Proof Required?
If you bought Virgin Galactic (SPCE) or Social Capital Hedosophia (IPOA) stock between July 10, 2019 and August 4, 2022, you may be entitled to a share of an $8.5 million class action settlement. The lawsuit alleged that investors were misled by false or misleading statements about the company — a type of claim known as securities fraud. Virgin Galactic, the space tourism company founded by Richard Branson, went public through a merger with Social Capital Hedosophia, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). Investors claim they were harmed when the stock's true risks and the company's actual situation weren't properly disclosed during the class period. A settlement has been reached for $8.5 million, and eligible investors can now file a claim to potentially recover a portion of their losses. The deadline to file is August 13, 2026, so it's important to act before time runs out.

Who Was Eligible?

Who the settlement covered:

  • You purchased or acquired Virgin Galactic Holdings (ticker: SPCE) stock between July 10, 2019 and August 4, 2022 (inclusive)
  • You purchased or acquired Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. (ticker: IPOA) stock during the same class period

  • You are a U.S. resident or a foreign investor who traded on a U.S. exchange during the eligible period
  • You have documentation of your stock purchases, such as brokerage statements or trade confirmations

How Much Did It Pay?

The total settlement fund is $8.5 million. Individual payouts will depend on how many valid claims are filed, how many shares you purchased, the price you paid, and the losses you suffered. Because this is a securities case, the settlement administrator will typically calculate each claimant's "recognized loss" using a formula based on your purchase price and the timing of your trades. There is no published maximum individual payout at this time — your share of the fund will be determined after all claims are reviewed and verified. To maximize your potential recovery, make sure your claim is accurate and supported by documentation from your brokerage account.
