Four years following its $182 billion financial bailout of American International Group, Inc. (AIG), the United States Department of Treasury (Treasury) and the Federal Reserve have now sold almost all of their remaining AIG ownership interest, which at one time reached 92 percent, and have achieved a net positive investment return of $22.7 billion.
This remarkable result was achieved today when the Treasury announced the sale of 234 million common shares at $32.50 per share, the same price it received for a similar sale in September 2012.
For details about the most recent sale plus an historical perspective on AIG's recovery, see this Bloomberg News article posted on "New Jersey Business".
