All securities being registered will be issued by SCH (after the Domestication), the continuing entity following the Domestication, which will be renamed “Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc.” (“VGH, Inc.”), as further described in the proxy statement/prospectus. As used herein, “VGH, Inc.” refers to SCH after the Domestication, including after such change of name. (2) The number of units of VGH, Inc. being registered (the “VGH, Inc. units”) represents the number of units of SCH (the “SCH units”) that were registered pursuant to the Registration Statements on Form S-1 (333-220130 and 333-220453) (together, the “IPO Registration Statement”) and offered by SCH in its initial public offering less the number of SCH units that have been separated, upon the request of the holder thereof, into the underlying SCH public shares (as defined below) and underlying SCH public warrants (as defined below). Each VGH, Inc. unit represents one VGH, Inc. public share (as defined below) and one-third of one VGH, Inc. public warrant (as defined below). The outstanding SCH units automatically will be converted by operation of law into VGH, Inc. units as part of the Domestication. (3) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, based on the average of the high and low prices of the units of SCH (the company to which VGH, Inc. will succeed following the Domestication) on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on August 2, 2019 ($10.9514 per unit). August 2, 2019 was the date for which the most recent reported high and low prices of the SCH units are available as of August 2, 2019 (such date being within five business days of the date that this registration statement was first filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)). This calculation is in accordance with Rule 457(f)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). (4) The number of shares of common stock of VGH, Inc. being registered represents the number of SCH public shares that, as of the date of the first filing of this registration statement, remain represented by the SCH units. See (2) above. (5) Pursuant to Rule 416(a) of the Securities Act, there are also being registered an indeterminable number of additional securities as may be issued to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. (6) Pursuant to Rule 457(g) of the Securities Act, no registration fee is payable. (7) The number of redeemable warrants to acquire shares of common stock of VGH, Inc. being registered represents the number of SCH public warrants that, as of the date of the first filing of this registration statement, remain represented by the SCH units. See (2) above. (8) The number of shares of common stock of VGH, Inc. being registered represents the number of Class A ordinary shares of SCH that were registered pursuant to the IPO registration statement and offered by SCH in its initial public offering (the “SCH public shares”) less the number of SCH public shares that are represented by the SCH units. See (2) above. The SCH public shares (including those that underlie the SCH units) automatically will be converted by operation of law into shares of common stock of VGH, Inc. in the Domestication (“VGH, Inc. public shares”). (9) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, based on the average of the high and low prices of the Class A ordinary shares of SCH (the company to which VGH, Inc. will succeed following the Domestication) on the NYSE on August 2, 2019 ($10.45 per Class A ordinary share). August 2, 2019 was the date for which the most recent reported high and low prices of the Class A ordinary shares of SCH were available as of August 2, 2019 (such date being within five business days of the date that this registration statement was first filed with the SEC). This calculation is in accordance with Rule 457(f)(1) of the Securities Act. (10) The number of redeemable warrants to acquire shares of common stock of VGH, Inc. being registered represents the number of redeemable warrants to acquire Class A ordinary shares of SCH that were registered pursuant to the IPO registration statement and offered by SCH in its initial public offering (the “SCH public warrants”) less the number of SCH public warrants that are represented by the SCH units. The SCH public warrants (including those that underlie the SCH units) automatically will be converted by operation of law into redeemable warrants to acquire shares of common stock of VGH, Inc. in the Domestication (“VGH, Inc. public warrants”). (11) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, based on the average of the high and low prices of the warrants of SCH (the company to which VGH, Inc. will succeed following the Domestication) on the NYSE on August 2, 2019 ($1.79 per warrant). August 2, 2019 was the date for which the most recent reported high and low prices of the warrants of SCH were available as of August 2, 2019 (such date being within five business days of the date that this registration statement was first filed with the SEC).
