Frequently Asked Questions

The primary purpose of Amendment No. 2 is to allow AIG to conduct one or more public or private exchange offers for its outstanding Equity Units.

The parties involved are American International Group, Inc. (AIG) and the AIG Credit Facility Trust.

Equity Units are a type of security that typically combines features of both debt and equity. AIG may be conducting exchange offers to restructure its balance sheet, simplify its capital structure, manage its outstanding debt and equity obligations, or potentially refinance or retire specific securities.

Investors should review the specific terms of any future exchange offers for details on potential effects.
