Item 8.01 Other Events.
On January 23, 2013, The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) announced that its aircraft financing and leasing unit, Boeing Capital Corporation (“BCC”), plans to suspend BCC's obligation to file reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In connection with this announcement, Boeing has entered into guaranties, each dated as of January 23, 2013, with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas on behalf of the holders of BCC's outstanding debt securities issued under (i) an indenture dated as of April 15, 1987 and supplemented as of June 12, 1995 and (ii) an indenture dated as of August 31, 2000 (collectively, the “Guaranties”). The Guaranties provide for the full and unconditional guarantee of all the outstanding publicly issued debt securities of BCC, representing approximately $1.8 billion of principal in the aggregate. The amounts subject to the Guaranties have been previously disclosed as outstanding debt obligations in the consolidated financial reports filed by Boeing with the SEC, and Boeing will continue to report BCC as a segment in its SEC reports.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
