(Bloomberg) — American International Group Inc.'s Peter Hancock will get a compensation package of $11.8 million a year as the insurer's new chief executive officer.

The short-term incentive will be $3.2 million of cash and the long-term will be $7 million in performance share units for meeting targets, plus he will get an annual salary of $1.6 million, the New York-based company said today in a regulatory filing. That package compares with a total target of $9 million last year when Hancock was CEO of the property-casualty operation, the company's largest business.

Hancock, 56, takes over Sept. 1 from Robert Benmosche, who had a $13 million target for last year after repaying a U.S. bailout in 2012. The incoming CEO has been preparing the company for increased supervision from the Federal Reserve after AIG was named a systemically important financial institution.
