American International Group (AIG) has gone back to the feds. The insurer pulled another $2.2 billion from its Treasury Department facility to support the property-casualty business units that will comprise the restructured company. AIG used the cash from Treasury to redeem some securities held by its insurance subsidiaries to increase liquidity and address rating agency considerations.
According to David Havens, managing director of credit trading at Nomura Securities (NMR), "AIG still needs to be cognizant of where the rating agencies stand on their solvency." He adds, in Bloomberg News, that the funds may have been sought after the company got "feedback from the rating agencies that the regulatory capital within the operating companies doesn't muster up."
