Item 8.01
Other Events.
On April 30, 2026, Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a notice of redemption (the “Notice of Redemption”) to redeem up to $10,000,000 of the 9.80% First Lien Notes due 2028 (the “First Lien Notes”), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on May 18, 2026 (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Notes to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). Pursuant to the Indenture, dated December 18, 2025 (as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated April 24, 2026, the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as the trustee and the notes collateral agent, which governs 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 ten-day observation period, as specified in the Indenture. In the event the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on any day during the ten-day observation period is less than the floor price as set forth in the Indenture, 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 $10,000,000.
The Company is required to redeem $30,392,486 (the “Mandatory Redemption Amount”) in aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Notes by September 30, 2026 (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”) under the Indenture. This redemption will reduce the Mandatory Redemption Amount by the amount of the First Lien Notes so redeemed.
The Company undertook this partial redemption as part of its broader capital management and cash preservation strategy. 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 Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company expects to reduce ongoing cash interest obligations under the First Lien Notes due December 31, 2028.
The Company continues to evaluate 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.
