Equity and M&A analyst

Boeing reports the completion of its acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems.

The Boeing Company states that as of December 8, 2025, it has completed its acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc.. This moves the transaction from an announced or pending stage to a closed deal, which typically means required closing conditions have been satisfied or waived as described in prior agreements, though those details are not repeated here.

The disclosure is made under a Regulation FD item, with the main additional information contained in a press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1. Because the information is characterized as furnished, not filed, it is not automatically incorporated into other securities law reports unless specifically referenced there, which is a common technical distinction in these kinds of disclosures.

Subsequent company filings and communications can provide more detail on how the acquisition is reflected in Boeing’s future financial statements and segment reporting, but this 8-K establishes that legal completion of the transaction occurred on December 8, 2025.
