Dear Seraina,

We are pleased to confirm the terms of your joining American International
Group, Inc. (“AIG” or the “Company”):

 

  •   Start Date. Your start date will be on or about July 12, 2017 (your “Start
Date”).

 

  •   Position. You will serve as Executive Vice President, a grade 30 position.
In this capacity, you will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of AIG
(the “CEO”) and be a member of the AIG Executive Leadership Team. For the
avoidance of doubt, you will be appointed an officer of AIG by AIG’s Board of
Directors at its July 12, 2017 meeting and will not be an officer of AIG until
such time.

 

  •   Location & Employer. You will be based in New York, NY and employed
directly by AIG Employee Services, Inc. (your “Employer”).

 

  •   Total Direct Compensation. Your initial annual target direct compensation
will be US $3,500,000, as follows:

 

  •   Base Salary. Your initial base cash salary will be at a rate of US
$875,000 per year.

 

  •   Short Term Incentive. Your initial annual incentive target will be
US $1,225,000.

Annual incentives are currently determined and paid in accordance with AIG’s
Short-Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”). For 2017, your Short-Term Incentive (“STI”)
award will be based on a combination of individual-based performance metrics,
which the CEO will establish with you subject to approval and ratification by
the Compensation

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and Management Resources Committee of the Board of Directors (the “CMRC”), and
Company-based performance metrics. Your individual award can range between 0
–200% of your STI target and will be made at the discretion of the Company
subject to approval and ratification by the CMRC. Your STI award is contingent
on your being an active employee on the date grants determinations are made and
will be subject to the terms and conditions of the STIP as in effect from time
to time.

For 2017, your STI award will not be prorated and will be payable when STI
awards are regularly paid to similarly-situated active employees. You will not
receive an annual bonus or other short-term annual incentive award for 2017
under any plan maintained by Hamilton U.S. Holdings, Inc. or any of its
affiliates.

 

  •   Long Term Incentive. As soon as practicable following your Start Date, a
recommendation on your behalf will be made to the CMRC that, under the AIG Long
Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), you be granted a Long Term Incentive (“LTI”)
award with a target value of US $650,000 for 2017 (your “2017 LTI Award”). This
recommendation and grant is contingent on your being an active employee of the
Company on the date of CMRC approval of the grant and will be subject to the
terms and conditions of the relevant LTIP and the award agreement governing the
grant.

Your 2017 LTI Award will consist of 70% Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) and 30%
Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). PSUs will provide you the opportunity to earn
shares of AIG Common Stock based on the degree of AIG’s achievement of its
performance criteria during the three-year performance period beginning January
2017. Following the performance period, in the first quarter of 2020, the number
of PSUs earned (from 0% to 200%) will be determined in accordance with the LTIP.
Earned PSUs will be delivered in shares of AIG Common Stock as soon as
practicable following the performance determination. RSUs provide you the
opportunity to receive shares of AIG Common Stock based on continued employment
with the Company until the end of the three-year period beginning January 2017.
RSUs will vest on January 1, 2020 and be delivered as soon as practicable
following vesting. Your 2017 LTI Award will also include dividend equivalents,
as provided in the LTIP.

Your 2017 LTI Award will be subject to the terms and conditions of the LTIP and
the award agreement governing the grant (including, without limitation, the
six-month notice requirement and reservation of the right of the Company to pay
in cash) applicable to other senior management grantees.

For 2018, you will receive an award under the LTIP with a target value of US
$1,400,000 (your “2018 LTI Award”). This grant will be made in the first quarter
of 2018 and is contingent on your being an active employee of the Company on the
date of CMRC approval of the grant. Your 2018 LTI Award will be subject to the
terms and conditions of the LTIP and the award agreement governing the grant
applicable to other senior management grantees.

Your 2017 LTI Award, 2018 LTI Award and any subsequent LTI awards granted to you
will credit service for your employment with Hamilton Insurance Group Ltd.

payout upon “Retirement” or a “Qualifying Resignation” as provided under the
LTIP (or under any similar provisions in any subsequent long-term incentive
plan).

 

  •   Sign-on Arrangements. In consideration of compensation foregone from your
current employer, as soon as practicable following your Start Date, a
recommendation on your behalf will be made to the CMRC that you be granted
Restricted Stock Units under the LTIP with a target value of US $1,400,000
(“Sign-on RSUs”), of which Sign-on RSUs having a target value of US $280,000
will vest on January 1, 2018, US $280,000 will vest on January 1, 2019,
US $560,000 will vest on January 1, 2020 and US $280,000 will vest on January 1,
2021. The award agreement governing the grant of the Sign-on RSUs will include
