Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this filing (Amendment No. 2 to the 2011 10-K) is to add two specific exhibits (99.1 and 99.2) that contain required certifications from AIG's principal executive officer (CEO) and principal financial officer (CFO). These certifications are mandated by the TARP Standards for Compensation and Corporate Governance under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. This amendment does not update or change any other financial or operational disclosures from the original 2011 10-K report.

No, this amendment does not provide new financial performance information for AIG in 2011. It is a procedural filing to include specific regulatory exhibits. All financial results, operational details, risks, and management's discussion and analysis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, are contained within the original Form 10-K filing, not this amendment.

This refers to specific requirements imposed on companies that received financial assistance under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), a U.S. government program established to stabilize financial markets. The standards typically involve oversight of executive compensation and corporate governance practices to ensure accountability and responsible management during and after the period of government support. The certifications filed here attest to AIG's compliance with these standards.

Being a 'large accelerated filer' means AIG meets certain criteria related to its public float (market value of shares held by non-affiliates) and reporting history. As of December 31, 2011, AIG had a public float exceeding $700 million and had been subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for at least 12 calendar months. This classification subjects the company to specific SEC filing deadlines and disclosure requirements, generally indicating a more mature and larger publicly traded entity.
