Item 3.02.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On June 22, 2026, Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a privately negotiated exchange agreement with a holder of its 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) to exchange (the “Exchange”) approximately $52.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes held by such holder for the Shares (as defined below).

The Company entered into the Exchange to improve liquidity, manage its cash position and strengthen its balance sheet as it prepares for commercial operation in the fourth quarter of 2026. The holder of the 2027 Notes has agreed to accept the Shares in lieu of the cash payment obligation that they otherwise would be entitled to receive for the principal and interest under the 2027 Notes. Following the completion of the Exchange, the Company will reduce the outstanding 2027 Notes by approximately 75%, from $70.4 million to $17.9 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding.

The Exchange is expected to close on or about June 29, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. On the Closing Date, the Company will issue shares of the Company’s common stock/pre-funded warrants (collectively, the “Shares”), which will be determined over a five-day observation period beginning on June 22, 2026. One fifth (1/5th) of the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be exchanged (including accrued and unpaid interest) will be divided by the daily volume-weighted average price of the common stock (the “Daily VWAP”) for each respective trading day during the observation period. The five daily amounts will then be added together, and the resulting total number of Shares will be issued to the holder on the Closing Date. The pre-funded warrants, which have a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per share, are being issued in lieu of shares of the Company’s common stock in the Exchange solely for the holder to manage its beneficial ownership, and are intended to be economically equivalent to the shares of common stock.

The Daily VWAP will be subject to a floor of no lower than $3.03 and a cap of no higher than $4.09. The Daily VWAP will solely be used to determine the total number of Shares to be issued to the holder and will not impact the principal amount of the 2027 Notes being exchanged.

The issuance of the Shares by the Company is being made in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Shares will be issued only to investors that qualify as “qualified institutional buyers” (as such term is defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act) and institutional “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act). The Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such other jurisdictions.
