International Lease Finance Corporation Sale

 

On December 9, 2012, we entered into a definitive agreement with Jumbo Acquisition Limited for the sale of 80.1 percent of the common stock of ILFC for approximately $4.2 billion in cash (the ILFC Transaction). Jumbo Acquisition Limited may elect to purchase an additional 9.9 percent of the common stock of ILFC for $522.5 million (the Option) within ten days after approval of the ILFC Transaction and the Option by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. We will retain a 10 percent ownership interest in ILFC if the Option is exercised, or a 19.9 percent ownership interest in ILFC if the Option is not exercised by Jumbo Acquisition Limited. If the Option is exercised, we expect our ownership at closing will be 9.4 percent due to immediate dilution from anticipated management issuances. The transaction is subject to required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

We determined ILFC met the criteria for held for sale and discontinued operations accounting at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Depreciation and amortization expense is not recorded on the assets of a business after the business is classified as held for sale. At the closing of the transaction, AIG will return $1.1 billion to ILFC in connection with the termination of intercompany arrangements between AIG and ILFC.

We recorded a $4.4 billion after tax loss on the sale of ILFC for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the three month period ended March 31, 2013, we recorded an additional $553 million pre-tax loss on the sale of ILFC, largely offsetting ILFC operating results for the period. ILFC operating results did not include depreciation and amortization expense in the three month period ended March 31, 2013 as a result of its classification as held for sale.

We also recognized in the first quarter of 2013 a $117 million pre-tax gain in connection with the sale of American Life Insurance Company (ALICO) as a result of a refund of taxes, interest and penalties after a successful appeal to the Japanese tax authorities related to the deduction of unrealized foreign exchange losses on certain bond securities held by ALICO prior to its sale to MetLife, Inc. (MetLife) in 2010.
