In context
“o shareholders, including $519 million of share repurchases and $241 million of dividends. As we announced yesterday, the AIG Board of Directors approved an 11% increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.50 per share starting in the second quarter of 2026. This marks the fourth consecutive year of double-digit percentage increases and reflects the Board's confidence in our strategy and AIG's long-term outlook. Our total debt to total adjusted capital ratio was 17.7% at quarter end. As we discussed on our last earnings call, we've continued to reduce our ownership of Corebridge Financial. At the end of the first quarter, our equity interest in Corebridge was approximately 5.6%. We anticipate fully exiting our position by selling down our remaining stake in 2026, subject to market conditions. We expect the primary use of these proceeds will be for additional share repurchases. As we look ahead, AIG has tremendous financial strength and strategic optionality to execute against our objectives, profitability ambitions and our capital management priorities. Turning to the Property market. On our second quarter call last year, we spent time discussing the market's competitive dynamics and providing detail on our portfolio. I wanted to provide a further update based on current market conditions and the pricing pressure we have seen across the market on the U.S. large account segment. As a reminder, we have multiple points of entry into the global property market where we deploy capital for the best risk-adjusted returns. First, our balanced and profitable International Property business represents approximately 40% of AIG's $6.5 billion gross premiums written Propert”
