Spirit AeroSystems Holdings has released that its shareholders have voted in favour of the proposed acquisition by The Boeing Company during a special meeting held on January 31. This approval marks a significant step forward in the merger process, underscoring the confidence shareholders have in the strategic direction of the transaction.
The acquisition, which was initially announced in the summer of 2024, is anticipated to be finalised by mid-2025, subject to the fulfilment of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals from relevant authorities.
“Our shareholders’ resounding approval today represents an important milestone in our carefully planned merger with Boeing,” said Irene Esteves, Spirit AeroSystems Chief Financial Officer. “As we continue executing our transition plan, we remain focused on Spirit’s foundational principles of safety, compliance and quality.”
Until the transaction is officially completed, Spirit AeroSystems will continue to operate as an independent company, maintaining its commitment to delivering high-quality aero structures to its customers worldwide. The company will also continue to collaborate closely with Boeing to ensure a seamless integration process that benefits employees, customers, and stakeholders alike.
This merger is expected to strengthen Boeing’s supply chain, enhance operational efficiencies, and support the long-term sustainability of both companies within the aerospace industry. Further updates regarding the regulatory approval process and integration planning will be provided as they become available.
Spirit AeroSystems remains dedicated to transparency and will continue to communicate important developments as the acquisition progresses towards completion.
