 executives to own significant amounts of Boeing stock. Senior executives are required to attain and maintain throughout their term of employment with us the following investment position in Boeing stock and stock equivalents: Senior executives must fulfill this requirement within five years after assuming the executive position to which the requirement applies. During the five-year period, executives are expected to accumulate and hold qualifying equity until they meet the minimum stock ownership requirement. In addition, executives must hold all newly vested stock until their minimum stock ownership requirement has been satisfied. Shares owned directly by the executive as well as time-vested RSUs, Career Shares (which are stock unit awards granted prior to 2006), and investments in Boeing stock held in the Boeing 401(k) and our nonqualified deferred compensation plans are included in calculating ownership levels. Shares underlying unexercised stock options and PRSUs do not count toward the ownership guidelines. Each year, the Compensation Committee reviews the ownership position of each executive officer as well as a summary covering all senior executives. In assessing stock ownership, the average daily closing stock price over a one-yearperiod (ending September 30 of each year) is used. This approach mitigates the effect of stock price volatility and is consistent with the objective of requiring long-term, sustained stock ownership.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Each NEO serving in an executive officer position on December 31, 2024 (including Mr. Ortberg) satisfied the applicable stock ownership requirement as of September 30, 2024. Granting Practices The Compensation Committee (or, with respect to our CEO, the Board) typically grants long-term incentiveawards to executive officers each February, and the Board meeting date is generally the effective grant date for the grants. However, in 2024 and in connection with design changes implemented following the January 2024 accident, long-term incentive awards for our executive officers were granted in March.The grant date fair market value of RSUs and PRSUs is determined by reference to the average of the high and low prices of a share of Boeing common stock on the grant date. For stock options, the exercise price is determined by reference to the same fair market value, with any applicable premium applied (120% for stock options granted to our CEO in connection with his hire). Executive officers who join the Company after the annual grant date are generally eligible for their first long-term incentive awards on the next regular annual grant date or upon or shortly after hire.The Committee does not take material nonpublic
