In making your investment decision, you should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus relating to this offering that we may provide to you. Neither The Boeing
Company nor the underwriters have authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different. If anyone provides you with different or
inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. Neither The Boeing Company nor the underwriters are making an offer of these notes in any jurisdiction
where the offer is not permitted.

Table of Contents
ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This document consists of two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering and other
matters relating to us and our financial condition. The second part is the accompanying prospectus, which gives more general information about securities
we may offer from time to time, some of which may not apply to this offering. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are part of a
registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") using the SEC's shelf registration rules. You should read
both this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, together with additional information described in the accompanying prospectus in the
sections titled "Where You Can Find More Information" and "Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference."
Any statement made in this prospectus supplement, in the accompanying prospectus or in a document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
prospectus supplement to the extent that a statement contained in this prospectus supplement or in any other subsequently filed document that is also
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus modifies or supersedes that
statement. Any statement so modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus
supplement or the accompanying prospectus. You should not assume that the information in this prospectus supplement, in the accompanying prospectus
and any free writing prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of those documents or that the information incorporated by
reference is accurate as of any date other than the date of the document incorporated by reference. The Boeing Company's business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus contain information about The Boeing Company and the notes. They also refer
to information contained in other documents that we file with the SEC.
The terms "Boeing," "we," "us" and "our" as used in this prospectus supplement refer to The Boeing Company.
MiFID II Product Governance. Any distributor subject to Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II") subsequently offering, selling or
recommending the notes is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the notes and determining the appropriate distribution
channels for the purposes of the MiFID II product governance rules under Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 ("Delegated Directive").
Neither Boeing nor any of the underwriters make any representations or warranties as to a distributor's compliance with the Delegated Directive.
The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to
any retail investor in any Relevant State. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point
(11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where
that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the
Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for
offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in a Relevant State has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the
notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in a Relevant State may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect our business and operations. If any of the matters described in the risk factors
were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects could be materially adversely affected. In such case, you
could lose all or a portion of your investment.
Risks Related to COVID-19
We face significant risks related to the spread of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") and the recent developments surrounding the global pandemic
have had, and will continue to have, significant effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. These risks include
impacts attributable to the suspension of operations at several of our production sites and potential limits on our near-term access to liquidity due to
challenges in the credit markets. We also face significant risks related to the global economic downturn and severe reduction in commercial air traffic
caused by the pandemic. These risks include materially reduced demand for our products and services, increased instability in our supply chain, and
challenges to the ongoing viability of some of our customers. We may face similar risks in connection with any future public health crises.
The COVID-19 pandemic has subjected our business, operations, financial performance, cash flows and financial condition to a number of risks, including,
but not limited to those discussed below.
Operations-related risks: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are facing increased operational challenges from the need to protect employee health
and safety, production site shutdowns, workplace disruptions and restrictions on the movement of people, raw materials and goods, both at our own
facilities and at our customers and suppliers. In particular, we have suspended operations in Puget Sound and South Carolina as well as at several other key
production sites. We have not previously experienced a complete suspension of our operations at these production sites and we are unable to predict when
operations will fully resume or what the ongoing impact of COVID-19-related operating restrictions will be. For example, even at production facilities that
remain open, we may experience additional operating costs due to social distancing requirements or other factors related to COVID-19 restrictions. Our
ability to predict the impact of the suspension on our business, operations, financial performance and financial condition is uncertain. We consult regularly
with relevant federal, state, and municipal health authorities regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, and we may suspend operations at additional production
sites based on their recommendations and/or workplace disruptions caused by COVID-19.
Many of our suppliers have also suspended operations, and may experience additional disruptions in the coming months. These actions have significantly
increased the costs required to meet our contractual commitments, and have had, and will likely continue to have, severe adverse impacts on our delivery
schedule in future periods and our ability to provide services to our customers and make progress on key development programs. The ultimate significance
of these disruptions to our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will depend greatly on how long the disruptions continue.
Any prolonged suspension of operations or delayed recovery in our operations, and/or any similar delay with respect to resumption of operations by one or
more of our key suppliers, or the failure of any of our key suppliers, would result in further challenges to our business, leading to a further material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Liquidity- and funding-related risks: The COVID-19 pandemic has also had a significant impact on, and created significant uncertainty regarding, our
liquidity. During the first quarter of 2020, net cash used by operating activities was $4.3 billion. At March 31, 2020, cash and short-term investments
totaled $15.5 billion. Our debt balance totaled $38.9 billion at March 31, 2020, up from $27.3 billion at December 31, 2019. We expect negative operating
cash flows in future quarters until deliveries resume and ramp up, and we will need to obtain additional financing in order to fund our operations and
obligations. Due to uncertainty related to COVID-19 and its impact on us and the aerospace industry, and the volatility in the capital markets generally,
access to credit markets may be reduced and we may have difficulty obtaining financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. In addition, certain of our
customers may also be unable to make timely payments to us. We are currently considering a range of options to provide us with additional liquidity, such
as additional issuances of public debt and/or various forms of debt supported by the U.S. Treasury Department or Federal Reserve System. However, a
number of factors could make it difficult for us to obtain sufficient funding from these and/or other sources in order to support our operations. These
factors include further disruptions in the global capital markets, a lack of access to U.S. government-backed funding, and/or continued declines in our
financial performance, outlook or credit ratings. The occurrence of any or all of these events would be expected to adversely affect our ability to fund our
operations and contractual commitments. In addition, downgrades in our credit ratings could adversely affect our cost of funds and related margins,
liquidity, competitive position and access to capital markets, and a significant downgrade could have an adverse impact on our businesses.
Customer-related risks: Commercial air traffic has fallen dramatically due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While this trend has impacted passenger traffic
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/12927/000119312520131122/d848621d424b2.htm[5/4/2020 8:33:32 AM]

most severely, near-term cargo traffic has also fallen significantly due to the global economic downturn and the reduction in cargo capacity on passenger
airplanes. Most airlines have significantly reduced their capacity, and many could implement further reductions in the near future. These capacity changes
are causing, and are expected to continue to cause, negative impacts to our customers' revenue, earnings, and cash flow, and in some cases may threaten
the future viability of some of our customers, potentially causing defaults within our customer financing portfolio, which was $2.3 billion as of March 31,
2020 and/or requiring us to remarket aircraft currently in backlog. Our customers may also lack sufficient liquidity to purchase new aircraft due to impacts
from the pandemic. We are also observing a significant increase in the number of requests for payment deferrals, contract modifications, lease
restructurings and similar actions, and these trends may lead to additional charges, impairments and other adverse financial impacts in our business over
time.
In addition to the near-term impact, there is risk that the industry implements longer-term strategies involving reduced capacity, shifting route patterns, and
mitigation strategies related to impacts from COVID-19 and the risk of future public health crises. As a result, there is significant uncertainty with respect
to when commercial air traffic levels will begin to recover, and whether and at what point capacity will return to and/or exceed pre-COVID-19 levels. The
COVID-19 outbreak also has increased, and its aftermath is also expected to continue to increase uncertainty with respect to global trade volumes, putting
significant negative pressure on cargo traffic. Any of these factors would have a significant impact on the demand for both single-aisle and wide-body
commercial aircraft, as well as for the services we provide to commercial airlines. In addition, a lengthy period of reduced industry-wide demand for
commercial aircraft would put additional pressure on our suppliers, resulting in increased procurement costs and/or additional supply chain disruption. To
the extent that the COVID-19 outbreak or its aftermath further impacts demand for our products and services or impairs the viability of some of our
customers and/or suppliers, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected, and those impacts could be material.
Other risks: The magnitude and duration of the global COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain. As the pandemic continues to adversely affect our business and
operating and financial results, it also is expected to have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the risk factors in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic may also affect our operating and financial results in a
manner that is not presently known to us or that we currently do not expect to present significant risks to our operations or financial results.

Risks Related to the Offering
The notes are structurally subordinated to the liabilities of our subsidiaries.
The notes are obligations exclusively of The Boeing Company and not of any of our subsidiaries. A significant portion of our operations is
conducted through our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries are separate legal entities that have no obligation to pay any amounts due under the notes or to make
any funds available therefor, whether by dividends, loans or other payments. Except to the extent we are a creditor with recognized claims against our
subsidiaries, all claims of creditors (including trade creditors) and holders of preferred stock, if any, of our subsidiaries will have priority with respect to the
assets of such subsidiaries over our claims (and therefore the claims of our creditors, including holders of the notes). Consequently, the notes will be
structurally subordinated to all liabilities of any of our subsidiaries and any subsidiaries that we may in the future acquire or establish. As of March 31,
2020, our subsidiaries had approximately $0.2 billion of outstanding debt.
Negative covenants in the indenture will have a limited effect.
The indenture governing the notes contains only limited negative covenants that apply to us and our subsidiaries. These covenants do not limit
the amount of additional debt that we may incur and do not require us to maintain any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth, revenues, income,
cash flows or liquidity. Accordingly, the indenture does not protect holders of the notes in the event we experience significant adverse changes in our
financial condition or results of operations. See the sections titled "Description of Debt Securities--Limitation on Liens" and "Description of Debt
Securities--Sale and Leaseback Transactions" in the accompanying prospectus. In light of the limited negative covenants applicable to the notes, holders of
the notes may be structurally or contractually subordinated to new lenders.
An increase in market interest rates could result in a decrease in the value of the notes.
In general, as market interest rates rise, notes bearing interest at a fixed rate generally decline in value because the premium, if any, over
market interest rates will decline. Consequently, if you purchase fixed rate notes and market interest rates increase, the market value of your fixed rate
notes may decline.
There may not be active trading markets for the notes.
The notes are new issues of securities for which currently there are no trading markets. We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any
securities exchange or any automated quotation system. The underwriters have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in each series of
notes. However, the underwriters are not obligated to do so, and any market-making with respect to any series of notes may be discontinued at any time
without notice. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that trading markets for the notes will ever develop or will be maintained. Further, there can be no

424B2
assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that may develop for the notes, your ability to sell your notes or the prices at which you may be able to sell
your notes. Future trading prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, our financial condition and results of
operations, the then-current ratings assigned to the notes and the markets for similar securities. Any trading markets that develop would be affected by
many factors independent of and in addition to the foregoing, including:

·
time remaining to the maturity of the notes;

·
outstanding amount of the notes;

·
the terms related to optional redemption of the notes; and

·
the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally.

Our credit ratings may not reflect all risks of your investment in the notes, and negative changes in our credit ratings may adversely affect your
investments in the notes.
Our credit ratings are an assessment by rating agencies of our ability to pay our debts when due. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in
our credit ratings will generally affect the market value of the notes. These credit ratings may not reflect the potential impact of risks relating to structure or
marketing of the notes. Agency ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security, and may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the
issuing organization. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's rating.
As a result of general economic uncertainty and the impact of the COVID-19, rating agencies have recently lowered our rating. S&P Global
Ratings lowered our rating from A- to BBB with a negative outlook, and from BBB with a negative outlook to BBB- with a stable outlook, on March 16,
2020 and April 29, 2020, respectively. On April 20, 2020, Moody's Investors Service lowered our rating from Baa1 to Baa2 with a negative outlook. Any
further actual or anticipated negative changes or downgrades in our credit ratings or ratings outlook or watch, including any announcement that our ratings
are under further review for a downgrade, could increase our corporate borrowing costs and affect the market value of the notes. In particular, the interest
rate payable on the notes offered hereby is subject to adjustment depending upon the ratings assigned to such notes as described in "Description of the
Notes--Interest Rate Adjustment of the Notes Based on Certain Rating Events."
