NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–American International Group, Inc. (NYSE:AIG) announced today that it
has priced the sale of 361 million ordinary H shares of PICC Property
and Casualty Company Limited (PICC PC) by means of a placing to certain
institutional investors.

Upon the closing of the placing, which is scheduled for December 10,
2015, and is subject to customary closing conditions, AIG will receive
gross proceeds of approximately US$751.8 million, based upon a purchase
price of HK$16.14 (approximately US$2.08) per share. Thereafter, AIG
will continue to be the largest holder of PICC PC H shares, with a
position of approximately 851 million shares, representing 5.74 percent
of the total issued share capital of PICC PC.

“During our third quarter earnings call, we disclosed that narrowing our
focus is one of AIG’s four strategic priorities,” said Peter D. Hancock,
President and Chief Executive Officer of AIG. “By continuing to de-risk
our position in PICC PC, we are focusing AIG’s capital in our core
markets and enhancing our financial flexibility. We continue to greatly
value our strategic partnership with PICC PC.”

The ordinary H shares have not been and will not be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or any other
applicable law, and may not be offered or sold in the United States
absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable law.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy the ordinary H shares, nor shall there
be any sale of the ordinary H shares in any jurisdiction in which such
offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In
particular, no assurance can be given that AIG will be able to complete
the placing of the PICC PC ordinary H shares, or, if completed, what
the net proceeds will be from the placing. These forward-looking
statements are not historical facts but instead represent only AIG’s
belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are
inherently uncertain and outside AIG’s control. Except for AIG’s ongoing
obligation to disclose material information as required by federal
securities laws, AIG is not under any obligation (and expressly
disclaims any obligation) to update or alter any projections, goals,
assumptions, or other statements, whether written or oral, that may be
