Business Wire
Company Intends to Use Any Proceeds to
Further Accelerate the Expansion of Its Next Generation Spaceflight
Fleet, Including the Production of an Additional Mothership
Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPCE) (“Virgin Galactic”
or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a sales
agreement under which it may offer and sell shares of its common
stock (the “Shares”) having an aggregate offering price of up to
$300 million from time to time pursuant to an “at the market”
program (the “ATM Program”).
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from any sales of
its common stock under the ATM Program to further accelerate the
development and production of its next-generation spaceflight
fleet, including an additional mothership and third and fourth
Delta Class spaceships. The Company may also use a portion of any
net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including working
capital and general and administrative matters.
Any sales under the ATM Program will be through Jefferies LLC,
as sales agent, by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at
the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, including by means of ordinary brokers’
transactions, to or through a market maker, directly on or through
any national securities exchange or facility thereof, a trading
facility of a national securities association, an alternative
trading system or any other market venue, in the over-the-counter
market, in privately negotiated transactions or through a
combination of any such methods. Sales may be made at prevailing
market prices at the time of the sale, at prices related to
prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices and, as a result,
sales prices may vary.
The ATM Program will be made pursuant to the Company’s shelf
registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-272826) filed with
the SEC on June 22, 2023. Prospective investors should read the
prospectus contained in the registration statement and the
prospectus supplement relating to the ATM Program (including the
documents incorporated by reference therein) for more complete
information about the Company and the ATM Program, including the
risks associated with investing. Copies of the prospectus
supplement and related prospectus may be obtained from Jefferies

There can be no assurance that the Company will sell any shares
under the ATM Program. The timing of any sales and the number of
shares sold, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be
determined by the Company.
