    American International Group, Inc. 2020 Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement March 31, 2020 Dear Fellow AIG Shareholder, Since late-2017, senior management has undertaken a series of significant actions to reduce AIG’s risk profile and position the Company for long-term, sustainable and profitable growth. AIG’s improved financial performance in 2019 reflects significant progress on our journey to become a leading insurance franchise and top performing company. Notable achievements in 2019 include: • Delivering on our commitment to return to full-year underwriting profitability in General Insurance, driven by instilling a culture of underwriting excellence, executing on a new risk appetite, overhauling AIG’s reinsurance strategy and program, and driving expense discipline; • Life and Retirement achieving solid results in the face of continued headwinds from low interest rates and tightening credit spreads; • Net Investment Income of $14.6 billion, increasing from $12.5 billion in the prior year; and • Signing an agreement to sell a majority interest in Fortitude Group Holdings, LLC, reflecting a significant milestone in de-risking our Legacy portfolio. In 2019, we also began significant foundational work to shape AIG 200, our global, multi-year effort focused on the long-term strategic positioning of AIG. Additional information on our strategy, 2019 financial performance, governance practices and shareholder engagement program is included in this 2020 Proxy Statement and the 2019 Annual Report.
