AIG companies serve commercial and individual customers through one of the most extensive worldwide property-casualty networks of any insurer. In addition, AIG companies are leading providers of life insurance and retirement services in the United States. AIG Common Stock, par value $2.50 per share (AIG Common Stock), is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: AIG).

SALES/DISPOSALS OF ASSETS AND BUSINESSES

Separation of Life and Retirement Business and Relationship with Blackstone Inc.

On October 26, 2020, AIG announced its intention to separate its Life and Retirement business from AIG. On November 2, 2021, AIG and Blackstone Inc. (Blackstone) completed the acquisition by Blackstone of a 9.9 percent equity stake in Corebridge Financial, Inc., formerly known as SAFG Retirement Services, Inc. (Corebridge), which is the holding company for AIG’s Life and Retirement business. Pursuant to the definitive agreement, Blackstone will be required to hold its ownership interest in Corebridge following the completion of the separation of the Life and Retirement business, subject to exceptions permitting Blackstone to sell 25%, 67% and 75% of its shares after the first, second and third anniversaries, respectively, of the initial public offering of Corebridge (the IPO), with the transfer restrictions terminating in full on the fifth anniversary of the IPO. In the event that the IPO of Corebridge is not completed prior to November 2, 2023, Blackstone will have the right to require AIG to undertake the IPO, and in the event that the IPO has not been completed prior to November 2, 2024, Blackstone will have the right to exchange all or a portion of its ownership interest in Corebridge for shares of AIG’s common stock on the terms set forth in the definitive agreement. On November 1, 2021, Corebridge declared a dividend payable to AIG Parent in the amount of $8.3 billion. In connection with such dividend, Corebridge issued a promissory note to AIG Parent in the amount of $8.3 billion, which is required to be paid to AIG Parent prior to the IPO of Corebridge. On April 5, 2022, Corebridge issued senior unsecured notes in the aggregate principal amount of $6.5 billion, the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of the $8.3 billion promissory note previously issued by Corebridge to AIG. While we currently believe the IPO is the next step in the separation of the Life and Retirement business from AIG, no assurance can be given regarding the form that future separation transactions may take or the specific terms or timing thereof, or that a separation will in fact occur. Any separation transaction will be subject to the satisfaction of various conditions and approvals, including approval by the AIG Board of Directors, receipt of insurance and other required regulatory approvals, and satisfaction of any applicable requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On December 15, 2021, AIG and Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust (BREIT), a long-term, perpetual capital vehicle affiliated with Blackstone, completed the acquisition by BREIT of AIG’s interests in a U.S. affordable housing portfolio. The historical results of the U.S. affordable housing portfolio were reported in our Life and Retirement operating segments.

Sale of Certain AIG Life and Retirement Retail Mutual Funds Business

On February 8, 2021, AIG announced the execution of a definitive agreement with Touchstone Investments (Touchstone), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Western & Southern Financial Group, to sell certain assets of Life and Retirement’s Retail Mutual Funds business. This sale consisted of the reorganization of twelve of the retail mutual funds managed by SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC (SAAMCo), a Life and Retirement entity, into certain Touchstone funds and was subject to certain conditions, including approval of the fund reorganizations by the retail mutual fund boards of directors/trustees and fund shareholders. The transaction closed on July 16, 2021, at which time we received initial proceeds and the twelve retail mutual funds managed by SAAMCo, with $6.8 billion in assets, were reorganized into Touchstone funds. Additional consideration may be earned over a three-year period based on asset levels in certain reorganized funds. Six retail mutual funds managed by SAAMCo and not included in the transaction were liquidated. We will retain our fund management platform and capabilities dedicated to our variable annuity insurance products.

DEBT CASH TENDER OFFERS AND REDEMPTIONS

In the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased, through cash tender offers, and redeemed $7.6 billion aggregate principal amount of certain notes and debentures issued or guaranteed by AIG, for an aggregate purchase price of $7.8 billion, resulting in a total loss on extinguishment of debt of $299 million.

DEBT ISSUANCE

On April 5, 2022, Corebridge issued and sold $6.5 billion of senior unsecured notes consisting of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 3.50% Senior Notes due 2025, $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of its 3.65% Senior Notes due 2027, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 3.85% Senior Notes due 2029, $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of its 3.90% Senior Notes due 2032, $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.35% Senior Notes due 2042 and $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of its 4.40% Senior Notes due 2052.

CREDIT FACILITIES

On February 25, 2022, Corebridge entered into an 18-Month Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the 18-Month DDTL Facility) among Corebridge, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and the administrative agent thereto, and a 3-Year Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the 3-Year DDTL Facility) among Corebridge, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and the administrative agent thereto.

The 18-Month DDTL Facility and 3-Year DDTL Facility provided Corebridge with committed delayed draw term loan facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $6 billion and $3 billion, respectively. On April 6, 2022, in connection with the issuance of certain senior unsecured notes of Corebridge, (i) the commitments under the 18-Month DDTL Facility were terminated in full and (ii) the commitments under the 3-Year DDTL Facility were reduced from $3.0 billion to $2.5 billion. The ability to borrow under the 3-Year DDTL Facility is subject to, among other conditions, Corebridge’s confirmation to the administrative agent that an initial public offering of Corebridge is expected to be consummated within five business days following such borrowing. Commitments under the 3-Year DDTL Facility will remain available for borrowing until December 30, 2022, subject to the terms and conditions thereof.

As of June 30, 2022, a total of $2.5 billion remained available for borrowing under the 3-Year DDTL Facility.

On May 12, 2022, Corebridge entered into a revolving syndicated credit facility (the Corebridge Facility) as a potential source of liquidity for general corporate purposes. The Corebridge Facility provides for aggregate commitments by the bank syndicate to provide unsecured revolving loans and/or standby letters of credit of up to $2.5 billion without any limits on the type of borrowings and is scheduled to expire on May 12, 2027 or if the IPO has not occurred on or prior to December 29, 2023, on such date. As of June 30, 2022, a total of $2.5 billion remained available for borrowing under the Corebridge Facility.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. Accounting policies that we believe are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions are considered our critical accounting estimates and are related to the determination of:

•loss reserves;

•future policy benefit reserves for life and accident and health insurance contracts;

•liabilities for guaranteed benefit features of variable annuity, fixed annuity and fixed index annuity products;

•embedded derivative liabilities for fixed index annuity and life products;

•estimated gross profits to value deferred acquisition costs and unearned revenue for investment-oriented products;

•reinsurance assets, including the allowance for credit losses and disputes;

•goodwill impairment;

•allowance for credit losses on certain investments, primarily on loans and available for sale fixed maturity securities;

•legal contingencies;

•fair value measurements of certain financial assets and financial liabilities; and

•income taxes, in particular the recoverability of our deferred tax asset and establishment of provisions for uncertain tax positions.

These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.
