The Federal Reserve Board says it has rejected American International Group's offer to buy back a package of securities it had sold the Fed when it needed cash in November 2008.

The Fed says in a statement that because of improving market conditions for the types of securities held in the so-called Maiden Lane-II portfolio, "it has declined AIG's offer to purchase all of the assets in Maiden Lane II."

AIG had offered to purchase the securities, valued at $21.7 billion at par, for $15.7 billion.
