Virgin Galactic Holdings tumbled on Friday after its billionaire chairman Chamath Palihapitiya offloaded shares worth about $213 million in the space-tourism company founded by Richard Branson.
Mr Palihapitiya, 44, who has helped drive the frenzied growth of blank-cheque companies, disposed of 6.2 million shares at an average price of $34.32 this week, based on a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
He still owns 15.8 million shares with his partner Ian Osborne through investment company Social Capital Hedosophia, amounting to about a 6.5 per cent stake.
Mr Palihapitiya previously sold shares worth almost $100m in December, filings show.
The latest transaction allows him to fund an investment to help fight climate change, he said. ....
