Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
As previously announced, Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) has taken proactive steps to improve liquidity, mitigate concentration risk associated with debt payments and enhance financial flexibility as it prepares for commercial operation in the fourth quarter of 2026 by issuing a notice of redemption on June 2, 2026 to partially redeem its 9.80% First Lien Notes due 2028 (the “First Lien Notes”).
The Company undertook this redemption as part of its broader capital management and cash management strategy. Management believes market conditions provided an opportunity to execute this transaction, and by redeeming a portion of the First Lien Notes in advance of the required due dates, the Company will reduce ongoing cash interest obligations under the First Lien Notes.
On June 10, 2026, the Company successfully redeemed $30,524,000 in principal amount of the First Lien Notes by issuing 6,734,960 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock to holders of the First Lien Notes that were redeemed. The amount of First Lien Notes redeemed and number of shares issued were determined based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock over a five-day observation period, as specified in the related indenture. As of June 10, 2026, after giving effect to the redemption, approximately $172 million in aggregate principal amount of First Lien Notes remained outstanding, and no principal payment will be due on such First Lien Notes until March 31, 2028.
The Shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
