<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
February&nbsp;21, 2007, Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc., (the
&#147;Registrant&#148;) filed a
registration statement on Form S-8 (Reg. No.&nbsp;333-140824)(the
&#147;Prior Registration Statement&#148;) with the
Securities and Exchange Commission registering the offer and sale of 418,999 shares of Class&nbsp;A
common stock , $0.01 par value per share (&#147;Class&nbsp;A Shares&#148;) under the Spirit AeroSystems Holdings,
Inc., Short-Term Incentive Plan (the &#147;STIP&#148;) and 325,450 Class&nbsp;A Shares under the Amended and
Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the &#147;LTIP&#148;). The Registration Statement also registered the
offer and sale of 418,999 shares of Class&nbsp;B common stock, $0.01 par value per share (&#147;Class&nbsp;B
Shares&#148;) under the STIP Plan and 325,450 Class&nbsp;B Shares under the LTIP Plan.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
February&nbsp;4, 2008, the STIP was amended by the adoption of the Spirit AeroSystems Holdings,
Inc. Amended and Restated Short-Term Incentive Plan and the LTIP was amended by the adoption of the
Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc., Second Amended and Restated Long Term Incentive Plan (the
&#147;Amended and Restated STIP,&#148; and the &#147;Second Amended and Restated LTIP,&#148; respectively, and
collectively the &#147;Amended and Restated Plans&#148;). The Amended and Restated Plans are also sometimes
referred to generally as the STIP and the LTIP, with the intent that the terms refer to the
originally registered plans or the plans as amended to date, as the context indicates. The
February&nbsp;4, 2008, amendments to the STIP and the LTIP were approved by the Registrant&#146;s
shareholders at their annual meeting on April 22, 2008.

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is (i) a new registration statement and (ii)
 a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registrant's registration statement on
 Form S-8 (registration No. 333-140824). See Explanatory Note below.
(2)
Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee. Pursuant to Rule
457(h) under the Securities Act, the proposed maximum offering price per share and the
proposed maximum offering price in respect of the Plan have been determined based on the
average of the high and low prices reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape on
April 18, 2008.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
On
February 21, 2007, Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc., (the
"Registrant") filed a
registration statement on Form S-8 (Reg. No. 333-140824)(the
"Prior Registration Statement") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission registering the offer and sale of 418,999 shares of Class A
common stock , $0.01 par value per share ("Class A Shares") under the Spirit AeroSystems Holdings,
Inc., Short-Term Incentive Plan (the "STIP") and 325,450 Class A Shares under the Amended and
Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"). The Registration Statement also registered the
offer and sale of 418,999 shares of Class B common stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Class B
Shares") under the STIP Plan and 325,450 Class B Shares under the LTIP Plan.
On
February 4, 2008, the STIP was amended by the adoption of the Spirit AeroSystems Holdings,
Inc. Amended and Restated Short-Term Incentive Plan and the LTIP was amended by the adoption of the
Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc., Second Amended and Restated Long Term Incentive Plan (the
"Amended and Restated STIP," and the "Second Amended and Restated LTIP," respectively, and
collectively the "Amended and Restated Plans"). The Amended and Restated Plans are also sometimes
referred to generally as the STIP and the LTIP, with the intent that the terms refer to the
originally registered plans or the plans as amended to date, as the context indicates. The
February 4, 2008, amendments to the STIP and the LTIP were approved by the Registrant's
shareholders at their annual meeting on April 22, 2008.
2
The Amended and Restated STIP increased the number of Class A Shares authorized under the STIP
by 2,000,000 shares (for an aggregate number of Class A Shares issuable under the STIP of 2,800,000
shares) and also provided that from and after the approval of the adoption of the Amended and
Restated STIP by the Registrant's shareholders, all future grants of shares under the STIP will be
made only in Class A Shares and not Class B Shares. The Second Amended and Restated LTIP increased
the number of shares authorized under the LTIP by 3,000,000 Class A Shares (for an aggregate number
of Class A Shares issuable under the LTIP of 3,400,000 shares) and also provided that from and
after the approval of the adoption of the Amended and Restated LTIP by the Registrant's
shareholders, all future grants of shares under the LTIP will be made only in Class A Shares and
not Class B Shares.
Pursuant to Form S-8 and
to General Instruction E of Form S-8 and Rule 429 and the undertaking in Item 9(a)(3)
of the Prior Registration Statement to remove from registration "any securities being sold that remain
unsold after termination of the offering," this Registration
Statement and Post-Effective Amendment to Registration Statement No. 333-140824 is being filed to:
a.
Increase by 2,000,000 the number of Class A Shares registered for issuance under
the STIP;
b.
Increase by 3,000,000 the number of Class A Shares registered for issuance under
the LTIP; and
c.
Remove from registration all Class B Shares registered under the Registration
Statement that remain unissued under the STIP and the LTIP.
The contents of the Registration Statement (File No. 333-140824) are incorporated herein by
reference.
