Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 12, 2019, The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) and Spirit AeroSystems, Inc. (“Spirit”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), executed a Memorandum of Agreement (the “MOA”) relating to Spirit’s production of aircraft with respect to the B737 program. As previously announced by the Company on April 5, 2019, Spirit will maintain its delivery rate of 52 shipsets per month with respect to the B737 program following Boeing’s announced temporary adjustment in the production rate from 52 to 42 aircraft per month. The MOA establishes that all B737 shipsets produced in excess of Boeing’s production rate (collectively, the “excess shipsets”) will be deemed to be delivered to Boeing “FOB” at Spirit’s facilities, which will trigger Boeing’s payment obligations for the excess shipsets. Pursuant to the MOA, if requested by Boeing and Spirit has available storage space, Spirit will maintain the excess shipsets at Spirit’s facilities; however, title to and risk of any loss of or damage to the excess shipsets will be transferred to Boeing except to the extent loss or damage results from Spirit’s fault or negligence. Pursuant to the MOA, Spirit has agreed to be responsible for any incremental costs associated with storage of the excess shipsets. The parties also agreed to certain advance payments for material purchases (all of which are repayable).

 

The MOA is effective as of April 12, 2019 and continues until May 1, 2020.

 

The foregoing description of the MOA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the MOA, which will be filed as an exhibit to the registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2019, subject to certain omissions of confidential portions.
