STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BLACKSTONE GROUP

On July 14, 2021, AIG and Blackstone announced that they have reached a definitive agreement for Blackstone to acquire a 9.9 percent equity stake in SAFG, which is the holding company for AIG’s Life and Retirement business, for $2.2 billion in an all cash transaction, subject to adjustment if the final pro forma adjusted book value is greater or lesser than the target pro forma adjusted book value. The transaction contemplates that most of AIG’s investment operations would be transferred to SAFG or its subsidiaries as part of the separation. As part of this agreement, AIG also agreed to enter into a long-term strategic asset management relationship with Blackstone to manage an initial $50 billion of Life and Retirement’s existing investment portfolio upon closing of the equity investment, with that amount increasing by increments of $8.5 billion per year for the next five years beginning in the third or fourth quarter of 2022, for an aggregate of $92.5 billion. Following the closing of the transaction, Blackstone will be entitled to designate one member of the board of directors of the Life and Retirement holding company, which will consist of 11 directors. Pursuant to the definitive agreement, Blackstone will be required to hold its ownership interest in SAFG 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 SAFG (the IPO), with the transfer restrictions terminating in full on the fifth anniversary of the IPO. In the event that the IPO of SAFG is not completed prior to the second anniversary of the closing of the transaction, 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 the third anniversary of the closing, Blackstone will have the right to exchange all or a portion of its ownership interest in SAFG for shares of AIG’s common stock on the terms set forth in the definitive agreement. These transactions are subject to customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, and are expected to close in the third quarter of 2021.
