Section 5 — Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.03   Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On May 11, 2011, American International Group, Inc. (AIG) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. A copy of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 5.03 by reference.
Item 5.07.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On May 11, 2011, AIG held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders at which the shareholders voted upon (i) the election of fourteen nominees as directors by the holders of AIG’s common stock, par value $2.50 per share (AIG Common Stock), for a one-year term; (ii) a non-binding shareholder resolution to approve executive compensation; (iii) a proposal to amend AIG’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to restrict certain transfers of AIG Common Stock in order to protect AIG’s tax attributes; (iv) a proposal to ratify the American International Group, Inc. Tax Asset Protection Plan; (v) the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as AIG’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2011; and (vi) a shareholder proposal relating to restricting hedging transactions.
The shareholders elected all fourteen director nominees, approved the non-binding shareholder resolution to approve executive compensation, approved the proposal to amend AIG’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to restrict certain transfers of AIG Common Stock in order to protect AIG’s tax attributes, ratified the American International Group, Inc. Tax Asset Protection Plan, and approved the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as AIG’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2011. The shareholder proposal did not receive the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of AIG Common Stock, and, as a result, was not approved. The number of votes cast for or against and the number of abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to each matter voted upon, as applicable, are set forth below.
