    - Demonstrates commitment to aviation safety, improves quality for Boeing Commercial Airplanes

    - Leverages Boeing enterprise engineering and manufacturing capabilities

    - Maintains continuity for key U.S. defense and national security programs

    - Supports supply chain stability and critical manufacturing workforce

    - Provides long-term value for commercial and defense customers, employees and shareholders

    ARLINGTON, Va., July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing (NYSE:BA) today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Spirit AeroSystems (NYSE:SPR). The merger is an all-stock transaction at an equity value of approximately $4.7 billion, or $37.25 per share. The total transaction value is approximately $8.3 billion, including Spirit's last reported net debt.

    Each share of Spirit common stock will be exchanged for a number of shares of Boeing common stock equal to an exchange ratio between 0.18 and 0.25, calculated as $37.25 divided by the volume weighted average share price of Boeing shares over the 15-trading-day period ending on the second trading day prior to the closing (subject to a floor of $149.00 per share and a ceiling of $206.94 per share). Spirit shareholders will receive 0.25 Boeing shares for each of their Spirit shares if the volume-weighted average price is at or below $149.00, and 0.18 Boeing shares for each of their Spirit shares if the volume-weighted average price is at or above $206.94.

    "We believe this deal is in the best interest of the flying public, our airline customers, the employees of Spirit and Boeing, our shareholders and the country more broadly," said Boeing President and CEO Dave Calhoun. "By reintegrating Spirit, we can fully align our commercial production systems, including our Safety and Quality Management Systems, and our workforce to the same priorities, incentives and outcomes – centered on safety and quality."

    Boeing's acquisition of Spirit will include substantially all Boeing-related commercial operations, as well as additional commercial, defense and aftermarket operations. As part of the transaction, Boeing will work with Spirit to ensure the continuity of operations supporting Spirit's customers and programs it acquires, including working with the U.S. Department of Defense and Spirit defense customers regarding defense and security missions.

    "We are proud of the role Boeing plays in supporting our men and women in uniform and are committed to ensuring continuity for Spirit's defense programs," said Calhoun.

    Airbus SE and Spirit have also entered into a binding term sheet under which Airbus will acquire, assuming the parties entered into definitive agreements and receipt of any required regulatory approvals, certain commercial work packages that Spirit performs for Airbus concurrently with the closing of the Boeing-Spirit merger. In addition, Spirit is proposing to sell certain of its operations, including those in Belfast, Northern Ireland (non-Airbus operations), Prestwick, Scotland, and Subang, Malaysia. The transaction is expected to close mid-2025 and is subject to the sale of the Spirit operations related to certain Airbus commercial work packages and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory and Spirit shareholder approvals.

    PJT Partners is acting as lead financial advisor to Boeing, with Goldman Sachs & Co, LLC and Consello acting as additional advisors. Sullivan & Cromwell LLP is acting as outside counsel to Boeing.

Forward-looking statements are based on expectations and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable when made, but that may not prove to be accurate. These statements are not guarantees and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from these forward-looking statements. Among these factors are risks related to: the timely satisfaction of the conditions to the consummation of the proposed transaction, including approval of the Spirit stockholders; realizing the anticipated benefits of the acquisition (including anticipated synergies and quality improvements) in the expected timeframe or at all; the successful integration of Spirit into our business and operations; the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the merger agreement; the ability of Spirit to enter into definitive agreements with Airbus SE, and consummate the related transactions, for the disposition of Spirit operations related to certain Airbus commercial work packages; reputational risk and potential adverse reactions of our or Spirit's customers, regulators, employees or business partners, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction; the possibility that the proposed transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; the diversion of management's attention and time from ongoing business operations and opportunities on acquisition-related matters; legal, regulatory, tax and economic developments affecting Boeing, Spirit and our respective businesses; the ability of Boeing and Spirit to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals or to satisfy any of the other conditions to the proposed combination in a timely manner or at all; general conditions in the economy and our industry, including those due to regulatory changes; our reliance on our commercial airline customers; the overall health of our aircraft production system, production quality issues, commercial airplane production rates, our ability to successfully develop and certify new aircraft or new derivative aircraft, and the ability of our aircraft to meet stringent performance and reliability standards; changing budget and appropriation levels and acquisition priorities of the U.S. government, as well as significant delays in U.S. government appropriations; our dependence on subcontractors and suppliers, as well as the availability of highly skilled labor and raw materials; work stoppages or other labor disruptions; competition within our markets; our non-U.S. operations and sales to non-U.S. customers; changes in accounting estimates; realizing the anticipated benefits of other mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures/strategic alliances or divestitures; our dependence on U.S. government contracts; our reliance on fixed-price contracts; our reliance on cost-type contracts; contracts that include in-orbit incentive payments; unauthorized access to our, our customers' and/or our suppliers' information and systems; potential business disruptions, including threats to physical security or our information technology systems, extreme weather (including effects of climate change) or other acts of nature, and pandemics or other public health crises; potential adverse developments in new or pending litigation and/or government inquiries or investigations; potential environmental liabilities; effects of climate change and legal, regulatory or market responses to such change; credit rating agency actions and changes in our ability to obtain debt financing on commercially reasonable terms, at competitive rates and in sufficient amounts; substantial pension and other postretirement benefit obligations; the adequacy of our insurance coverage; and customer and aircraft concentration in our customer financing portfolio.
