Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Extension of Termination Dates of Credit Agreements
On November 10, 2011, The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) entered into (1) a $2.3 billion, 364-day revolving credit agreement (the “364-Day Credit Agreement”) and (2) a $2.3 billion, five-year revolving credit agreement (the “5-Year Credit Agreement” and, together with the 364-Day Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”), in each case with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as syndication agent, Citibank, N.A. (the “Agent”) as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders as defined in the respective Credit Agreements. On October 15, 2012, the Agent notified Boeing that the lenders agreed to Boeing's request to extend each Credit Agreement for an additional 364 days (one year in the case of the 5-Year Credit Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the respective agreements. On October 30, 2013, the Agent notified Boeing that a syndicate of lenders agreed to Boeing's request to further extend each Credit Agreement for an additional 364 days (one year in the case of the 5-Year Credit Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the respective agreements. In addition, total commitments under the 364-Day Credit Agreement and 5-Year Credit Agreement were increased to approximately $2.39 billion and $2.45 billion, respectively. The 364-Day Credit Agreement is now scheduled to terminate on November 6, 2014, subject to Boeing's right to, following payment of additional fees, convert outstanding borrowings into term loans with a maturity date of November 6, 2015. The 5-Year Credit Agreement is now scheduled to terminate on November 10, 2018 with respect to approximately $2.39 billion of the total commitments, and on November 10, 2017 with respect to the remaining commitments. The Credit Agreements are otherwise subject to the same terms and conditions as previously disclosed in Boeing's Form 8-K dated November 10, 2011.
