BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	1 . Basis of Presentation American International Group, Inc. (AIG) is a leading global insurance organization serving customers in more than 80 countries and jurisdictions. AIG companies serve commercial and individual customers through one of the most extensive worldwide property -casualty networks of any insurer. In addition, AIG companies are leading providers of life insurance and retirement services in the United States. AIG Common Stock, par value $ 2.50 per share (AIG Common Stock), is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: AIG). Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “AIG,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean American International Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and t he term “AIG Parent” means American International Group, Inc. and not any of its consolidated subsidiaries. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures that are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accountin g principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 ( the 2018 Annual Report). The condensed consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2018 included herein has been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2018 Annual Report. Certain of our foreign subsidiaries included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements report on the basis of fiscal period ending November 30 . The effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations o f all material events occurring at these subsidiaries through the date of each of the periods presented in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been considered for adjustment and/or disclosure. In the opinion of management, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain normal recurring adjustments, including eliminations of material intercompany accounts and transactions, necessary for a fair statement of the results presented herein. Interim-period operating results may not be indicative of the operating results for a full year. We evaluated the need to recognize or disclose events that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2019 and prior to the issuance of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Use o f Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. Accounting policies that we believe are most dependent on the application of es timates and assumptions are considered our critical accounting estimates and are related to the determination of: liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses (loss reserves); reinsurance assets; valuation of future policy benefit liabilities a nd timing and extent of loss recognition; valuation of liabilities for guaranteed benefit features of variable annuity products; valuation of embedded derivatives for fixed index annuity and life products; estimated gross profits to value deferred policy a cquisition costs for investment-oriented products; impairment charges, including other-than-temporary impairments on available for sale securities, impairments on other invested assets, including investments in life settlements, and goodwill impairment; al lowances for loan losses; liability for legal contingencies; fair value measurements of certain financial assets and liabilities; and income tax assets and liabilities, including recoverability of our net deferred tax asset and the predictability of future tax operating profitability of the character necessary to realize the net deferred tax asset and estimates associated with the Tax Act. These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at th e time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	2 . Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Accounting Standards Adopted During 2019 Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standard that requires lessees with lease terms of more than 12 months to recognize a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on their balance sheets. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either opera ting leases or finance leases. Lessor accounting remained largely the same, with the exception of certain specified changes. We adopted the standard on its effective date of January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach and did not adjust prior comparative periods in accordance with the standard’s transition guidance . The majority of the Company ’s lease obligations pertain to real estate utilized in the operation of our businesses. Consequently, the primary impact of adoption resulted in the rec o gnition of discounted lease liabilities of $ 823 million and corresponding right-of- use asset s of $ 724 million for operating leases pertaining to our real estate portfolio, which are reflected in Other Liabilities and Other Assets, respectively. The standa rd did not have a material effect on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or required disclosures. Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities In March 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard that shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium by requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The standard does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which c ontinue to be amortized to maturity. We adopted the standard using a modified retrospective approach on its effective date of January 1, 2019. The standard did not have a material impact on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operat ions, cash flows or required disclosures. Derivatives and Hedging In August 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard that improves and expands hedge accounting for both financial and commodity risks. The provisions of the standard are intended to bette r align the accounting with an entity’s risk management activities, enhance the transparency on how the economic results are presented in the financial statements and disclosures, and simplify the application of hedge accounting treatment. We adopted the s tandard on its effective date of January 1, 2019. The standard did not have a material impact on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or required disclosures. Future Application of Accounting Standards Financial Instruments - Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that will change how entities account for credit losses for most financial assets, trade receivables and reinsurance receivables. The standard will replace the existing incurr ed loss impairment model with a new “current expected credit loss model” that generally will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. The standard will apply to financial assets subject to credit losses, including loans measured at amortized cost, r einsurance receivables and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. Additionally, the impairment of available-for-sale debt securities, including purchased credit deteriorated securities, are subject to the new guidance and will be measured in a simila r manner, except that losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. The standard will also require additional information to be disclosed in the footnotes. We plan to adopt the standard on its effe ctive date of January 1, 2020. We are continuing to develop our implementation plan to adopt the standard and are assessing the impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and required disclosu res. While we expect an increase in our allowances for credit losses for the financial instruments within scope of the standard, given the objective of the new standard, the amount of any change will be dependent on our portfolios’ composition and quality at the adoption date as well as economic conditions and forecasts at that time. Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard that eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of go odwill, through a hypothetical purchase price allocation, to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value not to exceed the total amou nt of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity should also consider income tax effects from tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The standard is eff ective on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the timing of our adoption. Any impact of the standard will be dependent on the market conditions of the reporting units at the time of adoption. Targeted Improvements to the Accou nting for Long-Duration Contracts In August 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standard update with the objective of making targeted improvements to the existing recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for long-duration contrac ts issued by an insurance entity. The standard prescribes significant and comprehensive changes to recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure as summarized below: Requires the review and if necessary update of future policy benefit assumptions a t least annually for traditional and limited pay long duration contracts, with the recognition and separate presentation of any resulting re-measurement gain or loss (except for discount rate changes as noted below) in the income statement. Requires the di scount rate assumption to be updated at the end of each reporting period using an upper medium grade (low-credit risk) fixed income instrument yield that maximizes the use of observable market inputs and recognizes the impact of changes to discount rates i n other comprehensive income. Simplifies the amortization of deferred acquisition costs (DAC) to a constant level basis over the expected term of the related contracts with adjustments for unexpected terminations, but no longer requires an impairment test. Requires the measurement of all market risk benefits associated with deposit (or account balance) contracts at fair value through the income statement with the exception of instrument-specific credit risk changes, which will be recognized in other comprehensive income. Increased disc losures of disaggregated roll-forwards of policy benefits, account balances, market risk benefits, separate account liabilities and information about significant inputs, judgments and methods used in measurement and changes thereto and impact of those chan ges. We plan to adopt the standard on its effective date of January 1, 2021. We are evaluating the method of adoption and impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and required disclosures. The adoption of this standard is expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and required disclosures, as well as systems, processes and controls. RECLASSIFICATIONS In the first quarter o f 2019, we began reporting investment income from our non-insurance subsidiaries in Net investment income instead of Other income on a prospective basis to be consistent with how we report investment income from our General Insurance and Life and Retiremen t reporting segments. This reclassification has no impact to our consolidated statement of operations.

We evaluate segment performance based on adjusted revenues and adjusted pre-tax income (loss). Adjusted revenues and adjusted pre-tax income (loss) are derived by excluding certain items from total revenues and net income (loss) attributable to AIG, respectiv ely. Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, on a prospective basis, the changes in the fair value of equity securities are excluded from adjusted pre-tax income (loss). For the items excluded from adjusted revenues and adjusted pre-tax income (loss) see t he table below.

BUSINESS COMBINATION
BUSINESS COMBINATION	4 . Business Combination On July 18 , 2018, we completed the purchase of a 100 percent voting interest in Validus Holdings, Ltd. (Validus) , a leading provider of reinsurance, primary insurance, and asset management services, for $ 5.5 billion in cash. The purchase was accounted for under the acquisition method. Accordingly, the total purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This allocation resulted in th e purchase price exceeding the fair value of net assets acquired, which results in a difference recorded as goodwill. Goodwill generated from the acquisition is attributable to expected synergies from future growth and potential future monetization opportu nities. Goodwill related to the purchase of Validus assigned to our General Insurance operating segments was $ 1.8 billion for North America and $ 157 million for International. In addition, Validus participates in the market for insurance-linked securities (ILS) primarily through AlphaCat Managers, Ltd (AlphaCat Manager). AlphaCat Manager is an asset manager primarily for third party investors and in connection with the issuance of ILS invests in AlphaCat funds which are considered variable interest entities (VIEs). ILS are financial instruments for which the values are determined based on insurance losses caused primarily by natural catastrophes such as major earthquakes and hurricanes. We report the investment in AlphaCa t funds, which is approximately $ 124 million at March 31, 2019 , in Other Invested Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet . The following unaudited summarized pro forma consolidated income statement information assumes that the acquisitio n of Validus occurred as of January 1, 2018 . The pro forma amounts are for comparative purposes only and may not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have resulted had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of the a pplicable period and may not be indicative of the results th at will be attained in the future . Three Months Ended March 31, (in millions) 2019 2018* Total revenues $ 12,456 $ 12,242 Net income 937 951 Net income attributable to AIG 654 940 Income per common share attributable to AIG: Basic: Net income attributable to AIG 0.75 1.04 Diluted: Net income attributable to AIG 0.75 1.02 * Pro forma adjustments were made to Validus external reporting results prior to the acquisition date for the deconsolidation of certain asset management entities consistent with AIG’s post acquisition accounting, which had no impact on Net income attributable to Validus.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	5 . Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet s are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of three “levels” based on the observability of valuation inputs: Level 1: Fair value measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets. We do not adjust the quoted price for such instruments. Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Le vel 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Therefore, we must make certain assumptions about the inputs a hypothetical market participant would use to value that asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different leve ls of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following table presents information about assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the level of the fair value measurement based on the observability of the inputs used: March 31, 2019 Counterparty Cash (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Netting (a) Collateral Total Assets: Bonds available for sale: U.S. government and government sponsored entities $ - $ 3,401 $ - $ - $ - $ 3,401 Obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions - 13,786 2,136 - - 15,922 Non-U.S. governments 15 15,256 3 - - 15,274 Corporate debt - 137,141 1,532 - - 138,673 RMBS - 19,959 14,045 - - 34,004 CMBS - 12,269 892 - - 13,161 CDO/ABS - 8,926 8,840 - - 17,766 Total bonds available for sale 15 210,738 27,448 - - 238,201 Other bond securities: U.S. government and government sponsored entities 84 2,696 - - - 2,780 Non-U.S. governments - 51 - - - 51 Corporate debt - 1,745 - - - 1,745 RMBS - 491 1,266 - - 1,757 CMBS - 315 84 - - 399 CDO/ABS - 530 4,249 - - 4,779 Total other bond securities 84 5,828 5,599 - - 11,511 Equity securities 804 11 26 - - 841 Other invested assets (b) - 86 591 - - 677 Derivative assets: Interest rate contracts 4 2,660 - - - 2,664 Foreign exchange contracts - 1,106 1 - - 1,107 Equity contracts 55 330 103 - - 488 Credit contracts - - 1 - - 1 Other contracts - - 13 - - 13 Counterparty netting and cash collateral - - - (1,647) (1,734) (3,381) Total derivative assets 59 4,096 118 (1,647) (1,734) 892 Short-term investments 1,993 2,047 - - - 4,040 Separate account assets 84,260 4,558 - - - 88,818 Other assets - - 59 - - 59 Total $ 87,215 $ 227,364 $ 33,841 $ (1,647) $ (1,734) $ 345,039 Liabilities: Policyholder contract deposits $ - $ - $ 4,878 $ - $ - $ 4,878 Derivative liabilities: Interest rate contracts - 1,905 15 - - 1,920 Foreign exchange contracts - 850 - - - 850 Equity contracts 12 32 7 - - 51 Credit contracts - 17 223 - - 240 Other contracts - - 5 - - 5 Counterparty netting and cash collateral - - - (1,647) (188) (1,835) Total derivative liabilities 12 2,804 250 (1,647) (188) 1,231 Long-term debt - 2,263 - - - 2,263 Other liabilities 105 85 - - - 190 Total $ 117 $ 5,152 $ 5,128 $ (1,647) $ (188) $ 8,562 December 31, 2018 Counterparty Cash (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Netting (a) Collateral Total Assets: Bonds available for sale: U.S. government and government sponsored entities $ 53 $ 3,207 $ - $ - $ - $ 3,260 Obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions - 14,001 2,000 - - 16,001 Non-U.S. governments 69 14,445 11 - - 14,525 Corporate debt - 129,836 864 - - 130,700 RMBS - 20,178 14,199 - - 34,377 CMBS - 11,784 917 - - 12,701 CDO/ABS - 8,725 9,102 - - 17,827 Total bonds available for sale 122 202,176 27,093 - - 229,391 Other bond securities: U.S. government and government sponsored entities 11 2,654 - - - 2,665 Non-U.S. governments - 45 - - - 45 Corporate debt - 1,671 - - - 1,671 RMBS - 424 1,290 - - 1,714 CMBS - 311 77 - - 388 CDO/ABS - 454 4,478 - - 4,932 Total other bond securities 11 5,559 5,845 - - 11,415 Equity securities 1,213 13 27 - - 1,253 Other invested assets (b) - 341 587 - - 928 Derivative assets: Interest rate contracts 2 2,888 - - - 2,890 Foreign exchange contracts - 1,159 5 - - 1,164 Equity contracts 133 190 75 - - 398 Credit contracts - - 1 - - 1 Other contracts - - 15 - - 15 Counterparty netting and cash collateral - - - (1,713) (1,840) (3,553) Total derivative assets 135 4,237 96 (1,713) (1,840) 915 Short-term investments 2,416 599 - - - 3,015 Separate account assets 77,202 4,645 - - - 81,847 Other assets - - 58 - - 58 Total $ 81,099 $ 217,570 $ 33,706 $ (1,713) $ (1,840) $ 328,822 Liabilities: Policyholder contract deposits $ - $ - $ 4,116 $ - $ - $ 4,116 Derivative liabilities: Interest rate contracts 4 2,004 15 - - 2,023 Foreign exchange contracts - 858 - - - 858 Equity contracts 12 3 - - - 15 Credit contracts - 8 228 - - 236 Other contracts - - 6 - - 6 Counterparty netting and cash collateral - - - (1,713) (187) (1,900) Total derivative liabilities 16 2,873 249 (1,713) (187) 1,238 Long-term debt - 2,213 - - - 2,213 Other liabilities 16 11 - - - 27 Total $ 32 $ 5,097 $ 4,365 $ (1,713) $ (187) $ 7,594 (a) Represents netting of derivative exposures covered by qualifying master netting agreements.

Transfers of Level 1 and Level 2 Assets and Liabilities Our policy is to record transfers of assets and liabilities between L evel 1 and Level 2 at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. Assets are transferred out of Level 1 when they are no longer transacted with sufficient frequency and volume in an active market. Conversely, assets are transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 when transaction volume and frequency are indicative of an active market. During the three -month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , we tra nsferred $ 62 million and $ 16 million, respectively, of securities issued by non-U.S. government entities from Level 1 to Level 2, because they are no longer considered actively traded. For similar reasons, during the three -month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , we transferred $ 51 million and $ 191 million, respectively, of securities issued by the U.S. government and government sponsored entitie s from Level 1 to Level 2. We had no material transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 during the three -month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 .

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3 in the tables above. As a result, the unrealized gains (losses) on instruments held at March 31, 2019 and 2018 may include changes in fair value that were attribut able to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable inputs (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) . Transfers of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities We record transfers of assets and liabilities into or out of Level 3 classification at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. The Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) included in i ncome or Other comprehensive income (loss) as shown in t he table above exclud es $ 55 million and $ 24 million of net losses related to assets and liabilities transferred into Level 3 during the three - month period s ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and include s $ 1 million of net losses related to assets and liabilities transferred out of Level 3 in the three -month period ended March 31, 2019 . Transfers of Level 3 Assets During the three -month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , transfers into Level 3 assets primarily included certain investments in private placement corporate debt, RMBS, CMBS and CDO/ABS . Transfers of private placement corporate debt and certain ABS into Level 3 assets were primarily the result of limited market pricing information that required us to determine fair value for these securities based on inputs that are adjusted to better reflect our own assumptions regarding the ch aracteristics of a specific security or associated market liquidity . The transfers of investments in RMBS, CMBS and CDO and certain ABS into Level 3 assets were due to decreases in market transparency and liquidity for individual security types. During th e three -month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , transfers out of Level 3 assets primarily included private placement and other corporate debt, CMBS, RMBS, CDO/ABS and certain investments in municipal securities . Transfers of certain investments in municipal securities, corporate debt, RMBS, CMBS and CDO/ABS out of Level 3 assets were based on consideration of market liquidity as well as related transparency of pricing and associated observable inputs for these inv estments. Transfers of certain investments in private placement corporate debt and certain ABS out of Level 3 assets were primarily the result of using observable pricing information that reflects the fair value of those securities without the need for adj ustment based on our own assumptions regarding the characteristics of a specific security or the current liquidity in the market. Transfers of Level 3 Liabilities There were no significant transfers of derivative or other liabilities into or out of Level 3 for the three -month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 . QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT LEVEL 3 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The table below presents information about the significant unobservable inputs used for recurring fair value measurements for certain Level 3 instruments, and includes only those instruments for which information about the inputs is reasonably available to us , such as data from independent third-party valuation service providers and from internal valuation models. Because input information from third-parties with respect to certain Level 3 in struments (primarily CDO/ABS) may not be reasonably available to us , balances shown below may not equal total amounts reported for such Level 3 assets and liabilities: Fair Value at March 31, Valuation Range (in millions) 2019 Technique Unobservable Input (b) (Weighted Average) Assets: Obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions $ 1,590 Discounted cash flow Yield 3.59% - 4.58% (4.08%) Corporate debt 530 Discounted cash flow Yield 4.23% - 6.09% (5.16%) RMBS (a) 13,243 Discounted cash flow Constant prepayment rate 3.63% - 12.64% (8.13%) Loss severity 38.94% - 75.51% (57.22%) Constant default rate 2.17% - 7.14% (4.65%) Yield 2.96% - 5.07% (4.01%) CDO/ABS (a) 4,554 Discounted cash flow Yield 3.45% - 5.21% (4.33%) CMBS 484 Discounted cash flow Yield 2.81% - 5.81% (4.31%) Liabilities: Embedded derivatives within Policyholder contract deposits: Guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (GMWB) 2,023 Discounted cash flow Equity volatility 5.85% - 46.25% Base lapse rate 0.16% - 12.60% Dynamic lapse multiplier 20.00% - 180.00% Mortality multiplier (c) 40.00% - 153.00% Utilization 90.00% - 100.00% Equity / interest-rate correlation 20.00% - 40.00% Index Annuities 2,382 Discounted cash flow Lapse rate 0.50% - 40.00% Mortality multiplier (c) 42.00% - 162.00% Option Budget 1.00% - 4.00% Indexed Life 448 Discounted cash flow Base lapse rate 0.00% - 13.00% Mortality rate 0.00% - 100.00% Fair Value at December 31, Valuation Range (in millions) 2018 Technique Unobservable Input (b) (Weighted Average) Assets: Obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions $ 1,473 Discounted cash flow Yield 3.91% - 5.00% (4.46%) Corporate debt 445 Discounted cash flow Yield 4.35% - 5.99% (5.17%) RMBS (a) 13,608 Discounted cash flow Constant prepayment rate 4.58% - 14.00% (9.29%) Loss severity 39.66% - 74.40% (57.03%) Constant default rate 2.46% - 7.39% (4.92%) Yield 3.31% - 5.50% (4.40%) CDO/ABS (a) 5,461 Discounted cash flow Yield 3.65% - 5.10% (4.37%) CMBS 447 Discounted cash flow Yield 3.29% - 6.07% (4.68%) Liabilities: Embedded derivatives within Policyholder contract deposits: GMWB 1,943 Discounted cash flow Equity volatility 6.05% - 47.65% Base lapse rate 0.16% - 12.60% Dynamic lapse multiplier 20.00% - 180.00% Mortality multiplier (c) 40.00% - 153.00% Utilization 90.00% - 100.00% Equity / interest-rate correlation 20.00% - 40.00% Index Annuities 1,778 Discounted cash flow Lapse rate 0.50% - 40.00% Mortality multiplier (c) 42.00% - 162.00% Option Budget 1.00% - 3.00% Indexed Life 374 Discounted cash flow Base lapse rate 0.00% - 13.00% Mortality rate 0.00% - 100.00% (a) Information received from third-party valuation service providers. The ranges of the unobservable inputs for constant prepayment rate, loss severity and constant default rate relate to each of the individual underlying mortgage loans that comprise the entire portfolio of securities in the RMBS and CDO securitization vehicles and not necessarily to the securitization vehicle bonds (tranches) purchased by us. The ranges of these inputs do not directly correlate to changes in the fair values of the tra nches purchased by us, because there are other factors relevant to the fair values of specific tranches owned by us including, but not limited to, purchase price, position in the waterfall, senior versus subordinated position and attachment points. (b) Rep resents discount rates, estimates and assumptions that we believe would be used by market participants when valuing these assets and liabilities. (c) Mortality inputs are shown as multipliers of the 2012 Individual Annuity Mortality Basic table. The ranges of reported inputs for Obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions, Corporate debt, RMBS, CDO/ABS, and CMBS valued using a discounted cash flow technique consist of one standard deviation in either direction from the value -weighted av erage. The preceding table does not give effect to our risk management practices that might offset risks inherent in these Level 3 assets and liabilities. Sensitivity to Changes in Unobservable Inputs We consider unobservable inputs to be those for which m arket data is not available and that are developed using the best information available to us about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Relevant inputs vary depending on the nature of the instrument being measured at fair value. The following paragraphs provide a general description of sensitivities of significant unobservable inputs along with interrelationships between and among the significant unobservable inputs and their impact on the fair value measu rements. The effect of a change in a particular assumption in the sensitivity analysis below is considered independently of changes in any other assumptions. In practice, simultaneous changes in assumptions may not always have a linear effect on the inputs discussed below. Interrelationships may also exist between observable and unobservable inputs. Such relationships have not been included in the discussion below. For each of the individual relationships described below, the inverse relationship would also gen erally apply. Obligations of States, Municipalities and Political Subdivisions The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of certain investments in obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions is yield. I n general, increases in the yield would decrease the fair value of investments in obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions. Corporate Debt Corporate debt securities included in Level 3 are primarily private placement issuances that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions. Fair value measurements consider illiquidity and non- transferability. When observable price quotations are not available, fair value is determined based on discounted cash flow models using discount rates based on credit spreads, yields or price levels of publicly -traded debt of the issuer or other comparable securities, considering illiquidity and structure. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement o f corporate debt is the yield. The yield is affected by the market movements in credit spreads and U.S. Treasury yields. In addition, the migration in credit quality of a given security generally has a corresponding effect on the fair value measurement of the security. For example, a downward migration of credit quality would increase spreads. Holding U.S. Treasury rates constant, an increase in corporate credit spreads would decrease the fair value of corporate debt . RMBS and CDO/ABS The significant unob servable inputs used in fair value measurements of RMBS and certain CDO/ABS valued by third -party valuation service providers are constant prepayment rates (CPR), loss severity, constant default rates (CDR) and yield. A change in the assumptions used for t he probability of default will generally be accompanied by a corresponding change in the assumption used for the loss severity and an inverse change in the assumption used for prepayment rates. In general, increases in CPR, loss severity, CDR and yield, in isolation, would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. Changes in fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship between the directional change of each input is not usually linear . CMB S The significant unobservable input used in fair value measurements for CMBS is the yield. Prepayment assumptions for each mortgage pool are factored into the yield. CMBS generally feature a lower degree of prepayment risk than RMBS because commercial mor tgages generally contain a penalty for prepayment. In general, increases in the yield would decrease the fair value of CMBS . Embedded derivatives within Policyholder contract deposits Embedded derivatives reported within Policyholder co ntract deposits include GMWB within variable annuity products and interest crediting rates based on market indices within index annuities, indexed life and GICs . For any given contract, assumptions for unobservable inputs vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the emb edded derivative. The following unobservable inputs are used for valuing embedded derivatives measured at fair value: Long-term equity volatilities represent equity volatility beyond the period for which observable equity volatilities are available. Increa ses in assumed volatility will generally increase the fair value of both the projected cash flows from rider fees as well as the projected cash flows related to benefit payments . Therefore, the net change in the fair value of the liability may be either a decrease or an increase, depending on the relative changes in projected rider fees and projected benefit payments. Equity / interest rate correlation estimates the relationship between changes in equity returns and interest rates in the economic scenario generator used to value our GMWB embedded derivatives. In general, a higher positive correlation assumes that equity markets and interest rates move in a more correlated fashion, which generally increases the fair value of the liability. Base lapse rate assumptions are determined by company experience and are adjusted at the contract level using a dynamic lapse function, which reduces the base lapse rate when the contract is in-the-money (when the contract holder’s guaranteed value, as estimated by the c ompany, is worth more than their underlying account value). Lapse rates are also generally assumed to be lower in periods when a surrender charge applies. Increases in assumed lapse rates will generally decrease the fair value of the liability, as fewer po licyholders would persist to collect guaranteed withdrawal amounts. Mortality rate assumptions, which vary by age and gender, are based on company experience and include a mortality improvement assumption. Increases in assumed mortality rates will decreas e the fair value of the liability, while lower mortality rate assumptions will generally increase the fair value of the liability, because guaranteed payments will be made for a longer period of time. Utilization assumptions estimate the timing when policy holders with a GMWB will elect to utilize their benefit and begin taking withdrawals. The assumptions may vary by the type of guarantee, tax-qualified status, the contract’s withdrawal history and the age of the policyholder. Utilization assumptions are b ased on company experience, which includes partial withdrawal behavior. Increases in assumed utilization rates will generally increase the fair value of the liability. Option budget estimates the expected long-term cost of options used to hedge exposures a ssociated with equity price changes. The level of option budgets determines future costs of the options, which impacts the growth in account value and the valuation of embedded derivatives.

Purchased Credit Impaired (PCI) Securities We purchase certain RMBS securities that have experienced deterioration in credit quality since their issuance. We determine whether it is probable at acquisition that we will not collect all contractually required payments for these PCI securities, including both principal and interest. At acquisition, the timing and amount of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be received on each PCI security is determined based on our best estimate using key assumptions, such as interest rates, default rates and prepayment speeds. At acquisition, the difference between the undiscounted expected future cash flows of the PCI securities and the recorded investment in the securities represents the initial accretable yield, which is accreted into Net investment income over their remaining lives on an effective yield basis. Additionally, the diff erence between the contractually required payments on the PCI securities and the undiscounted expected future cash flows represents the non-accretable difference at acquisition. The accretable yield and the non-accretable difference will change over time, based on actual payments received and changes in estimates of undiscounted expected future cash flows, which are discussed further below. On a quarterly basis, the undiscounted expected future cash flows associated with PCI securities are re-evaluated based on updates to key assumptions. Declines in undiscounted expected future cash flows due to further credit deterioration as well as changes in the expected timing of the cash f lows can result in the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment charge, as PCI securities are subject to our policy for evaluating investments for other-than-temporary impairment. Changes to undiscounted expected future cash flows due solely to th e changes in the contractual benchmark interest rates on variable rate PCI securities will change the accretable yield prospectively. Significant increases in undiscounted expected future cash flows for reasons other than interest rate changes are recogniz ed prospectively as adjustments to the accretable yield.

Our secured financing transactions also include those that involve the transfer of securities to financial institutions in exchange for cash (securities lending agree ments). In all of these secured financing transactions, the securities transferred by us (pledged collateral) may be sold or repledged by the counterparties. These agreements are recorded at their contracted amounts plus accrued interest, other than those that are accounted for at fair value. Pledged collateral levels are monitored daily and are generally maintained at an agreed-upon percentage of the fair value of the amounts borrowed during the life of the transactions. In the event of a decline in the fa ir value of the pledged collateral under these secured financing transactions, we may be required to transfer cash or additional securities as pledged collateral under these agreements. At the termination of the transactions, we and our counterparties are obligated to return the amounts borrowed and the securities transferred, respectively. The following table presents the fair value of securities pledged to counterparties under secured financing transactions, including repurchase and securities lending ag reements: (in millions) March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Fixed maturity securities available for sale $ 1,503 $ 1,050 Other bond securities, at fair value $ 184 $ 122 At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , amounts borrowed under repurchase and securities lending agreements totaled $ 1.7 billion and $ 1.2 billion, respectively.

These agreements are recorded at their contracted resale amounts plus accr ued interest, other than those that are accounted for at fair value. In all reverse repurchase transactions, we take possession of or obtain a security interest in the related securities, and we have the right to sell or repledge this collateral received. The following table presents information on the fair value of securities pledged to us under reverse repurchase agreements: (in millions) March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Securities collateral pledged to us $ 1,374 $ 426 Amount sold or repledged by us 121 106 At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , amounts loaned under reverse repurchase a greements totaled $ 1.4 billion and $ 426 m illion, respectively. We do not currently offset any secured financing transactions. All such transactions are collateralized and margined daily consistent with market standards and subject to enforceable master netting arrangements with rights of set off. Insurance – Statutory and Other Deposits The total carrying value of cash and securities deposited by our insurance subsidiaries under requirements of regulatory authorities or other insurance-related arrangements, including certain annuity-related obligations and certain reinsurance treaties, was $ 8.2 billion and $ 7.9 billion at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. Other Pledges and Restrictions Certain of our subsidiaries are members of Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs) and such membership requires the members to own stock in these FHLBs. We owned an aggregate of $ 185 million and $ 202 million of stock in FHLBs at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. In addition, our subsidiaries have pledged securities available for sale and residential loans associated with borrowings and funding agreements from FHLBs, with a fair value of $ 4.6 bi llion and $ 2.1 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2019 and $ 4.2 billion and $ 2.1 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2018 . Certain GIAs have provisions that require collateral to be posted or payments to be made by us upon a downgrade of our long-term debt ratings. The actual amount of collateral required to be posted to the counterparties in the event of such downgrades, a nd the aggregate amount of payments that we could be required to make, depend on market conditions, the fair value of outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevailing at and after the time of the downgrade. The fair value of securities pledge d as collateral with respect to these obligations was approximately $ 1.6 billion at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. This collateral primarily consists of securities of the U.S. government and government sponsored entities and generally cannot be repledged or resold by the counterparties. Investments held in escrow accounts or otherwise subject to restriction as to their use were $ 262 million and $ 273 million, comprised of bonds available for sale and short term investments at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES	8 . Variable Interest Entities We enter into various arrangements with variable interest entities ( VIEs ) in the normal course of business and consolidate the VIEs when we determine we are the primary beneficiary. This analysis includes a review of the VIE’s capital structure, related contractual relationships and terms, nature of the VIE’s operations and purpose, nature of the VIE’s interests issued and our involvement with the entity. When assessing the need to consolidate a VIE, we evaluate the design of the VIE as well as the relate d risks the entity was designed to expose the variable interest holders to. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance and (2) the o bligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. While also considering these factors, the consolidation conclusion depends on the breadth of our decision-making ability and our ability to influ ence activities that significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE. Balance Sheet Classification and Exposure to Loss The following table presents the total assets and total liabilities associated with our variable interests in consolidated VIEs , as classified in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets: (in millions) Real Estate and Investment Entities (d) Securitization Vehicles (e) Affordable Housing Partnerships Other Total March 31, 2019 Assets: Bonds available for sale $ - $ 8,285 $ - $ - $ 8,285 Other bond securities - 3,802 - 2 3,804 Mortgage and other loans receivable - 3,593 - - 3,593 Other invested assets 5,438 - 3,650 25 9,113 Other (a) 603 2,064 459 72 3,198 Total assets (b) $ 6,041 $ 17,744 $ 4,109 $ 99 $ 27,993 Liabilities: Long-term debt $ 2,593 $ 3,764 $ 2,152 $ 5 $ 8,514 Other (c) 227 546 207 23 1,003 Total liabilities $ 2,820 $ 4,310 $ 2,359 $ 28 $ 9,517 December 31, 2018 Assets: Bonds available for sale $ - $ 7,662 $ - $ - $ 7,662 Other bond securities - 3,923 - 2 3,925 Mortgage and other loans receivable - 3,693 - - 3,693 Other invested assets 5,212 - 3,142 24 8,378 Other (a) 580 1,581 394 70 2,625 Total assets (b) $ 5,792 $ 16,859 $ 3,536 $ 96 $ 26,283 Liabilities: Long-term debt $ 2,577 $ 3,154 $ 1,834 $ 4 $ 7,569 Other (c) 227 165 159 24 575 Total liabilities $ 2,804 $ 3,319 $ 1,993 $ 28 $ 8,144 (a) Comprised primarily of Short-term investments and Other assets at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . (b) The assets of each VIE can be used only to settle specific obligations of that VIE. (c) Comprised primarily of Other liabilities at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . (d) At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , off-balance sheet exposure primarily consisting of commitments to real estate and investme nt entities was $ 2.9 billion and $ 1.4 billion, respectively. (e) At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , $ 16.9 billion and $ 16.0 billion, respectively, of the total assets of consolidated securitization vehicles were owed to AIG Parent or its subsidiaries. We calculate our maximum exposure to loss to be (i) the amount invested in t he debt or equity of the VIE, (ii) the notional amount of VIE assets or liabilities where we have also provided credit protection to the VIE with the VIE as the referenced obligation, and (iii) other commitments and guarantees to the VIE. Interest holders in VIEs sponsored by us generally have recourse only to the assets and cash flows of the VIEs and do not have recourse to us, except in limited circumstances when we have provided a guarantee to the VIE’s interest holders. The following table presents tota l assets of unconsolidated VIEs in which we hold a variable interest, as well as our maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs: Maximum Exposure to Loss Total VIE On-Balance Off-Balance (in millions) Assets Sheet (b) Sheet Total March 31, 2019 Real estate and investment entities (a) $ 264,238 $ 6,492 $ 3,190 $ 9,682 Affordable housing partnerships 3,650 544 - 544 Other 5,365 327 - (c) 327 Total $ 273,253 $ 7,363 $ 3,190 $ 10,553 December 31, 2018 Real estate and investment entities (a) $ 309,598 $ 6,820 $ 2,501 $ 9,321 Affordable housing partnerships 4,116 607 - 607 Other 2,813 284 1,222 (c) 1,506 Total $ 316,527 $ 7,711 $ 3,723 $ 11,434 (a) Comprised primarily of hedge funds and private equity funds. (b) At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , $ 7.0 billion and $ 7.4 billion, respectively, of our total unconsolidated VIE assets were recorded as Other invested assets. (c) These amounts represent our estimate of the maximum exposure to loss under certain insurance policies issued to VIEs if a hypothetical loss occurred to the extent of the full amount of the insured value. Our insurance policies cover defined risks and our estimate of liability is included in our insurance reserves on the balance sheet.

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING	9 . Derivatives and Hedge Accounting We use derivatives and other financial instruments as part of our financial risk management programs and as part of our investment operations. For a discussion of our accounting policies and procedures regarding derivatives and hedge accounting see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2018 Annual Report . Interest rate derivatives (such as interest rate swaps) are used to manage interest rate risk associated with embedded derivatives contained in insurance contract liabilities, fixed maturity securities, outstanding medium - and long -term notes as well as other interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Foreign exchange derivatives (principally foreign exchange forwards and options) are used to economically mitigate risk associated with non -U.S. dollar denominated debt, net capital exposures, and foreign currency transactions. Equity derivatives are used to mitigate financial risk embedded in certain insurance liabilities. We use credit derivatives to manage our credit exposures. The derivatives are effective economic hedges of the exposures that they are meant to offset. In addition to hedging activities, we also enter into derivative instruments with respect to investment operations, which may include, among other things, CDSs and purchases of investments with embedded deriv atives, such as equity -linked notes and convertible bonds . The following table presents the notional amounts of our derivatives and the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets: March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Gross Derivative Assets Gross Derivative Liabilities Gross Derivative Assets Gross Derivative Liabilities Notional Fair Notional Fair Notional Fair Notional Fair (in millions) Amount Value Amount Value Amount Value Amount Value Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: (a) Interest rate contracts $ - $ - $ 830 $ 14 $ 10 $ - $ 866 $ 19 Foreign exchange contracts 5,749 371 2,954 150 6,357 363 2,536 147 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: (a) Interest rate contracts 50,037 2,664 28,818 1,906 42,821 2,890 27,329 2,004 Foreign exchange contracts 13,113 736 4,108 700 11,134 801 5,434 711 Equity contracts 14,356 488 3,938 51 17,807 398 2,399 15 Credit contracts (b) 3 1 1,441 240 8 1 1,406 236 Other contracts (c) 39,096 13 57 5 39,070 15 58 6 Total derivatives, gross $ 122,354 $ 4,273 $ 42,146 $ 3,066 $ 117,207 $ 4,468 $ 40,028 $ 3,138 Counterparty netting (d) (1,647) (1,647) (1,713) (1,713) Cash collateral (e) (1,734) (188) (1,840) (187) Total derivatives on condensed consolidated balance sheets (f) $ 892 $ 1,231 $ 915 $ 1,238 (a) Fair value amounts are shown before the effects of counterparty netting adjustments and offsetting cash collateral. (b ) As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , included CDSs on super senior multi-sector CDOs with a net notional amount of $ 580 million and $ 592 million (fair value liability of $ 217 million and $ 224 million), respectively. The net notional amount represents the maximum exposur e to loss on the portfolio. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , there were no super senior corporate debt/CLOs remaining. (c) Consists primarily of stable value wraps and contracts with multiple underlying exposures. (d) Represents netting of derivative exposures covered by a qualifying master netting agreement. (e) Represents cash collateral posted and received that is eligible for netting. (f) Freestanding derivatives only, excludes embedded derivatives. Derivative i nstrument assets and liabilities are recorded in Other Assets and Liabilities, respectively. Fair value of assets related to bifurcated embedded derivatives was zero at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . Fair value o f liabilities related to bifurcated embedded derivatives was $ 4.9 billion and $ 4.1 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . A bifurcated embedded deriva tive is generally presented with the host contract in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Embedded derivatives are primarily related to guarantee features in variable annuity products, which include equity and interest rate components. Collateral We engage in derivative transactions that are not subject to a clearing requirement directly with unaffiliated third parties, in most cases, under International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) Master Agreements. Many of the ISDA Master Agreements also include Credit Support Annex (CSA) provisions, which provide for collateral postings that may vary at various ratings and threshold levels. We attempt to reduce our risk with certain counterparties by entering into agreements that en able collateral to be obtained from a counterparty on an upfront or contingent basis. We minimize the risk that counterparties might be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations by monitoring counterparty credit exposure and collateral value and gene rally requiring additional collateral to be posted upon the occurrence of certain events or circumstances. In addition, certain derivative transactions have provisions that require collateral to be posted upon a downgrade of our long -term debt ratings or g ive the counterparty the right to terminate the transaction. In the case of some of the derivative transactions, upon a downgrade of our long -term debt ratings, as an alternative to posting collateral and subject to certain conditions, we may assign the tr ansaction to an obligor with higher debt ratings or arrange for a substitute guarantee of our obligations by an obligor with higher debt ratings or take other similar action. The actual amount of collateral required to be posted to counterparties in the ev ent of such downgrades, or the aggregate amount of payments that we could be required to make, depends on market conditions, the fair value of outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevailing at and after the time of the downgrade. Collateral posted by us to third parties for derivative transactions was $ 1.7 billion at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . In the case of collateral posted under derivative transactions that are not subj ect to clearing, this collateral can generally be repledged or resold by the counterparties. Collateral provided to us from third parties for derivative transactions was $ 1.9 billion and $ 2.1 billion at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. In the case of collateral provided to us under derivative transactions that are not subject to clearing, we generally can repledge or resell collateral. Offsetting We have elected to present all derivative receivables and derivative payables, and the related cash collateral received and paid, on a net basis on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when a legally enforceable ISDA Master Agreement exists between us and our derivative counterparty. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement governing multiple derivative transactions between two counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement generally provides for the net settlement of all, or a specified group, of these derivative transactions, as well as transferred collateral, through a single payment, and in a single currency, as applicable. The net settlement provisions apply in the event of a default on, or affecting any, one derivative transaction or a termination event affecting all, or a specified group of, derivative transactions governed by the ISDA Master Agreement. Hedge Accounting We designated certain derivatives entere d into with third parties as fair value hedges of available for sale investment securities held by our insurance subsidiaries. The fair value hedges include foreign currency forwards and cross currency swaps designated as hedges of the change in fair value of foreign currency denominated available for sale securities attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. We also designated certain interest rate swaps entered into with third parties as fair value hedges of fixed rate GICs attributable to changes in benchmark interest rates . We use foreign currency denominated debt and cross-currency swaps as hedging instruments in net investment hedge relationships to mitigate the foreign exchange risk associated with our non-U.S. dollar functional currency forei gn subsidiaries. For net investment hedge relationships where issued debt is used as a hedging instrument, we assess the hedge effectiveness and measure the amount of ineffectiveness based on changes in spot rates. For net investment hedge relationships th at use derivatives as hedging instruments, we assess hedge effectiveness and measure hedge ineffectiveness using changes in forward rates. For the three -month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , we recognized gains (losses) of $ 64 million and $ (120) million , respectively, included in Change in foreign currency translation adjustment in Other comprehensive income related to the net investment hedge relationships. A qualitative meth odology is utilized to assess hedge effectiveness for net investment hedges, while regression analysis is employed for all other hedges.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments i n the Condensed Cons olidated Statement s of Income : Gains (Losses) Three Months Ended March 31, Recognized in Earnings (in millions) 2019 2018 By Derivative Type: Interest rate contracts $ 359 $ (398) Foreign exchange contracts (28) (139) Equity contracts (208) (73) Credit contracts (8) 11 Other contracts 16 17 Embedded derivatives (449) 591 Total $ (318) $ 9 By Classification: Policy fees $ 17 $ 17 Net investment income (5) (4) Net realized capital losses (334) (13) Other income - 12 Policyholder benefits and claims incurred 4 (3) Total $ (318) $ 9 Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features We estimate that at March 31, 2019 , based on our outstanding financial derivative transactions, a downgrade of our long-term s enior debt ratings to BBB or BBB– by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of S&P Global Inc., and/or a downgrade to Baa2 or Baa3 by Moody’s Investors’ Service, Inc. would permit counterparties to make additional collateral calls and permit certain counterparties to elect early termination of contracts, resulting in corresponding collateral postings and termination payments in the total amount of up to approximately $ 63 million. The aggregat e fair value of our derivatives that were in a net liability position and that contain such credit risk-related contingencies which can be triggered below our long-term senior debt ratings of BBB+ or Baa1 was approximately $ 436 m illion a nd $ 423 m illion at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. The aggregate fair value of assets posted as collateral under these contracts at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , was approximately $ 480 m illion and $ 453 m illion, respectively. Hybrid Securities with Embedded Credit Derivatives We invest in hybrid securities (such as credit -linked notes) with the intent of generating income, and not specifically to acquire exposure to embedded derivative risk. As is the case with our other investments in RMBS, CMBS, CDOs and ABS, our investments in these hybrid securities are exposed to losses only up to the amount of our initial investment in the hybrid security. Other than our initial investment in the hybrid securities, we have no further obligation to make payments on the embedded credit derivatives in the related hybrid securities. We elect to account for our investments in these hybrid securities with embedded written credit derivatives at fair value, with changes in fair value recogniz ed in Net investment income and Other income. Our investments in these hybrid securities are reported as Other bond securities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair values of these hybrid securities were $ 3.8 billion and $ 3.9 billion at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. These securities have par amounts of $ 8.3 billion and $ 8.5 billion at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, and have remaining stated maturity dates that extend to 2052 .

Insurance Liabilites
INSURANCE LIABILITIES	10 . Insurance Liabilities Liability for Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expense s (Loss Reserves) Loss reserves represent the accumulation of estimates of unpaid claims, including estimates for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) and loss adjustment expenses ( LAE ), less applicable discount. We regularly review and update the methods used to determine loss reserve estimates. Any adjustments resulting from this review are reflected currently in pre-tax income, except to the extent such a djustment impacts a deferred gain under a retroactive reinsurance agreement, in which case the ceded portion would be amortized into pre-tax income in subsequent periods. Because these estimates are subject to the outcome of future events, changes in estim ates are common given that loss trends vary and time is often required for changes in trends to be recognized and confirmed. Reserve changes that increase previous estimates of ultimate cost are referred to as unfavorable or adverse development or reserve strengthening. Reserve changes that decrease previous estimates of ultimate cost are referred to as favorable development. Our gross loss reserves before reinsurance and discount are net of contractual deductible recoverable amounts due from policyholders of approximately $ 12.7 billion and $ 12.3 billion at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively . These recoverable amounts are related to certain policies with high deductibles (in excess of hig h dollar amounts retained by the insured through self-insured retentions, deductibles, retrospective programs, or captive arrangements, each referred to generically as “deductibles”), primarily for U.S. commercial casualty business. With respect to the ded uctible portion of the claim, we manage and pay the entire claim on behalf of the insured and are reimbursed by the insured for the deductible portion of the claim. Thus, these recoverable amounts represent a credit exposure to us. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we held collateral of approximatel y $ 9.0 billion and $ 9.2 billion , respectively, for these deductible recoverable amounts, consisting primarily of letters of credit and funded trust agreements. The following table presents the roll-forwar d of activity in Loss Reserves: Three Months Ended March 31, (in millions) 2019 2018 Liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses, beginning of period $ 83,639 $ 78,393 Reinsurance recoverable (31,690) (26,708) Net Liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses, beginning of period 51,949 51,685 Losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred : Current year 4,805 4,698 Prior years, excluding discount and amortization of deferred gain (15) (40) Prior years, discount charge (benefit) 497 (205) Prior years, amortization of deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance (a) (86) (39) Total losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred 5,201 4,414 Losses and loss adjustment expenses paid : Current year (344) (610) Prior years (6,120) (4,779) Total losses and loss adjustment expenses paid (6,464) (5,389) Other changes : Foreign exchange effect 216 274 Retroactive reinsurance adjustment (net of discount) (b) (190) (97) Total other changes 26 177 Liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses, end of period: Net liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses 50,712 50,887 Reinsurance recoverable 31,784 27,211 Total $ 82,496 $ 78,098 (a) Includes $ 9 million and $ 5 million for the retroactive reinsurance agreement with NICO covering U.S. asbestos exposures for t he three -month periods ended March 31 , 2019 and 2018, respectively. (b) Includes change in discount on retroactive reinsurance of $( 307) million and $128 million for the three -month periods ended March 31 , 2019 and 2018, respectively . On January 20, 2017, we entered into an adverse development reinsurance agreement with National Indemnity Company (NICO), a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (Berkshire) , under which we transferred to NICO 80 percent of the reserve risk on substantially all of our U.S. Commercial long-tail exposures for accident years 2015 and prior. Under this agreement, we ceded to NICO 80 percent of the paid losses on subject business paid on or after January 1, 2016 in exc ess of $ 25 billion of net paid losses, up to an aggregate limit of $ 25 billion. At NICO’s 80 percent share, NICO’s limit of liability under the contract is $ 20 billion. We account for this transaction as retroactive reinsurance. We paid total considerati on, including interest, of $ 10.2 billion. The consideration was placed into a collateral trust account as security for NICO’s claim payment obligations, and Berkshire has provided a parental guarantee to secure the obligations of NICO under the agreement. The tota l paid claims subject to the agreement as of March 31, 2019 were below the attachment point . Discounting of Loss Reserves At March 31, 2019 , the loss reserves reflect a net loss reserve discount of $1.9 billion, including tabular and non-tabular calculations based upon the following assumptions: T he discount for asbestos reserves has been f ully amortized. The tabular workers’ compensation discount is calculated based on a 3.5 percent interest rate and the mortality rate used in the 2007 U.S. Life Table. The non-tabular workers’ compensation disco unt is calculated separately for companies domiciled in New York and Pennsylvania, and follows the statutory regulations (prescribed or permitted) for each state. For New York companies, the discount is based on a 5 percent interest rate and the companies ’ own payout patterns. For the Pennsylvania companies, the statute specifies discount factors for accident years 2001 and prior, which are based on a 6 percent interest rate and an industry payout pattern. For accident years 2002 and subsequent, the disco unt is based on the payout patterns and investment yields of the companies. In 2013, our Pennsylvania regulator approved use of a consistent discount rate (U.S. Treasury rate plus a liquidity premium) to all of our workers’ compensation reserves in our Pe nnsylvania-domiciled companies, as well as our use of updated payout patterns specific to our primary and excess workers compensation portfolios. The discount consists of $ 603 million of tabular discount and $ 1.3 billion of non-tabular discount for worke rs’ compensation as of March 31, 2019 . During the three -month periods ended March 31 , 201 9 and 201 8 , the benefit/(charge) from changes in discount of $ (473) million and $ 205 million, respectively, were recorded as part of the policyholder benefits and loss es incurred in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The following table presents the components of the loss reserve discount discussed above: March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 North North America America Commercial Legacy Commercial Legacy (in millions) Insurance Portfolio Total Insurance Portfolio Total U.S. workers' compensation $ 2,387 $ 894 $ 3,281 $ 2,782 $ 973 $ 3,755 Retroactive reinsurance (1,412) - (1,412) (1,720) - (1,720) Total reserve discount * $ 975 $ 894 $ 1,869 $ 1,062 $ 973 $ 2,035 * Excludes $ 198 million and $ 1 63 million of discount related to certain long tail liabilities in the United Kingdom at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, effective interest rates declined due to a decrease in the forward yield curve component of the discount rates. This decrease reflects a decline in U.S. Treasury rates . Th e decrease together w ith certain changes in payout pattern assumptions resulted in a decrease in the loss reserve discount by $ 233 million in the first quarter of 2019. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, effective interest rates increased due to an increase in the forward yield curve component of the discount rates . This increase reflects an incline in U. S. Treasury rates . The increase together wit h certain changes in payout pattern assumptions resulted in an increase in the loss reserve discount by $ 159 million in the first quarter of 2018.

CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES
CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES	11 . Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees In the normal course of business, various contingent liabilities and commitments are entered into by AIG and our subsidiaries. In addition, AIG Parent guarantees various obligations of certain subsidiaries. Although AIG cannot currently quantify its ultimate liability for unresolved litigation and investigation matters, including those referred to below, it is possible that such liability could have a material adverse effect on AIG’s consolidate d financial condition or its consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows for an individual reporting period. Legal Contingencies Overview. In the normal course of business, AIG and our subsidiaries are, like others in the insurance and f inancial services industries in general, subject to regulatory and government investigations and actions, and litigation and other forms of dispute resolution in a large number of proceedings pending in various domestic and foreign jurisdictions. Certain of these matters involve potentially significant risk of loss due to potential for significant jury awards and settlements, punitive damages or other penalties. Many of these matters are also highly complex and seek recovery on behalf of a class or simila rly large number of plaintiffs. It is therefore inherently difficult to predict the size or scope of potential future losses arising from these matters. In our insurance and reinsurance operations, litigation and arbitration concerning the scope of cover age under insurance and reinsurance contracts, and litigation and arbitration in which our subsidiaries defend or indemnify their insureds under insurance contracts, are generally considered in the establishment of our loss reserves. Separate and apart fr om the foregoing matters involving insurance and reinsurance coverage, AIG, our subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors are subject to a variety of additional types of legal proceedings brought by holders of AIG securities, customers, empl oyees and others, alleging, among other things, breach of contractual or fiduciary duties, bad faith and violations of federal and state statutes and regulations. With respect to these other categories of matters not arising out of claims for insurance or reinsurance coverage, we establish reserves for loss contingencies when it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In many instances, we are unable to determine whether a loss is probable or to rea sonably estimate the amount of such a loss and, therefore, the potential future losses arising from legal proceedings may exceed the amount of liabilities that we have recorded in our financial statements covering these matters. While such potential futur e charges could be material, based on information currently known to management, management does not believe, other than as may be discussed below, that any such charges are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of o peration . Additionally, from time to time, various regulatory and governmental agencies review the transactions and practices of AIG and our subsidiaries in connection with industry-wide and other inquiries into, among other matters, the business practices of current and former operating insurance subsidiaries. We have cooperated, and will continue to cooperate, in producing documents and other information in response to such requests . Tax Litigation We are party to pending tax litigation before the Souther n District of New York. For additional information see Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements . Other Commitments In the normal course of business, we enter into commitments to invest in limited partnerships, private equity funds and hedge funds and to purchase and develop real estate in the U.S. and abroad. These commitments totaled $ 7.3 billion at March 31, 2019 . Guarantees Subsidiaries We have issued unconditional guarantees with respect to the prompt payment, when due, of all present and future payment obligations and liabilities of AIG Financial Produ cts Corp. and related subsidiaries (collectively AIGFP) and of AIG Markets arising from transactions entered into by AIG Markets. In connection with AIGFP’s business activities, AIGFP has issued, in a limited number of transactions, standby letters of cre dit or similar facilities to equity investors of structured leasing transactions in an amount equal to the termination value owing to the equity investor by the lessee in the event of a lessee default (the equity termination value). The total amount outsta nding at March 31, 2019 was $ 82 million. In those transactions, AIGFP has agreed to pay such amount if the lessee fails to pay. The amount payable by AIGFP is, in certain cases, partially offset by amounts payable under ot her instruments typically equal to the present value of scheduled payments to be made by AIGFP. In the event that AIGFP is required to make a payment to the equity investor, the lessee is unconditionally obligated to reimburse AIGFP. To the extent that the equity investor is paid the equity termination value from the standby letter of credit and/or other sources, including payments by the lessee, AIGFP takes an assignment of the equity investor’s rights under the lease of the underlying property. Because th e obligations of the lessee under the lease transactions are generally economically defeased, lessee bankruptcy is the most likely circumstance in which AIGFP would be required to pay without reimbursement. AIG Parent files a consolidated federal income ta x return with certain subsidiaries and acts as an agent for the consolidated tax group when making payments to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). AIG Parent and its subsidiaries have adopted, pursuant to a written agreement, a method of allocating consoli dated federal income taxes. Under an Amended and Restated Tax Payment Allocation Agreement dated June 6, 2011 between AIG Parent and one of its Bermuda-domiciled insurance subsidiaries, AIG Life of Bermuda, Ltd. (AIGB), AIG Parent has agreed to indemnify A IGB for any tax liability (including interest and penalties) resulting from adjustments made by the IRS or other appropriate authorities to taxable income, special deductions or credits in connection with investments made by AIGB in certain affiliated enti ties. Asset Dispositions We are subject to financial guarantees and indemnity arrangements in connection with the completed sales of businesses pursuant to our asset disposition plan. The various arrangements may be triggered by, among other things, declin es in asset values, the occurrence of specified business contingencies, the realization of contingent liabilities, developments in litigation or breaches of representations, warranties or covenants provided by us. These arrangements are typically subject t o various time limitations, defined by the contract or by operation of law, such as statutes of limitation. In some cases, the maximum potential obligation is subject to contractual limitations, while in other cases such limitations are not specified or ar e not applicable. We are unable to develop a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential payout under certain of these arrangements. Overall, we believe that it is unlikely we will have to make any material payments related to completed sales under these arrangements, and no material liabilities related to these arrangements have been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

EQUITY	12 . Equity Shares Outstanding P referred S tock On March 14, 2019, we issued 20,000 shares of 5.85 % Series A Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock) (equivalent to 20,000,000 D epositary Shares, each represent ing a 1/1,000th interest in a share of Series A Preferred Stock), $ 5.00 par value and $ 25,000 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to $ 25 per Depositary Share). After underwriting discounts and expenses, we received net proceeds of approxima tely $ 485 million . We may redee m the Series A Preferred Stock at our option, (a) in whole, but not in part, at any time prior to March 15, 2024, within 90 days after the occurrence of a “Rating Agency Event,” at a redemption price equal to $ 25,500 per sha re of the Series A Preferred Stock (equivalent to $ 25.50 per Depositary Share), plus an amount equal to any dividends per share that have been declared but not paid pr ior to the redemption date (but no amount due in respect of any dividends that have not been declared prior to such date), or (b) (i) in whole, but not in part, at any time prior to March 15, 2024, within 90 days after the occurrence of a “Regulatory Capital Event,” or (ii) in whole or in part, from time to time, on or after March 15, 2024, in ea ch case, at a redemption price equal to $ 25,000 per share of the Series A Preferred Stock (equivalent to $ 25.00 per Depositary Share), plus an amount equal to any dividends per share that have been declared but not paid pr ior to the redemption date (but n o amount due in respect of any dividends that have not been declared prior to such date). A “Rating Agency Event” is generally defined to mean that any nationally recognized statistical rating organization within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchang e Act that then publishes a rating for us amends, clarifies or changes the criteria it uses to assign equity credit to securities such as the Series A Preferred Stock, which amendment, clarification or change results in the shortening of the length of time the Series A Preferred Stock is assigned a particular level of equity credit by that rating agency as compared to the length of time it would have been assigned that level of equity credit by that rating agency or its predecessor on the initial issuance o f the Series A Preferred Stock, or the lowering of the equity credit (including up to a lesser amount) assigned to the Series A Preferred Stock by that rating agency as compared to the equity credit assigned by that rating agency or its predecessor on the initial issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock. A “Regulatory Capital Event” is generally defined to mean our good faith determination that as a result of a change in law, rule or regulation, or a proposed change or an official judicial or administrative pronouncement, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the full liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock would not qualify as capital (or a substantially similar concept) for purposes of any group capital standard to which we are or wi ll be subject. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividend payments only when, as and if declared by our board of directors (or a duly authorized committee of the board). Dividends will be payable from the original date of issue at a rate of 5.85% per annum, payable quarterly, in arrears, on the fifteenth day of March, June, September and December of each year, beginning on June 15, 2019. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be non-cumulative . In the event of any l iquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of AIG, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment out of our assets may be made to or set aside for the holders of any junior stock, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock wil l be entitled to receive out of our assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders, an amount equal to $ 25,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock (equivalent to $ 25.00 per Depositary Share), together with an amount equal to all declared a nd unpaid dividends (if any), but no amount in respect of any undeclared dividends p rior to such payment date . Distributions will be made only to the extent of our assets that are available for distribution to stockholders (i.e., after satisfaction of all our liabilities to creditors, if any). T he Series A Preferred Stock does not have voting rights, except in limited circumstances, including in the case of certain dividend non-payments. Common Stock The following table presents a rollforward of outstanding s hares : Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Common Treasury Common Stock Stock Issued Stock Outstanding Shares, beginning of year 1,906,671,492 (1,040,062,063) 866,609,429 Shares issued - 3,127,472 3,127,472 Shares repurchased - - - Shares, end of period 1,906,671,492 (1,036,934,591) 869,736,901 Dividends Dividends are payable on AIG Common Stock only when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors in its discretion, from funds legally available for this purpose. In considering whether to pay a dividend on or purchase shares of AIG Common Stock, our Board of Directors considers a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the capital resources available to support our insurance operations and business strategies, AIG’s funding capacity and capital resources in comparison to internal benchmarks, expectations for capital generation, rating agency expectations for capital, regulatory standards for capital and capital distributions, and such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant. The payment of dividends is also subjec t to the terms of AIG’s outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, pursuant to which no dividends may be declared or paid on any AIG Common Stock unless the full dividends for the latest completed dividend period on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been declared and paid or provided for. The following table presents declaration date, record date, payment date and dividends paid per share on AIG Common Stock: Dividends Paid Declaration Date Record Date Payment Date Per Share February 13, 2019 March 15, 2019 March 29, 2019 0.32 February 8, 2018 March 15, 2018 March 29, 2018 0.32 For a discussion of r estrictions on payments of dividends to AIG Parent by its subsidiaries see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 201 8 Annual Report .

Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of shares of AIG Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares of AIG Common Stock through a series of actions. On February 13, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized an additional increase of approximately $ 1.5 billion to its previous share repurchase authorization. As of March 31, 2019 , $ 2.0 billion remained under our share repurchase authorization. Shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market, private purchases, through forward, derivative, accelerated repurchase or automatic repurchase transactions or otherwis e (including through the purchase of warrants) . Certain of our share repurchases have been and may from time to time be effected through Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plans. We did not repurchase any shares of AIG Common Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2019 .

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES
INCOME TAXES	15 . Income Taxes U.S. Tax Reform Overview On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted Public Law 115-97, known informally as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act). The Tax Act reduced the statutory rate of U.S. federal corporate income tax to 21 percent and enacted numerous other changes impacting AIG and the insurance industry. The Tax Act includes provisions for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) under which taxes on foreign income are imposed on the excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of certain foreign subsidiaries and for Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT) under which taxes are imposed on certain base eroding payments to affiliated foreign companies. There are substantial uncertainties in the interpretation of B EAT and GILTI and, while certain formal guidance was issued by the U.S. tax authority, there are still aspects of the Tax Act that remain unclear and additional guidance is expected later in 2019 . Such guidance may result in changes to the interpretations and assumptions we made and actions we may take, which may impact amounts recorded with respect to international provisions of the Tax Act, possibly materially. Consistent with accounting guidance, we treat BEAT as a period tax charge in the period the tax is incurred and have made an accounting policy election to treat GILTI taxes in a similar manner. Interim Tax Calculation Method We use the estimated annual effective tax rate method in computing our interim tax provision. Certain items, including those deemed to be unusual, infrequent or that cannot be reliably estimated, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. In these cases, the actual tax expense or benefit is reported in the same period as the related item. Certain tax effects ar e also not reflected in the estimated annual effective tax rate, primarily certain changes in the realizability of deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions, and are recorded in the period in which the change occurs. While certain impacts of the Tax Act are included in our annual effective tax rate, we continue to refine our calculations as additional information becomes available, which may result in changes to the estimated annual effective tax rate . Interim Tax Expense (Benefit) For the three -month period ended March 31, 2019 , the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was 18.8 percent . The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations differs from th e statutory tax rate of 21 percent primarily due to tax benefits associated with tax exempt income, reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income to income from continuing operations related to the disposal of availa ble for sale securities, and valuation allowance activity related to certain foreign subsidiaries, partially offset by tax charges associated with the effec t of foreign operations, state and local income taxes, a net tax charge related to the accrual of IR S interest, excess tax charges related to share based compensation payments recorded through the income statement, non-deductible transfer pricing charges, and U.S. tax imposed on GILTI earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The e ffect of foreign operatio ns is primarily related to income in our foreign operations taxed at statutory tax rates higher than 21 percent, other foreign taxes, and foreign income subject to U.S. taxation. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was 22.6 percent. The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations differs from the statutory tax rate of 21 percent primarily due to tax charges r elated to income in our foreign operations taxed at statutory tax rates higher than 21 percent, tax on GILTI earned by certain foreign subsidiaries, valuation allowance activity related to certain foreign subsidiaries and non-deductible transfer pricing ch arges, partially offset by tax benefits associated with tax exempt income, reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income to income from continuing operations related to the disposal of available for sale securities and excess tax deductions related to share based compensation payments recorded through the income statement. As a result of the Tax Act, the majority of accumulated foreign earnings that were previously untaxed are subject to a one-time deemed repatriation tax. Going forward, cer tain foreign earnings of our foreign affiliates will be exempt from U.S. tax upon repatriation. Notwithstanding the changes, U.S. tax on foreign exchange gain or loss and certain non-U.S. withholding taxes will continue to be applicable upon future repatri ations of foreign earnings. For the three - month period ended March 31, 2019 , we consider our foreign earnings with respect to certain operations in Canada, South Africa, the Far East, Latin America, Bermuda as well as the Europ ean, Asia Pacific and Middle East regions to be indefinitely reinvested. These earnings relate to ongoing operations and have been reinvested in active business operations. Deferred taxes, if necessary, have been provided on earnings of non-U.S. affiliate s whose earnings are not indefinitely reinvested. Assessment of Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance The evaluation of the recoverability of our deferred tax asset and the need for a valuation allowance requires us to weigh all positive and negative evidence to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The more negat ive evidence that exists, the more positive evidence is necessary and the more difficult it is to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed. Our framework for assessing the recoverability of the deferred tax asset requires us to conside r all available evidence, including: the nature, frequency, and amount of cumulative financial reporting income and losses in recent years; the sustainability of recent operating profitability of our subsidiaries; the predictability of future operating pro fitability of the character necessary to realize the net deferred tax asset; the carryforward period for the net operating loss, capital loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards, including the effect of reversing taxable temporary differences; and prudent and feasible actions and tax planning strategies that would be implemented, if necessary, to protect against the loss of the deferred tax asset. In performing our assessment of the recoverability of the deferred tax asset under this framework, we consider tax laws governing the utilization of the net operating loss, capital loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards in each applicable jurisdiction. Under U.S. tax law, a company generally must use its net operating loss carryforwards before it can use its f oreign tax credit carryforwards, even though the carryforward period for the foreign tax credit is shorter than for the net operating loss. Our U.S. federal consolidated income tax group includes both life companies and non-life companies. While the U.S. taxable income of our non-life companies can be offset by our net operating loss carryforwards, only a portion (no more than 35 percent) of the U.S. taxable income of our life companies can be offset by those net operating loss carryforwards. The remaini ng tax liability of our life companies can be offset by the foreign tax credit carryforwards. Accordingly, we utilize both the net operating loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards concurrently which enables us to realize our tax attributes prior to exp iration. As of March 31, 2019 , based on all available evidence, it is more likely than not that the U.S. net operating loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards will be utilized prior to expiration and, thus, no valuation allowance has b een established. Estimates of future taxable income, including income generated from prudent and feasible actions and tax planning strategies and interpretations and assumptions related to the impact of the Tax Act could change in the near t erm, perhaps materially, which may require us to consider any potential impact to our assessment of the recoverability of the deferred tax asset. Such potential impact could be material to our consolidated financial condition or results of operations for a n individual reporting period. For the three -month period ended March 31, 2019 , recent changes in market conditions, including interest rate fluctuations, impacted the unrealized tax gains and losses in the U.S. Life Insurance Companies’ available for sale securities portfolio, resulting in a decrease to the deferred tax asset related to net unrealized tax capital losses. The deferred tax asset relates to the unrealized losses for which the carryforward period has not yet begun, and as such, when assessing its recoverability, we consider our ability and intent to hold the underlying securities to recovery . As of March 31, 2019 , based on all available evidence, we concluded that no valuation allowance is require d . For the three -month period ended March 31, 2019 , we released $ 290 million of valuation allowance associated with the unrealized tax losses in the U.S. Life Insurance Companies’ ava ilable for sale securities portfolio, all of which was allocated to other comprehensive income. For the three -month period ended March 31, 2019 , recent changes in market conditions, including interest rate fluctuations, impacted the unrealized tax gains and losses in the U.S. Non-Life Companies’ available for sale securities portfolio, resulting in an increase to the deferred tax liability related to net unrealized tax capital gains. As of March 31, 2019 , we continue to be in an overall unrealized tax gain position with respect to the U.S. Non-Life Companies’ available for sale securities portfolio and thus concluded no valuation allowance is necessary in the U.S. Non-Life Companies’ available for sale securities portfolio. For the three -month period ended March 31, 2019 , we recognized a net decrease of $ 38 million in our deferred tax asset valuation allowance associated with certain foreign subsidiaries, primarily attributable to changes in projections and current year activity. Tax Examinations and Litigation On August 1, 2012, we filed a motion for partia l summary judgment related to the disallowance of foreign tax credits associated with cross border financing transactions in the Southern District of New York. The Southern District of New York denied our summary judgment motion and upon AIG’s appeal, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the Second Circuit) affirmed the denial. AIG’s petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court from the decision of the Second Circuit was denied on March 7, 2016. As a result, the case has been remanded bac k to the Southern District of New York for a jury trial. In January 2018, the parties reached non-binding agreements in principle on issues presented in the dispute and are currently reviewing the computations reflecting the settlement terms. The resolutio n is not final and is subject to various reviews. The litigation has been stayed pending the outcome of the review process. We can provide no assurance regarding the outcome of any such litigation or whether binding compromised settlements with the parties will ultimately be reached. We currently believe that we have adequate reserves for the potential liabilities that may result from these matters. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes At both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , our unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties , were $ 4.7 billion. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , our unrecognized tax benefits related to t ax positions that, if recognized, would not affect the effective tax rate because they relate to such factors as the timing, rather than the permissibility, of the deduction were $ 45 million and $ 38 million, respectively. Accordingly, at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate were $ 4.7 billion. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we had accrued liabilities of $ 2.3 billion and $ 2.2 billion , respectively, for the payment of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties. For the three -month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , we accrued expense (benefit) of $ 58 million and $ 54 million , respectively, fo r the payment of interest and penalties . We believe it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits could decrease within the next 12 months by as much as $ 3.9 billion, principally as a result of potential resolutions or settlements of prior years’ tax items. The prior years’ tax items include unrecognized tax benefits related to the deductibility of certain expenses and matters related to cross border financing transactions.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Use of Estimates	Use o f Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. Accounting policies that we believe are most dependent on the application of es timates and assumptions are considered our critical accounting estimates and are related to the determination of: liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses (loss reserves); reinsurance assets; valuation of future policy benefit liabilities a nd timing and extent of loss recognition; valuation of liabilities for guaranteed benefit features of variable annuity products; valuation of embedded derivatives for fixed index annuity and life products; estimated gross profits to value deferred policy a cquisition costs for investment-oriented products; impairment charges, including other-than-temporary impairments on available for sale securities, impairments on other invested assets, including investments in life settlements, and goodwill impairment; al lowances for loan losses; liability for legal contingencies; fair value measurements of certain financial assets and liabilities; and income tax assets and liabilities, including recoverability of our net deferred tax asset and the predictability of future tax operating profitability of the character necessary to realize the net deferred tax asset and estimates associated with the Tax Act. These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at th e time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Standards Adopted	Accounting Standards Adopted During 2019 Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standard that requires lessees with lease terms of more than 12 months to recognize a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on their balance sheets. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either opera ting leases or finance leases. Lessor accounting remained largely the same, with the exception of certain specified changes. We adopted the standard on its effective date of January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach and did not adjust prior comparative periods in accordance with the standard’s transition guidance . The majority of the Company ’s lease obligations pertain to real estate utilized in the operation of our businesses. Consequently, the primary impact of adoption resulted in the rec o gnition of discounted lease liabilities of $ 823 million and corresponding right-of- use asset s of $ 724 million for operating leases pertaining to our real estate portfolio, which are reflected in Other Liabilities and Other Assets, respectively. The standa rd did not have a material effect on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or required disclosures. Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities In March 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard that shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium by requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The standard does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which c ontinue to be amortized to maturity. We adopted the standard using a modified retrospective approach on its effective date of January 1, 2019. The standard did not have a material impact on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operat ions, cash flows or required disclosures. Derivatives and Hedging In August 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard that improves and expands hedge accounting for both financial and commodity risks. The provisions of the standard are intended to bette r align the accounting with an entity’s risk management activities, enhance the transparency on how the economic results are presented in the financial statements and disclosures, and simplify the application of hedge accounting treatment. We adopted the s tandard on its effective date of January 1, 2019. The standard did not have a material impact on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or required disclosures.
Future Application of Accounting Standards	Future Application of Accounting Standards Financial Instruments - Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that will change how entities account for credit losses for most financial assets, trade receivables and reinsurance receivables. The standard will replace the existing incurr ed loss impairment model with a new “current expected credit loss model” that generally will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. The standard will apply to financial assets subject to credit losses, including loans measured at amortized cost, r einsurance receivables and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. Additionally, the impairment of available-for-sale debt securities, including purchased credit deteriorated securities, are subject to the new guidance and will be measured in a simila r manner, except that losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. The standard will also require additional information to be disclosed in the footnotes. We plan to adopt the standard on its effe ctive date of January 1, 2020. We are continuing to develop our implementation plan to adopt the standard and are assessing the impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and required disclosu res. While we expect an increase in our allowances for credit losses for the financial instruments within scope of the standard, given the objective of the new standard, the amount of any change will be dependent on our portfolios’ composition and quality at the adoption date as well as economic conditions and forecasts at that time. Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard that eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of go odwill, through a hypothetical purchase price allocation, to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value not to exceed the total amou nt of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity should also consider income tax effects from tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The standard is eff ective on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the timing of our adoption. Any impact of the standard will be dependent on the market conditions of the reporting units at the time of adoption. Targeted Improvements to the Accou nting for Long-Duration Contracts In August 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standard update with the objective of making targeted improvements to the existing recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for long-duration contrac ts issued by an insurance entity. The standard prescribes significant and comprehensive changes to recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure as summarized below: Requires the review and if necessary update of future policy benefit assumptions a t least annually for traditional and limited pay long duration contracts, with the recognition and separate presentation of any resulting re-measurement gain or loss (except for discount rate changes as noted below) in the income statement. Requires the di scount rate assumption to be updated at the end of each reporting period using an upper medium grade (low-credit risk) fixed income instrument yield that maximizes the use of observable market inputs and recognizes the impact of changes to discount rates i n other comprehensive income. Simplifies the amortization of deferred acquisition costs (DAC) to a constant level basis over the expected term of the related contracts with adjustments for unexpected terminations, but no longer requires an impairment test. Requires the measurement of all market risk benefits associated with deposit (or account balance) contracts at fair value through the income statement with the exception of instrument-specific credit risk changes, which will be recognized in other comprehensive income. Increased disc losures of disaggregated roll-forwards of policy benefits, account balances, market risk benefits, separate account liabilities and information about significant inputs, judgments and methods used in measurement and changes thereto and impact of those chan ges. We plan to adopt the standard on its effective date of January 1, 2021. We are evaluating the method of adoption and impact of the standard on our reported consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and required disclosures. The adoption of this standard is expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and required disclosures, as well as systems, processes and controls. RECLASSIFICATIONS In the first quarter o f 2019, we began reporting investment income from our non-insurance subsidiaries in Net investment income instead of Other income on a prospective basis to be consistent with how we report investment income from our General Insurance and Life and Retiremen t reporting segments. This reclassification has no impact to our consolidated statement of operations.

The ranges of the unobservable inputs for constant prepayment rate, loss severity and constant default rate relate to each of the individual underlying mortgage loans that comprise the entire portfolio of securities in the RMBS and CDO securitization vehicles and not necessarily to the securitization vehicle bonds (tranches) purchased by us. The ranges of these inputs do not directly correlate to changes in the fair values of the tra nches purchased by us, because there are other factors relevant to the fair values of specific tranches owned by us including, but not limited to, purchase price, position in the waterfall, senior versus subordinated position and attachment points.
