American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) today announced the following actions taken by its Board of Directors:

  • Authorized the repurchase of additional shares of AIG Common Stock with an aggregate purchase price of up to $2.5 billion. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, AIG repurchased approximately $3.6 billion of AIG Common Stock, pursuant to prior authorizations from the Board of Directors. AIG repurchased an additional approximately $1.1 billion of AIG Common Stock through May 3, 2017. AIG’s aggregate remaining share repurchase authorization, inclusive of today’s announced $2.5 billion authorization, is approximately $3.8 billion. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, private purchases, through forward, derivative, accelerated repurchase or automatic repurchase transactions, or otherwise (including through the purchase of warrants).
  • Declared a quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share on AIG Common Stock, par value $2.50 per share. The dividend is payable on June 28, 2017, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 14, 2017.

“We are pleased to increase AIG’s share repurchase authorization by $2.5 billion and declare a quarterly dividend,” said Douglas M. Steenland, Chairman of the Board of Directors of AIG. “The company has returned $18.1 billion of capital to shareholders during 2016 and to date in 2017, including share and warrant repurchases and dividends paid. AIG’s Management and Board of Directors remain committed to executing our strategy and delivering value to investors, both today and into the future.”

This dividend will result in an adjustment to the exercise price of the outstanding Warrants (CUSIP number 026874156) and an adjustment to the number of shares of AIG Common Stock receivable upon Warrant exercise. The exact adjustments, determined by a formula set forth in the Warrant Agreement, will become calculable on or around June 9, 2017. Once the adjustments are determined, AIG will announce the actual adjustment to the Warrant exercise price and shares receivable. Further information on the Warrants and the adjustments is available in the Investor Relations section of AIG’s website.
