In making your investment decision, you should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus relating to this offering that we may provide to you. Neither The Boeing
Company nor the underwriters have authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different. If anyone provides you with different or
inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. Neither The Boeing Company nor the underwriters are making an offer of these notes in any
jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted.
It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on the second business day after the date hereof (such
settlement cycle being referred to as "T+2"). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise.
Accordingly, purchasers will be expected to pay for their notes within two business days of the date hereof.

Use of Proceeds
We expect the net proceeds from this offering to be approximately $869.1 million, after deducting the
underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses totaling approximately
$1.5 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes. If
we do not use the net proceeds immediately, we may temporarily invest them in short-term, interest-

Optional Redemption
The notes will be redeemable at our option in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to

months prior to maturity of the 2022 notes, the 2027 notes and the 2047 notes, respectively), the notes

prospectus supplement) on the notes to be redeemed that would be due if the notes to be
redeemed matured on the Par Call Date (as defined in this prospectus supplement),

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not

including, the redemption date.

The present value will be determined by discounting the remaining principal and interest payments to

months), using the Treasury Rate (as defined in this prospectus supplement) applicable to such notes,
plus 10 basis points, 10 basis points and 15 basis points for the 2022 notes, the 2027 notes and the 2047

six months prior to maturity of the 2022 notes, the 2027 notes and the 2047 notes, respectively), we
may redeem the notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be

redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not
including, the redemption date. See "Description of Notes--Optional Redemption" for more
information.

Ranking
The notes will be our unsecured senior obligations. The notes will rank equally in right of payment
with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and will rank senior in
right of payment to any existing and future indebtedness that is subordinated to the notes. The notes
will be effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of
the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and liabilities
of our subsidiaries.

Certain Covenants
The indenture governing the notes limits our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries, among other
things, to:

·
create liens without equally and ratably securing the notes; and

·
engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions.

The indenture also limits our ability to engage in mergers, consolidations and certain sales of assets.
These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications, as described in the sections

titled "Description of Debt Securities--Limitation on Liens" and "Description of Debt Securities--
Sale and Leaseback Transactions" in the accompanying prospectus.

Additional Notes
We may, without notice to or consent of the holders or beneficial owners of any series of the notes,
issue additional notes in a separate offering having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity and other
terms as the notes of a particular series. The notes of such series and any such additional notes will
constitute a single series under the indenture.

No Listing
We do not intend to list the notes on any securities exchange or automated dealer quotation system.
The notes will be new securities for which there

S-3
Table of Contents
currently is no public market. See "Risk Factors--Risks Related to the Offering--There may not be

active trading markets for the notes" in this prospectus supplement.

Trustee
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.

Governing Law
The notes will be, and the indenture pursuant to which we will issue the notes is, governed by the laws
of the State of New York.

Risk Factors
Investing in the notes involves risks. See the section titled "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-5 of
this prospectus supplement and other information included or incorporated by reference in the
accompanying prospectus for a discussion of factors you should carefully consider before deciding to
invest in the notes.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/12927/000119312517045427/d331408d424b2.htm[2/16/2017 9:04:44 AM]

Table of Contents
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the notes is subject to certain risks. This prospectus supplement does not describe all of the risks of an investment in the
notes. You should consult your own financial and legal advisors about the risks entailed by an investment in the notes and the suitability of an
investment in the notes in light of your particular circumstances. For a discussion of the factors you should carefully consider before deciding to
purchase any notes that may be offered, please read "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2016, as well as those risk factors included below that are related to this offering. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently
known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect our business and operations. If any of the matters described in the risk
factors were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects could be materially adversely affected. In
such case, you could lose all or a portion of your investment.
Risks Related to the Offering
The notes are structurally subordinated to the liabilities of our subsidiaries.
The notes are obligations exclusively of The Boeing Company and not of any of our subsidiaries. A significant portion of our operations
is conducted through our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries are separate legal entities that have no obligation to pay any amounts due under the notes or
to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividends, loans or other payments. Except to the extent we are a creditor with recognized claims
against our subsidiaries, all claims of creditors (including trade creditors) and holders of preferred stock, if any, of our subsidiaries will have
priority with respect to the assets of such subsidiaries over our claims (and therefore the claims of our creditors, including holders of the notes).
Consequently, the notes will be structurally subordinated to all liabilities of any of our subsidiaries and any subsidiaries that we may in the future
acquire or establish. As of December 31, 2016, our subsidiaries had approximately $1.0 billion of outstanding debt.
Negative covenants in the indenture will have a limited effect.
The indenture governing the notes contains only limited negative covenants that apply to us and our subsidiaries. These covenants do not
limit the amount of additional debt that we may incur and do not require us to maintain any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth, revenues,
income, cash flows or liquidity. Accordingly, the indenture does not protect holders of the notes in the event we experience significant adverse
changes in our financial condition or results of operations. See the sections titled "Description of Debt Securities--Limitation on Liens" and
"Description of Debt Securities--Sale and Leaseback Transactions" in the accompanying prospectus. In light of the limited negative covenants
applicable to the notes, holders of the notes may be structurally or contractually subordinated to new lenders.
An increase in market interest rates could result in a decrease in the value of the notes.
In general, as market interest rates rise, notes bearing interest at a fixed rate generally decline in value because the premium, if any, over
market interest rates will decline. Consequently, if you purchase fixed rate notes and market interest rates increase, the market value of your fixed
rate notes may decline.
There may not be active trading markets for the notes.
The notes are a new issue of securities for which currently there is no trading market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes
on any securities exchange or any automated quotation system. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that trading markets for the notes will ever
develop or will be maintained. Further, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any market that may develop for the notes, your ability to
sell your notes or the prices at which you may be able to sell your notes. Future trading prices of the notes will

S-5
Table of Contents
depend on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, our financial condition and results of operations, the then-current ratings assigned to
the notes and the market for similar securities. Any trading markets that develop would be affected by many factors independent of and in addition
to the foregoing, including:

USE OF PROCEEDS
We expect the net proceeds from this offering to be approximately $869.1 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and
commissions and our estimated offering expenses totaling approximately $1.5 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for
general corporate purposes. If we do not use the net proceeds immediately, we may temporarily invest them in short-term, interest-bearing
obligations.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
The following description of the notes offered by this prospectus supplement is intended to supplement, and to the extent inconsistent to
replace, the more general terms and provisions of the debt securities described in the accompanying prospectus, to which we refer you. Each series
of notes is a separate series of debt securities. This description of the notes is only a summary and may not include all the information that is
important to you. You should read the indenture we refer to below and the notes for more details regarding our obligations and your rights with
respect to the notes. As used in this "Description of Notes," unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, all references to
"we," "us" and "ours," mean The Boeing Company and not its subsidiaries.
General
The notes will be issued as separate series of senior debt securities under a senior indenture dated February 1, 2003 between us and The
Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, or any successor trustee. The indenture has been filed as
an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are a part.
The 2022 notes will mature on March 1, 2022, the 2027 notes will mature on March 1, 2027 and the 2047 notes will mature on March 1,
2047, respectively, unless earlier redeemed, each at 100% of their respective principal amounts. The notes will be our senior unsecured obligations
and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other senior unsecured indebtedness from time to time outstanding. The notes will be
structurally subordinated to all liabilities of our subsidiaries, including trade payables.
The indenture does not limit the amount of notes, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness that we may issue under the indenture
and provides that notes, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness may be issued from time to time in one or more series.
The original principal amount of the 2022 notes will be $300,000,000. The original principal amount of the 2027 notes will be
$300,000,000. The original principal amount of the 2047 notes will be $300,000,000.
We may from time to time, without giving notice to or seeking the consent of the holders of the notes, issue debt securities having the
same terms and, in some cases, the public offering price and the first interest payment date as, and ranking equally and ratably with, the notes of
such series. Any additional debt securities having such similar terms, together with the notes of such series, will constitute a single series of
securities under the indenture, including for purposes of voting and redemptions. No such additional debt securities may be issued if an "event of
default" (as such term is defined in the accompanying prospectus) has occurred and is continuing with respect to the notes of such series.

in whose names the notes were registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding February 15 and August 15, respectively (whether
or not a business day). Interest on the 2047 notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
Principal and interest will be payable, and the notes will be transferable or exchangeable, at the office or offices or agency maintained by
us for this purpose. Payment of interest on the notes may be made at our option by check mailed to the registered holders.
Any payment otherwise required to be made in respect of notes on a date that is not a business day for the notes may be made on the
next succeeding business day with the same force and effect as if made on that date. No additional interest shall accrue as a result of a delayed
payment for the notes. A business day is defined in the indenture as a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks
in New York City are authorized or required by law to close.
The notes will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of the notes, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange. The notes of each series will be represented by one or
more global securities registered in the name of a nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). The notes will be available only in book-
entry form. Refer to "Book-Entry, Delivery and Form" below.
We will initially appoint the trustee at its corporate trust office as a paying agent, transfer agent and registrar for the notes. We will
cause each transfer agent to act as a co-registrar and will cause to be kept at the office of the registrar a register in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as we may prescribe, we will provide for the registration of the notes and registration of transfers of the notes. We may vary
or terminate the appointment of any paying agent or transfer agent, or appoint additional or other such agents or approve any change in the office
through which any such agent acts. We will provide you with notice of any resignation, termination or appointment of the trustee or any paying
agent or transfer agent, and of any change in the office through which any such agent will act.
Optional Redemption

2022 notes, the 2027 notes and the 2047 notes, respectively), the notes will be redeemable, as a whole or in part, at our option, at any time or from
time to time, on at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice to each registered holder of the series of notes to be redeemed, at a
redemption price equal to the greater of:

·
100% of the principal amount of the notes then outstanding to be redeemed; or

the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) on the notes being redeemed that
would be due if the notes to be redeemed matured on the Par Call Date, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual

basis points, 10 basis points and 15 basis points for the 2022 notes, the 2027 notes and the 2047 notes, respectively,
