BOEING launched concurrent offerings of 90m shares of common stock (par value $5 per share) and $5b depositary shares (1/20th interest per share; par value $1 per share); offering includes options for 13.5m shares/$750m depositary shares, increasing total raise to $19b. Goldman Sachs, BofA, Citigroup and J.P. Morgan are lead bookrunning managers.
MOODY'S says IAM rejection of Boeing contract offer has little bearing on its Baa3 rating. It believes deal will be reached, whereby company could accommodate union's objective of 40% compensation increase but not the pension demand.
