American International Group, Inc. (NYSE:AIG) today commenced cash tender offers for 39 series of debt securities of AIG and its subsidiaries. The complete terms of the tender offers are set forth in two separate offers to purchase and the related letters of transmittal, each dated today. Securities that are accepted in the tender offers will be purchased, retired and cancelled by the relevant issuer. Consummation of the tender offers is subject to a number of conditions, including the absence of any adverse legal and market developments. Subject to applicable law, AIG may waive certain of these conditions or extend, terminate or otherwise amend one or more of the tender offers. The tender offers are not cross-conditioned, and AIG may complete some, all or none of them.
Any and All Tender Offers
AIG is offering to purchase any and all of the notes listed on Tables I and II below. These offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 25, 2015, subject to extension. Table I sets forth the fixed prices paid for each series of notes listed therein. The prices paid for each series of notes listed in Table II will be based on fixed spreads to certain reference benchmarks, determined on March 25, 2015, as described in the applicable offer to purchase. Tenders of notes may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to the expiration date but not thereafter. Holders whose notes are accepted in these tender offers will also receive, where applicable, a cash payment representing accrued interest from the most recent interest payment date to but excluding the date AIG purchases the notes. The payment date for each any and all offer will be promptly following its expiration and is expected to be on or about March 30, 2015. The notes are part of the Direct Investment book (the “DIB”) and will be purchased using cash allocated to the DIB.
Copies of the offer to purchase, the related letter of transmittal and the notice of guaranteed delivery for the any and all tender offers are available at the following web address:
Maximum Tender Offer
AIG is also offering to purchase the notes and debentures listed on Table III below for an aggregate purchase price, not including accrued interest, of up to $1.25 billion. The early participation date for this tender offer is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 30, 2015, and the expiration date for this tender offer is 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on April 13, 2015 (in each case, subject to extension). The prices paid for the notes and debentures denominated in U.S. Dollars and Sterling will be calculated on the basis of the yield to the applicable call or maturity date of the applicable reference security listed on Table III, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, for the notes and debentures denominated in U.S. Dollars, or 3:00 p.m., London time, for the notes and debentures denominated in Sterling, each on the business day following the early participation date, plus the fixed spread applicable to such note, as set forth on Table III. The price paid for the notes denominated in Euros will be calculated on the basis of the rates payable on certain reference swaps, at 3:00 p.m., London time, on the business day following the early participation date, plus the fixed spread applicable to such note, as described more fully in the applicable offer to purchase. Holders whose notes and debentures are accepted in this tender offer will also receive a cash payment representing accrued interest from the most recent interest payment date to but excluding the date AIG purchases the notes. The payment date for this offer will be promptly following its expiration and is expected to be on or about April 15, 2015.
The following is a brief summary of certain key elements of this tender offer:
- Holders who validly tender and who do not validly withdraw their notes or debentures at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on March 30, 2015, and whose tenders are accepted for purchase, will receive the Total Consideration.
- Holders who validly tender their notes or debentures after 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the early participation date but at or prior to the expiration date, and whose securities are accepted for purchase, will only be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration, which is equal to the Total Consideration less the Early Participation Amount.
- Tenders of notes or debentures may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 30, 2015 (subject to extension), but not thereafter.
- AIG reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase the maximum amount of notes and debentures sought in this tender offer. In the event of any such increase, AIG will not be obligated (except as required by applicable law) to extend the early participation date, the withdrawal date or the expiration date.
- If this tender offer is oversubscribed, AIG will accept for payment all securities validly tendered in accordance with the acceptance priority levels set forth in Table III. If there are sufficient remaining funds to purchase some, but not all, of the remaining tendered notes or debentures at any acceptance priority level, AIG will accept for payment such tendered notes or debentures on a prorated basis.
