1 The original $85 billion commitment was reduced to $60 billion in November 2008 in connection with the $40 billion TARP investment in AIG. The credit facility commitment was further reduced to $35 billion in December 2009 in connection with AIG’s transfer of the AIA Aurora LLC and ALICO Holdings LLC preferred interests to the New York Fed. Additional commitment reductions followed as AIG sold assets to repay the credit facility. The commitment was permanently terminated when AIG fully repaid the facility on January 14, 2011.
2 AIG's usage of the revolving credit facility peaked prior to the November 2008 restructuring, which reduced the commitment to $60 billion.
3 The credit facility initially carried an interest rate of LIBOR plus 8.5 percent, with a 3.5 percent floor on LIBOR. On November 25, 2008, the interest rate was reduced to LIBOR plus 3 percent, but the floor on LIBOR was retained. On April 17, 2009, the floor on LIBOR was eliminated.  The interest rate on the facility was reset quarterly.
4 The dividend rate on the New York Fed’s preferred interests in AIA Aurora LLC and ALICO Holdings LLC was fixed at 5 percent, compounded quarterly.
5 The overnight rate on the securities borrowing facility was a daily market rate, which varied by the type of collateral posted by AIG.
