Government would own 90% of AIG but sell shares slowly

AIG is in talks to repay US taxpayers in full to get its independence, possibly turning $49bn of government preferred shares into common shares, by mid 2011, The Wall Street Journal reports.

The government's stake in AIG would rise to above 90%, from 79.8%, but the common shares would then be gradually sold off over several years.
