Section 5 — Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
     As previously discussed in American International Group, Inc.’s (“AIG’s”) Proxy Statement for its 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Determination Memorandum issued by the Office of the Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation on March 23, 2010 (the “Determination Memorandum”) permits AIG to pay 2010 stock salary to its top twenty-five most highly compensated employees in the form of units based on a basket of AIG common stock and debt securities designed to serve as a proxy for AIG’s long-term value. On May 28, 2010, final terms for these units, which are now referred to as Long-Term Performance Units, or LTPUs, were approved and AIG determined to pay 2010 stock salaries in LTPUs for a group of senior employees including named executive officers David L. Herzog, Kristian P. Moor, Rodney O. Martin, Jr. and Nicholas C. Walsh. These LTPU-based stock salaries will be settled in cash on the dates required by the Determination Memorandum, will be effective from January 1, 2010, and will replace any stock salary previously earned by these employees in 2010. In accordance with the Determination Memorandum, Robert H. Benmosche will continue to receive stock salary on the terms specified in his letter agreement previously disclosed in AIG’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 17, 2009.
     In addition, and in accordance with the Determination Memorandum, the rates of 2010 stock salaries for Messrs. Martin and Walsh will be reduced to $3,630,000 and $4,525,000, respectively, to reflect the additional cash salary earned by these employees in 2010 prior to the implementation of the approved cash salary rates specified in the Determination Memorandum.
     Copies of the AIG Long-Term Performance Units Plan and the form of Award Letter for LTPU stock salary are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference.
