Summary
American International Group, Inc. (AIG) filed an 8-K on May 15, 2023, detailing the outcomes of its Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 10, 2023. The primary focus of the filing is the voting results on several key proposals, including the election of directors, advisory approval of executive compensation, ratification of the independent auditor, and a shareholder proposal regarding an independent board chair. The results indicate strong shareholder support for the re-election of all director nominees and the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent auditor for 2023. However, the advisory vote on named executive officer compensation did not receive majority support, with a significant number of votes cast against it. Additionally, a shareholder proposal advocating for an independent board chair policy was also narrowly defeated.
