Business Wire
American International Group, Inc. (NYSE:AIG) today announced
the following actions taken by its Board of Directors:
- Authorized the repurchase of additional
shares of AIG Common Stock with an aggregate purchase price of up
to $3.0 billion. During the nine-month period ended September 30,
2016, AIG repurchased approximately $8.5 billion of AIG Common
Stock and $263 million in warrants to purchase shares of AIG Common
Stock (the “Warrants”), pursuant to prior authorizations from the
Board of Directors. AIG repurchased an additional approximately
$946 million of AIG Common Stock through November 2, 2016. AIG’s
aggregate remaining share repurchase authorization, inclusive of
today’s announced $3.0 billion authorization, is approximately $4.4
billion. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open
market, private purchases, through forward, derivative, accelerated
repurchase or automatic repurchase transactions, or otherwise
(including through the purchase of warrants).
- Declared a quarterly dividend of $0.32
per share on AIG Common Stock, par value $2.50 per share. The
dividend is payable on December 22, 2016, to stockholders of
record at the close of business on December 8, 2016.
“We are pleased to increase AIG’s share repurchase authorization
by $3.0 billion and pay a quarterly dividend,” said Douglas M.
Steenland, Chairman of the Board of Directors of AIG.
“Year-to-date, the company has returned $10.8 billion to
shareholders, including share and warrant repurchases and dividends
paid. AIG’s Management and Board of Directors remain focused on
returning capital to shareholders, as well as building value
through sustainable growth in its businesses.”
This dividend will result in an adjustment to the exercise price
of the outstanding Warrants (CUSIP number 026874156) and an
adjustment to the number of shares of AIG Common Stock receivable
upon Warrant exercise. The exact adjustments, determined by a
formula set forth in the Warrant Agreement, will become calculable
on or around December 5, 2016, the day prior to the ex-dividend
date. Once the adjustments are determined, AIG will announce the
actual adjustment to the Warrant exercise price and shares
receivable. Further information on the Warrants and the adjustments
is available in the Investor Relations section of AIG’s
website.
