3 AIG - Code of Conduct
A Message from Our Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Dear colleagues,
Operating with ethics and integrity is a primary focus of everything we do at AIG, which is why our Code of Conduct is critically important. Always doing the right thing and maintaining a safe environment for colleagues to raise concerns is paramount to earning and preserving the trust of our stakeholders.
AIG's Purpose and Values statement guides how we act as a company and as individuals. At its core, the statement is centered around Discovering New Potential and Reimagining what AIG can do for you. Our Values-Win Together, Take Ownership, Set the Standard, Do What's Right and Be an Ally-set clear expectations for what it means to work at AIG and encourage the behaviors required to drive change and long-term success.
The AIG Code of Conduct outlines standards and policies that apply to all colleagues and provides guidelines about how we work with each other, as well as with our customers, distribution partners, regulators and other stakeholders.
This Code, along with your very good judgment and decision making, will guide your actions.
As we work to create the AIG of the future, thank you for your commitment to upholding our Values and the highest levels of ethics and integrity.
Peter Zaffino
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
A Message from Our Global Chief Compliance Officer
Dear colleagues,
The AIG Code of Conduct contains the rules and guidelines that each of us should keep in mind as we engage in our daily activities.
The Code of Conduct reflects AIG's Purpose and Values and outlines the laws and regulations by which we as a corporation are governed. By complying with these standards, we uphold AIG's reputation for transparency and foster a culture of ethics and integrity.
This Code of Conduct is designed to help you do what's right. While it provides guidance for most situations, it is not an all-encompassing resource. If you have questions related to a specific situation, business or corporate group that may be unclear, please reach out to your manager,
HR business partner or Compliance Officer. Also, please speak up if you notice something that does not appear to align with the principles outlined in the Code.
Thank you for continuing to uphold AIG's strong culture of excellence and for your continued adherence with AIG's Code of Conduct. Our efforts create trust and give our customers, distribution partners, regulators, and other stakeholders confidence in the strength and reliability of AIG.
Karen J. Nelson
Senior Vice President
Global Chief Compliance Officer
4 AIG - Code of Conduct
Delivering on Our Commitments
At the core of AIG's business is a promise that we will stand behind our products and services. Personal and organizational integrity are critical to delivering on this promise and protecting our reputation.
Delivering on our commitments is vitally important to our employees, customers, distribution and other business partners, regulators, shareholders, and the communities in which we live and do business.
5 AIG - Code of Conduct
Delivering on Our Commitments
Why Do We Have a Code?
The AIG Code of Conduct (the "Code") provides ethical guidelines for conducting business across AIG. The Code is a resource for all AIG officers and emplyees. This Code cannot address every issue that we may encounter, but it does provide guidance and resources for those times when the right choice is not clear. Additional information, including relevant rules and policies, may be found in links throughout this document as well as in our corporate policies.
This Code is organized based on the commitments we deliver to each of the following groups:
•
Our fellow employees trust us to value and respect them.
•
Our customers and our distribution and business partners
trust our integrity.
•
Our regulators expect us to be transparent and act
with integrity.
•
Our shareholders trust our stewardship.
•
Communities around the world rely on us to be responsible
corporate citizens.
To Whom Does the Code Apply?
The Code applies to all AIG officers and employees. Certain AIG business partners, such as agents and consultants, who represent AIG to the public are also expected to adhere to the intent of the Code, as well as to applicable provisions of the AIG Third Party Code of Conduct, the AIG Supplier Code of Conduct and any contractual commitments, when working on behalf of AIG companies.
AIG is a large organization, and yet we are united by our commitment to deliver on our promises. Each of us has a responsibility to earn and uphold the trust that is placed in us.
The most current version of the Code can be accessed on AIG's Corporate Governancewebsite. The Code may be amended from time to time; such amendments will become effective immediately upon posting.

Q&A
Asking Questions and Raising Concerns
Q: What happens when I make a report to the AIG Compliance Help Line?
A: After taking the call, an outside service provider will forward a report to AIG's Global Compliance Group. If the report is submitted online, the outside service provider will send the report directly to the Global Compliance Group.
1. If you request advice, you will be contacted about the issue and provided with guidance and interpretation so that you can make the right decision.
2. If you want to report a suspected violation, the outside service provider will take down any relevant information and will forward a report to the Global Compliance Group. Any reports regarding questionable accounting, internal accounting controls, and auditing matters will be reviewed with representatives of the Global Investigations Group and then, if necessary, reported to the Audit Committee of the AIG Board of Directors.
3. If the matter would be more appropriately addressed by another internal organization within AIG (e.g., Legal, Internal Audit, Global Security or Human Resources), the Global Compliance Group may send the report to that organization for handling.
Q:
A: AIG encourages employees making reports to identify themselves so that the information can be investigated promptly and thoroughly. Our ability to directly contact an employee who has raised a concern will expedite any investigation. However, subject to local law or labor agreement, you may choose to remain anonymous when reporting a matter to the AIG Compliance Help Line.
Q:
A: Every reasonable effort will be made, consistent with law and AIG policy, to maintain the confidentiality of any employee who reports a violation or suspected violation in good faith. AIG prohibits retaliation against any employee for making a good faith report of actual or suspected violations of this Code, other AIG policy, or applicable laws or regulations. Violation of this non-retaliation policy may result in corrective action, up to and including termination.

Non-Retaliation Policy
AIG prohibits retaliation against any employee for making a good faith report of actual or suspected violations of this Code, other AIG policy, or applicable laws or regulations, and violation of this non-retaliation policy may result in corrective action, up to and including termination.
Corrective Action
Violating this Code, other AIG policy, or applicable laws or regulations, or encouraging others to do so, puts AIG's reputation at risk and therefore may result in corrective action. Failing to promptly report known violations by others also may be a violation of this Code. Corrective action may include coaching, verbal or written warning, termination of employment and loss of employment-related benefits.
Waivers of the Code
From time to time, AIG may amend or waive certain provisions of this Code. Any employee who believes that a waiver may be appropriate should discuss the matter with their designated compliance officer. Only the AIG Board of Directors or its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may grant a waiver of a specific provision of the Code for an executive officer of AIG.
