AIG agreed to purchase approximately 98.4 million shares in the offering, representing approximately $3.0 billion of Treasury’s proceeds from the sale. The offering reduced Treasury’s remaining investment in AIG to approximately 871.1 million shares of common stock and reduced Treasury’s percentage ownership of AIG’s outstanding shares of common stock from 61% to approximately 53%.
