Rhea-AI Filing Summary

BOEING CO (BA) entered into a new $3.0 billion, 364‑day revolving credit agreement on August 24, 2026 with a syndicate of lenders led by Citibank and JPMorgan. This facility replaces Boeing’s prior $3.0 billion 364‑day revolver that was scheduled to terminate on the same date.

Under the new agreement, Boeing pays an annual commitment fee of 0.125%–0.300% based on its credit rating. SOFR‑based borrowings accrue interest at Term SOFR + 1.250%–1.700%, while other borrowings are priced off the higher of Citibank’s base rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or one‑month Term SOFR plus 1.00%, plus an additional 0.250%–0.700% spread. The facility is scheduled to terminate on August 23, 2027, with options to convert outstanding amounts into one‑year term loans after paying additional fees and to request a further 364‑day extension.

The agreement includes a covenant limiting consolidated debt to 60% of total capital and requires Boeing to maintain at least $5.0 billion of liquidity. On the same date, Boeing also amended its $4.0 billion 2024 five‑year credit agreement to extend its maturity to May 15, 2030 and its $3.0 billion 2023 five‑year credit agreement to August 24, 2029, adding the same $5.0 billion liquidity covenant to both.

Filing Explained

This filing adds or extends borrowing commitments, not reported cash proceeds, while a continuing default could let lenders accelerate outstanding amounts and stop advances.

On August 24, Boeing entered a new $3.0 billion 364-day revolving credit agreement and amended two five-year agreements; these are lending commitments, and the filing does not report borrowing or proceeds received.

If an event of default occurs and continues under the new 364-day agreement, lenders may accelerate all outstanding amounts and stop advancing additional funds.

revolving credit agreement financial
"entered into a $3.0 billion, 364-day revolving credit agreement"
A revolving credit agreement is a flexible loan arrangement where a borrower can borrow, repay, and borrow again up to a set limit, similar to a credit card. It matters because it gives businesses or individuals quick access to funds whenever needed, helping manage cash flow and cover expenses without applying for a new loan each time.
Term SOFR financial
"bear interest at an annual rate equal to Term SOFR"
Term SOFR is a benchmark interest rate that reflects the cost of borrowing money over a specific period, based on actual transactions in the financial markets. It is used by lenders and borrowers to set the interest rates on loans and financial contracts, helping to ensure rates are fair and transparent. For investors, understanding term SOFR helps gauge borrowing costs and the overall direction of interest rates in the economy.
consolidated debt financial
"restricting Boeing’s ability to permit consolidated debt in excess of 60%"
total capital financial
"consolidated debt in excess of 60% of Boeing’s total capital"
cross-default financial
"a cross-default with other debt in certain circumstances"
liquidity financial
"a covenant requiring Boeing to maintain liquidity of at least $5.0 billion"
Liquidity is how easily and quickly an asset or investment can be converted into cash without losing value. It matters to investors because higher liquidity means they can access their money quickly if needed, while lower liquidity can make it harder to sell assets promptly or at a fair price, potentially creating financial challenges. Think of it like trying to sell a common item versus a rare collectible—it's much easier to sell the common item fast.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 24, 2026, The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) entered into a $3.0 billion, 364-day revolving credit agreement (the “364-Day Credit Agreement”) with Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, Citibank as administrative agent, JPMorgan as syndication agent, and a syndicate of lenders as defined in the 364-Day Credit Agreement. This facility replaces Boeing’s previous $3.0 billion, 364-day revolving credit agreement, which was scheduled to terminate on August 24, 2026. Under the 364-Day Credit Agreement, Boeing will pay a fee of between 0.125% and 0.300% per annum on the commitments, depending on Boeing’s credit rating. Borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement that are based on SOFR will generally bear interest at an annual rate equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the 364-Day Credit Agreement) plus between 1.250% and 1.700% per annum, depending on Boeing’s credit rating. All other borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the highest of (1) the rate announced publicly by Citibank, from time to time, as its “base” rate, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) Term SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect on such day plus 1.00%, plus in each of (1), (2) and (3) between 0.250% and 0.700% per annum, depending on Boeing’s credit rating. The 364-Day Credit Agreement is scheduled to terminate on August 23, 2027, subject to Boeing’s right to, following payment of additional fees, convert outstanding borrowings into term loans with a maturity date that is the one-year anniversary of the termination date, as well as Boeing’s right to request that the lenders extend the term for an additional 364 days.

The 364-Day Credit Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including covenants restricting Boeing’s ability to permit consolidated debt (as defined in the 364-Day Credit Agreement) in excess of 60% of Boeing’s total capital (as defined in the 364-Day Credit Agreement), to incur liens, and to merge or consolidate with another entity and a covenant requiring Boeing to maintain liquidity (as defined in the 364-Day Credit Agreement) of at least $5.0 billion. Events of default under the 364-Day Credit Agreement include: (1) failure to pay outstanding principal or interest within five business days of when due, (2) determination that any representation or warranty was incorrect in any material respect when made, (3) failure to perform any other term, covenant or agreement, which failure is not remedied within 30 days of notice, (4) a cross-default with other debt in certain circumstances, (5) the incurrence of certain liabilities under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and (6) bankruptcy and other insolvency events. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders would have the right to accelerate and require the repayment of all amounts outstanding under the 364-Day Credit Agreement and would not be required to advance any additional funds.

Reference is hereby made to that certain five-year revolving credit agreement, dated as of May 15, 2024, among Boeing, Citibank and JPMorgan as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, Citibank as administrative agent, JPMorgan as syndication agent, and a syndicate of lenders as defined in such agreement (the "2024 Five-Year Credit Agreement") and to that certain five-year revolving credit agreement dated as of August 24, 2023, among Boeing, Citibank and JPMorgan as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, Citibank as administrative agent, JPMorgan as syndication agent, and a syndicate of lenders as defined in such agreement (the "2023 Five-Year Credit Agreement"). On August 24, 2026, the 2024 Five-Year Credit Agreement and the 2023 Five-Year Credit Agreement were amended to, among other things, extend the term of each such agreement for an additional 365 days and add a covenant requiring Boeing to maintain liquidity (as defined in each such agreement) of at least $5.0 billion. The 2024 Five-Year Credit Agreement, as amended, consists of $4.0 billion of total commitments and is now scheduled to terminate on May 15, 2030. The 2023 Five-Year Credit Agreement, as amended, consists of $3.0 billion of total commitments and is now scheduled to terminate on August 24, 2029. The agreements are otherwise subject to the same material terms and conditions as previously disclosed in Boeing's Forms 8-K dated May 15, 2024 and August 24, 2023.

The foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety by the 364-Day Credit Agreement, Amendment No. 1 and Extension to the 2024 Five-Year Credit Agreement, and Amendment No. 1 and Extension to the 2023 Five-Year Credit Agreement, which are filed as exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 hereto.

Certain of the lenders and their affiliates have performed, and may in the future perform, for Boeing and its subsidiaries, various banking, underwriting, and other financial services, for which they receive customary fees and expenses.
