	AIG BOARD OF DIRECTORS AUTHORIZES REPURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF AIG COMMON STOCK
	NEW YORK, December 16, 2015 — American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of additional shares of AIG Common Stock with an aggregate purchase price of up to $3.0 billion. As of December 15, 2015, AIG has repurchased approximately $9.7 billion of shares of AIG Common Stock year to date, pursuant to prior authorizations from the Board of Directors. AIG’s aggregate remaining share repurchase authorization, inclusive of today’s announced $3.0 billion authorization, is approximately $4.3 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.
	“This additional authorization will enable AIG to continue returning excess capital to shareholders, while finalizing authorization plans for 2016,” said Douglas M. Steenland, Chairman of the Board of Directors of AIG. “The timely return of excess capital to shareholders is one of AIG’s strategic priorities.”
	Certain statements in this press release constitute forward-looking statements. These statements are not historical facts but instead represent only AIG’s belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside AIG’s control. It is possible that actual results will differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results indicated in these statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those in the forward-looking statements are discussed throughout AIG’s periodic filings with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
