Filed May 13, 2022For Securities:AIG

Summary

This 8-K filing from American International Group, Inc. (AIG) details the outcomes of its Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 11, 2022. The primary focus of this report is the voting results on several key proposals. Investors will note the overwhelming approval for the election of all ten director nominees, indicating strong shareholder confidence in the current board's leadership. Additionally, shareholders overwhelmingly supported the company's executive compensation for 2021 and ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent auditor for 2022. However, a significant shareholder proposal to lower the threshold for calling special meetings from 25% to 10% was not approved. This suggests that a majority of shareholders, or at least a substantial portion represented by broker non-votes, prefer the current structure for special meeting requisitions. Overall, the meeting reflects broad shareholder support for AIG's governance and financial oversight, with a clear rejection of the proposed change to special meeting thresholds.
