  • SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS
  • AGC Life Insurance Company operates as a holding company that directly owns six domestic life insurance subsidiaries and one foreign subsidiary.
    • The domestic subsidiaries lost $17.5 billion in 2008 as a result of their participation in a securities lending program sponsored by its upstream parent, American International Group, lnc. (''AIG").
    • AIG made capital contributions in 2008 to substantially offset these securities lending losses from funds primarily obtained from the U.S. government.
    • However the subsidiaries incurred significant damage to their reputations because of their association with AIG and this reputational damage resulted in a substantial loss of business that may be considered a threat to their future level of profitability.
    • As a result the subsidiaries could be dependent on additional capital contributions from AlG to maintain their capital positions.
