MOODY'S AFFIRMS Aaa SENIOR DEBT RATING OF AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.; REVISES OUTLOOK TO STABLE FROM NEGATIVE

19 May 2004
MOODY'S AFFIRMS Aaa SENIOR DEBT RATING OF AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.; REVISES OUTLOOK TO STABLE FROM NEGATIVE

New York, May 19, 2004 -- Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the Aaa senior unsecured debt rating of American International Group, Inc. (AIG), and has revised the outlook for the rating to stable from negative. At the same time, Moody's also revised the rating outlooks for various AIG supported operating subsidiaries (see below) to stable from negative.

AIG's rating outlook was changed to negative in February 2003, following a significant reserve charge taken at AIG's general insurance operations in the fourth quarter of 2002. The change also reflected Moody's concerns about the holding company's elevated leverage and weakened fixed charge coverage profile following the acquisition of American General Corporation in mid-2001, heightened sensitivity to liquidity-related issues at International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC), increased operational leverage at AIG's SunAmerica and Financial Products subsidiary operations, and increased volatility of AIG's commercial general insurance operations.

In affirming AIG's Aaa senior unsecured debt rating, Moody's noted that AIG continues to distinguish itself as the leading global insurance enterprise, in terms of business breadth, consolidated revenues and earnings, and market capitalization. The rating agency noted that the group maintains excellent market positions and franchise strength in each of its major business segments: US and international general insurance, life insurance and retirement services. Moody's also noted AIG's strong and stable earnings capacity -- in total and by business segment -- as well as its robust internal capital generation and its exceptional financial and business profile relative to other Aaa-rated financial and non-financial institutions. Moody's added that AIG's financial flexibility is supported by its substantial market capitalization, modest holding company leverage, very high fixed-charge coverage and favorable liquidity profile. The rating agency also noted that despite somewhat heightened earnings volatility in recent years, AIG's earnings have remained strong relative to peers, reflecting the group's substantial diversification of earnings. Moody's also noted that AIG has benefited to some degree from the dislocation of some of its insurance industry competitors as a result of a flight to quality among insurance buyers and intermediaries.

In restoring the stable outlook to AIG's ratings, Moody's noted the company's success in moderating its risk profile in a number of areas previously cited as concerns. These include the following:

1) restoration of holding company debt leverage and coverage measures to historical norms, and a strengthening of the holding company's alternative liquidity program to fund contingencies and possible stress-related short-term funding needs;

2) reduction of ILFC's liquidity risk through a reduction in short-term funding and improvement in the size and diversity of alternative funding sources to minimize reliance on parental support;

3) moderation in the growth rate of institutional funding business, primarily at SunAmerica, and associated liquidity risks; and

4) controlled growth and continued risk management discipline at AIG Financial Products.

Moody's noted that the rating affirmations and restoration of stable outlooks are based not only on the group's recent overall financial and business profile and progress on key metrics to date, but also on Moody's expectation that certain favorable trends currently underway will continue through 2004 and into 2005. Specifically, Moody's noted that the following expectations underlie the stable outlook:

1) continued modest holding company leverage profile and robust liquidity and coverage position, consistent with current levels (e.g. corporate debt to total capitalization of 10%-12%, fixed charge coverage in excess of 20x, and access to bank and inter-company liquidity facilities at a level greater than or equal to the holding company's and AIG Funding Inc.'s rolling 12-month short-term obligations).

2) improvement in risk-adjusted capital-adequacy measures at AIG's principal operating subsidiaries. Moody's believes that the risk-adjusted capitalization and liquidity position of AIG's general and life insurance operations improved significantly in 2003 over year-end 2002 levels. The rating agency further expects that these levels will continue to improve in 2004, remaining thereafter at a level consistent with or better than its Aa-rated insurance peers.

3) consistency in strategic focus and management of AIG's financial products operations, with a strong component of predictable, accrual-based earnings, risk management discipline and long-term incentive compensation structure to support stability in earnings and internal growth. The rating agency expects that AIG Financial Products will maintain a capitalization and liquidity profile consistent with its recent past.

4) a continued strategic emphasis on the group's global general and life insurance franchises, and management of growth at financial services operations to limit these over time to a contribution of no more than 20% of total enterprise-wide earnings and risk-based capital allocation.
