These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures that are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the 2022 Annual Report). The condensed consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2022 included herein has been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Annual Report.

Prior to the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2022, certain of our foreign subsidiaries included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements report on the basis of a fiscal year ending November 30. For these periods, the effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations of all material events occurring at these subsidiaries through the date of each of the periods presented in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been considered for adjustment and/or disclosure. Effective with the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2022, these foreign subsidiaries now report on the basis of a calendar year ending December 31, and corresponding calendar quarters. For additional information on the change in fiscal year of these foreign subsidiaries, see Note 1 in our 2022 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain normal recurring adjustments, including eliminations of material intercompany accounts and transactions, necessary for a fair statement of the results presented herein. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

We evaluated the need to recognize or disclose events that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2023 and prior to the issuance of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We adopted targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts (the standard or LDTI) on January 1, 2023 with a transition date of January 1, 2021. In accordance with the transition guidance in the standard, we updated our prior period Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein to reflect LDTI. For additional detail, see Note 2.

SALES/DISPOSALS OF ASSETS AND BUSINESSES

Separation of Life and Retirement Business and Relationship with Blackstone Inc.

On September 19, 2022, AIG closed on the initial public offering (IPO) of 80 million shares of Corebridge Financial, Inc. (Corebridge) common stock at a public offering price of $21.00 per share, representing 12.4 percent of Corebridge's common stock. Corebridge is the holding company for AIG’s Life and Retirement business. The aggregate gross proceeds of the offering to AIG, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other expenses payable by AIG, were approximately $1.7 billion. After consideration of underwriting discounts, commissions and other related expenses payable by AIG, AIG recorded $497 million as an increase in AIG’s shareholder’s equity, recalculated on an LDTI basis.

Blackstone Inc. (Blackstone) completed the acquisition of a 9.9 percent equity stake in Corebridge in November 2021. Blackstone is required to hold its ownership interest in Corebridge following the completion of the separation of the Life and Retirement business, subject to exceptions permitting Blackstone to sell 25 percent, 67 percent and 75 percent of its shares after the first, second and third anniversaries, respectively, of Corebridge IPO (which will be September 19, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively), with the transfer restrictions terminating in full on the fifth anniversary of the IPO (September 19, 2027).

Following the IPO, AIG owned 77.7 percent of the outstanding common stock of Corebridge. At March 31, 2023 AIG owns 77.3 percent of the outstanding common stock of Corebridge due to the settlement of Corebridge's vested employee stock compensation awards. AIG continues to consolidate the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Corebridge in AIG’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The portion of equity interest of Corebridge that AIG does not own is reflected as noncontrolling interest in AIG’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Events

On December 14, 2022, AIG announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, AIG Financial Products Corp. (AIGFP), filed a voluntary petition to reorganize under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware and filed a proposed plan of reorganization. The reorganization will not have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheets of AIG or our respective businesses. AIGFP has no material operations or businesses and no employees. In conjunction with the bankruptcy filing, AIGFP and its consolidated subsidiaries were deconsolidated from the results of AIG, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $114 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, reported in Net gain (loss) on divestitures and other. In addition, AIGFP and its subsidiaries were determined to be an unconsolidated variable interest entity.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. Accounting policies that we believe are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions are considered our critical accounting estimates and are related to the determination of:

•loss reserves;

•valuation of future policy benefit liabilities and recognition of measurement gains and losses;

•valuation of market risk benefits (MRBs) related to guaranteed benefit features of variable annuity, fixed annuity and fixed index annuity products;

•valuation of embedded derivative liabilities for fixed index annuity and index universal life products;

•reinsurance assets, including the allowance for credit losses and disputes;

•goodwill impairment;

•allowance for credit losses on certain investments, primarily on loans and available for sale fixed maturity securities;

•fair value measurements of certain financial assets and financial liabilities; and

•income taxes, in particular the recoverability of our deferred tax asset and establishment of provisions for uncertain tax positions.

These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.
