Long Term Incentive Plan
On March 15, 2017, the Compensation and Management Resources Committee (the Committee) of the Board of Directors (the Board) of
American International Group, Inc. (AIG) adopted the AIG Long Term Incentive Plan (the LTI Plan). The LTI Plan, which will be administered by the Committee, replaces the 2013 AIG Long Term Incentive Plan (the Prior
Plan) for future awards. Consistent with the Prior Plan, the LTI Plan is intended to provide selected officers and key employees of AIG with incentives to contribute to the long-term performance of AIG in a manner that appropriately balances
risk and rewards. The LTI Plan provides for grants of performance share units that are earned based on achievement of performance criteria during a three-year performance period and restricted stock units that are earned based on continued
employment throughout the three-year performance period, unless the Committee determines a different period is appropriate for some or all participants. Earned performance share units may range from 0 to 200 percent of a participants
target award based on achievement of the applicable performance metrics during the performance period. Participants may also receive dividend equivalent rights in the form of additional performance share units or restricted stock units, which will
accrue commencing with the first dividend record date of AIG common stock following the grant date of the award and only be paid upon vesting. Earned awards under the LTI Plan will vest as specified in the applicable award agreement and be settled
in shares of AIG common stock (or, at the election of AIG, cash equal to the fair market value thereof).
Awards and payments under the LTI Plan are
subject to forfeiture and repayment to the extent provided in the AIG Clawback Policy, or any other such AIG clawback policy as in effect from time to time. All awards under the LTI Plan will be granted under, and will be subject to the terms and
conditions of, the AIG 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, or any successor plan as approved by AIGs shareholders. Copies of the LTI Plan and form of AIG Long Term Incentive Award Agreement are attached as Exhibits 10.1
and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
March 15, 2017 Compensation Determinations
On March 15,
2017, the Committee determined that 2016 short-term incentive awards for members of AIGs Executive Leadership Team (other than to Peter D. Hancock, President and Chief Executive Officer) were earned at 40% of each members individual
target amount.
On March 15, 2017, the Committee also made regular 2017 grants under the LTI Plan to each member of AIGs Executive Leadership Team
(other than to Mr. Hancock). Grants were 70% in the form of performance share units and 30% in the form of restricted stock units, with both types of units vesting and being distributed at the end of the relevant three-year performance period and
with performance share units continuing to be based on AIGs relative total shareholder return and using relative option adjusted spread as a gating metric. For our continuing named executive officers, Mr. Sid Sankaran, Chief Financial Officer,
and Mr. Kevin Hogan, Executive Vice President Consumer, grants were based on previously disclosed long-term incentive targets. The Committee also made one-time grants of restricted stock units under the LTI Plan to each member of AIGs
Executive Leadership Team (other than Mr. Hancock) designed to provide for continuity during this time of transition, including 93,414 restricted stock units to Mr. Sankaran, 108,983 restricted stock units to Mr. Doug Dachille, Executive Vice
President and Chief Investment Officer, 101,198 restricted stock units to Mr. Hogan and 97,306 to Mr. Robert Schimek, Executive Vice President Commercial.
The restricted stock units vest on the second anniversary of the grant date subject to the participants continued employment through such date (or
earlier involuntary termination without cause).
Chief Executive Officer Arrangements
On March 17, 2017, upon the Committees recommendation, the Board approved a letter agreement between AIG and Mr. Hancock, in connection with Mr.
Hancocks previously announced transition. The letter agreement provides that Mr. Hancock will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer and director until a successor has been named or, if earlier, December 31, 2017 (the Transition
Period). Upon his termination, Mr. Hancock will receive benefits consistent with a termination without cause under the AIG 2012 Executive Severance Plan as described in AIGs 2016 Proxy Statement under the caption Potential Payments
on Termination. In consideration of his service during the Transition Period, Mr. Hancock will be eligible to receive a cash payment of $5,000,000 for service through the Transition Period. He will also continue to receive his normal 2017
compensation. A copy of the letter agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference. The foregoing summary regarding the letter agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
On March 17, 2017, upon the Committees recommendation and after discussion with Mr. Hancock, the Board determined that Mr. Hancock would not earn a
2016 short-term incentive award and approved a 2017 grant under the LTI Plan to Mr. Hancock based on his previously disclosed long-term target, 50% in the form of performance share units and 50% in the form of restricted stock units and having
the same terms as those made to other members of AIGs Executive Leadership Team.
