D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) (“D-Wave” or the “Company”), a
leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, and
the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers, today
announced that it has successfully completed sales of $175 million
in gross proceeds of its common stock pursuant to its previously
disclosed $100 million and $75 million “at-the-market” equity
offering programs (the “ATM Programs”). The $75 million ATM
Program, implemented on Monday, December 9th, was completed at an
average price per share of $4.8149. Over that same three-day
period, D-Wave stock traded at a Volume Weighted Average Price
(“VWAP”) of $4.6625 (per Bloomberg). The Company expects to end the
current fiscal 2024 fourth quarter with at least $160 million in

working capital and capital expenditures in support of D-Wave’s
ongoing technical development efforts and business operations.
“We believe that annealing quantum computing is serving as an
important catalyst for the increasing commercial adoption of
quantum,” said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “Our 5,000 qubit
Advantage™ quantum computer, the largest quantum computer in the
world, is helping to drive this adoption, as businesses,
researchers, and governments recognize the near-term value we can
deliver. We believe this funding substantially improves the
company’s financial strength, positioning D-Wave for the future and
enabling us to fully execute against our product and go-to-market
strategies and roadmaps.”
