 Exhibit 10.1 

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC. 

ANNUAL SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

 

	1.	Purpose 

 American International Group, Inc. (“AIG” and together
with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) has created this American International Group, Inc. Annual Short-Term Incentive Plan (this “Plan”) to strengthen our pay-for-performance culture by
rewarding employees for business and individual performance during the applicable Performance Year. This Plan replaces the American International Group, Inc. 2013 Short-Term Incentive Plan beginning with the Performance Year from January 1,
2014 through December 31, 2014. Awards under this Plan (each, an “Incentive Award”) will be in the form of cash. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings set forth in the Glossary of Terms in
Appendix A. 
  

	2.	Performance Periods 

 This Plan will operate for successive one-year periods beginning on
January 1 of each year (each, a “Performance Year”) until this Plan is terminated by the Compensation and Management Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of AIG (including any successor thereto, the
“Committee”). The first Performance Year will be January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. 
  

	3.	Eligibility 

 All full and part-time employees of the Company, excluding external
contractors, independent contractors, temporary workers, and independent agents during the applicable Performance Year (the “Participants”) are eligible to participate in this Plan for such Performance Year, unless the
employee is a participant in another variable pay or sales plan that the applicable business has determined is in lieu of this Plan during such Performance Year. For the avoidance of doubt, employees who are eligible to participate in a bonus plan
that is required to be provided under local law or who have an employment contract with AIG or its subsidiaries for ongoing employment of unlimited duration that is not confined to a specific, finite project will not be ineligible for the Plan
(unless the applicable business expressly elects to exclude such employee). If an individual is hired after the Performance Year commences, the individual may become a Participant in the Plan, and the amount of his or her Incentive Award may be
Pro-Rated to reflect the portion of the Performance Year worked. 
  

	4.	Bonus Pool Funding 

 A. Determination. As soon as practicable
following a Performance Year, the Committee will determine the aggregate bonus pool (the “Earned Bonus Pool”) to ensure that the Plan rewards all Participants appropriately and consistent with the purpose of this Plan.
Promptly following this determination, the Compensation Center of Excellence (“Compensation COE”) under the direction of the Executive Group will allocate the Earned Bonus Pool to each of the Business/Functional Segments.
Prior to March 31st of any Performance Year, the Committee will have the discretion to establish a threshold goal (the “Threshold Goal”) and determine that, if the
Threshold Goal is not met, the Earned Bonus Pool will be capped at a fixed amount (including $0) or the amount resulting from a specified formula. 

B. Exceptions to Earned Bonus Pool. As soon as practicable following a Performance Year, the Committee will determine
whether the Incentive Awards for any Participants will be excluded from, and not subject to, the Earned Bonus Pool. 
  

	5.	Incentive Awards 

 A. Amount and Form. Prior to or as soon as
practicable following the commencement of a Performance Year, a Participant’s target Incentive Award (the “Individual Target Award”) will be 







 
established by the Committee or the applicable Business/Functional Segment in which the Participant is Employed. The Individual Target Award will generally be established after considering the
Participant’s job grade, business, local market, job scope, responsibilities and experience. 
 B. Performance
Metrics. Prior to or as soon as practicable following the commencement of a Performance Year, the Committee will determine the performance metric(s) (each, a “Performance Metric”) and the manner in which each
Participant’s actual Incentive Award (the “Earned Individual Award”) will be calculated for such Performance Year. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, there will be three categories of Performance Metrics:
(1) Company-based Performance Metrics, (2) Business/Functional Segment-based Performance Metrics and (3) Individual-based Performance Metrics; provided that for any Performance Year there will be at least one Company-based
Performance Metric or Business/Functional Segment-based Performance Metric (which could include the Threshold Goal). The Earned Individual Awards may be determined for any Performance Year on the basis of one or any combination of the Performance
Metrics, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, and the Performance Metrics will be documented in a written Administrative Guide prepared by management for the Performance Year. In determining the manner in which the Earned
Individual Award will be calculated, the Committee may establish minimum, target and maximum achievement levels for any Performance Metric. 

C. Earned Individual Award. The Committee will assess performance against (1) any Company-based Performance
Metrics, (2) any Business/Functional Segment-based Performance Metrics and (3) for Participants who are under the purview of the Committee, any Individual-based Performance Metrics, in each case, as soon as practicable following a
Performance Year. For any Participants who are not under the purview of the Committee, such Participant’s manager (in accordance with the then-current performance management process, if any) will assess performance against his or her
Individual-based Performance Metrics, if applicable. Each Participant’s Earned Individual Award will be determined by the extent to which the Performance Metrics applicable to the Plan Year have been attained. The Committee may provide that an
Earned Individual Award may not exceed a certain percentage of the Individual Target Award. In addition, in no event will the aggregate Earned Individual Awards for a Performance Year exceed the Earned Bonus Pool. 

D. Vesting; Payment. Earned Individual Awards for a Performance Year will be granted as the Committee determines in its
sole discretion and paid on such date or dates following the determination process described in Section 5.C, but no later than April 30th following the Performance Year (the
“Award Date”). A Participant must be employed on the Award Date to be eligible to receive his or her Earned Individual Award except to the extent provided in Section 6 and Appendix B. Prior to
March 31st of a Performance Year, the Committee may determine that all or a specified percentage of a Participant’s Earned Incentive Award will be a “Deferred
Award,” in which case such Earned Incentive Award will be paid on the one-year anniversary of the Award Date (the “Deferred Award Payment Date”). 

 

	6.	Termination in Service; Breaks in Service 

 A. Termination
Generally. In the event (i) a Participant’s Employment is Terminated for any reason during the Performance Year or prior to the Award Date or (ii) a Participant is Employed but not actively performing services for the
Company for a portion of the Performance Year or on the Award Date for certain reasons specified in Appendix B, the amount and payment of the Earned Individual Award, if any, that the Participant will receive will be determined (and, if
applicable, modified) in accordance with Appendix B. 
 B. Termination without Cause. In the event that a
Participant is involuntarily Terminated without Cause, AIG will require the Participant to execute a Release in order to impose restrictive covenants requiring confidentiality of information, non-disparagement and non-solicitation of Company
employees for 12 months following the termination as a condition to receiving payment of all or a portion of an Earned Individual Award for which the Award Date has not occurred as of such termination. The Release must be executed by the
Participant, submitted to the Company and become irrevocable prior to the 

  
 -2- 








 
date on which any such Earned Individual Award shall be paid, but in no event shall the Release be executed later than March 10th of the
year following the year in which the Termination without Cause occurred; provided that if the Release is executed after such time, any payments with respect to the Earned Individual Award will be forfeited. 

 

	7.	Clawback/Repayment 

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in consideration of
the grant of an Incentive Award, the award and any payments under this Plan will be subject to forfeiture and/or repayment to the extent provided for in the AIG Clawback Policy, as in effect from time to time. 

 

	8.	Administration 

 A. General. The Plan will be administered by the
Committee, and any person or persons designated by the Committee to administer the Plan from time to time (including, but not limited to delegating (i) all or a portion of the day-to-day administration of the Plan to the Compensation COE and
(ii) Plan interpretation issues to a committee (the “Plan Interpretation Committee”) consisting of the highest level executive overseeing each of Compensation and Benefits, Human Resources, Legal, and Employee
Relations). The Compensation COE will conduct validation analyses to determine that this Plan is generally operated in accordance with the terms of this Plan and the applicable Administrative Guide. Actions of the Committee may be taken by the vote
of a majority of its members. The Committee may allocate among its members and delegate to any person who is not a member of the Committee any of its powers, responsibilities or duties under the Plan. The Committee will have the power to construe,
interpret and implement this Plan, to make regulations for carrying out its purposes and to make all other determinations in connection with its administration, all of which will, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, be final, binding and
conclusive. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, reinstate any Earned Individual Awards made under this Plan that have been terminated and forfeited because of a Participant’s Termination, if the Participant complies with any covenants,
agreements or conditions that the Committee may impose; provided, however, that payment under such reinstated awards will not be made until the scheduled times set forth in this Plan. 

B. Determination of Employment. The Committee will have the right to determine the commencement or Termination
date of a Participant’s Employment with the Company solely for purposes of this Plan, separate and apart from any determination as may be made by the Company with respect to the individual’s employment. 

C. No Liability. No member of the Board of Directors of AIG (the “Board”) or any employee
of AIG performing services with respect to the Plan (each, a “Covered Person”) will have any liability to any person (including any Participant) for any action taken or omitted to be taken or any determination made, in each
case, in good faith with respect to this Plan or any Participant’s participation in it. Each Covered Person will be indemnified and held harmless by AIG against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense (including attorneys’ fees)
that may be imposed upon or incurred by such Covered Person in connection with or resulting from any action, suit or proceeding to which such Covered Person may be a party or in which such Covered Person may be involved by reason of any action taken
or omitted to be taken under this Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by such Covered Person, with AIG’s approval, in settlement thereof, or paid by such Covered Person in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or
proceeding against such Covered Person, provided that AIG will have the right, at its own expense, to assume and defend any such action, suit or proceeding and, once AIG gives notice of its intent to assume the defense, AIG will have sole
control over such defense with counsel of AIG’s choice. To the extent any taxable expense reimbursement under this paragraph is subject to Section 409A, (1) the amount thereof eligible in one taxable year shall not affect the amount
eligible in any other taxable year; (2) in no event shall any expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the Covered Person incurred such expenses; and (3) in no event shall any right
to reimbursement be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. The foregoing right of indemnification will not be available to a Covered Person to the extent that a court of competent 

  
 -3- 








 
jurisdiction in a final judgment or other final adjudication, in either case, not subject to further appeal, determines that the acts or omissions of such Covered Person giving rise to the
indemnification claim resulted from such Covered Person’s bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct. The foregoing right of indemnification will not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which Covered Persons may be entitled under
AIG’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any other power that AIG may have to indemnify such persons or hold them harmless. 

D. Consent. If the Committee at any time determines, in its sole discretion, that any consent (as hereinafter
defined) is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of any award or the payment of any amount under this Plan or the taking of any other action thereunder (each such action, a “plan
action”), then such plan action will not be taken, in whole or in part, unless and until such consent will have been effected or obtained to the full satisfaction of the Committee; provided that if such consent has not been so
effected or obtained as of the latest date provided by this Plan for payment of such amount and further delay is not permitted in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, such amount will be forfeited and terminate notwithstanding any
prior earning or vesting. 
 The term “consent” as used in this paragraph with respect to any plan
action includes (1) any and all listings, registrations or qualifications in respect thereof upon any securities exchange or under any federal, state, or local law, or law, rule or regulation of a jurisdiction outside the United States,
(2) any other matter, which the Committee may deem necessary or desirable to comply with the terms of any such listing, registration or qualification or to obtain an exemption from the requirement that any such listing, qualification or
registration be made, (3) any and all other consents, clearances and approvals in respect of a plan action by any governmental or other regulatory body or any stock exchange or self-regulatory agency and (4) any and all consents required
by the Committee. 
  

	9.	Other Provisions 

 A. No Funding. The Company will be under no
obligation to fund or set aside amounts to pay obligations under this Plan. A Participant will have no rights to awards or other amounts under this Plan other than as a general, unsecured creditor of the Company. 

B. Tax Withholding. The Company will comply with all applicable tax reporting, withholding and other requirements
globally with respect to amounts paid under this Plan, in amounts and in a manner determined in the sole discretion of the Company. As a condition to the payment of any amount under this Plan, or in connection with any other event related to this
Plan, that gives rise to a federal or other governmental tax withholding obligation (1) the Company may deduct or withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) from any payment to a Participant whether or not pursuant to this Plan or
(2) the Committee will be entitled to require that the Participant remit cash to the Company (through payroll deduction or otherwise), in each case, in an amount sufficient in the opinion of the Company to satisfy such withholding obligation.

 C. No Rights to Other Payments. The provisions of this Plan provide no right or eligibility to a Participant
to any other payouts from AIG or its subsidiaries under any other alternative plans, schemes, arrangements or contracts AIG may have with any employee or group of employees of AIG or its subsidiaries. Nothing contained in the Plan will be deemed in
any way to limit or restrict the Company from adopting or continuing in effect any compensation arrangements or making any award or payment to any person under any other plan, arrangement or understanding, whether now existing or hereafter in
effect. 
 D. Effect on Benefit Plans. The Incentive Award payment is deemed compensation under certain of the
Company’s compensation and benefit plans, but it is not deemed compensation for other programs; provided, however, that for purposes of the Company’s benefit programs, this Plan will be deemed a short-term incentive, annual, year-end bonus
program. The Summary Plan Description and plan summaries of each of the Company’s compensation and benefit plans will govern whether and the extent to which the Incentive Award payment will affect the Participant’s benefits under such
plans, and the Company reserves the right to amend those compensation and benefit plans at any time. 

  
 -4- 








 E. Section 409A. Payments under this Plan are intended to be exempt
from Section 409A to the extent they satisfy the “short-term deferral exception” in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and otherwise to be compliant with Section 409A, and this Plan shall be interpreted, operated and
administered accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, all Incentive Awards under the Plan other than Deferred Awards are intended to satisfy the short-term deferral exception and all Deferred Awards constitute “deferred compensation”
subject to Section 409A. With respect to any Incentive Award that constitutes “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A, (1) references to termination of the Participant’s employment will mean the
Participant’s separation from service with the Company within the meaning of Section 409A and (2) any payment to be made with respect to such Incentive Award in connection with the Participant’s separation from service with the
Company within the meaning of Section 409A that would be subject to the limitations in Section 409A(a)(2)(b) of the Code will be delayed until six months after the Participant’s separation from service (or earlier death) in accordance
with the requirements of Section 409. Each payment made under the Plan will be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. The Committee will have full authority to give effect to the intent of this
Section 9.E. 
 F. Section 4999. In the event that any Incentive Award payment received or to be
received by any Participant under this Plan would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any similar or successor provision to Section 4999 (the “Excise Tax”) then, at the discretion of
the Chief Human Resource Officer, such Incentive Award payment shall be reduced up to the largest amount which would result in no portion of the Incentive Award payment being subject to the Excise Tax. The determination of any such reduction
pursuant to this Section 9.F will be made by the Executive Vice President, Human Resources (or, in the event no individual with such a title is employed by the Company, then the most senior Human Resources executive overseeing the entire
global Human Resources function of the Company), and such determination will be conclusive and binding upon the Company, the Participant, and the Committee for all purposes. 

G. Section Headings. The section headings contained herein are for convenience only, and in the event of any conflict,
the text of the Plan, rather than the headings will control. 
 H. Severability. If any term or provision contained
herein is finally held to be, to any extent, invalid, illegal or unenforceable (whether in whole or in part), such provision will be deemed modified only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability and the remaining provisions
will not be affected thereby. 
 I. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided herein, this Plan will
not confer on any person other than AIG and the Participant any rights or remedies hereunder. The exculpation and indemnification provisions of Section 8.C will inure to the benefit of a Covered Person’s estate and beneficiaries and
legatees. 
 J. Nonassignability. No award (or any rights and obligations thereunder) granted to any person under the
Plan may be sold, exchanged, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or hedged, in any manner (including through the use of any cash-settled instrument), whether voluntarily or involuntarily and whether by operation of
law or otherwise, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, except as may be otherwise provided in the award agreement. Any sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition in violation of the
provisions of this Section 9.J will be null and void and any award which is hedged in any manner will immediately be forfeited. All of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the award agreements will be binding upon any permitted
successors and assigns. 
 K. Entire Understanding. The Plan and, with respect to a Performance Year, the applicable
Administrative Guide, contains the entire understanding of the Company and the Participants with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersedes all prior promises, covenants, arrangements, agreements, communications, representations and
understanding between the Company and the Participant. 

  
 -5- 








 L. No Right of Employment. Nothing in this Plan will be construed as
creating any contract of employment or conferring upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ or other service of the Company, or any of its subdivisions or subsidiaries, or limit in any way the right of the Company to change such
Participant’s compensation or benefits or to terminate the employment or other service of such Participant with or without cause. 

M. Successor and Assigns. The terms of this Plan will inure to the benefit of AIG and any successor entity. 

N. Subject to Any AIG Section 162(m) Plan. AIG may, in any year, propose a Section 162(m) compliant
performance incentive award plan (the “AIG Section 162(m) Plan”). If an AIG Section 162(m) Plan is proposed and approved by the AIG stockholders in accordance with Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code and Treasury
Regulation Section 1.162-27(e)(4), this Plan will function as a sub-plan under the AIG Section 162(m) Plan, whereby performance compensation amounts payable under the AIG Section 162(m) Plan can
be paid in part by accruing awards with respect to a Performance Year. 
 O. No Liability With Respect to Tax
Qualification or Adverse Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be liable to a Participant on account of the failure of any Incentive Award or amount payable under this Plan to
(a) qualify for favorable United States or foreign tax treatment or (b) avoid adverse tax treatment under United States or foreign law, including, without limitation, Section 409A. 

 

	10.	Governing Law 

 The Plan will be governed and enforced in accordance with the appropriate
country and local regulations. With respect to Participants working in the United States, this Plan will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. 

The Plan shall also be subject to all applicable non-U.S. laws as to Participants located outside of the United States. In the event that any
provision of this Plan is not permitted by the local laws of a country or jurisdiction in which a Participant works, such local law shall supersede that provision of this Plan with respect to that Participant. The Plan Interpretation Committee or
its designee shall have the discretion to operate the Plan with respect to such Participant in a manner that incorporates as much of the Plan’s current terms as possible while also complying with such local laws. 

 

	11.	Plan Termination; Amendment 

 The Plan may be amended or modified, with or without prior
notification of the Participants, at any time in the sole discretion of the Committee. The Plan will continue until suspended or terminated by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided that all Incentive Awards made under the Plan before
its suspension or termination will remain in effect until such awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan and the applicable award. Any termination of this Plan will be done in a manner that the
Committee determines complies with Section 409A. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee’s rights and powers to amend the
Plan shall be delegated to individuals holding the following positions, Executive Vice President Human Resources (or, in the event no individual with such a title is employed by the Company, then the most senior Human Resources overseeing the entire
global Human Resource Function of the Company) or the Vice President Global Compensation and Benefits (or, in the event no individual with such a title is employed by the Company, then the most senior executive overseeing the Company’s
Compensation and Benefits Function), either of which has the right to amend the Plan with respect to (i) amendments required by relevant law, regulation or ruling, (ii) amendments that are not expected to have a material financial impact
on the Company, (iii) amendments that can reasonably be characterized as technical or ministerial in nature or (iv) amendments that have previously been approved in concept by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing delegation, the
positions noted above shall not have the power to make an amendment to the Plan that could reasonably be expected to result in a termination of the Plan or a change in the structure or the powers, duties or responsibilities of the Committee, unless
such amendment is approved or ratified by the Committee.

	12.	Effective Date 

 The Plan is effective as of the 2014 Performance Year, and will continue
thereafter until terminated by the Committee; provided, however, that the existence of the Plan at any time or from time to time does not guarantee or imply the payment of any Incentive Awards hereunder, or the establishment of any future
plans or the continuation of this Plan.

 (2) Employee acknowledges
that Employee has not filed any complaint, charge, claim or proceeding, if any, against any of the Released Parties before any local, state or federal agency, court or other body (each individually a “Proceeding”). Employee

During the term of Employee’s employment, the Company permitted Employee to have access to and become acquainted with trade secret information of a confidential, proprietary or secret nature. Subject to and in addition to any confidentiality or
non-disclosure requirements to which Employee was subject prior to the date the Employee executes this Release, effective as of the date Employee executes this Release, Employee acknowledges and agrees that (i) all confidential, proprietary,
trade secret information received, obtained or possessed at any time by Employee concerning or relating to the business, financial, operational, marketing, economic, accounting, tax or other affairs at the Company or any client, customer, agent or

trade secret information (as set forth in Paragraph 3). Subject to and in addition to any non-solicitation requirements to which Employee was subject prior to the date Employee executes this Release, effective as of the date Employee executes this
Release, Employee acknowledges and agrees that (i) Employee will not, directly or indirectly, on Employee’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity solicit, contact, call upon, communicate with or attempt to communicate with
any customer or client or prospective customer or client of the Company where to do so would require the use or disclosure of trade secret information, and (ii) for a period of one (1) year after employment terminates for any reason,
Employee will not solicit or in any manner encourage or provide assistance to any employee, consultant or agent of the Company to terminate his or her employment or other relationship with the Company or to leave its employ or other relationship
with the Company for any engagement in any capacity or any other person or entity. 
 (5) Non-Disparagement. Employee acknowledges and agrees that
Employee will not disparage AIG or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any of their officers, directors or employees to any person or entity not affiliated with AIG; provided, however, that nothing herein prohibits the Employee from giving
truthful testimony as required by law. 
 (6) Employee agrees that AIG’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of Section 3, 4 and 5
of this Release would be inadequate. In recognition of this fact, Employee agrees that, in the event of such a breach or 

  
 -14- 








 
threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, AIG, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction the form of specific
performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available in the event of a breach or threatened breach of such provision. 

(7) [Employee acknowledges and understands that Employee is hereby being advised to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release. Employee also
acknowledges and understands that Employee has twenty-one (21) days to consider the terms of this Release before signing it. However, in no event may Employee sign this Release before Employee’s termination date.] 

(8) [Upon the signing of this Release by Employee, Employee understands that Employee shall have a period of seven (7) days following Employee’s
signing of this Release in which Employee may revoke this Release. Employee understands that this Release shall not become effective or enforceable until this seven (7) day revocation period has expired, and that neither the Released Parties
nor any other person has any obligation [pursuant to the American International Group, Inc. Annual Short-Term Incentive Plan] until eight (8) days have passed since Employee’s signing of this Release without Employee having revoked this
Release. If Employee revokes this Release, Employee will be deemed not to have accepted the terms of this Release.] 
 (9) Any dispute arising under this
Release shall be governed by the [law of the State of New York], without reference to the choice of law rules that would cause the application of the law of any other jurisdiction.
