　　AIG agreed to pay $960m to resolve a shareholderlawsuit that had demanded compensation –potentially exceeding $100bn – for the collapse inthe insurance group’s value when it was bailed outby the US government in 2008.

　　美国国际集团(AIG)已同意支付9.6亿美元，就一起股东索赔案达成和解。这起诉讼案的索赔金额可能超过1000亿美元，索赔的原因是：2008年该公司被美国政府纾困时，股东曾因AIG市值大幅缩水而蒙受损失。

　　The class action suit was filed in 2008, shortly afterAIG was rescued by the US Treasury and FederalReserve as it racked up huge losses on insurance written on plunging mortgage securities.

　　2008年，就在这一集体诉讼提出之前不久，AIG曾因积累了巨额亏损而被美国财政部(Treasury) 和美联储(Fed)纾困。当时，AIG承保的抵押贷款证券价值一落千丈。

　　Shareholders led by the state of Michigan claimed they “suffered tens of billions of dollars oflosses, at the least, based on false and materially misleading statements that AIG, certain ofits executives, directors, underwriters and outside auditor made concerning the company’sfinancial results, business operations and condition”.

　　以密歇根州为首的AIG股东声称，他们“因有关AIG的虚假声明和具有极大误导性的声明而蒙受了至少数百亿美元的损失。这些围绕AIG财政业绩、业务运营和企业状况的声明正是来自AIG某些主管、董事、保险商及外部审计人员”。
