NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
American International Group, Inc. (AIG) is a leading international insurance organization serving customers in more than 130 countries. AIG companies serve commercial, institutional and individual customers through one of the most extensive worldwide property-casualty networks of any insurer. In addition, AIG companies are leading providers of life insurance and retirement services in the United States. AIG Common Stock, par value $2.50 per share (AIG Common Stock), is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The United States Department of the Treasury (Department of the Treasury) owned approximately 15.9 percent of AIG Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2012. See Note 10 herein for additional information on the Department of the Treasury's ownership of AIG Common Stock and the registered public offerings of AIG Common Stock initiated by the Department of the Treasury in 2012.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures that are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of American International Group, Inc. (AIG) for the year ended December 31, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 on Forms 10-K/A filed on February 27, 2012 and March 30, 2012, respectively, and as updated by AIG's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 4, 2012 (collectively, the 2011 Annual Report). The condensed consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2011 included herein has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements in the 2011 Annual Report not included herein.
Certain of AIG's foreign subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements report on different fiscal-period bases. The effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition and results of operations of all material events occurring at these subsidiaries through the date of each of the periods presented in these financial statements has been recorded.
In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain the normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results presented herein. Interim period operating results may not be indicative of the operating results for a full year. AIG evaluated the need to recognize or disclose events that occurred subsequent to September 30, 2012 and prior to the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Revisions to Prior Year Financial Statements
On January 1, 2012, AIG retrospectively adopted a standard that changed its method of accounting for costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. See Note 2 herein for additional details, including a summary of revisions to prior year financial statements.
To align the presentation of changes in the fair value of derivatives with changes in the administration of AIG's derivatives portfolio, changes were made to the presentation within the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Specifically, amounts attributable to derivative activity where AIG Financial Products Corp. and AIG Trading Group Inc. and their respective subsidiaries (collectively, AIGFP) executed transactions with third parties on behalf of AIG subsidiaries have been reclassified from Other income to Net realized capital gains (losses). Additionally, certain other items have been reclassified within the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the current period. Prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. AIG considers its accounting policies that are most dependent on the
8

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
application of estimates and assumptions to be those relating to items considered by management in the determination of:
These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, AIG's consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recent Accounting Standards
Future Application of Accounting Standards
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standard that allows a company the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. A company is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the company determines it is more likely than not the asset is impaired.
The standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. A company can choose to early adopt the standard. AIG intends to adopt the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2013. AIG does not expect adoption of the standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting Standards Adopted During 2012
AIG adopted the following accounting standards on January 1, 2012:
Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts
In October 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that amends the accounting for costs incurred by insurance companies that can be capitalized in connection with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. The standard clarifies how to determine whether the costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify as DAC. AIG adopted the standard retrospectively on January 1, 2012.
Policy acquisition costs represent those costs that are incremental and directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts. AIG defers incremental costs that result directly from, and are essential to, the acquisition or renewal of an insurance contract. Such costs generally include agent or broker commissions and bonuses, premium taxes, and medical and inspection fees that would not have been incurred if the insurance
9
American International Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
contract had not been acquired or renewed. Each cost is analyzed to assess whether it is fully deferrable. AIG partially defers costs, including certain commissions, when it does not believe the entire cost is directly related to the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts.
AIG also defers a portion of employee total compensation and payroll-related fringe benefits directly related to time spent performing specific acquisition or renewal activities, including costs associated with the time spent on underwriting, policy issuance and processing, and sales force contract selling. The amounts deferred are derived based on successful efforts for each distribution channel and/or cost center from which the cost originates.
Advertising costs related to the issuance of insurance contracts that meet the direct-advertising criteria are deferred and amortized as part of deferred policy acquisition costs.
The method AIG uses to amortize deferred policy acquisition costs for either short- or long-duration insurance contracts did not change as a result of the adoption of the standard.
The adoption of the standard resulted in a reduction to beginning of period retained earnings for the earliest period presented and a decrease in the amount of capitalized costs in connection with the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts. Accordingly, AIG revised its historical financial statements and accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for the changes in deferred policy acquisition costs and associated changes in acquisition expenses and income taxes for affected entities and segments, including divested entities presented in continuing and discontinued operations.
The following tables present amounts previously reported in 2011, the effect of the change due to the retrospective adoption of the standard, and the adjusted amounts that are reflected in AIG's consolidated financial statements.

For short-duration insurance contracts, starting in 2012, AIG elected to include anticipated investment income in its determination of whether the deferred policy acquisition costs are recoverable. AIG believes the inclusion of anticipated investment income in the recoverability analysis is a preferable accounting policy because it includes in the recoverability analysis the fact that there is a timing difference between when the premiums are collected and in turn invested and when the losses and related expenses are paid. This is considered a change in accounting principle that required retrospective application to all periods presented. Because AIG historically has not recorded any premium deficiency on its short-duration insurance contracts even without the inclusion of anticipated investment income, there were no changes to the historical financial statements for the change in accounting principle.
Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements
In April 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amends the criteria used to determine effective control for repurchase agreements and other similar arrangements such as securities lending transactions. The standard modifies the criteria for determining when these transactions would be accounted for as secured borrowings (i.e., financings) instead of sales of the securities.
The standard removes from the assessment of effective control the requirement that the transferor have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee. The removal of this requirement makes the level of collateral received by the transferor in a repurchase agreement or similar arrangement irrelevant in determining whether the transaction should be accounted for as a sale. As a consequence, more repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and similar arrangements will be accounted for as secured borrowings.
The guidance in the standard must be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after January 1, 2012. Under this standard, there are no repurchase agreements that continue to be accounted for as sales as of September 30, 2012. Any modifications to these transactions that occur subsequent to adoption will result in an assessment of whether they should be accounted for as secured borrowings under the standard. As of September 30, 2012, there were no such modifications subsequent to the adoption of the standard.

Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in GAAP and IFRS
In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amended certain aspects of the fair value measurement guidance in GAAP, primarily to achieve the FASB's objective of a converged definition of fair value and substantially converged measurement and disclosure guidance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The measurement and disclosure requirements under GAAP and IFRS are now generally consistent, with certain exceptions including the accounting for day one gains and losses, measuring the fair value of alternative investments using net asset value and certain disclosure requirements.
The standard's fair value measurement and disclosure guidance applies to all companies that measure assets, liabilities, or instruments classified in shareholders' equity at fair value or provide fair value disclosures for items not recorded at fair value. The guidance clarifies existing guidance on the application of fair value measurements, changes certain principles or requirements for measuring fair value, and requires significant additional disclosures for Level 3 valuation inputs. The new disclosure requirements were applied prospectively. The standard became effective beginning on January 1, 2012. The standard did not have any effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 4 herein.
Presentation of Comprehensive Income
In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard that requires the presentation of comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components, followed consecutively by a second statement that presents total other comprehensive income and its components. The standard became effective beginning January 1, 2012 with retrospective application required. The standard did not have any effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Testing Goodwill for Impairment
In September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amends the approach to testing goodwill for impairment. The standard simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative, two-step goodwill impairment test. The standard became effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the standard did not have any effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Commencing in the third quarter of 2012, the Chartis segment was renamed AIG Property Casualty and the SunAmerica segment was renamed AIG Life and Retirement, although certain existing brands will continue to be used.
AIG reports the results of its operations through three reportable segments: AIG Property Casualty, AIG Life and Retirement and Aircraft Leasing. AIG evaluates performance based on pre-tax income (loss), excluding results from discontinued operations, because AIG believes this provides more meaningful information on how its operations are performing.
Effective during the first quarter of 2012, in order to align financial reporting with the manner in which AIG's chief operating decision makers review the AIG Property Casualty businesses to assess performance and make decisions about resources to be allocated, certain products previously reported in Commercial Insurance were reclassified to

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
AIG carries certain of its financial instruments at fair value. AIG defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Annual Report for a discussion of AIG's accounting policies and procedures regarding fair value measurements related to the following information.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of three "levels" based on the observability of inputs available in the marketplace used to measure the fair values as discussed below:

Transfers of Level 1 and Level 2 Assets and Liabilities
AIG's policy is to record transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. Assets are transferred out of Level 1 when they are no longer transacted with sufficient frequency and volume in an active market. Conversely, assets are transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 when transaction volume and frequency are indicative of an active market. During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, AIG transferred $148 million and $284 million of securities issued by Non-U.S. government entities from Level 1 to Level 2, respectively, as they are no longer considered actively traded. For similar reasons, during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, AIG transferred $743 million of securities issued by the U.S. government and government-sponsored entities from Level 1 to Level 2. AIG had no material transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012.
Changes in Level 3 Recurring Fair Value Measurements

American International Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3 in the tables above. As a result, the unrealized gains (losses) on instruments held at September 30, 2012 and 2011 may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable inputs (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities).
Transfers of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities
AIG's policy is to record transfers of assets and liabilities into or out of Level 3 at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. As a result, the Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) included in income or other comprehensive income and as shown in the table above excludes $80 million of net losses and $127 million of net gains related to assets and liabilities transferred into Level 3 during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and includes $29 million and $83 million of net gains related to assets and liabilities transferred out of Level 3 during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
Transfers of Level 3 Assets
During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, transfers into Level 3 included certain residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS), asset-backed securities (ABS), private placement corporate debt and certain private equity funds and hedge funds. Transfers into Level 3 for certain RMBS and certain ABS were related to decreased observations of market transactions and price information for those securities. The transfers into Level 3 of investments in certain other RMBS and CMBS were due to a decrease in market transparency, downward credit migration and an overall increase in price disparity for certain individual security types. Transfers into Level 3 for private placement corporate debt and certain other ABS were primarily the result of limited market pricing information that required AIG to determine fair value for these securities based on inputs that are adjusted to better reflect AIG's own assumptions regarding the characteristics of a specific security or associated market liquidity. Certain private equity fund and hedge fund investments were transferred into Level 3 due to these investments being carried at fair value and no longer being accounted for using the equity method of accounting, consistent with the changes to AIG's influence over the respective investments. Other hedge fund investments were transferred into Level 3 as a result of limited market activity due to fund-imposed redemption restrictions.
Assets are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that significant inputs can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity for the asset, a specific event, one or more significant input(s) becoming observable or a long-term interest rate significant to a valuation becoming short-term and thus observable. In addition, transfers out of Level 3 also occur when investments are no longer carried at fair value as the result of a change in the applicable accounting methodology, given changes in the nature and extent of AIG's ownership interest. During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, transfers out of Level 3 primarily related to certain RMBS, ABS, investments in private placement corporate debt and private equity funds and hedge funds. Transfers out of Level 3 for certain RMBS were based on consideration of the market liquidity as well as related transparency of pricing and associated observable inputs for these investments. Transfers out of Level 3 for ABS and private placement corporate debt were primarily the result of AIG using observable pricing information that reflects the fair value of those securities without the need for adjustment based on AIG's own assumptions regarding the characteristics of a specific security or the current liquidity in the market. The removal of fund-imposed redemption restrictions, as well as a fund investment no longer being carried at fair value, resulted in the transfer of hedge funds and private equity funds out of Level 3.
Transfers of Level 3 Liabilities
As AIG presents carrying values of its derivative positions on a net basis in the table above, transfers into Level 3 liabilities for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, primarily related to certain derivative

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
assets transferred out of Level 3 because of the presence of observable inputs on certain forward commitments and options. During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, certain notes payable were transferred out of Level 3 because input parameters for the pricing of these liabilities became more observable as a result of market movements and portfolio aging. There were no significant transfers of derivative liabilities out of Level 3 liabilities.
AIG uses various hedging techniques to manage risks associated with certain positions, including those classified within Level 3. Such techniques may include the purchase or sale of financial instruments that are classified within Level 1 and/or Level 2. As a result, the realized and unrealized gains (losses) for assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 presented in the table above do not reflect the related realized or unrealized gains (losses) on hedging instruments that are classified within Level 1 and/or Level 2.
Fair Value Measurements on a Non-Recurring Basis

Quantitative Information About Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The table below presents information about the significant unobservable inputs used for recurring fair value measurements for certain Level 3 instruments, and includes only those instruments for which information about the inputs is reasonably available to AIG, such as data from pricing vendors and from internal valuation models. Because input information with respect to certain Level 3 instruments may not be reasonably available to AIG, balances shown below may not equal total amounts reported for such Level 3 assets and liabilities:

The ranges of these inputs do not directly correlate to changes in the fair values of the tranches purchased by AIG because there are other factors relevant to the specific tranches owned by AIG including, but not limited to, purchase price, position in the waterfall, senior versus subordinated position and attachment points.
(b) Represents discount rates, estimates and assumptions that AIG believes would be used by market participants when valuing these assets and liabilities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
The ranges of reported inputs for Corporate debt, RMBS, CDO/ABS, and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) valued using a discounted cash flow technique consist of plus/minus one standard deviation in either direction from the value-weighted average. The preceding table does not give effect to AIG's risk management practices that might offset risks inherent in these investments.
Sensitivity to Changes in Unobservable Inputs
AIG considers unobservable inputs to be those for which market data is not available and that are developed using the best information available to AIG about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Relevant inputs vary depending on the nature of the instrument being measured at fair value. The following is a general description of sensitivities of significant unobservable inputs along with interrelationships between and among the significant unobservable inputs and their impact on the fair value measurements. The effect of a change in a particular assumption in the sensitivity analysis below is considered independently of changes in any other assumptions. In practice, simultaneous changes in assumptions may not always have a linear effect on the inputs discussed below. Interrelationships may also exist between observable and unobservable inputs. Such relationships have not been included in the discussion below. For each of the individual relationships described below, the inverse relationship would also generally apply.
Corporate Debt
Corporate debt securities included in Level 3 are primarily private placement issuances that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions. Fair value measurements consider illiquidity and non-transferability. When observable price quotations are not available, fair value is determined based on discounted cash flow models using discount rates based on credit spreads, yields or price levels of publicly-traded debt of the issuer or other comparable securities, considering illiquidity and structure. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of corporate debt is the yield. The yield is affected by the market movements in credit spreads and U.S. Treasury yields. In addition, the migration in credit quality of a given security generally has a corresponding effect on the fair value measurement of the securities. For example, a downward migration of credit quality would increase spreads. Holding U.S. Treasury rates constant, an increase in corporate credit spreads would decrease the fair value of corporate debt.
RMBS and Certain CDO/ABS
The significant unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements of residential mortgage backed securities and certain CDO/ABS valued by third-party valuation service providers are constant prepayment rates (CPR), constant default rates (CDR), loss severity, and yield. A change in the assumptions used for the probability of default will generally be accompanied by a corresponding change in the assumption used for the loss severity and an inverse change in the assumption used for prepayment rates. In general, increases in yield, CPR, CDR, and loss severity, in isolation, would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. Changes in fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship between the directional change of each input is not usually linear.
CMBS
The significant unobservable input used in fair value measurements for commercial mortgage backed securities is the yield. Prepayment assumptions for each mortgage pool are factored into the yield. CMBS generally feature a lower degree of prepayment risk than RMBS because commercial mortgages generally contain a penalty for prepayment. In general, increases in the yield would decrease the fair value of CMBS.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
CDO/ABS Direct Investment book
The significant unobservable inputs used for certain CDO/ABS securities valued using the BET are recovery rates, diversity score, and the weighted average life of the portfolio. An increase in recovery rates and diversity score will have a directionally similar corresponding impact on the fair value measurement of the portfolio. An increase in the weighted average life will decrease the fair value.
Policyholder contract deposits
The significant unobservable inputs used for embedded derivatives in policyholder contract deposits measured at fair value, mainly guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (GMWB) for variable annuity products, are equity volatility, mortality rates, lapse rates and utilization rates. Mortality, lapse and utilization rates may vary significantly depending upon age groups and duration. In general, increases in volatilities and utilization rates will increase the fair value, while increases in lapse rates and mortality rates will decrease the fair value of the liability associated with the GMWB.
Derivative liabilities credit contracts
The significant unobservable inputs used for Derivatives liabilities credit contracts are recovery rates, diversity scores, and the weighted average life of the portfolio. AIG non-performance risk is also considered in the measurement of the liability. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Annual Report for a discussion of AIG's accounting policies and procedures regarding incorporation of AIG's own credit risk in fair value measurements.
An increase in recovery rates and diversity score will decrease the fair value of the liability. An increase in the weighted average life will have a directionally similar corresponding effect on the fair value measurement of the liability.

Investments in Certain Entities Carried at Fair Value Using Net Asset Value Per Share
The following table includes information related to AIG's investments in certain other invested assets, including private equity funds, hedge funds and other alternative investments that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). For these investments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis, AIG uses the net asset value per share as a practical expedient to measure fair value.

Private equity fund investments included above are not redeemable, as distributions from the funds will be received when underlying investments of the funds are liquidated. Private equity funds are generally expected to have 10-year lives at their inception, but these lives may be extended at the fund manager's discretion, typically in one or two year increments. At September 30, 2012, assuming average original expected lives of 10 years for the funds, 42 percent of the total fair value using net asset value or its equivalent above would have expected remaining lives of less than three years, 56 percent between three and seven years and 2 percent between seven and 10 years.
At September 30, 2012, hedge fund investments included above are redeemable monthly (11 percent), quarterly (31 percent), semi-annually (24 percent) and annually (34 percent), with redemption notices ranging from one day to 180 days. More than 60 percent of these hedge fund investments require redemption notices of less than 90 days. Investments representing approximately 54 percent of the value of the hedge fund investments cannot be redeemed, either in whole or in part, because the investments include various restrictions. The majority of these restrictions were put in place prior to 2009 and do not have stated end dates. The restrictions that have pre-defined end dates are generally expected to be lifted by the end of 2015. The partial restrictions relate to certain hedge funds that hold at least one investment that the fund manager deems to be illiquid.

See Note 2(a) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Annual Report for additional information about AIG's policies for recognition, measurement, and disclosure of interest and dividend income and interest expense.
AIG recognized gains (losses) attributable to the observable effect of changes in credit spreads on AIG's own liabilities for which the fair value option was elected of $126 million of loss and $621 million of loss during the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and gain of $459 million and $475 million during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively. AIG calculates the effect of these credit spread changes using discounted cash flow techniques that incorporate current market interest rates, AIG's observable credit spreads on these liabilities and other factors that mitigate the risk of nonperformance such as cash collateral posted.

Sale of AIA Shares
On March 7, 2012, AIG sold approximately 1.72 billion ordinary shares of AIA Group Limited (AIA) for gross proceeds of approximately $6.0 billion. On September 11, 2012, AIG sold approximately 600 million ordinary shares of AIA for gross proceeds of approximately $2.0 billion. As a result of these sales, AIG's retained interest in AIA decreased from approximately 33 percent with a total carrying value of $12.4 billion at December 31, 2011 to approximately 14 percent with a total carrying value of $6.1 billion at September 30, 2012.

At September 30, 2012, AIG held 3,444 and 254 individual fixed maturity and equity securities, respectively, that were in an unrealized loss position, of which 1,679 individual fixed maturity securities were in a continuous unrealized loss position for longer than 12 months. AIG did not recognize the unrealized losses in earnings on these fixed maturity securities at September 30, 2012, because management neither intends to sell the securities nor does it believe that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Furthermore, management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. In performing this evaluation, management considered the recovery periods for securities in previous periods of broad market declines. For fixed maturity securities with significant declines, management performed fundamental credit analysis on a security-by-security basis, which included consideration of credit enhancements, expected defaults on underlying collateral, review of relevant industry analyst reports and forecasts and other available market data.

Purchased Credit Impaired (PCI) Securities
In the second quarter of 2011, AIG began purchasing certain RMBS securities that had experienced deterioration in credit quality since their issuance. Management determined, based on its expectations as to the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be received, that it was probable at acquisition that AIG would not collect all contractually required payments for these PCI securities, including both principal and interest and considering the effects of prepayments. At acquisition, the timing and amount of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be received on each PCI security was determined based on management's best estimate using key assumptions, such as interest rates, default rates and prepayment speeds. At acquisition, the difference between the undiscounted expected future cash flows of the PCI securities and the recorded investment in the securities represents the initial accretable yield, which is to be accreted into net investment income over their remaining lives on a level-yield basis. Additionally, the difference between the contractually required payments on the PCI securities and the undiscounted expected future cash flows represents the non-accretable difference at acquisition. Over time, based on actual payments received and changes in estimates of undiscounted expected future cash flows, the accretable yield and the non-accretable difference can change, as discussed further below.
On a quarterly basis, the undiscounted expected future cash flows associated with PCI securities are re-evaluated based on updates to key assumptions. Declines in undiscounted expected future cash flows due to further credit deterioration as well as changes in the expected timing of the cash flows can result in the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment charge, as PCI securities are subject to AIG's policy for evaluating investments for other-than-temporary impairment. Changes to undiscounted expected future cash flows due solely to the changes in the contractual benchmark interest rates on variable rate PCI securities will change the accretable yield prospectively. Significant increases in undiscounted expected future cash flows for reasons other than interest rate changes are recognized prospectively as adjustments to the accretable yield.

Pledged Investments
Secured Financing and Similar Arrangements
AIG enters into financing transactions, whereby certain securities are transferred to financial institutions in exchange for cash or other liquid collateral. Securities transferred by AIG under these financing transactions may be sold or repledged by the counterparties. As collateral for the securities transferred by AIG, counterparties transfer assets, such as cash or high quality fixed maturity securities. Collateral levels are monitored daily and are generally maintained at an agreed-upon percentage of the fair value of the transferred securities during the life of the transactions. Where AIG receives fixed maturity securities as collateral, AIG does not have the right to sell or repledge this collateral unless an event of default occurs by the counterparties. At the termination of the transactions, AIG and its counterparties are obligated to return the collateral provided and the securities transferred, respectively. These transactions are treated as secured financing arrangements by AIG.
Secured financing transactions also include securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements), in which AIG transfers securities in exchange for cash, with an agreement by AIG to repurchase the same or substantially similar securities. In the majority of these repurchase agreements, the securities transferred by AIG may be sold or repledged by the counterparties.
Under the secured financing transactions described above, securities available for sale with a fair value of $6.3 billion and $2.3 billion at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and trading securities with a fair value of $2.4 billion and $2.8 billion at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, were pledged to counterparties.
40
American International Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Prior to January 1, 2012, in the case of repurchase agreements where AIG did not obtain collateral sufficient to fund substantially all of the cost of purchasing identical replacement securities during the term of the contract (generally less than 90 percent of the security value), AIG accounted for the transaction as a sale of the security and reported the obligation to repurchase the security as a derivative contract. Effective January 1, 2012, the level of collateral received by the transferor in a repurchase agreement or similar arrangement is no longer relevant in determining whether the transaction should be accounted for as a sale. There were no repurchase agreements accounted for as sales as of September 30, 2012. The fair value of securities transferred under repurchase agreements accounted for as sales was $ 2.1 billion at December 31, 2011.
AIG also enters into agreements in which securities are purchased by AIG under agreements to resell (reverse repurchase agreements), which are accounted for as secured financing transactions and reported as short-term investments or other assets, depending on their terms. For these transactions, AIG takes possession of or obtains a security interest in the related securities, and AIG has the right to sell or repledge this collateral received. The fair value of securities collateral pledged to AIG was $7.5 billion and $6.8 billion at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, of which $1.7 billion and $122 million was repledged by AIG.
Insurance Statutory and Other Deposits
Total carrying values of cash and securities deposited by AIG's insurance subsidiaries under requirements of regulatory authorities or other insurance-related arrangements, including certain annuity-related obligations and certain reinsurance agreements, were $9.0 billion and $9.8 billion at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Other Pledges
Certain AIG subsidiaries are members of Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs), and such membership requires the members to own stock in these FHLBs. AIG subsidiaries owned an aggregate of $84 million and $77 million of stock in FHLBs at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. To the extent an AIG subsidiary borrows from the FHLB, its ownership interest in the stock of FHLBs will be pledged to the FHLB. In addition, AIG subsidiaries have pledged securities available for sale with a fair value of $95 million at September 30, 2012, associated with advances from the FHLBs.
Certain GIAs have provisions that require collateral to be posted or payments to be made by AIG upon a downgrade of AIG's long-term debt ratings. The actual amount of collateral required to be posted to the counterparties in the event of such downgrades, and the aggregate amount of payments that AIG could be required to make, depends on market conditions, the fair value of outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevailing at and after the time of the downgrade. The fair value of securities pledged as collateral with respect to these obligations approximated $4.7 billion and $5.1 billion at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. This collateral primarily consists of securities of the U.S. government and government sponsored entities and generally cannot be repledged or resold by the counterparties.

* Of the total, $38 million and $105 million relates to individually assessed credit losses on $332 million and $570 million of commercial mortgage loans as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
As of September 30, 2012, there were no significant loans held by AIG that had been modified in a troubled debt restructuring during 2012.
AIG enters into various arrangements with variable interest entities (VIEs) in the normal course of business. AIG's involvement with VIEs is primarily through its insurance companies as a passive investor in debt securities (rated and unrated) and equity interests issued by VIEs. AIG's exposure is generally limited to those interests held. When AIG holds both an economic interest and the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE, AIG is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE.
Exposure to Loss
AIG's total off-balance sheet exposure associated with VIEs, primarily consisting of commitments to real estate and investment funds, was $0.3 billion and $0.4 billion at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

(a) The assets of each VIE can be used only to settle specific obligations of that VIE.
(b) Decrease primarily due to the retirement of the preferred interests held by the Department of the Treasury in the special purpose vehicle that held the proceeds of the initial public offering of AIA (such SPV, the AIA SPV and such preferred interests, the AIA SPV Preferred Interests). As a result, the AIA SPV no longer qualified as a VIE. Assets include $600 million of cash held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the American Life Insurance Company (ALICO) stock purchase agreement between AIG and MetLife, Inc. (MetLife). See Note 9 herein for further discussion of the escrow arrangement.
(c) At both September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, off-balance sheet exposure with respect to real estate and investments funds was $0.1 billion.
AIG calculates its maximum exposure to loss to be (i) the amount invested in the debt or equity of the VIE, (ii) the notional amount of VIE assets or liabilities where AIG has also provided credit protection to the VIE with the VIE as the referenced obligation, and (iii) other commitments and guarantees to the VIE. Interest holders in VIEs sponsored by AIG generally have recourse only to the assets and cash flows of the VIEs and do not have recourse to AIG, except in limited circumstances when AIG has provided a guarantee to the VIE's interest holders.

8. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING
AIG uses derivatives and other financial instruments as part of its financial risk management programs and as part of its investment operations. AIGFP had also transacted in derivatives as a dealer and had acted as an intermediary between the relevant AIG subsidiary and the counterparty. AIG Markets, Inc. (AIG Markets) has largely replaced AIGFP in acting as an intermediary between AIG subsidiaries and the external counterparties. Global Capital Markets (GCM), included in AIG's Other operations, consists of the operations of AIG Markets and the remaining derivatives portfolio of AIGFP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Collateral
AIG engages in derivative transactions directly with unaffiliated third parties in most cases under International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) agreements (ISDA Master Agreements). Many of the ISDA Master Agreements also include Credit Support Annex (CSA) provisions, which generally provide for collateral postings at various ratings and threshold levels.
Collateral posted by AIG to third parties for derivative transactions was $4.6 billion and $4.7 billion at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. This collateral can generally be repledged or resold by the counterparties. Collateral obtained by AIG from third parties for derivative transactions was $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. This collateral can generally be repledged or resold by AIG.
Hedge Accounting
AIG designated certain derivatives entered into by GCM with third parties as cash flow hedges of certain debt issued by ILFC and designated certain derivatives entered into by AIG's insurance subsidiaries with third parties as fair value hedges of available-for-sale investment securities held by such subsidiaries. The fair value hedges include foreign currency forwards designated as hedges of the change in fair value of foreign currency denominated available-for-sale securities attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. With respect to the cash flow hedges, interest rate swaps were designated as hedges of the changes in cash flows on floating rate debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate.
AIG uses foreign currency denominated debt as hedging instruments in net investment hedge relationships to mitigate the foreign exchange risk associated with AIG's non-U.S. dollar functional currency foreign subsidiaries. AIG assesses the hedge effectiveness and measures the amount of ineffectiveness for these hedge relationships based on changes in spot exchange rates. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, AIG recognized losses of $70 million and $13 million, respectively, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, AIG recognized losses of $1 million and $36 million, respectively, included in Foreign currency translation adjustment in Accumulated other comprehensive income related to the net investment hedge relationships.
A qualitative methodology is utilized to assess hedge effectiveness for net investment hedges, while regression analysis is employed for all other hedges.

Global Capital Markets Derivatives
GCM enters into derivatives to mitigate market risk in its exposures (interest rates, currencies, commodities, credit and equities) arising from its transactions. At September 30, 2012, GCM has entered into credit derivative
47
American International Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
transactions with respect to $81 million of securities to economically hedge its credit risk. In most cases, GCM has not hedged its exposures related to the credit default swaps it has written.
GCM follows a policy of minimizing interest rate, currency, commodity, and equity risks associated with investment securities by entering into offsetting positions, thereby offsetting a significant portion of the unrealized appreciation and depreciation
Super Senior Credit Default Swaps
Credit default swap transactions were entered into with the intention of earning revenue on credit exposure. In the majority of these transactions, credit protection was sold on a designated portfolio of loans or debt securities. Generally, such credit protection was provided on a "second loss" basis, meaning that credit losses would be incurred only after a shortfall of principal and/or interest, or other credit events, in respect of the protected loans and debt securities, exceeds a specified threshold amount or level of "first losses."
The following table presents the net notional amount, fair value of derivative (asset) liability and unrealized market valuation gain (loss) of the super senior credit default swap portfolio, including credit default swaps written on mezzanine tranches of certain regulatory capital relief transactions, by asset class:

(d) During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, a super senior CDS transaction with a net notional amount of $470 million was terminated at approximately its fair value at the time of termination. As a result, a $416 million loss, which was previously included in the fair value derivative liability as an unrealized market valuation loss, was realized. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, $142 million was paid to counterparties with respect to multi-sector CDOs. Upon payment, a $142 million loss, which was previously included in the fair value of the derivative liability as an unrealized market valuation loss, was realized. Multi-sector CDOs also include $3.7 billion and $4.6 billion in net notional amount of credit default swaps written with cash settlement provisions at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
(e) Corporate debt/CLOs include $1.2 billion in net notional amount of credit default swaps written on the super senior tranches of CLOs at both September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
48
American International Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
The expected weighted average maturity of the super senior credit derivative portfolios as of September 30, 2012 was less than one year for both the regulatory capital corporate loan portfolio and the regulatory capital prime residential mortgage portfolio, 5.8 years for the multi-sector CDO arbitrage portfolio and 3.4 years for the corporate debt/CLO portfolio.
Given the current performance of the underlying portfolios, the level of subordination of the credit protection written and the assessment of the credit quality of the underlying portfolio, as well as the risk mitigants inherent in the transaction structures, AIG does not expect that it will be required to make payments pursuant to the contractual terms of those transactions providing regulatory relief.
Because of long-term maturities of the CDS in the arbitrage portfolio, AIG is unable to make reasonable estimates of the periods during which any payments would be made. However, the net notional amount represents the maximum exposure to loss on the super senior credit default swap portfolio.
Written Single Name Credit Default Swaps
Credit default swap contracts referencing single-name exposures written on corporate, index and asset-backed credits have also been entered into with the intention of earning spread income on credit exposure. Some of these transactions were entered into as part of a long-short strategy to earn the net spread between CDS written and purchased. At September 30, 2012, the net notional amount of these written CDS contracts was $633 million, including ABS CDS transactions purchased from a liquidated multi-sector super senior CDS transaction. These exposures have been partially hedged by purchasing offsetting CDS contracts of $52 million in net notional amount. The net unhedged position of $581 million represents the maximum exposure to loss on these CDS contracts. The average maturity of the written CDS contracts is 3.0 years. At September 30, 2012, the fair value of derivative liability (which represents the carrying value) of the portfolio of CDS was $72 million.
Upon a triggering event (e.g., a default) with respect to the underlying credit, the option would normally exist to either settle the position through an auction process (cash settlement) or pay the notional amount of the contract to the counterparty in exchange for a bond issued by the underlying credit obligor (physical settlement).
These CDS contracts were written under ISDA Master Agreements. The majority of these ISDA Master Agreements include CSAs that provide for collateral postings at various ratings and threshold levels. At September 30, 2012, collateral posted by AIG under these contracts was $85 million prior to offsets for other transactions.
All Other Derivatives
AIG's businesses other than GCM also use derivatives and other instruments as part of their financial risk management. Interest rate derivatives (such as interest rate swaps) are used to manage interest rate risk associated with embedded derivatives contained in insurance contract liabilities, fixed maturity securities, outstanding medium- and long-term notes as well as other interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Foreign exchange derivatives (principally foreign exchange forwards and options) are used to economically mitigate risk associated with non-U.S. dollar denominated debt, net capital exposures, and foreign currency transactions. Equity derivatives are used to mitigate financial risk embedded in certain insurance liabilities. The derivatives are effective economic hedges of the exposures that they are meant to offset.
In addition to hedging activities, AIG also enters into derivative instruments with respect to investment operations, which include, among other things, credit default swaps and purchasing investments with embedded derivatives, such as equity-linked notes and convertible bonds.
Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features
The aggregate fair value of AIG's derivative instruments that contain credit risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position at September 30, 2012, was approximately $4.0 billion. The aggregate fair value of assets posted as collateral under these contracts at September 30, 2012, was $4.4 billion.

AIG estimates that at September 30, 2012, based on AIG's outstanding financial derivative transactions a one-notch downgrade of AIG's long-term senior debt ratings to BBB+ by Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (S&P), would permit counterparties to make additional collateral calls and permit the counterparties to elect early termination of contracts, resulting in a negligible amount of corresponding collateral postings and termination payments; a one-notch downgrade to Baa2 by Moody's Investors' Services, Inc. (Moody's) and an additional one-notch downgrade to BBB by S&P would result in approximately $125 million in additional collateral postings and termination payments and a further one-notch downgrade to Baa3 by Moody's and BBB- by S&P would result in approximately $165 million in additional collateral postings and termination payments. Additional collateral postings upon downgrade are estimated based on the factors in the individual collateral posting provisions of the CSA with each counterparty and current exposure as of September 30, 2012. Factors considered in estimating the termination payments upon downgrade include current market conditions, the complexity of the derivative transactions, historical termination experience and other observable market events such as bankruptcy and downgrade events that have occurred at other companies. Management's estimates are also based on the assumption that counterparties will terminate based on their net exposure to AIG. The actual termination payments could significantly differ from management's estimates given market conditions at the time of downgrade and the level of uncertainty in estimating both the number of counterparties who may elect to exercise their right to terminate and the payment that may be triggered in connection with any such exercise.
Hybrid Securities with Embedded Credit Derivatives
AIG invests in hybrid securities (such as credit-linked notes) with the intent of generating income, and not specifically to acquire exposure to embedded derivative risk. Similar to AIG's other investments in RMBS, CMBS, CDOs and ABS, AIG's investments in these hybrid securities are exposed to losses only up to the amount of AIG's initial investment in the hybrid security. Other than AIG's initial investment in the hybrid securities, AIG has no further obligation to make payments on the embedded credit derivatives in the related hybrid securities.
AIG elects to account for its investments in these hybrid securities with embedded written credit derivatives at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in Net investment income and Other income. AIG's investments in these hybrid securities are reported as Bond trading securities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of these hybrid securities was $7.0 billion at September 30, 2012. These securities have a current par amount of $15.4 billion and have remaining stated maturity dates that extend to 2052.
9. CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES
In the normal course of business, various contingent liabilities and commitments are entered into by AIG and certain of its subsidiaries. In addition, AIG guarantees various obligations of certain subsidiaries.
AIG recorded an increase in its estimated litigation liability of approximately $15 million and $742 million in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 based on developments in several actions.
Although AIG cannot currently quantify its ultimate liability for unresolved litigation and investigation matters, including those referred to below, it is possible that such liability could have a material adverse effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition or its consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows for an individual reporting period.
Legal Contingencies
Overview. AIG and its subsidiaries, in common with the insurance and financial services industries in general, are subject to litigation, including claims for punitive damages, in the normal course of their business. In AIG's insurance operations (including UGC), litigation arising from claims settlement activities is generally considered in the establishment of AIG's liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense. However, the potential for increasing jury awards and settlements makes it difficult to assess the ultimate outcome of such litigation. AIG is also subject to derivative, class action and other claims asserted by its shareholders and others alleging, among other
50

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
things, breach of fiduciary duties by its directors and officers and violations of insurance laws and regulations, as well as federal and state securities laws. In the case of any derivative action brought on behalf of AIG, any recovery would accrue to the benefit of AIG.
Various regulatory and governmental agencies have been reviewing certain public disclosures, transactions and practices of AIG and its subsidiaries in connection with industry-wide and other inquiries into, among other matters, AIG's liquidity, compensation paid to certain employees, payments made to counterparties, and certain business practices and valuations of current and former operating insurance subsidiaries. AIG has cooperated, and will continue to cooperate, in producing documents and other information in response to subpoenas and other requests.
AIG's Subprime Exposure, AIGFP Credit Default Swap Portfolio and Related Matters
AIG, AIGFP and certain directors and officers of AIG, AIGFP and other AIG subsidiaries have been named in various actions relating to AIG's exposure to the U.S. residential subprime mortgage market, unrealized market valuation losses on AIGFP's super senior credit default swap portfolio, losses and liquidity constraints relating to AIG's securities lending program and related disclosure and other matters (Subprime Exposure Issues).
Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation. Between May 21, 2008 and January 15, 2009, eight purported securities class action complaints were filed against AIG and certain directors and officers of AIG and AIGFP, AIG's outside auditors, and the underwriters of various securities offerings in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the Southern District of New York), alleging claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). On March 20, 2009, the Court consolidated all eight of the purported securities class actions as In re American International Group, Inc. 2008 Securities Litigation (the Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation).
On May 19, 2009, lead plaintiff in the Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation filed a consolidated complaint on behalf of purchasers of AIG Common Stock during the alleged class period of March 16, 2006 through September 16, 2008, and on behalf of purchasers of various AIG securities offered pursuant to AIG's shelf registration statements. The consolidated complaint alleges that defendants made statements during the class period in press releases, AIG's quarterly and year-end filings, during conference calls, and in various registration statements and prospectuses in connection with the various offerings that were materially false and misleading and that artificially inflated the price of AIG Common Stock. The alleged false and misleading statements relate to, among other things, the Subprime Exposure Issues. The consolidated complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act. On August 5, 2009, defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated complaint, and on September 27, 2010, the Court denied the motions to dismiss.
On April 1, 2011, the lead plaintiff in the Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation filed a motion to certify a class of plaintiffs. On November 2, 2011, the Court terminated the motion without prejudice to an application for restoration. On March 30, 2012, the lead plaintiff filed a renewed motion to certify a class of plaintiffs.
AIG has accrued its estimate of probable loss with respect to this litigation.
On November 18, 2011, January 20, 2012, June 11, 2012, and August 8, 2012, four separate, though similar, securities actions were brought against AIG and certain directors and officers of AIG and AIGFP by the Kuwait Investment Authority, various Oppenheimer Funds, eight foreign funds and investment entities led by the British Coal Staff Superannuation Scheme, and Pacific Life Funds and Pacific Select Fund.
As of November 1, 2012, no discussions concerning potential damages have occurred and the plaintiffs have not formally specified an amount of alleged damages in their respective actions. As a result, AIG is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from these litigations.
ERISA Actions Southern District of New York. Between June 25, 2008, and November 25, 2008, AIG, certain directors and officers of AIG, and members of AIG's Retirement Board and Investment Committee were named as defendants in eight purported class action complaints asserting claims on behalf of participants in certain pension plans sponsored by AIG or its subsidiaries. The Court subsequently consolidated these eight actions as In re American International Group, Inc. ERISA Litigation II. On September 4, 2012, lead plaintiffs' counsel filed a second
51

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
consolidated amended complaint. The action purports to be brought as a class action under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), on behalf of all participants in or beneficiaries of certain benefit plans of AIG and its subsidiaries that offered shares of AIG Common Stock. In the consolidated amended complaint, plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary responsibilities to plan participants and their beneficiaries under ERISA, by continuing to offer the AIG Stock Fund as an investment option in the plans after it allegedly became imprudent to do so. The alleged ERISA violations relate to, among other things, the defendants' purported failure to monitor and/or disclose certain matters, including the Subprime Exposure Issues.
As of November 1, 2012, plaintiffs have not formally specified an amount of alleged damages, discovery is ongoing, and the Court has not determined if a class action is appropriate or the size or scope of any class. As a result, AIG is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from the litigation.
Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation. On November 20, 2007 and August 6, 2008, purported shareholder derivative actions were filed in the Southern District of New York naming as defendants directors and officers of AIG and its subsidiaries and asserting claims on behalf of nominal defendant AIG. The actions have been consolidated as In re American International Group, Inc. 2007 Derivative Litigation (the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation). On June 3, 2009, lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint naming additional directors and officers of AIG and its subsidiaries as defendants. As amended, the factual allegations include the Subprime Exposure Issues and AIG and AIGFP employee retention payments and related compensation issues. The claims asserted on behalf of nominal defendant AIG include breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, contribution and violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. On March 30, 2010, the Court dismissed the action due to plaintiff's failure to make a pre-suit demand on AIG's Board of Directors (the Board). On March 17, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the Second Circuit) affirmed the Southern District of New York's dismissal of the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation due to plaintiff's failure to make a pre-suit demand.
On August 10, 2011 and August 15, 2011, the plaintiff that brought the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation sent letters to the Board demanding that the Board cause AIG to pursue the claims asserted in the Consolidated 2007 Derivative Litigation. On September 13, 2011, the Board rejected the demand.
On March 20, 2009, a purported shareholder derivative complaint alleging similar claims as the Consolidated 2007 Derivatives Litigation was filed in the Supreme Court of New York County naming as defendants certain directors and officers of AIG and recipients of AIGFP retention payments. The complaint has not been served on any defendant.
Canadian Securities Class Action Ontario Superior Court of Justice. On November 12, 2008, an application was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for leave to bring a purported class action against AIG, AIGFP, certain directors and officers of AIG and Joseph Cassano, the former Chief Executive Officer of AIGFP, pursuant to the Ontario Securities Act. If the Court grants the application, a class plaintiff will be permitted to file a statement of claim against defendants. The proposed statement of claim would assert a class period of March 16, 2006 through September 16, 2008 and would allege that during this period defendants made false and misleading statements and omissions in quarterly and annual reports and during oral presentations in violation of the Ontario Securities Act.
On April 17, 2009, defendants filed a motion record in support of their motion to stay or dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and forum non conveniens. On July 12, 2010, the Court adjourned a hearing on the motion pending a decision by the Supreme Court of Canada in a pair of actions captioned Club Resorts Ltd. v. Van Breda 2012 SCC 17 (Van Breda). On April 18, 2012, the Supreme Court of Canada clarified the standard for determining jurisdiction over foreign and out-of-province defendants, such as AIG, by holding that a defendant must have some form of "actual," as opposed to a merely "virtual," presence in order to be deemed to be "doing business" in the jurisdiction. The Supreme Court of Canada also suggested that in future cases, defendants may contest jurisdiction even when they are found to be doing business in a Canadian jurisdiction if their business activities in the jurisdiction are unrelated to the subject matter of the litigation. The matter has been stayed pending further developments in the Consolidated 2008 Securities Litigation.

In plaintiff's proposed statement of claim, plaintiff alleged general and special damages of $500 million and punitive damages of $50 million plus prejudgment interest or such other sums as the Court finds appropriate. As of November 1, 2012 the Court has not determined whether it has jurisdiction or granted plaintiff's application to file a statement of claim, no merits discovery has occurred and the action has been stayed. As a result, AIG is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from the litigation.
Starr International Litigation
On November 21, 2011, Starr International Company, Inc. (SICO) filed a complaint against the United States in the United States Court of Federal Claims (the Court of Federal Claims), bringing claims, both individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated and derivatively on behalf of AIG (the Starr Treasury Action). The complaint challenges the government's assistance of AIG, pursuant to which AIG entered into the FRBNY Credit Facility and the United States received an approximately 80 percent ownership in AIG. The complaint alleges that the interest rate imposed on AIG and the appropriation of approximately 80 percent of AIG's equity was discriminatory, unprecedented, and inconsistent with liquidity assistance offered by the government to other comparable firms at the time and violated the Equal Protection, Due Process, and Takings Clauses of the U.S. Constitution.
On November 21, 2011, SICO also filed a second complaint in the Southern District of New York against the FRBNY bringing claims, both individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated and derivatively on behalf of AIG. This complaint also challenges the government's assistance of AIG, pursuant to which AIG entered into the FRBNY Credit Facility and the United States received an approximately 80 percent ownership in AIG. The complaint alleges that the FRBNY owed fiduciary duties to AIG as a controlling shareholder of AIG, and that the FRBNY breached these fiduciary duties by "divert[ing] the rights and assets of AIG and its shareholders to itself and favored third parties" through transactions involving ML III, an entity controlled by the FRBNY, and by "participating in, and causing AIG's officers and directors to participate in, the evasion of AIG's existing Common Stock shareholders' right to approve the massive issuance of the new Common Shares required to complete the government's taking of a nearly 80 percent interest in the Common Stock of AIG." SICO also alleges that the "FRBNY has asserted that in exercising its control over, and acting on behalf of, AIG it did not act in an official, governmental capacity or at the direction of the United States," but that "[t]o the extent the proof at or prior to trial shows that the FRBNY did in fact act in a governmental capacity, or at the direction of the United States, the improper conduct . . . constitutes the discriminatory takings of the property and property rights of AIG without due process or just compensation."
On January 31, 2012 and February 1, 2012, amended complaints were filed in the Court of Federal Claims and the Southern District of New York, respectively. On March 1, 2012, the United States filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in the Court of Federal Claims. On April 2, 2012, the FRBNY filed its motion to dismiss the amended complaint in the Southern District of New York. On July 2, 2012, the Court of Federal Claims issued an opinion largely denying the United States' motion to dismiss and allowing most of SICO's claims to proceed. The United States filed an answer on July 30, 2012. On August 9, 2012, the United States filed a motion for reconsideration of the Court of Federal Claim's July 2, 2012 Order. On August 22, 2012, the United States filed a renewed motion to dismiss and stay. On September 13, 2012, and September 17, 2012, the Court of Federal Claims denied the United States' renewed motion to dismiss and stay and motion for reconsideration, respectively. Discovery is proceeding in the Court of Federal Claims.
In both of the actions commenced by SICO, the only claims naming AIG as a party are derivative claims on behalf of AIG. On September 21, 2012, SICO made a pre-litigation demand on AIG's Board demanding that AIG pursue the derivative claims in both actions. AIG has informed the Court of Federal Claims and the Southern District of New York that AIG's Board expects to make a decision on Starr's demand by the end of January 2013.
The United States has alleged, as an affirmative defense in its answer, that AIG is obligated to indemnify the FRBNY and its representatives, including the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the United States (as the FRBNY's principal), for any recovery in the Court of Federal Claims action, and seeks a contingent offset or recoupment for the value of net operating loss benefits the United States alleges that AIG received as a result of the government's assistance to AIG. The FRBNY has also requested indemnification under the FRBNY Credit Facility from AIG in

connection with the action against it and from ML III under the Master Investment and Credit Agreement and the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of ML III.
Other Litigation Related to AIGFP
On September 30, 2009, Brookfield Asset Management, Inc. and Brysons International, Ltd. (together, Brookfield) filed a complaint against AIG and AIGFP in the Southern District of New York. Brookfield seeks a declaration that a 1990 interest rate swap agreement between Brookfield and AIGFP (guaranteed by AIG) terminated upon the occurrence of certain alleged events that Brookfield contends constituted defaults under the swap agreement's standard "bankruptcy" default provision. Brookfield claims that it is excused from all future payment obligations under the swap agreement on the basis of the purported termination. At September 30, 2012, the estimated present value of expected future cash flows discounted at LIBOR was $1.5 billion, which represents AIG's maximum contractual loss from the alleged termination of the contract. It is AIG's position that no termination event has occurred and that the swap agreement remains in effect. A determination that a termination event has occurred could result in AIG losing its entitlement to all future payments under the swap agreement and result in a loss to AIG of the full value at which AIG is carrying the swap agreement.
Additionally, a determination that AIG triggered a "bankruptcy" event of default under the swap agreement could also, depending on the Court's precise holding, affect other AIG or AIGFP agreements that contain the same or similar default provisions. Such a determination could also affect derivative agreements or other contracts between third parties, such as credit default swaps under which AIG is a reference credit, which could affect the trading price of AIG securities. During the third quarter of 2011, beneficiaries of certain previously repaid AIGFP guaranteed investment agreements brought an action against AIG Parent and AIGFP making "bankruptcy" event of default allegations similar to those made by Brookfield. The Court subsequently issued a decision dismissing that action, which is currently on appeal.
Employment Litigation against AIG and AIG Global Real Estate Investment Corporation
Fitzpatrick matter. On December 9, 2009, AIG Global Real Estate Investment Corporation's (AIGGRE) former President, Kevin P. Fitzpatrick, several entities he controls, and various other single purpose entities (the SPEs) filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County against AIG and AIGGRE (the Defendants). The case was removed to the Southern District of New York, and an amended complaint was filed on March 8, 2010. The amended complaint asserts that the Defendants violated fiduciary duties to Fitzpatrick and his controlled entities and breached Fitzpatrick's employment agreement and agreements of SPEs that purportedly entitled him to carried interest fees arising out of the sale or disposition of certain real estate. Fitzpatrick has also brought derivative claims on behalf of the SPEs, purporting to allege that the Defendants breached contractual and fiduciary duties in failing to fund the SPEs with various amounts allegedly due under the SPE agreements. Fitzpatrick has also requested injunctive relief, an accounting, and that a receiver be appointed to manage the affairs of the SPEs. He has further alleged that the SPEs are subject to a constructive trust. Fitzpatrick also has alleged a violation of ERISA relating to retirement benefits purportedly due. Fitzpatrick has claimed that he is currently owed damages totaling approximately $196 million, and that potential future amounts owed to him are approximately $78 million, for a total of approximately $274 million. Fitzpatrick further claims unspecified amounts of carried interest on certain additional real estate assets of AIG and its affiliates. He also seeks punitive damages for the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. Defendants assert that Fitzpatrick has been paid all amounts currently due and owing pursuant to the various agreements through which he seeks recovery. As set forth above, the possible range of loss to AIG is $0 to $274 million, although Fitzpatrick claims that he is also entitled to additional unspecified amounts of carried interest and punitive damages.
Behm matter. Frank Behm, former President of AIG Global Real Estate Asia Pacific, Inc. (AIGGREAP), has filed two actions in connection with the termination of his employment. Behm filed an action on or about October 1, 2010 in Delaware Superior Court in which he asserts claims of breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing for termination in violation of public policy, deprivation of compensation, and breach of contract. Additionally, on or
54
American International Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
about March 29, 2011, Behm filed an arbitration proceeding before the American Arbitration Association alleging wrongful termination, in which he seeks the payment of carried interest or "promote" distributed through the SPEs, based on the sales of certain real estate assets. Behm also contends that he is entitled to promote as a third-party beneficiary of Kevin Fitzpatrick's employment agreement, which, Behm claims, defines broadly a class of individuals, allegedly including himself, who, with the approval of AIG's former Chief Investment Officer, became eligible to receive promote payments. Behm is now claiming approximately $67 million in carried interest. Multiple AIG entities (the AIG Entities) are named as parties in each of the Behm matters. The AIG Entities have filed a counterclaim in the Delaware case, contending that Behm owes them approximately $3.6 million (before pre-judgment interest) in tax equalization payments made by the AIG Entities on Behm's behalf.
Both matters filed by Behm are premised on the same key allegations. Behm claims that the AIG Entities wrongfully terminated him from AIGGREAP in an effort to silence him for voicing opposition to allegedly improper practices concerning the amount of AIG reserves for carried interest that Behm contends is due to him and others. The AIG Entities contend that their reserves are appropriate, as Behm's claims for additional carried interest are without merit. Behm claims that, when he refused to accede to the AIG Entities' position as to the amount of carried interest due, he was targeted for investigation and subsequently terminated, purportedly for providing confidential AIG information to a competitor, and its executive search firm. Behm argues that he did not disclose any confidential information; instead, he met with several of the competitor's representatives in order to foster interest in purchasing AIGGREAP.
As set forth above, the possible range of loss to AIG is $0 to $67 million, although Behm claims that he is also entitled to additional unspecified amounts of carried interest and punitive damages.
False Claims Act Complaint
On February 25, 2010, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California by two individuals (Relators) seeking to assert claims on behalf of the United States against AIG and certain other defendants, including Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank, under the False Claims Act. Relators filed a First Amended Complaint on September 30, 2010, adding certain additional defendants, including Bank of America and Société Générale. The amended complaint alleges that defendants engaged in fraudulent business practices in respect of their activities in the over-the-counter market for collateralized debt obligations, and submitted false claims to the United States in connection with the FRBNY Credit Facility and the ML II and ML III entities (the Maiden Lane Interests) through, among other things, misrepresenting AIG's ability and intent to repay amounts drawn on the FRBNY Credit Facility, and misrepresenting the value of the securities that the Maiden Lane Interests acquired from AIG and certain of its counterparties. The complaint seeks unspecified damages pursuant to the False Claims Act in the amount of three times the damages allegedly sustained by the United States as well as interest, attorneys' fees, costs and expenses. The complaint and amended complaints were initially filed and maintained under seal while the United States considered whether to intervene in the action. On or about April 28, 2011, after the United States declined to intervene, the District Court lifted the seal, and Relators served the amended complaint on AIG on July 11, 2011. The Relators have not specified in their amended complaint an amount of alleged damages. As a result, AIG is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from the litigation.
2006 Regulatory Settlements and Related Regulatory Matters
2006 Regulatory Settlements. In February 2006, AIG reached a resolution of claims and matters under investigation with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Office of the New York Attorney General (NYAG) and the New York State Department of Insurance (DOI). The settlements resolved investigations conducted by the SEC, NYAG and DOI in connection with the accounting, financial reporting and insurance brokerage practices of AIG and its subsidiaries, as well as claims relating to the underpayment of certain workers' compensation premium taxes and other assessments. These settlements did not, however, resolve investigations by regulators from other states into insurance brokerage practices related to contingent commissions and other broker-related conduct, such as alleged bid rigging. Nor did the settlements resolve any obligations that AIG may have to state guarantee funds in connection with any of these matters.
55
American International Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
As a result of these settlements, AIG made payments or placed amounts in escrow in 2006 totaling approximately $1.64 billion, $225 million of which represented fines and penalties.
In addition to the escrowed funds, $800 million was deposited into, and subsequently disbursed by, a fund under the supervision of the SEC, to resolve claims asserted against AIG by investors, including the securities class action and shareholder lawsuits described below.
A portion of the total $1.64 billion originally placed in escrow was designated to satisfy certain regulatory and litigation liabilities related to workers' compensation premium reporting issues. The original workers' compensation escrow amount was approximately $338 million and was placed in an account established as part of the 2006 New York regulatory settlement and referred to as the Workers' Compensation Fund. Additional money was placed into escrow accounts as a result of subsequent litigation and regulatory settlements bringing the total workers' compensation escrow amount to approximately $597 million. Approximately $147 million was released from the workers' compensation escrow accounts in satisfaction of fines, penalties and premium tax obligations, which were imposed pursuant to a December 17, 2010 regulatory settlement agreement relating to workers' compensation premium reporting issues that was deemed final and effective on May 29, 2012. Following this disbursement, approximately $450 million remains in escrow and is specifically designated to satisfy class action liabilities related to workers' compensation premium reporting issues. This amount is included in Other assets at September 30, 2012.
On February 1, 2012, AIG was informed by the SEC that AIG had complied with the terms of the settlement order under which AIG had agreed to retain an independent consultant, and as of that date, was no longer subject to such order.
Litigation Related to the Matters Underlying the 2006 Regulatory Settlements
AIG and certain present and former directors and officers of AIG have been named in various actions related to the matters underlying the 2006 Regulatory Settlements. These actions are described below.
The Consolidated 2004 Securities Litigation. Beginning in October 2004, a number of putative securities fraud class action suits were filed in the Southern District of New York against AIG and consolidated as In re American International Group, Inc. Securities Litigation (the Consolidated 2004 Securities Litigation). Subsequently, a separate, though similar, securities fraud action was also brought against AIG by certain Florida pension funds. The lead plaintiff in the Consolidated 2004 Securities Litigation is a group of public retirement systems and pension funds benefiting Ohio state employees, suing on behalf of themselves and all purchasers of AIG's publicly traded securities between October 28, 1999 and April 1, 2005. The named defendants are AIG and a number of present and former AIG officers and directors, as well as C.V. Starr & Co., Inc. (Starr), SICO, General Reinsurance Corporation, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, among others. The lead plaintiff alleges, among other things, that AIG: (i) concealed that it engaged in anti-competitive conduct through alleged payment of contingent commissions to brokers and participation in illegal bid-rigging; (ii) concealed that it used "income smoothing" products and other techniques to inflate its earnings; (iii) concealed that it marketed and sold "income smoothing" insurance products to other companies; and (iv) misled investors about the scope of government investigations. In addition, the lead plaintiff alleges that Maurice R. Greenberg, AIG's former Chief Executive Officer, manipulated AIG's stock price. The lead plaintiff asserts claims for violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Sections 20(a) and Section 20A of the Exchange Act.
On July 14, 2010, AIG approved the terms of a settlement (the Settlement) with lead plaintiffs. The Settlement is conditioned on, among other things, court approval and a minimum level of shareholder participation. Under the terms of the Settlement, if consummated, AIG would pay an aggregate of $725 million. Only two shareholders objected to the Settlement, and 25 shareholders claiming to hold less than 1.5 percent of AIG's outstanding shares at the end of the class period submitted timely and valid requests to opt out of the class. Of those 25 shareholders, seven are investment funds controlled by the same investment group, and that investment group is the only opt-out who held more than 1,000 shares at the end of the class period. By order dated February 2, 2012, the District Court granted lead plaintiffs' motion for final approval of the Settlement. AIG has fully funded the amount of the Settlement into an escrow account.

On January 23, 2012, AIG and the Florida pension funds, who had brought a separate securities fraud action, executed a settlement agreement under which AIG paid $4 million.
On February 17, 2012 and March 6, 2012, two objectors appealed the final approval of the Settlement. On September 27, 2012, the two objectors withdrew their appeals with prejudice.
The Multi-District Litigation. Commencing in 2004, policyholders brought multiple federal antitrust and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) class actions in jurisdictions across the nation against insurers and brokers, including AIG and a number of its subsidiaries, alleging that the insurers and brokers engaged in one or more broad conspiracies to allocate customers, steer business, and rig bids. These actions, including 24 complaints filed in different federal courts naming AIG or an AIG subsidiary as a defendant, were consolidated by the judicial panel on multi-district litigation and transferred to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (District of New Jersey) for coordinated pretrial proceedings. The consolidated actions have proceeded in that Court in two parallel actions, In re Insurance Brokerage Antitrust Litigation (the Commercial Complaint) and In re Employee Benefits Insurance Brokerage Antitrust Litigation (the Employee Benefits Complaint, and, together with the Commercial Complaint, the Multi-District Litigation).
The plaintiffs in the Commercial Complaint are a group of corporations, individuals and public entities that contracted with the broker defendants for the provision of insurance brokerage services for a variety of insurance needs. The broker defendants are alleged to have placed insurance coverage on the plaintiffs' behalf with a number of insurance companies named as defendants, including AIG subsidiaries. The Commercial Complaint also named various brokers and other insurers as defendants (three of which have since settled). The Commercial Complaint alleges that defendants engaged in a number of overlapping "broker-centered" conspiracies to allocate customers through the payment of contingent commissions to brokers and through purported "bid-rigging" practices. It also alleges that the insurer and broker defendants participated in a "global" conspiracy not to disclose to policyholders the payment of contingent commissions. Plaintiffs assert that the defendants violated the Sherman Antitrust Act, RICO, and the antitrust laws of 48 states and the District of Columbia, and are liable under common law breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment theories. Plaintiffs seek treble damages plus interest and attorneys' fees as a result of the alleged RICO and Sherman Antitrust Act violations.
The plaintiffs in the Employee Benefits Complaint are a group of individual employees and corporate and municipal employers alleging claims on behalf of two separate nationwide purported classes: an employee class and an employer class that acquired insurance products from the defendants from January 1, 1998 to December 31, 2004. The Employee Benefits Complaint names AIG, as well as various other brokers and insurers, as defendants. The activities alleged in the Employee Benefits Complaint, with certain exceptions, track the allegations of customer allocation through steering and bid-rigging made in the Commercial Complaint.
On August 16, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the Third Circuit) affirmed the dismissal of the Employee Benefits Complaint in its entirety, affirmed in part and vacated in part the District Court's dismissal of the Commercial Complaint, and remanded the case for further proceedings consistent with the opinion. On March 30, 2012, the District Court granted final approval of a settlement between AIG and certain other defendants on the one hand, and class plaintiffs on the other, which settled the claims asserted against those defendants in the Commercial Complaint. If that settlement becomes final, AIG will pay approximately $7 million of a total aggregate settlement amount of approximately $37 million. On April 27, 2012, notices of appeal of the District Court order granting final approval were filed in the Third Circuit.
A number of complaints making allegations similar to those in the Multi-District Litigation have been filed against AIG and other defendants in state and federal courts around the country. The defendants have thus far been successful in having the federal actions transferred to the District of New Jersey and consolidated into the Multi-District Litigation. These additional consolidated actions are still pending in the District of New Jersey. In the consolidated action The Heritage Corp. of South Florida v. National Union Fire Ins. Co. (Heritage), an individual plaintiff alleges damages "in excess of $75,000." Because discovery has not been completed and a precise amount of damages has not been specified, AIG is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from the
57

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Heritage litigation. On October 2, 2012, AIG settled the consolidated action Henley Management Co. v. Marsh, Inc. As of November 1, 2012, the plaintiff in Avery Dennison Corp. v. Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (Avery), the remaining consolidated action has not formally specified an amount of alleged damages. AIG is therefore unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from this matter.
Finally, the AIG defendants have settled the four state court actions filed in Florida, New Jersey, Texas, and Kansas state courts, where plaintiffs had made similar allegations as those asserted in the Multi-District Litigation.
Workers' Compensation Premium Reporting. On May 24, 2007, the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI), on behalf of the participating members of the National Workers' Compensation Reinsurance Pool (the NWCRP), filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Northern District of Illinois) against AIG with respect to the underpayment by AIG of its residual market assessments for workers' compensation insurance. The complaint alleged claims for violations of RICO, breach of contract, fraud and related state law claims arising out of AIG's alleged underpayment of these assessments between 1970 and the present and sought damages purportedly in excess of $1 billion.
On April 1, 2009, Safeco Insurance Company of America (Safeco) and Ohio Casualty Insurance Company (Ohio Casualty) filed a complaint in the Northern District of Illinois, on behalf of a purported class of all NWCRP participant members, against AIG and certain of its subsidiaries with respect to the underpayment by AIG of its residual market assessments for workers' compensation insurance. The complaint was styled as an "alternative complaint," should the Court grant AIG's motion to dismiss the NCCI lawsuit for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, which motion to dismiss was ultimately granted on August 23, 2009. The allegations in the class action complaint are substantially similar to those filed by the NWCRP.
On February 28, 2012, the Court entered a final order and judgment approving a class action settlement between AIG and a group of intervening plaintiffs, made up of seven participating members of the NWCRP, which would require AIG to pay $450 million to satisfy all liabilities to the class members arising out of the workers' compensation premium reporting issues, a portion of which would be funded out of the remaining amount held in the Workers' Compensation Fund. Liberty Mutual filed papers in opposition to approval of the proposed settlement and in opposition to certification of a settlement class, in which it alleged AIG's actual exposure, should the class action continue through judgment, to be in excess of $3 billion. AIG disputes this allegation. Liberty Mutual, Safeco and Ohio Casualty subsequently appealed the Court's final order and judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and that appeal is still pending.
The $450 million settlement amount, which is currently held in escrow pending final resolution of the class-action settlement, was funded in part from the approximately $191 million remaining in the Workers' Compensation Fund. In the event that the proposed class action settlement is not approved, the litigation will resume. As of September 30, 2012, AIG has an accrued liability equal to the amounts payable under the settlement.
Litigation Matters Relating to AIG's Insurance Operations
Caremark. AIG and certain of its subsidiaries have been named defendants in two putative class actions in state court in Alabama that arise out of the 1999 settlement of class and derivative litigation involving Caremark Rx, Inc. (Caremark). The plaintiffs in the second-filed action intervened in the first-filed action, and the second-filed action was dismissed. An excess policy issued by a subsidiary of AIG with respect to the 1999 litigation was expressly stated to be without limit of liability. In the current actions, plaintiffs allege that the judge approving the 1999 settlement was misled as to the extent of available insurance coverage and would not have approved the settlement had he known of the existence and/or unlimited nature of the excess policy. They further allege that AIG, its subsidiaries, and Caremark are liable for fraud and suppression for misrepresenting and/or concealing the nature and extent of coverage. In addition, the intervenors originally alleged that various lawyers and law firms who represented parties in the underlying class and derivative litigation (the Lawyer Defendants) were also liable for fraud and suppression, misrepresentation, and breach of fiduciary duty.
58
American International Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
The complaints filed by the plaintiffs and the intervenors request compensatory damages for the 1999 class in the amount of $3.2 billion, plus punitive damages. AIG and its subsidiaries deny the allegations of fraud and suppression, assert that information concerning the excess policy was publicly disclosed months prior to the approval of the settlement, that the claims are barred by the statute of limitations, and that the statute cannot be tolled in light of the public disclosure of the excess coverage. The plaintiffs and intervenors, in turn, have asserted that the disclosure was insufficient to inform them of the nature of the coverage and did not start the running of the statute of limitations.
On August 15, 2012, the trial court entered an order granting plaintiffs' motion for class certification. AIG and the other defendants have appealed that order to the Alabama Supreme Court, and the case in the trial court will be stayed until that appeal is resolved. General discovery has not commenced and AIG is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from the litigation.
Regulatory Matters
AIG's life insurance companies have received industry-wide regulatory inquiries, including a multi-state audit and market conduct examination covering compliance with unclaimed property laws and a directive from the New York Insurance Department regarding claims settlement practices and other related state regulatory inquiries. AIG recorded an increase of $55 million in policyholders benefit reserves in the third quarter of 2012 in conjunction with the resolution of the multi-state examinations relating to the handling of unclaimed property and the use of the Social Security Death Master File (SSDMF) to identify potential claims not yet presented to AIG in the normal course of business. In addition, AIG paid an $11 million regulatory assessment to the various state insurance departments that are parties to the regulatory settlement to defray costs of their examinations and monitoring. Although AIG has enhanced its claims practices to include use of the SSDMF, it is possible that the settlement remediation requirements and/or remaining inquiries and other regulatory activity could result in the payment of additional death claims and additional escheatment of funds deemed abandoned under state laws. AIG believes it has adequately reserved for such claims, but there can be no assurance that the ultimate cost will not vary, perhaps materially, from its estimate. Additionally, state regulators are considering a variety of proposals that would require life insurance companies to take additional steps to identify unreported deceased policy holders.
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners Market Analysis Working Group, led by the states of Ohio and Iowa, is conducting a multi-state examination of certain accident and health products, including travel products, issued by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa. (National Union). The examination formally commenced in September 2010 after National Union, based on the identification of certain regulatory issues related to the conduct of its accident and health insurance business, including rate and form issues, producer licensing and appointment, and vendor management, requested that state regulators collectively conduct an examination of the regulatory issues in its accident and health business. In addition to Ohio and Iowa, the lead states in the multi-state examination are Minnesota, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and currently a total of 39 states have agreed to participate in the multi-state examination. As part of the multi-state examination, the following Interim Consent Orders were entered into with Ohio: (a) on January 7, 2011, in which National Union agreed, on a nationwide basis, to cease marketing directly to individual bank customers accident/sickness policy forms that had been approved to be sold only as policies providing blanket coverage, and to certain related remediation and audit procedures and (b) on February 14, 2012, in which National Union agreed, on a nationwide basis, to limit outbound telemarketing to certain forms and rates. A Consent Order was entered into with Minnesota on February 10, 2012, in which National Union and Travel Guard Group Inc., an AIG subsidiary, agreed to (i) cease automatically enrolling Minnesota residents in certain insurance relating to air travel, (ii) pay a civil penalty to Minnesota of $250,000 and (iii) refund premium to Minnesota residents who were automatically enrolled in certain insurance relating to air travel. In early 2012, Chartis Inc., on behalf of itself, National Union, and certain of Chartis Inc.'s insurance and non-insurance companies (collectively, the Chartis parties) and the lead regulators agreed upon certain terms to resolve the multi-state examination. The terms include (i) payment of a civil penalty of up to $51 million, (ii) agreement to enter into a corrective action plan describing agreed-upon specific steps and standards for evaluating the Chartis parties' ongoing compliance with laws and regulations governing the regulatory issues identified in the examination, and (iii) agreement to pay a contingent fine in the event that the Chartis parties fail to substantially comply with the steps
59

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
and standards agreed to in the corrective action plan. As of September 30, 2012, AIG has an accrued liability equal to the amount of the civil penalty under the proposed agreement. As the terms outlined above remain subject to agreement by the participating states and appropriate agreements or orders, AIG (i) can give no assurance that these terms will not change prior to a final resolution of the multi-state examination that is binding on all parties and (ii) cannot predict what other regulatory action, if any, will result from resolving the multi-state examination. There can be no assurance that any regulatory action resulting from the issues identified will not have a material adverse effect on AIG's consolidated results of operations for an individual reporting period, the ongoing operations of the business being examined, or on similar business written by other AIG carriers. National Union and other AIG companies are also currently subject to civil litigation relating to the conduct of their accident and health business, and may be subject to additional litigation relating to the conduct of such business from time to time in the ordinary course.
Industry-wide examinations conducted by the Minnesota Department of Insurance and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on captive reinsurance practices by lenders and mortgage insurance companies, including UGC, have been ongoing for several years. Recently, the newly formed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB") assumed responsibility for violations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act from HUD, and assumed HUD's aforementioned ongoing investigation. In June 2012, the CFPB issued a Civil Investigative Demand ("CID") to UGC and other mortgage insurance companies, requesting the production of documents and answers to written questions. The CFPB has agreed to toll the deadlines associated with the CID pending discussions that could resolve the investigation. UGC has received a proposed consent order from the Minnesota Commissioner of Commerce (the MN Commissioner) which alleges that UGC violated the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other state and federal laws in connection with its practices with captive reinsurance companies owned by lenders. UGC is currently engaged in discussions with the MN Commissioner with respect to the terms of the proposed consent order. UGC cannot predict if or when a consent order may be entered into or, if entered into, what the terms of the final consent order will be. UGC is also currently subject to civil litigation relating to its placement of reinsurance with captives owned by lenders, and may be subject to additional litigation relating to the conduct of such business from time to time in the ordinary course.
Other Contingencies
Liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense
Although AIG regularly reviews the adequacy of the established Liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expense, there can be no assurance that AIG's loss reserves will not develop adversely and have a material adverse effect on its results of operations. Estimation of ultimate net losses, loss expenses and loss reserves is a complex process for long-tail casualty lines of business, which include general liability, commercial automobile liability, workers' compensation, excess casualty and crisis management coverages, insurance and risk management programs for large corporate customers and other customized structured insurance products, as well as excess and umbrella liability, directors and officers and products liability. Generally, actual historical loss development factors are used to project future loss development. However, there can be no assurance that future loss development patterns will be the same as in the past. Moreover, any deviation in loss cost trends or in loss development factors might not be discernible for an extended period of time subsequent to the recording of the initial loss reserve estimates for any accident year. There is the potential for reserves with respect to a number of years to be significantly affected by changes in loss cost trends or loss development factors that were relied upon in setting the reserves. These changes in loss cost trends or loss development factors could be attributable to changes in economic conditions in the United States and abroad, changes in the legal, regulatory, judicial and social environment, changes in medical cost trends (inflation, intensity and utilization of medical services), underlying policy pricing, terms and conditions, and claims handling practices.

Commitments
Flight Equipment
At September 30, 2012, ILFC had committed to purchase 233 new aircraft with aggregate estimated total remaining payments of approximately $17.7 billion, including seven aircraft through sale-leaseback transactions with airlines deliverable from 2012 through 2019. ILFC had also committed to purchase seven used aircraft and nine new spare engines. ILFC also has the right to purchase an additional 50 Airbus A320neo family narrowbody aircraft. ILFC will be required to find lessees for any aircraft acquired and to arrange financing for a substantial portion of the purchase price.
Other Commitments
In the normal course of business, AIG enters into commitments to invest in limited partnerships, private equities, hedge funds and mutual funds and to purchase and develop real estate in the U.S. and abroad. These commitments totaled $2.4 billion at September 30, 2012.
Guarantees
Subsidiaries
AIG has issued unconditional guarantees with respect to the prompt payment, when due, of all present and future payment obligations and liabilities of AIGFP arising from transactions entered into by AIGFP. AIG has issued unconditional guarantees with respect to the prompt payment, when due, of all present and future payment obligations and liabilities of AIG Markets arising from transactions entered into by AIG Markets.
In connection with AIGFP's business activities, AIGFP has issued, in a limited number of transactions, standby letters of credit or similar facilities to equity investors in an amount equal to the termination value owing to the equity investor by the lessee in the event of a lessee default (the equity termination value). The total amount outstanding at September 30, 2012 was $322 million. In those transactions, AIGFP has agreed to pay such amount if the lessee fails to pay. The amount payable by AIGFP is, in certain cases, partially offset by amounts payable under other instruments typically equal to the present value of scheduled payments to be made by AIGFP. In the event that AIGFP is required to make a payment to the equity investor, the lessee is unconditionally obligated to reimburse AIGFP. To the extent that the equity investor is paid the equity termination value from the standby letter of credit and/or other sources, including payments by the lessee, AIGFP takes an assignment of the equity investor's rights under the lease of the underlying property. Because the obligations of the lessee under the lease transactions are generally economically defeased, lessee bankruptcy is the most likely circumstance in which AIGFP would be required to pay.
Asset Dispositions
General
AIG is subject to financial guarantees and indemnity arrangements in connection with the completed sales of businesses pursuant to its asset disposition plan. The various arrangements may be triggered by, among other things, declines in asset values, the occurrence of specified business contingencies, the realization of contingent liabilities, developments in litigation or breaches of representations, warranties or covenants provided by AIG. These arrangements are typically subject to various time limitations, defined by the contract or by operation of law, such as statutes of limitation. In some cases, the maximum potential obligation is subject to contractual limitations, while in other cases such limitations are not specified or are not applicable.
61
American International Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
AIG is unable to develop a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential payout under certain of these arrangements. Overall, AIG believes that it is unlikely it will have to make any material payments related to completed sales under these arrangements, and no material liabilities related to these arrangements have been recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 15 herein for additional information on sales of businesses and asset dispositions.
ALICO Sale
Pursuant to the terms of the American Life insurance Company (ALICO) stock purchase agreement, AIG has agreed to provide MetLife, Inc. (MetLife) with certain indemnities. The most significant remaining indemnities include:
In connection with the indemnity obligations described above, as of September 30, 2012, approximately $600 million of proceeds from the sale of ALICO were on deposit in an escrow arrangement. Pursuant to a letter agreement between MetLife and AIG entered into on July 13, 2012, $950 million was released to AIG on August 31, 2012 instead of November 1, 2012 as originally provided under the ALICO stock purchase agreement. The amount required to be held in escrow declines to zero in May 2013, although indemnification claims then pending will reduce the amount that can be released to AIG.
AIG Star and AIG Edison Sale
Pursuant to the terms of the AIG Star and AIG Edison stock purchase agreement, AIG has agreed to provide Prudential Financial, Inc. with certain indemnities, the most significant of which is indemnification related to breaches of general representations and warranties that exceed 4.1 billion yen ($52.6 million at the September 30, 2012 exchange rate), with a maximum payout of 102 billion yen ($1.3 billion at the September 30, 2012 exchange rate). Except for certain specified representations and warranties that may have a longer survival period, the indemnification extends until November 1, 2012.

Potential future repurchases by AIG of its shares will depend in part on the regulatory framework that will ultimately be applicable to AIG. This framework will depend on, among other things, AIG's status as a savings and loan holding company under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) and whether AIG is determined to be a systemically important financial institution (SIFI).
Dividends
Payment of future dividends to AIG shareholders depends in part on the regulatory framework that will ultimately be applicable to AIG, including AIG's status as a savings and loan holding company under Dodd-Frank and whether AIG is determined to be a SIFI. In addition, dividends will be payable on AIG's Common Stock only when, as and if declared by the Board in its discretion, from funds legally available therefor. In considering whether to pay a dividend or repurchase shares of AIG Common Stock, the Board will take into account such matters as AIG's financial position, the performance of its businesses, its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and liquidity, available capital, the existence of investment opportunities, contractual, legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by subsidiaries to AIG, rating agency considerations, including the potential effect on AIG's debt ratings, and such other factors as AIG's Board may deem relevant. AIG has not paid any cash dividends in 2011 or 2012.

During the first quarter of 2012, the remaining liquidation preference of the AIA SPV Preferred Interests held by the Department of the Treasury was paid down in full. The transactions described below provided the majority of the funds used to pay down the remaining liquidation preference.
On March 7, 2012, AIG entered into an agreement with the Department of the Treasury to amend various agreements (the Amendment), which enabled the AIA SPV to retain and distribute to AIG the net proceeds in excess of $5.6 billion received by the AIA SPV from the sale of AIA ordinary shares in March 2012.
In addition, the liens created by the agreements on (i) the equity interests in ILFC, (ii) the ordinary shares of AIA held by the AIA SPV subsequent to the closing of the sale of AIA ordinary shares in March 2012 and (iii) the common equity interests in the AIA SPV were released and such interests and AIA ordinary shares no longer constituted collateral securing the repayment of the liquidation preference of the AIA SPV Preferred Interests. The Amendment also required the AIA SPV and AM Holdings LLC (the ALICO SPV) to redeem their preferred participating return rights held in such SPVs by the Department of the Treasury before the release of the collateral. AIG contributed a portion of the net proceeds received by AIG in respect of its interest in Maiden Lane II LLC (ML II) to redeem these residual rights.
On March 21, 2012, AIG entered into an agreement with the Department of the Treasury, pursuant to which the AIA SPV paid down in full the remaining liquidation preference of the AIA SPV Preferred Interests. As a result of the payment, the remaining liens on AIG assets supporting the paydown of these interests were released.

12. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE (EPS)
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted to reflect all stock dividends and stock splits. Diluted EPS is based on those shares used in basic EPS plus shares that would have been outstanding assuming issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding, adjusted to reflect all stock dividends and stock splits.
Basic EPS was not affected by outstanding stock purchase contracts. Diluted EPS was not affected by outstanding stock purchase contracts because they were not dilutive.

* Dilutive shares are calculated using the treasury stock method and include dilutive shares from share-based employee compensation plans, the warrants issued to the Department of the Treasury in 2009 and the warrants issued to common shareholders (other than the Department of the Treasury) in January 2011. The number of shares and warrants excluded from diluted shares outstanding were 78 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, and 79 million and 75 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, because the effect of including those shares and warrants in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive. Included in the anti-dilutive total were 75 million shares for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 75 million and 70 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, representing the weighted average number of warrants to purchase AIG Common Stock that were issued to common shareholders.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, AIG contributed $76 million to its U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans and estimates it will contribute an additional $15 million for the remainder of 2012. These estimates are subject to change since contribution decisions are affected by various factors, including AIG's liquidity, market performance and management discretion.
Interim Tax Calculation Method
AIG uses the estimated annual effective tax rate method in computing its interim tax provision. Certain items, including those deemed to be unusual, infrequent or that cannot be reliably estimated, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. In these cases, the actual tax expense or benefit applicable to those items is treated discretely, and is reported in the same period as the related item. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, the tax effects of the gains on ML II and certain dispositions, including a portion of the ordinary shares of AIA and common units of The Blackstone Group L.P., as well as certain actual gains on AIG Life and Retirement's available-for-sale securities, were treated as discrete items. Those changes in the valuation allowance, which were reflected in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, were also treated as discrete items.
Interim Tax Expense (Benefit)
For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, the effective tax rates on pretax income from continuing operations were 28.3 and 14.4 percent, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, attributable to continuing operations differ from the statutory tax rate of 35 percent primarily due to tax effects associated with tax exempt interest income and investments in partnerships, adjustments to the tax bases of certain foreign aircraft leases, and a decrease in the life-insurance-business capital loss carryforward valuation allowance. These items were partially offset by changes in uncertain tax positions.
71
American International Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, the effective tax rates on pretax loss from continuing operations were 15.6 and 31.3 percent, respectively. The tax benefit was primarily due to a decrease in the valuation allowance attributable to the anticipated inclusion of the ALICO SPV within the U.S. consolidated income tax group, tax effects associated with tax exempt interest income, investments in partnerships, and effective settlements of certain uncertain tax positions, partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance attributable to continuing operations.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, the entire increase in the U.S. consolidated income tax group valuation allowance was allocated to continuing operations. The amount allocated to continuing operations was net of the decrease to the valuation allowance attributable to the anticipated inclusion of the ALICO SPV within the U.S. consolidated income tax group.
Assessment of Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowances
The evaluation of the recoverability of AIG's deferred tax asset and the need for a valuation allowance requires AIG to weigh all positive and negative evidence to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The more negative evidence that exists, the more positive evidence is necessary and the more difficult it is to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed.
AIG's framework for assessing the recoverability of the deferred tax assets requires AIG to consider all available evidence, including:
As a result of sales in the ordinary course of business to manage the investment portfolio and the application of prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, AIG determined that an additional portion of the life insurance business capital loss carryforwards will more-likely-than-not be realized prior to their expiration.
As a result, AIG released an additional $177 million of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance associated with the life insurance business capital loss carryforwards during the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, all of which was allocated to income from continuing operations. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, AIG released $1.7 billion of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance associated with the life insurance business capital loss carryforwards, of which $1.6 billion was allocated to income from continuing operations. Additional life insurance business capital loss carryforwards may be realized in the future if and when other prudent and feasible tax planning strategies are identified. Changes in market conditions, including rising interest rates above AIG's projections, may result in a reduction in projected taxable gains and reestablishment of a valuation allowance.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, AIG's unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were $4.4 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively. The increase in AIG's unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, was primarily due to adjustments to tax bases of certain foreign aircraft leases and foreign tax credits associated with cross border financing transactions. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, AIG's
72
American International Group, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
unrecognized tax benefits included $0.2 billion and $0.7 billion, respectively, related to tax positions that if recognized would not affect the effective tax rate because they relate to the timing, rather than the permissibility, of the deduction. Accordingly, at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate were $4.2 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively.
Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, AIG accrued $929 million and $744 million, respectively, for the payment of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, AIG recognized $185 million and $(58) million, respectively, of income tax expense (benefit) for interest net of the federal benefit (expense) and penalties.
Although it is reasonably possible that a change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months, at this time it is not possible to estimate the range of the change due to the uncertainty of the potential outcomes.
The results of operations for the following sales are presented as discontinued operations through the date of disposition in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011:

ITEM 2 / MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other publicly available documents may include, and officers and representatives of American International Group, Inc. (AIG) may from time to time make, projections, goals, assumptions and statements that may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These projections, goals, assumptions and statements are not historical facts but instead represent only AIG's belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside AIG's control. These projections, goals, assumptions and statements include statements preceded by, followed by or including words such as "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "view," "target" or "estimate." These projections, goals, assumptions and statements may address, among other things:
It is possible that AIG's actual results and financial condition will differ, possibly materially, from the results and financial condition indicated in these projections, goals, assumptions and statements. Factors that could cause AIG's actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those in the specific projections, goals, assumptions and statements include:
81
AIG is not under any obligation (and expressly disclaims any obligation) to update or alter any projections, goals, assumptions or other statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms AIG, the Company, we, us, and our mean AIG and its consolidated subsidiaries.
AIG has incorporated into this discussion a number of cross-references to additional information included throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to assist readers seeking additional information related to a particular subject.
82
Throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, AIG presents its operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful to its financial statement readers, as well as the most transparent. Some of the measurements used by AIG management are "non-GAAP financial measures" under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies.
Management believes that the measures described below allow for a better assessment and enhanced understanding of the underlying performance and trends of AIG and its business segments. Management believes they also allow for more meaningful comparisons with AIG's insurance competitors. Reconciliations of these measures to pre-tax income or unadjusted ratios, the most directly comparable measurements derived from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), are provided when such measures are disclosed.
Results from discontinued operations are excluded from all of these measures.
This executive overview highlights selected information and may not contain all of the information that is important to current or potential investors in AIG's securities. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in its entirety, together with the 2011 Annual Report, for a complete description of events, trends and uncertainties as well as the capital, liquidity, credit, operational and market risks, and the critical accounting estimates affecting AIG and its subsidiaries.
Commencing in the third quarter of 2012, the Chartis segment was renamed AIG Property Casualty and the SunAmerica segment was renamed AIG Life and Retirement, although certain existing brands will continue to be used.
83
AIG reports its results of operations as follows:
Prior Period Revisions
Prior period amounts have been revised to reflect the following:
Accounting for Deferred Acquisition Costs
As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, AIG retrospectively adopted an accounting standard on January 1, 2012 that amended the accounting for costs incurred by insurance companies that can be capitalized in connection with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts.
The impact to AIG shareholders' equity and Net income (loss) attributable to AIG previously reported in 2011 is summarized below:

Changes in Fair Value of Derivatives
To align the presentation of changes in the fair value of derivatives with changes in the administration of AIG's derivatives portfolio, changes were made to the presentation within the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Specifically, amounts attributable to derivative activity where AIGFP is an intermediary for AIG subsidiaries have been reclassified from Other income to Net realized capital gains (losses). Prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
AIG Property Casualty Segment Changes
To align financial reporting with changes made during 2012 to the manner in which AIG's chief operating decision makers review the businesses to assess performance and make decisions about resources to be allocated, certain products previously reported in Commercial Insurance were reclassified to Consumer Insurance. These revisions did not affect the total AIG Property Casualty reportable segment results previously reported.
Financial Overview
Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $2.6 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to a loss of $4.3 billion in the same period of 2011. These results reflected the following:
Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $8.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to a loss of $3.8 billion for the same period in 2011. These results reflected the following:
Pre-tax income from insurance operations reflected AIG Property Casualty's continued benefit from growth in higher value lines and geographies and improving pricing trends. AIG Property Casualty is benefiting from higher interest
85
income on fixed maturity securities driven by the redeployment of excess cash and short-term investments into longer term investments, and its investments in higher yielding securities.
AIG Life and Retirement is benefiting from its broad portfolio of innovative products and diverse and strong distribution relationships. Results for AIG Life and Retirement in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 also benefited, in comparison, from the reinvestment of cash in 2011 and an increase in base yields. Partially offsetting AIG Life and Retirement's improvements were lower income from hedge funds and private equity investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In March 2012, AIG paid down in full the $8.6 billion remaining preferred interests in the AIA special purpose vehicle (the AIA SPV, and such interests, the AIA SPV Preferred Interests) held by the Department of the Treasury.
In addition, in the first nine months of 2012 the Department of the Treasury, as selling shareholder, completed four registered public offerings of AIG common stock, par value $2.50 per share (AIG Common Stock) in March, May, August and September (collectively, the 2012 Offerings).
The Department of the Treasury sold approximately 1.22 billion shares of AIG Common Stock for aggregate proceeds of approximately $38.2 billion in the 2012 Offerings. AIG purchased approximately 421 million shares of AIG Common Stock at an average price of $30.86 per share for an aggregate purchase amount of approximately $13 billion in the 2012 Offerings. As a result of the Department of the Treasury's sale of AIG Common Stock and AIG's purchase of shares in the 2012 Offerings, ownership of AIG Common Stock by the Department of the Treasury was reduced from approximately 92 percent prior to the completion of the first registered public offering with the Department of the Treasury as selling shareholder in May 2011 to approximately 15.9 percent after the completion of the fourth 2012 offering in September 2012.
AIG expects that the Department of the Treasury will seek to further reduce its ownership interest in AIG over time through additional secondary offerings or open market sales. Depending upon market conditions, regulatory limitations, available capital resources and liquidity, and any repurchase authorization then available, AIG may determine to participate as a purchaser in such secondary offerings.
See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries herein for further discussion and other liquidity and capital resources developments.
OUTLOOK
Hurricane Sandy
On October 29, 2012, Hurricane Sandy made landfall in the United States. Because of the limited information available, AIG is currently unable to estimate the amount of its losses from the hurricane.
Priorities for 2012 and Beyond
AIG remains committed to its long-term aspirational goals and is focused on the following priorities for 2012 and beyond:
86
AIG Property Casualty
AIG Property Casualty expects that the current low interest rate environment and ongoing uncertainty in global economic conditions will continue to negatively impact net investment income and limit growth in some markets through at least the next 12 months. However, improving trends in certain key indicators may offset the effect of some of these challenges. Beginning in the second quarter of 2011 and continuing since, AIG Property Casualty has observed positive pricing trends, particularly in its U.S. commercial business. AIG Property Casualty expects that expansion in certain growth economies will trend higher than in developed countries, although at reduced levels from those previously expected due to revised economic assumptions for some of these countries.
Strategy
AIG Property Casualty continues to make progress with its strategy to grow higher value and less capital-intensive lines of business, and to implement corrective actions on underperforming businesses. Management reviews each of the businesses to evaluate their contribution to overall performance objectives.
AIG Property Casualty seeks to provide value for people and businesses worldwide through the identification and efficient management of risk. In pursuing this mission and growing its intrinsic value, AIG Property Casualty has established strategic initiatives in several key areas. Initiatives in these areas are helping AIG Property Casualty direct its capital and resources to optimize financial results, while acknowledging that performance in these areas may vary from quarter to quarter depending on local market conditions, such as pricing and the effects of foreign exchange rates or changes in global capital market trends.
87
Capital Deployment
AIG Property Casualty expects to continue to execute capital management initiatives by enhancing broad-based risk tolerance guidelines for its operating units, executing underwriting strategies, enhancing its global reinsurance strategy to improve capital ratios, increasing return on equity by line of business and reducing exposure to businesses with inadequate pricing and increased loss trends.
AIG Property Casualty continues to streamline its legal entity structure, to enhance transparency with regulators and optimize capital and tax efficiency. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, AIG Property Casualty has completed 30 legal entity and branch restructuring transactions. In preparation for Solvency II compliance, a number of European branch conversions have been completed, including the merger of Chartis Ireland into Chartis Europe Limited on December 1, 2011. During the third quarter of 2012, AIG Property Casualty's capital management initiatives enabled certain European subsidiaries to return $325 million of capital to be used for general corporate purposes. As a result of its legal entity simplification efforts, the majority of AIG Property Casualty's European operations will be conducted through a single pan-European insurance carrier by the end of 2012, subject to regulatory approval.
Investments
AIG Property Casualty expects to continue to refine its investment strategy, which includes asset diversification and yield-enhancement opportunities that meet AIG Property Casualty's liquidity, duration and credit quality objectives as well as current risk-return and tax objectives.
See Segment Results AIG Property Casualty Operations AIG Property Casualty Results - AIG Property Casualty Investing and Other Results and Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
AIG Life and Retirement
AIG Life and Retirement continues to pursue its goals of (i) expanding the breadth and depth of its distribution relationships, (ii) introducing innovative new products and product enhancements, (iii) disciplined life insurance underwriting and matching of asset and liability durations, (iv) maintaining a high quality investment portfolio and strong statutory surplus, (v) proactively managing expenses and, (vi) subject to regulatory approval, continuing to make distributions to AIG Parent. AIG Life and Retirement expects to continue to make progress on all of these efforts for the remainder of 2012 and throughout 2013.
Business Environment
88
of future investment returns result in projected future losses. Long term care products may also require additional reserve if future expected premium increases are not sufficient to cover future benefit cost increases not provided for in the current reserves. For these long duration traditional products, the assumptions used to calculate benefit liabilities and DAC are "locked in" at policy issuance. These assumptions are based on management's estimates of mortality, morbidity, persistency, maintenance expenses and investment returns. If observed changes in actual experience or estimates result in projected future losses under loss recognition testing, DAC is adjusted and additional policyholder benefit liabilities may be recorded through a charge to policyholder benefit expense.
Organizational Realignment
On April 12, 2012, AIG Life and Retirement announced several key organizational structure and management changes intended to better serve the organization's distribution partners and customers. Key aspects of the new structure are distinct product divisions, shared annuity and life operations platforms and a unified all-channel distribution organization with access to all AIG Life and Retirement products. Beginning in 2013, AIG Life and
89
Retirement expects to modify its presentation of results when organizational changes are implemented and all prior periods' presentations will be conformed.
AIG Life and Retirement intends to continue its efforts to consolidate its regulated insurance companies to implement a more efficient legal entity structure, while continuing to market products and services under existing brands. At the conclusion of this legal entity consolidation initiative, AIG Life and Retirement expects to reduce the number of its operating life insurance legal entities to three. Subject to receiving all necessary regulatory approvals, these legal entity mergers are targeted to be effective as of December 31, 2012.
Variable Annuities
AIG Life and Retirement variable annuity sales increased due to access to broad distribution, including the addition of several new distributors and AIG Life and Retirement's reinstatement by its largest pre-financial crisis distribution partner, as well as its innovative product offerings. In addition, several competitors have scaled back or ceased selling variable annuity products in 2012. As a result of a broad distribution network and a more favorable competitive environment, AIG Life and Retirement expects variable annuity sales to remain strong for the remainder of 2012 and into 2013.
AIG Life and Retirement has a dynamic hedging program designed to manage economic risk exposure associated with changes in the fair value of embedded derivative liabilities contained in certain variable annuity contracts, caused by changes in the equity markets, interest rates and market implied volatilities. AIG Life and Retirement substantially hedges its exposure to equity markets. However, due to regulatory capital considerations, a portion of AIG Life and Retirement's interest rate exposure is unhedged. In 2012, AIG Life and Retirement began purchasing U.S. Treasury bonds as a capital-efficient strategy to reduce its interest rate risk exposure over time. In addition, AIG Life and Retirement launched a new product offering with a volatility-controlled fund, which further reduces AIG Life and Retirement's risk related to market volatility while offering a competitive benefit. The volatility-controlled fund seeks capital appreciation and current income while managing net equity exposure by investing a portion of AIG Life and Retirement's assets using a strategy designed to reduce the effects of equity market volatility.
Fixed Annuities
Changes in the interest rate environment affect the relative attractiveness of fixed annuities compared to alternative products. As a result of the current low interest rate environment, fixed annuity sales in the first nine months of 2012 were significantly below 2011 levels. If the low interest rate environment continues, AIG Life and Retirement expects its fixed annuities sales (including deposits into fixed options within variable annuities sold in group retirement markets) to remain weak for the remainder of 2012 and into 2013.
Life Insurance
AIG Life and Retirement's strategic focus for mortality-based products includes disciplined underwriting, active expense management and product innovation. AIG Life and Retirement's distribution strategy is to grow new sales by strengthening the core retail independent and career agent distributor channels and expanding its market presence with competitively priced products offering superior consumer value and differentiated features. In addition, AIG Life and Retirement is enhancing its service and technology platform through the consolidation of its life operations and administrative systems, which is expected to result in an improved service delivery model and a more efficient operating platform. In connection with this project, AIG Life and Retirement recorded a charge of $20 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Interest Crediting Rates
The contractual provisions for renewal of crediting rates and guaranteed minimum crediting rates included in AIG Life and Retirement products may have the effect, in a continued low interest rate environment, of reducing AIG Life and Retirement's spreads and thus reducing future profitability. Although AIG Life and Retirement partially mitigates this interest rate risk through its asset-liability management process, product design elements and crediting rate strategies, a prolonged low interest rate environment may negatively affect future profitability.
90
As of September 30, 2012, the majority of assets backing insurance liabilities consisted of intermediate- and long-term fixed maturity securities. AIG Life and Retirement generally purchases assets with the intent of matching expected maturities of the insurance liabilities. An extended low interest rate environment may result in a lengthening of liability maturities from initial estimates, primarily due to lower lapses. Opportunistic investments in structured securities continue to be made in order to improve yields, increase net investment income and help to offset the impact of the lower interest rate environment.
AIG Life and Retirement's annuity and universal life products were designed with contractual provisions that allow crediting rates to be reset at pre-established intervals subject to minimum crediting rate guarantees. AIG Life and Retirement has adjusted, and will continue to adjust, crediting rates in order to maintain targeted interest rate spreads on both new business and in-force business where crediting rates are above minimum guarantees.
New fixed annuity sales have declined in the first nine months of 2012 relative to the same period in 2011, due to the relatively low crediting rates offered. However, even in the current interest rate environment, AIG Life and Retirement continues to pursue new sales of life and annuity products at targeted interest rate spreads. The annuity products generally have minimum interest rate guarantees of 1 percent. Universal life insurance interest rate guarantees are generally 2 to 3 percent on new non-indexed products and 1 percent on new indexed products, and are designed to be sufficient to meet targeted interest spreads.
As a result of these actions, AIG Life and Retirement estimates that the effect of interest rates remaining at or near current levels through the end of 2013 on pre-tax operating income would not be material, and would be modestly more significant with respect to 2014 results.
As indicated in the table below, approximately 61 percent of AIG Life and Retirement's annuity and universal life account values are at their minimum crediting rates as of September 30, 2012, an increase from 45 percent at December 31, 2011. These products have minimum guaranteed interest rates as of September 30, 2012 ranging from 1.0 percent to 5.5 percent, with the higher rates representing guarantees on older products.
In addition to the products discussed above, certain traditional long-duration products for which AIG Life and Retirement does not have the ability to adjust interest rates, such as payout annuities, are exposed to reduced earnings and potential losses in a prolonged low interest rate environment.
The following table presents account values by range of current minimum guaranteed interest rates and current crediting rates for AIG Life and Retirement's universal life and deferred fixed annuity products and fixed account options of variable annuity products:

Aircraft Leasing
On September 2, 2011, ILFC Holdings, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AIG, which is intended to become a holding company for ILFC, filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC for a proposed initial public offering. The number of shares to be offered, price range and timing for any offering have not been determined. The timing of any offering will depend on market conditions and no assurance can be given regarding the terms of any offering or that an offering will be completed.
Challenges in the global economy, including the European sovereign debt crisis, political uncertainty in the Middle East, and sustained higher fuel prices, have negatively impacted many airlines' profitability, cash flows and liquidity, and increased the probability that some airlines, including ILFC customers, will cease operations or file for bankruptcy. During the first nine months of 2012, ILFC has had nine lessees cease operations or file for bankruptcy (or its equivalent) and these lessees returned 54 aircraft to ILFC. As of October 24, 2012, 37 aircraft have been committed to new leases, 11 have been or are intended for part-out, two have been sold and four remain to be re-leased.
Most of ILFC's lessees, like much of the international airline industry, are not publicly rated and are rated internally non-investment grade by AIG. Future events, including a prolonged recession, ongoing uncertainty regarding the European sovereign debt crisis, political unrest, continued weak consumer demand, high fuel prices, or restricted availability of credit to the aviation industry could lead to the weakening or cessation of operations of additional airlines, which in turn would adversely affect ILFC's earnings and cash flows. At September 30, 2012, ILFC had signed leases for all its new aircraft deliveries in 2013 and had 82 leases in its existing fleet expiring in 2013, 36 of which had not been extended with their current lessees as of October 24, 2012. If the current lessees do not extend these leases, ILFC will have to remarket these aircraft.
Other Operations
Mortgage Guaranty
The following will continue to affect results for the remainder of 2012 and throughout 2013:
92
UGC's assumptions regarding future foreclosures on current delinquencies take into consideration this trend, although significant uncertainty remains surrounding the determination of the liability for unpaid claims and claims adjustment expenses. UGC expects that this trend may continue for the remainder of 2012 and throughout 2013 and may negatively affect UGC's future financial results. Final resolution of these issues is uncertain and UGC cannot reasonably estimate the ultimate financial impact that any resolution, individually or collectively, may have on its future results of operations or financial condition. As discussed above, UGC has requested that lenders file claims on delinquent loans before foreclosure proceedings have commenced in an effort to reduce the uncertainty surrounding these issues. UGC expects to continue this practice as long as significant delays in reporting foreclosures continue.
Global Capital Markets
GCM consists of the operations of AIG Markets, Inc. (AIG Markets), which executes the overall hedging activity for AIG and its operating companies, and the remaining derivatives portfolio of AIGFP.
AIG Markets acts as the derivatives intermediary between AIG and its subsidiaries and third parties to provide hedging services. The derivative portfolio of AIG Markets consists primarily of interest rate and currency derivatives.
The remaining derivatives portfolio of AIGFP consists primarily of hedges of the assets and liabilities of the DIB and a portion of the legacy hedges for AIG and its subsidiaries. Future hedging needs for AIG and its subsidiaries will be executed through AIG Markets. AIGFP's derivative portfolio consists primarily of interest rate, currency, credit, commodity and equity derivatives. Additionally, AIGFP has a credit default swap portfolio being managed for economic benefit and limited risk. The AIGFP portfolio continues to be wound down and is managed consistent with AIG's risk management objectives. Although the portfolio may experience periodic fair value volatility, it consists predominantly of transactions that AIG believes are of low complexity, low risk or currently not economically appropriate to unwind based on a cost versus benefit analysis.
Direct Investment Book
Matched Investment Program (MIP) assets and liabilities and certain non-derivative assets and liabilities of AIGFP (collectively, the Direct Investment book or DIB) are currently managed collectively on a single program basis to limit the need for additional liquidity from AIG Parent.
The DIB portfolio is being wound down and is managed to maximize return consistent with AIG's risk management objectives. Program management is focused on managing the DIB's liquidity needs, including the need for contingent liquidity arising from collateral posting for debt positions of the DIB. As part of this program management, AIG may from time to time access the capital markets, subject to market conditions. In addition, AIG may seek to buy back debt or sell assets on an opportunistic basis, subject to market conditions. The overall hedging activity for the assets and liabilities of the DIB is executed by GCM. The value of hedges related to the non-derivative assets and liabilities of AIGFP in the DIB is included within the assets and liabilities and operating results of GCM and is not included within the DIB operating results, assets or liabilities.
As of September 30, 2012, the DIB maintains the liquidity that AIG believes is necessary to meet all of the DIB maturing liabilities, at all times, even in stress scenarios, without having to liquidate DIB assets or rely on additional liquidity from AIG Parent.
Certain non-derivative assets and liabilities of the DIB, including CDO securities purchased in the ML III auctions, are accounted for under the fair value option and thus operating results are subject to periodic market volatility. Although a portion of AIG's investment in AIA ordinary shares is allocated to the DIB, the fair value gains and losses on the AIA ordinary shares will continue to be reported in Retained Interests Changes in fair value of AIA securities.
Retained Interests
Retained Interests may continue to experience volatility due to fair value gains or losses on the AIA ordinary shares. At September 30, 2012, AIG owned approximately 14 percent of the outstanding ordinary shares of AIA. A change of one Hong Kong dollar in AIA's share price would result in an approximate $210 million change in AIG's pre-tax income.
93
In accordance with an agreement with the underwriters of the September 2012 sale of AIA ordinary shares, AIG may not sell or hedge the remaining AIA ordinary shares prior to December 10, 2012. After that time, AIG expects to monetize its investment in AIA ordinary shares from time to time depending on market conditions, AIG's liquidity position and opportunities for cash redeployment.

Significant factors affecting items for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are discussed below.
Premiums and Policy Fees
Premiums decreased in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 primarily due to declines in Commercial Insurance, resulting from enhanced risk selection and the continued execution of strategic initiatives to improve pricing and loss ratios. These declines were partially offset by increases in Consumer Insurance, resulting from the business mix shift towards higher value lines and continued investment in the direct marketing channel. Total net premiums written at AIG Property Casualty in original currency increased approximately two percent and decreased one percent during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2011.
Policy fees increased in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 due to higher variable annuity fees on separate account assets as variable account assets grew as a result of improved equity markets.

Net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was significantly higher than the same period in 2011 due to the following:
95
Net investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased significantly from the same period of 2011, primarily due to:
The increases were partially offset by declines in alternative investment income in the first half of 2012 due to relatively weaker equity market performance in 2012 compared to 2011.

AIG recognized higher net realized capital gains in the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to higher gains from sales of fixed maturity securities, due in part to a program that resulted in the utilization of capital loss tax carryforwards in the AIG Life and Retirement operations, and lower other-than-temporary impairments. These gains were partially offset by foreign exchange losses driven by a weakening U.S. dollar against most foreign currencies in the third quarter of 2012 compared to strengthening of the U.S. dollar in the same period in 2011.
AIG recognized net realized capital gains in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to net realized capital losses in the same period in 2011 due to the following:
96
These gains were partially offset by derivative losses, driven primarily by spread tightening and the U.S. dollar strengthening against foreign currencies.
Aircraft Leasing Revenues and Expenses
Aircraft leasing revenue increased slightly in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to an increase from the consolidation of AeroTurbine commencing in October 2011. This increase was partially offset by the impact of early returns of aircraft from lessees who ceased operations, lower lease revenue earned on re-leased aircraft in its fleet and the decrease in the average number of aircraft owned to 926 for the period ended September 30, 2012, compared to 934 for the period ended September 30, 2011.
ILFC recorded impairment charges, fair value adjustments, and lease-related charges of $98 million and $228 million in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The third quarter charge in 2011 was primarily attributable to changes in the holding period and residual values of certain aircraft types. See Segment Results Aircraft Leasing Operations Aircraft Leasing Results for additional information.
Other Income and Expenses
The increase in Other income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was driven by:
The slight increase in Other income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was driven by:
These improvements were partially offset by lower gains on real estate dispositions and losses on real estate equity investments.
Other expenses decreased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 due to a decrease in losses on trusts that hold leased commercial aircraft and a reduction in expense of $117 million in 2012 resulting from the decrease in the estimate of the liability for the Department of the Treasury's underwriting fees for the sale of AIG Common Stock as shares were sold at a price lower than had been estimated at the time the accrual was
97
established and AIG repurchased a significant amount of shares for which no payment to the underwriters was required.
Other expenses increased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 due to an increase in estimated litigation liability of approximately $742 million, partially offset by a decrease in losses on trusts that hold leased commercial aircraft, lower restructuring and pension expenses and a reduction in expense of $184 million in 2012 resulting from the decrease in the estimate of the liability for the Department of the Treasury's underwriting fees for the sale of AIG Common Stock as described above.
Policyholder Benefits and Claims Incurred
Policyholder benefits and claims incurred decreased in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 primarily as a result of lower catastrophe losses for AIG Property Casualty in 2012 compared to 2011, reflecting the impact of Hurricane Irene in the third quarter of 2011, the U.S. tornadoes in the second quarter of 2011 and the Tohoku Catastrophe in Japan and earthquakes in New Zealand in the first quarter of 2011.
Policyholder benefits and claims incurred also decreased for Mortgage Guaranty in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 due to declines in newly reported delinquencies and favorable loss development in 2012 compared to unfavorable loss development in 2011.
Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in policyholder benefit expenses in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 for AIG Life and Retirement due to the sale of securities in unrealized gain positions that support certain payout annuity products, and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds at generally lower yields, which triggered loss recognition. See Results of Operations Segment Results AIG Life and Retirement for additional information.
Acquisition and Insurance Expenses
Amortization of DAC was relatively unchanged in the three month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
Amortization of DAC increased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to AIG Property Casualty's continued strategy to grow the higher margin Consumer Insurance business, which carries higher acquisition costs than Commercial Insurance, and change its mix of business within Commercial Insurance and Consumer Insurance to more profitable lines with higher acquisition costs. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in the amortization of DAC in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 for AIG Life and Retirement due to positive equity market performance.
Other acquisition and insurance expenses increased in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 due to increases in compensation expense, bad debt expense, direct marketing expense and expenses related to strategic initiatives for AIG Property Casualty, as well as a result of a decrease in the benefit from the amortization of VOBA liabilities arising from the 2010 Fuji acquisition.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased slightly in the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to new debt issuances. Interest expense decreased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 primarily as a result of a net reduction in outstanding debt. Interest expense on the FRBNY Credit Facility was $72 million in 2011 through the date of termination, including amortization of the prepaid commitment fee asset of $48 million. See Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries and Liquidity and Capital Resources Debt herein for additional information.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
The decline in loss on extinguishment of debt reflects the effect of the $3.3 billion charge for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 consisting of the accelerated amortization of the remaining prepaid commitment fee asset resulting from the termination of the FRBNY Credit Facility.
98
Income Taxes
Interim Tax Calculation Method
AIG uses the estimated annual effective tax rate method in computing its interim tax provision. Certain items, including those deemed to be unusual, infrequent or that cannot be reliably estimated, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. In these cases, the actual tax expense or benefit applicable to those items is treated discretely, and is reported in the same period as the related item. For the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, the tax effects of the gains on ML II and certain dispositions, including a portion of the ordinary shares of AIA and common units of The Blackstone Group L.P., as well as certain actual gains on AIG Life and Retirement's available-for-sale securities, were treated as discrete items. Those changes in the valuation allowance which were reflected in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, were also treated as discrete items.
Interim Tax Expense (Benefit)
For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, the effective tax rates on pretax income from continuing operations were 28.3 and 14.4 percent, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, attributable to continuing operations differ from the statutory tax rate of 35 percent primarily due to tax effects associated with tax-exempt interest income and investments in partnerships, adjustments to the tax bases of certain foreign aircraft leases, and a decrease in the life-insurance business capital loss carryforward valuation allowance. These items were partially offset by changes in uncertain tax positions.
For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, the effective tax rates on pretax loss from continuing operations were 15.6 and 31.3 percent, respectively. The tax benefit was primarily due to a decrease in the valuation allowance attributable to the anticipated inclusion of the ALICO SPV within the U.S. consolidated income tax group, tax effects associated with tax exempt interest income, investments in partnerships, and effective settlements of certain uncertain tax positions, partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance attributable to continuing operations.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, the entire increase in the U.S. consolidated income tax group valuation allowance was allocated to continuing operations. The amount allocated to continuing operations was net of the decrease to the valuation allowance attributable to the anticipated inclusion of the ALICO SPV within the U.S. consolidated income tax group.
See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Discontinued Operations
Results from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 include a pre-tax gain of $3.5 billion on the sale of AIG Star Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (AIG Star) and AIG Edison Life Insurance Company (AIG Edison). See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
AIG reports the results of its operations through three reportable segments: AIG Property Casualty, AIG Life and Retirement and Aircraft Leasing. The Other operations category consists of businesses and items not allocated to AIG's reportable segments.

AIG Property Casualty Pre-tax income increased in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011, primarily reflecting lower catastrophe losses, underwriting improvements related to rate increases and enhanced risk selection, higher net investment income due to asset diversification, from concentration in tax-exempt municipal instruments into investments in private placement debt and structured securities, and yield-enhancement opportunities, partially offset by higher acquisition costs as a result of the change in business mix from Commercial Insurance to Consumer Insurance.
AIG Life and Retirement Pre-tax income increased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, primarily reflecting higher net investment income, the positive effect of more favorable equity market performance on DAC amortization and policyholder benefit reserves, improved net investment spreads, partially offset by policyholder benefit reserve increases related to the settlement of death claim enhancement procedures and a charge to increase GIC reserves.
Pre-tax income increased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, primarily reflecting the positive effect of more favorable equity market performance on DAC amortization and policyholder benefit reserves, higher net investment income due to an increase in base yields from the reinvestment of significant amounts of cash and short-term investments in 2011 and decreases in losses related to equity-method investments in trusts that hold leased commercial aircraft and improvements in base net investment spreads. These items were partially offset by lower income from private equity and hedge funds, lower call and tender income and a charge to increase GIC reserves.
Aircraft Leasing Pre-tax income increased in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 due to an approximately $1.4 billion decrease in impairment charges, fair value adjustments and lease-related charges on aircraft, and lower losses on extinguishment of debt. This decrease was partially offset by lower lease revenue and increased costs due to early returns of aircraft by lessees who ceased operations, lower lease revenue earned on re-leased aircraft in its fleet, charges relating to reserves recorded for potential exposure under aircraft asset value guarantees and an increase in depreciation expense due to the change in depreciable lives and residual values of certain aircraft.
Other Operations Pre-tax income in the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 compared to pre-tax losses in the same period in 2011 due to fair value gains in both AIG's remaining interest in AIA securities and AIG's interest in MLIII prior to the completion of the FRBNY's auctions of ML III assets. Pre-tax income in the nine month

periods ended September 30, 2012 compared to pre-tax losses in the same period in 2011 due to fair value gains in both AIG's remaining interest in AIA securities and AIG's interest in ML III partially offset by an increase in estimated litigation liability, and a loss of extinguishment of debt of $3.3 billion in 2011 in connection with the transactions to recapitalize AIG.
AIG Property Casualty Highlights
AIG Property Casualty Operations
Commencing in the third quarter of 2012, the Chartis segment was renamed AIG Property Casualty, although certain existing brands will continue to be used.
AIG Property Casualty presents its financial information in two operating segments Commercial Insurance and Consumer Insurance, as well as an Other category.
Commercial Insurance provides insurance solutions for large and small businesses. Commercial lines products are distributed through a network of independent retail and wholesale brokers, branches, and through an independent agency network in the Asia Pacific and EMEA regions. These products are categorized into four major lines of business:
101
Consumer Insurance provides personal insurance solutions for individuals, organizations and families. Consumer Insurance products are distributed through agents and brokers, as well as through direct marketing, partner organizations and the internet. Consumer Insurance products are categorized into two major lines of business:
Other consists primarily of certain run-off lines of business, including excess workers' compensation written on a stand-alone basis and asbestos and environmental (1986 and prior), certain AIG Property Casualty expenses relating to global corporate initiatives, expense allocations from AIG Parent not attributable to the Commercial Insurance or Consumer Insurance operating segments, unallocated net investment income, net realized capital gains and losses, and other income (expense).
The historical AIG Property Casualty financial information has been revised to reflect the reclassification of certain products that were previously reported in the Commercial Insurance operating segment to the Consumer Insurance operating segment. This change aligns the financial reporting with the changes made during 2012 to the manner in which AIG's chief operating decision makers review the business to assess performance and make decisions about resources to be allocated. These revisions did not impact the total AIG Property Casualty reportable segment results previously reported.
AIG Property Casualty distributes its products through three major geographic regions:

Operating income increased in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, primarily reflecting increased net investment income due to asset diversification, from concentration in tax-exempt municipal instruments into investments in private placement debt and structured securities, and yield-enhancement opportunities, lower catastrophe losses and underwriting improvements related to rate increases and enhanced risk selection, partially offset by higher acquisition costs as a result of the change in business mix from Commercial Insurance to Consumer Insurance. Other operating expenses increased due to the continued investment in strategic initiatives as well as higher personnel costs.
Commercial Insurance Quarterly and Year-to-Date Results
Operating income in the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 decreased, reflecting a decrease in allocated net investment income, primarily due to a decrease in the risk free rate, offset by an improvement in underwriting losses. Lower catastrophe losses and the effect of underwriting improvements related to rate increases and enhanced risk selection were offset by an increase in acquisition expenses as a result of a change in business mix to higher value lines with higher acquisition costs. In the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, catastrophe losses, adjusted for reinstatement premiums were $239 million compared to $452 million in the same period in 2011. The current year quarter was also impacted by severe but non-catastrophic losses overseas. Net prior year adverse development, including related premium adjustments, was $146 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to $22 million in the prior year period.
Operating income in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 increased, reflecting an improvement in underwriting losses due to lower catastrophe losses, the effect of rate increases and enhanced risk selection, and an increase in reserve discount of $100 million. These items were partially offset by higher acquisition costs and a decrease in the allocated net investment income due to a decrease in the risk free rate. In 2012, catastrophe losses, adjusted for reinstatement premiums, were $603 million compared to $2.2 billion in 2011 as the prior year included the impact of the Tohoku Catastrophe in Japan and the earthquakes in New Zealand. Acquisition costs increased primarily as a result of higher commission expense due to a decrease in loss sensitive business as AIG Property Casualty moves towards higher value lines. In 2012, net prior year adverse development, including premium adjustments, was $317 million compared to net prior year favorable development of $38 million in 2011.
See AIG Property Casualty Underwriting Ratios below for further information on prior year development.
Consumer Insurance Quarterly and Year-to-Date Results
Operating income in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 increased, reflecting an improvement in underwriting results and an increase in allocated net investment income. This is primarily due to the combination of lower catastrophe losses, the effect of rate increases, enhanced risk selection and portfolio management, partially offset by higher acquisition costs.
In the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, expenses increased primarily as a result of a change in the mix of business to higher value lines with higher acquisition costs and increased investment in direct marketing. The nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 also reflected a $60 million decrease in the benefit from the amortization of VOBA liabilities recognized at the time of the Fuji acquisition compared to the same period in 2011. Catastrophe losses for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 were $22 million and $66 million, respectively, compared to $122 million and $680 million during the same periods in the prior year. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, net prior year favorable development was $51 million compared to net prior year adverse development of $56 million in 2011.
AIG Property Casualty Net Premiums Written
Net premiums written are the sales of an insurer, adjusted for reinsurance premiums assumed and ceded, during a given period. Net premiums earned are the revenue of an insurer for covering risk during a given period. Net premiums written are a measure of performance for a sales period while net premiums earned are a measure of performance for a coverage period. From the period in which the premiums are written until the period in which they are earned, the amount is presented as unearned premiums in the consolidated balance sheet.

Commercial Insurance Net Premiums Written
In 2012, Commercial Insurance continued to concentrate on growing higher value business. The decrease in net premiums written in each period was primarily due to enhanced risk selection, particularly in the Casualty line of business, and restructuring of loss sensitive business. This is consistent with AIG Property Casualty's business strategy to improve pricing and loss ratios and to not renew business that does not meet its internal performance or operating targets. Retentions are in line with management's expectations based on the execution of these strategic initiatives.
Casualty net premiums written decreased in both periods primarily due to the continuation of AIG Property Casualty's strategic initiatives related to improved risk selection, particularly in the Americas. The continuation of the restructuring of the loss sensitive book of business in the Americas resulted in a reduction of net premiums written of $35 million and $257 million in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, Casualty recognized additional premium, primarily related to the loss-sensitive business, of $52 million, compared to $153 million for the same prior year period. Further, management continued to emphasize higher value lines, while taking corrective action in lines and accounts that do not meet internal performance targets, including U.S. workers' compensation and European primary casualty.
Property net premiums written increased in both periods due to growth in energy and engineered risk and restructuring of its reinsurance program as part of AIG Property Casualty's decision to retain more favorable risks while continuing to manage aggregate exposure. Catastrophe exposed business retained in the Americas and Asia Pacific region also benefitted from rate increases.
Specialty net premiums written for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 decreased due to the continuation of AIG Property Casualty's strategic initiatives related to improved risk selection, particularly within products provided to small and medium enterprises, in the Americas and EMEA regions, which was partially offset by the restructuring of the aerospace reinsurance program to retain more favorable risks while continuing to manage aggregate exposure. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, Specialty net premiums written were unchanged although AIG Property Casualty continues to shift its business mix towards higher value lines, particularly in aerospace.
Financial lines net premiums written for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 increased reflecting business growth in all regions. Financial lines net premiums written for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 benefited from a multi-year Errors and Omissions policy in the Americas that produced net premiums written of $148 million.
105
Consumer Insurance Net Premiums Written
The Consumer Insurance business continued to grow its net premiums written and build momentum through its multiple distribution channels and continuing focus on direct marketing. Consumer Insurance is well-diversified across the major lines of business and has global strategies that are executed across its regions to enhance customer relationships and business performance.
Consumer Insurance currently has direct marketing operations in over 50 countries, and management continued to emphasize the growth of this channel, which for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 accounted for approximately 15 percent of its overall net premiums written. Total global direct marketing spending outside the Americas region has increased by approximately 15 percent in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, from the same periods in 2011.
A&H net premiums written increased in both periods due to the growth of group personal accident business in the Americas and Asia Pacific, strong growth of new business sales in Fuji Life, direct marketing programs in Japan and other Asia Pacific nations and growth in individual personal accident in other Asia Pacific nations. This was partially offset by the continuing strategies to reposition U.S. direct marketing, as well as pricing and underwriting actions in Europe.
Personal lines net premiums written increased in both periods primarily due to the execution of AIG Property Casualty's strategic initiative to grow higher value lines of business in non-automobile products and rate increases in Japan automobile products. Growth in non-automobile net premiums written outpaced growth in automobile net premiums written, increasing its proportion to total net premiums written, due to management's focus on diversifying the global base.
Other Net Premiums Written
Substantially all premiums reported in Other relate to excess workers' compensation written on a stand-alone basis. Premium activity reflects the effects of premium audit activity on expired policies.

AIG transacts business in most major foreign currencies. The primary currencies resulting in foreign exchange fluctuations in net premiums written are the British pound, euro and Japanese yen.
The Americas net premiums written decreased in both periods, primarily due to the restructuring of the loss sensitive Casualty book of business and specialty workers' compensation, which was slightly offset by rate increases in Commercial Insurance, particularly in the U.S. These decreases were partially offset by continued growth in Consumer Insurance, which was primarily attributable to increases to group accident, personal property, Private Client Group and warranty lines. Additional premium recognized on the loss sensitive book of business was $52 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to additional premium of $153 million in the prior year period.
Asia Pacific net premiums written increased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to growth in Consumer Insurance, primarily driven by group personal accident insurance, personal lines products, direct marketing and travel business in Japan. In addition, net premiums written increased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 as a result of growth of personal property business in Japan. The expansion in Asia Pacific countries outside Japan also continued in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, supported by growth in individual personal accident insurance, direct marketing and personal lines products. Commercial Insurance increased in the region primarily due to organic growth in property and financial lines.
107
EMEA net premiums written decreased in both periods primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, the U.S. dollar strengthened against the British pound and euro compared to the same period in the prior year. Excluding foreign exchange, net premiums written increased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 mainly due to a reduction of reinsurance protection in the Property line of Commercial Insurance. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, the EMEA net premiums written decreased due to the continued execution of underwriting discipline, a reduction in primary casualty as it did not meet internal performance targets, and rate strengthening initiatives on new and renewal business for Commercial Insurance. Consumer Insurance is focused on re-building its direct marketing programs that it previously shared with American Life Insurance Company (ALICO).

Given the run-off nature of the legacy lines of business and the nature of the expenses included in Other, management has determined that the traditional underwriting measures of loss ratio, expense ratio and combined ratio do not provide an appropriate measure of underwriting performance. Therefore, these ratios are not separately presented.
Commercial Insurance Quarterly and Year-to-Date Loss Ratios
The loss ratio decreased in 2012 primarily due to a decrease in catastrophe losses incurred in both the three- and nine-month periods. The accident year loss ratio for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 also benefitted from an increase in reserve discount of $100 million. The improvement in the accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 reflects the continued execution of strategic initiatives, including enhanced risk selection, particularly in the Property business, and restructuring of loss sensitive Casualty business. Net prior year adverse development including related premium adjustments was $146 million and $317 million in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to net prior year adverse development of $22 million and net favorable development of $38 million in the respective prior year periods.
In the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, net prior year adverse development was due to the impact of claims emergence in catastrophe- and non-catastrophe-related reserves, primarily in environmental (policies written after 1987) and primary (specialty) workers' compensation business. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, net prior year adverse development was due to the impact of adverse claims emergence in non-catastrophe reserves, primarily in environmental business (policies written after 1987) and excess casualty, partially offset by additional premium of $52 million related to loss-sensitive business, and by favorable development from catastrophes of $222 million. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, net prior year adverse development was due to the impact of claims emergence in non-catastrophe reserves (primarily environmental), partially offset by additional premium of $153 million related to loss-sensitive business, and by favorable development from catastrophes of $35 million. The period over period increase in the favorable development from catastrophe-related reserves is due primarily to the unique severity of 2011 catastrophes.
See Liability for Unpaid Claims and Claims Adjustment Expense for further discussion of discounting of reserves and prior year development.
Consumer Insurance Quarterly and Year-to-Date Loss Ratios
The Consumer Insurance loss ratio in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 decreased compared to the same period in 2011 mainly due to lower catastrophes in the Americas and Asia Pacific. The loss ratio in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 decreased compared to the same period in 2011 mainly due to lower catastrophes as the prior year period was impacted by the Tohoku Catastrophe in Japan and other events. The accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 decreased as a result of management's emphasis on continued improvement in the areas of business mix risk selection, price sophistication, and where necessary, targeted underwriting actions to meet internal performance or operating targets. Included in the accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, were three severe, but non-catastrophic, loss events in Japan of $24 million.

Commercial Insurance Quarterly and Year-to-Date Expense Ratios
The expense ratio increased by 3.5 points and 4.8 points in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, primarily due to an increase in acquisition costs related to AIG Property Casualty's strategy of growing higher value lines, which typically incur higher commission rates. In addition, ceding commissions decreased as a result of restructuring of the Property reinsurance program as part of the strategic decision to retain more profitable business while continuing to manage aggregate exposures. Acquisition expenses for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 increased the expense ratio by approximately 2.6 points and approximately 3.0 points, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Further, increases in bad debt expense of approximately $27 million and $146 million contributed approximately 0.6 points and 0.9 points to the expense ratio increase in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The remainder of the expense ratio increase was primarily due to higher personnel costs.
Consumer Insurance Quarterly and Year-to-Date Expense Ratios
The expense ratio in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 increased by 1.8 points and 1.4 points, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to a change in business mix and increases in direct marketing spending. The acquisition expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 increased the expense ratio by approximately 1.9 points from the same period in the prior year, reflecting the change in business mix and an increase in direct marketing spending. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, the expense ratio increase was primarily due to operating expenses incurred to grow key lines of business across a number of geographic areas and a $60 million decrease in VOBA benefit compared to the same period in the prior year.
AIG Property Casualty Quarterly and Year-to-Date Expense Ratios
AIG Property Casualty also continued to invest in a number of strategic initiatives during 2012, including the implementation of global finance and information systems, preparation for Solvency II compliance, readiness for regulation by the FRB under Dodd-Frank, legal entity restructuring, and underwriting and claims initiatives. The costs of these initiatives are reported as part of Other. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, such investments totaled $59 million and $167 million, respectively, representing an increase of approximately $23 million and $84 million over the same periods in the prior year. AIG Property Casualty incurred higher personnel costs, as it continued efforts to attract, retain and develop its human capital and to better align employee performance with its strategic goals. These items collectively contributed approximately 0.6 points and 1.2 points to the expense ratio increase in the respective periods.

AIG Property Casualty manages and accounts for its invested assets on a legal entity basis in conformity with regulatory requirements. Within a legal entity, invested assets are available to pay claims and expenses of both Commercial Insurance and Consumer Insurance operating segments as well as Other. Invested assets are not segregated or otherwise separately identified for the Commercial Insurance and Consumer Insurance operating segments.
111
Investment income is allocated to the Commercial Insurance and Consumer Insurance operating segments based on an internal investment income allocation model. The model estimates investable funds based primarily on loss reserves, unearned premium and a capital allocation for each segment. The investment income allocation is calculated based on the estimated investable funds and risk-free yields (plus an illiquidity premium) consistent with the approximate duration of the liabilities. The actual yields in excess of the allocated amounts and the investment income from the assets not attributable to the Commercial Insurance and Consumer Insurance operating segments are assigned to Other.
Net realized capital gains (losses) and Other income (expense) net are not allocated to Commercial Insurance and Consumer Insurance, but are reported as part of Other.
Quarterly and Year-to-Date Net Investment Income
AIG Property Casualty continued to refine its investment strategy, which includes asset diversification by reducing the concentration of its portfolio in tax-exempt municipal instruments and increasing investments in private placement debt and structured securities, and yield-enhancement opportunities, by redeploying excess cash and short-term investments into longer term investments. In addition, net investment income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 increased due to the strategic partnership with American General, all of which is reported in Consumer Insurance, and higher dividend income. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, the average yield increased by 60 and 20 basis points to 3.9 percent and 3.8 percent, respectively. Net investment income increased in both periods due to higher interest income on fixed maturity securities driven by the refinement in the investment strategy. This was offset by decreases in returns on partnership and hedge fund investments, reflective of the overall lower market performance for the respective periods.
Quarterly and Year-to-Date Net Realized Capital Gains (Losses)
Net realized capital gains for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 were primarily driven by gains recognized on the sale of fixed maturity and equity securities in the amount of $169 million and a gain on the sale of real estate. This was partially offset by other-than-temporary impairment of $31 million, primarily attributable to publicly traded and privately-held equity securities in the Japan portfolios and a decrease in recoverable values for structured securities. In addition, impairment charges of approximately $59 million related to life settlement contracts were recorded during the period.
Net realized capital gains for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 were primarily driven by gains recognized on the sale of fixed maturity securities in the amount of $490 million, which were partially offset by other-than-temporary impairments of $330 million, primarily attributable to a decrease in recoverable values for structured securities, and partnership investments and equity securities in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. In addition, impairment charges of $174 million primarily related to life settlement contracts were recorded during the period.

AIG's gross loss reserves represent the accumulation of estimates of ultimate losses, including estimates for IBNR and loss expenses, less applicable discount for future investment income. The methods used to determine loss reserve estimates and to establish the resulting reserves are continually reviewed and updated. Any adjustments resulting from this review are currently reflected in pre-tax income. Because loss reserve estimates are subject to the outcome of future events, changes in estimates are unavoidable given that loss trends vary and time is often required for changes in trends to be recognized and confirmed. Reserve changes that increase previous estimates of ultimate cost are referred to as unfavorable or adverse development or reserve strengthening. Reserve changes that decrease previous estimates of ultimate cost are referred to as favorable development.
The net loss reserves represent loss reserves reduced by reinsurance recoverables, net of an allowance for unrecoverable reinsurance, less applicable discount for future investment income.

Discounting of Reserves
At September 30, 2012, net loss reserves reflect a loss reserve discount of $3.3 billion, including tabular and non-tabular calculations.
The tabular workers' compensation discount is calculated using a 3.5 percent interest rate and the 1979 - 81 Decennial Mortality Table.
113
The non-tabular workers' compensation discount is calculated separately for companies domiciled in New York and Pennsylvania, and follows the statutory regulations for each state. For New York companies, the discount is based on a five percent interest rate and the companies' own payout patterns. For Pennsylvania companies, the statute has specified discount factors for accident years 2001 and prior, which are based on a six percent interest rate and an industry payout pattern. For accident years 2002 and subsequent, the discount is based on the payout patterns and investment yields of the companies. Certain other asbestos business that was written by AIG Property Casualty is discounted based on the investment yields of the companies and the payout pattern for this business. The discount consists of the following: $777 million tabular discount for workers' compensation in the U.S. operations of AIG Property Casualty; $2.4 billion non-tabular discount for workers' compensation in the U.S. operations of AIG Property Casualty; and $57 million non-tabular discount for asbestos for AIG Property Casualty.

The benefit from the change in discount in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 includes a $100 million increase in the reserve discount due to the commutation of an internal reinsurance treaty, under which a U.S. subsidiary previously ceded workers' compensation claims to a non-U.S. subsidiary. AIG discounts its loss reserves related to workers' compensation business written by its U.S.-domiciled subsidiaries as permitted by the domiciliary statutory regulatory authorities. As a result of the commutation, the reserves for these claims are now being discounted commencing in the three-month period ended June 30, 2012. The commutation was implemented as part of AIG Property Casualty's efforts to simplify its internal reinsurance arrangements.
The prior year development and changes in the estimates in the payout patterns of previously established loss reserves did not have a significant impact on the change in discount in any of the periods presented.
Quarterly Reserving Process
AIG believes that its net loss reserves are adequate to cover net losses and loss expenses as of September 30, 2012. While AIG regularly reviews the adequacy of established loss reserves, there can be no assurance that AIG's ultimate loss reserves will not develop adversely and materially exceed AIG's loss reserves as of September 30, 2012. In the opinion of management, such adverse development and resulting increase in reserves are not likely to have a material adverse effect on AIG's consolidated financial condition, although such events could have a material adverse effect on AIG's consolidated results of operations for an individual reporting period.
In determining the loss development from prior accident years, AIG conducts analyses to determine the change in estimated ultimate loss for each accident year for each class of business. For example, if loss emergence for a class of business is different than expected for certain accident years, management examines the indicated effect such emergence would have on the reserves of that class of business. In some cases, the higher or lower than expected emergence may result in no clear change in the ultimate loss estimate for the accident years in question, and no adjustment would be made to the reserves for the class of business for prior accident years. In other cases, the higher or lower than expected emergence may result in a larger change, either favorable or unfavorable, than the difference between the actual and expected loss emergence. AIG conducted reserve analyses in 2012 to determine the loss development from prior accident years. As part of its reserving process, AIG also considers notices of claims received with respect to emerging and/or evolving issues, such as those related to changes in the legal, regulatory, judicial and social environment, changes in medical cost trends (inflation, intensity and utilization of medical services), underlying policy pricing, terms and conditions, and claims handling practices.

Quarterly and Year-to-Date Prior Accident Year Development
As noted in the prior accident year development by major class of business table above, AIG Property Casualty experienced adverse development in the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 in AIG Property Casualty's environmental business (policies written after 1987), primary workers' compensation lines, and primary casualty, which is included in All other, net. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, the adverse development was driven by reserve increases on claims in the AIG Property Casualty's environmental business (policies written after 1987), legacy environmental exposures (1986 and prior), and excess casualty lines. This was partially offset by net favorable development in reserves for natural catastrophes (principally the Tohoku Catastrophe) and favorable development in the Consumer Insurance operating segment, which is included in All other, net.
The development in the environmental business for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to claims increases in four major categories:
The reserve increase in the environmental business was the result of an on-going review of certain cases that AIG believes to be subject to the most volatility. For several of those cases, AIG concluded that the reserves should be increased to take into account the updated assessment of the claims. AIG also reviewed the legacy environmental (1986 and prior) claims and increased the reserves accordingly.
Partially offsetting the prior accident year adverse development, AIG Property Casualty recognized additional premiums on loss-sensitive business of $66 million and $52 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to $25 million and $ 153 million in the same periods in the prior year, respectively.
See AIG Property Casualty Results herein and Other Operations Other Operations Results Mortgage Guaranty for further discussion of net loss development.

Asbestos and Environmental (1986 and Prior) Reserves
The estimation of loss reserves relating to asbestos and environmental claims on insurance policies written many years ago is subject to greater uncertainty than other types of claims due to inconsistent court decisions as well as judicial interpretations and legislative actions that in some cases have tended to broaden coverage beyond the original intent of such policies and in others have expanded theories of liability.
As described more fully in the 2011 Annual Report, AIG's reserves relating to asbestos and environmental claims reflect a comprehensive ground-up analysis performed annually. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, $32 million of net incurred loss pertaining to the asbestos loss reserve discount is reflected in the table below. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, AIG increased its gross environmental reserves by $150 million and increased its net environmental reserves by $75 million. This development is primarily attributable to several large accounts which led to an increase in the estimate of claims that have been incurred but not reported.
In addition to the U.S. asbestos and environmental reserve amounts shown in the tables below, AIG Property Casualty also has asbestos reserves relating to foreign risks written by non-U.S. entities of $142 million gross and $115 million net reserves as of September 30, 2012. Similar amounts were held at December 31, 2011.

(a) The number of environmental claims dismissed or otherwise resolved, increased substantially during 2012 as a result of AIG Property Casualty's determination that certain methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) claims presented no further potential for exposure since these underlying claims were resolved through dismissal, settlement, or trial for all of the accounts involved. All of these accounts were fully reserved at the account level and included adequate reserves for those underlying individual claims that contributed to the actual losses. These individual claim closings, therefore, had no impact on AIG Property Casualty's environmental reserves.
(b) Represents an administrative change to the method of determining the number of open claims, which had no effect on carried reserves.
Survival Ratios Asbestos and Environmental
The following table presents AIG's survival ratios for asbestos and environmental claims at September 30, 2012 and 2011. The survival ratio is derived by dividing the current carried loss reserve by the average payments for the three most recent calendar years for these claims. Therefore, the survival ratio is a simplistic measure estimating the number of years it would take before the current ending loss reserves for these claims would be paid off using recent year average payments.
Many factors, such as aggressive settlement procedures, mix of business and level of coverage provided, have a significant effect on the amount of asbestos and environmental reserves and payments and the resultant survival ratio. Moreover, as discussed above, the primary basis for AIG's determination of its reserves is not survival ratios, but instead the ground-up and top-down analyses. Thus, caution should be exercised in attempting to determine reserve adequacy for these claims based simply on this survival ratio.
The following table presents survival ratios for asbestos and environmental claims which were based upon a three-year average payment:

Quarterly AIG Life and Retirement Results
Net investment income increased compared to the same quarter of 2011, reflecting the following items:
The favorable variances above were partially offset by the following:
In the three months ended September 30, 2012, AIG Life and Retirement life insurance subsidiaries worked to resolve multi-state examinations relating to the handling of unclaimed property and the use of the Social Security Death Master File (SSDMF) to identify death claims that have not been submitted to AIG in the normal course of business.
The final settlement of these examinations was announced on October 22, 2012. AIG Life and Retirement is now taking enhanced measures to, among other things, routinely match policyholder records with the SSDMF to determine if its insured parties, annuitants, or retained account holders have died and locate beneficiaries when a claim is payable.
Expenses incurred in the current quarter related to claims enhancement include the following:
Further, as a result of a comprehensive review of reserves for the GIC portfolio, AIG Life and Retirement recorded an increase to interest credited expense of $110 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Pre-tax income for AIG Life and Retirement in the third quarter of 2012 included a $632 million increase in net realized capital gains compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to higher gains from a sale of investments and a $295 million decline in other-than-temporary impairments.
As part of a program to utilize capital loss tax carryforwards, certain assets in an unrealized gain position that support payout annuity products were sold. Subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds at generally lower yields, triggered loss recognition of $598 million in the three months ended September 30 2012, which was reported as a component of Change in benefit reserves and DAC, VOBA and SIA related to net realized capital losses. This charge effectively transferred shadow loss recognition to actual loss recognition in the three months ended September 30, 2012, and to a much lesser extent, resulted in additional DAC amortization. Additional sales of such securities that would result in capital gains are planned during the remainder of 2012.
Year-to-Date AIG Life and Retirement Results
Net investment income increased for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, reflecting an increase in base yields of 15 basis points, due to the reinvestment of significant amounts of cash and short term investments during 2011. In addition to the increase from reinvestment, net investment income compared to the same period of 2011 reflected the following items:
122
These items were partially offset by:
The increase in net investment income combined with lower interest credited resulted in improved investment spreads for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011.
The effect of positive equity market performance resulted in approximately $210 million lower DAC amortization and policyholder benefit expenses in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
The nine months ended September 30, 2012, included the previously described charges related to the multi-state examination and use of the SSDMF of approximately $66 million, compared to a change to increase IBNR related to the SSDMF of $100 million in the same period in 2011.
Also included in the nine month results was the $110 million increase in GIC interest credited expense discussed above.
As a result of decreases in interest rates on U.S. Treasury securities during the first nine months of 2012, the fair value of the U.S. Treasury securities used for hedging, net of financing costs, increased by $48 million. This was partially offset by embedded derivative losses related to the decline in interest rates, which are reported in net realized gains (losses).
Pre-tax income for AIG Life and Retirement included a $621 million increase in net realized capital gains compared to the 2011 period, due to higher gains from the sale of investments and lower other-than-temporary impairments. These higher gains were partially offset by $421 million higher fair value losses on variable annuity embedded derivatives, net of related hedges and other interest and currency rate swaps, which were primarily due to declining credit spreads and declines in long-term interest rates.
The sale of securities in an unrealized gain position and subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds at generally lower yields, triggered loss recognition for certain payout annuity products in the amount of $1.1 billion in 2012, which effectively transferred shadow loss recognition from unrealized to actual loss recognition and, to a lesser extent, resulted in additional DAC amortization in the first nine months of 2012.

* Life insurance sales include periodic premiums from new business expected to be collected over a one-year period and 10 percent of single premiums and unscheduled deposits from new and existing policyholders. Annuity sales represent deposits from new and existing customers.
Total premiums, deposits and other considerations decreased in both the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 as substantial decreases in individual fixed annuities were only partially offset by significant increases in individual variable annuities and retail mutual funds.
Individual fixed annuity deposits declined due to the low interest rate environment as consumers are reluctant to purchase such annuities at the relatively low crediting rates currently offered. Group retirement product deposits (which include deposits into mutual funds and fixed options within variable annuities sold in group retirement markets) decreased modestly due to slightly lower levels of individual rollover deposits and periodic deposits in 2012, partially offset by higher mutual fund deposits. The low interest rate environment has also begun to impact group retirement deposits, resulting in lower levels of deposits into fixed options. Individual variable annuity deposits increased due to innovative product enhancements and expanded distribution as well as a more favorable competitive environment. Premiums from life insurance products increased in 2012, but were more than offset by declines in deferred annuities sold through life insurance distribution channels. Retail mutual fund sales growth was principally driven by SunAmerica Asset Management Corp.'s Focused Dividend Strategy product offering which continues as a top short- and long-term performer within its respective peer group.
AIG Life and Retirement's total life sales increased nine percent during the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due in part to the timing of large institutional product sales. Sales of AIG Life and Retirement term products through its affiliated Matrix Direct channel in the first nine months of 2012 were up due in part to the shift toward selling proprietary products. Universal life sales continued to be pressured by the economic environment as the pricing of these products is sensitive to interest rates.

Overall, net flows were negative in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to lower fixed annuity deposits resulting from the low interest rate environment. However, surrender rates for individual fixed annuities also decreased in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 due to the relative competitiveness of interest credited rates on the existing block of fixed annuities versus interest rates on alternative investment options available in the marketplace. Net flows improved in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 for individual variable annuities due to both the increase in deposits and favorable surrender experience. Net flows improved in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 for retail mutual funds due to increased deposits.

(b) Net of benefit of DAC and VOBA related to net realized capital losses.
As AIG Life and Retirement operates in various markets, the estimated gross profits used to amortize DAC and VOBA are subject to differing market returns and interest yield assumptions in any single period. The combination of market returns and interest rates may lead to acceleration of amortization in some products and simultaneous deceleration of amortization in other products.
DAC and VOBA for insurance-oriented, investment-oriented and retirement services products are reviewed for recoverability, which involves estimating the future profitability of current business. This review involves significant management judgment. See Note 2(g) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Annual Report for additional information on DAC and VOBA recoverability.

AIG's Aircraft Leasing operations are the operations of ILFC, which generates its revenues primarily from leasing new and used commercial jet aircraft to foreign and domestic airlines, and (since the date of its acquisition by ILFC) AeroTurbine. Aircraft Leasing operations also include gains and losses that result from the remarketing of commercial jet aircraft for ILFC's own account, and remarketing and fleet management services for airlines and other aircraft fleet owners.

Quarterly Aircraft Leasing Results
Aircraft Leasing reported pre-tax income in the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to pre-tax loss in the same period in 2011 due to impairment charges, fair value adjustments, and lease-related charges on aircraft of $1.5 billion in 2011. This increase was partially offset by lower lease revenue and increased costs due to early returns of aircraft by lessees who ceased operations, lower lease revenue earned on re-leased aircraft in its fleet, charges relating to reserves recorded for potential exposure under aircraft asset value guarantees and an increase in depreciation expense due to the change in depreciable lives and residual values of certain aircraft.
The impairment charges in 2011 resulted from unfavorable trends affecting the residual values of certain aircraft types. In monitoring the aircraft in ILFC's fleet for impairment charges on an on-going basis, ILFC considers facts and circumstances such as projected lease rates and terms, residual values, overhaul rental realization and aircraft holding periods. These items are considered in determining whether ILFC would need to modify its assumptions used in its recoverability assessments. In addition to these factors, ILFC considered its newly acquired end-of-life management capabilities from its acquisition of AeroTurbine and its impact on ILFC's strategy, as well as potential sales. While ILFC's overall business model has not changed, its expectation of how it may manage out-of-production aircraft, or aircraft that have been affected by new technology developments, changed due to the AeroTurbine acquisition. The result of the overall assessment in 2011 based on ILFC's updated assumptions and management's change in its end-of-life strategy for older generation aircraft indicated that the book value of certain aircraft were not fully recoverable and these aircraft were deemed impaired. The aircraft impaired were primarily out-of-production aircraft, or aircraft that have been impacted by new technology developments.

Year-to-Date Aircraft Leasing Results
Aircraft Leasing reported pre-tax income in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to pre-tax loss in the same period in 2011 due to lower impairment charges and lower losses on extinguishment of debt. These items were offset by lower lease revenue and increased costs due to early returns of aircraft by lessees who ceased operations, lower lease revenue earned on re-leased aircraft in its fleet, charges relating to reserves recorded for potential exposure under aircraft asset value guarantees and an increase in depreciation expense due to the change in depreciable lives and residual values of certain aircraft.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, Aircraft Leasing recorded $98 million in impairment charges, fair value adjustments, and lease-related charges compared to $1.5 billion in the same period in 2011 due to the unfavorable trends in 2011 described above.

New insurance written, which represents the original principal balance of the insured mortgages, was approximately $26 billion and $11 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in new insurance written is the result of the market acceptance by lenders of UGC's risk-based pricing model and withdrawal of certain competitors from the market during 2011.

Global Capital Markets (GCM) Operations
GCM reported pre-tax income in the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to a pre-tax loss in the same period in 2011 primarily due to improvement in unrealized market valuations related to the super senior CDS portfolio, improvement in net credit valuation adjustments on the GCM derivative assets and liabilities and a decrease in operating expenses. For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, unrealized market valuation gains of $204 million and $3 million, respectively, were recognized. The improvement resulted primarily from CDS transactions written on multi-sector CDOs driven by amortization and price movements within the CDS portfolio. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, no net credit valuation adjustment gains or losses were recognized, compared to a net credit valuation adjustment loss of $97 million in 2011. The improvement resulted primarily from a tightening of counterparty credit spreads.
GCM reported pre-tax income in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to a pre-tax loss in the same period in 2011 primarily due to improvement in unrealized market valuations related to the super senior CDS portfolio and a decrease in operating expenses. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, unrealized market valuation gains of $401 million and $232 million, respectively, were recognized. The improvement resulted primarily from CDS transactions written on multi-sector CDOs driven by amortization and price movements within the CDS portfolio.

Direct Investment Book Results
The DIB's pre-tax income increased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to improvement in net credit valuation adjustments on the DIB assets and liabilities for which the fair value option was elected and gains realized from unwinding certain transactions. For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, net credit valuation adjustment gains of $323 million and $54 million, respectively, were recognized. The improvement resulted primarily from gains on assets due to the tightening of counterparty credit spreads, partially offset by losses on liabilities due to the tightening of AIG's credit spreads.
The DIB's pre-tax income increased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to realized capital gains in 2012 and improvement in net credit valuation adjustments on the DIB assets and liabilities for which the fair value option was elected. In the first quarter of 2012, the DIB realized a capital gain of $426 million on the sale of 35.7 million common units of The Blackstone Group L.P. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, net credit valuation adjustment gains of $453 million and $370 million, respectively, were recognized. The improvement resulted primarily from gains on assets due to the tightening of counterparty credit spreads, partially offset by losses on liabilities due to the tightening of AIG's credit spreads.
The following table presents credit valuation adjustment gains (losses) for the DIB assets and liabilities for which the fair value option was elected (excluding intercompany transactions):

Retained Interests
Change in Fair Value of AIA Securities
On March 7, 2012, AIG sold approximately 1.72 billion ordinary shares of AIA and recognized a gain of $0.6 billion. On September 11, 2012, AIG sold approximately 600 million ordinary shares of AIA for a loss of $19 million. As a result of these sales, AIG's retained interest in AIA decreased from approximately 33 percent with a total carrying value of $12.4 billion at December 31, 2011 to approximately 14 percent with a total carrying value of $6.1 billion at September 30, 2012. The fair value of AIG's remaining interest in AIA securities increased $527 million and $1.8 billion for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
Change in Fair Value of ML III
The gains attributable to AIG's interest in ML III for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were based in part on the completion of the final auction of ML III assets by the FRBNY, in the third quarter of 2012.
132
Change in Fair Value of the MetLife Securities Prior to Sale
AIG recognized a loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing the decline in the securities' value, due to market conditions, from December 31, 2010 through the date of their sale in the first quarter of 2011.
Corporate & Other
Corporate & Other reported a higher pre-tax loss in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to:
Partially offsetting these losses was a reduction in expense of $117 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 resulting from the decrease in the estimate of the liability for the Department of the Treasury's underwriting fees for the sale of AIG Common Stock as shares were sold at a price lower than had been estimated at the time the accrual was established and AIG repurchased a significant amount of shares for which no payment to the underwriters was required.
Corporate & Other reported a decline in pre-tax losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to the effects of the following:
Partially offsetting these improvements was an increase in corporate expenses due to an increased estimated litigation liability of approximately $729 million based on developments in several actions, ongoing corporate initiatives and higher compensation expense, which varies in part based on AIG's stock price.
Real estate and other non-core businesses declined due to lower gains on real estate dispositions and higher equity losses on real estate investments.

Change in Unrealized Appreciation of Investments
The increases in 2012 were primarily attributable to appreciation in bonds available for sale due to lower interest rates and narrowing spreads for investment grade and high yield securities. U.S. Treasury rates increased during the first quarter of 2012, however spreads narrowed more than the increase in U.S. Treasury rates, resulting in lower rates and increased unrealized appreciation in the quarter. U.S. Treasury rates declined during the second quarter of 2012, with the ten year rate declining to a historical low during the quarter. Partially offsetting the U.S. Treasury rate decline were widening spreads, although the increased spreads were less than the U.S. Treasury rate decline. U.S. Treasury rates ended the third quarter of 2012 approximately flat; however, spreads narrowed considerably in the quarter, resulting in significant unrealized appreciation.
During 2011, the insurance operations portfolios experienced appreciation in bonds available for sale and increased valuations on cost method partnerships, and appreciation on equities available for sale. The bond appreciation was driven by lower rates, with spread tightening on high yield securities more than offsetting the U.S. Treasury rate increase during the first quarter of 2011. Higher valuations on cost method partnerships also contributed to the appreciation during the first quarter of 2011, driven by positive equity market performance. A combination of lower U.S. Treasury rates and spread tightening on investment grade securities drove appreciation during the second quarter of 2011, with an additional contribution coming from appreciation in AIG's investment in the PICC Property and Casualty Co. Ltd. U.S. Treasury rates dropped significantly in the third quarter of 2011, partially offset by spreads widening. The net effect was an increase in unrealized appreciation, primarily in respect of government obligations and high grade fixed securities. The third quarter of 2011 reflected challenging conditions for equity securities, with AIG's investment in The Blackstone Group L.P. and PICC Property and Casualty Co. Ltd experiencing unrealized losses.
The effects of reclassification adjustments included in net income on unrealized appreciation of investments were $877 million and $2.7 billion, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $621 million and $1.5 billion, respectively, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
134
See Investments Investment Highlights Securities available for sale herein for a table on the gross unrealized gains (losses) of AIG's available for sale securities by type of security.
Change in Deferred Acquisition Costs Adjustment and Other
The change in DAC in 2012 is primarily the result of increases in the unrealized appreciation of investments supporting interest-sensitive products. DAC for investment-oriented products is adjusted for changes in estimated gross profits that result from changes in the net unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity and equity securities available for sale. Because fixed maturity and equity securities available for sale are carried at aggregate fair value, an adjustment is made to DAC equal to the change in DAC amortization that would have been recorded if such securities had been sold at their stated aggregate fair value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields. These adjustments, net of tax, are included with the change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments that is credited or charged directly to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Change in Future Policy Benefits
Primarily as a result of the increase in unrealized appreciation of investments during the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, AIG recorded additional future policy benefits through Other comprehensive income. This change in future policy benefits assumes the securities underlying certain traditional long-duration products had been sold at their stated aggregate fair value and reinvested at current yields. This increase in future policy benefits was partially offset by loss reserve recognition resulting from sales of securities in unrealized gain positions.
Change in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments
The change in foreign currency translation adjustment was a net gain for the three months ended September 30, 2012 due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro, British pound, Japanese yen and Canadian dollar compared to a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011, due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the British pound, Canadian dollar, partially offset by the appreciation of the Japanese yen.
The change in foreign currency translation adjustments was a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and Japanese yen compared to a net gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and Japanese yen.
Change in Net Derivative Gains (Losses) Arising from Cash Flow Hedging Activities
The decline primarily reflects the gradual run-off of the cash flow hedge portfolio, partially offset by a decline in the interest rate environment.
Change in Retirement Plan Liabilities Adjustment
The positive adjustment in 2012, compared to the negative adjustment in 2011, is primarily due to the 2011 remeasurement of certain U.S. plans and fluctuations in exchange rates in effect for 2012 compared to 2011. The AIG Retirement and AIG Excess Plans were remeasured in 2011 due to the conversion of those plans to cash balance plans, and AIG recognized a reduction in Accumulated other comprehensive income in connection with the remeasurement in 2011 primarily due to a decrease in the discount rate. The AIG Postretirement Plan was remeasured in 2011 as a result of the elimination of the retiree medical employer subsidy for certain employees.
Change Attributable to Divestitures and Deconsolidations
The change attributable to divestitures and deconsolidations in 2011 primarily reflects the derecognition of all items in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at the time of sale for AIG Star, AIG Edison and Nan Shan.
135
Deferred Taxes on Other Comprehensive Income
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the effective tax rates on pre-tax Other Comprehensive Income were 32.5 percent and 32.1 percent, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the statutory 35 percent rate primarily due to a decrease in the valuation allowance and the effect of foreign operations.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the effective tax rates on pre-tax Other Comprehensive Loss were (31.7) percent and (14.4) percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 differs from the statutory 35 percent rate primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance, the Nan Shan disposition, and the effect of foreign operations. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 differs from the statutory 35 percent rate primarily due to the AIG Star, AIG Edison and Nan Shan dispositions and the effect of foreign operations. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, the entire increase in the valuation allowance was allocated to continuing operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity refers to the ability to generate sufficient cash resources to meet payment obligations. Capital refers to the long-term financial resources available to support the operation of businesses, fund business growth, and provide a cushion to withstand adverse circumstances.
AIG manages its liquidity and capital resources at the legal entity level. AIG's ability to generate and maintain sufficient liquidity and capital depends on the profitability of its businesses, general economic conditions and its access to the capital markets and the alternate sources of liquidity and capital described in this section. AIG believes that it has sufficient liquidity to satisfy future liquidity requirements and meet its obligations, including reasonably foreseeable contingencies or events.
As part of the active management of its capital, AIG may, depending on market conditions, rating agency considerations and other factors, from time to time take various actions, including possibly repurchasing or redeeming outstanding debt, issuing new debt or engaging in debt exchange offers.
Highlights of actions taken during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 that affected liquidity and capital resources include:
136
See Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries Sources of Liquidity herein for further discussion.
AIG maintains a stress testing and liquidity framework to systematically assess its aggregate exposure to its most significant risks. This framework is built on AIG's existing Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) stress testing methodology for both insurance and non-insurance operations. The scenarios are performed with a two-year time horizon and capital adequacy requirements consider both financial and insurance risks.
AIG's insurance operations must comply with numerous constraints on their minimum capital positions. These constraints are guiding requirements for capital adequacy for individual businesses, based on capital assessments under rating agency, regulatory and business requirements. Using ERM's stress testing methodology, the capital impact of potential stresses is evaluated relative to the binding capital constraint of each business operation to determine the liquidity required of AIG Parent to support the insurance operations and maintain their target capitalization levels. Added to this amount is the contingent liquidity required from AIG Parent under stressed scenarios for non-insurance operations.
AIG operates within the updated liquidity risk appetite framework which was approved in September 2012. AIG Parent liquidity risk tolerance levels were established for base and stress scenarios over a two-year time horizon designed to ensure that daily funding needs are met across varying market conditions. In the event that defined risk tolerance levels are projected to be breached, AIG will take appropriate actions to further increase liquidity sources and/or reduce liquidity requirements to remain within the stated risk appetite, although no assurance can be given that this can be achieved under then-prevailing market conditions.
AIG has in place unconditional capital maintenance agreements (CMAs) with certain AIG Property Casualty and AIG Life and Retirement insurance companies. These CMAs are expected to continue to enhance AIG's capital management practices, and will help manage the flow of capital and funds between AIG Parent and its insurance company subsidiaries. AIG has also entered into and expects to enter into additional CMAs with certain other insurance companies as needed in 2012. For additional details regarding CMAs, see Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries AIG Property Casualty, and AIG Life and Retirement, below.
137
Some circumstances may cause AIG's cash needs to exceed its liquidity sources. Additional collateral calls, deterioration in investment portfolios or reserve strengthening affecting statutory surplus, higher surrenders of annuities and other policies, downgrades in AIG's credit ratings, or catastrophic losses may result in significant additional cash needs, loss of some sources of liquidity or both. In addition, regulatory and other legal restrictions could limit AIG's ability to transfer funds freely, either to or from its subsidiaries.
Dividend Restrictions
Payment of future dividends to AIG shareholders depends in part on the regulatory framework that will ultimately be applicable to AIG, including AIG's status as an SLHC under Dodd-Frank and whether AIG is determined to be a SIFI. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of potential restrictions on payments of dividends to common shareholders.
Payments of dividends to AIG by its insurance subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictions imposed by regulatory authorities. See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Annual Report for additional discussion of restrictions on payments of dividends by AIG and its subsidiaries.

Operating Cash Flow Activities
Interest payments totaled $3.1 billion and $8.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Cash paid for interest in the first nine months of 2011 includes the payment of FRBNY Credit Facility accrued compounded interest totaling $6.4 billion. Excluding interest payments, AIG generated positive operating cash flow of $5.9 billion and $6.8 billion in 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Insurance companies generally receive most premiums in advance of the payment of claims or policy benefits. The ability of insurance companies to generate positive cash flow is affected by the frequency and severity of losses under their insurance policies, policy retention rates and operating expenses.
Cash provided by AIG Property Casualty operating activities was $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to cash used of $0.3 billion in the same period in 2011, primarily reflecting lower catastrophe losses, and underwriting improvements related to rate increases and enhanced risk selection, partially offset by higher acquisition costs as a result of the change in business mix from Commercial Insurance to Consumer Insurance. The nine months ended September 30, 2011 were affected by significant catastrophe losses, including the Tohoku Catastrophe in Japan and earthquakes in New Zealand.
Cash provided by operating activities of $1.4 billion by AIG Life and Retirement was consistent for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Aircraft Leasing generated cash from operating activities of $2.3 billion and $1.9 billion during the same periods. These cash flows reflected operating performance that was generally consistent for Aircraft Leasing in both periods.
138
Investing Cash Flow Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes the following items:
Net cash provided by investing activities in 2011 was primarily attributable to the utilization of previously restricted cash generated from the AIA initial public offering and the disposition of MetLife securities received in the ALICO sale. The restrictions on the cash were released in connection with the Recapitalization in 2011.
Financing Cash Flow Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes the following activities:
Net cash used in financing activities for 2011 primarily resulted from the repayment of the FRBNY Credit Facility and the $11.4 billion partial repayment of the AIA SPV Preferred Interests and the preferred interests in AM Holdings LLC (the ALICO SPV) in connection with the Recapitalization and use of proceeds received from the sales of foreign life insurance entities in 2011, all within Other operations.
Liquidity of Parent and Subsidiaries
AIG Parent
AIG Parent's primary sources of liquidity are short-term investments, borrowing availability under credit and contingent liquidity facilities and dividends, distributions and other payments from subsidiaries. In addition, subject to market conditions, AIG expects to access the debt markets from time to time to meet its financing needs, which include the payment of maturing debt of AIG and its subsidiaries. AIG maintains substantial actual and contingent liquidity.

For additional information relating to the contingent liquidity facilities, see Contingent Liquidity Facilities below.
139
Highlights of actions taken during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 that impacted liquidity include:
Sources of Liquidity
AIG Parent's primary sources of liquidity are dividends, distributions, and other payments from subsidiaries, as well as credit and contingent liquidity facilities. In addition, as noted above, AIG expects to access the debt markets from time to time to meet its financing needs. In the first nine months of 2012, AIG Parent:
140
Uses of Liquidity
AIG Parent's primary uses of liquidity are for debt service, capital management, operating expenses and subsidiary capital needs. In the first nine months of 2012, AIG Parent:
AIG Property Casualty
AIG currently expects that AIG Property Casualty will be able to continue to satisfy future liquidity requirements and meet their obligations, including those arising from reasonably foreseeable contingencies or events, through cash from operations and, to the extent necessary, asset dispositions. AIG Property Casualty subsidiaries maintain substantial liquidity in the form of cash and short-term investments, totaling $7.2 billion as of September 30, 2012. Further, AIG Property Casualty subsidiaries maintain significant levels of investment-grade fixed maturity securities, including substantial holdings in government and corporate bonds, which AIG Property Casualty subsidiaries could monetize in the event liquidity levels are deemed insufficient. AIG Property Casualty paid cash and non-cash dividends of $75 million and $1.6 billion to AIG Parent in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively. In addition, on October 19, 2012, AIG Property Casualty paid a cash dividend of $800 million to AIG Parent.
AIG could be required to provide additional liquidity to AIG Property Casualty subsidiaries under certain circumstances, including:
141
February 2011 CMAs
In February 2011, AIG entered into CMAs with certain domestic AIG Property Casualty insurance subsidiaries. Among other things, the CMAs provided that AIG would maintain the total adjusted capital of these individual AIG Property Casualty insurance subsidiaries at or above a specified minimum percentage of the subsidiaries' projected total authorized control level Risk-Based Capital (RBC) (as defined by National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) guidelines and determined based on the subsidiaries' statutory financial statements). As a result, the CMAs provided that if the total adjusted capital of these AIG Property Casualty insurance subsidiaries fell below the specified minimum percentage of their respective total authorized control level RBCs, AIG would contribute cash or other instruments admissible under applicable regulations to these AIG Property Casualty insurance subsidiaries in the amount necessary to increase total adjusted capital to a level at least equal to such specified minimum percentage. Any required contribution under the CMAs would generally have been made during the second and fourth quarters of each year; however, AIG could also make contributions in such amounts and at such times as it deemed appropriate. In addition, the CMAs provide that if the total adjusted capital of these AIG Property Casualty insurance subsidiaries exceeded that same specified minimum percentage of their respective total authorized control level RBCs, subject to board approval, the subsidiaries would have declared and paid ordinary dividends to their respective equity holders up to an amount that is the lesser of:
The CMAs did not prohibit, however, the payment of extraordinary dividends, subject to board or regulatory approval, to reduce projected or actual total adjusted capital to a level equal to or not materially greater than the specified minimum percentage. Any required dividend under the CMAs would generally have been made on a quarterly basis. As structured, the CMAs contemplated that the specified minimum percentage would be reviewed and agreed upon at least annually. The initial specified minimum percentage was 425 percent. For the year ended December 31, 2011, AIG received a total of approximately $1.3 billion in dividends from AIG Property Casualty subsidiaries and made no contributions to AIG Property Casualty subsidiaries under the CMAs.
February 2012 New CMAs
In February 2012, AIG, Chartis Inc. and certain of its domestic insurance subsidiaries, entered into a new, single CMA, which replaced the CMAs entered into in February 2011. The new CMA is structured similarly to the February 2011 CMAs that it replaces, except that under the new CMA, the total adjusted capital and total authorized control level RBC of these AIG Property Casualty insurance subsidiaries are measured as a group (the Fleet) rather than on an individual company basis. As a result, the new CMA provides that AIG will maintain the total adjusted capital of the Fleet at or above a specified minimum percentage of the Fleet's projected total authorized control level RBC. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, AIG did not receive any dividends from AIG Property Casualty subsidiaries. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, AIG received a total of approximately $1.5 billion in dividends from AIG Property Casualty subsidiaries, consisting of cash and municipal bonds, and made no contributions to AIG Property Casualty subsidiaries under the new CMA. Effective February 17, 2012, the specified minimum percentage is 350 percent.
In March 2012, the National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa. (NUFI), an AIG Property Casualty company, became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Pittsburgh. In August 2012, Chartis Specialty Insurance Company (CSI), an AIG Property Casualty company, became a member of the FHLB of Chicago. FHLB membership provides participants with access to various services, including access to low-cost advances through pledging of certain mortgage-backed securities, government and agency securities and other qualifying assets. These advances may be used to provide an additional source of liquidity for balance sheet management or contingency funding purposes. As of September 30, 2012, neither NUFI nor CSI had any advances outstanding under their respective facilities.
AIG Life and Retirement
Management considers the sources of liquidity for AIG Life and Retirement subsidiaries adequate to satisfy future liquidity requirements and meet their obligations, including those arising from reasonably foreseeable contingencies
142
or events, through cash from operations and, to the extent necessary, asset dispositions. Management, however, has recently initiated some specific programs intended to provide additional sources of actual and contingent liquidity. The AIG Life and Retirement subsidiaries continue to maintain liquidity in the form of cash and short-term investments, totaling $5.8 billion as of September 30, 2012. In the first nine months of 2012, AIG Life and Retirement provided $2.4 billion of liquidity to AIG Parent through the payment of dividends from insurance subsidiaries. These payments from the insurance subsidiaries included a $1.6 billion return of capital distribution of the insurance subsidiaries interests in ML II from the FRBNY's sale of the underlying assets. On October 31, 2012, AIG Parent received a distribution of $454 million from AIG Life and Retirement in the form of a note repayment.
The most significant potential liquidity requirements of the AIG Life and Retirement subsidiaries are the funding of product surrenders, withdrawals and maturities. Given the size and liquidity profile of AIG Life and Retirement's investment portfolios, AIG believes that normal deviations from projected claim or surrender experience would not constitute a significant liquidity risk. As part of its risk management framework, AIG Life and Retirement continues to evaluate and implement programs to enhance its liquidity position and facilitate AIG Life and Retirement's ability to maintain a fully invested asset portfolio, including securities lending programs and other secured financings structured to increase liquidity.
During 2012, AIG Life and Retirement began utilizing securities lending programs to supplement liquidity or for other uses as deemed appropriate by management. Under these programs, the AIG Life and Retirement subsidiaries lend securities to financial institutions and receive collateral equal to 102 percent of the fair value of the loaned securities. Reinvestment of cash collateral received is restricted to highly liquid short-term investments. AIG Life and Retirement's liability to the borrower for collateral received was $1.88 billion as of September 30, 2012. In addition, in 2011, certain AIG Life and Retirement insurance subsidiaries became members of the FHLBs in their respective districts, primarily as an additional source of liquidity or for other uses deemed appropriate by management. As of September 30, 2012, AIG Life and Retirement had outstanding borrowings of $82 million from the FHLBs.
In March 2011, AIG entered into CMAs with certain AIG Life and Retirement insurance subsidiaries. Among other things, the CMAs provide that AIG will maintain the total adjusted capital of each of these AIG Life and Retirement insurance subsidiaries at or above a specified minimum percentage of the subsidiary's projected Company Action Level RBCs. As a result, the CMAs provide that if the total adjusted capital of these AIG Life and Retirement insurance subsidiaries falls below the specified minimum percentage of their respective Company Action Level RBCs, AIG will contribute cash or instruments admissible under applicable regulations to these AIG Life and Retirement insurance subsidiaries in the amount necessary to increase total adjusted capital to a level at least equal to such specified minimum percentage. Any required contribution under the CMAs would generally be made during the second and fourth quarters of each year; however, AIG may also make contributions in such amounts and at such times as it deems appropriate.
In addition, the CMAs provide that if the total adjusted capital of these AIG Life and Retirement insurance subsidiaries is in excess of that same specified minimum percentage of their respective total company action level RBCs, subject to board approval, the subsidiaries would declare and pay ordinary dividends to their respective equity holders up to an amount that is the lesser of:
The CMAs do not prohibit, however, the payment of extraordinary dividends, subject to board and regulatory approval, to reduce projected or actual total adjusted capital to a level equal to or not materially greater than the specified minimum percentage. Any required dividend under the CMAs would generally be made on a quarterly basis. As structured, the CMAs contemplate that the specified minimum percentage would be reviewed and agreed upon at least annually. The initial specified minimum percentage was 350 percent, except for the CMA with AGC Life Insurance Company, which had a specified minimum percentage of 250 percent. Effective March 30, 2012, the specified minimum percentage increased from 350 percent to 435 percent, except for the CMA with AGC Life Insurance Company, where the specified minimum percentage remained at 250 percent.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, AIG received a total of approximately $1.4 billion in distributions from AIG Life and Retirement subsidiaries in the form of note repayments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, AIG received a total of approximately $2.4 billion in distributions from AIG Life and Retirement subsidiaries in the form of note repayments. AIG made no contributions under the CMAs in either period.

Aircraft Leasing
ILFC's sources of liquidity include existing cash and short-term investments of $2.6 billion, future cash flows from operations, revolving credit facilities, debt issuances, and aircraft sales, subject to market and other conditions. Uses of liquidity for ILFC primarily consist of aircraft purchases and debt repayments.
On February 23, 2012, ILFC closed on a $900 million senior secured term loan due in 2017. ILFC used the proceeds from this loan to prepay the $457 million outstanding under its five-year revolving syndicated bank facility, and the remainder for general corporate purposes. The senior secured term loan is secured primarily by a first priority perfected lien on the equity of certain ILFC subsidiaries that directly or indirectly own a pool of aircraft and related leases. Also on February 23, 2012, AeroTurbine amended its revolving credit facility to increase the maximum aggregate amount available by $95 million to $430 million.
On March 19, 2012, ILFC issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $750 million principal amount of 4.875% Notes due 2015 and $750 million principal amount of 5.875% Notes due 2019. The proceeds from these notes were used to repay ILFC's $750 million senior secured term loan scheduled to mature in 2015 and the remainder will be used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of debt and the purchase of aircraft.
On April 12, 2012, ILFC refinanced its $550 million secured term loan due in 2016. The new secured term loan, which matures in April 2016, bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 3.75% with a LIBOR floor of 1.0%, compared to interest of LIBOR plus a margin of 5.0% and a LIBOR floor of 2.0% for the loan that was refinanced.
On April 23, 2012, ILFC closed on a $203 million senior secured term loan due in 2018. ILFC used the proceeds from this loan for the acquisition of seven new aircraft delivered in 2012.
On August 21, 2012, ILFC issued $750 million principal amount of 5.875% Notes due 2022. The proceeds from the sale of these notes will be used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of debt and the purchase of aircraft.
On October 9, 2012, ILFC entered into a new $2.3 billion three-year revolving credit facility and terminated the existing $2.0 billion three-year revolving credit facility.
See Debt herein for further details on ILFC's revolving credit facilities and outstanding debt.
Other Operations
Mortgage Guaranty
AIG currently expects that its Mortgage Guaranty subsidiaries will be able to continue to satisfy future liquidity requirements and meet their obligations, including requirements arising out of reasonably foreseeable contingencies or events, through cash from operations and, to the extent necessary, asset dispositions. Mortgage Guaranty subsidiaries maintain substantial liquidity in the form of cash and short-term investments, totaling $690 million as of September 30, 2012. Further, Mortgage Guaranty businesses maintain significant levels of investment-grade fixed maturity securities, including substantial holdings in municipal and corporate bonds ($2.8 billion in the aggregate at September 30, 2012), which could be monetized in the event liquidity levels are insufficient to meet obligations.
Global Capital Markets
Global Capital Markets acts as the derivatives intermediary between AIG and its subsidiaries and third parties to provide hedging services. It executes its derivative trades under International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) agreements. The agreements with third parties typically require collateral postings. Many of GCM's transactions with AIG and its subsidiaries also include collateral posting requirements. However, generally, no collateral is called under these contracts unless it is needed to satisfy posting requirements with third parties. Most of GCM's CDS are subject to collateral posting provisions. These provisions differ among counterparties and asset classes. The amount of future collateral posting requirements is a function of AIG's credit ratings, the rating of the reference obligations and the market value of the relevant reference obligations, with the latter being the most significant factor. AIG estimates the amount of potential future collateral postings associated with the super senior CDS using various methodologies. The contingent liquidity requirements associated with such potential future collateral postings are incorporated into AIG's liquidity planning assumptions.
144
As of September 30, 2012, GCM had total assets of $7.4 billion and total liabilities of $4.7 billion. GCM's assets consist primarily of cash, short-term investments, other receivables, net of allowance, and unrealized gains on swaps, options and forwards. GCM's liabilities consist primarily of trade payables and unrealized losses on swaps, options and forwards. Collateral posted by operations included in GCM to third parties was $4.3 billion and $5.1 billion at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Collateral obtained by operations included in GCM from third parties was $910 million and $1.2 billion at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The collateral amounts reflect counterparty netting adjustments available under master netting agreements and are inclusive of collateral that exceeded the fair value of derivatives as of the reporting date.
Direct Investment Book
The DIB is comprised of the MIP and certain non-derivative assets and liabilities of AIGFP. The DIB's assets consist primarily of cash, short term investments, fixed maturity securities issued by U.S. government and government sponsored entities, mortgage and asset backed securities, equity securities and to a lesser extent bank loans and mortgage loans. The DIB's liabilities consist primarily of notes and other borrowings supported by assets as well as other short term obligations related to unsettled trades and short-term financing obligations. As of September 30, 2012, the DIB had total assets of $32.4 billion and total liabilities of $25.9 billion. The assets and liabilities and operating results of the DIB exclude the value of hedges related to the non-derivative assets and liabilities of AIGFP. The value of these hedges is included in the assets and liabilities and operating results of GCM.
AIG's risk target for the DIB is to maintain sufficient liquidity, at all times, to cover any payments on maturing DIB liabilities even under the stress scenarios defined by ERM. Management believes that the DIB has sufficient liquidity to meet all of its maturing liabilities even in these stress scenarios, without having to liquidate DIB assets or rely on additional liquidity from AIG Parent. If the DIB's risk target is breached, AIG expects to take appropriate actions to increase the DIB's liquidity sources or reduce liquidity requirements to maintain the risk target, although no assurance can be given that this can be achieved under then-prevailing market conditions. Any additional liquidity shortfalls would need to be funded by AIG Parent.
During the nine-months ended September 30, 2012, the DIB used current program liquidity to pay down $5.7 billion in debt. In addition, in the first quarter of 2012, AIG issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes, consisting of $750 million principal amount of 3.000% Notes Due 2015 and $1.25 billion principal amount of 3.800% Notes Due 2017. The proceeds from the sale of these notes are being used to continue to reduce the risk of, and better match the assets and liabilities in, the MIP and the notes are included within MIP notes payable in the debt outstanding table in "Debt Debt Maturities" below.
During the first quarter of 2012, AIG allocated cash from the DIB to pay down the AIA SPV Preferred Interests. In exchange, AIG's remaining interest in ML III and the future proceeds from the cash held in escrow to secure indemnities provided to MetLife were allocated to the MIP. During the third quarter of 2012, the DIB received approximately $8.5 billion in distributions from the FRBNY's auctions of ML III assets.
In September 2012, a portion of AIA ordinary shares were allocated to the DIB by AIG after the AIA SPV, a wholly owned subsidiary of AIG, distributed those shares to AIG in a dividend.
From time to time, AIG may utilize cash allocated to the DIB that is not required to meet the risk target, for general corporate purposes unrelated to the DIB.
Collateral posted by operations included in the DIB to third parties was $4.6 billion and $5.1 billion at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. This collateral primarily consists of securities of the U.S. government and government sponsored entities and generally cannot be repledged or resold by the counterparties.
AIG maintains credit facilities as potential sources of liquidity for general corporate purposes. Currently, AIG and ILFC maintain committed, revolving credit facilities, including a facility that provides for the issuance of letters of credit, summarized in the following table for general corporate purposes and for letter of credit issuance. AIG currently expects to replace or extend these credit facilities on or prior to their expiration, although no assurance can
145
be given that these facilities will be replaced on favorable terms or at all. All facilities, except for ILFC's four-year AeroTurbine syndicated credit facility maturing December 2015, are unsecured.

On October 5, 2012, AIG terminated the previously outstanding AIG $1.5 billion 364-Day syndicated credit facility and amended and restated the four-year syndicated credit facility that was entered into in October 2011 (the Previous Facility). The amended and restated four-year syndicated credit facility (the Four-Year Facility) provides for $4.0 billion of revolving loans (increased from $3.0 billion in the Previous Facility), which includes a $2.0 billion letter of credit sublimit. The approximately $1.0 billion of previously issued letters of credit under the Previous Facility were rolled into the letter of credit sublimit within the Four-Year Facility, so that a total of approximately $3.0 billion remains available under this facility, of which approximately $1.0 billion remains available for letters of credit. AIG expects that it may draw down on the Four-Year Facility from time to time, and may use the proceeds for general corporate purposes.
AIG's ability to borrow under the Four-Year Facility is not contingent on its credit ratings. However, AIG's ability to borrow under this facility is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain legal, operating, administrative and financial covenants and other requirements contained in the facility, including covenants relating to AIG's maintenance of a specified total consolidated net worth and total consolidated debt to total consolidated capitalization. Failure to satisfy these and other requirements contained in the Four-Year Facility would restrict AIG's access to the Four-Year Facility and, consequently, could have a material adverse effect on AIG's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
ILFC's three-year credit facility, which became effective on October 9, 2012, contains customary events of default and restrictive financial covenants that, among other things, requires ILFC to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum ratio of consolidated indebtedness to shareholder's equity. This facility replaced ILFC's previous three-year credit facility that was scheduled to expire in January 2014 and was terminated on October 9, 2012. ILFC is a guarantor for a four-year credit facility entered into by AeroTurbine, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ILFC, whose assets are pledged as security for the outstanding amount. In February 2012, ILFC increased AeroTurbine's facility by $95 million to $430 million.
Contingent Liquidity Facilities
AIG has access to contingent liquidity facilities of up to $1 billion as potential sources of liquidity for general corporate purposes:
146
AIG currently does not intend to enter into any put option agreements under the 2011 Contingent Liquidity Facility. If AIG does not request to enter into such put option agreements by November 9, 2012, then AIG's ability to issue any senior debt to the financial institution will expire and the 2011 Contingent Liquidity Facility will effectively be terminated.
AIG's ability to borrow under these facilities is not contingent on its credit ratings.

At September 30, 2012, the fair value derivative liability was $2.2 billion, relating to the super senior multi-sector CDO credit default swap portfolio. Due to the long-term maturities of these credit default swaps, AIG is unable to make reasonable estimates of the periods during which any payments would be made. At September 30, 2012, collateral posted with respect to these swaps was $1.8 billion.

Securities Financing
At December 31, 2011, the fair value of securities transferred under repurchase agreements accounted for as sales was $2.1 billion and the related cash collateral obtained was $1.6 billion. At September 30, 2012, there were no securities transferred under repurchase agreements accounted for as sales and no related cash collateral obtained. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the modification of the criteria for determining whether securities transferred under repurchase agreements are accounted for as sales.
Arrangements with Variable Interest Entities
While AIG enters into various arrangements with variable interest entities (VIEs) in the normal course of business, AIG's involvement with VIEs is primarily as a passive investor in fixed maturities (rated and unrated) and equity interests issued by VIEs. AIG consolidates a VIE when it is the primary beneficiary of the entity. For a further discussion of AIG's involvement with VIEs, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The cost and availability of unsecured financing for AIG and its subsidiaries are generally dependent on their short- and long-term debt ratings. The following table presents the credit ratings of AIG and certain of its subsidiaries as of October 26, 2012. In parentheses, following the initial occurrence in the table of each rating, is an indication of that rating's relative rank within the agency's rating categories. That ranking refers only to the generic or major rating category and not to the modifiers appended to the rating by the rating agencies to denote relative position within such generic or major category.

These credit ratings are current opinions of the rating agencies. As such, they may be changed, suspended or withdrawn at any time by the rating agencies as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, information or based on other circumstances. Ratings may also be withdrawn at AIG management's request. This discussion of ratings is not a complete list of ratings of AIG and its subsidiaries.
"Ratings triggers" have been defined by one independent rating agency to include clauses or agreements the outcome of which depends upon the level of ratings maintained by one or more rating agencies. "Ratings triggers" generally relate to events that (i) could result in the termination or limitation of credit availability, or require accelerated repayment, (ii) could result in the termination of business contracts or (iii) could require a company to post collateral for the benefit of counterparties.
Adverse ratings actions regarding AIG's long-term debt ratings by the major rating agencies would require AIGFP to post additional collateral payments pursuant to, and/or permit the termination of, derivative transactions to which AIGFP is a party, which could adversely affect AIG's business, its consolidated results of operations in a reporting period or its liquidity. Credit ratings estimate a company's ability to meet its obligations and may directly affect the cost and availability to that company of financing. In the event of a further downgrade of AIG's long-term senior debt ratings, AIGFP would be required to post additional collateral, and certain of AIGFP's counterparties would be permitted to elect early termination of contracts.
The actual amount of collateral required to be posted to counterparties in the event of such downgrades, or the aggregate amount of payments that AIG could be required to make, depends on market conditions, the fair value of outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevailing at the time of the downgrade.
For a discussion of the effects of downgrades in the financial strength ratings of AIG's insurance companies or AIG's credit ratings, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the 2011 Annual Report.

Market Conditions
AIG's investments and investment strategies were affected by the following conditions in the third quarter of 2012:
AIG's investment strategies are tailored to the specific business needs of each operating unit. The investment objectives are driven by the business model for each of the businesses: general insurance, life insurance, retirement services and the Direct Investment book. The primary objectives are generation of investment income, preservation of capital, liquidity management and growth of surplus to support the insurance products.
At the local operating unit level, investment strategies are based on considerations that include the local market, general market conditions, liability duration and cash flow characteristics, rating agency and regulatory capital considerations, legal investment limitations, tax optimization and diversification. The majority of assets backing insurance liabilities at AIG consist of intermediate and long duration fixed maturity securities.
An overview of investment activities during the first nine months of 2012 follows:
152
Net investment income and unrealized and realized gains and losses are discussed under Consolidated Results.
Credit Ratings
At September 30, 2012, approximately 88 percent of fixed maturity securities were held by AIG's domestic entities. Approximately 18 percent of such securities were rated AAA by one or more of the principal rating agencies, and approximately 13 percent were rated below investment grade or not rated. AIG's investment decision process relies primarily on internally generated fundamental analysis and internal risk ratings. Third-party rating services' ratings and opinions provide one source of independent perspective for consideration in the internal analysis.
A significant portion of AIG's foreign entities fixed maturity securities portfolio is rated by Moody's, S&P or similar foreign rating services. Rating services are not available for some foreign issued securities. AIG's Credit Risk Management department closely reviews the credit quality of the foreign portfolio's non-rated fixed maturity securities. At September 30, 2012, approximately 21 percent of such investments were either rated AAA or, on the basis of AIG's internal analysis, were equivalent from a credit standpoint to securities rated AAA, and approximately 4 percent were rated below investment grade or not rated at that date. Approximately 50 percent of the foreign entities' fixed maturity securities portfolio is comprised of sovereign fixed maturity securities supporting policy liabilities in the country of issuance.
With respect to AIG's fixed maturity investments, the credit ratings in the table below and in subsequent tables reflect: (a) a composite of the ratings of the three major rating agencies, or when agency ratings are not available, the rating assigned by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Securities Valuations Office (SVO) (over 99 percent of total fixed maturity investments), or (b) AIG's equivalent internal ratings when these investments have not been rated by any of the major rating agencies or the NAIC. The "Non-rated" category in those tables consists of fixed maturity investments that have not been rated by any of the major rating agencies, the NAIC or AIG, and represents primarily AIG's interest in ML III.
See Enterprise Risk Management herein for a discussion of credit risks associated with Investments.

(a) Commencing in the second quarter of 2011, AIG began purchasing certain RMBSs that had experienced deterioration in credit quality since their origination. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Investments Purchased Credit Impaired (PCI) Securities, for additional discussion.
(b) The weighted average expected life was 5 years and 6 years at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
AIG's underwriting practices for investing in RMBS, other asset-backed securities and CDOs take into consideration the quality of the originator, the manager, the servicer, security credit ratings, underlying characteristics of the mortgages, borrower characteristics, and the level of credit enhancement in the transaction.

The majority of AIG's investments in CMBS are in tranches that contain substantial protection features through collateral subordination. As indicated in the tables, downgrades have occurred on many CMBS holdings.

AIA Investment
On March 7, 2012, AIG sold approximately 1.72 billion ordinary shares of AIA for gross cash proceeds of approximately $6.0 billion. On September 11, 2012, AIG sold approximately 600 million ordinary shares of AIA for gross proceeds of approximately $2.0 billion. As a result of these sales, AIG's retained interest in AIA decreased from approximately 33 percent, with a total carrying value of $12.4 billion at December 31, 2011, to approximately 14 percent with a total carrying value of $6.1 billion at September 30, 2012. This investment is recorded in Other invested assets and accounted for under the fair value option.
In accordance with an agreement with the underwriters of the September 2012 sale of AIA ordinary shares, AIG may not sell or hedge the remaining AIA ordinary shares prior to December 10, 2012. After that time, AIG expects to monetize its investment in AIA ordinary shares from time to time depending on market conditions, AIG's liquidity position and opportunities for cash redeployment. The value of the AIA ordinary shares will continue to fluctuate for as long as they remain in AIG's portfolio. The value of these shares will rise and fall in response to various factors beyond the control of AIG, including the business and financial performance of AIA.

* Includes other-than-temporary impairment charges on private equity funds, hedge funds and direct private equity investments.
To determine other-than-temporary impairments, AIG uses fundamental credit analyses of individual securities without regard to rating agency ratings. Based on this analysis, AIG expects to receive cash flows sufficient to cover the amortized cost of all below investment grade securities for which credit impairments were not recognized.
AIG recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges in the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 related to:
165
There was no significant impact to AIG's consolidated financial condition or results of operations from other-than-temporary impairment charges for any one single credit. Also, no individual other-than-temporary impairment charge exceeded 0.10 percent of Total equity in either of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
In periods subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment charge for available for sale fixed maturity securities that is not foreign exchange related, AIG generally prospectively accretes into earnings the difference between the new amortized cost and the expected undiscounted recovery value over the remaining life of the security. The amounts of accretion recognized in earnings were $215 million and $141 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $668 million and $355 million, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For a discussion of AIG's other-than-temporary impairment accounting policy, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Annual Report.

(e) Item count is by CUSIP by subsidiary.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, net unrealized gains related to fixed maturity and equity securities increased by $9.5 billion primarily resulting from the narrowing of credit spreads.
As of September 30, 2012, the majority of AIG's fixed maturity investments in an unrealized loss position of more than 50 percent for 12 months or more consisted of the unrealized loss of $158 million related to CMBS and RMBS securities originally rated investment grade that are floating rate or that have low fixed coupons relative to current market yields. A total of 2 securities with an amortized cost of $12 million and a net unrealized loss of $10 million are still investment grade. As part of its credit evaluation procedures applied to these and other securities, AIG considers
166
the nature of both the specific securities and the market conditions for those securities. For most security types supported by real estate-related assets, current market yields continue to be higher than the yields were at the respective issuance dates of the securities. This is largely due to investors demanding additional yield premium for securities whose performance is closely linked to the commercial and residential real estate sectors. In addition, for floating rate securities, persistently low LIBOR levels continue to make these securities less attractive.
AIG believes that the lack of demand for commercial and residential real estate collateral-based securities, low contractual coupons and interest rate spreads, and the deterioration in the level of collateral support due to real estate market conditions are the primary reasons for these securities trading at significant price discounts. Based on its analysis, and taking into account the level of subordination below these securities, AIG continues to believe that the expected cash flows from these securities will be sufficient to recover the amortized cost of its investment. AIG continues to monitor these positions for potential credit impairments that could result from further deterioration in commercial and residential real estate fundamentals.
See also Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of AIG's investment portfolio.
Risk management is a key element of AIG's approach to corporate governance. AIG has an integrated process for managing risks throughout the organization. The Board has oversight responsibility for the management of risk. AIG's ERM Department supervises and integrates the risk management functions in each of AIG's major business units, providing senior management with a consolidated view on the firm's major risk positions. Within each business unit, senior leaders and executives approve risk-taking policies and targeted risk tolerance within the framework provided by ERM.
For a complete discussion of AIG's risk management program, see Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Enterprise Risk Management in the 2011 Annual Report.
AIG defines its aggregate credit exposures to a counterparty as the sum of its fixed maturity securities, equity securities, loans, leases, reinsurance recoverables, derivatives (fair value changes and potential future exposure), deposits, reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, collateral extended to counterparties, commercial bank letters of credit received as collateral, guarantees, credit default swaps sold, and the specified credit equivalent exposures to certain insurance products which embody credit risk. Therefore, AIG's reported credit exposures to a counterparty reflect available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investments, trading securities, derivative exposures, insurance credit and any other counterparty credit exposures.
AIG monitors and controls its company-wide credit risk concentrations and attempts to avoid unwanted or excessive risk accumulations, whether funded or unfunded. To minimize the level of credit risk in certain circumstances, AIG may require third-party guarantees, reinsurance or collateral, such as letters of credit and trust collateral accounts. These guarantees, reinsurance recoverables, letters of credit and trust collateral accounts are also treated as credit exposure and are added to AIG's risk concentration exposure data.
AIG's single largest credit exposure, the U.S. Government, was 25 percent of Total equity at September 30, 2012 compared to 30 percent at December 31, 2011. Exposure to the U.S. Government primarily includes credit exposure related to U.S. Treasury and government agency securities and to direct and guaranteed exposures to U.S. government-sponsored entities, primarily the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) based upon their U.S. Government conservatorship. The reduction in exposure was primarily related to U.S. government-sponsored entities. Based on AIG's internal risk ratings, at September 30, 2012, AIG's largest below investment grade-rated credit exposure, apart from ILFC leasing arrangements secured by aircraft with airlines having below investment grade ratings, was related to a non-financial corporate counterparty and that exposure was 0.6 percent of Total equity at September 30, 2012, compared to 0.5 percent at December 31, 2011.
167
AIG's single largest industry credit exposure at September 30, 2012 was to the global financial institutions sector, which includes banks and finance companies, securities firms, and insurance and reinsurance companies, many of which can be highly correlated at times of market stress. As of September 30, 2012, credit exposure to this sector was $87.1 billion, or 85 percent of Total equity compared to 106 percent at December 31, 2011.
At September 30, 2012:
Of the $87.1 billion aggregate financial exposure, $30.0 billion was to United Kingdom and European-based financial institutions.

Out of a total of $4.3 billion of fixed maturity securities issued by banks in the Euro-Zone countries, AIG's subordinated debt holdings and Tier 1 and preference share securities in these banks totaled $972 million and $334 million, respectively, at September 30, 2012. These exposures were predominantly to the largest banks in those countries.

(a) Fixed maturity securities primarily includes available for sale and trading securities reported at fair value and single name CDS protection sold at notional contract value.
(b) Secured/government primarily includes covered bonds and securities issued by government-sponsored entities or debt guaranteed by a government.
Approximately 80 percent of the fixed maturity securities of United Kingdom and European non-financial institutions held by AIG were considered investment grade based on AIG's internal ratings. Apart from ILFC equipment leased under operating leases to airlines, non-financial institution corporate exposure to Euro-Zone countries totaled $18.7 billion, with France representing the largest single country exposure of $6.5 billion. $10.6 billion of the Euro-Zone exposures were fixed maturity securities of which $2.5 billion was in France. Approximately two-thirds of the French exposures were to issuers in the oil and gas, rail, utilities and telecommunications industries. Euro-Zone fixed maturity securities represented 29 percent of total non-financial institution corporate exposure in the United Kingdom and Europe. Euro-Zone periphery non-financial institution corporate exposures ($5.1 billion) are heavily weighted towards large multinational corporations or issuers in relatively stable industries, such as regulated utilities (25 percent), telecommunications (17 percent), and oil and gas (9 percent).

(a) Fixed maturity securities primarily include available-for-sale securities, with $246 million in trading securities.
(b) United Kingdom and European exposure also consists of $308 million of subordinated debt, primarily in the United Kingdom and Spain; bank loans of $85 million; and preferred equity securities of $40 million.
(c) Other primarily consists of insurance related products, including captive fronting programs ($7.5 billion), trade credit insurance ($3.4 billion) and surety insurance ($2.0 billion).
AIG also had credit exposures to several European governments whose ratings have been downgraded or placed under review in the recent past by one or more of the major rating agencies. These downgrades occurred mostly in countries in the Euro-Zone periphery (Spain, Italy and Portugal) where AIG's credit exposures totaled $266 million at September 30, 2012. The downgrades primarily reflect large government budget deficits, rising government debt-to-GDP ratios and large financing requirements of these sovereigns, which have given rise to widening credit spreads and difficult financing conditions. These credit exposures primarily included available-for-sale and trading securities (at fair value) issued by these governments. AIG had no direct or guaranteed credit exposure to the governments of Greece or Ireland.
AIG's aggregate credit exposure to the government of Japan was $9.3 billion at September 30, 2012. A significant majority of these securities were held in the investment portfolios of AIG's Japanese insurance operations.

AIG also had United Kingdom and European structured product exposures (largely residential mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities) totaling $6.8 billion at September 30, 2012. United Kingdom structured products accounted for $4 billion, or 59 percent, of these exposures, while the Netherlands and Germany comprised 21 percent and 2 percent, respectively. Structured product exposures to the Euro-Zone periphery accounted for 2 percent of the total. Approximately 90 percent of the United Kingdom and European structured products exposures were rated A or better at September 30, 2012 based on external rating agency ratings.
In addition, AIG had commercial real estate-related net equity investments in Europe totaling $478 million and related unfunded commitments of $156 million.
ILFC's fleet includes aircraft on operating leases to United Kingdom and European airlines with a net book value of approximately $11.9 billion, of which approximately $2.7 billion, or 22 percent, are aircraft on lease to carriers based in the five Euro-Zone periphery countries.
AIG actively monitors its European credit exposures, especially those exposures to issuers in the Euro-Zone periphery, and uses various stress assumptions to identify issuers and securities warranting review by senior management and to determine whether mitigating actions should be taken. Mitigating actions in these areas to date have largely included non-renewal of maturing exposures and sales and tenders of securities. To date, AIG's purchases of credit default swap protection have been minimal. The financial condition of issuers is periodically evaluated, and internal risk ratings are adjusted as circumstances warrant. The result of these continuing reviews has led AIG to believe that its combined credit risk exposures to sovereign governments, financial institutions and non-financial corporations in the Euro-Zone are manageable risks given the type and size of exposure and the credit quality and size of the issuers.
172
AIG also monitors its aggregate cross-border exposures by country and regional group of countries. AIG includes in its cross-border exposures both aggregated cross-border credit exposures to unrelated third parties and its cross-border investments in its own international subsidiaries. Five countries had cross-border exposures in excess of 10 percent of Total equity at September 30, 2012 compared to six countries at December 31, 2011. Based on AIG's internal risk ratings, at September 30, 2012, three countries were rated AAA and two were rated AA. The two largest cross-border exposures were to the United Kingdom and France.
AIG also has a risk concentration, primarily through the investment portfolios of its insurance companies, in the U.S. municipal sector. A majority of these securities were held in available-for-sale portfolios of AIG's domestic property and casualty insurance companies. See Investments Available for Sale Investments herein for further details. AIG had $606 million of additional exposure to the municipal sector outside of its insurance company portfolios at September 30, 2012, compared to $892 million at December 31, 2011. These exposures consisted of AIGFP derivatives and trading securities (at fair value) and exposure related to other insurance and financial services operations.
AIG reviews regularly concentration reports in all categories listed above as well as credit trends by risk ratings and credit spreads. AIG periodically adjusts limits and reviews exposures for risk mitigation to provide reasonable assurance that it does not incur excessive levels of credit risk and that AIG's credit risk profile is properly calibrated across business units.

Exposures to yield curves include assets that are directly sensitive to yield curve movements, such as fixed maturity securities, loans, finance receivables, receivables from aircraft equipment under leases, and short-term investments (excluding consolidated separate account assets). Exposures to equity and alternative investment prices include investments in common stocks, preferred stocks, mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity funds, commercial real estate and real estate funds (excluding consolidated separate account assets and consolidated managed partnerships and funds). Exposures to foreign currency exchange rates reflect AIG's consolidated non-U.S. dollar net capital investments on a GAAP basis.

and changes in Canadian-dollar denominated unearned premium reserves of $378 million. This was partially offset by a net decrease across currencies of $67 million.
The above sensitivities of a 100 basis point increase in yield curves, a 20 percent decline in equities and alternative assets, and a 10 percent depreciation of all foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar were chosen solely for illustrative purposes. The selection of these specific events should not be construed as a prediction, but only as a demonstration of the potential effects of such events. These scenarios should not be construed as the only risks AIG faces; these events are shown as an indication of several possible losses AIG could experience. In addition, losses from these and other risks could be materially higher than illustrated. The sensitivity factors are the same as those used in the 2011 Annual Report.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment.
The accounting policies that AIG believes are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions, which are critical accounting estimates, are related to the determination of:
These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters that may be highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, AIG's consolidated financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected. The following is a discussion of 2012 updates to Critical Accounting Estimates included in the 2011 Annual Report. For a complete discussion of AIG's critical accounting estimates, see the 2011 Annual Report.
Recoverability of Deferred Tax Asset:
The evaluation of the recoverability of AIG's deferred tax asset and the need for a valuation allowance requires AIG to weigh all positive and negative evidence to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The more negative evidence that exists, the more positive evidence is necessary and the more difficult it is to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed.
See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion about AIG's framework for assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax asset.
Recoverability of Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs Short-Duration (AIG Property Casualty):
Recoverability of DAC is based on the current terms and profitability of the underlying insurance contracts. Policy acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related premiums written are earned, generally 12 months for short-duration insurance contracts. DAC is grouped consistent with the manner in which the insurance contracts are acquired, serviced and measured for profitability and is reviewed for recoverability based on the profitability of the underlying insurance contracts.
For short-duration insurance contracts, starting on January 1, 2012, AIG elected to include anticipated investment income in its determination of whether the deferred policy acquisition costs are recoverable. AIG believes the inclusion of anticipated investment income in the recoverability analysis is a preferable accounting policy because it
174
includes in the recoverability analysis the fact that there is a timing difference between when the premiums are collected and in turn invested and when the losses and related expenses are paid. This is considered a change in accounting principle that requires retrospective application to all periods presented. Because AIG historically has not recorded any premium deficiency on its short-duration insurance contracts even without the inclusion of anticipated investment income, there were no changes to the historical financial statements for the change in accounting principle.
AIG assesses the recoverability of its DAC on an annual basis or more frequently if circumstances indicate an impairment may have occurred. This assessment is performed by comparing recorded net unearned premium and anticipated investment income on inforce business to the sum of expected claims, claims adjustment expenses, anticipated policy maintenance costs and unamortized DAC. If the sum of these costs exceeds the amount of recorded net unearned premium and anticipated investment income, the excess is recognized as an offset against the asset established for DAC. This offset is referred to as a premium deficiency charge. Increases in expected claims and claims adjustment expenses can have a significant impact on the likelihood and amount of a premium deficiency charge. Management tested the recoverability of DAC and determined that recorded net unearned premiums and anticipated investment income for AIG Property Casualty exceeded the sum of these costs at September 30, 2012.
On January 1, 2012, AIG adopted an accounting standard that amends the accounting for costs incurred by insurance companies that can be capitalized in connection with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. The adoption of this standard resulted in a $5.1 billion decrease in the January 1, 2012 consolidated DAC balance.
Fair Value Measurements of Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities:
See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the measurement of fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities and AIG's accounting policy for the incorporation of credit risk in fair value measurements.

Level 3 Assets and Liabilities
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are measured and classified in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes consisting of three "levels" based on the observability of inputs available in the marketplace used to measure the fair value. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The following table presents the classification of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 3:

Liabilities |

175
Level 3 fair value measurements are based on valuation techniques that use at least one significant input that is unobservable. AIG considers unobservable inputs to be those for which market data is not available and that are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use when valuing the asset or liability. AIG's assessment of the significance of a particular unobservable input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment.
AIG classifies fair value measurements for certain assets and liabilities as Level 3 when they require significant unobservable inputs in their valuation, including contractual terms, prices and rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment rates, default rates, mortality rates and correlations of such inputs.
Super Senior Credit Default Swap Portfolio
The entities included in Global Capital Markets operations wrote credit protection on the super senior risk layer of collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), multi-sector CDOs and diversified portfolios of corporate debt, and prime residential mortgages. In these transactions, AIG is at risk of credit performance on the super senior risk layer related to such assets. To a lesser extent, those entities also wrote protection on tranches below the super senior risk layer, primarily in respect of regulatory capital relief transactions.

Regulatory Capital Portfolio
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, $3.1 billion in net notional amount of regulatory capital CDSs were terminated or matured at no cost. The expected maturity of this portfolio continues to be monitored. As of September 30, 2012, the estimated weighted average expected maturity of the portfolio was less than one year. There have been no requirements to make any payments as part of terminations of super senior regulatory capital CDSs initiated by counterparties. The regulatory benefit of these transactions for financial institution counterparties was generally derived from Basel I. In December 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision finalized Basel III, which, when fully implemented, may reduce or eliminate the regulatory benefits to certain counterparties for these transactions, and this may reduce the period of time that such counterparties are expected to hold the positions. In prior years, it had been expected that financial institution counterparties would complete a transition from Basel I to an intermediate standard known as Basel II, which could have had similar effects on the benefits of these transactions, at the end of 2009. Basel III has now superseded Basel II, but the details of its implementation by the various European Central Banking districts have not been finalized. Should certain counterparties continue to receive favorable regulatory capital benefits from these transactions, those counterparties may not exercise their options to terminate the transactions in the expected time frame.
177
In light of early termination experience to date and after analyses of other market data, to the extent deemed relevant and available, AIG determined that there was no unrealized market valuation adjustment for any of the transactions in this regulatory capital relief portfolio for 2012 other than for transactions where Global Capital Markets believes the counterparty is no longer using the transaction to obtain regulatory capital relief. Although AIG believes the value of contractual fees receivable on these transactions through maturity exceeds the economic benefits of any potential payments to the counterparties, the counterparties' early termination rights, and the expectation that such rights will be exercised, preclude the recognition of a derivative asset for these transactions.
Arbitrage Portfolio
A portion of the super senior credit default swaps as of September 30, 2012 are arbitrage-motivated transactions written on multi-sector CDOs or designated pools of investment grade senior unsecured corporate debt or CLOs.
Multi-Sector CDOs

Corporate Debt/CLOs
The corporate arbitrage portfolio consists principally of CDS written on portfolios of corporate obligations that were generally rated investment grade at the inception of the CDS. These CDS transactions require cash settlement. This portfolio also includes CDS with a net notional amount of $1.2 billion written on the senior part of the capital structure of CLOs, which require physical settlement.
Valuation Sensitivity Arbitrage Portfolio
Multi-Sector CDOs
AIG utilizes sensitivity analyses that estimate the effects of using alternative pricing and other key inputs on AIG's calculation of the unrealized market valuation loss related to the super senior credit default swap portfolio. While AIG believes that the ranges used in these analyses are reasonable, given the current difficult market conditions, AIG is unable to predict which of the scenarios is most likely to occur. As recent experience demonstrates, actual results in any period are likely to vary, perhaps materially, from the modeled scenarios, and there can be no assurance that the unrealized market valuation loss related to the super senior credit default swap portfolio will be consistent with any of the sensitivity analyses. On average, prices for CDOs increased during 2012. Further, it is difficult to extrapolate future experience based on current market conditions.
178
For the purposes of estimating sensitivities for the super senior multi-sector CDO credit default swap portfolio, the change in valuation derived using the Binomial Expansion Technique (BET) model is used to estimate the change in the fair value of the derivative liability. Out of the total $4.4 billion net notional amount of CDS written on multi-sector CDOs outstanding at September 30, 2012, a BET value is available for $2.8 billion net notional amount. No BET value is determined for $1.6 billion of CDS written on European multi-sector CDOs as prices on the underlying securities held by the CDOs are not provided by collateral managers; instead these CDS are valued using counterparty prices. Therefore, sensitivities disclosed below apply only to the net notional amount of $2.8 billion.
The most significant assumption used in the BET model is the estimated price of the securities within the CDO collateral pools. If the actual price of the securities within the collateral pools differs from the price used in estimating the fair value of the super senior credit default swap portfolio, there is potential for material variation in the fair value estimate. Any declines in the value of the underlying collateral securities held by a CDO will similarly affect the value of the super senior CDO securities. While the models attempt to predict changes in the prices of underlying collateral securities held within a CDO, the changes are subject to actual market conditions which have proved to be highly volatile, especially given current market conditions. AIG cannot predict reasonably likely changes in the prices of the underlying collateral securities held within a CDO at this time.
The following table presents key inputs used in the BET model, and the potential increase (decrease) to the fair value of the derivative liability by ABS category at September 30, 2012 corresponding to changes in these key inputs:

These results are calculated by stressing a particular assumption independently of changes in any other assumption. No assurance can be given that the actual levels of the key inputs will not exceed, perhaps significantly, the ranges assumed by AIG for purposes of the above analysis. No assumption should be made that results calculated from the use of other changes in these key inputs can be interpolated or extrapolated from the results set forth above.
In addition to the information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, AIG's regulatory status is also discussed in Part I, Item 1. Business Regulation in the 2011 Annual Report.
AIG's operations around the world are subject to regulation by many different types of regulatory authorities, including insurance, securities, investment advisory, banking and thrift regulators in the United States and abroad.
Federal Reserve Supervision
As a result of the completion of the September 14, 2012 registered public offering of AIG Common Stock, the Department of the Treasury ceased to own a majority of the outstanding shares of AIG Common Stock, and, consequently, AIG is regulated and subject to the examination, supervision and enforcement authority and reporting
179
requirements of the FRB (as successor to the U.S. Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS)) as an SLHC. Because AIG was grandfathered as a unitary SLHC in1999, AIG generally is not restricted under existing laws as to the types of business activities in which it may engage, as long as AIG Federal Savings Bank continues to be a qualified thrift lender.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) dissolved the OTS and transferred its functions and personnel to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the FRB. Supervision of federal savings associations, such as AIG Federal Savings Bank, has been transferred to the OCC, and supervision of SLHCs has been transferred to the FRB. Elements of Dodd-Frank also align the regulation of SLHCs more closely to that of bank holding companies, and the FRB is taking additional steps to do so under both Dodd-Frank and the FRB's supervisory and rulemaking authority over SLHCs. Changes mandated by Dodd-Frank include directing the FRB to promulgate minimum capital requirements for SLHCs. In addition, the FRB, as the primary supervisor for SLHC's has the authority to impose enhanced prudential standards on SLHCs.
The FRB, OCC and FDIC have proposed revised minimum leverage and risk-based capital requirements that would apply to all bank holding companies and SLHCs, as well as to insured depository institutions, such as AIG Federal Savings Bank. As required by Dodd-Frank, the FRB has also proposed enhanced prudential standards for large bank holding company and nonbank SIFIs and has stated its intention to propose enhanced prudential standards for SLHCs pursuant to the Home Owners' Loan Act. The proposed regulations are described below. AIG cannot predict whether the capital regulations will be adopted as proposed or what enhanced prudential standards the FRB will promulgate for SLHCs, either generally or as applicable to insurance businesses. Further, AIG cannot predict how the FRB will exercise general supervisory authority over AIG, although the FRB could, as a prudential matter, for example, limit AIG's ability to pay dividends, repurchase shares of its common stock or acquire or enter into other businesses. AIG cannot predict with certainty the requirements of the regulations ultimately adopted or how or whether Dodd-Frank and such regulations will affect the financial markets generally, impact AIG's businesses, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, or require AIG to raise additional capital or result in a downgrade of AIG's credit ratings.
In addition, Dodd-Frank requires SIFIs to be subject to regulation, examination and supervision by the FRB (including minimum leverage and risk-based capital requirements). Nonbank SIFIs will be designated by the Financial Stability Oversight Council (Council) created by Dodd-Frank. If AIG is designated as a SIFI, AIG will be regulated by the FRB both in that capacity and in its capacity as an SLHC. The regulations applicable to SIFIs and to SLHCs, when all have been adopted as final rules, may differ materially from each other. In October 2012, AIG received a notice that it is under consideration by the Council for a proposed determination that it is a SIFI. The notice stated that AIG will be reviewed in Stage 3 of the SIFI determination process described in the Council's interpretive guidance for nonbank financial company determinations.
Volcker Rule
In July 2012, Section 619 of Dodd-Frank, referred to as the "Volcker Rule," became effective though the final rule implementing Section 619 has not yet been released. Under the proposed rule released in October 2011, if AIG continues to control AIG Federal Savings Bank, AIG and its affiliates are considered banking entities for purposes of the rule and, after the rule's conformance date of July 21, 2014, would be prohibited from "proprietary trading" and sponsoring or investing in "covered funds," subject to the rule's exceptions. Even if AIG no longer controlled an insured depository institution, it could be subject to restrictions on these activities if it is designated as a SIFI, as Dodd-Frank authorizes the FRB to subject SIFIs to capital requirements, quantitative limits or other restrictions if they engage in activities prohibited for banking entities under the Volcker Rule. The Volcker Rule, as proposed, contains an exemption for proprietary trading by insurance companies for their general account, but the final breadth and scope of this exemption is uncertain.
Capital Requirements
Before Dodd-Frank, the OTS did not subject SLHCs to consolidated regulatory capital requirements. Section 171 of Dodd-Frank, the so-called "Collins Amendment," subjects SLHCs to capital requirements that are not less stringent than the requirements generally applicable to insured depository institutions or quantitatively lower than the requirements in effect for insured depository institutions as of July 21, 2010.
180
The regulatory capital requirements currently applicable to insured depository institutions, such as AIG Federal Savings Bank, are computed in accordance with the U.S. federal banking agencies' generally applicable risk-based capital requirements, which are based on accords established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel Committee). These accords have evolved over time, and are referred to as Basel I, Basel II and Basel III.
In June 2012, the FRB and the other federal banking agencies proposed modifications to their existing capital adequacy regulations to address both the Collins Amendment and Basel III. The FRB would apply these revised capital adequacy regulations to SLHCs upon the effective date of the regulations, which is proposed to be January 1, 2013, matching the international Basel III phase-in calendar. The federal banking agencies have also proposed to replace their existing Basel I-based rules for determining risk weighted assets (RWAs), a component of capital ratios, with a Basel II-based version to make them more risk-sensitive. This proposal to implement the Basel II standardized approach (with modifications) would take effect on January 1, 2015.
Under the Collins Amendment and the proposed rules, the Basel II standardized approach or, prior to the change, current bank capital rules, would serve as a floor for determining RWAs and resulting capital ratios for institutions subject to the advanced approaches. Under the proposed rules, AIG would be subject to the advanced approaches and would be required to begin their implementation, subject to a parallel run period.
If the revised capital adequacy rules are adopted as proposed, they will become effective on January 1, 2013, and fully phased in by January 1, 2019. On January 1, 2019, the rules will require:
The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of Tier 1 common equity to RWAs above the minimum but below the conservation buffer (or below the combined capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer, when and if the latter is applied) will face progressive constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and certain executive compensation based on the amount of the shortfall. As proposed, the capital buffer would phase in at 0.625% per year beginning on January 1, 2016 until it reaches its 2.5% fully phased in level on January 1, 2019.
Also in June 2012, the FRB and the other federal banking agencies issued revised final rules that modify their market risk regulatory capital requirements for banking institutions with significant trading activities. These modifications are designed to address the adjustments to the market risk regulatory capital framework that were announced by the Basel Committee in June 2010 (referred to as "Basel II.5"), as well as the prohibition on the use of external credit ratings, as required by Dodd-Frank. These changes will also be implemented in January 2013 and will result in increased regulatory capital requirements for market risk.
If the rules are adopted as proposed, AIG will be required to meet the following initial minimum capital ratios on January 1, 2013:
181
Although AIG is still considering the full impact of these capital requirements, AIG believes that, if the FRB's proposed rules become effective and apply to AIG as an SLHC, it will meet all revised minimum capital requirements as of January 1, 2013.
The Basel III final framework provides for a number of new deductions from and adjustments to Tier 1 common equity, which will begin on January 1, 2014 and will be phased-in over a five-year period (20% per year). The Basel Committee has also published its final provisions for assessing the global systemic importance of banking institutions and the range of additional Tier 1 common equity that should be maintained by banking institutions deemed to be globally systemically important. The additional capital for these institutions would initially range from 1% to 2.5% of Tier 1 common equity and could be as much as 3.5%. AIG was not one of the institutions identified by the Financial Stability Board (established at the direction of the leaders of the Group of 20) as a global systemically important bank under the Basel Committee's methodology. The final determination of whether an institution will be classified as a global systemically important bank and the calculation of the required additional capital amount is expected to be disclosed by the Basel Committee no later than November 2014 based on data through the end of 2013. The International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) has proposed an assessment methodology for identifying global systemically important insurance companies, which could also be subject to additional capital requirements, and has committed to make its final recommendations to the Financing Stability Board by March 2013.
In June 2012, the Basel Committee also released a consultation paper proposing approaches for calculating incremental capital requirements for domestic systemically important banks. The recommendation is complementary to the framework outlined above for global systemically important banks, but is more principles-based in order to provide an appropriate degree of national discretion. These proposals may impact the regulatory capital requirements of AIG, but the exact impact will depend on the final framework and how it is implemented by the U.S. federal banking agencies, both in general and as specifically applied to insurance companies.
In May 2012, the Basel Committee released a consultation paper proposing a "Fundamental Review of the Trading Book." The paper proposes a series of comprehensive changes to the regulatory capital requirements for market risk which, if enacted by the U.S. federal banking agencies, would likely replace the Basel II.5 requirements that, as outlined above, become effective in January 2013.
Heightened Prudential Standards
In January 2012, the FRB published for public comment a notice of proposed rulemaking implementing the enhanced prudential standards and early remediation requirements mandated by Dodd-Frank that will apply to large bank holding companies and SIFIs. If those rules are adopted in the form proposed and AIG is designated as a SIFI, AIG would be required, among other things,
182
In addition, certain of Dodd-Frank's stress test requirements will separately apply to AIG as an SLHC irrespective of whether AIG is designated as a SIFI.
The notice of proposed rulemaking did not include the requirements that will apply to SLHCs, which will be proposed in a separate notice. AIG cannot predict whether there will be significant differences between the requirements for large bank holding companies and SIFIs and the requirements for SLHCs, or whether the requirements for SLHCs will have specific provisions for companies in the insurance business.
Other Effects of Dodd-Frank
In addition, Dodd-Frank will also have the following effects on AIG:
In addition to the adoption of Dodd-Frank in the United States, regulators and lawmakers around the world are actively reviewing the causes of the financial crisis and taking steps to avoid similar problems in the future. The Financial Stability Board (FSB), consisting of representatives of national financial authorities of the G20 nations, has issued a series of frameworks and recommendations intended to produce significant changes in how financial companies, particularly global systemically important financial institutions, should be regulated. These frameworks and recommendations address such issues as financial group supervision, capital and solvency standards, systemic economic risk, corporate governance including compensation, and a host of related issues associated with responses to the financial crisis. The FSB has directed the IAIS to create standards relative to these areas and incorporate them within that body's Insurance Core Principles. IAIS Insurance Core Principles form the baseline threshold for how countries' financial services regulatory efforts are measured relative to the insurance sector. That measurement is made by periodic Financial Sector Assessment Program reviews conducted by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund and the reports thereon spur the development of country-specific additional or amended regulatory changes. Lawmakers and regulatory authorities in a number of jurisdictions in which AIG's subsidiaries conduct business have already begun implementing legislative and regulatory changes consistent with these recommendations, including proposals governing consolidated regulation of insurance holdings companies by the Financial Services Agency in Japan, financial and banking regulation adopted in France and compensation regulations proposed or adopted by the financial regulators in Germany and the United Kingdom Financial Services Authority. In July 2012, the IAIS released a working draft of its Common Framework for the Supervision of Internationally Active Insurance Groups, which provides for global, coordinated supervision of internationally active insurance groups (IAIGs). AIG is likely to be designated an IAIG.
AIG cannot predict whether these actions will become effective or the effect they may have on the financial markets or on AIG's business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and credit ratings.

ITEM 3. / QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Included in Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Enterprise Risk Management.
ITEM 4. / CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by AIG's management, with the participation of AIG's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of AIG's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, AIG's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that AIG's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2012.
There has been no change in AIG's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, AIG's internal control over financial reporting.

REGULATION
Our status as a savings and loan holding company and the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act will subject us to substantial additional federal regulation, either or both of which may materially and adversely affect our businesses, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and credit ratings. On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank), which effects comprehensive changes to the regulation of financial services in the United States, was signed into law. Dodd-Frank directs existing and newly-created government agencies and bodies to promulgate regulations implementing the law, an ongoing process anticipated to continue over the next few years. We cannot predict with certainty the requirements of the regulations ultimately adopted or how or whether Dodd-Frank and such regulations will affect our businesses, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, require us to raise additional capital or result in a downgrade of our credit ratings.
As a result of the completion of the September 14, 2012 registered public offering of AIG Common Stock, the Department of the Treasury ceased to own a majority of the outstanding shares of AIG Common Stock, and, consequently, AIG is regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB) and subject to its examination, supervision and enforcement authority and reporting requirements as a savings and loan holding company (SLHC). The FRB, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have proposed revised minimum leverage and risk-based capital requirements that would apply to all bank holding companies and SLHCs, as well as to insured depository institutions, such as AIG Federal Savings Bank. As a result of our regulation by the FRB as an SLHC:
In addition, under Dodd-Frank we may separately become subject to the examination, enforcement and supervisory authority of the FRB as a nonbank systemically important financial institution (SIFI). In October 2012, AIG received a notice that it is under consideration by the Financial Stability Oversight Council (Council) for a proposed determination that it is a SIFI. The notice stated that AIG will be reviewed in Stage 3 of the SIFI determination process described in the Council's interpretive guidance for nonbank financial company determinations. If we are designated as a SIFI:
185
If we are designated as a SIFI and determined to be a "grave threat" to U.S. financial stability:
The regulations applicable to SIFIs and to SLHCs, when all have been adopted as final rules, may differ materially from each other.
See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Outlook Regulation for further discussion of this potential regulation.
If we continue to control AIG Federal Savings Bank or another insured depository institution, as of July 21, 2014, we will be required to conform to the "Volcker Rule", which prohibits "proprietary trading" and the sponsoring or investing in "covered funds." The term "covered funds" includes hedge, private equity or similar funds and, in certain cases, issuers of asset backed securities if such securities have equity-like characteristics. These prohibitions could substantially impact our investment portfolios as they are currently managed. The Volcker Rule, as proposed, contains an exemption for proprietary trading by insurance companies for their general account, but the final breadth and scope of this exemption cannot be predicted. Even if AIG no longer controlled an insured depository institution, Dodd-Frank authorizes the FRB to subject SIFIs to additional capital and quantitative limitations if they engage in activities prohibited by the Volcker Rule.
In addition, Dodd-Frank establishes a new framework for regulation of over the counter (OTC) derivatives under which we may have to collateralize previously uncollateralized swaps. These additional obligations to post collateral or the costs of assignment, termination or obtaining alternative credit could have a material adverse effect on us. This new framework may also increase the cost of conducting a hedging program or have other effects materially adverse to us.
We cannot predict the requirements of the regulations ultimately adopted, the level and magnitude of supervision we may become subject to, or how Dodd-Frank and such regulations will affect the financial markets generally or our businesses, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. It is possible that the regulations adopted under Dodd-Frank and our regulation by the FRB as an SLHC could significantly alter our business practices, require us to raise additional capital, impose burdensome and costly requirements and add additional costs. Some of the regulations may also affect the perceptions of regulators, rating agencies, customers, counterparties, creditors or investors about our financial strength and could potentially affect our financing costs or result in a ratings downgrade.

ITEM 2 / UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During the third quarter of 2012, the Department of the Treasury, as the selling shareholder, closed the sale of 825,447,665 shares in the aggregate of AIG Common Stock in two separate offerings, at an average initial public offering price of $31.72 per share. In connection with these offerings, AIG's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of shares of AIG Common Stock with an aggregate purchase amount of up to $8.0 billion. AIG purchased shares of AIG Common Stock in these offerings at the initial offering prices summarized below, for an aggregate purchase amount of approximately $8.0 billion.
The following table sets forth the information with respect to purchases made by or on behalf of AIG or any "affiliated purchaser" (as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of AIG Common Stock during the three months ended September 30, 2012:
