Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees
12. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees
In the normal course of business, we enter into various contingent liabilities and commitments. In addition, AIG Parent guarantees various obligations of certain subsidiaries.
Although we cannot currently quantify our ultimate liability for unresolved litigation and investigation matters, including those referred to below, it is possible that such liability could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows for an individual reporting period.
LEGAL CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to regulatory and government investigations and actions, and litigation and other forms of dispute resolution in proceedings pending in various domestic and foreign jurisdictions. Certain of these matters may involve considerable risk of loss due to the potential for significant jury awards (including in certain cases the possibility of punitive damages or other penalties) and settlements, especially in the case of class actions. It is inherently difficult to predict the size or scope of potential future losses arising from such matters. In our insurance and reinsurance operations, litigation and arbitration concerning the scope of coverage under insurance and reinsurance contracts, and litigation and arbitration in which our subsidiaries defend or indemnify their insureds under insurance contracts, are considered in the establishment of our loss reserves.
Separately, AIG Parent, our subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors are subject to additional types of legal proceedings brought by holders of AIG securities, customers, employees and others, alleging, among other things, breach of contractual or fiduciary duties, bad faith, indemnification and violations of federal and state statutes and regulations. With respect to such matters, we establish reserves for loss contingencies when it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In many instances, we are unable to determine whether a loss is probable or to reasonably estimate the amount of such a loss and, therefore, the potential future losses arising from legal proceedings may exceed the amount of liabilities that we have recorded in our financial statements covering these matters. While such potential future charges could be material, based on information currently known to management, management does not believe that any such charges are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Additionally, from time to time, various regulatory and governmental agencies review our transactions and practices in connection with industry-wide and other inquiries or examinations into, among other matters, the business practices of current and former operating insurance subsidiaries. These matters could develop into administrative, civil or criminal proceedings or enforcement actions, in which remedies could include fines, penalties, restitution or alterations in our business practices, and could result in additional expenses and limitations on certain business activities.
OTHER COMMITMENTS
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into commitments to invest in limited partnerships, private equity funds and real estate funds. These commitments totaled $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
GUARANTEES
Subsidiaries
We have issued unconditional guarantees with respect to the prompt payment, when due, of all present and future payment obligations and liabilities of AIGFP and certain of its subsidiaries. We have also issued guarantees of all present and future payment obligations and liabilities of AIG Markets, Inc.
Due to the deconsolidation of AIGFP and its subsidiaries, as of June 30, 2026, an $80 million guarantee related to the obligations of AIGFP and certain of its subsidiaries was recognized, and is reported in Other liabilities.
We guarantee certain policyholder contracts issued by Corebridge subsidiaries as well as certain debt issued by Corebridge Life Holdings, Inc. (CRBGLH). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement entered in by AIG and Corebridge on September 14, 2022, Corebridge must indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against any liability related to these guarantees. Also, under a collateral agreement, in the event of: (i) a ratings downgrade of Corebridge or the guaranteed debt below specified levels or (ii) the failure by CRBGLH to pay principal and interest on the guaranteed debt when due, Corebridge must collateralize an amount equal to the sum of: (i) 100 percent of the principal amount outstanding, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and (iii) 100 percent of the net present value of scheduled interest payments through the maturity dates of the debt.
Business and Asset Dispositions
We are subject to financial guarantees and indemnity arrangements in connection with completed sales of businesses and assets. We are unable to develop a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential payout under certain of these arrangements. Overall, we believe the likelihood that we will have to make any material payments related to completed sales under these arrangements is remote, and no material liabilities related to these arrangements have been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
