(b) On May 10, 2012, American International Group, Inc. (AIG) announced that, due to his appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Mr. Donald Layton had submitted his resignation from the Board of Directors of AIG (the Board) to be effective as of the commencement of AIG’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 16, 2012 (the Annual Meeting).
In light of Mr. Layton’s unexpected resignation, the Board currently expects to add a Director. A candidate that the Board is considering is Mr. Morris W. Offit. While Mr. Offit is retiring as a Director of AIG at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the retirement guideline for AIG Directors, it may be in the best interests of AIG and its shareholders to ask Mr. Offit to serve an additional year, as permitted by the retirement guideline, in light of his knowledge of AIG’s businesses and affairs.
