This information has not been updated to reflect changes in the ownership by such parties of AIG Shares that are disclosed in filings made by one or more of such parties under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). In each case, such information may not be accurate or complete and AIG takes no responsibility therefor and makes no representation to its accuracy or completeness as of the date hereof or any subsequent date. 2006 Regulatory Settlements In February 2006, AIG reached a final settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ"), the Office of the New York Attorney General ("NYAG") and the New York State Department of Insurance ("DOI"). The settlements resolved outstanding litigation filed by the SEC, NYAG and DOI against AIG and concluded negotiations with these authorities and the DOJ in connection with the accounting, financial reporting and insurance brokerage practices of AIG and its subsidiaries, as well as claims relating to the underpayment of certain workers compensation premium taxes and other assessments. AIG, without admitting or denying the allegations in the SEC complaint, consented to the issuance of a final judgment on February 9, 2006: (a) permanently restraining and enjoining AIG from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), and Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2) and 13(b)(5) and Rules 10b-5, 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-13 and 13b2-1 of the Exchange Act; (b) ordering AIG to pay disgorgement in the amount of $700 million; and (c) ordering AIG to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $100 million. These amounts have been paid into a fund under the supervision of the SEC to be available to resolve claims asserted in various civil proceedings, including shareholder lawsuits. In February 2006, AIG and the DOJ entered into a letter agreement. In the letter agreement, the DOJ notified AIG that in its view, AIG, acting through some of its employees, violated federal criminal law in connection with misstatements in periodic financial reports that AIG filed with the SEC between 2000 and 2004 relating to certain transactions. The settlement with the DOJ consists of, among other things, AIG's cooperating with the DOJ in the DOJ's ongoing criminal investigation, accepting responsibility for certain of its actions and those of its employees relating to these transactions and paying $25 million. Effective February 9, 2006, AIG entered into agreements with the NYAG and the DOI, settling claims under New York's Martin Act and insurance laws, among other provisions, which were originally brought by the NYAG and the DOI in a civil complaint filed on May 26, 2005. Under the agreements, $375 million was paid into a fund under the supervision of the NYAG and the DOI to be available principally to pay certain AIG insureds who purchased excess casualty policies through Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. or Marsh Inc. In addition, approximately $343 million will be used to compensate participating state funds in connection with the underpayment of certain workers compensation premium taxes and other assessments. In addition, AIG paid $100 million as a fine to the State of New York. As part of these settlements, AIG has agreed to retain for a period of three years an independent consultant who will conduct a review that will include the adequacy of AIG's internal controls over financial reporting and the remediation plan that AIG has implemented as a result of its own internal review. PNC Settlement In November 2004, AIG and AIGFP, a subsidiary of AIG, reached a final settlement with the SEC, the Fraud Section of the DOJ and the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana with respect to issues arising from certain structured transactions entered into with Brightpoint, Inc. and the PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. ("PNC"), the marketing of transactions similar to the PNC transactions and related matters. As part of the settlement, the SEC filed against AIG a civil complaint, based on the conduct of AIG primarily through AIGFP, alleging violations of certain antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and for aiding and abetting violations of reporting and record keeping provisions of those laws. AIG, without admitting or denying the allegations in the SEC complaint, consented to the issuance of a final judgment permanently enjoining it and its employees and related persons from violating certain provisions of the Exchange Act, Exchange Act rules and the Securities Act, ordering disgorgement of fees it received from the PNC transactions and providing for AIG to establish a transaction review committee to review the appropriateness of certain future transactions and to retain an independent consultant to examine certain transactions entered into between 2000 and 2004 and review the policies and procedures of the transaction review committee. The DOJ filed against AIGFP PAGIC Equity Holding Corp. ("AIGFP PAGIC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AIGFP, a criminal complaint alleging that AIGFP PAGIC violated federal securities laws by aiding and abetting securities law violations by PNC, in connection with a transaction entered into in 2001 with PNC that was intended to enable PNC to remove certain assets from its balance sheet. The settlement with the DOJ consists of separate agreements with AIG and AIGFP and a complaint filed against, and deferred prosecution agreement with, AIGFP PAGIC. Under the terms of the settlement, AIGFP paid a monetary penalty of $80 million. On January 17, 2006, the court approved an order dismissing the complaint with prejudice and AIGFP PAGIC has since been dissolved. The obligations of AIG, AIGFP and AIGFP PAGIC under the DOJ agreements relate principally to cooperating with the DOJ and other federal agencies in connection with their related investigations.
