Re:                             Compensation Payments and Structure for AIG “Top 25” Employee

 

Dear Mr. Hurd:

 

Pursuant to the Department of the Treasury’s Interim Final Rule on TARP Standards for Compensation and Corporate Governance (the “Rule”),(1) on April 1, 2011, the Office of the Special Master issued a determination letter (the “2011 Determination Letter”) to American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”), with respect to 2011 compensation payments and structures for AIG’s “top 25” executive officers and most highly compensated employees. 31 C.F.R. § 30.16(a)(3)(i).

 

AIG requested a change in the compensation of an employee who has received a significant promotion that will substantially increase the employee’s responsibilities.  The total direct compensation that AIG has proposed for this employee is reasonable relative to the total direct compensation paid to persons in similar positions or roles at similar entities.  The change would increase the stock salary rate and target long-term restricted stock award, but the cash salary rate would remain unchanged.  In light of the particular facts as communicated by AIG with respect to such employee’s promotion and role at AIG, and as previously discussed with you, the Office of the Special Master has approved this request.  Accordingly, Exhibit I to the 2011 Determination Letter is hereby amended as follows:

 

Employee ID

 

Cash Salary

 

Stock Salary

 

Long-Term
Restricted Stock

 

Total Direct
Compensation

$

500,000

1,937,500

The approval in this letter applies only to the employee referenced above and shall not be relied upon by anyone with respect to any other facts or circumstances.  Such conclusion is limited to the authority vested in the Office of the Special Master by Section 30.16(a)(3) of the Rule, and shall not constitute, or be construed to constitute, the judgment of the Office of the Special Master or the Department of the Treasury with respect to the compliance of the proposed compensation payments or structure or any other compensation payments or structure for the subject employee with any other provision of the Rule.  Moreover, my evaluation and conclusion with respect to this employee have relied upon, and are qualified in their entirety by, the accuracy of the materials submitted by AIG to the Office of the Special Master, and the absence of any material misstatement or omission in such materials.

 

 

Very truly yours,
