(p8) - David Herzog, AIG Senior Vice President and Comptroller, then joined the meeting.

  • Mr. Herzog explained AIG's immediate liquidity needs.
  • He stated that AIG had used $10 billion to $11 billion through the securities lending program and was still approximately $4.5 billion short in that program.
  • Mr. Herzog then explained that because AIG did not have sufficient funds to pay the liabilities that would come due tomorrow, if AIG does not obtain a loan to provide funds for the next day, the securities lending program will go into default.
  • (p225) - 51 Herzog testified that the regulator he spoke with on September 16, 2008 allowed AIG to utilize $4.5 billion of insurance company liquidity to satisfy the needs of the securities lending program (Herzog: Trial Tr. 6971:8 – 6974:3).
