Treasury Update on AIG Investment Valuation
11/1/2010
WASHINGTON – Following the completion of an initial public offering for AIA Group Limited (AIA) and the sale of American Life Insurance Company (ALICO) to MetLife, Inc., the U.S.
Department of the Treasury is today providing an update on the previously announced restructuring of the United States Government's (USG) loans to and investments in American
International Group, Inc. (AIG).
The AIA IPO raised $20.5 billion of cash proceeds. The ALICO sale raised approximately $16.2 billion of total proceeds, approximately $7.2 billion of which is cash. This approximately
$36.7 billion in aggregate proceeds will be used to fully repay the loan extended to AIG by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) and a substantial amount of the FRBNY’s
preferred interests in certain AIG subsidiaries.
As part of the restructuring, AIG will draw up to $22 billion in remaining Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds from Treasury to purchase the FRBNY’s preferred interests in the
special purpose vehicles holding AIA and ALICO, and Treasury will receive those interests. The assets held by these special purpose vehicles, which include, among others, AIG’s
remaining shares in AIA and the non-cash proceeds received from MetLife for ALICO, significantly exceed the amount of the preferred interests and, as such, no losses are expected on
those preferred interests.
After the restructuring, Treasury will own 92.1 percent of AIG, which equates to approximately 1.66 billion shares of common stock in the company. Based on the market closing price of
AIG on October 29, 2010, these shares are worth approximately $69.5 billion. This amount significantly exceeds Treasury's current $47.5 billion cash investment in AIG. (This is in
addition to the Treasury investment in the preferred interests described above.) AIG has announced that it expects to complete the restructuring by the end of the first quarter of 2011.
Based on current market prices and the value of the assets supporting the FRBNY’s loans to and preferred interests in AIG and Maiden Lane II and III, the USG expects to earn a profit
on its loans to and investments in AIG assuming the restructuring announced on September 30 is completed. Please see the chart below for further details.
The completion of the restructuring is subject to a number of conditions. Nevertheless, the AIA IPO and sale of ALICO reflect the substantial progress that AIG and the USG have made
to date in restructuring the company.

Repayment/Comments
Will be retired from cash proceeds of AIA IPO and ALICO sale. Note: Amount does not include all accrued
interest and fees payable to FRBNY (which, when combined with the remaining $19.2 billion Credit Facility,
totals approximately $20 billion). All accrued interest and fees will also be repaid with the cash proceeds of the
AIA IPO and the ALICO sale.
As part of the restructuring, AIG will draw up to $22 billion in remaining TARP funds from Treasury to purchase
preferred interests in the special purpose vehicles holding AIA and ALICO and Treasury will receive those
interests. Including the designated assets detailed in the Agreement in Principle announced by AIG on
September 30, the aggregate value of the assets supporting the preferred interests in the special purpose
vehicles significantly exceeds the amount of the preferred interests. These assets include the remaining shares
of AIA, MetLife equity securities received as part of the ALICO sale, equity interests in Nan Shan, Star Life
Insurance, Edison Life Insurance, and ILFC, and the Company’s equity interests in the Maiden Lane II and
Maiden Lane III. It is expected that proceeds from the monetization of these assets will be used to repay the
SPV preferred interests in full.
The fair value of the assets supporting Maiden Lane II is $16.5 billion. It is expected that the FRBNY loan to this
vehicle will be repaid in full.
The fair value of the assets supporting Maiden Lane III is $23.5 billion. It is expected that the FRBNY loan to
this vehicle will be repaid in full.
After the completion of the restructuring of AIG, Treasury will hold 1.655 billion shares of AIG common stock.
Based on the market closing price of AIG on October 29, 2010, that common stock has a value of $69.5 billion,
which exceeds Treasury's current cash investment of $47.5 billion.

Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks”
