PROXY STATEMENT

April 5, 2004

The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of American International Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AIG”), to be held on May 19, 2004, or at any adjournment thereof. It may be revoked at any time prior to its use. Proxies will be voted as specified and, unless otherwise specified, will be voted for the election of directors, for the adoption of the Chief Executive Officer Annual Compensation Plan, for the adoption of a Director Stock Plan, for the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent accountants for 2004, against the shareholder proposal relating to political contributions, against the shareholder proposal relating to executive officer compensation and against the shareholder proposal relating to investments in tobacco equities. These proxy materials are being mailed to shareholders of AIG commencing on or about April 5, 2004.

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on March 26, 2004 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, 2,608,348,927 shares (exclusive of shares held by AIG and certain subsidiaries) of common stock, par value $2.50 per share (“AIG Common Stock”), were outstanding, each such share of AIG Common Stock having one vote.

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

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES

Governance Principles

AIG’s Board has established the AIG Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) to promote the effective functioning of the Board and its committees, to promote the interests of shareholders and to establish a common set of expectations for the governance of the organization. The Guidelines are included with this proxy statement as Appendix A. Also included as Appendices B through F are AIG’s Director Independence Standards, the Charters of AIG’s Audit, Nominating and Corporate Governance and Compensation Committees, and AIG’s Director, Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officer Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. All of AIG’s corporate governance materials, including the Guidelines and Committee charters, as well as AIG’s Code of Conduct for employees, are published on the governance section of AIG’s website at www.aigcorporate.com. AIG’s Board regularly reviews corporate governance developments and modifies its guidelines, charters and practices as warranted. Any modifications will be reflected on AIG’s website. In addition, any amendment to AIG’s Director, Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officer Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and any waiver applicable to AIG’s directors, executive officers or senior financial officers will be posted on AIG’s website within the time period required by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange.

Using the Independence Standards described in Appendix B, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, determined that Mrs. Hills and Messrs. Aidinoff, Chia, Marshall Cohen, William Cohen, Feldstein, Hoenemeyer, Holbrooke and Zarb are independent under the current New York Stock Exchange rules.

In making their independence determinations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board reviewed the charitable contributions made by The Starr Foundation to the organizations with which the directors are affiliated. The Starr Foundation was established and principally funded by C.V. Starr and his estate. Mr. Greenberg is chairman and a director of The Starr Foundation and Mr. Smith is a director and treasurer.

The Starr Foundation made the following contributions to the National Bureau of Economic Research (the “Bureau”) to establish the C.V. Starr Research Fund for International Economics (the “Research Fund”): in 2001, $1,325,000; in 2002, $1,325,000. Mr. Feldstein is president and chief executive officer of the Bureau. These donations were made solely to establish the Research Fund, and Mr. Feldstein has advised the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee that there is no present intention to seek additional funding for the Bureau from The Starr Foundation. The Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has determined that these contributions do not impair Mr. Feldstein’s independence for purposes of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. Mr. Feldstein is not a member of AIG’s Audit Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or Compensation Committee.

5

There were four regularly scheduled meetings and four special meetings of the Board during 2003. All of the directors attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and of the committees of the Board on which they served. The non-management directors meet in executive session, without any management directors present, either before or after each regularly scheduled Board meeting. Mr. Zarb presides at these executive sessions.

AIG has adopted policies on reporting of concerns regarding accounting and other matters and on communicating with non-management directors, which are available on the governance section of AIG’s website at www.aigcorporate.com.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee, which held nine meetings during 2003, assists the Board’s oversight of AIG’s financial statements and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the qualifications and performance of AIG’s independent auditor and the performance of AIG’s internal audit function. Mr. Hoenemeyer chaired the Audit Committee, which included Messrs. Aidinoff, Chia (commencing in May), Conable (until May) and Zarb and Mrs. Hills during 2003. The Board has determined, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, that all members of the Audit Committee are independent under both New York Stock Exchange and Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The Board has also determined that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards and that Mr. Hoenemeyer is an audit committee financial expert for purposes of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and has accounting or related financial management expertise for purposes of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Mr. Aidinoff chairs the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which held four meetings in 2003 and which also included Messrs. Marshall Cohen and Zarb and Mrs. Hills, all of whom the Board has determined, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, are independent under New York Stock Exchange rules. The primary purposes of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are to recommend individuals to the Board of Directors for nomination, election or appointment as members of the Board and its committees and to review on an ongoing basis the corporate governance principles and practices that should apply to AIG. In early 2004, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee nominated Mr. William Cohen to serve as a director, and the Board accepted the recommendation and elected him a director on February 2, 2004. Mr. Cohen was initially identified by the Chief Executive Officer as a potential nominee for director and thereafter was recommended by several non-management directors.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by the shareholders. The Guidelines included as Appendix A hereto include a listing of the characteristics that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers important for nominees for director. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate shareholder nominees on the same basis as all other nominees. Shareholders who wish to submit nominees for director for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for election at the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders may do so by submitting in writing such nominees’ names, in compliance with the procedures described under Shareholder Proposals For 2005 Annual Meeting in this Proxy Statement.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee, which held four meetings during 2003, oversees the administration of AIG’s compensation programs, establishes the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and makes recommendations with respect to compensation programs applicable to senior executives and other employee compensation. Messrs. Marshall Cohen, Hoenemeyer and Holbrooke are the current members of the Compensation Committee, with Mr. Cohen serving as the Chairman. The Board has determined, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, that all members of the Compensation Committee are independent under the New York Stock Exchange rules. Mr. Conable served on the Compensation Committee until his death in November 2003 and chaired the Committee until May 2003.

6

Other Committees

The principal function of the Executive Committee, which acted only by unanimous written consent in 2003, is to act for the Board between Board meetings. Messrs. Aidinoff, Greenberg, Hoenemeyer, Smith and Zarb and Mrs. Hills are the current members of the Executive Committee, with Mr. Zarb serving as the Chairman.

The Finance Committee, which oversees the financial affairs and investment activities of AIG and its subsidiaries, held 12 meetings during 2003. Ms. Futter and Messrs. Aidinoff, Chia, Conable (until May), Feldstein, Greenberg, Hoenemeyer, Holbrooke, Smith, Wintrob and Zarb served as members of the Finance Committee during 2003.

Ownership of Certain Securities

The only persons who, to the knowledge of AIG, own in excess of five percent of the AIG Common Stock are FMR Corp., 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, which filed a Schedule 13G on February 17, 2004, with respect to the 145,079,199 shares of AIG Common Stock held by it, and SICO, P.O. Box 152, Hamilton, Bermuda. According to the Schedule 13G filed by FMR Corp., it is the parent company of various entities (collectively, “Fidelity”) which provide investment advisory and management services to the Fidelity Group of mutual funds. The Schedule 13G states that Fidelity is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 5.56 percent of the outstanding AIG Common Stock, 141,061,406 shares as a result of providing these services to the funds, and that Fidelity International Limited, which operates as an entity separate from FMR Corp. and Fidelity, is the beneficial owner of 4,017,793 shares of AIG Common Stock. At January 31, 2004, SICO held 311,513,496 shares, or 11.94 percent, of the outstanding AIG Common Stock. The Starr Foundation and Starr (both having executive offices at 70 Pine Street, New York, New York) held 53,547,406 shares and 47,348,270 shares (including 18,844,309 shares held by the C.V. Starr & Co., Inc. Trust), or 2.05 percent and 1.81 percent, respectively, of the outstanding AIG Common Stock on that date.

The following table summarizes the ownership of equity securities of AIG, Starr and SICO by the directors, by Messrs. John A. Graf, Donald P. Kanak and Rodney O. Martin, Jr., who together with Messrs. Greenberg and Sullivan are the current executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table (as set forth under the caption “Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers”), and by the directors and current executive officers as a group.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires directors, executive officers and ten percent holders of AIG Common Stock to file reports concerning their ownership of AIG equity securities. Based solely on the review of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 furnished to AIG and certain representations made to AIG, AIG believes that the only filing deficiencies under Section 16(a) by its directors, executive officers and ten percent holders during 2003 were: three late reports filed by Mr. Bensinger, an executive officer, reporting eleven purchases involving an aggregate of 160 shares and one sale of 16 shares; four late reports filed by Mr. Graf reporting the acquisition of interests under an American General Corporation deferred compensation plan and one late report filed by Mr. Graf relating to the exercise of stock options and the subsequent sale of the underlying securities; six late reports filed by Mr. Greenberg reflecting the disposition of an aggregate of 2,323 shares by Starr upon the exercise of stock options by Starr employees; one late report for each of Messrs. Aidinoff, Chia, Marshall Cohen, Feldstein, Futter, Hills, Hoenemeyer, Holbrooke and Zarb relating to the grant of stock options; and two late reports filed by SICO reflecting the disposition of shares under the SICO Plan (see footnotes 6 and 7 to the Summary Compensation Table below).

Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers

Directors who are employees of AIG or its subsidiaries do not receive fees for service on the Board or the committees. Each other director of AIG receives director’s fees of $40,000 per year, plus $1,500 for each Board meeting attended. An annual fee of $5,000 is paid to each member of each committee of the Board. Members of each committee also receive $1,500 for each committee meeting attended. Directors who are not employees of AIG or its subsidiaries annually are granted 500 shares of AIG Common Stock, receipt of which is deferred until retirement from the Board, pursuant to the Director Stock Plan, for which shareholder approval is being sought. See Approval of a Proposal to Adopt the AIG Director Stock Plan. In addition, non-management directors receive annually, under the AIG Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan, an option which vests after one year and is exercisable for nine years thereafter to purchase 2,500 shares of AIG Common Stock at an option price equal to the fair market value of AIG Common Stock on the date of grant, which is the date of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Receipt of shares upon exercise of these options may be deferred at the election of the director. On February 10, 2003, each non-employee director (other than Mr. William Cohen who was not then a director) received an additional option grant with respect to 2,500 shares at an option price of $47.00 per share. Certain directors who are not employees of AIG also serve as directors of various subsidiaries of AIG and receive fees for their service in these capacities.

The following Summary Compensation Table sets forth the compensation accrued for services in all capacities to AIG and its subsidiaries by the “named executive officers” required to be disclosed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

______________

(1) Amounts shown for named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer represent year-end bonuses and bonuses paid quarterly pursuant to a supplementary bonus program. Mr. Greenberg does not participate in the supplementary bonus program. In December, 2001, in light of the losses suffered by AIG as a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks, Mr. Greenberg waived payment of any bonus. In addition, the Compensation Committee accepted management’s recommendation that no year-end bonuses be paid to other members of senior management for 2001.

(2) Mr. Kanak was elected Vice Chairman and Co-Chief Operating Officer as of January 1, 2004. Prior thereto he was Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of the AIG Companies in Japan and Korea.

(3) In 2002, Mr. Kanak received restricted stock units with respect to 20,000 shares, which vest on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant. In addition, in 2001, Messrs. Graf and Martin were each granted performance share units with respect to 48,050 shares of AIG Common Stock. These units vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant provided that certain performance standards have been achieved.

(4) Messrs. Graf and Martin became executive officers in May 2002. Salary and bonuses for Messrs. Graf and Martin for all three years as well as equity awards for 2001 were paid pursuant to contractual arrangements negotiated in connection with AIG’s acquisition of AGC in August 2001. Terms of these arrangements were largely negotiated prior to AIG’s offer to acquire AGC with Prudential plc, and AIG agreed to accept such terms in order to close the transaction on an expedited basis. See page 13 for a description of these arrangements.

(6) The LTIP payouts will be made by SICO pursuant to its Deferred Compensation Profit Participation Plan (the “SICO Plan”) and will not be paid by or charged to AIG.

(7) Amounts shown do not represent actual payments. Payments do not begin until the employee retires after reaching age 65. Payments are subject to forfeiture in the event of termination prior thereto. Amounts shown in 2002 represent the value, based on the closing sale price of AIG Common Stock on December 31, 2002 ($57.85), of shares of AIG Common Stock contingently allocated with respect to the January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2002 period but not distributed under the SICO Plan. The SICO Plan came into being in 1975 when the voting shareholders and Board of Directors of SICO, a private holding company whose principal asset consists of AIG Common Stock, decided that a portion of the capital value of SICO should be used to provide an incentive plan for the current and succeeding managements of all American International companies, including AIG. Participation in the SICO Plan by any person, and the amount of such participation, is at the sole discretion of SICO’s Board of Directors, and none of the costs of the various benefits provided under such plan is paid by or charged to AIG. The SICO Plan provides that shares currently owned by SICO may be contingently set aside by SICO for the benefit of the participant and distributed upon retirement provided that the employee fulfills the terms of the SICO Plan. The SICO Board of Directors may permit an early payout of units under certain circumstances. Of the individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table, only Messrs. Graf and Martin are eligible for such early payout with respect to units awarded to them for 2002 service and none of the individuals are eligible for early payout with respect to any units which may be awarded to them for 2003 service. Prior to earning the right to payout, the participant is not entitled to any equity interest with respect to such shares, and shares are subject to forfeiture under certain conditions, including but not limited to the participant’s termination of employment with AIG prior to normal retirement age other than by death or disability. In addition, SICO’s Board of Directors makes the final decision whether to pay a participant cash in lieu of shares of AIG Common Stock. In February, 2003, a determination was made as to the number of AIG shares contingently allocable to the participants in the SICO Plan with respect to units awarded in December 2000 for Messrs. Greenberg, Kanak and Sullivan and in December 2001 for Messrs. Graf and Martin with respect to the January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2002 period. The values shown for the year 2002 represent the number of AIG shares contingently allocated to the named executive officers as follows: Greenberg—192,000 shares; Graf—10,800 shares; Martin—10,800 shares; Kanak—32,000 shares; and Sullivan—32,000 shares.

    * Options would have no realizable value if there were no appreciation or if there were depreciation from the price at which the options were granted.

(1) All options were granted pursuant to the Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of such stock at the date of grant. The option grants to all executive officers, including the named individuals, provide that 25 percent of the options granted on any date become exercisable on each anniversary date in each of the successive four years and expire ten years from the date of grant.

(2) Appreciated price would be $90.36 per share for Messrs. Greenberg, Sullivan, Graf and Martin and $93.55 per share for Mr. Kanak, a weighted average of $90.88 per share for all executive officers, $76.56 per share and $91.97 per share, respectively, for non-employee directors and a weighted average of $91.69 per share for all employees, other than executive officers.

(3) Appreciated price would be $143.89 per share for Messrs.

These grants provide that 25 percent of the options granted become exercisable on each anniversary date in each of the successive four years and that the options expire ten years from the date of grant.

Mr. Smith and Mr. Sandler, an executive officer, were each granted options to purchase 4,000 shares of common stock of 21st Century at a price of $14.80 per share (the fair market value of 21st Century common stock on the date of grant) on June 25, 2003 as compensation for services to 21st Century. These options become exercisable on June 25, 2004 and expire ten years from the date of grant.

The following table summarizes certain information with respect to benefits that the proxy rules classify as granted under Long-Term Incentive Plans which were granted during 2002 (with respect to the 2003-2004 period) to the individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table.

SICO Long-Term Incentive Plans — Awards in 2002(1)

M.R. Greenberg	8,000	Two years	128,000 shares
D.P. Kanak	3,000	Two years	48,000 shares

J.A. Graf	1,000	Two years	16,000 shares
R.O. Martin	1,000	Two years	16,000 shares

______________

(1) Awards represent grants of units under the SICO Plan described in footnotes 6 and 7 to the Summary Compensation Table with respect to the two-year period from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2004. The SICO Plan contains neither threshold amounts nor maximum payout limitations. The number of shares of AIG Common Stock, if any, allocated to a unit for the benefit of a participant in the SICO Plan is primarily dependent upon two factors: the growth in future earnings of AIG during the unit award period and the book value of AIG at the end of the award period. As a result, the number of shares to be allocated with respect to units held for the 2003-2004 period and the value of such shares upon future payout cannot be determined at this time. The number of shares shown under “Estimated Future Payouts” represent the number of shares contingently allocable to the named individuals based upon the units awarded to them for the 2003-2004 period, assuming the same criteria as those used to allocate the shares of AIG Common Stock for the 2001-2002 period. As noted in the description of the SICO Plan in the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table, prior to earning the right to payout, the participant is not entitled to any equity interest with respect to such shares, and the shares are subject to forfeiture under certain conditions, including but not limited to the participant’s voluntary termination of employment with AIG prior to normal retirement age other than by death or disability. Any payments ultimately distributed under the SICO Plan will not be paid by AIG and will not be dilutive to AIG shareholders.

(1) In connection with acquisition transactions, options with respect to 31,645,168 shares were outstanding as a result of AIG’s assumption of options granted by the acquired entities, at a weighted average option exercise price of $39.25 per share. AIG has not made, and will not make, any future grants or awards of equity securities under the plans of these acquired companies.

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

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

(4) Effective with the approval of the 1999 Stock Option Plan by the Board of Directors in September 1999, option grants to directors were made pursuant to that plan. Prior thereto, options were granted to directors under the Option Plan for Directors. Under such plan, options were granted at an option price equal to the fair market value of AIG Common Stock on the date of grant, vesting after one year and exercisable for nine years thereafter.

(5) Excludes restricted stock units.

(6) AIG is seeking shareholder approval of this Plan as described under Approval of Proposal to Adopt the AIG Director Stock Plan.

In order to facilitate the performance of their management responsibilities, AIG provides to Messrs. Greenberg, Kanak, Smith, Sullivan and Tse automobiles and drivers and to these individuals and other officers and employees the use of a yacht and corporate aircraft, club memberships, recreational opportunities and clerical and investment management services. These facilities are provided for use for business purposes and the costs thereof are considered ordinary and necessary business expenses of AIG. Any personal benefit any of these persons may have derived from the use of these facilities or from the services provided is regarded as incidental and the amount thereof has therefore not been included in the compensation shown in the Summary Compensation Table.

In connection with AIG’s acquisition of AGC, AIG entered into employment agreements with both of Messrs. Graf and Martin. Under these agreements, during the employment period (August 29, 2001 through August 29, 2004), Messrs. Graf and Martin are each entitled to receive a base salary of not less than $650,000, an annual bonus of not less than $1,250,000 and a supplemental bonus of $90,000. If either of Mr. Graf’s or Mr. Martin’s employment is terminated without cause or by him, with good reason, during the employment period, he will receive (i) any accrued salary or benefits, (ii) a severance payment of not less than $1.9 million, (iii) a pro-rata portion of his annual bonus, (iv) certain retirement and other employee benefits as if he had continued to be employed until expiration of the agreement, (v) outplacement services and (vi) immediate vesting of all outstanding equity-based awards. If either of Mr. Graf or Mr. Martin is terminated for cause, or if Mr. Graf or Mr. Martin terminates his employment without good reason, AIG will have no further obligations to him other than the repayment of any accrued salary or benefits. If either of Mr. Graf’s or Mr. Martin’s employment is terminated due to death or disability, the equity-based awards will become fully vested and exercisable, and AIG will have no further obligations to him other than the payment of any accrued salary or benefits and any death or disability

13

benefits comparable to those paid to other AIG executives. Messrs. Graf and Martin may not compete with AIG for the period of one year following the termination of employment or, if earlier, August 29, 2004. Under the employment agreements Messrs. Graf and Martin are eligible to receive employee, medical and other welfare benefits provided by AIG to other AIG executives and through 2002, were entitled to certain perquisites and special benefits including annual club membership fees reimbursements, financial planning services, an annual physical, enhanced and split-dollar life insurance and, in the case of Mr. Martin, an automobile allowance.

In connection with his employment and relocation to New York, AIG has paid certain expenses involved with Mr. Wisner’s purchase of a cooperative apartment and provided credit support for his mortgage. During 2003, Mr. Sullivan was provided a mortgage loan by AIG in connection with his relocation from London to New York. The maximum amount of such loan outstanding during 2003 and at January 31, 2004 was $285,375 at an interest rate of 1.52 percent per annum. During 2003, Mr. Nottingham, an executive officer, was provided a mortgage loan by AIG with an effective annual interest rate of 2.30 percent per annum. The maximum amount of such loan outstanding during 2003 was the yen equivalent of $2,779,000. The loan was repaid in January 2004.

Messrs. Greenberg, Kanak, Smith, Sullivan, Tse and Wintrob or certain of them, are directors and officers of SICO, directors of The Starr Foundation and directors and officers of Starr. These individuals also receive compensation as officers of Starr for services rendered to Starr as well as compensation from SICO for services rendered to SICO. These services are not considered to detract materially from the business time of these individuals available for AIG matters and such compensation is not included in the compensation for services to AIG shown in the Summary Compensation Table.

AIG maintains a policy of directors and officers liability insurance for itself, its directors and officers, its subsidiaries, and their directors and officers. The premium for the year ending May 24, 2004 is approximately $9,128,648.

Pension Benefits

Through March 31, 1985, when such plan was terminated, employees of AIG and its subsidiaries who are citizens of the United States or non-citizens working in the United States were covered under the American International Group, Inc. Pension Plan, a contributory, qualified, defined benefit plan (“Original Pension Plan”). The annual pension for a participant was equal to 1.75% of Average Final Compensation multiplied by years of credited service as a participant (up to 40 years) less 1.4286% of his Social Security Benefit multiplied by years of credited service (limited to 35 years). Average Final Compensation was defined as the average annual compensation of a participant during the three consecutive years in the last ten years of his credited service affording the highest such average, or during all of the years of his credited service if less than three years. Benefits were paid monthly during the life of the participant, or, if applicable, during the joint lives of the participant and his contingent annuitant. The annual retirement allowance for participants with at least ten years of credited service was not less than 50% of 1.75% of Average Final Compensation, multiplied by years of credited service, or $1,200, whichever was greater. On April 1, 1985, a new non-contributory, qualified, defined benefit plan (“Current Retirement Plan”) was established, with provisions substantially the same as the Original Pension Plan, except for the non-contributory feature and except that in the annual pension formula described above, 1.25% of Average Final Compensation is multiplied by years of credited service as a participant (up to 44 years) less 1.25% of his Social Security Benefit multiplied by years of credited service (limited to 35 years). The 1.25% of Average Final Compensation is also used in the determination of the minimum retirement allowance. Effective January 1, 1989, the Current Retirement Plan formula changed in accordance with government mandated regulations from a Social Security offset to a Social Security integration method of computation where the offset is the average of the final three years’ compensation but no greater than 150% of the employee’s “covered compensation” (the average of the Social Security Wage bases during the 35 years preceding the Social Security retirement age) times credited service up to 35 years, multiplied by an applicable Social Security retirement age factor. For employees terminating from active service after January 1, 1993, the benefit formula for credited service on and after April 1, 1985 changed from 1.25% to 1.35% of Average Final Compensation. Effective January 1, 1996, the Current Retirement Plan formula now equals 1.25% times Average Final Compensation up to 150% of the employee’s “covered compensation” plus 1.75% times Average Final Compensation in excess of 150% of “covered compensation” times years of credited service prior to April 1, 1985 (up to 35 years) plus 1.75% times Average Final Compensation times years of credited service in excess of 35 years but limited to 40 years; plus .925% times Average Final Compensation up to 150% of the employee’s “covered compensation”, plus 1.425% times Average Final Compensation in excess of 150% of “covered

14

compensation” times years of credited service after April 1, 1985 (up to 35 years), plus 1.425% times Average Final Compensation times years of credited service in excess of 35 years but limited to 44 years.

As a result of the termination of the Original Pension Plan, all benefits accruing to the termination date became vested regardless of an employee’s years of service and annuities were purchased for benefits payable under that plan. AIG was entitled to receive the surplus remaining in the Original Pension Plan, other than the portion of the surplus attributable to employee contributions.

The 401(k) Plan for employees provides for salary reduction contributions by employees and matching contributions by AIG. The retirement benefits for most employees who participate in both the Current Retirement Plan and the 401(k) Plan are anticipated to be substantially greater than the benefits which would have been received under the Original Pension Plan.

Annual amounts of normal retirement pension commencing at normal retirement age of 65 based upon Average Final Compensation and credited service under the Current Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Supplemental Plan”) are illustrated in the following table:

With respect to Messrs. Greenberg Kanak and Sullivan, their respective years of credited service (under both plans) through December 31, 2003 are as follows: Greenberg—44 years; Kanak—11.5 years; Sullivan—24.4 years. Pensionable salary includes the regular salary paid by AIG and its subsidiaries and does not include amounts attributable to supplementary bonuses or overtime pay. For such named individuals, pensionable salary during 2003 was as follows: Greenberg—$1,000,000; Kanak—$650,000; Sullivan—$675,000.

During 1986, AIG adopted the Supplemental Plan to provide additional retirement benefits to designated executives and key employees. Under the Supplemental Plan, annual benefits, not to exceed 60% of Average Final Compensation, accrue at a rate of 2.4% of Average Final Compensation for each year of service or fraction thereof for each full month of active employment. The benefit payable under the Supplemental Plan is reduced by payments from the Original Pension Plan, the Current Retirement Plan, Social Security Benefit and any payments from a qualified pension plan of a prior employer. Messrs. Greenberg, Kanak and Sullivan were participants in the Supplemental Plan at December 31, 2003. Federal legislation limits the benefits which may be payable from the Current Retirement Plan. Effective January 1, 1991, the Supplemental Plan was amended to provide a benefit to most Current Retirement Plan participants in an amount equal to the reduction in the benefit payable as a result of the federal limitation. In September 2002, AIG approved a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (as amended and restated effective June 1, 2002) and an Excess Retirement Income Plan (effective as of June 1, 2002) which together provide the same benefits described above and replace the Supplemental Plan.

Messrs. Graf and Martin have accrued benefits frozen as of December 31, 2002 under the AGC Retirement Plan, the AGC Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and the AGC Restoration of Retirement Income Plan. Effective January 1, 2003 both individuals accrue their future benefits under the terms of the AIG Retirement Plan. The estimated annual benefits payable upon retirement at normal retirement age at 65 from all applicable AIG and AGC plans are $241,490 for Mr. Graf and $201,950 for Mr. Martin.

Certain Transactions

Certain transactions in 2003 effected in the ordinary course of business between AIG and its subsidiaries and SICO and Starr are summarized in the following table:

	SICO and Subsidiaries		Starr and Subsidiaries
	(in thousands)
AIG and Subsidiaries Paid:
For production of insurance business*	$	—	$	173,000
For services (at cost)* *		1,200		262
Rentals		4,200		114
AIG and Subsidiaries Received:
For services (at cost)* *		2,000		21,800
Rentals		77		2,200

   * From these payments, which constituted approximately 47% of Starr’s consolidated gross revenues for the year, Starr is generally required to pay its operating expenses as well as commissions due originating brokers. The amounts are paid at terms not greater than those available to unaffiliated parties, and represent approximately 0.2% of the gross revenues of AIG.

* * These services are provided and obtained at a cost which, in the opinion of the management of AIG, does not exceed the cost of obtaining such services from unaffiliated sources.

Starr from time to time offers members of AIG’s senior management the opportunity to purchase shares of its common stock, which are held subject to substantial risk of forfeiture if they voluntarily leave the employ of AIG and its affiliates. Book value is used to determine the purchase price. During 2003, Starr offered an aggregate of 1,500 shares of its common stock to AIG employees. Mr. Sullivan purchased 250 shares and each of executive officers Castelli, Moor, Schreiber, Shannon and Smith purchased 125 shares, respectively, at a purchase price of $300 per share. As of January 1, 2004, Mr. Kanak purchased an additional 250 shares and Mr. Sullivan purchased an additional 125 shares each at a purchase price of $300 per share.

Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee, formerly called the Stock Option and Compensation Committee, comprised of Messrs. M. Cohen, Hoenemeyer and Holbrooke for the year ended December 31, 2003, is the committee of the Board responsible for establishing the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, making recommendations with respect to compensation programs applicable to senior executives and administering AIG’s various compensation programs. The Compensation Committee Charter, adopted March 17, 2004, is included with this Proxy Statement as Appendix E.

In determining the compensation which is appropriate for both the Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management, the Committee’s starting point is AIG’s salary administration philosophy, which is to pay within a range that helps meet business objectives while considering external and internal influences and the level of funding allocated to employee compensation. At senior positions, one of the objectives is to pay at a level that allows AIG to attract, retain and motivate key executives by paying them competitively compared to peers within a selected group of major companies in the insurance industry (which includes companies in addition to those in the Peer Group included in the Performance Graph) while comparing AIG’s performance to the performance of those companies. In so doing, a variety of factors are considered, including the performance of AIG relative to those companies as measured by standards such as net income and its growth over prior periods, return on equity and property and casualty underwriting performance, the level of compensation paid to senior officers within the selected group of companies, and the level of individual contribution by AIG’s senior officers to the performance of AIG.

The Committee is informed of all compensation paid by Starr and SICO to AIG’s senior management, as well as the opportunities afforded to AIG’s senior management to invest in Starr common stock. It takes such compensation, including awards under the SICO Plan, into account to the extent such compensation is paid for services to AIG and its subsidiaries.

No specific formula is utilized to evaluate the various factors, in determining the specific amount of compensation payable or in determining the allocation of compensation to salary, bonus and stock option grants. The weight given to each factor with respect to each element of compensation is within the individual discretion and judgment of each member of the Committee. Each member also takes the appropriateness of the entire package into account when evaluating each element of compensation.

16

In considering the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, the Committee reviewed the activities and accomplishments of the Chief Executive Officer in relation to the strategic plans and goals of the AIG organization, both internally and in the national and global arenas. The Committee noted Mr. Greenberg’s continued leadership on issues of importance to the insurance industry as a whole, such as federal terrorism coverage, tort reform and asbestos legislation. The Committee recognized the Chief Executive Officer’s leadership role in AIG’s completion of significant new investments that will contribute to profitable growth in the future with the acquisition of GE Edison Life Insurance Company in Japan and the joint venture with the People’s Insurance Company of China to develop and market accident and health products through PICC’s branches throughout China. In determining the amount of the bonus, the Committee recognized the AIG’s outstanding financial results for the year, and noted that under the terms of the Chief Executive Officer Annual Compensation Plan (the “CEO Plan”) which was then under consideration and which is being submitted to the shareholders for approval, the maximum bonus payable for 2004 would be $8,000,000. The Committee determined that a significant increase over the $5,000,000 paid in 2002 would be appropriate and concluded that $6,500,000 was an appropriate measure of the outstanding performance of the Chief Executive Officer.

On the basis of the general factors set forth above, the Committee determined the bonuses for 2003 performance, the base salaries for 2004 and approved the levels of participation for 2004 by the senior executive officers in the supplementary bonus program for 2003-2004.

The Committee has recognized that AIG has traditionally encouraged long-term strategic management and the enhancement of shareholder value by providing high performing key executives the opportunity for superior capital accumulation over the course of their careers with AIG in the form of stock options. This is a tradition that the Committee believes to have contributed significantly to AIG’s considerable success over the years.

The Committee believes that the actions of AIG senior management and the Chief Executive Officer evidence the success of AIG’s compensation program in aligning the interests of senior management with AIG’s shareholders and demonstrate the value of providing senior management and the Chief Executive Officer with the significant option grants made for 2003 performance.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code denies a tax deduction to any publicly held corporation such as AIG for compensation paid to the chief executive officer and four most highly compensated officers of a corporation in a taxable year to the extent that any such individual’s compensation exceeds $1,000,000 unless certain requirements for performance-based compensation are satisfied. The Board is proposing for shareholder approval the CEO Plan, which is designed to satisfy performance-based requirements of Section 162(m). The Committee anticipates, therefore, that payments pursuant to the CEO Plan will be deductible under Section 162(m). In addition, compensation attributable to the exercise of options granted under the 1991 Employee Stock Option Plan and the Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan will be performance-based and therefore will be deductible in accordance with Section 162(m). Other compensation paid to the named executive officers in excess of $1,000,000 did not qualify as performance based and, therefore, was not deductible under Section 162(m).

The Board, upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, has determined that each member of the Committee is independent for purposes of the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.

Report of the Audit Committee

The role of the Audit Committee, comprised of Mrs. Hills and Messrs. Aidinoff, Chia, Hoenemeyer and Zarb for the year ended December 31, 2003, is to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of (i) the integrity of AIG’s financial statements, (ii) AIG’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) the independent accountants’ qualifications, independence and performance, and (iv) the performance of AIG’s internal audit function; and to prepare this report. The Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has determined that all members of the Committee are independent, as required by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board of Directors has also determined, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, that all members of the Committee are financially literate, as defined by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, and that Mr. Hoenemeyer is an audit committee financial expert and has accounting or related financial management expertise, as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and New York Stock Exchange, respectively.

At each regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting, the Audit Committee meets separately with both the independent accountants and with the Director of Internal Audit. Both the independent accountants and the Director of Internal Audit have free access to the Audit Committee and the Chairman of the Audit Committee. Periodically, the Audit Committee reviews and discusses with the General Counsel his report on legal and regulatory matters.

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

During 2003, the Audit Committee performed all of its duties and responsibilities under the then applicable Audit Committee Charter, holding nine meetings. Based upon the reports and discussions described in this report and the role and responsibilities of the Audit Committee described above and in the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in AIG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Report of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The role of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, comprised of Mrs. Hills and Messrs. Aidinoff, M. Cohen and Zarb, is to identify individuals qualified to become Board members and recommend individuals to the Board for nomination as members of the Board and its Committees, advise the Board on corporate governance matters and oversee the evaluation of the Board. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Committee is independent, as required by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

During 2003, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee developed, recommended to the Board of Directors for adoption and reviewed AIG’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, Director, Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officer Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and Director Independence Standards, which are included with this Proxy Statement as Appendices, to strengthen AIG’s corporate governance practices, promote the interests of AIG’s shareholders and reflect the adoption of the New York Stock Exchange corporate governance rules. The Committee, along with the Board of Directors, also determined that Mrs. Hills and Messrs. Aidinoff, Chia, Marshall Cohen, William Cohen, Feldstein, Hoenemeyer, Holbrooke and Zarb are independent within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and, in the case of Audit Committee members, the Securities and Exchange Commission as well.

The Committee approved and recommended to the Board of Directors the director nominees standing for election at the Annual Meeting, based on the criteria set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines. In evaluating and recommending nominees for positions on the Board of Directors, the Committee may, but is not required to, consider nominees proposed by management, and will also consider nominees recommended by shareholders.

APPROVAL OF A PROPOSAL TO ADOPT A CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
ANNUAL COMPENSATION PLAN

The Board of Directors has adopted, subject to approval of the shareholders, a new performance-based Chief Executive Officer Annual Compensation Plan (the “CEO Plan”). The purpose of the CEO Plan is to advance the interests of AIG by providing the Chief Executive Officer with an additional incentive to continue his efforts on behalf of AIG and its subsidiaries. The CEO Plan is included as Appendix G.

The CEO Plan provides that for each calendar year beginning with 2004 (each such year, a “Plan Year”) a bonus will be paid to the Chief Executive Officer based upon performance goals established for such year by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”). The performance goals for each Plan Year must be selected no later than March 30 of each year and use one or more of the following criteria: return on equity; net income; increases in net income over one or more prior years; earnings per share; book value per share; increases in share value as measured by stock price performance; combined loss and expense ratio; and expansion of geographic and product markets. The Committee has established performance goals for the Chief Executive Officer for the 2004 Plan Year pursuant to the terms of the CEO Plan.

The maximum bonus for any Plan Year may not exceed (i) $8,000,000 for the 2004 Plan Year, (ii) $9,000,000 for the 2005 Plan Year or (iii) $10,000,000 for the 2006 Plan Year and each Plan Year thereafter. The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce (but not increase) any bonus earned by the Chief Executive Officer in any Plan Year.

For purposes of the CEO Plan, “net income” is AIG’s net income for the calendar year as reflected in the financial statements of AIG and its consolidated subsidiaries for such year, but excluding realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the effect of catastrophic losses (that is, losses which would be deemed “catastrophic” under the standards established by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) for such period in excess of $100,000,000 and the effect of any changes in accounting principles that may be required subsequent to March 17, 2004 (“Net Income”). “Return on equity” is defined as Net Income expressed as a percentage of common shareholders’ equity at the beginning of the calendar year, exclusive of unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments, net of taxes.

It is intended that compensation payable under the CEO Plan be considered performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, and, therefore, be deductible for federal income tax purposes. Notwithstanding the adoption of the CEO Plan and its submission to shareholders, AIG reserves the right to pay the Chief Executive Officer other amounts which may or may not be deductible under Section 162(m) or other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Board of Directors may from time to time, amend or terminate the CEO Plan, provided that no alteration or amendment may be made without the approval of shareholders if approval of shareholders is required by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code to allow compensation payable under the CEO Plan to be tax deductible under Section 162(m).

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

Your Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposal to approve the CEO Plan.

APPROVAL OF A PROPOSAL TO ADOPT THE
AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC. DIRECTOR STOCK PLAN

The Board of AIG has adopted, subject to approval of the shareholders, the American International Group, Inc. Director Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of AIG by providing non-employee members of the Board of AIG with an additional incentive to continue their efforts on behalf of AIG and its subsidiaries. The Plan is included as Appendix H.

Under the Plan, each member of the Board who is not an employee of AIG or any of its affiliates (each, a “Non-Employee Director”) will be eligible to receive annually awards totaling 500 shares (or a lesser or greater amount determined by the Board, but not exceeding 1000 shares). These awards will be paid at such time or times as the Board may determine, and receipt of the awards may be deferred for a period of time and under terms and conditions determined by the Board. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan is 100,000 shares of AIG Common Stock.

The Plan will be administered and interpreted by the Board, which is authorized, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to establish the rules and regulations it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan. In

21

the event of a recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, rights offering, separation, reorganization or other change in AIG’s corporate structure, the Board may make appropriate anti-dilution and equitable adjustments in the number and kind of shares authorized by the Plan. The Board is authorized to terminate or amend the Plan at any time, but no amendment may be made without shareholder approval if such approval is required by law or stock exchange rule.

No shares of AIG Common Stock shall be awarded pursuant to the Plan after April 3, 2014.

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

Your Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposal to adopt the Director Stock Plan.

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF ACCOUNTANTS

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have approved the employment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent accountants of AIG for 2004. Representatives of that firm are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting with an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

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

The Audit Committee adopted a policy for pre-approval of audit and permitted non-audit services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP during 2003. Under the policy, the Audit Committee approves categories of services and fee caps for each category. The pre-approved services include: audit services, such as financial statement audits, regulatory filings and attestation services; audit-related services, such as employee benefit plan audits, due diligence, control reviews and GAAP consultations; tax services, such as tax compliance and consulting, transfer pricing, customs and duties and expatriate tax services; and other permitted non-audit services, such as information resources and training. No expenditure may exceed the dollar caps without the separate specific approval of the Audit Committee.

Fees Paid to Independent Auditors

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

	2003 (in millions)		2002 (in millions)(d)
Fees paid by AIG:
Audit fees	$	33.7	$	28.9
Audit-related fees(a)		2.2		2.1
Tax fees(b)		7.0		5.3
All other fees(c)		1.9		3.2

______________

(a) Audit-related fees are fees in respect of assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by independent auditors, including: employee benefit plan audits; due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions; accounting consultations and audits in connection with acquisitions; internal control reviews; and consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.

(b) Tax fees are fees in respect of tax return preparation and consultation on tax matters (including tax return preparation and consultation on tax matters for expatriate employees), tax advice relating to transactions and other tax planning and advice.

(footnotes continued on next page)

22

(footnotes continued from previous page)

(c) All other fees are fees in respect of services that are routine and recurring and would not impair the independence of the independent auditor, including: assistance with information technology; providing access to information resources; and training.

(d) Prior year numbers have been conformed to current year presentation.

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

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

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

Some of the following proposals contain assertions about AIG that AIG believes are incorrect. AIG has not attempted to refute these inaccuracies; rather your Board of Directors has recommended a vote against each of these proposals for broader policy reasons as set forth following each proposal. Share holdings of the various shareholder proponents and, where applicable, names and addresses of filers and co-filers, will be supplied upon oral or written request.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL I

Service Employees International Union Master Trust AFL-CIO, CLC, 1313 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20002 has notified AIG in writing that it intends to submit the following proposal at this year’s meeting:

Resolved, that the shareholders of American International Group Inc. (the “Company”) hereby request that the Company prepare and submit to the shareholders of the Company a separate report, updated annually, and containing the following information:

a. Policies for political contributions made with corporate funds, political action committees sponsored by the Company, and employee political contributions solicited by senior executives of the Company. This shall include, but not be limited to, policies on contributions and donations to federal, state and local political candidates, political parties, political committees and other political entities organized and operating under 26 USC Sec. 527;

b. An accounting of the Company’s resources, including property and personnel, contributed or donated to any of the persons and organizations described above;

c. A business rationale for each of the Company’s political contributions or donations; and

d. Identification of the person or persons in the Company who participated in making the decisions to contribute or donate.

Statement of Support

As shareholders, we support policies that apply transparency and accountability to corporate political giving.

There is currently no single source of information providing comprehensive disclosure to the Company’s shareholders on political contributions made with corporate funds. Without full transparency, we believe Company executives may be able to make decisions without a stated business rationale for such donations.

The result is that shareholders are unaware of how and why the Company chooses to make corporate contributions and the political ends being furthered by the gift of corporate funds.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, a leading campaign finance watchdog organization, our Company contributed $1.6 million to major party committees and political dinners in the 2002 election cycle. However, shareholders do not know whether that is the full extent of the utilization of our Company’s resources for political purposes.

In our view absent a system of accountability, corporate executives will be free to use the Company’s assets in ways that could pose reputational and legal risks for the company.

For these reasons, we urge a vote FOR this resolution.

23

MANAGEMENT’S STATEMENT IN OPPOSITION

Your Board of Directors opposes this proposal. AIG believes it is in the best interests of shareholders for AIG to support the political process by making prudent political contributions when such contributions are permitted by federal, state and local laws. AIG is fully committed to complying with all applicable laws concerning those political contributions, including laws requiring public disclosure of political contributions and lobbying expenses. Adoption of this proposal would require AIG to expend resources unnecessarily to create an annual report disclosing political contributions many of which are already publicly disclosed.

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

Your Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL II

Mercy Investment Program, 205 Avenue C, #10E, New York, New York and another filer have notified AIG in writing that they intend to submit the following proposal at this year’s meeting:

WHEREAS

—As shareholders, we are concerned about investing in the tobacco industry by any health care-related institution, especially when the negative health effects of tobacco use are so clearly understood by health care insurers and providers;

—A March 1998 analysis by the U.S. Treasury Department found the nation loses $80 billion a year on goods and services otherwise produced by Americans who die prematurely or retire early because of smoking-related ills.

—A Philip Morris-commissioned Arthur D. Little International Report in 2001 showed a cost-benefit analysis of smoking and social services in the Czech Republic. It showed savings of $24.2 million to $30.6 million from lower costs for health care and retirement benefits caused by a shortened life span of smokers who die early by tobacco use. If this Report is true it would indicate that, for purely financial reasons, such investments undermine the bottom-line of our industry, to say nothing of the ethical implications.

—While Steve Parrish, Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs for PM, responded that for the company “to commission this study was not only a terrible mistake, it was wrong.” (USA Today 07/30/01) This apology for the Report being commissioned failed to include an apology for the facts contained in the report.

—In 1996 the AMA called for mutual funds and health-conscious investors to divest from stocks and bonds in tobacco companies.

—We believe it is inconsistent for insurers to invest in tobacco equities and yet proclaim concerns about health and life. Whether or not the facts in studies such as that commissioned by Philip Morris are true or not are not the issue. The fact is that our company is invested in an industry that has a cavalier attitude toward life itself.

RESOLVED: that shareholders request the Board to initiate a policy mandating no further purchases of tobacco equities in any of the portfolios under our direct control unless it can be proven that tobacco use does not cause the illnesses and deaths that have been attributed to it. Should the company not provide such proof, it shall divest itself of all tobacco stocks by January 1, 2005.

Supporting Statements

In commenting on the huge tobacco equities of health insurers and health providers, a July 7-9, 1995 editorial in USA Today declared:

major U.S. health insurers are large investors in major U.S. tobacco companies. In other words, the nation’s merchants of care are partners with the nation’s merchants of death. These investments grate and gall. Every year, tobacco use is fatal for thousands of Americans. For insurers to provide health care for those suffering smokers on the one hand while investing in the source of their misery on the other is unconscionable. And hypocritical.

Harvard, Johns Hopkins and the Maryland Retirement and Pension Systems have divested from tobacco stocks. If you think our Company should not profit from peoples’ illness and death by investing in tobacco, vote YES for this resolution.

MANAGEMENT’S STATEMENT IN OPPOSITION

Your Board of Directors opposes this proposal. Your Board of Directors believes that AIG shareholders are best served by not co-mingling investment decisions with what may be considered to be social issues. Your Board of Directors therefore does not believe it would be appropriate for AIG to initiate an investment policy that precludes investments in an entire industry group.

Investment decisions of AIG should be made with the best interests of all shareholders in mind. Your Board of Directors has a fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value, which it believes is best accomplished through maintenance of a diversified portfolio. A diversified portfolio structure provides investment returns with reduced risk of loss and volatility. Excluding an entire industry group could impede AIG’s ability to achieve its investment results with an acceptable level of risk. Your Board of Directors believes that adoption of this proposal would inhibit its ability to fulfill its fiduciary responsibility to maximize shareholder value.

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

Your Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL III

Anne Ellsworth, care of Scott Klinger, Co-Director, Responsible Wealth, 37 Temple Place, 2nd floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02111 and other filers have notified AIG in writing that they intend to submit the following proposal at this year’s meeting:

WHEREAS,

American International Group’s American General subsidiary is one of America’s largest sub-prime lenders, making real estate and consumer finance loans to borrowers with less than perfect credit.

Historically, sub-prime lending has been fraught with predatory lending abuses. Predatory lending has stripped billions of dollars from borrowers who are often low-income, elderly or people of color, through inflated fees, loans made at rates higher than warranted by customers’ credit scores, poor disclosure of loan terms, and in some cases, outright fraud. Engaging in these practices can be extremely costly to companies and their shareholders. Within the last two years, Citigroup paid $200 million and Household International paid $484 million to settle predatory lending complaints.

AIG’s American General subsidiary lags other major industry players in developing policies protecting borrowers and shareholders from predatory lending abuses:

American General has not adjusted employee compensation policies to discourage abusive sales practices. Fair housing advocates have expressed concern to regulators about American General’s practice of rewarding employees for the amount of credit insurance they sell. These proponents of fair housing laws argue that credit insurance is often a poor value to customers and a potentially predatory practice. Citigroup and others in the industry have ceased compensating employees on the basis of credit insurance sales.

AIG’s American General unit continues to actively oppose (both directly and through industry trade associations) anti-predatory lending legislation at the state and municipal level.

American General has significant non-US sub-prime lending operations. American General does not appear to apply the same anti-predatory lending policies in the rest of the world as it does in the US. Other lenders have committed to common anti-predatory lending standards wherever they operate.

RESOLVED,

Shareholders request that the Board conduct a special executive compensation review to study ways of linking executive compensation to successfully addressing predatory lending practices. Among the factors to be considered in this review are: Implementation of policies to prevent predatory lending; evaluation of sub-prime loans by outside auditors for compliance with laws and company policies; constructive meetings with concerned community groups; and reductions in predatory lending complaints filed with government bodies. A summary of this review, prepared at reasonable cost and omitting proprietary information, shall be made available to shareholders, upon request, no later than October 1, 2004.

PLEASE VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL

25

MANAGEMENT’S STATEMENT IN OPPOSITION

Your Board of Directors opposes this proposal. AIG’s consumer finance operations are committed to complying with all applicable laws regarding lending practices. Your Board of Directors believes that the proposed executive review would not benefit AIG shareholders.

AIG’s consumer finance operations constitute just a small part of AIG’s overall businesses. The proposal would, in the Board’s view, inappropriately tie executive compensation to one small portion of AIG’s business. Your Board believes that AIG executives should be focused on improving all of AIG’s businesses.

In addition, AIG’s domestic consumer finance operations are subject to various federal statutes regulating lenders, including the Truth-In-Lending Act; the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act; the Home Owners Equity Protection Act; and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. Much of this complex regulatory regime is aimed at preventing so-called “predatory lending.” AIG’s subsidiaries, through their legal and compliance departments, have developed internal procedures and lending policies to ensure compliance with applicable laws both in the United States and abroad. Therefore, your Board of Directors believes that this proposal is inappropriate and unnecessary.

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

Your Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2005 ANNUAL MEETING

All suggestions from shareholders are given careful attention. Proposals intended for inclusion in next year’s Proxy Statement pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8 should be sent to the Secretary of AIG at 70 Pine Street, New York, New York 10270 and must be received by December 6, 2004. Under the AIG By-Laws, notice of any other shareholder proposal or the nomination of a candidate for election as a director to be made at the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be received not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to May 19, 2005 unless the 2005 Annual Meeting is not scheduled to be held on a date between April 19, 2005 and June 18, 2005, in which case notice must be received no less than the later of 90 days prior to the date on which such meeting is scheduled or 10 days after the date on which such meeting date is first publicly announced. A copy of the current AIG By-Laws may be obtained from the Secretary of AIG.

OTHER MATTERS

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

Incorporation by Reference

To the extent that this Proxy Statement has been or will be specifically incorporated by reference into any other filing by AIG under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the sections of this Proxy Statement entitled “Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation”, “Report of the Audit Committee” (to the extent permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission), “Report of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”, “Performance Graph” and the appendices to the Proxy Statement, shall not be deemed to be so incorporated, unless specifically otherwise provided in such filing.

Important Notice Regarding Delivery of Shareholder Documents

In accordance with a notice sent to certain shareholders of AIG Common Stock who hold AIG Common Stock through a broker or otherwise through a nominee and who share a single address, only one copy of this Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement and AIG’s 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders is being sent to that address unless AIG receives contrary instructions from any shareholder at that address. This practice, known as “householding”, is designed to reduce printing and postage costs. However, if any shareholder residing at such address wishes to receive a separate copy of this Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement or AIG’s Annual Report to Shareholders, he or she may contact the AIG Director of Investor

26

Relations at 70 Pine Street, New York, New York 10270, 212-770-6293, and AIG will deliver those documents to such shareholder promptly upon receiving the request. Any such shareholder may also contact the AIG Director of Investor Relations if he or she would like to receive separate proxy materials and annual reports in the future. If a shareholder receives multiple copies of AIG’s proxy materials and annual reports, he or she may request householding in the future by contacting the AIG Director of Investor Relations.

Proxy Solicitation

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

APPENDIX A

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES

I. Introduction

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

II. Roles of Board and Management

The roles of the Board and management are related, but distinct. AIG’s business strategy is implemented by its officers and other employees, under the direction of the chief executive officer (“CEO”). Management reports regularly to the Board on significant events, issues, and risks which may materially affect AIG’s business or financial performance.

The Board’s function is one of oversight. The Board reviews and discusses reports by management with respect to AIG’s performance, as well as significant issues facing AIG. In addition to its general oversight function, the Board, directly and through its committees, oversees AIG’s business and management in accordance with these Guidelines.

III. Board Composition

The size of the Board should balance the following goals:

• The size of the Board should facilitate substantive discussions by the whole Board in which each director can participate meaningfully.

• The composition of the Board should encompass a broad range of skills, expertise, industry knowledge and diversity of opinion.

• A majority of the Board shall consist of directors who are, under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”), “independent” in the business judgment of the Board (“Independent Directors”).

IV. Selection of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer

The Board is free to select its Chairman and the CEO in the manner it considers to be in the best interests of AIG at any given point in time. The Board does not have a policy on whether the role of Chairman and CEO should be separate or combined and, if it is to be separate, whether the Chairman should be selected from the non-executive directors or be an employee of AIG.

V. Selection of Directors

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

A. Nominations. The Board shall, based on the recommendations of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, select nominees for the position of director considering the following criteria:

• High personal and professional ethics, values and integrity;

• Ability to work together as part of an effective, collegial group;

• Commitment to representing the long-term interests of AIG;

• Skill, diversity, background, and experience with businesses and other organizations that the Board deems relevant;

A-1

• The interplay of the individual’s experience with the experience of other Board members, and the extent to which the individual would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committees of the Board; and

• Ability and willingness to commit adequate time to AIG over an extended period of time.

B. Shareholder Nominations. Shareholders may propose nominees for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by submitting names and supporting information to: Chairperson, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Secretary, American International Group, Inc., 70 Pine Street, New York, NY 10270.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall give appropriate consideration to candidates for Board membership proposed by shareholders and shall evaluate such candidates in the same manner as other candidates identified to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

C. Committee Evaluation. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall discuss and evaluate possible candidates in detail prior to recommending them to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall also be responsible for initially assessing whether a candidate would be an Independent Director. The Board, taking into consideration the assessment of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, shall determine whether a nominee or appointee would be an Independent Director.

D. Orientation. Management, working with the Board, will provide an orientation process for new directors, including background material on AIG, its business plan and its risk profile, and meetings with senior management. Periodically, management should prepare additional orientation sessions for directors on matters relevant to AIG, its business plan and risk profile.

VI. Election, Term and Retirement of the Directors

Directors hold office until the AIG Annual Meeting of Shareholders next succeeding his or her election and until a successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. The Board does not believe it should establish term limits or a mandatory retirement age.

VII. Board Meetings

The Board currently plans at least four regular meetings each year, with further meetings to occur (or action to be taken by unanimous written consent), at the discretion of the Board.

The agenda for each Board meeting will be prepared by the Chairman and CEO. Any director may suggest the inclusion of additional subjects on the agenda. The agenda for each committee meeting shall be established by the respective committee chairperson. Management will endeavor to provide all directors an agenda and appropriate materials in advance of meetings, although the Board recognizes that this will not always be consistent with the timing of transactions, the operations of the business and, in certain cases, it may not be desirable to circulate materials in advance of the meeting. Materials presented to the Board or its committees should be as concise as practicable but consistent with the need to provide the information needed for the directors to make an informed judgment and engage in informed discussion.

VIII. Executive Sessions

To ensure free and open discussion and communication among the non-management directors of the Board, the non-management directors will meet at least four times a year in executive sessions, with no members of management present. The non-management directors will designate the director who will preside at the executive sessions. Non-management directors who are not Independent Directors may participate in these executive sessions, but Independent Directors shall meet separately in executive session at least once per year.

IX. The Committees of the Board

A. Committees. The Board will have at least the following five committees: Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Executive Committee, Finance Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee must each have a written charter satisfying the rules of the NYSE. The Audit Committee must also satisfy the requirements of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)

A-2

Rule 10A-3. Each committee chair will give a report periodically on his or her committee’s activities to the Board.

B. Composition of the Committees. The Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will each be composed of at least three directors all of whom are, in the business judgment of the Board, Independent Directors. The required qualifications for the members of each committee are set out in the respective committee’s charter. A director may serve on more than one committee for which he or she qualifies.

X. Board Responsibilities

A. Management Succession. The Board shall review and consider the management succession plan, developed by the CEO, to ensure that future selections are appropriately considered. The principal components of this plan, on which the CEO will report at least annually to the Board, are:

• A proposed plan for CEO succession, both in an emergency situation and in the ordinary course of business; and

• The CEO’s plan for management succession for the other policy-making officers of AIG.

B. Evaluating and Approving Salary for the CEO. The Board, acting through the Compensation Committee, evaluates the performance of the CEO against AIG’s goals and objectives and approves the compensation level of the CEO.

C. Compensation Programs. The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board with respect to (1) AIG’s general compensation philosophy, (2) the compensation programs applicable to senior executives of AIG and (3) other employee compensation.

D. Board Compensation. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall periodically review and make recommendations to the Board regarding the form and amounts of Board compensation. The Board shall set the form and amount of director compensation, taking into account the recommendations of the Committee. Only non-management directors shall receive compensation for services as a director. To create a direct linkage with corporate performance, the Board believes that a meaningful portion of a director’s compensation should be provided and held in the common stock of AIG and other types of equity-based compensation.

E. Reviewing and Approving Significant Transactions. Board approval of a particular transaction may be appropriate because of several factors, including:

• legal or regulatory requirements;

• the materiality of the transaction to AIG’s financial performance, risk profile or businesses;

• the terms of the transaction; or

• other factors, such as entry into a new business or a significant variation from AIG’s strategic plan.

To the extent that the Board determines it to be appropriate, the Board shall develop standards to be utilized by management in determining the types of transactions that should be submitted to the Board for review and approval or notification.

XI. Expectations of Directors

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

A. Commitment and Attendance. All directors should make every effort to attend every meeting of the Board and every meeting of committees of which they are members. Directors are expected to attend the annual meeting of shareholders.

B. Participation in Meetings. Each director should be sufficiently familiar with the business of AIG, including its financial statements and capital structure, and the risks and the competition it faces, to facilitate active and effective participation in the deliberations of the Board and of each committee on which he or she serves. Upon request, management will make appropriate personnel available to answer any questions a director may have about any aspect of AIG’s business.

A-3

C. Loyalty and Ethics. In their roles as directors, all directors owe a duty of loyalty to AIG. This duty of loyalty mandates that the best interests of AIG take precedence over any interests possessed by a director.

AIG has adopted a Director, Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officer Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Directors should be familiar with the Code’s provisions and should consult with AIG’s counsel in the event of any issues that arise with respect to the matters set forth in the Code.

D. Other Directorships. AIG values the experience directors bring from other boards on which they serve, but recognizes that those boards also present significant demands on a director’s time and availability and may present conflicts and legal issues. Directors should advise the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the CEO before accepting membership on other boards of directors or other significant commitments involving affiliation with other businesses or governmental units.

E. Contact with Management. All directors are invited to contact the CEO at any time to discuss any aspect of AIG’s business. Directors also have complete access to other members of management. The Board expects that there will be frequent opportunities for directors to meet with the CEO and other members of the management in Board and committee meetings, or in other formal and informal settings.

Further, the Board encourages management to, from time to time, bring managers into Board meetings who (a) can provide additional insight into the items being discussed because of personal involvement and substantial knowledge in those areas and/or (b) are managers with future potential that the senior management believes should be given exposure to the Board.

F. Board Interaction with Institutional Investors and the Press. It is important that AIG speak to employees and outside constituencies with a single voice and that management serve as the primary spokesperson. If a situation does arise in which it seems necessary for a non-management director to speak on behalf of AIG, the director should consult with the CEO.

G. Confidentiality. The proceedings and deliberations of the Board and its committees are confidential. Each director shall maintain the confidentiality of all information received in connection with his or her service as a director.

XII. Communications with the Board of Directors

Security holders may communicate directly with one or more directors by writing to them c/o Secretary, American International Group, Inc., 70 Pine Street, New York, NY 10270.

XIII. Evaluating Board Performance

The Board, acting through the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, shall conduct a self-evaluation at least annually to determine whether it is functioning effectively.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall periodically consider the mix of skills and experience that directors bring to the Board to assess whether the Board has the necessary tools to perform its oversight function effectively. The Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall each conduct an annual self-evaluation, as provided for in its respective charter.

XIV. Reliance on Management and Outside Advice

In performing its functions, the Board is entitled to rely on the advice, reports and opinions of management, counsel, accountants, auditors and other expert advisors. The Board shall have the authority to retain and approve the fees and retention terms of its outside advisors.

• A director who is employed by AIG or has an immediate family member⁴ employed as an executive officer of AIG.⁵

• A director who receives, or has an immediate family member who receives, more than $100,000 per year in direct compensation from AIG, other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (provided that such compensation is not in any way contingent on continued service) and other than compensation received by an immediate family member as a non-executive employee of AIG.⁵

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

• A relationship arising solely from a director’s status as an executive officer, employee or a greater than 10% equity owner of a for-profit corporation or organization that has made payments to or received payments from AIG so long as the payments made or received during any of the past three fiscal years are not in excess of the greater of $1 million or 2% of the other company’s consolidated gross revenues for the fiscal year in which the payments were made (based on the other company’s most recently available financial statements).

APPENDIX C

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
(Amended March 17, 2004)

I. Purpose of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) assists the Board in its oversight of (i) the integrity of AIG’s financial statements, (ii) AIG’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) the qualifications, independence and performance of AIG’s independent auditor and (iv) the performance of AIG's internal audit function.

II. Responsibilities

AIG's business is managed under the oversight of the Board and the various committees of the Board, including the Committee. The basic responsibility of the Committee is to exercise its business judgment in carrying out the responsibilities described in this Charter in a manner the Committee members reasonably believe to be in the best interests of AIG and its shareholders.

The preparation of AIG’s financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is the responsibility of management. The independent auditor is responsible for the planning and conduct of audits and determining whether the financial statements present fairly in all material respects AIG’s financial position and results of operations.

III. Committee Membership

The Committee shall be comprised of at least three directors, each of whom shall serve at the pleasure of the Board and be “independent” under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”). The Board shall appoint a chairperson of the Committee.

Each member of the Committee shall be “financially literate”. At least one member of the Committee shall have “accounting or related financial management expertise”. At least one member of the Committee shall be an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules.

No Committee member shall simultaneously serve on the audit committees of more than two other public companies unless the Board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of that Committee member effectively to serve on the Committee.

Determinations of independence, audit committee financial expertise, financial literacy and accounting or related financial management expertise shall be made by the Board as the Board interprets such qualifications in its business judgment and in accordance with applicable law and regulation and SEC and NYSE rules and standards.

IV. Organization

The Committee will meet at least once every fiscal quarter or more frequently as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its responsibilities.

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

V. Relationship with Independent Auditor

A. The independent auditor for AIG is accountable to the Board and the Committee, as representatives of the shareholders. The Committee, in its capacity as a committee of the Board, shall be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) and any other registered public accounting firm retained for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review, or attestation services for AIG, and the independent auditor shall report directly to the Committee.

C-1

B. The Committee shall discuss with the independent auditor, at least on an annual basis, the matters required to be discussed by (1) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as it may be amended, relating to the conduct of the audit and (2) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 100, as it may be amended (“SAS100”), relating to the conduct of a review of interim financial information.

C. The Committee shall review with the independent auditor the items as to which the independent auditor is required to report to the Committee pursuant to Section 10A(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as in effect from time to time. These include (1) all critical accounting policies and practices to be used, (2) all alternative treatments of financial information within generally accepted accounting principles that have been discussed with management, (3) the ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatment, (4) the treatment preferred by the independent auditor and (5) other material written communications between the independent auditor and management.

D. The Committee shall review with the independent auditor (1) any management letter provided by the independent auditor and management’s response to that letter, (2) a summary of the major audit reports issued by the internal auditor department and management’s response thereto, (3) any accounting adjustments that were noted or proposed by the independent auditor but were “passed” (as immaterial or otherwise) and (4) any significant written communications between the audit team and the independent auditor’s national office respecting auditing or accounting issues presented by the engagement.

E. The Committee shall review with the independent auditor the responsibilities, budget, and staffing of AIG's internal audit function.

F. The Committee shall review with the independent auditor audit problems or difficulties encountered by the independent auditor in the course of its annual audit work and management’s response, including any restrictions on the scope of the independent auditor’s activities or access to required information, and any significant disagreements with management.

G. The Committee shall obtain from the independent auditor assurance that the audit was conducted in a manner consistent with Section 10A of the Exchange Act, which sets forth certain procedures to be followed in any audit of financial statements required under the Exchange Act.

H. As required by the NYSE, the Committee shall, at least annually, obtain and review a report by the independent auditor describing (1) the firm’s internal quality-control procedures, (2) any material issues raised by (a) the most recent internal quality-control review (or peer review) of the firm or (b) any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years, respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues and (3) all relationships between the independent auditor and AIG, including the matters set forth in the letter provided by the independent auditor pursuant to Independence Standards Board Standard No.1, to enable the Committee to assess the independent auditor’s independence.

I. The independent auditor shall submit to the Committee annually a formal written statement of the fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for each of the following categories of services rendered by the independent auditor: (1) the audit of AIG’s annual financial statements and the reviews of the financial statements included in AIG’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or services that are normally provided by the independent auditor in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements; (2) assurance and related services not included in clause (1) that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of AIG’s financial statements, in the aggregate and by each service; (3) tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services, in the aggregate and by each service; and (4) all other products and services rendered by the independent auditor, in the aggregate and by each service.

J.

APPENDIX F

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICER CODE OF
BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

I. Introduction

This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (“Code”) embodies the commitment of American International Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “AIG”) to conduct its business with the highest ethical standards and in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the countries in which AIG engages in business. All members of the Board of Directors, executive officers, and senior financial officers are expected to adhere to the principles and procedures set forth in this Code. Directors, executive officers, and senior financial officers that are also AIG employees are also required to abide by AIG’s Employee Code of Conduct, which is not part of this Code.

PART A

II. Honest and Candid Conduct

Each director, executive officer, and senior financial officer owes a duty to AIG to act with integrity. Integrity requires, among other things, being honest and candid.

III. Conflicts of Interest

A “conflict of interest” occurs when an individual’s private interest interferes with the interests of AIG. A conflict of interest can arise when a director, executive officer, or senior financial officer takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her AIG work objectively and effectively. In particular, a director, executive officer, and senior financial officer must never use or attempt to use his or her position at AIG to obtain any improper personal benefit, including loans or guarantees of obligations from any person or entity, for himself or herself, for his or her family members, or for any other person. Situations which could result in conflicts of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest should be avoided whenever possible.

Any director, executive officer, or senior financial officer who is aware of a transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest should discuss the situation with AIG’s General Counsel.

IV. Corporate Opportunities

Each director, executive officer, and senior financial officer owes a duty to AIG to advance AIG’s legitimate business interests when the opportunity to do so arises. Each director, executive officer, and senior financial officer is prohibited from taking for him or herself or directing to a third party a business opportunity that is discovered through the use of AIG corporate property, information, or position, unless AIG has already been offered and declined the opportunity. More generally, directors, executive officers, and senior financial officers are prohibited from using corporate property, information, or position for personal gain to the exclusion of AIG and from competing with AIG.

V. Confidentiality

In carrying out AIG’s business, directors, executive officers, and senior financial officers often learn confidential or proprietary information about AIG, its customers, suppliers, or other third parties. Directors, executive officers, and senior financial officers must maintain the confidentiality of all information so entrusted to them, except when disclosure is authorized by AIG or legally required. Confidential or proprietary information of AIG or other companies includes any non-public information that would be harmful to the relevant company or helpful to competitors if disclosed.

VI. Communications

Information provided by directors, executive officers, and senior financial officers to AIG must be full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable.

F-1

VII. Influencing Auditors

No director, executive officer, or senior financial officer shall take any action to fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate, or mislead AIG’s independent auditors.

VIII. Fair Dealing

AIG does not seek competitive advantages through illegal or unethical business practices. Each director, executive officer, and senior financial officer should endeavor to deal fairly with AIG’s customers, service providers, suppliers, competitors, and employees. No director, executive officer, or senior financial officer should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any unfair dealing practice.

IX. Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets

All directors, executive officers, and senior financial officers should protect AIG’s assets and help ensure their efficient use. All AIG assets should be used for legitimate business purposes only.

X. Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations

General Compliance. It is AIG’s policy to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in the countries in which AIG engages in business. It is the personal responsibility of each director, executive officer, and senior financial officer to adhere to the standards and restrictions imposed by those laws, rules, and regulations. In some instances there may be a conflict between the applicable laws of two or more countries; if and when such a conflict is encountered, it is important to consult with the AIG’s General Counsel to determine how to resolve the conflict.

Insider Trading. It is both illegal and against AIG policy for any director, executive officer, or senior financial officer who is aware of material non-public information relating to AIG or any of AIG’s customers to buy, sell, or otherwise speculate in any securities of those issuers (including derivatives related to such securities), or recommend that another person buy, sell, hold, or otherwise speculate in the securities of those issuers.

PART B

XI. Senior Financial Officers

Application. For the purpose of this Code, “senior financial officer” means the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and comptroller of AIG and the chief financial officer and comptroller of each significant AIG subsidiary.

Standards. All senior financial officers shall:

A. Be familiar and comply with AIG’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting to the extent relevant to his or her area of responsibility, so that AIG’s reports, other documents filed, or submitted or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) comply in all material respects with applicable federal securities laws and SEC rules and regulations;

B. Provide full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosures in reports and documents that are filed with, or submitted or furnished to the SEC and other governmental agencies and in other public communications;

C. Provide full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable information, without misrepresenting or causing others to misrepresent, material facts about AIG to AIG’s independent auditors; and

D. Comply with laws, rules and regulations of national, state, provincial, and local governments and other appropriate regulatory agencies and self-regulatory bodies.

PART C

XII. Amendments and Waivers of this Code

From time to time, AIG may amend or waive certain provisions of this Code. Any director, executive officer, or senior financial officer who believes that a waiver may be appropriate should discuss the matter with AIG’s General Counsel. Waivers may be made only by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of AIG’s

F-2

Board of Directors or AIG’s Board of Directors. Any waiver or amendment to this Code will be promptly disclosed to the extent required by applicable law or the New York Stock Exchange rules.

XIII. Compliance with this Code and Reporting

Directors, executive officers, and senior financial officers should strive to identify and raise potential issues before they become problems and should ask about the application of this Code whenever in doubt. Any director, executive officer, or senior financial officer who becomes aware of any existing or potential violation of this Code shall promptly notify AIG’s General Counsel. AIG will take such disciplinary or preventive action as it deems appropriate to address any existing or potential violation of this Code brought to its attention, including notifying the appropriate enforcement authorities in the event of criminal or other violations of law. If any provision of this Code is not permitted by the local laws of a country in which AIG engages in business, then AIG’s General Counsel should be consulted. AIG will not tolerate retaliation for reports of violations of this Code made in good faith.

Any questions relating to how these policies should be interpreted or applied should be addressed to AIG’s General Counsel.

The Board of Directors may from time to time alter, amend or terminate the Plan or any part thereof, provided that no alteration or amendment may be made without the approval of shareholders if such approval is required by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code to allow compensation payable hereunder to be tax deductible pursuant to such section.
