Includes 24,196,417 Performance Shares at the target level. Depending on the level of achievement of performance goals, the Performance Shares may instead be paid at zero shares, at 30,245,521 shares at the maximum level, or at 5,164,700 shares at the minimum level. Because there is no exercise price associated with Performance Shares, such shares are not included in the weighted average price calculation.

(2)  

Includes 9,740,353 restricted stock units and other stock unit awards. Because there is no exercise price associated with these units, such units are not included in the weighted average price calculation.

(3)  

The Company may grant stock, restricted stock, stock unit, and performance share awards, as well as stock options, under its employee equity compensation plans.

(4)  

Pursuant to a program adopted by the Governance, Organization and Nominating Committee, effective February 22, 2004, under the Company’s 2003 Incentive Stock Plan, each of our nonemployee directors will receive the following automatic grants: (a) a stock option to purchase

 


 

3,000 shares of Boeing stock immediately following the first annual meeting of shareholders held after the director is first elected or appointed, (b) a stock option to purchase 2,400 shares immediately following each annual meeting thereafter, and (c) $40,000 in value of deferred stock units that are awarded at the same time that the director’s annual cash retainer is paid.

(5)  

The table does not include stock options that we assumed in connection with our acquisition of McDonnell Douglas Corporation. The assumed options are for the purchase of 1,222,000 shares of Boeing stock and have a weighted-average exercise price of $14.41 per share. In the event that any assumed option is not exercised, no further option to purchase shares of Boeing stock will be issued in place of such unexercised option.
