April 5, 2006

The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of American International Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AIG”), to be held on May 17, 2006, or at any adjournment thereof.

On that date, 2,597,416,775 shares (exclusive of shares held by AIG and certain subsidiaries) of common stock, par value $2.50 per share (“AIG Common Stock”), were outstanding, each such share of AIG Common Stock having one vote.

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

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

REPORT OF THE NOMINATING AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

Overview

The role of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is to identify individuals qualified to become Board members and recommend these individuals to the Board for nomination as members of the Board and its committees, advise the Board on corporate governance matters and oversee the evaluation of the Board. During 2005, the Committee concluded that it needed to identify additional independent directors and develop and adopt corporate governance initiatives that foster transparency and clear communication with stakeholders, promote high ethical standards and financial reporting integrity and assist management in establishing an appropriate internal control environment. The primary objective of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee since the beginning of 2005 has been to ensure the effective functioning of AIG's Board of Directors.

In July 2005, Arthur Levitt, a former Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, was named a special advisor to the Board of Directors and the Committee. Mr. Levitt has worked closely with the Committee advising on corporate governance initiatives and possible independent director nominees. In November 2005, the Board of Directors elected Eric N. Litzky as Vice President-Corporate Governance and named Mr. Litzky Special Counsel and Secretary to the Board of Directors. The Committee believes this newly created position facilitates adoption and implementation of corporate governance initiatives.

Committee Organization and Operation

Committee Charter. The Committee's charter is attached as Appendix B and is available on AIG's corporate website at www.aigcorporate.com. As the Committee examined corporate governance initiatives and evaluated its participation in these initiatives, the Committee made a determination to amend its charter in early 2006 to reflect the following additional responsibilities:

	•	Shareholder Proposals. The Committee will review shareholder proposals, will report to the Board on the number, substance and status of proposals submitted by shareholders and will make recommendations to the Board for action. This will include reconsideration by the Committee of any shareholder proposal that was not supported by the Board but received approval of a majority of the votes cast.

	•	Director Resignations. The Committee will also make recommendations to the Board on action to be taken in response to the tender of resignation by a director in the circumstances required by AIG's amended Corporate Governance Guidelines described below.

The Committee also was involved with and made recommendations to each of the Public Policy and Social Responsibility Committee and the Regulatory, Compliance and Legal Committee to adopt a charter and to all standing committees of the Board to make changes to their respective charters. These charters and amendments have been adopted by the Board on the recommendation of the Committee.

Composition and independence. The composition of the Committee changed over the year, with the addition of two new independent directors, Messrs. Miles and Offit. The following table lists the members of the Committee before and after AIG's 2005 annual meeting of shareholders:

	Before August 2005 Annual Meeting		After August 2005 Annual Meeting
	M. Bernard Aidinoff (Chairman)		M. Bernard Aidinoff (Chairman)
	Marshall A. Cohen		Marshall A. Cohen
	Carla A. Hills		Carla A. Hills
	Frank G. Zarb		George L. Miles, Jr.
			Morris W. Offit

Prior to assuming the role of Interim Chairman of AIG's Board of Directors in April 2005, Mr. Zarb was a member of the Committee. As Interim Chairman, Mr. Zarb continues to serve as an ex officio member of the Committee.

The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Committee is independent, as required by NYSE listing standards.

Conduct of meetings and governance process. During 2005, the Committee held nine meetings. In discussing governance initiatives and in preparation for meetings, the Committee Chairman and Mr. Litzky met and consulted frequently with Mr. Levitt, Mr. Zarb and other Committee and Board members.

Board Membership and Composition

At the beginning of 2005, the Board was composed of fifteen directors. Throughout 2005 and the beginning of 2006, several directors retired or announced that they did not intend to stand for reelection at the 2006 annual meeting of shareholders. The Committee nominated, and the Board elected, four new independent directors in 2005 and two new independent directors in 2006. The Committee believes the depth of experience and breadth of expertise of the new Board members complements the composition of the existing Board and appropriately balances the need for new perspectives with the value of continuity and expertise about AIG's complex businesses.

The Committee evaluated and recommended to the Board of Directors the fifteen director nominees standing for election at the 2006 annual meeting, based on the criteria set forth in AIG's amended Corporate Governance Guidelines. This includes the Committee's recommendation, and the Board's approval, of Mr. Orr as an additional independent director nominee for election at the 2006 annual meeting. A description of the nominees recommended by the Committee and the process for identification of those director nominees that are standing for election for the first time is provided below under the caption “Committees—Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.”

Independence. The Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Committee, determined that each of AIG's thirteen non-management directors is independent within the meaning of the NYSE listing standards. Mr. Sullivan, who serves as Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Tse, who serves as Senior Vice Chairman-Life Insurance, are the only directors who hold AIG management positions and therefore are not independent directors.

By-Laws and Corporate Governance Guidelines

There have been a number of key corporate governance measures adopted by the Board on the recommendation of the Committee. These measures have been reflected primarily through amendments to AIG's by-laws and Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Role of Chairman. The Committee undertook an evaluation of governance practices relating to the role of the Chairman. The Committee then recommended, and the Board adopted, the following measures that relate to the role of Chairman:

	•	Separate Chairman and CEO. In 2005, the Board adopted amendments to its by-laws and Corporate Governance Guidelines to provide for a non-executive Chairman of the Board. These amendments also reflect the Committee's recommendation that the Chairman of the Board should be an independent director. In order to provide guidance about the separate and independent roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Committee developed a description of the general duties of the Chairman.

	•	Review of Chairman and Recommended Term Limit. The Corporate Governance Guidelines also provide that the selection of the Chairman will be reviewed annually. In connection with this review, the Committee will conduct an independent evaluation of the Chairman. Under normal circumstances, the Committee does not believe that the same individual should serve as non-executive Chairman for more than five years.

Board of Directors. The Committee recommended, and the Board adopted, the following amendments to the Corporate Governance Guidelines relating to the composition of the Board:

	•	Recommended Board Size. A guideline was adopted that, given the size and complexity of the businesses in which AIG is engaged, as well as the value of diversity of experience and views among Board members, the Board believes that it will be desirable over time to have a Board of between 14 and 16 members (allowing that a larger or smaller number may be necessary or advisable in periods of transition or other circumstances).

	•	Majority Voting for Directors. A guideline was adopted that requires director nominees in uncontested elections who receive a greater number of votes “withheld” than “for” election to tender their resignations for consideration by the Committee. The Committee will recommend to the Board the action to be taken with respect to a resignation. The guideline also requires AIG to disclose publicly each such resignation and the related action taken by the Board.

	•	Mandatory Retirement. A guideline was adopted that no director may stand for election to the Board after reaching the age of 73. The guideline gives the Board, on the recommendation of the Committee, the ability to waive the limitation for any director for a period of one year if deemed to be in the best interests of AIG.

	•	Former CEO. A guideline was adopted that a former Chief Executive Officer of AIG cannot serve as a director.

	•	Change in Occupation. A guideline was adopted that requires a director to submit his or her resignation to the Committee upon a change in the director's principal occupation, other than for retirement. The Committee will consider whether the resignation should be accepted and recommend action to the Board.

	•	Other Directorships. Given the significant demands on time and conflicts and legal issues that may be presented by service on multiple boards, a guideline was adopted that directors should generally not serve on the boards of more than four other public companies and the Chief Executive Officer should not serve on the board of more than one other public company. For purposes of this guideline, directorships at AIG subsidiaries or companies in which AIG has a significant equity interest are not taken into consideration.

Director independence. In June 2005, the Committee recommended, and the Board adopted, changes in Corporate Governance Guidelines to reflect that at least two-thirds of the directors should be “independent” under NYSE listing standards. Currently fifteen of AIG's seventeen directors are independent and thirteen of the fifteen directors standing for election at the 2006 annual meeting are independent. In addition, at the recommendation of the Committee, the Board modified the existing independence standards with respect to directors. In particular, the standards significantly lower the threshold for the relationships and transactions with charitable organizations that will be considered immaterial for purposes of the NYSE standards. Under the new standard, the Board needs to consider whether a relationship is material if a director is affiliated with a charitable organization that receives contributions from AIG in excess of $200,000 during any calendar year (not taking into account gifts made under the AIG Matching Grants Program).

Board Meetings and Processes. At the Committee's recommendation, a guideline was adopted that increases the minimum number of regularly scheduled board meetings each year from four to six and requires an executive session of the independent directors in connection with each regularly scheduled Board meeting. In addition, to ensure dedicated commitment to Board service, a guideline was adopted on the Committee's recommendation that any director who, for two consecutive calendar years, attends fewer than 75 percent of the regular meetings of the Board and meetings of the committees of which such director is a voting member, will not be nominated for reelection at the next annual meeting, absent special circumstances that may be taken into account by the Committee in making recommendations to the Board.

Committee Composition. The Committee also recommended amendments to the Corporate Governance Guidelines to provide for greater committee oversight and independence. Four of the most significant changes adopted by the Board are:

	•	Independence. As required by the NYSE listing standards, each member of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Committee is an “independent” director as defined under the NYSE listing standards. A new guideline also provides that each other standing committee of the Board will have a majority of “independent” directors as defined under the NYSE listing standards.

	•	Financial Expertise. A majority of the members of the Audit Committee will be “Audit Committee Financial Experts” as defined under the SEC rules. This “majority” guideline goes further than the SEC requirement that the Board make the audit committee financial expert determination only for “at least one” audit committee member.

	•	Composition. The Committee will make recommendations to the Board with regard to the composition of the committees of the Board.

	•	Committee Chairmen Term Limit. Although there are no fixed term limits for membership on any committee, the Board believes that rotation of members and chairmen is desirable. A director generally should serve as the chairman of the same committee for not less than three consecutive years and for not more than five years. This guideline balances the Board's belief that rotation is desirable with the importance of continuity of leadership.

Shareholder Nominees. In recognition of the importance of soliciting shareholder views on director candidates, the Committee recommended, and the Board adopted, a guideline that requires the Committee to give appropriate consideration to Director nominees proposed by shareholders. The guideline also provides information to shareholders about submitting nominees for the Committee's consideration.

Charitable Giving Guidelines. AIG, and its subsidiaries, make charitable gifts in the ordinary course of their business to charities, including foundations, endowments, trusts, charitable organizations and groups, cultural and educational institutions and others. The Committee recommended, and the Board adopted, four guidelines relating to any gifts:

	•	Furtherance of Business Interests. Gifts are made in furtherance of AIG's business interests, including the enhancement of AIG's reputation and its standing in the communities where it operates.

	•	Reports. Management will provide the Public Policy and Social Responsibility Committee with quarterly reports on all charitable gifts aggregating $100,000 or more (not taking into account gifts made under the AIG Matching Grants Program) within the current calendar year to a given institution and will provide an annual report with respect to those gifts that will be made publicly available.

	•	Notice to the Committee. Management will inform the Committee before making any proposed gift that would aggregate $100,000 or more (not taking into account gifts made under the AIG Matching Grants Program) within any calendar year to an institution of which an AIG director serves as a director, advisory director (or in a similar capacity) or executive officer.

	•	Solicitation. Directors will not directly solicit gifts from AIG (including any of its subsidiaries) to or on behalf of any institution of which a director serves as a director, advisory director (or in a similar capacity) or executive officer.

Political Contributions. AIG and its subsidiaries make political contributions in the ordinary course of their business in furtherance of AIG's business interests. The Committee recommended, and the Board adopted, guidelines that require management to provide the Public Policy and Social Responsibility Committee a report, at least annually, with respect to all political contributions and require the Public Policy and Social Responsibility Committee to report to the Board on its review of management's report.

Code of Conduct and Compliance

In connection with AIG's commitment to set an appropriate control environment, AIG now requires that all employees complete formal ethics training developed and monitored by AIG Corporate Compliance. AIG has implemented a Director, Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officer Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and requires all members of the Board, executive officers and senior financial officers to confirm that they adhere to the stated principles and procedures set forth in that Code.

Conclusion

During 2005 and to date in 2006, the Committee has made significant strides in strengthening the independence of the Board of Directors and in recommending and overseeing management's implementation of governance measures. The Committee plans to continue to explore further initiatives to keep AIG in the forefront of good corporate governance in 2006.

GOVERNANCE

As discussed in the Report of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, AIG's Board made significant changes in 2005 and 2006 to AIG's Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. All of AIG's corporate governance materials, including the Corporate Governance Guidelines and Committee charters, are published in the Corporate Governance section of AIG's corporate website at www.aigcorporate.com and are available, without charge, in print by writing to American International Group, Inc., 70 Pine Street, New York, New York 10270, Attention: Investor Relations.

AIG's Board regularly reviews corporate governance developments and modifies its Corporate Governance Guidelines, charters and practices from time to time. The charters of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee, the Public Policy and Social Responsibility Committee and the Regulatory, Compliance and Legal Committee, which were most recently amended in 2006, are available in the Corporate Governance section of www.aigcorporate.com and are included as Appendices B, C, D, E and F, respectively.

AIG also has a Director, Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officer Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and a Code of Conduct for employees, which are available, without charge, through the Corporate Governance section of www.aigcorporate.com or in print by writing to American International Group, Inc., 70 Pine Street, New York, New York 10270, Attention: Investor Relations. Any amendment to AIG's Director, Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officer Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and any waiver applicable to AIG's directors, executive officers or senior financial officers will be posted on AIG's website within the time period required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the NYSE.

Using the current Director Independence Standards, which are included in the Corporate Governance Guidelines appended to this Proxy Statement, the Board, on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, determined that Ms. Futter and Messrs. Chia, Cohen, Feldstein, Hammerman, Holbrooke, Langhammer, Miles, Offit, Orr, Sutton, Willumstad and Zarb are independent under NYSE listing standards and AIG's independence standards.

In making the independence determinations, the review of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board included the employment and other business relationships of each director. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considered relationships arising from each director's affiliation with charitable organizations that receive contributions from AIG.

In March 2006, Mr. Hammerman became Senior Special Counsel to the law firm of Clifford Chance LLP, which in 2005 provided legal services to AIG and its subsidiaries, receiving normal fees for services rendered. Mr. Hammerman has advised the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board that he does not participate in the profits of Clifford Chance LLP and that no part of his compensation as Senior Special Counsel is or will be based in any way on the amount of services provided by Clifford Chance LLP to AIG or the fees received by Clifford Chance LLP from AIG.

In 2005, AIG made payments totaling $539,743 to the Asia Society, of which Mr. Holbrooke is chairman of the board of directors, for membership fees, sponsorship costs and general contributions. In addition, to date in 2006, AIG has made a payment of $500,000 for sponsorship costs and has made a commitment for an additional $500,000 to be paid in 2006 to the Asia Society. Under AIG's categorical standards for director independence that are used to assist the Board in making independence determinations, the Board must consider the materiality of any contributions for a calendar year made to a charitable organization of which a director is affiliated if the contributions exceed $200,000. The Board, on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, considered the payments to the Asia Society and determined that they do not impair Mr. Holbrooke's independence. In making this determination, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board evaluated all facts they considered relevant, including that Mr. Holbrooke does not serve as an executive officer and does not receive compensation from the Asia Society, that he did not solicit the payments and that, given the significance of AIG's operations in Asia, the Board and AIG management believe that the payments to the Asia Society will enhance AIG's reputation and standing in Asia.

There were 11 meetings of the Board during 2005. The non-management directors meet in executive session, without any management directors present, either before or after each regularly scheduled Board meeting. Mr. Zarb presides at these executive sessions. For 2005 and 2004, all of the directors attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and of the committees of the Board on which they served. Under AIG's Corporate Governance Guidelines, any director who, for two consecutive calendar years, attended fewer than 75 percent of the regular meetings of the Board and the meetings of all committees of which such director is a voting member, will not be nominated for reelection at the annual meeting in the next succeeding calendar year, absent special circumstances that may be taken into account by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in making its recommendations to the Board.

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

COMMITTEES

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee, which held 21 meetings during 2005, assists the Board's oversight of AIG's financial statements and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the qualifications and performance of AIG's independent registered public accounting firm and the performance of AIG's internal audit function. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of AIG's independent registered public accounting firm. In its oversight role of AIG's internal audit function, the Audit Committee also is involved in performance reviews of, and determining compensation for, the chief internal auditor.

Prior to his retirement in August 2005, Mr. Frank J. Hoenemeyer was chairman of the Audit Committee. On the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Mr. Offit was named chairman of the Audit Committee after Mr. Hoenemeyer's retirement from the Board at the 2005 annual meeting. Messrs. Aidinoff, Miles, Offit and Sutton and Mrs. Hills are the current members of the Audit Committee. Messrs. Miles and Offit joined the Audit Committee on May 18, 2005 and Mr. Sutton joined the Audit Committee on October 20, 2005.

The Board has determined, on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, that all members of the Audit Committee are independent under both NYSE listing standards and SEC rules. The Board has also determined that all members of the Audit Committee are financially literate, as defined by NYSE listing standards, and that a majority of the members of the Committee are audit committee financial experts, as defined by SEC rules. For purposes of SEC rules, the Board of Directors has designated Mr. Offit the named audit committee financial expert and, on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has determined that Mr. Offit has accounting or related financial management expertise, as defined by NYSE listing standards. Although designated as an audit committee financial expert, Mr. Offit does not act as an accountant for AIG and, under SEC rules, is not an “expert” for purposes of the liability provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or for any other purpose. Mr. Offit does not have any responsibilities or obligations in addition to those of the other Audit Committee members; all Audit Committee members have the identical duties and responsibilities.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Mr. Aidinoff chairs the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which held nine meetings in 2005 and which also includes Messrs. Marshall Cohen, Miles and Offit and Mrs. Hills. The Board has determined that all members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent under NYSE listing standards. The primary purposes of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are to review and recommend individuals to the Board of Directors for nomination, election or appointment as members of the Board and its committees, advise the Board on corporate governance and oversee the evaluation of the Board and its committees.

In October 2005, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee nominated Mr. Sutton to serve as a director, and the Board accepted the recommendation and elected him as a director on October 20, 2005. Mr. Sutton was initially identified as a potential nominee by Arthur Levitt, a special advisor to the Board of Directors and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In January 2006, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committtee nominated Messrs. Langhammer and Willumstad to serve as directors, and on January 18, 2006, the Board accepted the recommendation and elected them as directors. Messrs. Langhammer and Willumstad were initially identified as potential nominees by AIG's independent directors. In March 2006, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committtee nominated Mr. Orr to stand for election by shareholders as a director, and on March 15, 2006, the Board accepted the nomination and included Mr. Orr as a nominee for election as a director. Mr. Orr was initially identified as a potential nominee by Mr. Levitt.

In nominating Mr. Marshall Cohen to stand for election, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Board considered that Mr. Cohen currently serves as director on more public company boards of directors than the standard provided by AIG's Corporate Governance Guidelines. Mr. Cohen has committed to reduce the number of public company boards on which he serves as director (other than AIG) to no more than four by the end of 2006 in accordance with AIG's Corporate Governance Guidelines. Given this commitment and Mr. Cohen's significant contributions and high quality service to AIG, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board are recommending Mr. Cohen for reelection.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders. The Corporate Governance Guidelines include the characteristics that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers important for nominees for director and information for shareholders with respect to nominations. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate shareholder nominees on the same basis as all other nominees. Shareholders who wish to submit nominees for director for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for election at the 2007 annual meeting may do so by submitting in writing such nominees' names, in compliance with the procedures described under “Shareholder Proposals For 2007 Annual Meeting” in this Proxy Statement.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee, which held 13 meetings during 2005, oversees the administration of AIG's compensation programs, establishes the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and makes recommendations with respect to compensation programs applicable to senior executives and other employee compensation. The Committee is also responsible for oversight of AIG's management development and succession planning programs. Messrs. Aidinoff, Chia, Marshall Cohen and Feldstein are the current members of the Compensation Committee, with Mr. Cohen serving as the Chairman. The Board has determined, on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, that all members of the Compensation Committee are independent under NYSE listing standards.

Other Committees

The Finance Committee, which oversees the financial affairs and investment activities of AIG and its subsidiaries, held eight meetings during 2005. Messrs. Feldstein, Holbrooke, Offit, Sullivan and Willumstad are the current members of the Finance Committee, which is chaired by Mr. Sullivan.

On April 21, 2005, the Board established two new committees: the Public Policy and Social Responsibility Committee and the Regulatory, Compliance and Legal Committee.

The Public Policy and Social Responsibility Committee is responsible for reviewing the position and policies of AIG that relate to current and emerging corporate social responsibility and political and public policy issues of significance to AIG, that may affect AIG's business operations, performance or corporate reputation. The Public Policy and Social Responsibility Committee met twice in 2005 and currently consists of Messrs. Holbrooke, who serves as chairman, William Cohen, Feldstein and Miles. The Committee's charter is attached as Appendix E.

The principal purpose of the Regulatory, Compliance and Legal Committee is to assist the Board in its oversight of AIG's legal, regulatory and compliance matters. The Regulatory, Compliance and Legal Committee met five times during 2005 and the current members are Messrs. Hammerman, who serves as chairman, Aidinoff and Marshall Cohen and Ms. Futter. The Committee's charter is attached as Appendix F.

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

AIG historically had an Executive Committee, which acted on behalf of the Board between Board meetings. In March 2006, after consideration of both the increased frequency of regularly scheduled Board meetings and best practices in corporate governance, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended, and the Board approved, discontinuing the Executive Committee.

(1)		Represents a $40,000 annual retainer for Board service and an additional $5,000 annual retainer per committee. Payments are made quarterly commencing with the first quarter of service.

(2)		Directors received $1,500 for each Board and committee meeting attended. For Mr. Marshall Cohen, the amount includes a fee of $35,000 for service on the special litigation committee established in 2002. This fee was paid to Mr. Cohen in early 2006 primarily for service during 2005. Mr. Hoenemeyer served on this special litigation committee until his retirement at AIG's 2005 annual meeting of shareholders. For each of Messrs. Hammerman and Miles, the amount includes fees of $50,000 for service on the special litigation committee established in 2005. Descriptions of the 2002 and 2005 special litigation committees are contained under “Special Litigation Committees” below. For each of Messrs. Hammerman, Miles and Offit, the amount includes fees for service on a special committee on indemnification established in 2005. A description of this committee is contained under “Special Committee on Indemnification” below.

(3)		Receipt of all shares granted to non-management directors is deferred until retirement from the Board, pursuant to the AIG Director Stock Plan. In connection with his retirement, Mr. Hoenemeyer's 375 shares were issued on September 1, 2005, with a value of $22,256.

(4)		Under the AIG Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan, non-management directors receive annually an option, which vests after one year and is exercisable for nine years thereafter, to purchase 2,500 shares of AIG Common Stock at an option price equal to the fair market value of AIG Common Stock on the date of the grant, which is the date of the annual meeting of shareholders.

2006 Compensation

In 2005, on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board reviewed its director compensation practices and determined to change the compensation structure for its non-management directors. Beginning in 2006, each non-management director of AIG receives director's fees of $75,000 per year, but no longer receives a fee for each Board meeting attended. An annual retainer of $5,000 is paid to each member of each committee of the Board, other than the committee chairmen. Members of each committee also receive $1,500 for each committee meeting attended. In addition, the chairman of the Audit Committee receives a retainer of $25,000 per year, and the chairmen of the other committees receive retainers of $15,000 per year. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional retainer of $150,000 per year but does not receive committee annual retainers or committee meeting attendance fees as an ex officio member of all standing committees. Directors who are not employees of AIG or its subsidiaries are granted 1000 shares of AIG Common Stock annually, receipt of which is deferred until retirement from the Board, pursuant to the AIG Director Stock Plan. In addition, under the AIG Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan, non-management directors continue to receive annually an option to purchase 2,500 shares of AIG Common Stock.

Special Litigation Committees

In response to two unrelated derivative actions filed against AIG, which are described in AIG's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, AIG's Board of Directors appointed special litigation committees of independent directors to review the matters asserted in the complaints. The first special litigation committee was established in 2002. Messrs. Marshall Cohen and Sutton are the current members, with Mr. Sutton joining in October 2005. The second special litigation committee was established in 2005 and Messrs. Hammerman and Miles are the current members. Fees for these special litigation committees are set by the Board and may be reviewed and adjusted by the Board if the amount of work is greater than anticipated.

Special Committee on Indemnification

During 2005, Messrs. Hammerman, Offit and Miles served as members of the Special Committee on Indemnification, which authorized the necessary actions to allow AIG to pay in advance of the final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the other non-management directors in accordance with the provisions of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Service for AIG subsidiaries

Certain non-management directors also serve as directors of various subsidiaries of AIG and receive fees for meeting attendance.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Overview

Last year presented unprecedented challenges for AIG, its Board and management team. The Committee's significant activity was a response to this environment.

Beginning in March 2005, the Committee took immediate steps to retain AIG's senior executives and to provide continuity in compensation opportunities. The Committee believed it was crucial to establish a transitional compensation framework to promote management focus on both the near-term legal and regulatory challenges and the long-term goal of continuing the growth of AIG's core businesses.

The Committee also determined to establish a new, on-going compensation framework over the year and directed senior management to evaluate AIG's existing arrangements and provide the Committee with recommendations. As a result, the Committee has substantially revised AIG's compensation programs. The new programs represent a simplified, performance-based compensation framework that is centralized under the Committee's oversight and that is designed to retain the positive aspects of prior arrangements.

To provide advice in this process, the Committee selected Frederic W. Cook & Co. as its independent advisor. The Committee also received the advice of outside counsel to AIG and the independent directors of the Board in evaluating and implementing the steps it has taken since March 2005.

2005 Transitional Compensation Framework

The 2005 transitional compensation framework introduced five major elements:

	•	Employment agreements and executive severance plan

	•	Assurance as to obligations of Starr International Company, Inc. (“SICO”) and C.V. Starr & Co., Inc. (“Starr”)

	•	2005-2006 Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plan

	•	Mid-year grants of options and restricted stock units

	•	2005 Senior Partners Plan

The emphasis of this framework was management retention and recruitment and compensation continuity. During 2005, no member of AIG's new senior executive team departed. Through the date of this proxy statement, only one senior executive has departed and he did not join a competitor, and one senior executive has retired.

Employment agreements and executive severance plan. In March 2005, Mr. Sullivan was promoted to AIG President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kanak was promoted to AIG Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer and Mr. Bensinger was promoted to AIG Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

In connection with these promotions, the Committee negotiated an employment agreement with each executive. These agreements have fixed, three-year terms and provide for assurances as to position and responsibility, the structure of future compensation and, in specified circumstances, severance payments. In light of the circumstances, the Committee also believed it was important to restrict the executives' ability to compete with AIG on any separation during the next three years, and the agreements contain non-competition and non-solicitation covenants.

The Committee also established an executive severance plan that provides severance payments and benefits to a group of AIG's executives. This plan has the same three-year term as the employment agreements. Severance under the plan is subject to continued compliance with non-competition and non-solicitation covenants, among other conditions.

Assurance as to obligations of SICO and Starr. Historically, SICO and Starr provided compensation, benefits and, in the case of Starr, investment opportunities, to AIG employees. As part of its transitional framework, the Compensation Committee took steps to protect the interests of AIG's current employees with respect to these benefits and investments. AIG agreed, subject to conditions, to:

•

make any payment or delivery of AIG stock that is not promptly made with respect to the benefits accrued by current employees of AIG and its subsidiaries under historic SICO compensation plans and

•

make any purchase or redemption payment to the extent not promptly made by Starr to current employees of AIG and its subsidiaries under Starr's organizational documents.

The SICO assurance provides additional retention incentives and reduces employee concern on this issue. In early 2006, Starr completed tender offers for all Starr interests from AIG executives. As a result, no AIG employee currently holds any Starr interests and AIG's assurance obligations with respect to Starr interests have therefore been extinguished.

2005-2006 Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plan. The Committee adopted a 2005-2006 Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plan that provides equity-based compensation to more than 700 key AIG employees, including senior executive officers.

The 2005-2006 DCPPP was modeled on plans provided by SICO for the benefit of AIG employees from 1975 through 2004. The SICO plans had two-year award terms and provided SICO's board of directors with the discretion to “contingently allocate” AIG shares to participating executives based on the growth in AIG's earnings per share during the award period and the book value of AIG stock at the end of the period. Shares contingently allocated under the historic SICO plans to AIG's senior executives are generally delivered only on retirement after reaching age 65.

Although SICO had advised AIG employees of their levels of participation in a 2005-2006 SICO plan in late 2004, SICO did not ultimately adopt that plan. To provide compensation continuity, the Committee established the 2005-2006 DCPPP. After a review of the participation levels originally announced by SICO, the Committee provided identical participation levels in the 2005-2006 DCPPP with only limited exceptions.

The 2005-2006 DCPPP will contingently allocate a fixed number of shares to each participant if AIG's cumulative adjusted earnings per share for 2005 and 2006 exceed that for 2003 and 2004. Although the majority of shares contingently allocated to senior executives will be delivered only on retirement after age 65, the 2005-2006 DCPPP does provide for early delivery of a portion of the contingently allocated shares in 2008, 2010 and 2015. The early delivery enhances the perceived value of these awards to AIG senior executives and is designed to assist in retention. Shares delivered under the 2005-2006 DCPPP will be issued pursuant to AIG's existing Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Incentive Plan.

The 2005-2006 DCPPP is administered and funded by AIG, with no involvement by SICO.

Mid-year grants of options and restricted stock units. The Committee traditionally makes determinations with respect to stock option and restricted stock unit (RSU) grants for most employees as part of the year-end review process. In September 2005, management recommended, and the Committee determined, that an additional equity grant should be made to employees, including executive officers, to assist in retention and to provide a direct incentive for employees to focus on shareholder value during this time. Options, none of which were incentive options, vest over four years. Restricted stock units vest at the end of four years. The year-end option grants for Messrs. Sullivan, Kanak and Bensinger under their employment agreements took into account these mid-year grants.

2005 Senior Partners Plan. The Committee adopted a 2005 Senior Partners Plan that provides deferred cash compensation to select key employees, including senior executives.

Each unit awarded under the plan represents the right to receive $2,200 promptly after January 1, 2011, so long as the participant's employment with AIG is not terminated for any reason before that time. The 2005 Senior Partners Plan is part of AIG's efforts to provide replacements for the investment opportunity, and related retention benefits, previously provided by Starr. Although Starr has repurchased all of its interests held by AIG executives, the repurchase price did not take into account any increase in Starr's adjusted book value in 2005. Grants under the 2005 Senior Partners Plan provide an AIG-funded replacement for this 2005 value.

On-Going Compensation Framework

The Committee has established a new compensation framework for senior executives that will apply beginning in 2006. The new performance-driven framework is designed to attract, motivate and retain key executives and support an effective control environment. The Committee's philosophy for effecting this goal was to:

	•	Centralize administration and control over individual compensation components

	•	Foster an owner/management culture through a partnership compensation approach that recognizes career milestones and provides senior management accountability for a variety of company-wide strategic goals

	•	Align the long-term economic interests of executives with shareholders by ensuring that a substantial portion of each executive's compensation and net worth is represented by non-transferable AIG stock

	•	Create strong retention incentives through extended vesting periods, while recognizing that some interim liquidity enhances the effectiveness of compensation components

	•	Promote transparency and fairness in compensation decisions by relating a significant portion of each executive's compensation to pre-established, objective performance measures

The on-going compensation framework for senior AIG executives will consist of the following five elements:

	•	Base salary

	•	Annual cash bonuses

	•	Time-vested grants of options or RSUs

	•	Performance RSUs granted under a new Partners Plan, based on two-year growth in earnings per share

	•	Deferred cash awards granted under a new Senior Partners Plan, based on three-year growth in adjusted book value per share

Three of the five compensation elements will be long-term performance-based compensation. The Committee believes that multiple long-term elements will work to emphasize the multiple performance measures senior executives need to address in order to deliver shareholder value. The value of time-vested equity awards reflects stock performance. The Partners Plan will reflect a combination of income statement performance and stock performance, while the Senior Partners Plan reflects balance sheet performance and is not affected by stock market risk. The three elements also provide a hierarchy of reward opportunities that match key points in career growth, with executives progressing from participation in time-vested equity awards, to a “Partner” level and, for select key executives, to a “Senior Partner” level.

Base salary. Senior AIG executives receive a relatively small portion of their overall compensation as base salary. The Committee intends to position base salary at the market median, with a percentile range from 25 to 75 based on demonstrated performance, responsibilities, tenure (including historic salary levels) and individual experience.

Annual cash bonuses. Annual cash bonuses are intended to reward business unit and individual performance during the year. Under the new framework, an annual bonus pool for corporate executives is established at the beginning of each year based on individual bonus targets. The annual pool will be adjusted by the Committee at year-end based on overall AIG results relative to the current year's performance objectives, last year's performance, market conditions and estimated performance of competitor firms. Total annual bonuses to participating executives generally will be limited by the amount of this pool and will be based on an assessment of business unit performance and individual performance and on the individual's target for the year.

Historically, AIG has paid quarterly bonuses that are based primarily on prior individual performance. For participants in the 2005-2006 DCPPP, the new compensation framework continues this program and updates it to reflect compensation opportunities previously provided by SICO and Starr. The amount of these quarterly bonuses is considered in awarding year-end bonuses, and new executives will not participate in the quarterly bonus program.

Time-vested grants of options or RSUs. AIG will continue its practice of providing long-term equity-based compensation through time-vested grants to key employees, including executives participating in the Partners Plan and the Senior Partners Plan. However, this year the Committee reevaluated the continuing use of options in light of shifting market practices. When the new framework is fully established, time-vested equity awards will be predominantly in the form of RSUs that will vest at the end of four years. Option grants generally will be limited to Senior Partners and other key executives. The options will continue to have four-year pro-rata vesting. The Committee is in the process of developing individual grant guidelines.

Partners Plan awards. The 2005-2006 DCPPP will be followed by a new Partners Plan. The Committee will grant participants in the plan (referred to as Partners) performance RSUs each year. The number of RSUs ultimately earned by a Partner will depend on growth in adjusted earnings per share over a two-year performance period relative to pre-established goals and will range from zero to 150 percent. Earned RSUs will vest in three equal installments promptly after the fourth, eighth and twelfth anniversaries of the first day of the

performance period. The extended vesting period is designed to align the long-term economic interests of Partners with AIG shareholders and promote Partner retention. The Committee is in the process of developing individual grant guidelines, which are expected to take into account 2005-2006 DCPPP participation.

Senior Partners Plan awards. The 2005 Senior Partners Plan will be followed by an on-going Senior Partners Plan. The Committee has granted participants in the plan (referred to as Senior Partners) Senior Partner Units that determine their share of an aggregate incentive pool. The aggregate incentive pool for each year is based on a weighted average of the growth in AIG's adjusted book value over a three-year period. Initially, up to 0.85 percent of the yearly growth is available for pools under the Senior Partners Plan. The dollar value of each Senior Partner Unit will be deferred and will be paid in three equal installments promptly after the fourth, eighth and twelfth anniversaries of the beginning of the final year of a performance period. The Senior Partners Plan provides long-term incentive compensation based on factors that are not share-price related.

The Senior Partners will also participate in the Partners Plan and therefore will be aligned with the Partners in achieving the performance targets of that plan. In addition, the Senior Partners Plan will not fund for any year in which the Partners Plan does not meet its minimum threshold requirements. As a result, there will not be a year in which Senior Partners accrue compensation under the Senior Partners Plan, but Partners do not earn RSUs under the Partners Plan. Participation in the Senior Partners Plan is evaluated each year based on the Senior Partner's level of performance and accountability. However, the Committee does not expect substantial year-to-year variability in a Senior Partner's level of participation.

Executive Incentive Plan. The Committee has also recommended that the shareholders adopt an Executive Incentive Plan that will establish an overall formula for maximum performance awards that can be delivered to senior executives from all plans and permit the deductibility by AIG of payments over $1 million. Under this EIP, each participating executive's yearly maximum performance compensation is first determined based on AIG's after-tax income for the year. The Committee may then reduce a participant's performance compensation to an amount that is less than the formula amount.

In the new compensation framework, the Committee will operate the annual bonus, Partners Plan and Senior Partners Plan compensation elements to deliver the performance compensation authorized by the EIP. In other words, after an EIP formula amount is established for a participant, the authorized performance compensation will be delivered through cash bonuses, performance RSUs earned and deferred cash awarded. If the formula amount is greater than the sum of these elements, the Committee expects to use its discretion to reduce the formula performance-based compensation. If the formula amount is less than the sum of these elements, the elements would be reduced as determined by the Committee.

The EIP will allow AIG to maximize the deductibility of compensation payments while allowing for the operation of the new Partners Plan and Senior Partners Plan and for future compensation frameworks. Compensation attributable to the exercise of AIG stock options is already deductible so grants of options are not included under the EIP. Although the Committee does not currently intend to do so, it also reserves the right to award other performance compensation to senior executives outside of the EIP.

Share Ownership Requirements

AIG does not have formal share ownership guidelines. In light of the structure of historic compensation arrangements, senior executives have interests in non-transferable AIG stock that exceed customary share ownership guidelines. The Committee believes this structure is the preferable approach and has designed the Partners Plan to meet the goal of continuing, long-term share ownership.

Change-in-Control and Termination Benefits

None of AIG's executive compensation elements have change-in-control triggers. AIG's equity plans do not accelerate vesting on a change-in-control, and AIG's executive employment agreements and severance plan do not provide for special severance or similar rights as a result of a change-in-control.

AIG has not previously entered into employment agreements or granted severance protection other than in connection with acquisitions. Although the Committee approved the employment agreements for the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer and the executive severance plan in 2005 for transition purposes, no similar protection applies to long-term compensation. As a result, unvested equity awards, SICO benefits and awards under the 2005-2006 DCPPP, Partners Plan and Senior Partners Plan will generally be forfeited on termination of employment before normal retirement (unless the Committee determines otherwise).

CEO's Compensation

CEO Performance. Mr. Sullivan's compensation for 2005 was established pursuant to his employment agreement. In addition, the Committee used its discretion at year-end to award him an extra $1,000,000 in cash bonus to bring his total compensation awarded for the year to $16,000,055, as discussed more fully in the sections that follow. The Committee did this in recognition of the success Mr. Sullivan and the management team achieved during 2005 in dealing with the transition to new management and the financial, regulatory and legal issues confronting AIG, and in keeping the organization focused on its business objectives and preserving the employee and customer base for future growth.

When Mr. Sullivan became Chief Executive Officer in March 2005, his and the Board's mutual goals were to stabilize the organization and deal forthrightly with the unprecedented challenges confronting AIG. Under Mr. Sullivan's leadership, the management team demonstrated remarkable dedication and resilience in simultaneously: (1) conducting an extensive internal review leading up to the filing of the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K in May; (2) creating an open and constructive dialogue with state and federal regulators, which laid the groundwork during 2005 for the February 2006 settlements resolving claims and matters under investigation with the United States Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Office of the New York Attorney General and the New York Department of Insurance; (3) stabilizing AIG's credit ratings and strengthening reserves; (4) maintaining AIG's customer base and building on its diversity of products and geographies; (5) addressing employee concerns, maintaining morale and productivity, and preserving AIG's entrepreneurial culture and partnership spirit; (6) improving AIG's controls over financial reporting; and (7) positioning AIG in the forefront of good corporate governance.

Base salary. Mr. Sullivan's base salary beginning in March 2005 was $1,000,000, as set forth in his employment agreement. The Committee has determined not to increase his salary for 2006, primarily because of the Committee's goal to maximize tax-deductible compensation going forward.

Annual bonus and other cash compensation. Mr. Sullivan's employment agreement provided for 2005 annual bonus and other cash compensation of $6,000,000. Of this amount, $4,875,000 was a transition bonus that was paid in installments, $911,875 was paid by AIG over the year and $213,125 represented payments by Starr and SICO that were deducted from the total required by his agreement. In addition, the Committee determined to pay a discretionary $1,000,000 year-end bonus to Mr. Sullivan based on his exceptional performance.

2005 equity and long-term compensation. Mr. Sullivan's employment agreement provides that his 2005 long-term and equity compensation will have a target value, reasonably determined by the Committee, of at least $8,000,000. AIG delivered this value through option grants, awards under the 2005-2006 DCPPP and awards under the 2005 Senior Partners Plan, as follows:

	•	Mr. Sullivan was awarded options for 136,575 shares of AIG stock. The options have four-year pro-rata vesting. Mr. Sullivan was not awarded any time-vested RSUs in 2005. For purposes of the employment agreement target, the Committee estimated the value of these awards would be $3,138,055 based on AIG's binomial option-pricing model and an assumed stock price.

	•	Mr. Sullivan's award under the 2005-2006 DCPPP was 4,000 units. This is the number of units that SICO advised him he would receive under the superseded 2005-2006 SICO plan. Mr. Sullivan's award was not increased as a result of his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer. For purposes of the employment agreement, the Committee concluded that this award had a target value of $2,112,000.

	•	Mr. Sullivan's award under the 2005 Senior Partners Plan was 1,250 units. Based on a value of $2,200 per unit, the Committee concluded this award had a target value of $2,750,000.

Accordingly, for purposes of Mr. Sullivan's employment agreement, the Committee determined that the total target value of these awards was $8,000,055, just slightly over the $8,000,000 threshold.

Total compensation awarded. In summary, the Committee determined that Mr. Sullivan's total direct compensation awarded for 2005 was $16,000,055, based on the rate of salary at the end of the year and on the target value of his equity and long-term cash awards. This is not the actual value that will be realized from these awards, which may be more or less depending on AIG's performance and satisfaction of vesting conditions, among other factors.

Future compensation. The Committee granted Mr. Sullivan awards under the Senior Partners Plan, which will be earned based on future performance. Under the Senior Partners Plan, the Committee established Mr.

Sullivan's participation at 1,750 Senior Partner Units, which will first result in deferred cash awards earned in 2006 based on AIG's performance over the three years ending in 2006.

Termination benefits. As noted, AIG provides only limited termination entitlements. Under his three-year employment agreement, if Mr. Sullivan had been involuntarily terminated by AIG without “cause” at January 1, 2006, he would have been entitled to a severance payment of $15,000,000, 3 years of additional benefits under AIG's health and life insurance plans and benefits under AIG's retirement plans (including 3 years of additional credits). Mr. Sullivan's receipt of any other benefits after termination of employment is currently at the discretion of the Committee, including vested options, shares allocated under the 2005-2006 DCPPP, AIG's contingent obligations with respect to prior SICO DCPPPs, awards under AIG's Senior Partners Plan and benefits under AIG's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

The Committee would evaluate the circumstances surrounding any termination to determine whether it would be appropriate for it to exercise its authority to allow Mr. Sullivan to exercise vested rights under any of AIG's compensation plans or to provide other payments or benefits.

Compensation Committee Organization and Operation

The Compensation Committee is responsible to AIG's Board of Directors and shareholders for approving the compensation awarded to AIG's Chief Executive Officer and to the other senior executives under its purview, including all of the named executive officers. The Committee is also responsible for making recommendations to the Board with respect to AIG's compensation programs for senior executives and other employees and for oversight of AIG's management development and succession planning programs. These responsibilities are set forth in the Committee's charter, which is posted on AIG's corporate website at www.aigcorporate.com and attached as Appendix C.

Composition and independence. The composition of the Committee changed over the year. The following table lists the members of the Committee before and after AIG's 2005 annual meeting of shareholders.

	Before August 2005 Annual Meeting		After August 2005 Annual Meeting
	Marshall A. Cohen (Chairman)		Marshall A. Cohen (Chairman)
	William S. Cohen		M. Bernard Aidinoff
	Frank J. Hoenemeyer		Pei-yuan Chia
	Richard C. Holbrooke		Martin S. Feldstein

In addition, Frank Zarb, as Interim Chairman of AIG's Board of Directors, is an ex officio member of the Committee.

The Board, on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, has determined that each member of the Committee is independent under AIG's Director Independence Standards and for purposes of NYSE listing standards.

Independent consultant. To provide independent advice, the Committee selected Frederic W. Cook & Co. On completion of AIG's new compensation framework, the Cook firm advised the Committee that the design of the new cash and equity incentive programs reflect a pay-for-performance compensation philosophy that is reasonable and competitive with companies in the financial services industry.

Conduct of meetings. During 2005, the Committee met 13 times. At the end of each meeting, the Committee met in executive session without representatives of AIG's management.

Competitive market review. In making decisions, the Committee considers competitive market information. In 2005, the Committee determined to use two competitor groups: ten financial companies and ten large non-financial companies. The Committee believes the two groups provide an appropriate cross-section of industry and human-resource competitors with the global scope, market capitalization and operational complexity of AIG. The two groups are listed in the following table.

	Financial Companies		Non-Financial Companies
	Allstate		Altria Group
	American Express		Coca-Cola
	Bank of America		General Electric
	Citigroup		IBM
	HSBC Holdings		Johnson & Johnson
	JPMorgan Chase		PepsiCo
	MetLife		Pfizer
	Prudential Financial		Procter & Gamble
	St. Paul Travelers		Verizon
	Wells Fargo		Wal-Mart Stores

Deductibility of Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Code places a limit on the tax deduction for compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the chief executive officer and four most highly compensated executive officers of a corporation in a taxable year. For 2005, the options granted to Mr. Sullivan and the other four officers are qualified “performance-based compensation” and are expected to be deductible notwithstanding the $1 million limit. Other compensation above $1 million to these executives did not qualify and therefore was not deductible.

The Committee believes that it is necessary and in the best interests of AIG's shareholders to forego some tax deductions in order to attract and retain outstanding executive talent. This was particularly the case in 2005.

Going forward, the Committee has recommended that shareholders approve the Executive Incentive Plan, which is designed to assure that performance compensation to senior executives is deductible notwithstanding the $1 million limit. However, the Committee will retain the flexibility to pay compensation based on other considerations if it believes that doing so is in AIG's best interests.

Conclusion

The 2005 transitional compensation framework was designed to retain and motivate AIG's senior executives during an uncertain and challenging year and to ultimately reward them for outstanding performance. The Committee believes the framework accomplished these objectives. The Committee has every expectation that its on-going compensation framework will build on this momentum and further reinforce the alignment of employee and shareholder interests.

		nonqualified stock options granted while Mr. Sullivan was resident in the United Kingdom—$229,262 (2003); and (2) for Mr. Kanak amounts shown include the following expatriate benefits paid to Mr. Kanak due to his service in Asia: cost of living adjustment—$35,376 (2004) and $156,312 (2003); tax equalization payments—$300,047 (2004) and $715,224 (2003); housing costs—$81,509 (2005) and $211,107 (2003); home leave airfare—$16,080 (2003); foreign service premium—$6,824 (2003); local education allowance—$21,946 (2003); and a temporary living expense reimbursement—$17,000 (2004). AIG does not consider these payments to be perquisites. Amounts for Mr. Kanak in 2005 do not include tax equalization payments which have not yet been determined by AIG.

(3)		The LTIP payouts for 2004 will be made by SICO pursuant to its 2003-2004 Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plan, which is described under “Holdings of Previously Awarded Equity” below. As described in that section, the amounts shown do not represent actual payments because delivery of AIG shares generally does not begin until the employee retires at or after reaching age 65. The values shown for the year 2004 represent the number of AIG shares contingently allocated to the named executive officers as follows: Sullivan—64,000 shares; Kanak—48,000 shares; Wintrob—40,000 shares; Scott—10,800 shares; Tizzio—76,800 shares; Tse—76,800 shares; Martin—16,000 shares; Moor—48,000 shares; and Neuger—48,000 shares (based on the closing sale price of AIG Common Stock on December 31, 2004). The values shown for year 2003 represent the number of additional AIG shares contingently allocated to the named executive officers on reaching age 65 under prior SICO Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plans as follows: Tizzio—32,000 shares and Tse—29,600 shares (based on the closing sale price of AIG Common Stock on the respective dates they reached age 65).

(4)		This column represents matching contributions under the AIG savings plan (401(k) Plan), except that (1) the amount for Mr. Sullivan includes $3,780 in life insurance premiums paid by AIG in 2005, (2) the amount shown for Mr. Bensinger includes $1,667,215, which is the grant-date value of RSUs with respect to 23,780 shares of AIG Common Stock awarded to Mr. Bensinger on January 6, 2006 in lieu of additional age and service credits in connection with his participation in AIG's supplemental executive retirement plan, (3) amounts shown for Mr. Wintrob include $1,488,961 (2005), $1,496,357 (2004) and $1,410,499 (2003) paid under a SunAmerica Five-Year Deferred Bonus Plan from awards granted in 2000 and 2001, which pay out in 20 percent installments over five years of continued employment, (4) amounts shown for Mr. Scott include $419,055 (2004) and $415,675 (2003), which are the grant-date values of 6,500 RSUs awarded to Mr. Scott on each of December 16, 2004 and December 17, 2003 and (5) amounts shown for Mr. Martin include $1,577,722 (2004), which is the value on December 31, 2004 of 24,025 shares of AIG Common Stock representing performance share units awarded under an employment agreement with Mr. Martin negotiated in connection with AIG's acquisition of American General Corporation (“AGC”) in August 2001, and premiums paid by AGC for a group carve out individual life insurance policy ($4,385) and the value of split-dollar life insurance ($90,733) in 2003.

(5)		This column represents the value of option grants calculated based on AIG's binomial option-pricing model, as described in footnote 2 to the table regarding 2005 option grants below.

(6)		On March 14, 2005, Mr. Sullivan was elected President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Bensinger was elected Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Kanak was elected Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Kanak resigned effective January 31, 2006. Mr. Tizzio retired effective March 31, 2006.

(7)		Mr. Greenberg retired as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer on March 14, 2005. Mr. Smith was terminated as Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer on March 21, 2005.

Perquisites, Benefits & Transactions with Officers. To facilitate the performance of executives' management responsibilities, AIG provides to Messrs. Sullivan and Tse (and, before his retirement, provided to Mr. Greenberg) automobiles and drivers and, to these individuals and other officers and employees, the use of corporate aircraft, automobile allowance and parking, club memberships and recreational opportunities. From time to time in 2004, Starr also made a yacht owned by SICO available to AIG officers and employees. These opportunities are provided for use for business purposes and the costs thereof incurred by AIG are considered ordinary and necessary business expenses.

AIG's incremental cost of these benefits for each executive for 2005 is described in the following table. For each of 2004 and 2003, AIG's incremental cost was less than $50,000 for each executive, other than for Mr. Greenberg in 2004. In that year, the incremental cost of Mr. Greenberg's personal use of AIG aircraft was $529,951 and of AIG automobiles and drivers was $23,500. For 2003, the incremental cost to AIG was de minimis because benefits to the named executives were provided by Starr or SICO.

As a result of recommendations in independent third-party security studies, AIG's policy requires the Chief Executive Officer and his spouse to use AIG aircraft for personal travel. The amounts shown in the following table for Messrs. Sullivan and Greenberg represent personal use by them and their spouses in accordance with this policy. There also were limited occasions when spouses of AIG directors have traveled with the directors on AIG aircraft. In these instances, AIG has been reimbursed by the director for the cost of first class airfare.

The following table details the incremental cost of perquisites received by each of the officers named in the Summary Compensation Table in 2005.

In 2005, Mr. Sullivan repaid a mortgage loan made by AIG in connection with Mr. Sullivan's relocation from London to New York in 1996. The maximum amount of the loan outstanding before it was repaid was $285,375 at an interest rate of 3.11 percent per year. In connection with the employment and relocation to New York of Mr. Frank G. Wisner, an executive officer, in 1997 AIG paid certain expenses involved with his purchase of a cooperative apartment and has provided credit support for his mortgage. In December 2005, Mr. Brian Schreiber, an executive officer, used the proceeds from the tender of his Starr interests described below under “Relationships and Related Party Transactions” to repay a loan extended by a private entity that may be controlled by Mr. Greenberg.

AIG maintains a policy of directors and officers liability insurance for itself, its directors and officers, its subsidiaries, and their directors and officers. The premium for the year ending May 24, 2006 was approximately $32.8 million.

2005 Senior Partners Plan. The Committee adopted a 2005 Senior Partners Plan that provides deferred cash compensation to select key employees, including the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation table. As described in the Compensation Committee Report, the 2005 Senior Partners Plan is part of AIG's efforts to provide replacements for the investment opportunity, and related retention benefits, previously provided by Starr.

Each unit awarded under the plan represents the right to receive $2,200 promptly after January 1, 2011, so long as the participant's employment with AIG is not terminated for any reason before that time. Special accelerated vesting and payment rules apply if a participant dies, becomes permanently disabled or retires at or after age 65. The 2005 Plan also provides for a quarterly cash payment based upon a formula relating to the cash dividends AIG pays on its common stock. The units granted to the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation table are set forth in the table below.

2005-2006 DCPPP and SPP. In 2005, AIG adopted two long term incentive plans, the 2005-2006 Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plan and the Senior Partners Plan.

The 2005-2006 DCPPP was modeled on plans previously provided by SICO, except that is administered by AIG and its costs will be borne directly by AIG. The 2005-2006 DCPPP provides that if adjusted cumulative earnings per share for 2005 and 2006 exceed cumulative earnings per share for 2003 and 2004, then each participant will receive time-vesting RSUs based upon the number of units they have been granted. For senior executive officers who have been granted 1,000 or more units, if there is such an increase in cumulative earnings per share they will receive a contingent right to receive 16 AIG shares for each unit granted while executives granted between 600 and 999 units will receive a contingent right to receive 12 AIG shares for each unit granted. Although a majority of the RSUs granted under the 2005-2006 DCPPP will vest only on retirement after age 65, the plan does provide for early vesting of a portion of the RSUs in 2008, 2010, and 2015. Any unvested RSUs generally will be forfeited if the participant ceases employment with AIG before the vesting of those shares.

The Senior Partners Plan operates for successive overlapping three-year performance periods. (The first performance period is January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2006.) Participants are granted Senior Partner Units that entitle them to receive deferred cash awards based on a weighted average of the annual growth in AIG's adjusted book value per share during the performance period. The value of each unit will be paid in three equal installments promptly after the fourth, eighth and twelfth anniversary of the beginning of the final year of the performance period. (Thus, the values of the units for the first performance period will be paid out in 2010, 2014 and 2016, assuming the conditions to receipt are satisfied.) The plan also provides for a quarterly cash payment on credited amounts based upon a formula relating to the cash dividends AIG pays on its common stock.

2005 Option Grants. AIG provides part of its long-term compensation through time-vested option grants. The following table lists the options granted to individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table and provides summary data for other groups. All options have four-year pro-rata vesting and an exercise price equal to grant-date fair market value.

Messrs. Sullivan, Bensinger and Tizzio were each granted options to purchase 8,000 shares of common stock of Transatlantic at an exercise price of $69.95 per share (the fair market value of Transatlantic common stock on the date of grant) on November 30, 2005 as compensation for services to Transatlantic. These grants provide that 25 percent of the options granted become exercisable on each anniversary date in each of the successive four years and that the options expire ten years from the date of grant. In addition, Mr. Tizzio received $54,000, $46,500 and $34,050 in director's fees in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, from Transatlantic.

Mr. Bensinger and Mr. Robert Sandler, an executive officer who serves as Chairman of 21st Century Insurance Group, were each granted options to purchase 4,000 shares of common stock of 21st Century at a price of $13.61 per share (the fair market value of 21st Century common stock on the date of grant) on May 25, 2005 as compensation for services to 21st Century. These options become exercisable on May 25, 2006 and expire ten years from the date of grant.

The following table summarizes information about the exercise of AIG options during 2005 and the outstanding AIG options at December 31, 2005.

AIG executives participate in a series of two-year Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plans that historically have been provided by SICO. The original SICO Plan came into being in 1975 when the voting shareholders and Board of Directors of SICO, whose principal asset consists of AIG Common Stock, decided that a portion of the capital value of SICO should be used to provide an incentive plan for the current and succeeding management of all American International companies, including AIG. Participation in the SICO Plans by any person, and the amount of such participation, has been at the sole discretion of SICO's board of directors. Historically, SICO has delivered cash or AIG Common Stock under the SICO Plans; AIG has made no payments.

The shares detailed in the following table have been contingently allocated to the named individuals under the SICO plans. They will not be paid until retirement after reaching age 65 and are generally subject to forfeiture on earlier termination of employment. The SICO board of directors has the authority to reinstate a payout right and may permit early payout of shares. Before earning the right to payout, a participant is not entitled to any equity interest with respect to the contingently allocated shares. Although SICO's board of directors has authority to pay a participant cash in lieu of shares of AIG Common Stock, SICO's Board recently notified participants in the SICO plans that it will make payments in shares of AIG Common Stock rather than in cash.

The following table details the shares of AIG Common Stock that the AIG officers named in the Summary Compensation Table are eligible to receive upon retirement at or after age 65 under the terms of the SICO plans. No shares vested and no value was realized under these plans in 2005.

In addition to the AIG shares allocated under SICO plans, Messrs. Bensinger and Scott hold restricted stock units issued by AIG. Mr. Bensinger holds restricted stock units with respect to 23,780 AIG shares that vest on January 12, 2010, and Mr. Scott holds restricted stock units with respect to 6,500 AIG shares that vest on December 16, 2006, 6,500 AIG shares that vest on December 17, 2007 and 6,500 AIG shares that vest on December 16, 2008. On his resignation, Mr. Kanak forfeited restricted stock units with respect to 20,000 AIG shares.

The following table provides information about AIG shares that may be issued under compensation plans as of December 31, 2005.

AIG maintains two nonqualified defined benefit plans that provide retirement benefits to designated executives and key employees—the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) and the Excess Retirement Income Plan. In addition, employees of AIG and its subsidiaries who are citizens of the United States or non-citizens working in the United States are covered under the American International Group, Inc. Retirement Plan, a tax-qualified defined benefit plan. Participants receive the tax-qualified retirement plan benefit plus the greater of the benefit payable from the SERP or the Excess Retirement Income Plan, if applicable.

The SERP provides a benefit equal to 2.4 percent of Average Final Compensation for each year of service or fraction thereof limited to 25 years of service. The benefit payable under the plan is reduced by payments made from Social Security, the AIG tax-qualified retirement plan and any payments from a qualified pension plan of a prior employer.

The Excess Retirement Income Plan provides a benefit equal to the benefit that is restricted from being paid from the tax-qualified retirement plan due to IRS limits on compensation and benefits. Therefore, the plan formula is the same formula as is used in the tax-qualified retirement plan. The tax-qualified retirement plan formula varies depending on when years of service are credited and on the amount of Average Final Compensation. The formula ranges from 1.75 percent to 0.925 percent times Average Final Compensation for each year of service with a maximum limit of 44 years. For a participant who retires after the normal retirement age of 65, the retirement benefit is equal to the greater of the benefit determined using the formula described above or the benefit he could have received had he retired at age 65 actuarially increased to reflect the later commencement date.

For purposes of the plans, Average Final Compensation is the average pensionable salary of a participant during the three consecutive years in the last ten years of his credited service affording the highest such average, or during all of the years of his credited service if less than three years. Pensionable salary includes the

regular salary paid by AIG and its subsidiaries and does not include amounts attributable to supplementary bonuses or overtime pay.

The following table illustrates the annual normal retirement pension (including the tax-qualified retirement plan benefits) based on a range of Average Final Compensation and years of credited service.

For each of the individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table, the following table details his pensionable salary during 2005 and his years of credited service (at December 31, 2005 and at age 65) and estimated annual benefits (based on 2005 compensation).

In June 2005, AIG entered into fixed-term employment agreements with Messrs. Sullivan, Kanak and Bensinger. Mr. Kanak resigned in January 2006 and the terms of his termination are discussed in the following “2006 Employment Developments” section. The major terms of the continuing agreements with Messrs. Sullivan and Bensinger are:

Each of the other executives named in the Summary Compensation Table is a participant in AIG's executive severance plan. The plan provides severance payments and benefits to executives who are designated as Partners or Senior Partners. The major terms of the plan are:

Mr. Kanak's Resignation. Effective January 31, 2006, Mr. Kanak resigned from his employment with AIG for “Good Reason” pursuant to section 9(c) of his Employment Agreement. Under the terms of his Employment Agreement with AIG, Mr. Kanak is entitled to:

The severance is payable over 18 months and is subject to Mr. Kanak's compliance with restrictive covenants in his Employment Agreement. Severance payments are not included in the calculation of any AIG pension benefit, and Mr. Kanak is not entitled to receive any payment pursuant to any nonqualified AIG pension plan until the date he ceases receiving severance payments. Mr. Kanak's annual pension entitlement, after giving effect the additional credit provided for in his employment agreement, is $298,785. Mr. Kanak is also entitled to tax equalization payments in connection with his assignment in the Far East.

Mr. Kanak is not entitled to any unvested options, shares allocated under the 2005-2006 DCPPP and prior SICO DCPPPs or to any awards under the Senior Partners Plan. (However, SICO's Board of Directors has authority to reinstate Mr. Kanak's payout rights under the SICO DCPPPs.)

Mr. Tizzio's Retirement. Effective March 31, 2006, Mr. Tizzio retired from his employment with AIG. Because Mr. Tizzio, age 68, has reached AIG's normal retirement age, he is entitled to retain shares allocated under prior SICO DCPPPs and all his unvested options became exercisable on his retirement date. In addition, under the Senior Partners Plan, Mr. Tizzio will receive a pro-rated amount of units (based upon the number of months he was employed during the 2004-2006 performance period relative to 36) and under the 2005-2006 DCPPP, he will receive three-fourths of the allocated AIG shares.

In May 2000, SunAmerica Inc. established a private investment fund to permit employees to participate in investment opportunities by investing alongside SunAmerica. A trust controlled by Mr. Wintrob invested in this fund in 2000. Under the terms of the partnership agreement, an affiliate of SunAmerica provides a non-recourse loan to each limited partner equal to three times the limited partner's equity commitment. In 2005, distributions by the private investment fund to the trust controlled by Mr. Wintrob did not exceed $60,000.

Both Starr and SICO own substantial amounts of AIG Common Stock and have had other relationships with AIG. AIG is providing the following information to give a historical perspective on the payments made by Starr and SICO to AIG executive officers, including the individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table. The information in the following tables pertaining to SICO and Starr reflects the best information available to AIG, but AIG does not currently have full access to the books and records of Starr or SICO.

Payments and Benefits Provided by Starr and SICO. The following table details salary, bonus and directors' fees paid by Starr and SICO. To the extent these amounts were paid for services provided to AIG, they also are included in the Summary Compensation Table. Starr and SICO also provided perquisites and other personal benefits to AIG executives for their service to Starr and SICO. AIG does not currently have access to complete information and has not included these amounts in the table.

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

On January 9, 2006, Starr announced that it had completed its tender offers to purchase interests in Starr and that all eligible shareholders had tendered their shares. The tender offer price was $426 per Starr common share and 1.42 times the liquidation value of the Starr preferred shares. As a result of completion of the tender offer, no current AIG executive officer holds any Starr interest. The table below reflects holdings of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table as of January 1, 2005. AIG understands these were the holdings of the executives as of the times their shares were tendered.

Certain transactions in 2005 effected in the ordinary course of business between AIG and its subsidiaries and SICO and Starr are summarized in the following table:

The Audit Committee has worked closely with AIG management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, AIG's independent registered public accounting firm, to ensure the integrity of AIG's financial statements during what has been a challenging time for AIG.

In March 2005, AIG appointed a new Chief Executive Officer and a new Chief Financial Officer. The Committee began working immediately with these new executives to develop a strong control environment at AIG. In consultation with the Committee, AIG appointed a new Comptroller and Chief Accounting Officer, a new Director of Internal Audit, a new Treasurer and new divisional Chief Financial Officers. The Committee believed these management changes were critical to AIG's commitment to transparency and clear communication with all stakeholders through effective corporate governance, a strong control environment, high ethical standards and financial reporting integrity.

In connection with the first restatement of AIG's financial statements and AIG's remediation
efforts, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP significantly expanded the number of partners with financial services and
insurance expertise dedicated to the AIG engagement. The team is led by the head of the
PricewaterhouseCoopers Financial Services Practice and is structured with experienced
PricewaterhouseCoopers partners assigned to each of the four AIG segments. These partners oversee global audit activities relating to the business units within each of these segments and assisted in the overall coordination of the 2005 audit. Throughout 2005, the Committee spent considerable time with the expanded team discussing PricewaterhouseCoopers' experience and knowledge of each of the AIG business units and their respective financial reporting and controls, as well as the significant accounting principles and policies that affect AIG's financial reporting.

Three of the four independent directors newly-elected to AIG's Board of Directors in 2005 joined its Audit Committee, adding additional accounting expertise and depth of experience to the Committee. The following table lists the members of the Committee before and after AIG's 2005 annual meeting of shareholders:

As Interim Chairman, Mr. Zarb serves as an ex officio member of the Committee.

During 2005, the Committee held 21 meetings. The Committee provided oversight of AIG's internal review and participated actively in decisions relating to the restatements of AIG's financial statements. The Committee provided oversight to AIG's extensive remediation efforts and received regular updates on the progress of remediation of each of AIG's material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting from the Chief Risk Officer. Throughout the remediation process, the Chairman of the Committee has been in regular contact with the Chief Financial Officer, the Director of Internal Audit, the Chief Risk Officer and the PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP engagement team. Moreover, the Committee has consulted with its own outside counsel.

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

During the internal review and financial statement preparation process, and in connection with management's evaluations of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, AIG identified five material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, relating to control

environment, controls over the evaluation of risk transfer, controls over certain balance sheet reconciliations, controls over the accounting for certain derivative transactions and controls over income tax accounting. Upon identification of the material weaknesses and under the direction of its new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, AIG developed a comprehensive plan to remediate these material weaknesses.

AIG's remediation efforts were governed by a Steering Committee, under the direction of AIG's Chief Risk Officer and also including AIG's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Comptroller and Senior Vice President for Strategic Planning. The status of remediation of each material weakness was reviewed with the Audit Committee and the Committee was advised of issues encountered and key decisions reached by AIG management relating to the remediation efforts.

The remediation of material weaknesses in internal controls led to the successful remediation of the material weaknesses in control over financial reporting relating to control environment and controls over the evaluation of risk transfer as of December 31, 2005. The Committee believes that the significant actions taken by AIG to remediate these material weaknesses have created an improved financial reporting process at AIG and have been important to the continuing remediation efforts with respect to the three material weaknesses that are not yet fully remediated. Actions taken with Committee oversight include:

New Procedures. AIG has implemented new controls, including specific procedures with respect to post-closing adjustments and consolidating entries.

Employee and Other Resources. AIG has increased resources for technical accounting, internal audit, enterprise risk management and compliance functions, hired additional staff with specialized financial, accounting and product-line expertise, and established stronger reporting lines within the financial reporting function.

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

Financial Disclosure Committee. AIG has established a Financial Disclosure Committee to assist the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer in fulfilling their responsibilities for the accuracy and timeliness of the disclosures made by AIG.

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

Risk Transfer Policy. AIG has developed a formal risk transfer policy for direct insurance, assumed reinsurance and ceded reinsurance in the General Insurance segment, a policy which establishes guidelines for the assessment of the adequacy of risk transfer to support insurance accounting. Successful testing and evaluation of the new controls, which require appropriate documentation of the assessment of risk transfer, and the implementation of procedures to incorporate risk transfer assessments into AIG's underwriting and financial audit processes, has led to remediation of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting relating to controls over the evaluation of risk transfer.

The Committee remains focused on overseeing AIG's efforts to achieve full remediation of its three remaining material weaknesses and to continue to improve the financial reporting process at AIG. AIG has devoted significant efforts towards remediation and continues to assign these efforts its highest priority. The Audit Committee has overseen management's development of new controls over financial reporting, which include the following measures:

Controls over certain balance sheet reconciliations. AIG has adopted and is implementing new corporate guidelines on balance sheet reconciliations and is enhancing the processes for evaluating and monitoring financial statement exposure related to balance sheet reconciliations, as well as implementing new programs to train staff on the requirements of the new guidelines. AIG has also enhanced oversight of the balance sheet reconciliation function by hiring additional qualified staff and engaging outside resources.

Controls over the accounting for certain derivative transactions. AIG has enhanced systems and new controls over the accounting for derivatives and related assets and liabilities to ensure compliance with the provisions of FAS 133. AIG has also improved oversight, monitoring and supervision of hedge accounting issues by hiring additional personnel with expertise in FAS 133.

Controls over income tax accounting. AIG has enhanced oversight over income tax accounting through hiring of additional qualified staff and has engaged an outside accounting firm to assist in the analysis of its income tax accounting. AIG is also enhancing the processes for evaluating and monitoring financial statement exposure related to income tax accounting.

The Committee continues to oversee AIG's management on its analysis, implementation and testing of AIG's controls over financial reporting. The Committee recognizes that further and sustainable improvement in these controls is essential, and will require time and significant additional resources, including improvement and investment in systems, processes and training and depth of personnel.

In the performance of its oversight function, the Committee has considered and discussed the 2005 audited financial statements with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The Committee has also discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as currently in effect. Finally, the Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as currently in effect, and has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP its independence.

Based upon the reports and discussions described in this report and the role and responsibilities of the Audit Committee described in the Audit Committee charter, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board approved, inclusion of the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 in AIG's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. As a result of the Committee's direct knowledge of and experience with the PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP engagement team and its performance described above, the Committee is recommending the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as AIG's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

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

• the independent accountants' qualifications, independence and performance; and

The Committee's charter is available on AIG's corporate website, at www.aigcorporate.com and is attached as Appendix D.

Amendments to charter. The Committee adopted amendments to its charter to reflect in greater detail its responsibilities in overseeing AIG's internal audit function. Specifically, under the amended charter, the Committee may appoint, replace, reassign and dismiss the chief internal auditor, and the chief internal auditor, who currently holds the executive title of Director of Internal Audit, will report directly to the Committee. In its oversight role of AIG's internal audit function, the Committee also is involved in performance reviews of, and determining compensation for, the chief internal auditor.

Independence. The Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has determined that all members of the Committee are independent, as required by NYSE listing standards and the SEC rules.

Expertise. The Board of Directors has also determined, on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, that all members of the Committee are financially literate, as defined by NYSE listing standards, and that a majority of the members of the Committee are audit committee financial experts, as defined by the SEC rules. For purposes of the SEC rules, the Board of Directors has designated Mr. Offit the named audit committee financial expert and, on the recommendation of the Nominating and

Corporate Governance Committee, has determined that Mr. Offit has accounting or related financial management expertise, as defined by the NYSE listing standards. Although designated as an audit committee financial expert, Mr. Offit does not act as an accountant for AIG and, under the SEC rules, is not an “expert” for purposes of the liability provisions of the Securities Act or for any other purpose. Mr. Offit does not have any responsibilities or obligations in addition to those of the other Audit Committee members; all Audit Committee members have the identical duties and responsibilities.

The Committee believes that AIG's commitment to transparency, a strong control environment, high ethical standards and financial reporting integrity is evidenced by the substantial achievements and continuing steps that have been taken in the remediation effort. The Committee believes its on-going guidance to AIG management in this process will further enhance AIG's financial reporting.

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have approved the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as AIG's independent registered public accounting firm for 2006. Representatives of that firm are expected to be present at the 2006 annual meeting with an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

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

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

Throughout 2005, the Audit Committee has spent a significant amount of time with the PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP engagement team, which is led by the head of the PricewaterhouseCoopers Financial Services Practice and is structured with experienced PricewaterhouseCoopers financial services and insurance partners assigned to each of the four AIG segments. As noted in the Report of the Audit Committee, the matters discussed include PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's experience and knowledge of each of the AIG business units and their respective financial reporting and controls, as well as the significant accounting principles and policies that affect AIG's financial reporting. As a result of the Committee's direct knowledge of and experience with the PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP engagement team and its performance, the Audit Committee has recommended the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as AIG's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

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

The following table shows information about fees paid by AIG to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

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

AIG is submitting the Executive Incentive Plan for the approval of shareholders.

The EIP is a performance-based compensation program that will establish an overall formula for performance awards to senior executives. Under the EIP, each participating executive's yearly maximum performance compensation is first determined based on AIG's adjusted net income for the year. The Compensation Committee may then reduce a participant's performance compensation to an amount that is less than the formula amount.

The EIP is being submitted for approval so that awards under the EIP qualify as “performance-based compensation” for tax purposes and are therefore deductible. The intent of the EIP is to provide for deductible compensation that perpetuates the sense of partnership that exists among AIG's senior executives and reinforces the alignment of employee and shareholder interests. The Board of Directors unanimously adopted the EIP on March 15, 2006, subject to approval by shareholders.

Approval of the EIP requires approval by a majority of the shares of AIG Common Stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting.

The following is a summary of the EIP. It is not complete, and shareholders should refer to the copy of the EIP in Appendix G for full details.

The EIP will be administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may take action by a majority vote of its members and may delegate to any person who is not a member of the Compensation Committee any of its administrative responsibilities, consistent with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for designating key employees who will participate in the EIP for a given performance period within 90 days of the start of that period. The Compensation Committee will have the authority to remove a participant from the EIP at any time during a performance period and may make non-uniform decisions under the EIP, including decisions regarding which executives participate, any reduction in a participant's incentive award and any determination of whether a participant has been terminated for purposes of the EIP.

The EIP will operate for successive one-year performance periods. The first performance period will run from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006.

Each participant in the EIP may receive an incentive award of up to three-tenths of one percent (0.3%) of AIG's adjusted net income for the performance period. This amount may be reduced in the discretion of the Compensation Committee by any amount that the Compensation Committee determines appropriate.

The EIP provides that AIG's adjusted net income is the consolidated net income of AIG and its subsidiaries (determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) before:

The amount of each participant's incentive award for the first performance period will be determined based on AIG's adjusted net income for 2006 and will be subject to the Compensation Committee's discretion to reduce any participant's incentive award. As a result, it is not possible to determine the amount that will be payable to any participant this year. Also, because of the Compensation Committee's discretion to reduce any participant's incentive award, AIG cannot determine the incentive awards that would have been paid had the EIP been in effect in 2005. AIG believes, however, that the Compensation Committee would have used its discretion to pay the same amounts in 2005 if the EIP had been in effect that year. The following table illustrates these amounts.

Once a participant's incentive award has been determined for a performance period, it will be payable, at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, in the form of cash awards, deferred cash-based awards and/or equity-based awards. This includes the payment of cash bonuses, the grant of vested or unvested equity-based awards, the payment or accrual of long-term cash-based amounts under the AIG Senior Partners Plan and the grant or accrual of long-term equity-based amounts under the AIG Partners Plan. This flexibility will allow the Compensation Committee to tailor the incentive awards to AIG's specific needs.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for valuing the various forms of compensation it uses to pay incentive awards. For this purpose, the value used by the Compensation Committee will be as follows:

From time to time, the Compensation Committee may designate other AIG compensation plans that will operate as sub-plans under the EIP. For any participant in the EIP who is also a participant in any designated sub-plan, awards will be earned in those sub-plans only to the extent that the Compensation Committee determines to pay the EIP incentive award through those sub-plans. The Compensation Committee has initially designated the annual cash bonus program, the AIG Senior Partners Plan and AIG Partners Plan as sub-plans of the EIP.

For example, if an executive is a participant in both the EIP and the Senior Partners Plan, the executive will receive a deferred cash award under the Senior Partners Plan only if (1) the Senior Partners Plan minimum threshold is met for the performance period, (2) the participant's EIP incentive award is sufficient to cover the Partners Plan award, and (3) the Compensation Committee determines to pay the EIP incentive award, in part through the Senior Partners Plan.

The EIP was designed so that all awards under the EIP are considered “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder. Section 162(m) limits the deductibility of compensation paid to certain executive officers in excess of $1 million, but excludes “performance-based compensation” from this limit. Awards under the EIP are intended to constitute “performance-based compensation” for these purposes. Likewise, compensation realized by executive officers through the exercise of stock options should be fully deductible to AIG as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m).

If approved by the shareholders, the EIP will continue until suspended or terminated by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. If the EIP is not approved by the AIG shareholders, no amounts will be paid under the EIP. The Board of Directors may amend the EIP at any time. The Board of Directors may, but is not required to, seek shareholder approval of amendments to the EIP.

Your Board of Directors knows of no other matters to be presented at the meeting. If any other matters properly come before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy form to vote the proxy in accordance with their judgment on such matters.

All suggestions from shareholders are given careful attention. Proposals intended for inclusion in next year's Proxy Statement pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8 should be sent to the Secretary of AIG at 70 Pine Street, New York, New York 10270 and must be received by December 6, 2006. Under the AIG by-laws, notice of any other shareholder proposal or the nomination of a candidate for election as a director to be made at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be received not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to May 17, 2007 unless the 2007 Annual Meeting is not scheduled to be held on a date between April 17, 2007 and June 16, 2007, in which case notice must be received no less than the later of 90 days prior to the date on which such meeting is scheduled or 10 days after the date on which such meeting date is first publicly announced. A copy of the current AIG by-laws may be obtained from the Secretary of AIG.

The following table contains information regarding the only persons who, to the knowledge of AIG, beneficially own more than five percent of AIG's Common Stock.

The following table summarizes the ownership of equity securities of AIG by the directors and nominees, by the current and former executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table and by the directors and current executive officers as a group.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires directors, executive officers, and ten percent holders of AIG Common Stock to file reports concerning their ownership of AIG equity securities. Based solely on the review of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 furnished to AIG and certain representations made to AIG, AIG believes that the only filing deficiencies under Section 16(a) by its directors, executive officers, and ten percent holders during 2005 were one late report by Mr. Stephen L. Hammerman, a director, as a result of an administrative error by AIG, reporting the exempt acquisition of 250 shares in June of 2005 as part of his director's compensation; three late reports by Mr. David L. Herzog, an executive officer, reflecting the disposition of an aggregate of 1,066 shares (280 shares in June 2005, 280 shares in August 2005 and 500 shares in November 2005); a late initial report by Mr. Eric N. Litzky, reflecting his election as an executive officer in November 2005; two late reports by Mr. Rodney O.

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

In accordance with a notice sent to certain shareholders of AIG Common Stock who hold AIG Common Stock through a broker or otherwise through a nominee and who share a single address, only one copy of this Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement and AIG's 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders is being sent to that address unless AIG receives contrary instructions from any shareholder at that address. This practice, known as “householding”, is designed to reduce printing and postage costs. However, if any shareholder residing at such address wishes to receive a separate copy of this Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement or AIG's Annual Report to Shareholders, he or she may contact the AIG Director of Investor Relations at 70 Pine Street, New York, New York 10270, 212-770-6293, and AIG will deliver those documents to such shareholder promptly upon receiving the request. Any such shareholder may also contact the AIG Director of Investor Relations if he or she would like to receive separate proxy materials and annual reports in the future. If a shareholder receives multiple copies of AIG's proxy materials and annual reports, he or she may request householding in the future by contacting the AIG Director of Investor Relations.

AIG will bear the cost of this solicitation of proxies. Proxies may be solicited by mail, personal interview, telephone and facsimile transmission by directors, their associates, and approximately eight officers and regular employees of AIG and its subsidiaries. In addition to the foregoing, AIG has retained Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of approximately $12,500 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements of that firm. AIG will reimburse brokers and others holding AIG Common Stock in their names, or in the names of nominees, for forwarding proxy materials to their principals.

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

The business of AIG is conducted by management under the oversight of the Board. The roles of the Board and management are related, but distinct. AIG's business strategy is developed and implemented under the leadership and direction of the Chief Executive Officer by its officers and other employees. The members of the Board serve as the elected representatives of the current and future shareholders, act as advisers and counselors to the Chief Executive Officer and senior management and oversee management's performance on behalf of the shareholders. In performing its general oversight function, the Board reviews and assesses AIG's strategic and business planning as well as management's approach to addressing significant risks and challenges facing AIG. As part of this function, the Board reviews and discusses reports regularly submitted to the Board by management with respect to AIG's performance, as well as significant events, issues and risks that may affect AIG's business or financial performance. In performing its oversight function, the Board and its members will maintain frequent, active and open communication and discussions with the Chief Executive Officer and the management of AIG.

The size and composition of the Board is to be determined from time to time by the Board itself in an effort to balance the following goals:

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

The Board currently plans to hold at least six regular meetings each year, with further meetings to occur when called by the Chairman or the Chief Executive Officer or requested by two directors as provided in the by-laws.

The Chairman will oversee the preparation of the agendas for meetings of the Board in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer. Any director may suggest the inclusion of additional subjects on the agenda. The agenda for each committee meeting will be established by the respective committee chairman. Management will endeavor to provide all directors an agenda and appropriate materials in advance of meetings, although the Board recognizes that this will not always be consistent with the timing of transactions, the operations of the business and, in certain cases, it may not be desirable to circulate materials in advance of the meeting. Materials presented to the Board or its committees should be as concise as practicable but consistent with the need to provide the information needed for the directors to make an informed judgment and engage in informed discussion. As provided in the by-laws, the Board or any committee thereof may also take action by unanimous written consent.

To ensure free and open discussion and communication among the Independent Directors of the Board, the Independent Directors will meet in executive sessions, with no members of management present, in conjunction with each regular (non-telephonic) meeting of the Board. The Chairman will preside at the executive sessions unless the Chairman is unable to attend, in which case the Independent Directors will designate one of the Independent Directors to preside. In addition, unless the Chairman decides it to be unnecessary, the Chief

Executive Officer will join a portion of each executive session to give the Independent Directors an opportunity to consult with the Chief Executive Officer.

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

Shareholders may communicate directly with one or more directors by (1) writing to them c/o Secretary, American International Group, Inc., 70 Pine Street, New York, NY 10270 or (2) email at an address that will be included in the annual proxy statement.

AIG believes that self-evaluations of the Board, the standing committees of the Board and individual directors are important elements of corporate governance. Under the general oversight of the Chairman:

AIG, and its subsidiaries, make charitable gifts, grants, contributions, commitments and pledges and awards of various types (collectively “gifts”) in the ordinary course of their business to charities, including foundations, endowments, trusts, charitable organizations and groups, cultural and educational institutions and others (collectively, “institutions”). The Board has adopted the following guidelines with respect to the making of such gifts:

AIG, and its subsidiaries, make political contributions in the ordinary course of their business for the furtherance of AIG's business interests. It is the responsibility of management to determine whether a contribution satisfies this purpose before it is made, pledged or committed for. All political contributions will be made in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Management will provide the Public Policy and Social Responsibility Committee with a report, at least annually, with respect to all political contributions that have been made since the last such report. The Public Policy and Social Responsibility Committee will report to the Board, at least annually, with respect to its review of the report provided by management on political contributions.

The Board will have direct access to, and complete and open communication with, senior management and may obtain advice and assistance from internal legal, accounting and other advisors to assist it. In performing its functions, the Board is entitled to rely on the advice, reports and opinions of management as well as legal, accounting and other advisors retained by AIG. The Board may retain, if appropriate, independent legal, accounting and other advisors to assist the Board (or, when appropriate, the Independent Directors), and may determine the compensation of such advisors, and AIG will be responsible for any costs or expenses so incurred.

A director having any of the following relationships will be deemed to have a material relationship⁽¹⁾ with AIG⁽²⁾ and will not be considered “independent”:

The following relationships and transactions shall not be deemed material for purposes of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. The fact that a particular relationship or transaction is not addressed by the below standards or exceeds the thresholds in one or more of these standards shall not create a presumption that the director is or is not “independent”.

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
REGULATORY, COMPLIANCE AND LEGAL COMMITTEE CHARTER
(Amended March 15, 2006)

The Regulatory, Compliance and Legal Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) assists the Board in its oversight of AIG's handling of legal, regulatory and compliance matters. The Committee has the authority to take such steps as it deems necessary and appropriate in providing such oversight, but the Board reserves the right to approve the settlement or disposition of any legal, regulatory or compliance matter that requires Board involvement or action.

The Committee shall be comprised of at least three non-management directors, each of whom shall serve at the pleasure of the Board and a majority of whom shall be “independent” under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”). The Board shall appoint a Chairman of the Committee.

The Committee will meet at least four times a year or more frequently as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its responsibilities.

The Chairman shall in consultation with other Committee members, set the agenda for and preside at meetings of the Committee. The Secretary of AIG or another designated individual shall record and keep minutes of all Committee meetings.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) has determined that certain key employees of AIG and its subsidiaries (together, the “Employer”) contribute substantially to the long-term growth and profitability of AIG. AIG has created this AIG Executive Incentive Plan (this “Plan”) to reward these individuals and to provide incentives for their continued contribution to the long-term performance of AIG. It is also intended that all Incentive Award Amounts (as defined in Section 4) payable or provided for under this Plan be considered “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and the regulations thereunder, and this Plan will be interpreted accordingly.

This Plan will operate for successive one year periods (each a “Performance Period”). The first Performance Period will run from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. Thereafter, each Performance Period will be for successive calendar year periods.

A. Participants. Before the 90th day after the beginning of the Performance Period, or otherwise in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation 1.162-27(e)(2) (the “Establishment Date”), the Committee will designate those individuals who will participate in this Plan for each Performance Period (the “Participants”). The names of the Participants will be set forth on a schedule (the “Performance Period Schedule”).

B. Changes During a Performance Period. Except as provided below, the Committee will have the authority at any time (1) during the Performance Period to remove Participants from this Plan for that Performance Period and (2) before the Establishment Date to add Participants to this Plan for a particular Performance Period. The Committee will amend the Performance Period Schedule to reflect an individual's addition to, or removal from, this Plan.

A. Calculation. Each Participant may be paid or provided with an incentive award amount under this Plan equal to 0.3% of AIG's Adjusted Net Income with respect to each Performance Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, reduce the incentive award amount for any Participant for a particular Performance Period at any time prior to the payment of incentive awards to Participants pursuant to Section 5 (a Participant's incentive award for each Performance Period, as so reduced, the “Incentive Award Amount”).

For purposes of this Plan, “Adjusted Net Income” will be the net income of AIG and subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (1) without giving effect to (a) realized capital gains or losses, net of tax; (b) the cumulative effect of changes in accounting treatment during the relevant periods, net of tax; (c) the cumulative effect of changes in tax laws during the relevant period; (d) FAS 133 gains and losses, excluding realized capital gains or losses, net of tax; or (e) extraordinary items related to acquisition, restructuring and related charges, net of tax; or (f) other extraordinary items and any other unusual or non-recurring items of loss or expense, net of tax and (2) with adjustments in the case of cash acquisitions in excess of $5 billion to equalize the effect of acquisitions for cash and acquisitions for AIG common stock.

B. Certification. Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Committee will certify in writing AIG's Adjusted Net Income for such Performance Period.

C. Termination During a Performance Period. If a Participant's employment with the Employer terminates for any reason before the end of a Performance Period, unless otherwise provided in the Performance Period Schedule, the Committee will have the discretion to determine whether (1) such Participant will be entitled to any Incentive Award Amount, (2) such Participant's Incentive Award Amount will be reduced on a pro-rata basis to

reflect the portion of such Performance Period the Participant was employed by the Employer or (3) to make such other arrangements as the Committee deems appropriate in connection with the termination of such Participant's employment.

A. Range of Awards. Each Participant's Incentive Award Amount will be payable or provided for, in the sole discretion of the Committee, in cash, deferred cash-based awards and/or equity-based awards. By way of example, and without limitation, a Participant's Incentive Award Amount may be paid or provided for in the form of annual cash bonuses, the grant of vested or unvested equity-based awards, the payment or accrual of long-term cash bonus amounts under the AIG Senior Partners Plan or the grant or accrual of long-term equity-based amounts under the AIG Partners Plan, in each case for the current period or for future periods.

B. Interaction with Sub-Plans. From time to time, the Committee may designate other Employer compensation plans that will operate as sub-plans under this Plan (each such Plan, a “Sub-Plan”). For any Participant who also participates in a Sub-Plan, awards under the Sub-Plan will be earned during a Performance Period only to the extent that the Committee determines to pay or provide for the Participant's Incentive Award Amount through awards earned under the Sub-Plan. To the extent the Committee does not determine to so pay or provide for a Participant's Incentive Award Amount or a Participant's Incentive Award Amount is insufficient for this purpose, the Participant will not earn an award under the Sub-Plan (without regard to whether non-Participants earn awards under the Sub-Plan during the relevant Period).

C. Valuation of Equity Awards. For the purpose of paying or providing for a Participant's Incentive Award Amount, (1) the accrued or awarded cash value at the end of the Performance Period will be used to value any long-term cash based awards, (2) the closing price of the AIG common stock on the last trading day of the Performance Period will be used as the value of each AIG equity-based award which is based upon the full value of a share of common stock and (3) the fair value (based on the methodology used by AIG with respect to the Performance Period in its financial statements and on closing price of AIG common stock on the date of grant) will be used as the value of each AIG stock option or stock appreciation right (to the extent any such award would be awarded pursuant to Section 5A).

D. Terms of Awards. Any award which is paid or provided for in respect of a Participant's Incentive Award Amount will be subject to such terms and conditions (including vesting requirements) as the Committee and the administrative committee of any plan (including any Sub-Plan) under which such award is granted may determine.

A. General. This Plan will be administered by the Committee. Actions of the Committee may be taken by the vote of a majority of its members. The Committee may allocate among its members and delegate to any person who is not a member of the Committee any of its administrative responsibilities; provided, however, the Committee may not delegate any of its authority or administrative responsibility hereunder (and no such attempted delegation will be effective) if such delegation would cause any Incentive Award Amount payable or provided for under this Plan not to be considered performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, and any such attempted delegation will be void ab initio. The Committee will have power to interpret this Plan, to make regulations for carrying out its purpose and to make all other determinations in connection with its administration, all of which will, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, be final, binding and conclusive.

B. Non-Uniform Determinations. To the extent permitted by Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, the Committee's determinations under this Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among Participants (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee will be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations as to (1) the persons to become Participants, (2) the reduction in a Participant's Incentive Award Amount for each Performance Period and (3) whether employment with the Employer has been terminated for purposes of this Plan.

C. Amendments. The Board will have the power to amend this Plan in any manner and at any time, including in a manner adverse to the rights of the Participants. Unless the Committee determines that the Incentive Award Amounts under this Plan should not constitute performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, no amendment that would require shareholder approval in order

for Incentive Award Amounts paid pursuant to this Plan to constitute performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code will be effective without the approval of the shareholders of AIG as required by Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

D. No Liability. No member of the Board of Directors of AIG or the Committee or any employee of the Employer (each a “Covered Person”) will have any liability to any person (including any Participant) for any action taken or omitted to be taken or any determination made in good faith with respect to this Plan or any Participant's participation in it. Each Covered Person will be indemnified and held harmless by AIG against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense (including attorneys' fees) that may be imposed upon or incurred by such Covered Person in connection with or resulting from any action, suit or proceeding to which such Covered Person may be a party or in which such Covered Person may be involved by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken under this Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by such Covered Person, with AIG's approval, in settlement thereof, or paid by such Covered Person in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against such Covered Person, provided that AIG will have the right, at its own expense, to assume and defend any such action, suit or proceeding and, once AIG gives notice of its intent to assume the defense, AIG will have sole control over such defense with counsel of AIG's choice. The foregoing right of indemnification will not be available to a Covered Person to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment or other final adjudication, in either case, not subject to further appeal, determines that the acts or omissions of such Covered Person giving rise to the indemnification claim resulted from such Covered Person's bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct. The foregoing right of indemnification will not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which Covered Persons may be entitled under AIG's Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any other power that AIG may have to indemnify such persons or hold them harmless.

A. No Funding. AIG will be under no obligation to fund or set aside amounts to pay obligations under this Plan. Participants will have no rights to any amounts under this Plan other than as a general unsecured creditor of AIG.

B. Tax Withholding. As a condition to the payment of any amount under this Plan or in connection with any other event that gives rise to a federal or other governmental tax withholding obligation (1) AIG may deduct or withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) from any payment to a Participant whether or not pursuant to this Plan or (2) the Committee will be entitled to require that the Participant remit cash to AIG (through payroll deduction or otherwise), in each case, in an amount sufficient in the opinion of AIG to satisfy such withholding obligation.

C. No Rights to Other Payments. The provisions of this Plan provide no right or eligibility to a Participant to any other payouts from AIG or its subsidiaries under any other alternative plans, schemes, arrangements or contracts AIG may have with any employees or group of employees of AIG or its subsidiaries.

D. No Effect on Benefits. Grants and payments under this Plan will constitute special discretionary incentive payments to the Participants and will not be required to be taken into account in computing the amount of salary or compensation of the Participants for the purpose of determining any contributions to or any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit-sharing, bonus, life insurance, severance or other benefit plan of the Employer or under any agreement with a Participant, unless the Employer specifically provides otherwise.

E. Section 409A Payment Delay. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan, to the extent any payment to be made to a Participant in connection with the Participant's termination of service with the Employer would be subject to the additional tax of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), the payment will be delayed until six months after a Participant's termination of service with the Employer (or earlier death or disability (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code)).

F. Severability. If any of the provisions of this Plan is finally held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable (whether in whole or in part), such provision will be deemed modified to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability and the remaining provisions will not be affected thereby; provided, that if any of such provisions is finally held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable because it exceeds the maximum scope determined to be acceptable to permit such provision to be enforceable, such provision will be deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to modify such scope in order to make such provision enforceable hereunder.

G. Entire Agreement. This Plan contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations and warranties between them, whether written or oral with respect to the subject matter thereof.

H. Waiver of Claims. Each Participant recognizes and agrees that prior to being selected by the Committee to be a Participant he or she has no right to any benefits under this Plan. Accordingly, in consideration of the Participant's participation hereunder, he or she expressly waives any right to contest the amount of any Incentive Award Amounts, the terms of this Plan, any determination, action or omission hereunder by the Committee or AIG or any amendment to this Plan.

I. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided therein, this Plan will not confer on any person other than AIG and the Participant any rights or remedies thereunder. The exculpation and indemnification provisions of Section 6D will inure to the benefit of a Covered Person's estate and beneficiaries and legatees.

J. AIG's Successors and Assigns. The terms of this Plan will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of AIG and its successors and assigns.

K. Right of Offset. AIG will have the right to offset against the obligation to pay an amount to any Participant, any outstanding amounts (including, without limitation, travel and entertainment or advance account balances, loans or amounts repayable to it pursuant to tax equalization, housing, automobile or other employee programs) such Participant then owes to the Employer.

L. Nonassignability. A Participant's rights under this Plan will not be assignable, transferable, pledged, hedged or in any manner alienated, whether by operation of law or otherwise, except as a result of death or incapacity where such rights are passed pursuant to a will or by operation of law. Any assignment, transfer, pledge, or other disposition in violation of the provisions of this Section 7L will be null and void and any rights which are hedged in any manner will immediately be forfeited.

M. Right to Discharge. Nothing contained in this Plan will confer on any Participant any right to be continued in the employ of the Employer or to be included in any future plans of a similar nature.

N. Consent. If the Committee will at any time determine that any consent (as hereinafter defined) is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of any right, the making of any determination or the payment of any amount under this Plan, or the taking of any other action thereunder (each such action, a “plan action”), then such plan action will not be taken, in whole or in part, unless and until such consent will have been effected or obtained to the full satisfaction of the Committee.

A. Governing Law. This Plan will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

B. Dispute Resolution and Related Provisions. AIG agrees to the following provisions. By the acceptance of any Incentive Award Amount, each Participant agrees to accept the provisions of this Plan, including, without limitations, the following:

(1)		If any of the individuals named in the table is employed by AIG or its subsidiaries at the end of the eighth year after units are granted and has not yet reached age 65, he will be contingently allocated additional AIG shares equal to 20 percent of the shares initially allocated.

(2)		Senior Partner Units awarded for 2006 will determine participation for three performance periods, 2004 through 2006, 2005 through 2007 and 2006 through 2008, and for future performance periods, in each case until the number of units is adjusted by the Compensation Committee.

(3)		The amounts that will be earned under the Senior Partners Plan for any performance period cannot be determined at this time. Amounts shown represent the amounts that would have been earned if the performance for the 2003-2005 period were repeated for the 2004-2006 performance period. These amounts are shown for illustration only.

(4)		Mr. Kanak forfeited these units on his resignation. Because Mr. Tizzio retired after age 65, he is entitled to a pro rata amount of these units on the terms set forth in the 2005-2006 DCPPP and the Senior Partners Plan.


(1)		As discussed in the Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation, a mid-year option grant was made on September 1, 2005 and a normal, year-end option grant was made on December 14, 2005.

(2)		Value calculated based on AIG's binomial option-pricing model, which uses AIG's historical exercise experience to determine the option value. The following weighted average assumptions were used for stock options granted on September 1, 2005 and for stock options granted to directors on August 11, 2005 and October 21, 2005: a dividend yield of 0.67 percent; expected volatility of 29.24 percent; risk-free interest rate of 3.93 percent; and an expected term of 7 years. The result for September 1, 2005 is a value of 36.51 percent of market price. The following weighted average assumptions were used for stock options granted on December 14, 2005: a dividend yield of 0.83 percent; expected volatility of 23.21 percent; risk-free interest rate of 4.46 percent; and an expected term of 7 years. The result for December 14, 2005 is a value of 32.60 percent of market price.

(3)		Mr. Kanak forfeited these options on his resignation.

(4)		Includes individuals who held those positions as of December 31, 2005.

(5)		Weighted average exercise price per share.


(1)		Aggregate market value on date of exercise (closing sale price as reported in the NYSE Composite Transactions Report) less aggregate exercise price.

(2)		Aggregate market value on December 31, 2005 (closing sale price as reported in NYSE Composite Transactions Report) less aggregate exercise price.

(3)		Mr. Kanak forfeited unexercisable options on his resignation.

(4)		Mr. Tizzio deferred receipt of 39,674 shares, with an aggregate value of $2,700,212, and Mr. Greenberg deferred receipt of 137,273 shares with an aggregate value of $9,058,703.


(1)		AIG does not have current information regarding the interests of Messrs. Greenberg and Smith in the SICO plans. As of December 31, 2004, Mr. Greenberg had 3,680,759 AIG shares contingently allocated under SICO plans and Mr. Smith had 424,403 AIG shares contingently allocated.

(2)		Based on closing price of AIG Common Stock at December 31, 2005 ($68.23).

(3)		Under the terms of the SICO plans, Mr. Kanak forfeited these shares on his resignation. The SICO board of directors has the authority to reinstate a payout right.

(4)		Messrs. Martin and Scott are eligible for early payout with respect to some of the shares contingently allocated to them.


(1)		23,020,860 shares were outstanding as a result of AIG's assumption of options granted by entities acquired by AIG, at a weighted average option exercise price of $45.05 per share. AIG has not made, and will not make, any future grants or awards of equity securities under the plans of these acquired companies.

(2)		Weighted average value of restricted stock units at date of grant was $63.63.

(3)		An additional 1,000,000 shares become available for grant or award in each year pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Incentive Plan.

(4)		Effective with the approval of the 1999 Stock Option Plan by the Board of Directors in September 1999, option grants to directors were made pursuant to that plan.

(5)		Excludes restricted stock units.

(1)		Neither Mr. Scott nor Mr. Martin participate in the SERP.

(2)		Because Mr. Tizzio's Excess Retirement Income Plan benefit exceeds his SERP benefit, Mr. Tizzio's nonqualified benefit is based solely on the Excess Retirement Income Plan formula. Mr. Tizzio's benefits equal his age-65 Excess Retirement Income Plan benefit with an actuarial adjustment, plus his age-65 qualified pension plan benefit with an actuarial adjustment.

(3)		Mr. Greenberg elected to commence his retirement plan benefits under the tax-qualified retirement plan on January 1, 1996 at the age of 70¹⁄2 and under the nonqualified plans on October 1, 2004. His Excess Retirement Income Plan benefit exceeds his SERP benefit, and therefore, Mr. Greenberg's nonqualified benefit is based solely on the Excess Retirement Income Plan formula. Because his benefits commenced after age 65, his benefits are equal to his age-65 Excess Retirement Income Plan benefit with an actuarial adjustment plus his age-65 qualified pension benefit with an actuarial adjustment. His total annual benefit from the retirement plans is payable in the form of a 100 percent joint and survivor annuity.

(4)		Mr. Smith is only entitled to a benefit under AIG's qualified pension plan.

	•	3-Year Term. Each agreement has a three-year term that runs from March 14, 2005.

	•	Annual Base Salary. The agreements establish minimum base salaries of $1,000,000 for Mr. Sullivan and $750,000 for Mr. Bensinger. Base salary is reviewed annually and may be increased by the Compensation Committee.

	•	Annual Non-Variable Compensation. The agreements also establish minimum non-variable compensation of $1,125,000 for Mr. Sullivan and $750,000 for Mr. Bensinger for each year.

	•	Incentive Targets. The agreements provide that each executive is eligible for an annual cash bonus, long-term incentive awards and equity-based compensation. For each of 2006 and 2007, the total target value of these incentives is $12,875,000 for Mr. Sullivan and $5,000,000 for Mr. Bensinger. Depending on performance, the actual amount of these awards may be above or below the targets.

	•	Severance Payments and Benefits. If the executive's employment is terminated by AIG without “Cause” or by the executive for “Good Reason,” subject to the executive's execution of a release of claims, the executive is entitled to the following:



	•	A pro rata portion of the target annual bonus;

	•	Severance of three times annual base salary and last year's annual bonus (subject to minimums of $15,000,000 for Mr. Sullivan and $7,500,000 for Mr. Bensinger) payable over 12 months;

	•	Three years of continued health and life insurance coverage;

	•	Three years of service and age credit under AIG's pension plans; and

	•	Enhanced eligibility for retiree medical or life insurance benefits.

		The preceding will cease if, before the payment or benefit is due, the Board determines that grounds existed for AIG to terminate the executive's employment for “Cause.” Severance payments are not included in the calculation of any AIG pension benefit, and the executive is not entitled to receive any payment pursuant to any nonqualified AIG pension plan until the date the executive has ceased receiving severance payments.

	•	Gross-Up for “Golden Parachute” Taxes. If any amounts payable to the executive are subject to an additional “golden parachute” excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, AIG will “gross up” the amounts so that the executive is not affected by the tax.

	•	Restrictive Covenants. Except as noted, the following apply during employment and at all times following termination:



	•	Each executive is generally prohibited from (1) engaging in, being employed by, rendering services to, or acquiring financial interests in businesses that are competitive with AIG, (2) interfering with AIG's business relationships with customers, suppliers, or consultants or (3) soliciting or hiring certain key employees of AIG. This restriction applies for 12 months following any termination.

	•	Each executive must cooperate with AIG in the defense of legal matters and with government authorities in regards to any investigation, litigation or administrative proceeding relating to AIG; and

	•	Each executive may not disclose AIG's confidential information.

	•	3-Year Term. The plan has a three-year term that runs from March 14, 2005.

	•	Severance Payments and Benefits. The plan does not provide for payments or benefits if a participant's employment is terminated voluntarily by the participant, by AIG for “Cause” or by reason of death, disability or retirement.

	•	For each full year of the participant's service with AIG or its subsidiaries (but no less than 6 nor more than 24 years), severance equal to one-twelfth of annual base salary and average annual and quarterly bonuses over the past three fiscal years;

	•	Continued health and life insurance; and

	•	Additional service and age credit under AIG pension plans.

		Severance is generally paid in installments over a number of months equal to the participant's full years of service with AIG or its subsidiaries (but not less than 6 months or more than a 24 months). The continued health and life insurance is also provided over this period, and the length of this period is used for determining the additional credit to AIG pension plans. The amount of severance payable is reduced by any amount due under an individual employment agreement, other AIG severance plan or policy or regulatory severance plan or arrangement in a country outside the United States.

		Severance payments are not included in the calculation of any AIG pension benefit, and no participant is entitled to receive any payment pursuant to any nonqualified AIG pension plan until the date the participant has ceased receiving severance payments.

	•	Restrictive Covenants. To receive severance, a participant must agree to the following, which, except as noted, apply at all times following termination:


	•	Each participant is generally prohibited from (1) engaging in, being employed by, rendering services to, or acquiring financial interests in businesses that are competitive with AIG, (2) interfering with AIG's business relationships with customers, suppliers, or consultants or (3) soliciting or hiring certain key employees of AIG. This restriction applies for the earlier of one year after termination or the length of the severance period; and

	•	Each executive may not disclose AIG's confidential information.

	•	Accrued Amounts. $341,666, representing $66,666 in accrued salary through his resignation and $275,000 in unpaid 2005 annual bonus;

	•	Pro-rata 2006 Bonus. $166,667, representing a pro rata portion of the target 2006 annual bonus;

	•	Severance. $10,000,000, representing the minimum severance obligation;

	•	Health and Life Insurance. Up to three years of continued health and life insurance benefits; and

	•	Pension Credit. Three years of additional service credit and age credit under AIG's nonqualified employee pension plans.
