Item 4: Shareholder Proposal Regarding an Additional Report on Lobbying Activities The Board recommends AGAINST this proposal. The Board believes that our existing disclosures in this area make the proposal unnecessary. Boeing regularly engages across all levels of government and works with trade, industry, and civic groups that provide critical expertise Boeing maintains robust policies and procedures to promote the transparency of its lobbying and advocacy activities: Boeing’s Executive Vice President, Government Operations, reports regularly to the Board on Boeing’s lobbying and other advocacy activities Files both quarterly and semi-annual federal Lobbying Disclosure Act reports with Congress and makes public complete information about federal, state, local, and grassroots lobbying expenditures No contributions from corporate funds to federal, state, or local candidates or political parties or ballot initiatives in the last eight years Prohibits trade associations and other third-party organizations from using Boeing’s funds for any election-related political expenditure Boeing actively continues to seek ways to extend and enhance commitment to transparency - most recently: In 2020, began providing additional information about key trade associations to which we contribute In 2021, publicly committed to enhance website to provide more information on the Board’s oversight role and reorganize the content for ease of reference In January 2021, Boeing announced a temporary pause of political contributions from The Boeing Political Action Committee in light of the events of January 6, 2021, reflecting the Company’s commitment to always conduct its activities in this area in a responsible and transparent manner


SLIDE 17

The Board recommends AGAINST this proposal. The proposal, if implemented, could prevent shareholders from being consulted on key matters impacting Boeing. Written consent could allow a small group of shareholders to quietly accumulate large voting positions and take important corporate action without the waiting periods, disclosure rules, and other protections inherent in the shareholder meeting and voting process Current bylaws already permit the right of shareholders holding 25% or more of the outstanding shares to call a special shareholder meeting Additional governance practices already afford shareholders the right to regularly express their views and feedback and hold directors accountable: Annual director elections by majority voting Ability to nominate directors through proxy access Robust shareholder outreach program Item 5: Shareholder Proposal on Written Consent
