Under the terms of the settlement, the parties have agreed to release each other from all claims, including any claims by Greenberg and Smith against AIG for indemnification of future legal fees and expenses or settlement costs. The parties have further agreed to submit to an independent third party Greenberg’s and Smith’s claims for past legal fees and expenses for a determination of which of those fees (up to a $150 million cap) AIG is legally obligated to pay under AIG’s charter and by-laws and Delaware law. “We are pleased that we have resolved our differences” said Robert Benmosche, AIG’s chief executive officer. “The resolution of these long-running disputes will remove a significant distraction and expense and allow AIG to better focus its efforts on paying back taxpayers and restoring the value of our franchise for the benefit of all our stakeholders."
