Boeing Acquires Spirit AeroSystems

Boeing has agreed to acquire Spirit AeroSystems in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $4.7 billion in equity (about $8.3 billion total including net debt), reintegrating Spirit's Boeing-related commercial operations and select aftermarket businesses. The deal brings roughly 15,000 Spirit teammates into Boeing, expands Boeing's production and MRO footprint, and preserves certain defense activities as an independent Spirit Defense subsidiary while requiring divestiture of some Airbus-related work packages.
