On December 4, 2018, American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) announced that Mark D. Lyons, Senior Vice President and Chief Actuary for General Insurance, is succeeding Siddhartha Sankaran as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective December 4, 2018. Mr. Lyons, age 62, joined AIG in 2018 from Arch Capital Group, Ltd (“ACGL”), a Bermuda-based public insurance company, where he served as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer since 2012. Mr. Lyons joined ACGL in 2002 and had served in various capacities within Arch Insurance U.S. operations, eventually rising to Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Arch Worldwide Insurance Group. Prior to joining ACGL, Mr. Lyons held various positions at Zurich U.S., Berkshire Hathaway and AIG. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Lyons and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as an officer, and Mr. Lyons has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Any changes to Mr. Lyons’ compensation arrangements in connection with his appointment will be reflected in an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K once determined.
