AIG BOARD OF DIRECTORS AUTHORIZES REPURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF AIG COMMON STOCK, DECLARES COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND
NEW YORK, August 2, 2016 – American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) today announced the following actions taken by its Board of Directors:
| • | Authorized the repurchase of additional shares of AIG Common Stock with an aggregate purchase price of up to $3.0 billion. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, AIG repurchased approximately $6.2 billion of AIG Common Stock and $263 million in warrants to purchase shares of AIG Common Stock (the “Warrants”), pursuant to prior authorizations from the Board of Directors. AIG repurchased an additional approximately $698 million of AIG Common Stock through August 2, 2016. AIG’s aggregate remaining share repurchase authorization, inclusive of today’s announced $3.0 billion authorization, is approximately $4.0 billion. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, private purchases, through forward, derivative, accelerated repurchase or automatic repurchase transactions, or otherwise (including through the purchase of warrants). |
| • | Declared a quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share on AIG Common Stock, par value $2.50 per share. The dividend is payable on September 29, 2016, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2016. |
“We are pleased to increase AIG’s share repurchase authorization by $3.0 billion and declare a quarterly dividend,” said Douglas M. Steenland, Chairman of the Board of Directors of AIG. “AIG made a commitment to return $25 billion of capital to shareholders over 2016 and 2017, and has returned $7.9 billion through August 2nd, 2016 (including share and warrant repurchases, and dividends paid). This quarter’s capital actions demonstrate that AIG Management and the Board continue to be focused on achieving the company’s strategic objectives.”
This dividend will result in an adjustment to the exercise price of the outstanding Warrants (CUSIP number 026874156) and an adjustment to the number of shares of AIG Common Stock receivable upon Warrant exercise. The exact adjustments, determined by a formula set forth in the Warrant Agreement, will become calculable on or around September 12, 2016, the day prior to the ex-dividend date. Once the adjustments are determined, AIG will announce the actual adjustment to the Warrant exercise price and shares receivable. Further information on the Warrants and the adjustments is available in the Investor Relations section of AIG’s website.
