Shares beneficially owned by the Virgin Filers are not the subject of this Schedule 13D and accordingly, none of the Virgin Filers is included as a Reporting Person. For a description of the relationship between the Reporting Persons and the Virgin Filers, see Item 4 below.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Prior to the initial public offering of Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. (“SCH” ), a Cayman Islands exempted company and the predecessor in interest to the Issuer, Sponsor purchased 14,375,000 Class B ordinary shares of SCH for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share (the “Founder Shares”) and in connection with such initial public offering purchased warrants to purchase 8,000,000 Class A ordinary shares of SCH for an aggregate purchase price of $12.0 million, or $1.50 per warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants”). On September 13, 2017, SCH effected a pro rata share capitalization resulting in an increase in the total number of Founder Shares outstanding from 14,375,000 to 17,250,000 in order to maintain the ownership of Founder Shares by the Sponsor at 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Issuer upon consummation of its initial public offering.

Sponsor obtained the funds to purchase the Founder Shares and the Private Placement Warrants from its working capital.

On October 25, 2019, in connection with the closing of the Business Combination (as defined herein), the Founder Shares automatically converted into 15,750,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for no additional consideration.

Mr. Palihapitiya obtained the funds for the purchase of these shares from the proceeds of a Loan & Guaranty Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) entered into with Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch on October 25, 2019. As security for his obligations under the Loan Agreement, Mr. Palihapitiya pledged the 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Security and Pledge Agreement, dated as of October 25, 2019, with Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch.

Stockholders’ Agreement

On October 25, 2019, the Issuer entered into a Stockholders’ Agreement (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”) with Vieco US, Sponsor and Mr. Palihapitiya (together with Vieco US and the Sponsor, the “Voting Parties”), which sets forth, among other things, certain rights and obligations of the parties with respect to: the corporate governance of the Issuer, including director designation rights and the identity of the Chairperson of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”); voting rights; and approval rights and limitations with respect to certain transactions.

Director Designation

For so long as Sponsor and Mr. Palihapitiya collectively beneficially own Common Stock representing 90% or more of the Common Stock owned by Sponsor and Mr. Palihapitiya immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, Mr. Palihapitiya may designate two individuals to serve on the Board. In the event that Sponsor and Mr. Palihapitiya collectively beneficially own less than 90% of the Common Stock but 50% or more of the Common Stock owned by Sponsor and Mr. Palihapitiya immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, Mr. Palihapitiya may designate one director to serve on the Board. In the event that Sponsor and Mr. Palihapitiya collectively beneficially own less than 50% of the Common Stock owned by Sponsor and Mr. Palihapitiya immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, Mr. Palihapitiya will not have the right to designate any directors. Upon any decrease in the number of directors that Mr. Palihapitiya is entitled to designate for nomination to the Board, Mr. Palihapitiya shall take all necessary action to cause the appropriate number of designees to offer to tender their resignation, effective as of the next annual meeting of stockholders of Issuer.

At the closing of the Business Combination, Mr. Palihapitiya and Adam Bain were designated to serve on the Board.

Voting Rights

Pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, each of the Issuer and the Voting Parties have agreed not to take, directly or indirectly, any actions (including removing directors in a manner inconsistent with the Stockholders’ Agreement) that would frustrate, obstruct or otherwise affect the provisions of the Stockholders’ Agreement. Each Voting Party will vote all of its shares of Common Stock held by such Voting Party in such manner as may be necessary to elect and/or maintain in office as members of the Board those individuals designated in accordance with the Stockholders’ Agreement and to otherwise effect the intent of the provisions of the Stockholders’ Agreement.

Registration Rights Agreement

At the closing of the Business Combination, the Issuer, Vieco US, the Sponsor and Mr. Palihapitiya entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Issuer has agreed to register for resale certain shares of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Issuer that are held by the parties thereto from time to time. The Registration Rights Agreement contains certain restrictions on transfer with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by Sponsor following the Business Combination, including a two-year lock-up of such shares.
