Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K Current Report was filed by American International Group, Inc. (AIG) on May 3, 2013. The report discloses a corporate event regarding the establishment of a new debt issuance facility rather than a standard financial reporting period.
Key Financial Metrics
