| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On November 19, 2021, American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) entered into the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among AIG, the subsidiary borrowers party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as Administrative Agent and the Several L/C Agent.
The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year total commitment of $4.5 billion, consisting of standby letters of credit and/or revolving credit borrowings without any limits on the type of borrowings. Under circumstances described in the Credit Agreement, the aggregate commitments may be increased by up to $500 million, for a total commitment under the Credit Agreement of $5.0 billion. Under the Credit Agreement, the applicable rate, commitment fee and letter of credit fee are determined by reference to the credit ratings of AIG’s senior long-term unsecured debt. Borrowings bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of U.S. dollar borrowings, Term SOFR plus an applicable credit spread adjustment plus an applicable rate or an alternative base rate plus an applicable rate, (ii) in the case of Sterling borrowings, SONIA plus an applicable credit spread adjustment plus an applicable rate, (iii) in the case of Euro borrowings, EURIBOR plus an applicable rate and (iv) in the case of Japanese Yen, TIBOR plus an applicable rate. The alternative base rate is equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest in effect as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its “prime rate” and (c) Term SOFR plus 0.100% plus 1.00%.
The Credit Agreement requires AIG to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth and subjects AIG to a specified limit on total consolidated debt to total consolidated capitalization, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations with respect to the incurrence of certain types of liens and certain fundamental changes. Amounts due under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon an “event of default,” as defined in the Credit Agreement, such as failure to pay amounts owed thereunder when due, breach of a covenant, material inaccuracy of a representation, or occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency, subject in some cases to cure periods.
AIG expects that it may draw on the Credit Agreement from time to time, and may use the proceeds for general corporate purposes. Letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement will be used for general corporate purposes. As of November 19, 2021, there are no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement, so that a total of approximately $4.5 billion remains available under the Credit Agreement. The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 1.02. | Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. |
In connection with its entry into the Credit Agreement, AIG terminated the commitments under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2017 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), among AIG, the subsidiary borrowers party thereto, the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and each Several L/C Agent. The Prior Credit Agreement provided for a $4.5 billion credit facility, consisting of standby letters of credit and/or revolving credit borrowings. No amounts were outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement at the time of its termination.
