On October 28, 2024, Boeing entered into an Underwriting Agreement to sell 112,500,000 shares of common stock, which was later upsized and fully subscribed with an additional 16,875,000 shares purchased by underwriters exercising their option. This offering, which closed on October 30, 2024, was conducted under a previously filed shelf registration statement. Concurrently, as a result of the successful completion of the common stock offering, Boeing provided notice on October 30, 2024, of the termination of all commitments under its $10.0 billion supplemental credit agreement.
