Embraer SA (ERJ) on Tuesday said its shareholders approved its
proposed joint-venture partnership with Boeing Co. (BA).
During an extraordinary general shareholders meeting in Brazil,
96.8% of votes were in favor of the transaction, with participation
of about 67% of all outstanding shares.
The deal establishes a joint venture made up of the commercial
aircraft and services operations of Embraer. Boeing will hold an
80% ownership stake in the new company.
The transaction values Embraer's commercial aircraft operations
at $5.26 billion, with a value of $4.2 billion for Boeing's 80%
ownership stake in the joint venture.
Embraer shareholders also agreed to a joint venture to promote
and develop new markets for the multi-mission medium airlift
KC-390. Embraer would own a 51% stake in the joint venture.
The Brazilian government approved the proposal in January.
