MOODY'S CONFIRMS AIG's Aaa LONG-TERM DEBT RATINGS AND CHANGES OUTLOOK TO NEGATIVE; REVIEWS Aaa RATINGS OF U.S. GENERAL INSURANCE SUBSIDIARIES FOR POSSIBLE DOWNGRADE

04 Feb 2003
MOODY'S CONFIRMS AIG's Aaa LONG-TERM DEBT RATINGS AND CHANGES OUTLOOK TO NEGATIVE; REVIEWS Aaa RATINGS OF U.S. GENERAL INSURANCE SUBSIDIARIES FOR POSSIBLE DOWNGRADE

New York, February 04, 2003 -- Moody's Investors Service confirmed its Aaa ratings on the holding company's long-term debt, but changed the outlook on the ratings to negative from stable. The outlook change also applies to the Aaa-rated long-term debt of AIG's supported subsidiaries -- including AIG Financial Products and American General Corporation -- as well as the Aaa insurance financial strength ratings of the SunAmerica Life Insurance Companies and debt backed by institutional funding agreements issued by AIG SunAmerica. The Aaa insurance financial strength ratings on members of AIG's domestic brokerage group and of its United Guaranty mortgage insurance subsidiaries have been placed under review for possible downgrade. Ratings confirmed with stable outlook include AIG Funding Inc.'s and AIG Financial Products Corporation's Prime-1 short-term ratings, as well as the ratings of International Lease Finance (A1/P-1, stable outlook), American General Finance (A1/P-1, stable outlook). Moody's statement follows an announcement by American International Group, Inc. last evening that it would take a fourth quarter 2002 pre-tax charge of $2.8 billion net of ceded reinsurance ($3.5 billion gross of reinsurance) for reserve additions to support commercial insurance coverages written in recent years by its U.S. Domestic Brokerage Group ("DBG"). A listing of Moody's ratings and outlooks is found below. Moody's is also reviewing whether the rating reviews and outlook changes could affect other securities, including structured financings.

According to Moody's, the rating confirmation of the Aaa senior debt ratings of AIG, Inc. and its supported subsidiaries reflects AIG's continued salient strengths, including the strength and diversity of its earnings, cash flow and risk profile, and its ability to absorb large losses without a significant impact upon its capital, its historically modest use of financial leverage in its capital structure, and the intrinsic credit strength and sound capitalization of its principal subsidiary operations. The shift to a negative outlook for these ratings, however, reflects several factors: the magnitude of the announced charge together with potential future reserve-related charges in relation to the consolidated group's earnings; and incremental pressure placed on the parent's ratings of adverse financial developments at DBG.

Moody's noted that earnings strength and consistency, together with a solid capital position and tight controls on expenses and cash management have long-been hallmarks of AIG, and have continued to support its Aaa rating. The rating agency said, however, that it will consider the parent company's continued progress in reducing its leverage profile following the American General acquisition in 2001, and the intrinsic strength of AIG's major subsidiary operations. Moody's pointed out that the negative outlook does not constitute a rating change, but rather signals the rating agency's opinion that there is now an elevated possibility of a negative rating action over the near-to-medium term.

In its rating review of AIG's domestic commercial insurance group, Moody's will reflect on whether the extreme cyclicality of the commercial insurance business - as highlighted both by the magnitude of this reserve charge and the dramatic firming of the current pricing environment, together with its susceptibility to litigation uncertainties - makes it inconsistent with the characteristics of a Aaa rating. During the review, Moody's will consider AIG's potential exposure to further adverse claim trends in both active lines and asbestos-related liabilities, as well as on recent claim trends in the D&O and excess liability segments. Additionally, the rating agency noted that it would consider the beneficial effect of recent premium rate level changes and tightened contractual terms and conditions affecting these and other business lines, which should both contribute to stronger earnings and cash flow, and on the sustainability of these trends.

With respect to the review for possible downgrade of the insurance financial strength ratings of the United Guaranty mortgage insurance subsidiaries, Moody's noted that the ratings on these entities are based in part upon reinsurance support from a DBG affiliate -- National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA -- whose Aaa insurance financial strength rating is now under review. The shift to a negative outlook on American Life Insurance Company and American International Assurance Company (Bermuda) Ltd. reflects Moody's view that these ratings are heavily influenced by the parent company's credit profile.

National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA - insurance financial strength at Aaa;

American Home Assurance Company - insurance financial strength at Aaa;
