Proof Required?
Virgin Galactic and Social Capital Hedosophia have agreed to pay $8.5 million to settle a securities fraud class action lawsuit. The case claims that investors were misled about the company's business, leading to financial losses when the stock price dropped. If you bought Virgin Galactic (ticker: SPCE) or Social Capital Hedosophia (ticker: IPOA) stock during the relevant period, you may be entitled to a share of this settlement. This type of case — known as a securities class action — is common when a company's public statements are later alleged to have been misleading or incomplete. Shareholders who lost money as a result can band together to seek compensation. You don't need to have sued anyone yourself to be eligible; if you held the right stock at the right time, you may automatically qualify. The deadline to file a claim is August 13, 2026, so there's still time to check if you qualify and get your claim submitted. Class Action Buddy can walk you through the process and help make sure your claim is filed correctly.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You purchased or acquired Virgin Galactic Holdings (SPCE) stock between July 10, 2019, and August 4, 2022 (inclusive)
  • You purchased or acquired Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings (IPOA) stock during the same period, July 10, 2019, through August 4, 2022
  • You suffered a financial loss on those shares (i.e., you sold at a lower price than you paid, or the value declined)
  • You are a U.S. or international investor — securities settlements typically do not restrict eligibility by country, though details may vary
  • You have not previously released your claims related to this matter

How Much Can You Get?

The total settlement fund is $8.5 million. How much each eligible claimant receives will depend on several factors, including how many shares you purchased, the prices you paid and sold at, and how many total valid claims are submitted. Securities settlements typically use a "plan of allocation" to calculate individual payouts — meaning those who lost more money generally receive a larger share. Specific per-share or per-claimant payout amounts have not been publicly detailed at this time. As more information becomes available closer to the distribution date, figures will be updated. What's important to know now is that filing a valid claim before the August 13, 2026 deadline is the only way to receive any portion of the settlement fund.

How to File Your Claim

Filing your claim is quick and easy:

  • Confirm you purchased SPCE or IPOA stock between July 10, 2019, and August 4, 2022
  • Gather your trading records — brokerage statements, trade confirmations, or account histories showing your purchases and sales during the class period
  • Calculate your losses by comparing what you paid for the shares versus what you received when you sold (or the current value if you still hold them)
  • Complete the official claim form with your personal information, transaction details, and any required documentation
  • Submit your claim before the August 13, 2026 deadline — late claims are typically not accepted
