Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 22, 2026 (the “Original 8-K”). This Form 8-K/A is being filed solely for the purpose of updating the disclosure under Item 3.02 of the Original 8-K.
Item 3.02.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On June 29, 2026, the Company successfully closed the privately negotiated exchange transaction (the “Exchange”) previously disclosed in the Original 8-K with a holder of its 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”). 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.
In the Exchange, $52,479,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes plus accrued interest were exchanged for an aggregate of 17,350,341 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock and pre-funded warrants. The holder of the 2027 Notes 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. The pre-funded warrants, which have a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per share, were 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.
With the completion of the Exchange, the Company has reduced the outstanding 2027 Notes by approximately 75%, from $70.4 million to $17.9 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding.
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.
