Sources say AIG (AIG) is in talks with the Treasury on how the government will exit its position in the insurer. Plans, which could emerge as early as this week, will likely see the Treasury convert its $49B preferred stake into common shares - which could raise its stake in AIG to more than 90% from nearly 80% currently. The Treasury would then sell its shares to investors over time.
