Boeing is planning to draw down on a more than $13 billion loan it secured in January earlier than expected, a person familiar with the matter said Wednesday, as the spread of the coronavirus roils markets.
Boeing shares plunged close to 10% to lows not seen since mid-2017, shaving 155 points off the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
The funding was a delayed-draw loan, meaning Boeing could secure the funding but would tap into it later. The early drawdown on the loan was earlier reported by Bloomberg News.
