RISK FACTORS
The market value of the notes may be influenced by unpredictable factors.
The market value of your notes may fluctuate between the date you purchase them and the Maturity
Date. Several factors, many of which are beyond our control, will influence the market value of
the notes including::
|
|
supply and demand for the notes, including inventory positions held by any market maker; |
|
|
|
economic, financial, political and regulatory or judicial events that affect financial
markets generally; interest rates in the market generally; |
|
|
|
the time remaining to maturity; |
|
|
|
our right to redeem the notes; and |
|
|
|
our creditworthiness and credit ratings. |
We may exercise our right to redeem the notes prior to their scheduled maturity.
If we redeem the notes prior to their stated maturity date, you may be unable to invest in
securities with similar risk and yield as the notes and replacement investments may be more
expensive than your investment in the notes. Your ability to realize market value appreciation and
any interest is limited by our right to redeem the notes prior to their scheduled maturity.
Market factors may influence whether we exercise our right to redeem the notes prior to their
scheduled maturity.
It is more likely that we will redeem the notes prior to their Stated Maturity Date to the extent
that the interest rate in respect of the notes is greater than that for instruments of a comparable
maturity and credit rating trading in the market. If we redeem the notes prior to their Stated
Maturity Date, you may be unable to invest in securities with similar risk and yield as the notes
and replacement investments may be more expensive than your investment in the notes. Your ability
to realize market value appreciation and any interest is limited by our right to redeem the notes
prior to their scheduled maturity.
There may not be an active trading market in the notes and sales prior to maturity may result in
losses.
There may be little or no secondary market for the notes. We do not intend to list the notes on
any stock exchange or automated quotation system, and it is not possible to predict whether a
secondary market will develop for the notes. Even if a secondary market for the notes develops, it
may not provide significant liquidity or result in trading of notes at prices advantageous to you.
Sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses. Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
currently intends to act as market makers for the notes, but they are not required to do so, and
may stop doing so at any time. We expect there will be little or no liquidity in the notes. The
prices that may be offered in the secondary market for the notes will be discounted to reflect
hedging and other costs and, among other things, changes of and volatility in interest rates in the
market.
The inclusion of compensation and projected profits from hedging in the original issue price is
likely to adversely affect secondary market prices.
Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which
we, any of our affiliates or any market maker are willing to purchase the notes in secondary market
transactions will likely be lower, and may be materially lower, than the price at which we sold the
notes to the Agent. In addition, any such prices may differ from values determined by pricing
models used by us or any of our affiliates or any market maker as a result of dealer discounts,
mark-ups or other transactions.
We may have conflicts of interests arising from our relationships with the Calculation Agent.
You should be aware that AIG-FP, our subsidiary, in its capacity as Calculation Agent for the
notes, is under no obligation to take your interests into consideration in determining the
Reference Rate or the number of days on which interest will accrue, and is only required to act in
good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. AIG-FP as Calculation Agent will, among
other things, also determine the applicable Interest Rate payment to be made on the notes. Because
these determinations by the Calculation Agent will affect the interest payments and the payment at
maturity on the notes, conflicts of interest may arise in connection with its performance of its
role as Calculation Agent.
ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
The notes may not be purchased or held by any employee benefit plan or other plan or account that
is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) or Section
4975 of the Code (each, a plan), or by any entity whose underlying assets include plan assets
by reason of any plans investment in the entity (a plan asset entity), unless in each case the
purchaser or holder is eligible for exemptive relief from the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA
and Section 4975 of the Code under a prohibited transaction class exemption issued by the
Department of Labor or another applicable statutory or administrative exemption. Each purchaser or
holder of the notes will be deemed to represent that either (1) it is not a plan or plan asset
entity and is not purchasing the notes on behalf of or with plan assets or (2) with respect to the
purchase and holding, it is eligible for relief under a prohibited transaction class exemption or
other applicable statutory or administrative exemption from the prohibited transaction rules of
ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code. The foregoing supplements the discussion under ERISA
Considerations in the base prospectus dated July 24, 2006.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We intend to lend the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to our subsidiary AIG Financial
Products Corp. or certain of its subsidiaries for use for general corporate purposes.
CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
Notwithstanding that the final maturity of the notes is more than 30 years after the original issue
date, the discussion under United States Taxation in the accompanying prospectus supplement is
applicable to the notes. Because interest on the notes is not considered unconditionally payable
within the meaning of the applicable Treasury Regulations as a result of the existence Issuers
option to increase principal amount in lieu of the payment of interest, the notes will be treated
as having original issue discount (OID). Prospective investors should refer to the discussion
under United States Taxation in the accompanying prospectus supplement for more information on
OID and a discussion of the other material consequences of owning the notes. Subject to the more
detailed discussion in the prospectus supplement, investors (including investors that use the cash
receipts and disbursements method of accounting for tax purposes) will be required to include
amounts in income as OID notwithstanding the fact that such amounts are not paid but instead are
added to the notes principal amount.
The information in this Pricing Supplement, other than the information regarding the initial public
offering price, the net proceeds to the issuer, the identities of the initial purchasers or agents,
the information under Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences above, and the following two
paragraphs, will be incorporated by reference into the Global Security representing all the
Medium-Term Notes, Series AIG-FP.
