(Nasdaq: RKLB) (\u201cRocket Lab\u201d or \u201cthe Company\u201d), a leading launch and space systems company, today announced it has been selected as a successful bidder and is finalizing an asset purchase agreement for the purchase of certain Long Beach California aerospace production and manufacturing assets from Virgin Orbit Holdings, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (\u201cVirgin Orbit\u201d) in Virgin Orbit\u2019s Chapter 11 bankruptcy auction.<\/p>\n<p>\nRocket Lab\u2019s successful bid of approximately $16.1 million includes the assumption of the lease to Virgin Orbit\u2019s 144,000+ square foot headquarters and manufacturing complex at 4022 E. Conant St. in Long Beach, California (the \u201cConant Facility\u201d), and certain production assets, machinery, and equipment located there. The successful bid does not include the purchase of Virgin Orbit\u2019s Boeing 747 aircraft, launch vehicles or mobile launch assets for its rockets, or other Virgin Orbit facilities, inventory and assets. The purchase remains subject to finalizing the purchase agreement and approval of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware administering Virgin Orbit\u2019s Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases and other customary closing conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe combination of these assets with Rocket Lab\u2019s existing production, manufacturing, and test capabilities is expected to advance the production of Rocket Lab\u2019s larger launch vehicle, Neutron. Rocket Lab will not be integrating Virgin Orbit\u2019s launch system within its existing launch services.<\/p>\n<p>\nRocket Lab CEO and Founder, Peter Beck, says: \u201cRocket Lab is a global industry leader in launch, and our new, larger rocket Neutron will bring added reliability, reusability, and innovation to the launch sector. With Neutron\u2019s design and development well-advanced, this transaction represents a capital expenditure savings opportunity to augment our production capability to bring Neutron to the launch pad quickly to serve our customers and their future success. Securing the lease to the Conant Facility adds to our existing presence in Long Beach and provides co-located engineering, manufacturing, and test capabilities for our Neutron team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n+ ABOUT Rocket Lab<\/p>\n<p>\nFounded in 2006, Rocket Lab is an end-to-end space company with an established track record of mission success. We deliver reliable launch services, satellite manufacture, spacecraft components, and on-orbit management solutions that make it faster, easier and more affordable to access space. Headquartered in Long Beach, California, Rocket Lab designs and manufactures the Electron small orbital launch vehicle, the Photon satellite platform and the Company is developing the large Neutron launch vehicle for constellation deployment. Since its first orbital launch in January 2018, Rocket Lab\u2019s Electron launch vehicle has become the second most frequently launched U.S. rocket annually and has delivered 161 satellites to orbit for private and public sector organizations, enabling operations in national security, scientific research, space debris mitigation, Earth observation, climate monitoring, and communications. Rocket Lab\u2019s Photon spacecraft platform has been selected to support NASA missions to the Moon and Mars, as well as the first private commercial mission to Venus. Rocket Lab has three launch pads at two launch sites, including two launch pads at a private orbital launch site located in New Zealand and a third pad in Virginia.

These forward-looking statements are based on Rocket Lab\u2019s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond Rocket Lab\u2019s control), or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this release, including risks related to the satisfaction of closing conditions, closing and future use of the Virgin Orbit assets and Conant Facility; delays and disruptions in expansion efforts; our dependence on a limited number of customers; the harsh and unpredictable environment of space in which our products operate which could adversely affect our launch vehicle and spacecraft; increased congestion from the proliferation of low Earth orbit constellations which could materially increase the risk of potential collision with space debris or another spacecraft and limit or impair our launch flexibility and\/or access to our own orbital slots; increased competition in our industry due in part to rapid technological development and decreasing costs; technological change in our industry which we may not be able to keep up with or which may render our services uncompetitive; average selling price trends; failure of our launch vehicles, spacecraft and components to operate as intended either due to our error in design in production or through no fault of our own; launch schedule disruptions; supply chain disruptions, product delays or failures; design and engineering flaws; launch failures; natural disasters and epidemics or pandemics; changes in governmental regulations including with respect to trade and export restrictions, or in the status of our regulatory approvals or applications; or other events that force us to cancel or reschedule launches, including customer contractual rescheduling and termination rights; risks that acquisitions may not be completed on the anticipated time frame or at all or do not achieve the anticipated benefits and results; and the other risks detailed from time to time in Rocket Lab\u2019s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the \u201cSEC\u201d), including under the heading \u201cRisk Factors\u201d in Rocket Lab\u2019s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on March 7, 2023, and elsewhere. There can be no assurance that the future developments affecting Rocket Lab will be those that we have anticipated.
