EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Boeing Company (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 19, 2023 for the sole purpose of disclosing the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future shareholder advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (“Say- on-Pay”).

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously reported, in a non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes held at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, a majority of the Company’s shareholders that voted on the matter indicated a preference to hold future Say-on-Pay votes every year. Consistent with the recommendation of the Board of Directors and the vote of the shareholders, the Company will continue to hold future advisory votes on named executive officer compensation on an annual basis until the occurrence of the next advisory vote on the frequency of Say-on-Pay votes, which is required to occur no later than the Company’s 2029 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
