1. This Registration Statement relates to 45,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per share (the Common Stock), of American International Group, Inc. (AIG) being newly registered and, pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock that are being carried forward to this Registration Statement (Carryover Shares) that were previously registered in connection with the American International Group, Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan pursuant to AIG’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-168679) filed and effective August 9, 2010 (the August 2010 Registration Statement). AIG is contemporaneously filing a post-effective amendment to the August 2010 Registration Statement to deregister the Carryover Shares with respect to the August 2010 Registration Statement.
2. This Registration Statement also relates to an indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the American International Group, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
3. Each share of Common Stock has a related share purchase right (each, a Right) pursuant to the Tax Asset Protection Plan, dated as of March 9, 2011, between AIG and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Rights Agent. The terms of the Rights are described in AIG’s Registration Statement on Form 8-A, dated March 9, 2011, filed pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
4. Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee. This estimate has been computed in accordance with Rules 457(c) and (h)(1) and is calculated based upon the average of the high and low sales prices of the Common Stock on May 10, 2013, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape.
5. A registration fee of $19,799.30 with respect to the Carryover Shares was previously paid upon the filing of the August 2010 Registration Statement (out of a total registration fee of $169,708.26). Therefore, no further registration fee is required with respect to the Carryover Shares. AIG is paying registration fees solely with respect to the 45,000,000 shares of Common Stock newly registered hereby. See note (1) above.

All documents filed by AIG after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold, or which deregisters all such securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents, provided, however, that AIG is not incorporating by reference any information in these documents or filings that is deemed “furnished” to and not filed with the Commission.

Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 4.    Description of Securities.

The Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.

Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

The consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedules and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (which is included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting) incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference to AIG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.


Table of Contents

The consolidated financial statements of AIA Group Limited incorporated into this Registration Statement by reference to AIG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 have been so incorporated in reliance upon the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers, independent accountants, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

The validity of the shares of Common Stock offered pursuant to the Plan will be passed upon by James J. Killerlane III, Esq., Associate General Counsel and Assistant Secretary of AIG. Mr. Killerlane is regularly employed by AIG, participates in various AIG employee benefit plans under which he may receive shares of Common Stock and currently beneficially owns less than 1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The restated certificate of incorporation of AIG provides that AIG shall indemnify to the full extent permitted by law any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or his or her testator or intestate, is or was a director, officer or employee of AIG or serves or served any other enterprise at the request of AIG. Section 6.4 of AIG’s amended and restated by-laws contains a similar provision.

The restated certificate of incorporation of AIG also provides that a director will not be personally liable to AIG or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that the exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits indemnification against expenses, fines, judgments and settlements incurred by any director, officer, employee or agent of a company in the event of pending, threatened or completed civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings, if such person was, or was threatened to be, made a party by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the company. Section 145 also provides that the indemnification provided for therein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled. In addition, AIG and its subsidiaries maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.

Item 7.    Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 8.    Exhibits.

The exhibits are listed in the Exhibit Index.

Item 9.    Undertakings.

AIG hereby undertakes:

(a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;


Table of Contents

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by AIG pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of AIG’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of AIG pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, AIG has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by AIG of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of AIG in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against AIG by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, AIG will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
