Dividends

Payment of future dividends to our shareholders and repurchases of AIG Common Stock depends in part on the regulatory framework that we are currently subject to and that will ultimately be applicable to us, including as a nonbank systemically important financial institution under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) and a global systemically important insurer. In addition, dividends are payable on AIG Common Stock only when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors in its discretion, from funds legally available for this purpose. In considering whether to pay a dividend or purchase shares of AIG Common Stock, our Board of Directors considers a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the capital resources available to support our core insurance operations and business strategies, AIG’s funding capacity and capital resources in comparison to internal benchmarks, expectations for capital generation, rating agency expectations for capital, regulatory standards for capital and capital distributions, and such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

On March 26, 2015, AIG paid a dividend of $0.125 per share on AIG Common Stock to shareholders of record on March 12, 2015.

See Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2014 Annual Report for a discussion of restrictions on payments of dividends to AIG Parent by its subsidiaries.

Repurchase of AIG Common Stock

On February 12, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized an additional increase to its previous repurchase authorization of AIG Common Stock, resulting in an aggregate remaining authorization on such date of approximately $2.5 billion. Shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market, private purchases, through forward, derivative, accelerated repurchase or automatic repurchase transactions or otherwise. Certain of our share repurchases have been and may from time to time be effected through Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plans.

We repurchased approximately 29 million shares of AIG Common Stock during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.4 billion. As of March 31, 2015, approximately $1.1 billion remained under our repurchase authorization.

The total number of shares of AIG Common Stock repurchased in the first quarter of 2015 includes (but the aggregate purchase prices does not include) approximately 3.5 million shares of AIG Common Stock received in January 2015 upon the settlement of an accelerated share repurchase agreement executed in the fourth quarter of 2014.

The timing of any future repurchases will depend on market conditions, our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and other factors.
