On September 29, 2020, Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that Spirit AeroSystems, Inc., the Company’s direct wholly-owned subsidiary (“Spirit”), intends to offer senior secured first lien notes to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act (the “Offering”). A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the Offering, Spirit is providing prospective purchasers with an offering memorandum that includes certain additional information, including the information attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, which is incorporated by reference herein.

The information contained under this Item 7.01 in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”), including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, is being furnished and, as a result, such information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

This Report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any security in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

This Report, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based upon management’s current expectations, beliefs, assumptions and estimates, and on information currently available to the Company, all of which are subject to change, and are not guarantees of timing, future results or performance. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements, as discussed further in the attached press release. Additional information concerning potential factors that could affect the Company’s financial results are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended April 2, 2020 and July 2, 2020 and the Company’s other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
