STARR INTERNATIONAL COMPANY

Starr International is a private investment company incorporated in Panama in 1943. From 1943 through 1970, Starr International built and operated a global network of managing general agency (MGA) businesses to offer insurance for risks around the world.

In 1970, Starr International sold its MGA business to American International Reinsurance Company (Airco), in exchange for Airco common stock. At the time, Airco was the majority shareholder of American International Group, a new public company formed in 1967.

When Airco merged into AIG in 1978, Starr International became the largest single stockholder in AIG, and remains so today, owning approximately 9.9% of AIG's common stock.

Starr International now serves as a private financial services holding company with approximately $20bn in assets world wide.
