Virgin Orbit shares fell 47% post-launch after the satellite company told employees it would be ceasing operations “for the foreseeable future” as the satellite company said it was unable to secure financing CNBC.
The report quoted CEO Dan Hart breaking the news at an all-stakeholder meeting on Thursday. Virgin Orbit will lay off about 90% of its workforce.
Earlier this month, the company had furloughed employees as it sought a funding lifeline.
