Business Wire
NEW YORK -- February 19, 2013
American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) today commenced cash tender
offers for the maximum principal or liquidation amount of (i) certain of AIG’s
junior subordinated debentures denominated in sterling and euros (the
“Sterling and Euro Debentures”) tendered up to an aggregate purchase price of
$325 million, (ii) certain of AIG’s junior subordinated debentures denominated
in U.S. dollars (the “Dollar Debentures”) tendered up to an aggregate purchase
price of $650 million and (iii) the capital securities issued by three
statutory trusts controlled by SunAmerica Financial Group Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of AIG (“SAFG”), that hold junior subordinated debentures issued by
SAFG and guaranteed by AIG (the “SAFG Debentures”) and senior debentures
originally issued by SunAmerica Inc. and assumed by AIG (collectively, the
“SAFG Securities” and, together with the Sterling and Euro Debentures and the
Dollar Debentures, the “Securities”), tendered up to an aggregate purchase
price of $275 million, in each case at the prices determined as described
below. Details of the Securities are listed in the table below. The complete
terms of the tender offers are set forth in an offer to purchase, dated today
(the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter
of Transmittal”).
The price paid for each series of Securities included in any of the tender
offers will be calculated on the basis of the yield to maturity of a reference
security plus a spread determined using a modified “Dutch Auction” method, as
more fully described in the Offer to Purchase. The Early Participation Date
for the tender offers is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 4, 2013, and
the Expiration Date is 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on March 18, 2013 (in
each case, subject to extension). Acceptance of Securities is subject to
proration if any of the tender offers are oversubscribed. The Payment Date
will be promptly following the Expiration Date and is expected to be on or
about March 19, 2013 for the Dollar Debentures and SAFG Securities and on or
about March 20, 2013 for the Sterling and Euro Debentures.
Following consummation of the tender offer for the SAFG Securities, SAFG will
cause the trusts to be dissolved and the SAFG Debentures to be distributed to
the holders of their capital securities. Securities that are accepted (or the
SAFG Debentures distributed in respect thereof) in any of the tender offers
will be purchased, retired and cancelled by the relevant issuer.
