The agreement includes pricing terms for programs including the Boeing Next Generation 737, 737 MAX, 767, 777 freighters and 777-9, the 787 Dreamliner; Boeing 737 pricing based on production rates above and below current production levels; investments for tooling and capital for certain Boeing 737 rate increases; joint cost reduction programs for the Boeing 777X and 787 Dreamliner; Boeing's consent to Spirit’s acquisition of SRIF NV; and the parent company of Asco Industries.
