By Andrea Heisinger

New York, Sept. 8 - American International Group, Inc. sold $2 billion of notes (Baa1/A-) in two parts on Thursday, according to a source close to the trade.

The $1.2 billion of 4.25% three-year notes was priced at 99.448 to yield 4.448% with a spread of Treasuries plus 412.5 basis points. The notes were sold in line with guidance in the 412.5 bps area.
