 Sub having performed in all material respects the obligations required to be performed by it under the Merger Agreement at or prior to the closing of the Merger and (3) the absence of a Parent Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or any event that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect since the date of the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of Holdings, Boeing and Merger Sub, including covenants restricting Holdings from soliciting alternative acquisition proposals, governing the conduct of the Company’s business during the period between the date of the Merger Agreement and completion of the Merger and relating to the parties’ efforts to consummate the Merger as promptly as reasonably practicable. The Merger Agreement includes provisions to facilitate the disposition by the Company to Airbus SE and its affiliates (“Airbus”) of the Spirit Airbus Business, as contemplated by the stock and asset purchase agreement between Spirit and Airbus SE described below under the sub-heading Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement with Airbus, and also includes provisions, which are consistent with provisions in such stock and asset purchase agreement, to facilitate the potential sale, subject to certain Boeing consent rights, by the Company to other third parties of specified assets and businesses.

The Merger Agreement includes termination provisions under which either Holdings or Boeing may terminate the Merger Agreement in various circumstances, including if the Merger has not been consummated by March 31, 2025, subject to three automatic three-month extensions if on each such date all of the closing conditions except those relating to regulatory approvals or the disposition of the Spirit Airbus Business have been satisfied or waived (such date, as so extended (if applicable), the “Outside Date”). Upon termination of the Merger Agreement in specified circumstances, Boeing would be required to pay to Holdings a termination fee of $300.0 million reduced (but not to less than zero) by the aggregate then-outstanding amount of cash advances to be repaid by the Company to Boeing, whether or not then due and payable, pursuant to the applicable agreements governing cash advances by Boeing to the Company.

Subject to satisfaction of the closing conditions in the Merger Agreement, the closing of the Merger is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2025. 

In connection with the proposed merger, Spirit and Boeing have each received a request for additional information (“second request”) from the Federal Trade Commission as part of the regulatory review process under the HSR Act.
