2019 Annual Cash Bonus Awards
On March 10, 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the 2019 annual bonus awards for the named executive officers (the “Named Executive Officers”) of the Company as set forth below based on the achievement of designated Company performance metrics, as well as the Compensation Committee’s assessment of each executive’s individual performance during the Company’s 2019 fiscal year. The Compensation Committee decided to approve bonus amounts equal to 50% of the 2019 earned bonuses in light of recent COVID-19 (coronavirus) considerations. The Named Executive Officers’ other compensation for 2019 previously was reported by the Company in the Summary Compensation Table for 2019 included in the Company’s registration statement on FormS-1 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2020. However, as of the date of the FormS-1, 2019 annual bonus awards for the Named Executive Officers were not calculable, and therefore the amounts were omitted from the Summary Compensation Table for 2019. The table below updates the previously reported Summary Compensation Table by including the 2019 annual bonus awards payable to each Named Executive Officer, and revising each Named Executive Officer’s total compensation amount for 2019.
