We are offering to exchange (the "exchange offer") up to $256,161,000 aggregate principal amount of our registered 6.820%
Dollar Notes due November 15, 2037 (the "New Dollar Notes") for an equivalent principal amount of our outstanding, unregistered

of our registered 6.797% Euro Notes due November 15, 2017 (the "New Euro Notes") for an equivalent principal amount of our

currently applicable to the Old Notes do not apply to the New Notes. For a more detailed description of the New Notes, see
"Description of the Notes" beginning on page 24.
AIG intends to apply to the Irish Stock Exchange Limited (the "ISE") for the New Euro Notes and the New Sterling Notes to

intend to list the New Dollar Notes on any securities exchange or automated quotation system.

Investing in the New Notes involves certain risks. See "Risk Factors" referred to on page 8 of this prospectus,
Item 1A. of Part II of AIG's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2012 and Item 1A. of
Part I of AIG's Annual Report on Form 10-K (as amended) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 to read about certain
factors you should consider before acquiring any New Notes.

Table of Contents
AIG has filed a registration statement to register the New Notes under the

Securities Act. AIG will not accept for exchange any Old Notes until the
registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act.

Expiration Date
11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 25, 2012, unless AIG extends
the exchange offer.

Resale of New Notes
Based on interpretive no-action letters of the SEC staff to third parties, AIG
believes that you may offer for resale, resell and otherwise transfer the New
Notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for the Old Notes
without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of
the Securities Act, if you:

· are not a broker-dealer that acquired the Old Notes directly from AIG or in

market-making transactions or other trading activities;

· acquire the New Notes in the ordinary course of your business;

· are not participating, have no intention to participate and do not have an

arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the
distribution of the New Notes; and

· are not AIG's "affiliate" as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

By tendering your Old Notes as described in the "The Exchange Offer --
Procedures for Tendering Old Notes Held through DTC" and "The Exchange
Offer -- Procedures for Tendering Old Notes Held through Euroclear or
Clearstream," you will be making a representation to this effect. If you fail to

satisfy any of these conditions, you cannot rely on the position of the SEC set
forth in the no-action letters referred to above and you must comply with all
applicable registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act in connection with a resale of the New Notes.

Restrictions on Sale of New Notes by Broker-
Broker-dealers that acquired the Old Notes directly from AIG, but not as a
Dealers
result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must comply with
all applicable registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act in connection with a resale of the New Notes.

Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account pursuant to the
exchange offer in exchange for Old Notes that it acquired as a result of market-
making or other trading activities must comply with all applicable prospectus
delivery obligations in connection with any resale of the New Notes and
provide AIG with a signed acknowledgment of compliance. By so
acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be
deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities
Act.

Table of Contents
This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may
be used by a broker-dealer in connection with a resale of New Notes received
in exchange for the outstanding Old Notes where such outstanding Old Notes
were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or
other trading activities. We have agreed, in the exchange offer and registration

rights agreement dated November 15, 2011 and entered into in connection with
the initial issuance of the Old Notes (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), to
promptly provide such number of copies of the prospectus to each such broker-
dealer as such broker-dealer reasonably may request in the letter of transmittal
accompanying this prospectus for a period of up to 30 days after the completion
of the exchange offer.

Registration Rights
Pursuant to Registration Rights Agreement, you have the right to exchange
outstanding Old Notes that you now hold for New Notes. We intend to satisfy
this registration right by this exchange offer. The New Notes will have
substantially identical terms to the outstanding Old Notes, except the New Notes
will be registered under the Securities Act and will not have registration rights
or the related additional interest provisions. After the exchange offer is
completed, you will no longer be entitled to any exchange or registration rights
with respect to your outstanding Old Notes.

Consequences If You Do Not Exchange Your Old Old Notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or are not accepted for
Notes
exchange will remain outstanding and continue to bear legends restricting their
transfer. You will not be able to offer or sell the Old Notes unless:

· an exemption from the requirements of the Securities Act is available to you;

or

· you sell the Old Notes outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in

accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

In addition, as described above in "Registration Rights," you will no longer be

entitled to any exchange or registration rights with respect to your outstanding
Old Notes.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer
The exchange offer is subject to certain conditions, which AIG may waive, as
described below under "The Exchange Offer -- Conditions to the Exchange
Offer." These conditions include, among others, that there has not been any
change or development that in AIG's reasonable judgment materially reduces the
anticipated benefits to AIG of the exchange offer or that has had, or could
reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on AIG, AIG's
businesses, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects.

Procedures for Tendering Old Notes
The procedures for tendering Old Notes are as described below under "The
Exchange Offer -- Procedures for Tendering Old Notes Held through DTC" and
"The Exchange Offer -- Procedures for Tendering Old Notes Held through
Euroclear or Clearstream."
