Bombardier announced this week it has reached amended definitive agreement to sell its aerostructures business in Casablanca, Belfast, and Dallas to Spirit AeroSystems Holding Inc. of Wichita, Kansas. The initial purchase agreement between the two companies was announced in October 2019 for a cash consideration of $500 million, plus the assumption of liabilities with a total carrying value in excess of $700 million. The amended agreement is for a cash consideration of $275 million, plus Spirit's assumption of liabilities valued at $824 million. As under the initial agreement, Spirit will acquire Bombardier's aerostructures activities and aftermarket services operations in Belfast, U.K. and Casablanca, Morocco.

The transaction is set to close on October 30, 2020, as all closing conditions have been met.
