This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to reflect certain adjustments that have been made to prior year consolidated financial statements of The Boeing Company (the “Company”) that were previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company on February 9, 2009 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. These adjustments are being filed for purposes of incorporation by reference into any future registration statements, including a Registration Statement on Form S-3 that we currently expect to file in respect of shares expected to be contributed to the Company’s U.S. pension plans. The financial statements and summary of business segment data reflecting adjustments for the following items, previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1:
