperation. Each executive must cooperate with AIG in
the defense of legal matters and with government authorities on
matters pertaining to investigations, litigation or
administrative proceedings pertaining to AIG; |
| • | Non-Disparagement. Each executive is prohibited from
making certain disparaging statements about AIG or its officers,
directors or managers; |
| • | Codes of Conduct. Each executive must abide by AIG’s
codes of conduct; and |
| • | Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. Each
executive may not disclose AIG’s confidential information. |

Indemnification and Legal Fees. AIG has agreed to indemnify each executive to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Delaware for acts or omissions made in their service to AIG. Each executive is entitled to full reimbursement of their reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with disputes arising under the employment agreement if the executive substantially prevails in any such dispute.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

As discussed in the notes to the Summary Compensation Table, since 1975 SICO has provided a series of two-year Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plans to senior AIG employees. AIG has authorized the creation of a 2005-2006 Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plan (the “2005-2006 Plan”) that will be modeled on the SICO Plan with respect to the 2003-2004 period, except that the 2005-2006 Plan will be administered by AIG and its costs will be borne directly by AIG. Shares will be issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Incentive Plan to satisfy obligations under this plan. AIG has determined the number of units that will be granted to each AIG employee under the 2005-2006 Plan. However, the documentation for the new 2005-2006 Plan has not been finalized or approved and formal awards have not yet been issued.

The following table summarizes information with respect to benefits under the forthcoming 2005-2006 Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plan that will be awarded to the individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table once the 2005-2006 Plan is finalized.

| (1) | Awards represent grants of units that will be made under the
forthcoming 2005-2006 Deferred Compensation Profit Participation
Plan with respect to the two-year period from January 1,
2005 through December 31, 2006. The number of shares of AIG
Common Stock, if any, allocated to a unit for the benefit of a
participant under the 2005-2006 Plan will be dependent primarily
upon two factors: the growth in earnings per share of AIG during
the 2005-2006 award period as compared to the 2003-2004 period
and the book value of AIG at the end of the award period. As a
result, the number of shares to be allocated with respect to
units to be awarded for the 2005-2006 period and the value of
such shares upon future payout cannot be determined at this
time. See Note 2 below. |

| (2) | The number of shares to be allocated with respect to units to be
awarded for the 2005-2006 period cannot be determined at this
time. The ‘Estimated Future Payouts’ column represents
the number of shares that would be contingently allocable to the
named individuals if, at the end of 2006, the criteria used to
allocate shares to units were the same as those used by the
Board of Directors of SICO for the 2003-2004 period. However,
any share allocation made under the 2005-2006 Plan will be made
by the Compensation Committee of AIG’s Board of Directors.
Before obtaining the right to a payout, no participant will have
any equity interest with respect to shares allocated to him or
her and the allocated shares will be subject to forfeiture under
certain conditions, including, unless the Compensation Committee
otherwise determines, the participant’s voluntary
termination of employment with AIG prior to normal retirement
age other than by death or disability. |

Pension Benefits

The executives named in the Summary Compensation Table participate in a series of tax qualified and non-qualified retirement plans that provide retirement benefits to designated executives and key employees. Under the plans, annual retirement benefits, not to exceed 60 percent of Average Final Compensation, accrue at a rate of 2.4 percent of Average Final Compensation for each year of service or fraction thereof for each full month of active employment. The benefit payable under the plans is reduced by payments from Social Security and any payments from a qualified pension plan of a prior employer. Certain of the plans allow participants over the age of 70 1 / 2 the option to commence their benefits while still employed. The benefit cannot commence until at least one year after the date of such election.

Pensionable salary includes the regular salary paid by AIG and its subsidiaries and does not include amounts attributable to supplementary bonuses or overtime pay. For such named individuals, pensionable salary during 2004 was as follows: Sullivan— $675,962; Kanak— $655,000; Wintrob— $650,000; Scott— $525,000; Tizzio— $654,700; Tse— $661,156; Moor— $551,298; Neuger— $621,154; Smith— $631,154.

Mr. Martin has accrued an estimated annual benefit payable upon retirement at normal retirement age at 65 from all applicable AIG and AGC plans of $203,381.

Mr. Greenberg elected to commence his retirement plan benefits under the qualified plan on January 1, 1996 at the age of 70 1 / 2 and under the non-qualified plans on October 1, 2004. His total annual benefit from the retirement plans reflecting 45 years of employment is $1,637,532 payable in the form of a 100 percent joint and survivor annuity.

Executive Severance Plan

The Compensation Committee of the AIG Board of Directors has approved the terms of an executive severance plan, which provides severance payments and benefits to a select group of AIG’s senior executives (other than Messrs. Sullivan, Kanak and Bensinger during the time their employment agreements are in effect). The executive severance plan is effective as of June 27, 2005 and will remain in effect until the third anniversary of such date. Executives who hold positions that are designated as “senior partners” or “partners” for purposes of eligibility to participate in any deferred compensation profit participation program of AIG, or similar or successor positions, and who are selected for participation by AIG’s Chief Executive Officer are eligible to participate.

Under the executive severance plan, if a participant’s employment is terminated for reasons other than the participant’s death, disability, retirement, voluntary termination for any reason or termination by AIG for “Cause” (as defined in executive severance plan), the participant shall receive severance equal to (i) the participant’s annual base salary as of the date of termination plus the average of the aggregate annual and supplemental quarterly cash bonuses received by the participant during each of the three fiscal years

22 PAGEBREAK

preceding the date of termination, divided by (ii) 12, and multiplied by (iii) each full year of the participant’s service with AIG or its subsidiaries(but no less than six nor more than 24 years). Amounts of severance payable under the executive severance plan are reduced (but not below zero) by any amounts due to a participant under an individual employment agreement between the participant and AIG, any other AIG severance plan or policy or pursuant to any regulatory severance plan or arrangement in a country outside the United States.

Severance is paid in equal installments over a number of months equal to the six- to 24-month severance multiple described above, in accordance with AIG’s normal payroll practices, but, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, it may be paid in a lump sum following termination of employment. If required to avoid the application of Section 409A of the Code, however, severance payments will not commence until the first payroll period after six months following the date of termination, in which case the first payment will include amounts payable in respect of the preceding six months.

In addition, a participant who is entitled to severance is also entitled to continue to participate in AIG’s life and health insurance benefit arrangements until the earlier of the expiration of the severance period and the date a participant is eligible to receive replacement coverage from a subsequent employer, after which time COBRA coverage shall apply. The participant will be required to pay the costs of the continued coverage during the severance period on the same basis as when the employee was actively employed.

Participants who are eligible for severance are also entitled to additional service and age credit in respect of the number of months in the severance period, under AIG’s employee pension plans (except for under any tax-qualified plan), for purposes of benefit accrual, matching contributions, vesting and eligibility for retirement. No severance payments due under the executive severance plan are included in the calculation of a pension benefit, and no participant is entitled to receive any payments pursuant to any non-qualified AIG pension plan until the date the participant has ceased receiving severance under the executive severance plan.

To receive severance, a participant must sign a release of claims against AIG, and an agreement to be bound by non-competition and non-solicitation covenants until the earlier of the first anniversary of termination of employment or the end of the severance period and non-disparagement and confidentiality covenants indefinitely (the violation of which will result in the cessation of any remaining severance payments and benefits).

Relationships with Starr and SICO

A number of senior AIG executives, including the individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table, have historically held positions with, and received compensation from, Starr and SICO. Both companies own substantial amounts of AIG Common Stock and have had other relationships with AIG. For example, from time to time, Starr has offered members of AIG’s senior management the opportunity to purchase shares of its common stock and, since 1975, SICO has provided benefits under the SICO Plans to certain senior AIG employees. Consistent with AIG’s traditional presentation, the amount of AIG Common Stock beneficially owned by Starr and SICO and the amount of Starr and SICO voting stock beneficially owned by AIG’s directors and executive officers is discussed under “Ownership of Certain Securities,” awards allocated under the SICO Plans are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table and other transactions between AIG, on the one hand, and Starr and SICO, on the other hand, are discussed under “Certain Transactions.”

AIG is currently in the process of unwinding and resolving various relationships with Starr and SICO. As a result, AIG’s executive officers no longer serve as officers or directors of SICO and Starr or their subsidiaries.

Payments and Benefits Provided by Starr and SICO

AIG intends to provide new or enhanced compensation opportunities to AIG employees in order to reflect the compensation and benefits previously provided by Starr and SICO. AIG is providing the following information to give a historical perspective of the payments made by Starr and SICO to AIG executive officers, including the executives named in the Summary Compensation Table.

• As discussed in the notes to the Summary Compensation Table, until retirement after age 65 or early payout under certain circumstances, the named individuals have no dividend or voting rights with respect to these shares.

Investments in Starr. Starr from time to time offered members of AIG’s senior management the opportunity to purchase shares of its common stock. Book value was used to determine the purchase price, and the shares have generally paid cash dividends as well as dividends in the form of non-voting preferred shares.

The Starr common and preferred shares are subject to agreements that limit their transferability and give Starr the right, and in some cases the obligation, to repurchase the shares after a holder ceases to be an employee of Starr and substantially all of Starr’s affiliated or associated companies. The repurchase price is generally based on the adjusted book value of the common shares and the sum of the liquidation value and unpaid dividends of the preferred shares. However, Starr can repurchase the shares for a substantially lower price if a holder voluntarily departs (without the approval of Starr’s board of directors) before the holder turns 60 or, for holders voluntarily departing between 60 and 65, if the holder competes with Starr, or Starr’s affiliated or associated companies, before turning 65.

During 2004, Starr offered a total of 1,125 shares of its common stock to AIG employees. Mr. Sullivan purchased 125 shares, Mr. Kanak purchased 250 shares and Mr. Bensinger purchased 125 shares, respectively, at a purchase price of $300 per share. As of January 1, 2005, Messrs. Sullivan, Neuger and Smith purchased an additional 125 shares each at a purchase price of $300 per share.

link1 "Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation"

Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee is the committee of the Board responsible for making recommendations to the Board with regard to AIG’s compensation programs applicable to senior executives and other employee compensation and for oversight of the development and implementation of AIG’s compensation programs. The Committee also reviews and approves the performance goals and objectives relevant to the Chief Executive Officer. These responsibilities are set forth in the Committee’s Charter, which is posted on AIG’s corporate website at www.aigcorporate.com .

For year 2004, Messrs. Marshall Cohen, William Cohen, Hoenemeyer and Holbrooke comprised the Committee. The Board, upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, has determined that each member of the Committee is independent for purposes of the NYSE listing standards.

Ongoing Compensation Review

Following Mr. Greenberg’s retirement from AIG in March 2005 and the commencement of the legal and regulatory actions and investigations described under Item 3. Legal Proceedings, in AIG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, the Committee decided to take a fresh look at AIG’s executive compensation practices. The Committee determined that AIG’s compensation policies should address crucial short-term and long-term organizational goals. As an immediate and short-term matter, the Committee believes it is critical to retain the continued services of its senior executives and ensure their continued focus during the period following recent events. Over the long-term, AIG seeks to ensure that its compensation policies are aligned with the goal of enhancing shareholder value through programs that attract, retain and motivate key executives and support an effective control environment.

In addition, a number of senior AIG executives, including AIG’s President and Chief Executive Officer, have historically held positions with, and received compensation from, Starr and SICO. AIG is currently in the process of unwinding and resolving various relationships with these companies, and AIG’s executive officers no longer serve as officers or directors of Starr, SICO or their subsidiaries. The Committee directed AIG’s current management to consider new or enhanced compensation opportunities for AIG employees to reflect the compensation and benefits previously provided by these companies. The Committee views addressing these issues as important to both its short-term and long-term goals so long as the resulting total compensation is balanced, fair and competitive.

The Committee selected and engaged Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FWCook”) to provide independent advice on executive compensation practices and determinations, including the steps AIG has taken since March 2005 and its going-forward review of compensation practices. The Committee has specifically requested that FWCook provide advice based on industry best practices, and it is expected that the Committee will evaluate all forms of executive compensation in its review. The Committee has also made use of the services of outside counsel to the independent directors of the Board, as well as AIG’s outside counsel, in evaluating and implementing the steps it has taken since March 2005.

Executive Employment Agreements

In March 2005, the Board delivered letters of understanding to Messrs. Sullivan, Kanak and Bensinger, in connection with Mr. Sullivan’s promotion to AIG’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kanak’s promotion to AIG’s Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer and Mr. Bensinger’s promotion to AIG’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. These letters contemplated the negotiation of comprehensive employment agreements to replace the letters. In June 2005, AIG entered into definitive employment agreements with each of these executives that supersede the letters. The terms of the agreements are described under “Executive Employment Agreements” in “Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers.”

Although AIG has not historically entered into employment agreements or granted severance protection, the Committee determined it was appropriate in light of its short-term goals. The Committee considered, in

27

PAGEBREAK

particular, the challenges faced by senior management during this transition period, the expected changes in the compensation opportunities made available by AIG during this period, the limited, fixed term of the agreements and FWCook’s advice regarding the agreements. The employment agreements were negotiated by the Committee with the assistance of FWCook and outside counsel for AIG.

Executive Severance Plan

For the same reasons, the Board approved the terms of an executive severance plan, which provides severance payments and benefits to a select group of AIG’s senior officers. The plan also has a three-year term and provides for severance based on up to two years of employment if, during the term, employment is terminated by AIG without “Cause” (as defined in the plan). The actual amount of severance will depend on the length of the relevant executive’s service with AIG and its subsidiaries.

Severance under the plan is subject to continued compliance with certain restrictive covenants, among other conditions. The severance plan is described in more detail under “Executive Severance Plan” in “Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers.”

AIG 2005-2006 Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plan

Since 1975, SICO has provided benefits under the SICO Plans to senior AIG employees. To provide continuity during 2005 and 2006, AIG has authorized the creation of a 2005-2006 Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plan that will be modeled on (but will not be identical to) the historic SICO Plans. The 2005-2006 Plan will be administered by the Committee, and its costs will be borne directly by AIG.

It is expected that the number of shares of AIG Common Stock that can be issued to participants under the 2005-2006 Plan will be calculated after the completion of 2006 and will be based primarily on (1) the growth in earnings per share during the 2005-2006 award period as compared to the 2003-2004 period and (2) the book value of AIG at the end of the award period. After the total number of shares that can be issued under the 2005-2006 Plan is calculated, participants will receive contingent rights to their proportionate share of this total number based upon the number of units awarded them (as adjusted by a multiplier) relative to the total number of units granted under the 2005-2006 Plan. For most of AIG’s senior executive officers, including Messrs. Sullivan, Kanak and Bensinger, the multiplier will be two times. In addition, most of AIG’s senior executive officers, including Messrs. Sullivan, Kanak and Bensinger, who continue to be employed on January 1, 2013 and have not reached age 65 will receive an increase of 20 percent in the number of their contingently allocated shares of AIG Common Stock.

The Committee approved participation levels in the 2005-2006 Plan on April 20, 2005, but formal awards have not been issued because the 2005-2006 Plan has not been finalized or approved. The Committee approved participation levels in order to provide continuity to executives, who previously had been advised by SICO of the number of units they would have been granted under a 2005-2006 SICO Plan had SICO adopted such a plan. The Committee determined to provide identical participation levels in the 2005-2006 Plan (with limited exceptions) after review of these levels and consultation with FWCook.

Mr. Sullivan’s award under the 2005-2006 Plan will be 4,000 units. This is the number of units that SICO advised him he would receive under the superseded 2005-2006 SICO Plan. Mr. Sullivan’s forthcoming participation award was not increased as a result of his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer. The number of units granted to each current officer named in the Summary Compensation Table is set forth under “Long-Term Incentive Plans,” in “Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers.” None of these officers received an increase in the number of units relative to the number they had been expecting to receive under the superseded 2005-2006 SICO Plan.

Assurance Agreements

On June 27, 2005, AIG entered into definitive documentation of AIG’s agreement, subject to certain conditions, to (1) make any payment or delivery of AIG Common Stock that is not promptly made with respect to the benefits accrued by current employees of AIG and its subsidiaries under historic SICO Plans and

28

PAGEBREAK

(2) make any payment to the extent not promptly made by Starr with respect to amounts that become payable to current employees of AIG and its subsidiaries who are also stockholders of Starr after the giving of a notice of repurchase or redemption under Starr’s organizational documents. These benefits will not be available to any employee terminated by AIG for cause, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.

Historic Compensation Philosophy and 2004 Compensation of Former CEO

The Committee made determinations regarding Mr. Greenberg’s 2004 compensation as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AIG at its meetings on December 16, 2004 and February 8, 2005. In each case, the determinations were based on the Committee’s understanding at such time of Mr. Greenberg’s activities and accomplishments during 2004 in relation to the strategic plans and goals of AIG, and were not made with the benefit of the information gained in the course of AIG’s subsequent internal review.

Historically, in determining appropriate compensation for the CEO and other members of senior management, the Committee’s starting point has been AIG’s salary administration philosophy, which has been to pay within a range that helps meet business objectives while considering external and internal influences and the level of funding allocated to employee compensation. At senior positions, one of the objectives has been 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 were 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, and the level of individual contribution by AIG’s senior officers to the performance of AIG.

No specific formula was used to evaluate the various factors, in determining the specific amount of compensation payable or in determining the allocation of compensation to salary, bonus and equity grants. The weight given to each factor with respect to each element of compensation has been within the individual discretion and judgment of each member of the Committee. Each member has also taken the appropriateness of the entire package into account when evaluating each element of compensation.

Decisions regarding Mr. Greenberg’s annual cash bonus were finalized at the February meeting, where the Committee reviewed the accomplishments of the Chief Executive Officer as they understood them at the time. The Committee determined that a significant increase over the $6,500,000 annual bonus paid in 2003 would be appropriate and determined it would be appropriate to award $8,000,000 for his performance in 2004 (the maximum amount permitted under AIG’s Chief Executive Officer Annual Compensation Plan).

Decisions regarding 2004 option grants were made at the December meeting. The Committee noted that there had been a supplemental grant of options in 2003 that in most cases had doubled the number of shares customarily granted to executive officers. The Committee determined that it was appropriate to limit the options granted to customary levels and Mr. Greenberg’s grant was reduced to options with respect to 375,000 shares of AIG Common Stock rather than the 750,000 shares granted in 2003.

2004 Compensation of Other Senior Executive Officers

The Committee determined bonuses and option grants for 2004 and base salaries and supplementary bonus levels for 2005 for other senior executive officers at the time on the basis of factors similar for those used in determining Mr. Greenberg’s compensation, as discussed above.

29

PAGEBREAK

Deductibility of Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Code places a limit on the tax deduction for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the chief executive officer and four most highly compensated officers of a corporation in a taxable year. Compensation that is considered qualified “performance-based compensation” generally does not count toward this limit. For 2004, the bonus compensation paid to Mr. Greenberg and the options granted to Mr. Greenberg and the other four officers are qualified “performance-based compensation” and expected to be deductible notwithstanding the $1 million limit. Other compensation above $1 million to these executives did not qualify and therefore was not deductible.

The Committee believes that it is necessary and in the best interests of AIG’s shareholders to forego some tax deduction in order to attract and retain outstanding executive talent. This is particularly the case at this time. It is expected that certain of the compensation under the new employment agreements and under the 2005-2006 Plan may not qualify as “performance-based compensation.” The Committee determined that its concerns regarding motivating and retaining executive talent in the current environment outweighed the benefit of complying with the requirements of Section 162(m).

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee’s function, as provided in the Audit Committee charter, is to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of:

•	the integrity of AIG’s financial statements,
•	AIG’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements,
•	the independent accountants’ qualifications, independence
and performance, and
•	the performance of AIG’s internal audit function.

The Committee’s charter is available on AIG’s corporate website, at www.aigcorporate.com.

During 2004, the Audit Committee was comprised of Mrs. Hills and Messrs. Aidinoff, Chia, Hoenemeyer and Zarb. On May 18, 2005, Messrs. Miles and Offit were named to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee chair is Mr. Hoenemeyer. The Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has determined that all members of the Committee are independent, as required by NYSE listing standards and the SEC rules. The Board of Directors has also determined, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, that all members of the Committee are financially literate, as defined by NYSE listing standards, and that Mr. Hoenemeyer is an audit committee financial expert and has accounting or related financial management expertise, as defined by the SEC rules and NYSE listing standards, respectively. Although designated as an audit committee financial expert, Mr. Hoenemeyer is not an accountant for AIG and, under the SEC rules, is not an “expert” for purposes of the liability provisions of the Securities Act or for any other purpose. Mr. Hoenemeyer does not have any responsibilities or obligations in addition to those of the other audit committee members; all audit committee members have the identical duties and responsibilities.

In connection with the preparation of AIG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, AIG’s current management initiated an internal review of AIG’s books and records, which was substantially expanded in mid-March 2005. The review was conducted under the direction of senior management with the oversight of the Audit Committee and was complemented by investigations by outside counsel for AIG and for the Audit Committee. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, AIG’s independent registered public accounting firm, was consulted on the scope of the internal review and reviewed the results of the internal review.

This review culminated in the restatement of AIG’s financial results, a delay in AIG filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, and the conclusion that there were several material weaknesses in AIG’s internal control over financial reporting. In light of these events, AIG has taken the following actions consistent with the recommendation of the Audit Committee:

New Senior Management. AIG appointed a new Chief Executive Officer and a new Chief Financial Officer, who, together with other senior executives, are committed to achieving transparency and clear communication with all stakeholders through effective corporate governance, a strong control environment, high ethical standards and financial reporting integrity.

Chief Risk Officer. AIG has strengthened the position of Chief Risk Officer, responsible for enterprise-wide credit, market and operation risk management and oversight. The Chief Risk Officer is empowered to work more closely with top corporate and business area level executives to identify, assess, quantify and manage risks. AIG has established an Operational Risk Management department, reporting to the Chief Risk Officer, to engage in expanded self-assessment processes for more effective management of operational and reputational risk.

Financial Disclosure Committee. AIG intends to establish a Financial Disclosure Committee to assist Messrs. Sullivan and Bensinger in fulfilling their responsibilities for oversight of the accuracy and timeliness of AIG’s disclosures.

Complex Structured Finance Transaction Committee. AIG has expanded the scope and activities of the Complex Structured Finance Transaction Committee to include the review and approval of AIG’s accounting and financial reporting of identified transactions, including related party transactions.

Other Initiatives. AIG is also actively:

| • | developing procedures to ensure that risk transfer will be
properly evaluated and contemporaneously documented; |
| --- | --- |
| • | establishing processes and controls to ensure that
reconciliations are performed; |
| • | evaluating alternative approaches to ensure that hedge
accounting requirements are met; and |
| • | enhancing controls over deferred tax reporting. |

The Audit Committee is focused on AIG remediating the identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and implementing new controls to ensure a proper control environment. The Committee has been very active in its oversight of the internal investigation, as well as in reviewing the proposed remediation strategies.

In the performance of its oversight function, the Committee has considered and discussed the audited financial statements with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The Committee has also discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as currently in effect. Finally, the Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as currently in effect, and has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP its independence.

Based upon the reports and discussions described in this report and the role and responsibilities of the Audit Committee described in the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board approved, that the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 be included in AIG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The Audit Committee is recommending the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as AIG’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Report of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The role of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, comprised of Mrs. Hills and Messrs. Aidinoff, Marshall Cohen and Zarb, is to identify individuals qualified to become Board members and recommend individuals to the Board for nomination as members of the Board and its committees, advise the Board on corporate governance matters and oversee the evaluation of the Board. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Committee is independent, as required by the NYSE listing standards. The Committee’s charter is available on AIG’s corporate website, at www.aigcorporate.com.

The Committee, along with the Board of Directors, determined that Mrs. Hills and Messrs. Aidinoff, Chia, Marshall Cohen, William Cohen, Feldstein, Hammerman, Hoenemeyer, Holbrooke, Miles, Offit and Zarb are independent within the meaning of NYSE listing standards and, in the case of Audit Committee members, the SEC rules as well. The Committee also determined that all Audit Committee members were financially literate and that Mr. Hoenemeyer is an audit committee expert for purposes of SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise for purposes of NYSE listing standards. Although designated as an audit committee financial expert, Mr. Hoenemeyer is not an accountant for AIG and, under the SEC rules, is not an “expert” for purposes of the liability provisions of the Securities Act or for any other purpose. Mr. Hoenemeyer does not have any responsibilities or obligations in addition to those of the other audit committee members; all audit committee members have the identical duties and responsibilities. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has recommended that Mr. Offit be named Chairman of the Audit Committee upon Mr. Hoenemeyer’s retirement from the Board at the Annual Meeting.

The Committee has worked with the Board of Directors and management to improve the governance structures in place at AIG in order to address deficiencies in the control environment prevailing at the end of 2004 and to ensure greater transparency. Among other initiatives, at the recommendation of the Committee, the Board appointed three new independent, outside directors, Messrs. Hammerman, Miles and Offit, and established a new Regulatory, Compliance and Legal Committee to provide oversight of AIG’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board of Directors, also at the recommendation of the Committee, reconstituted its Executive Committee on April 21, 2005 to emphasize input from members of the Board of Directors represented on committees specifically focused on governance issues.

The Committee has also focused on ensuring that AIG sets an appropriate “tone at the top.” In connection with this effort, AIG enhanced its Code of Conduct for employees, mandated that all employees complete formal ethics training and implemented a Director, Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officer Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to provide reasonable assurance that all members of the Board of Directors, executive officers and senior financial officers adhere to the stated principles and procedures set forth in that Code. At the Committee’s recommendation, AIG is developing a corporate level compliance framework, including implementation of compliance programs at AIG’s major business areas.

The Committee continues to monitor the progress of the Board of Directors and management in implementing its governance initiatives, including the process of self assessment by the Board and each of the Committees, and will continue to explore further avenues for strengthening internal controls. The Committee also recommended and the Board approved in June 2005, changes in AIG’s By-Laws and Governance Guidelines to reflect the Board’s current belief that the Chairman should be an independent director and that at least two-thirds of the directors should be independent under NYSE listing standards. The Committee has recommended and the Board plans to adopt a policy of holding bi-monthly meetings commencing in 2006.

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF ACCOUNTANTS

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have approved the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as AIG’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2005. 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.

Ratification 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. Neither AIG’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, nor By-Laws require that the shareholders ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm. AIG’s Board is requesting shareholder ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the shareholders do not ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, but may still retain PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that such change would be in the best interests of AIG and its shareholders.

Under the policy for pre-approval of audit and permitted non-audit services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Audit Committee approves categories of services and fee caps for each category. The pre-approved services include: audit services, such as financial statement audits, regulatory filings and attestation services; audit-related services, such as employee benefit plan audits, due diligence, control reviews and GAAP consultations; tax services, such as tax compliance and consulting, transfer pricing, customs and duties and expatriate tax services; and other permitted non-audit services, such as information resources and training. No expenditure may exceed the dollar caps without the separate specific approval of the Audit Committee.

accounting and reporting standards. |

providing access to information resources; training; reports on
internal controls pursuant to SAS 70; and compliance

The services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and the fees paid by AIG were authorized and approved by the Audit Committee in compliance with the pre-approval policy and procedures described above. None of the non-audit services performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP were approved under the SEC’s de minimis exception to audit committee pre-approval.

Your Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposal to ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2006 ANNUAL MEETING

All suggestions from shareholders are given careful attention. Proposals intended for inclusion in next year’s Proxy Statement pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8 should be sent to the Secretary of AIG at 70 Pine Street, New York, New York 10270 and must be received by December 5, 2005. Under the AIG By-Laws, notice of any other shareholder proposal or the nomination of a candidate for election as a director to be made at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be received not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to August 11, 2006 unless the 2006 Annual Meeting is not scheduled to be held on a date between July 12, 2006 and September 10, 2006, in which case notice must be received no less than the later of 90 days prior to the date on which such meeting is scheduled or 10 days after the date on which such meeting date is first publicly announced. A copy of the current AIG By-Laws may be obtained from the Secretary of AIG.

OTHER MATTERS

Your Board of Directors knows of no other matters to be presented at the meeting. 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.

Incorporation by Reference

To the extent that this Proxy Statement has been or will be specifically incorporated by reference into any other filing by AIG under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the sections of this Proxy Statement entitled “Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation,” “Report of the Audit Committee” (to the extent permitted by the SEC rules), “Report of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee,” “Performance Graph” and the appendices to the Proxy Statement, shall not be deemed to be so incorporated, unless specifically otherwise provided in such filing.

Important Notice Regarding Delivery of Shareholder Documents

In accordance with a notice sent to certain shareholders of AIG Common Stock who hold AIG Common Stock through a broker or otherwise through a nominee and who share a single address, only one copy of this Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement and AIG’s 2004 Annual Report to Shareholders is being sent to that address unless AIG receives contrary instructions from any shareholder at that address. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce printing and postage costs. However, if any shareholder residing at such address wishes to receive a separate copy of this Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement or AIG’s Annual Report to Shareholders, he or she may contact the AIG Director of Investor Relations at 70 Pine Street, New York, New York 10270, 212-770-6293, and AIG will deliver those documents to such shareholder promptly upon receiving the request. Any such shareholder may also contact the AIG Director of Investor Relations if he or she would like to receive separate proxy materials and annual reports in the future. If a shareholder receives multiple copies of AIG’s proxy materials and annual reports, he or she may request householding in the future by contacting the AIG Director of Investor Relations.

Proxy Solicitation

AIG will bear the cost of this solicitation of proxies. Proxies may be solicited by mail, personal interview, telephone and facsimile transmission 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 Shareholder Communications Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of approximately $12,500 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements of that firm. AIG has retained MacKenzie Partners, Inc. to provide advisory services in connection with proxy solicitation and Innisfree M&A Incorporated as a special investor relations advisor. These firms will receive reasonable and customary fees based on services provided. AIG will also reimburse brokers and others holding AIG Common Stock in their names, or in the names of nominees, for forwarding proxy materials to their principals.

APPENDIX A

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES

1. Introduction

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of American International Group, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “AIG”), acting on the recommendation of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has developed this set of corporate governance guidelines (“Guidelines”) to promote the effective functioning of the Board and its committees, to promote the interests of shareholders and to set forth a common set of expectations as to how the Board, its various committees, individual directors, and management should perform their functions. These Guidelines are designed with AIG’s current business operations, ownership, capital structure, and economic conditions in mind.

II. Roles of Board and Management

The roles of the Board and management are related, but distinct. AIG’s business strategy is implemented by its officers and other employees, under the direction of the chief executive officer (“CEO”). Management reports regularly to the Board on significant events, issues, and risks which may materially affect AIG’s business or financial performance.

The Board’s function is one of oversight. The Board reviews and discusses reports by management with respect to AIG’s performance, as well as significant issues facing AIG. In addition to its general oversight function, the Board, directly and through its committees, oversees AIG’s business and management in accordance with these Guidelines.

III. Board Composition

The size of the Board should balance the following goals:

| • | The size of the Board should facilitate substantive discussions
by the whole Board in which each director can participate
meaningfully. |
| --- | --- |
| • | The composition of the Board should encompass a broad range of
skills, expertise, industry knowledge and diversity of opinion. |
| • | A two-thirds majority of the Board shall consist of directors
who are, under the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.
(“NYSE”) listing standards, “independent” in
the business judgment of the Board (“Independent
Directors”). |

IV. Selection of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer

The Board is free to select its Chairman and the CEO in the manner it considers to be in the best interests of AIG at any given point in time. At the current time, the policy of the Board, reflected in the By-Laws, is that the role of Chairman should be separate from that of the CEO and the Chairman should be selected from the Independent Directors.

V. Selection of Directors

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for recommending a slate of directors to the Board for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, or one or more nominees to fill vacancies occurring between annual meetings of shareholders.

A. Nominations. The Board shall, based on the recommendations of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, select nominees for the position of director considering the following criteria:

•	High personal and professional ethics, values and integrity;
•	Ability to work together as part of an effective, collegial
group;
•	Commitment to representing the long-term interests of AIG;
•	Skill, diversity, background, and experience with businesses and
other organizations that the Board deems relevant;
•	The interplay of the individual’s experience with the
experience of other Board members, and the extent to which the
individual would be a desirable addition to the Board and any
committees of the Board; and
•	Ability and willingness to commit adequate time to AIG over an
extended period of time.

B. Shareholder Nominations. Shareholders may propose nominees for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by submitting names and supporting information to: Chairperson, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Secretary, American International Group, Inc., 70 Pine Street, New York, NY 10270.

A-1

PAGEBREAK

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall give appropriate consideration to candidates for Board membership proposed by shareholders and shall evaluate such candidates in the same manner as other candidates identified to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

| C. | Committee Evaluation. The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee shall discuss and evaluate possible
candidates in detail prior to recommending them to the Board.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall also be
responsible for initially assessing whether a candidate would be
an Independent Director. The Board, taking into consideration
the assessment of the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee, shall determine whether a nominee or appointee would
be an Independent Director. |
| --- | --- |
| D. | Orientation. Management, working with the Board, will
provide an orientation process for new directors, including
background material on AIG, its business plan and its risk
profile, and meetings with senior management. Periodically,
management should prepare additional orientation sessions for
directors on matters relevant to AIG, its business plan and risk
profile. |

VI. Election, Term and Retirement of the Directors

Directors hold office until the AIG Annual Meeting of Shareholders next succeeding his or her election and until a successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. The Board does not believe it should establish term limits or a mandatory retirement age.

VII. Board Meetings

The Board currently plans at least four regular meetings each year, with further meetings to occur (or action to be taken by unanimous written consent), at the discretion of the Board.

The agenda for each Board meeting will be prepared by the Chairman and CEO. Any director may suggest the inclusion of additional subjects on the agenda. The agenda for each committee meeting shall be established by the respective committee chairperson. Management will endeavor to provide all directors an agenda and appropriate materials in advance of meetings, although the Board recognizes that this will not always be consistent with the timing of transactions, the operations of the business and, in certain cases, it may not be desirable to circulate materials in advance of the meeting. Materials presented to the Board or its committees should be as concise as practicable but consistent with the need to provide the information needed for the directors to make an informed judgment and engage in informed discussion.

VIII. Executive Sessions

To ensure free and open discussion and communication among the non-management directors of the Board, the non-management directors will meet at least four times a year in executive sessions, with no members of management present. The non-management directors will designate the director who will preside at the executive sessions. Non-management directors who are not Independent Directors may participate in these executive sessions, but Independent Directors shall meet separately in executive session at least once per year.

IX. The Committees of the Board

A. Committees. The Board will have at least the following five committees: Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Executive Committee, Finance Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee must each have a written charter satisfying the rules of the NYSE. The Audit Committee must also satisfy the requirements of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 10A-3. Each committee chair will give a report periodically on his or her committee’s activities to the Board.

B. Composition of the Committees . The Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will each be composed of at least three directors all of whom are, in the business judgment of the Board, Independent Directors. The required qualifications for the members of each committee are set out in the respective committee’s charter. A director may serve on more than one committee for which he or she qualifies.

X. Board Responsibilities

A. Management Succession . The Board shall review and consider the management succession plan, developed by the CEO, to ensure that future selections are appropriately considered. The principal components of this plan, on which the CEO will report at least annually to the Board, are:

| • | A proposed plan for CEO succession, both in an emergency
situation and in the ordinary course of business; and |
| --- | --- |
| • | The CEO’s plan for management succession for the other
policy-making officers of AIG. |

B. Evaluating and Approving Salary for the CEO . The Board, acting through the Compensation Committee, evaluates the performance of the CEO against AIG’s goals and objectives and approves the compensation level of the CEO.

A-2

PAGEBREAK

| C. | Compensation Programs . The Compensation Committee
makes recommendations to the Board with respect to
(1) AIG’s general compensation philosophy,
(2) the compensation programs applicable to senior
executives of AIG and (3) other employee compensation. |
| --- | --- |
| D. | Board Compensation . The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee shall periodically review and make
recommendations to the Board regarding the form and amount of
Board compensation. The Board shall set the form and amount of
director compensation, taking into account the recommendations
of the Committee. Only non-management directors shall receive
compensation for services as a director. To create a direct
linkage with corporate performance, the Board believes that a
meaningful portion of a director’s compensation should be
provided and held in the common stock of AIG and other types of
equity-based compensation. |

E. Reviewing and Approving Significant Transactions . Board approval of a particular transaction may be appropriate because of several factors, including:

•	legal or regulatory requirements;
•	the materiality of the transaction to AIG’s finance
performance, risk profile or business;
•	the terms of the transaction; or
•	other factors, such as entry into a new business or a
significant variation from AIG’s strategic plan.

To the extent that the Board determines it to be appropriate, the Board shall develop standards to be utilized by management in determining the types of transactions that should be submitted to the Board for review and approval or notification.

XI. Expectations of Directors

The business and affairs of AIG shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board in accordance with Delaware law. In performing their duties, the primary responsibility of the directors is to exercise their business judgment in the best interests of AIG. The Board has developed a number of specific expectations of directors to promote the discharge of this responsibility and the efficient conduct of the Board’s business.

| A. | Commitment and Attendance . All directors should make
every effort to attend every meeting of the Board and every
meeting of committees of which they are members. Directors are
expected to attend the annual meeting of shareholders. |
| --- | --- |
| B. | Participation in Meetings . Each director should be
sufficiently familiar with the business of AIG, including its
financial statements and capital structure, and the risks and
the competition it faces, to facilitate active and effective
participation in the deliberations of the Board and of each
committee on which he or she serves. Upon request, management
will make appropriate personnel available to answer any
questions a director may have about any aspect of AIG’s
business. |
| C. | Loyalty and Ethics. In their roles as directors, all
directors owe a duty of loyalty to AIG. This duty of loyalty
mandates that the best interests of AIG take precedence over any
interests possessed by a director. |

AIG has adopted a Director, Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officer Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Directors should be familiar with the Code’s provisions and should consult with AIG’s counsel in the event of any issues that arise with respect to the matters set forth in the Code.

D. Other Directorships. AIG values the experience directors bring from other boards on which they serve, but recognizes that those boards also present significant demands on a director’s time and availability and may present conflicts and legal issues. Directors should advise the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the CEO before accepting membership on other boards of directors or other significant commitments involving affiliation with other businesses or governmental units.

| E. |
| --- |
| Further, the Board encourages
management to, from time to time, bring managers into Board
meetings who (a) can provide additional insight into the
items being discussed because of personal involvement and
substantial knowledge in those areas and/or (b) are
managers with future potential that the senior management
believes should be given exposure to the Board. |

F. Board Interaction with Institutional Investors and the Press. It is important that AIG speak to employees and outside constituencies with a single voice and that management serve as the primary spokesperson. If a situation does arise in which it seems necessary for a non-management director to speak on behalf of AIG, the director should consult with the CEO.

G. Confidentiality. The proceedings and deliberations of the Board and its committees are confidential. Each director shall maintain the confidentiality of all information received in connection with his or her service as a director.

A-3

PAGEBREAK

XII. Communications with the Board of Directors

Security holders may communicate directly with one or more directors by writing to them c/o Secretary, American International Group, Inc., 70 Pine Street, New York, NY 10270.

XIII. Evaluating Board Performance

The Board, acting through the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, shall conduct a self-evaluation at least annually to determine whether it is functioning effectively.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall periodically consider the mix of skills and experience that directors bring to the Board to assess whether the Board has the necessary tools to perform its oversight function effectively. The Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall each conduct an annual self-evaluation, as provided for in its respective charter.

XIV. Reliance on Management and Outside Advice

In performing its functions, the Board is entitled to rely on the advice, reports and opinions of management, counsel, accountants, auditors and other expert advisors. The Board shall have the authority to retain and approve the fees and retention terms of its outside advisors.

Approved: June 16, 2005
