Basis of Presentation
1. Basis of Presentation
American International Group, Inc. is a leading global insurance organization. AIG provides insurance solutions that help businesses and individuals in over 200 countries and jurisdictions protect their assets and manage risks through AIG operations, licenses and authorizations as well as network partners. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “AIG,” “we,” “us,” “our” or "the Company" mean American International Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, and the term “AIG Parent” means American International Group, Inc. and not any of its consolidated subsidiaries.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AIG Parent, our controlled subsidiaries (generally through a greater than 50 percent ownership of voting rights and voting interests), and variable interest entities (VIEs) of which we are the primary beneficiary. Equity investments in entities that we do not consolidate, including corporate entities in which we have significant influence and partnership and partnership-like entities in which we have more than minor influence over the operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method unless we have elected the fair value option.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS
On October 30, 2025, AIG announced strategic investments in Convex Group Limited (Convex), a global specialty insurer, and Onex Corporation (Onex), a global asset manager.

On February 6, 2026, both transactions closed. AIG will also participate directly in Convex’s underwriting portfolio through a whole account quota share structure from January 1, 2026.

On October 27, 2025, AIG announced definitive agreements with Everest Group, Ltd.

AIG also paid Everest $30 million for originating and structuring the transaction and to reimburse Everest for certain expenses. The purchase price is subject to adjustment, 90 days after December 31, 2025, such that the final purchase price will be equal to 15 percent of the actual premiums written for the period beginning January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (aggregate premiums). Additionally, if AIG gross written premium paid and payable in 2026 are less than 80 percent of the aggregate premiums, Everest will reimburse a portion of the purchase price depending on the relative percentage of such aggregate premiums, which amount shall not exceed $70 million.

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;
reinsurance assets;
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.
