RISK FACTORS
A decision to participate in the Amended and Restated Registered
Representatives Deferred Compensation Plan (referred to as
the plan) involves certain risks. You should carefully consider
the following information, as well as the other information
included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, in
considering whether to participate in the plan.
|
|
(1) |
The valuation funds selected by you may go down in value, and
you could lose your deferred compensation. |
The value of your deferred compensation is indexed to the
performance of the valuation funds selected by you. The
valuation funds may go up or down in value, and the value of
your deferred compensation will correspondingly increase or
decrease. As a result, you may lose your entire investment in
the plan.
Although you may decrease your deferred election to zero, this
will not eliminate your market risk with respect to amounts
previously deferred. Accordingly, the amount of compensation
that you have already deferred will continue to increase or
decrease corresponding to your valuation fund selections until
your accounts are paid out in full.
Your accounts may not be paid out for an extended period of
time, as described under Description of Deferred
Compensation Obligations Payment of Earnings.
Other than with respect to interest the plan does not guarantee
a minimum rate of return. For a description of interest paid on
your deferred earnings, see Description of Deferred
Compensation Obligations Interest.
|
|
(2) |
Neither SAI Holdings nor AIG will recommend any valuation
funds; you may choose a fund that is not suitable for you. |
You may index your deferred compensation to a number of
valuation funds as described under Description of Deferred
Compensation Obligations The Deferred
Earnings. Neither AIG nor SAI Holdings makes any
recommendation as to which valuation funds you should select or
how much deferred compensation you should index to any
particular valuation fund. You must do your own analysis of the
risks and benefits of selecting a particular valuation fund. You
also must determine which valuation funds are a suitable
investment for you based on your investment and other
objectives. You are encouraged to carefully review the
prospectus relating to each valuation fund that you select. You
may select a valuation fund that is inappropriate for your
investment objectives and you may lose, or not maximize the
return on, your deferred compensation.
|
|
(3) |
You do not own the valuation funds which you have selected;
receiving a payout of deferred compensation depends on whether
AIG or SAI Holdings has the funds to pay you. |
Your deferred compensation is indexed to the value of the
valuation funds selected by you. Your deferred compensation is
not invested in the funds by SAI Holdings or AIG on your behalf.
Your sole recourse for repayment under the plan is to SAI
Holdings, as the issuer of the plan, and AIG as the guarantor.
Your ability to receive your deferred compensation depends
entirely on whether SAI Holdings or AIG has the funds to pay you
on the designated payment date.
|
|
(4) |
SAI Holdings or AIG could engage in hedging transactions that
adversely affect the value of the underlying valuation funds. |
The plan does not require AIG or SAI Holdings to hedge their
exposure under the plan by purchasing interests in the valuation
funds. However, AIG and SAI Holdings may hedge their exposure
under the plan through purchasing or selling interests in the
underlying valuation funds, or purchasing or selling derivative
or other instruments relating to the funds. You do not have any
interest in the profits or losses arising from these hedging
activities, and AIG or SAI Holdings may profit from these
activities while the value of your deferred compensation may
decline. These activities may adversely affect the value of the
underlying valuation funds.

DESCRIPTION OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION OBLIGATIONS
Purpose of Plan
In connection with the acquisition of SunAmerica Inc. by AIG,
SAI Holdings has assumed SunAmericas obligations under the
plan. AIG has guaranteed SAI Holdingss payment obligations.
The purpose of the plan is to:
|
|
|
|
|
Attract and retain individuals to become licensed with eligible
broker/dealer subsidiaries of AIG to market the financial
products offered for sale by those broker/dealer subsidiaries.
The eligible broker/dealer subsidiaries are listed in the box
below. |
|
|
|
Assist in the representatives long range financial
planning by offering an alternative for investing monthly
commission and fee payments on a tax-deferred basis. |
Participation
Your enrollment in the plan is voluntary. You will be eligible
to participate in the plan on the first day of any month after
you have been licensed with any of the broker/dealer
subsidiaries listed in the box below or any additional
broker/dealer subsidiaries added to the plan by SAI Holdings for
three full months. Earlier
3
participation may be permitted by the President of the relevant
broker/dealer subsidiary. Once you become eligible to
participate, you will remain eligible to participate in the plan
until it is amended or, in the case of any particular enrollment
period, until the occurrence of a termination event.
So long as you are eligible to participate in the plan, you may
re-enroll in the plan after the occurrence of a termination
event with respect to a particular enrollment period. If you
re-enroll in the plan, SAI Holdings will establish and maintain
a distinct and separate account, comprised of a fund account and
an interest account, for you for each enrollment period. Each
new account established under the plan will be treated in the
same manner as all previously established accounts.
Eligible Broker/Dealer Subsidiaries of AIG
Advantage Capital Corporation
Royal Alliance Associates Inc.
SunAmerica Securities, Inc.
FSC Securities Corporation
Spelman & Co., Inc.
Sentra Securities Corporation
The Deferred Earnings
Under the plan, for each enrollment period, you will be offered
an opportunity to enter into an agreement for the deferral of a
percentage of your fees and commissions by your broker/dealer
subsidiary. For each enrollment period, you will execute a
deferred compensation agreement and an enrollment/change form
which will set forth your obligations and
SAI Holdingss obligations under the plan.
SAI Holdings obligations to make payments under the plan
will not be secured by any of SAI Holdingss property
or assets. Accordingly, if you participate in the plan you will
be one of SAI Holdingss unsecured creditors.
SAI Holdingss obligation to make payments under the
plan will rank equally with all other unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of SAI Holdings.
Holders of secured obligations of SAI Holdings will, however,
have claims that are prior to your claims under the plan with
respect to the assets securing those other obligations.
For each enrollment period, you may elect to defer from 1% to
100% of your fees and commissions. You may make changes to the
amount of your earnings to be deferred for each enrollment
period. The change will not take effect until the beginning of
the next calendar year and must remain in effect for one full
calendar year.
For each enrollment period, two deferral accounts will be
created for you. The fund account will be for the purpose of
determining the value of your deferred earnings with respect to
such enrollment period. The interest account will be for the
purpose of keeping track of the interest earned on your deferred
earnings with respect to such enrollment period. Your deferred
earnings with respect to each enrollment period will be credited
to your accounts within three business days of the date the
earnings otherwise would have been paid.
Earnings in the fund account with respect to each enrollment
period will be indexed to one or more investment options
selected by you from a list of available valuation funds. The
value of each of your fund accounts will be adjusted to reflect
the investment experience of the valuation funds selected by
you, and you will receive a statement of your accounts on a
semi-annual basis. The fund account with respect to each
enrollment period will be adjusted for both positive and
negative investment experience. You may change the valuation
funds used to measure the value of your fund account with
respect to an enrollment period once per business day. Because
the value of the fund account and therefore the deferred
earnings will vary with the investment experience of the
valuation funds selected by you, participation in the plan
entails investment risk which will be
4
borne solely by you. Neither AIG nor SAI Holdings makes any
representation as to the investment performance of any valuation
fund.
You may choose one or more than one of the following retail
mutual funds and investment portfolios as an index for your
deferred earnings:

SAI Holdings reserves the right to terminate the availability of
any valuation fund and add additional valuation funds at any
time.
You do not have any right, title or interest in or to any funds
in the accounts. All funds in the accounts are funds of SAI
Holdings.
You may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or encumber your
interest in the plan, except by the laws of descent and
distribution, but you may assign your interest in the plan to a
revocable living trust set up by you. In general, a revocable
living trust is a trust created by an individual in the
individuals lifetime to hold some or all of the
individuals assets. The trust may be revoked by the
individual at any time. If the trust is not revoked, it controls
the disposition of the trust assets at the individuals
death.
The obligation of SAI Holdings to pay you the value of your
accounts is not convertible into any other security of SAI
Holdings or AIG. The plan does not contain any restriction on
the business of SAI Holdings or AIG. Neither the plan nor the
guarantee contains any provision limiting or preventing AIG from
entering into a merger, consolidation or other business
combination or effecting a restructuring.
Interest
The amount of your initially deferred earnings will bear
interest at 2.75% per annum. SAI Holdings reserves the
right to change the interest rate from time to time. Interest
will accrue on the initial amount of deferred earnings with
respect to each enrollment period and not on the value of your
fund account with respect to such enrollment period. Interest
will be calculated on the basis of a year of twelve-30 day
months.
The amounts payable under your interest account with respect to
each enrollment period may be subtracted from the amounts
payable under your fund account with respect to such enrollment
period as discussed below under Payment of Earnings.
Payment of Earnings
Your accounts with respect to each enrollment period are not
subject to redemption, in whole or in part, prior to the payment
date selected by you with respect to such enrollment period,
except upon the occurrence of any of the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Termination of your independent contractor relationship with the
broker/ dealer subsidiary for whom you work for any reason |
|
|
|
Your death |
|
|
|
Your permanent disability |
8
|
|
|
|
|
Your ceasing to be registered as a broker with any regulatory
authority. |
In any of these termination events, your accounts will be valued
for lump sum payment or the first installment payment on the
last business day that the U.S. financial markets are open
of the calendar month at least thirty days after the occurrence
of one of these termination events, except that:
|
|
|
|
|
If you die, your accounts will be valued on the day the
broker-dealer subsidiary for whom you work receives proof of
your death |
|
|
|
If you accept employment or establish a contractual relationship
with a competitor of AIG or any broker/dealer subsidiary of AIG,
your accounts will be valued on the day the broker-dealer
subsidiary for whom you work learns of your new employment or
contractual relationship. |
You will receive your initial payment within 60 days of
your accounts being valued.
Your accounts will be valued for installment payments other than
the initial payment on the last business day that the
U.S. financial markets are open of the year preceding the
payment.
Other than the initial payment, you will receive your
installment payments within the first four weeks of each
calendar year in which you are due to receive a payment.
Your accounts with respect to each enrollment period will be
paid out in ten annual installments unless you select an
optional distribution date for such enrollment period. You may
select an optional distribution date for a particular enrollment
period either at the time of the commencement of that enrollment
period or prior to December 31 of any year. If an optional
distribution date is selected other than at the time of the
commencement of an enrollment period, the optional distribution
date will become effective on the immediately succeeding January
1. No such optional distribution date may be earlier than the
first day of the calendar quarter that is at least four years
after the commencement of the enrollment period. A previously
selected optional distribution date may be changed by completing
the required paperwork by December 31 of any year;
provided, however, that such change must occur before January 1
of the year before the year in which the current optional
distribution date for that enrollment period falls. For example,
if a payment date is due in July of 2008, you must elect to
change that date by December 31, 2006.
Your accounts will be paid out in a lump sum if any of the
following occurs:
|
|
|
|
|
Your relationship with the broker/dealer subsidiary is terminated |
|
|
|
You accept employment or establish a contractual relationship
with a competitor of AIG or any broker-dealer subsidiary of AIG |
|
|
|
You die |
|
|
|
The value of your accounts is $3500 or less on a termination
valuation date after an event giving rise to the right of
distribution occurs. |
In each of these events you will be paid within 60 days of
your accounts being valued.
You may designate a beneficiary to receive distributions from
your accounts in the event of your death.
The amount to be paid under the plan on any payment date with
respect to a particular enrollment period will equal the sum of:
|
|
|
|
|
The amount in your fund account with respect to such enrollment
period relating to the payment |
plus
|
|
|
|
|
The amount in your interest account with respect to such
enrollment period, relating to the payment |
less
|
|
|
|
|
An amount equal to any appreciation in your fund account with
respect to such enrollment period, up to the amount of interest
accrued in your interest account with respect to the enrollment
period relating to the payment, but no more than the amount of
the appreciation. |
9
The basic effect of this equation is to ensure a minimum rate of
return on any initially deferred compensation after
January 1, 1999. If your fund account with respect to a
particular enrollment period has not appreciated, then AIG or
SAI Holdings will supply the funds for your guaranteed return
represented by the amount in the interest account with respect
to such enrollment period. If your fund account with respect to
such enrollment period has appreciated, then you will only
receive that appreciation which exceeds the minimum return, in
addition to the amount in your interest account with respect to
such enrollment period.
Taxes and Withholdings
Any payment under the plan will be subject to withholding of all
applicable taxes. If SAI Holdings or AIG should become obligated
to make a tax payment with respect to your account, SAI Holdings
and AIG will have the right to pay on your behalf.
SAI Holdings and AIG will have the right to deduct any
obligation of yours owing to them or any broker/ dealer
subsidiary from amounts owing to you under the plan.
Amendment and Termination
SAI Holdings may amend or terminate the plan at any time, with
or without notice. However, no amendment or termination may
reduce the amounts credited to your accounts. Upon termination
of the plan, your accounts will be paid out in a manner
specified by the management committee administering the plan.
Administration
A management committee will be created to administer the plan.
The committee will be comprised of any five officers of AIG or
any subsidiary of AIG as selected by any of the following:
|
|
|
|
|
The Chairman of AIG |
|
|
|
The President of AIG |
|
|
|
Any Vice Chairman of AIG. |
The committee will interpret and administer the plan and the
agreements. The committees interpretations and
constructions of the plan and the agreements will be binding and
conclusive on you, SAI Holdings and AIG.
DESCRIPTION OF GUARANTEE
The deferred compensation obligations of SAI Holdings will be
guaranteed by AIG. If SAI Holdings does not pay your deferred
compensation, AIG is obligated to pay your deferred
compensation. AIGs guarantee is full and unconditional
which means that there are no circumstances under which SAI
Holdings would be required, but AIG would not be required, to
pay you and there are no conditions to AIGs payment
obligation beyond SAI Holdingss failure to pay.
AIGs obligations to make payments under the guarantee will
not be secured by any of AIGs property or assets.
Accordingly, you will be one of AIGs unsecured creditors.
AIGs obligations under the guarantee will rank equally
with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of AIG.
Holders of secured obligations of AIG will, however, have claims
that are prior to your claims under the guarantee with respect
to the assets securing those other obligations.
You may enforce AIGs obligation directly against AIG, and
AIG waives any right or remedy to require that any action be
brought against SAI Holdings or any other person or entity
before proceeding against AIG. AIGs obligation will not be
discharged except by payment of the guarantee in full.
Under the guarantee, upon AIGs payment of all of the
deferred compensation obligations owing to you, AIG shall be
substituted in your place as a creditor of SAI Holdings. The
guarantee provides that you will agree to take steps to meet
reasonable requests by AIG to implement its rights as a creditor.
10
The guarantee does not include any covenant or restriction on
the business of AIG. In particular, the guarantee does not
contain any provision that limits or prevents AIG from entering
into a merger, consolidation or other business combination or to
effect a restructuring.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
This section describes the material federal income tax
consequences of participating in the plan and is the opinion of
Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, counsel to SAI Holdings. This
section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed
regulations under the Internal Revenue Code, published rulings
and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These laws are
subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. You may also
be subject to foreign, state, local and other taxes, the
consequences of which are not discussed here, in the
jurisdiction in which you work and/or reside. Please consult
your own tax advisor concerning the federal, state, local and
other tax consequences of participating in the plan in light of
your particular circumstances.
You should not be subject to federal income tax at the time you
defer earnings under the plan, and you should not be subject to
tax on any amounts credited to your plan accounts until those
amounts are distributed or otherwise made available to you. You
should realize taxable compensation income in an amount equal to
any amount distributed to you, including any appreciation in
your fund account, and you should be subject to self-employment
taxes on the amounts distributed to you. The payout schedule
elected by you may affect the aggregate amount of taxes
(including self-employment taxes) payable on the distributed
amounts. You should consult with our own tax advisor as to the
effect of selecting a particular payout schedule. See
Description of Deferred Compensation
Obligations Payment of Earnings. SAI Holdings
generally should be entitled to a tax deduction for any amounts
distributed under the plan at the time of distribution.
You should be aware that your deferrals under the plan may be
subject to new Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code,
which generally governs the taxation of non-qualified deferred
compensation. Failure to comply with Section 409A could
subject you to additional tax and interest. Final regulations
have not yet been promulgated under new Section 409A.
Pending the issuance of final regulations or other applicable
guidance, SAI Holdings has relied (in 2005 and 2006) upon a
reasonable and good faith interpretation that Section 409A
does not apply to the plan under the standards set forth in
Internal Revenue Service
Notice 2005-1,
Q&A-8
(2005-2
I.R.B. 274) with respect to independent contractors.
However, if it is ultimately determined that the plan is subject
to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, certain
provisions of the plan will need to be amended and may need to
be modified in practice in advance of such amendments.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The deferred compensation obligations and related guarantee will
be offered by each broker/dealer subsidiary of AIG listed under
Description of Deferred Compensation
Obligations Participation to its eligible
employees. No agents, underwriters or dealers will be used in
connection with such offering.
VALIDITY OF THE SECURITIES
The validity of the deferred compensation obligations will be
passed upon for SAI Holdings by Sullivan & Cromwell
LLP, Los Angeles, California. Partners of Sullivan &
Cromwell LLP involved in the representation of AIG beneficially
own approximately 11,360 shares of AIG common stock. The
validity of the guarantee will be passed upon by Kathleen E.
Shannon, Esq., Senior Vice President, Secretary and Deputy
General Counsel of AIG. Ms. Shannon is regularly employed
by AIG, participates in various AIG employee benefit plans under
which she may receive shares of AIG common stock and currently
beneficially owns less than 1% of the outstanding shares of AIG
common stock.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING PROJECTIONS AND OTHER
INFORMATION ABOUT FUTURE EVENTS
This prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by
reference, as well as other publicly available documents, may
include, and AIGs officers and representatives may from
time to time make, projections concerning financial information
and statements concerning future economic performance and
events, plans and objectives relating to management, operations,
products and services, and assumptions underlying these
projections and statements. These projections and statements are
not historical facts but instead represent only AIGs
belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature,
are inherently uncertain and outside AIGs control. These
projections and statements may address, among other things, the
status and potential future outcome of the current regulatory
and civil proceedings against AIG and their potential effect on
AIGs businesses, financial position, results of
operations, cash flows and liquidity, the effect of the credit
rating downgrades on AIGs businesses and competitive
position, the unwinding and resolving of various relationships
between AIG and C.V. Starr & Co., Inc. and Starr
International Company, Inc. and AIGs strategy for growth,
product development, market position, financial results and
reserves. It is possible that AIGs actual results and
financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from the
anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these
projections and statements. Factors that could cause AIGs
actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those in the
specific projections and statements are discussed throughout
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations in Item 7, Part II, of
AIGs Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2005 and Risk Factors in Item 1A.,

March 31, 2006. AIG is not under any obligation (and
expressly disclaims any such obligations) to update or alter any
projection or other statement, whether written or oral, that may
be made from time to time, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
