• On June 22, 2026 Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. announced a privately negotiated exchange to convert approximately $52.5 million of its 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 into common stock and/or pre-funded warrants (the “Shares”). The Exchange is expected to close on or about June 29, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

Key Details

• Transaction date filed: June 22, 2026; expected Closing Date: on or about June 29, 2026.
• Amount exchanged: ≈ $52.5 million principal of 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027.
• Share calculation: number of Shares determined over a five‑day observation period starting June 22, 2026 using daily VWAP; VWAP floor $3.03 and cap $4.09.
• Pre-funded warrants issued (exercise price $0.0001) in lieu of shares for ownership management; issuance relies on Section 4(a)(2) exemption and will be limited to qualified institutional buyers and accredited institutional investors.

Why It Matters

• The exchange materially reduces the company’s convertible debt burden (about a 75% cut in 2027 Notes), which the company says is intended to improve liquidity, manage cash and strengthen the balance sheet as it prepares for commercial operations in Q4 2026. For investors, this lowers near-term debt obligations and dilution timing uncertainty tied to the 2027 Notes, while the VWAP floor/cap and use of pre-funded warrants affect the ultimate share count issued.
