Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc
- On June 2, 2026, Virgin Galactic issued notice to redeem up to $30.5M of its 9.80% First Lien Notes due 2028, payable in common stock.
- $10M already redeemed May 18; remaining mandatory redemption of $20.4M due Sept 30, 2026, plus $10.1M due Dec 31, 2027 are targeted.
- Redemption price at par plus accrued interest, paid via shares based on 5-day VWAP with a floor price; partial redemption possible if price below floor.
- Successful redemption would eliminate all mandatory principal payments until March 31, 2028, and reduce ongoing cash interest obligations.
- Company expects to begin commercial operations in Q4 2026 and cites improved liquidity and capital management as rationale.
