| Item 5.07. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
On May 21, 2019, American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders at which holders of AIG’s common stock, par value $2.50 per share, voted upon (i) the election of thirteen nominees as directors until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and qualified; (ii) a non-binding advisory resolution to approve executive compensation; (iii) a non-binding advisory resolution on the frequency of future advisory shareholder votes on executive compensation; (iv) the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as AIG’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2019; and (v) a shareholder proposal calling for AIG’s Board of Directors to take steps to amend AIG’s By-laws to provide shareholders who hold at least 10 percent of AIG’s outstanding common stock the right to call special meetings.
The shareholders elected all thirteen director nominees presented, approved the non-binding advisory resolution to approve executive compensation, approved “annual” as the frequency of future advisory shareholder votes on executive compensation, ratified the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as AIG’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2019 and did not approve the shareholder proposal.

Pursuant to a recommendation by AIG’s Board of Directors that shareholders vote to hold future non-binding advisory shareholder votes to approve executive compensation on an annual basis, over 98 percent of the votes cast by shareholders voted in favor of this recommendation. In line with the Board’s recommendation and subsequent shareholder approval, the Board determined that AIG will hold future non-binding advisory shareholder votes on executive compensation on an annual basis until the next non-binding advisory shareholder vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation, which will occur no later than AIG’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
