Section 1 - Registrant's Business and Operations

Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 14, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
American International Group, Inc. (AIG) approved and adopted the AIG 2005
Senior Partners Plan (2005 Plan).  Under the 2005 Plan, select key employees
have been awarded units representing the right to receive $2,200 promptly after
January 1, 2011, so long as the participant's employment with AIG is not
terminated for any reason prior to payment.  Special accelerated vesting and
payment rules apply if a participant dies, becomes permanently disabled or
retires after age 65.  The 2005 Plan also provides for the payment of a
quarterly cash payment based upon a formula relating to the cash dividends AIG
pays on its common stock.  The units granted to certain senior executive
officers are set forth in the table below.  The 2005 Plan is attached hereto as
Exhibit 10.1.

In addition, the Compensation Committee has determined the annual year-end
bonuses for 2005 for certain senior executive officers, which are set forth in
the table below.  These year-end bonuses are in addition to interim bonuses paid
by AIG.
