Item 8.01

Other Events

Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) continues to evaluate and take 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.

The Company is required to redeem $30,392,486 (the “Mandatory Redemption Amount”) in principal amount of the 9.80% First Lien Notes due December 31, 2028 (the “First Lien Notes”) by September 30, 2026 (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”) under the Indenture. On May 18, 2026, the Company redeemed $10,000,000 in principal amount of the First Lien Notes such that $20,392,486 of the Mandatory Redemption Amount remains as of the date hereof. In addition, the Company is required to redeem no less than $10,130,829 in principal amount of the First Lien Notes by December 31, 2027 (the “2027 Amortization Payment Amount”). On June 2, 2026, the Company issued a notice of redemption (the “Notice of Redemption”) to redeem the remaining Mandatory Redemption Amount and all of the 2027 Amortization Payment Amount. If the Company successfully redeems the entire remaining Mandatory Redemption Amount and the 2027 Amortization Payment Amount, then no principal payment will be due on the First Lien Notes until March 31, 2028.

The Notice of Redemption provides for the redemption of up to $30,523,315 of the First Lien Notes on June 10, 2026 (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Redemption Price”). Pursuant to the indenture (as amended) related to the First Lien Notes, the Redemption Price will be paid by the Company by issuing shares of common stock to the holders of the First Lien Notes.

The amount of the First Lien Notes redeemed and the number of shares issued will be determined based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock over the five-day observation period. In the event the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on any day during the five-day observation period is less than the floor price as set forth in the indenture (as amended), the Company has elected to not redeem the related amount of the First Lien Notes. As a result, the aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date may be less than $30,523,315.

The Company undertook this redemption as part of its broader capital management and cash management strategy. This redemption, if successfully executed, will retire all mandatory principal payments of the First Lien Notes that are due between now to the end of 2027. This redemption also strategically aligns with the Company’s expected increase in spaceflight cadence and price. Management believes current market conditions provide 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 expects to reduce ongoing cash interest obligations under the First Lien Notes.
