DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) filed by Virgin Orbit Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), deregisters all securities remaining unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-262326) (the “Registration Statement”), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 25, 2022, as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1 filed with the SEC on April 22, 2022.
As previously disclosed, on April 4, 2023, the Registrant and its domestic subsidiaries (together with the Registrant, the “Debtors”) commenced voluntary proceedings under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”). On July 31, 2023, the Court entered an order confirming the Fifth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Virgin Orbit Holdings, Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated July 31, 2023 (as amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”). On August 2, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Debtors filed a Notice of Effective Date with the Court and the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms. As of the Effective Date, and in accordance with the Plan, all outstanding shares of common stock of the Registrant were canceled and extinguished.
In connection with the foregoing, the offering pursuant to the Registration Statement has been terminated. In accordance with undertakings made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all securities that were registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
