Acquisitions and Joint Ventures

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 contemplated the establishment of joint ventures that included the commercial aircraft and services operations of Embraer, of which we were expected to acquire an 80 percent ownership stake for $4,200, as well as a joint venture to promote and develop new markets for the C-390 Millennium.

The transaction documents permitted either party to terminate the proposed partnership beginning on April 24, 2020, provided that certain closing conditions were not met. Based on Embraer’s failure to satisfy required closing conditions, Boeing has exercised its contractual termination right. We would have been required to pay a termination fee of $100 had the transaction been terminated due to a failure to obtain antitrust approvals. Because the transaction was terminated due to a failure by Embraer to meet other closing conditions, we do not expect to be required to pay a termination fee in connection with the termination of the transaction. Boeing and Embraer will arbitrate their dispute over Boeing’s termination of the agreement.
