Item 9B. Other Information

On February 16, 2021, the Compensation and Management Resources Committee of the Board of Directors approved the amendment and restatement of each of the AIG 2012 Executive Severance Plan, effective February 16, 2021 (the ESP), the AIG Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended and restated February 16, 2021) (the LTIP) and the AIG Amended and Restated Non-Qualified Retirement Income Plan (as amended and restated February 16, 2021) (the NQRIP).

With respect to the ESP, the amendments provide for (i) no adverse amendments or termination of the ESP for 24 months following a Change in Control (as defined in the ESP), along with other ongoing procedural enforcement and reimbursement protections and (ii) in the event of a participant’s involuntary termination without cause or resignation for Good Reason within 24 months following a Change in Control, (a) an expanded definition of a Good Reason resignation in the event of certain changes to the terms and conditions of a participant’s employment; (b) a best net cutback provision for participants eligible to receive payments under the ESP that could be subject to certain excise taxes; (c) a revised cash severance calculation to include in the formula the better of a participant’s target short-term incentive award for the year of termination or the average short-term incentive award paid over the preceding 3-year period; and (d) with respect to the short-term incentive amount payable in the year of termination, an enhanced proration formula, as well as an adjustment to the calculation of the payment amount equal to the greater of actual performance and target. With respect to a termination other than in connection with a Change in Control, the amendments also reflect that business unit performance for purposes of the current year short-term incentive award calculation will be determined by the Chief Executive Officer, provided, however that the Compensation Committee will continue to calculate business unit performance with respect to the Chief Executive Officer’s leadership team. Finally, the amendments include updates to the model release in Exhibit A of the ESP to reflect recent changes in employment law.

With respect to the LTIP, the amendments provide for (i) no adverse amendments or termination of the LTIP for 24 months following a Change in Control (as defined in the LTIP), along with other ongoing procedural enforcement and reimbursement protections (ii) the addition of a Good Reason resignation trigger in the event of certain changes to the terms and conditions of a participant’s employment within 24 months following a Change in Control; and (iii) in the event of a participant’s involuntary termination without cause or resignation for Good Reason within 24 months following a Change in Control or a participant’s voluntary retirement not in connection with a Change in Control, an extension of stock option exercisability for the remaining life of the option.

With respect to the NQRIP, the amendments provide that upon a upon a Change in Control (as defined in the NQRIP) (i) all accrued benefits of participants under the NQRIP will immediately vest and (ii) an irrevocable Rabbi Trust, a grantor trust within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, will be fully funded covering all obligations under the NQRIP.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to copies of the ESP, the LTIP, and the NQRIP, which are attached to this Annual Report on Form 10-K as Exhibits 10.35, 10.36 and 10.37, respectively.
