You are required to accept and acknowledge the terms and conditions of the Option within forty-five (45) days of the date this Notice is delivered to you, through the mechanism and procedures determined by the Company, as a condition to receiving the Option. The terms and conditions of the Option are as follows:

1.Number of Shares Subject to Option. The Option gives you the right to purchase up to [____] shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at the exercise price and on the terms set forth in this Notice.

2.Exercise Price. [120% of Grant Date FMV].

3.    Type of Option. The Option is granted as a non-qualified stock option. Non-qualified stock options are considered ordinary income when exercised and are taxed accordingly. The amount of ordinary income is the difference between the exercise price and the price on the date the Option or a portion of it is exercised.

4.Vesting and Exercisability of Option. The Option will vest in full and become exercisable on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Vesting Date”), provided the Option has not otherwise expired. The Option is granted on the condition that you remain continuously employed by the Company or a Related Company from the Grant Date through the Vesting Date.

5.Adjustment in Number of Shares Subject to Option. The number of shares subject to the Option will be adjusted proportionately for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from any stock split, combination or exchange of Common Stock, consolidation, spin-off or recapitalization of Common Stock, or any similar capital adjustment or the payment of any stock dividend.

6.Impact of Certain Terminations.

6.1 In the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date by reason of layoff, disability, or death, your unvested Option will vest in full. For purposes of this Award, “disability” means a disability entitling you to benefits under any long-term disability policy sponsored by the Company or a Related Company.

6.2 In the event your employment is terminated prior to the Vesting Date for any reason (including for cause and resignation) other than those reasons described above in this Section 6, the Option and all rights to exercise the Option will immediately be forfeited and canceled.

7.Expiration of Vested Option. As long as you remain employed by the Company or a Related Company, your vested Option will expire after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date (or [insert date 10 years from Grant Date]).

7.1 If your employment with the Company terminates due to layoff, disability, or death, your vested Option will expire at the earlier of five (5) years from your termination date or [insert date 10 years from Grant Date].

7.2 If your employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated for cause, your vested Option will expire upon your termination.

7.3 If your employment with the Company terminates for any reason other than those reasons described above in this Section 7, your vested Option will expire at the earlier of ninety (90) days from your termination date or [insert date 10 years from Grant Date].

8.Method of Exercise.

8.1 You may exercise the Option by giving written notice to the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, which will state your election to exercise the Option and the number of whole shares for which you are exercising the Option, and by completing such other documents and procedures as may be required by the Company for exercise of the Option. The notice must be accompanied by full payment of the exercise price for the number of shares you are purchasing. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, you may make this payment in any one or combination of the following:

(a)    check acceptable to the Company;

(b)    wire transfer;

(c)    tendering by attestation shares of Common Stock you already own that on the day prior to the exercise date have a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate exercise price of the shares being purchased under the Option;

(d)    delivery of a properly executed exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions to a brokerage firm designated or approved by the Company to deliver promptly to the Company the aggregate amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Option exercise price and any tax withholding obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise, all in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board; or

(e)    any other method as the Committee may permit in its sole discretion.

8.2It is your responsibility to be aware of your Option’s expiration date so that you may consider whether or not to exercise the Option before it expires. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Option’s expiration date the closing price of one share of the Common Stock exceeds the per share Exercise Price, you have not exercised the Option and the Option has not expired, you will be deemed to have exercised the Option on such day with payment made by withholding the shares otherwise issuable in connection with the exercise of the Option. In such event, the Company shall deliver to you the number of shares for which the Option was deemed exercised, less the number of shares required to be withheld for the payment of the total purchase price and required withholding taxes; provided, however, any fractional Share shall be settled in cash, rounded down to the nearest $.01.

9.    Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of any portion of an Option, you must make such arrangements as the Company may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, provincial, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise.

10.    Transferability. The Option is not transferable except by will or by laws of descent and distribution and during your lifetime the Option may be exercised only by you, your guardian or your legal representative. The Plan permits exercise of the Option by the personal representative of your estate or the beneficiary thereof following your death. The Option may be exercised only for whole shares, and may not be exercised for less than a reasonable number of shares at any one time, as determined by the Compensation Committee. You may designate a beneficiary to receive your Option in the event of your death, on a Company-approved form, who may exercise the Option after your death.

CHICAGO, June 30, 2021—The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] today named Brian West as the company’s executive vice president and chief financial officer effective August 27, 2021.

West will also oversee the company’s business transformation efforts and will have executive responsibility for the company’s global financing arm, Boeing Capital Corporation. He will report to Boeing President and CEO David Calhoun and will serve on the company's Executive Council.

“Brian is the ideal executive to serve as Boeing’s next CFO given his significant financial management and long-term strategic planning experience in complex global organizations across the aerospace, manufacturing and services industries,” said Calhoun. “I have had the pleasure of working with Brian previously, and he is an exceptional leader whose broad operational expertise and commitment to transparency with stakeholders will advance our efforts as we continue our focus on safety and quality, improving our performance and transforming our company for the future.”

He previously was a board member of Future 5, an organization that helps under-resourced students in Stamford, CT reach their full potential.

West holds a bachelor’s degree in Finance from Siena College and a Master’s in Business Administration from the Columbia Business School.

West succeeds Greg Smith, who previously announced his plans to retire, effective in early July. The company has named Dave Dohnalek, currently Boeing’s senior vice president and Treasurer, to the role of interim CFO until West joins the company in late August.

“I want to thank Greg again for his outstanding contributions to our employees, customers, communities and our company throughout his more than thirty years of service with Boeing,” said Calhoun. “I also want to thank Dave for assuming interim leadership of our Finance organization. With decades of executive leadership experience at Boeing across treasury, investor relations, financial planning and more, Dave is a highly respected and effective leader who will bring informed and balanced guidance to our Finance organization during this transition period.”
