The board of directors of Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“SCH” and, after the Domestication as described below, “VGH, Inc.”), has unanimously approved (1) the domestication of SCH as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”); (2) the merger of: (x) Foundation Sub 1, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of SCH, with and into TSC Vehicle Holdings, Inc. (“Company A”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Vieco 10 Limited (“V10”), with Company A surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of VGH, Inc., (y) Foundation Sub 2, Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of SCH, with and into Virgin Galactic Vehicle Holdings, Inc. (“Company B”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of V10, with Company B surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of VGH, Inc. and (z) Foundation Sub LLC, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of SCH, with and into VGH, LLC, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of V10 (“Company LLC” and, collectively with Company A and Company B, the “VG Companies” and, together with V10, “VG”), with Company LLC surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of VGH, Inc., in each case, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 9, 2019, by and among SCH, V10 and the other parties thereto, attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A (the “Merger Agreement”), as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and (3) the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and documents related thereto. In connection with such business combination, SCH will change its name to “Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc.” As used in this proxy statement/prospectus, “VGH, Inc.” refers to SCH after the Domestication, including after such change of name.
As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, among other things, (1) each of the then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of SCH (the “SCH Class A ordinary shares”), will convert automatically, on aone-for-one basis, into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of VGH, Inc. (the “VGH, Inc. common stock”), (2) each then issued and outstanding redeemable warrant of SCH (the “SCH warrants”) will convert automatically into a redeemable warrant to acquire one share of VGH, Inc. common stock (the “VGH, Inc. warrants”), and (3) each then issued and outstanding unit of SCH (the “SCH units”) will convert automatically into a unit of VGH, Inc. (the “VGH, Inc. units”), with each VGH, Inc. unit representing one share of VGH, Inc. common stock andone-third of one VGH, Inc. warrant.
Accordingly, this prospectus covers (1) 3,780,768 VGH, Inc. units to be issued in the Domestication, (2) 65,228,822 shares of VGH, Inc. common stock to be issued in the Domestication (including shares included in the VGH, Inc. units described above) and (3) 22,999,981 VGH, Inc. warrants to be issued in the Domestication (including redeemable warrants included in the units described above).
The SCH units, SCH Class A ordinary shares and SCH warrants are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbols “IPOA,” “IPOA.U” and “IPOA.WS,” respectively. SCH will apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the business combination, of VGH, Inc. units, VGH, Inc. common stock and VGH, Inc. warrants on the NYSE under the proposed symbols , and , respectively. It is a condition of the consummation of the business combination described above that SCH receives confirmation from the NYSE that the securities have been conditionally approved for listing on the NYSE, but there can be no assurance such listing conditions will be met or that SCH will obtain such confirmation from the NYSE. If such listing conditions are not met or if such confirmation is not obtained, the business combination described above will not be consummated unless the NYSE condition set forth in the Merger Agreement is waived by the applicable parties.
