Frequently Asked Questions

The main event is the failure of the buyer, Jumbo Acquisition Limited, to make the required 'Deposit Amount' payment by the due date as stipulated in the Share Purchase Agreement for the sale of up to 90.0% of AIG's subsidiary, International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC).

ILFC is AIG's aircraft leasing subsidiary. The sale of ILFC was a significant strategic move for AIG, aimed at divesting non-core assets and focusing on its insurance operations following the 2008 financial crisis. The progress and eventual completion of this sale were closely watched by investors.

The failure to receive the deposit could indicate a potential breach of the Share Purchase Agreement by the buyer. This might lead to the termination of the agreement, renegotiation of terms, or legal action, all of which could impact AIG's financial position and its ability to complete the divestiture of ILFC as planned.

This filing only states that the deposit was not received by the due date. It does not explicitly state that the deal is terminated. However, it is a significant negative development and suggests potential issues with the transaction moving forward. Further announcements from AIG would be needed to confirm the status of the sale.
