"Anastasia Kelly, vice chairman for legal, human resources, corporate affairs and corporate communications at AIG, New York, resigned from her post effective Dec. 30. She began working for AIG in 2006.

Kelly resigned for “good reason” under the terms of AIG’s executive severance plan 'based on the reduction in her base salary that was mandated by the Special Master for Executive Compensation for TARP Recipients,' the company says in a statement, referring to the compensation restrictions that the federal government has imposed on the top 100 AIG employees.

The government is applying the restrictions to AIG and other companies that have received large amounts of financial assistance from the federal government."
