Additional Meeting Information. We have designed the format of the virtual Annual Meeting so that shareholders have the same rights and opportunities to vote and participate as they would have at a physical meeting. Shareholders will be able to submit questions online before and during the meeting, providing our shareholders with the opportunity for meaningful engagement with the Company. We will endeavor to answer as many questions submitted by shareholders as time permits. We reserve the right to exclude questions regarding topics that are not pertinent to meeting matters or company business. If we receive substantially similar questions, we may group such questions together and provide a single response to avoid repetition. In the event of technical difficulties with the Annual Meeting, we expect that an announcement will be made on www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BA2021. If necessary, the announcement will provide updated information regarding the date, time, and location of the Annual Meeting. Any updated information regarding the Annual Meeting will also be posted on our Investor Relations website at https://investors.boeing.com/investors/events-and-presentations/.
