Strategic Partnership with Embraer

During the first quarter of 2019, we entered into definitive transaction documents with respect to a strategic partnership with Embraer S.A. (Embraer). The partnership contemplates that the parties enter into a joint venture comprising the commercial aircraft and services operations of Embraer, in which Boeing will acquire an 80 percent ownership stake for $4,200, as well as a joint venture to promote and develop new markets for the multi-mission medium airlift KC-390, in which Boeing will hold a 49 percent ownership stake. Embraer shareholders approved the transaction, which remains subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. We are actively engaged with authorities in relevant jurisdictions and have obtained a number of regulatory approvals, including clearance to close in the United States. In October 2019, the European Commission commenced a Phase II investigation in connection with its regulatory review of the transaction, and the transaction is now expected to close in early 2020. If the transaction is not completed due to failure to obtain antitrust approvals, we would be required to pay a termination fee of $100.
