Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
On December 11, 2019, American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) entered into Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to AIG’s Tax Asset Protection Plan (the “Plan”), dated as of March 9, 2011, between AIG and Equiniti Trust Company, as successor to Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, a former division of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Rights Agent, as previously amended by Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Plan, dated as of January 8, 2014, and Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Plan, dated as of December 14, 2016. The Plan, the purpose of which is to help protect AIG’s ability to recognize certain tax benefits in future periods from net operating losses and other tax attributes, was originally scheduled to expire at the close of business on March 9, 2014. Amendment No. 1 extended the expiration date of the Plan to the close of business on January 8, 2017 and also made minor technical changes to the Plan. Amendment No. 2 extended the expiration date of the Plan to the close of business on December 14, 2019 (subject to other earlier termination events as described in the Plan). Amendment No. 3, which was unanimously approved by AIG’s Board of Directors, extends the expiration date of the Plan to the close of business on December 11, 2022 (subject to other earlier termination events as described in the Plan) and also makes minor changes to the Plan to remove provisions related to the U.S. Treasury’s ownership of AIG equity interests that are no longer applicable since the U.S. Treasury no longer holds any equity interests in AIG.
The Plan is described in and included as Exhibit 4.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 9, 2011, Amendment No. 1 is described in and included as Exhibit 4.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 8, 2014, and Amendment No. 2 is described in and included as Exhibit 4.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 14, 2016, and each is incorporated in its entirety into this Item 3.03 by reference. The foregoing description of Amendment No. 3 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Amendment No. 3, attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated in its entirety into this Item 3.03 by reference.
