Section 5 — Corporate Governance and Management

 

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 6, 2012, the Office of the Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation issued a Determination Memorandum to American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) with respect to AIG’s compensation of its top twenty-five most highly compensated employees (the “Covered Employees”), including named executive officers Robert H. Benmosche, Peter D. Hancock, David L. Herzog, William N. Dooley and Jay S. Wintrob.

The Determination Memorandum sets annual cash salary levels for the Covered Employees effective January 1, 2012, including cash salary levels for Messrs. Benmosche, Hancock, Herzog, Dooley and Wintrob of $3,000,000, $1,800,000, $495,000, $450,000 and $495,000, respectively. The Determination Memorandum also sets annual stock salary levels for the Covered Employees, to be granted in the form of immediately vested AIG restricted common stock or restricted stock units reflecting the value of AIG common stock. The Determination Memorandum sets annual stock salary levels for Messrs. Benmosche, Hancock, Herzog, Dooley and Wintrob of $7,500,000, $5,200,000, $4,734,000, $5,550,000 and $5,315,000, respectively. Stock salary will be subject to transfer or payment restrictions over a multi-year period. For Mr. Benmosche, restrictions will lapse on the fifth anniversary of the date of hire, and for Messrs. Hancock, Herzog, Dooley and Wintrob, the restrictions will lapse on one-third of the stock salary each year, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

Some of the Covered Employees are also eligible under the Determination Memorandum to receive 2012 annual long-term incentive awards payable in long-term restricted stock if they achieve performance goals for 2012 and the grants are determined appropriate at that time in light of AIG’s overall circumstances. The Determination Memorandum provides that Messrs. Hancock, Herzog and Wintrob are eligible for awards of up to $1,000,000, $1,071,000 and $1,190,000, respectively. Because Mr. Benmosche may retire before the end of the minimum two-year vesting period required by regulation for any long-term restricted stock he would earn for 2012, the Special Master revised Mr. Benmosche’s compensation structure at AIG’s request to keep his total annual direct compensation opportunity constant but to substitute stock salary for his long-term restricted stock award opportunity. A similar request was made by AIG and approved by the Special Master for Mr. Dooley.

The Determination Memorandum is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference.
