flow
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 $150 million
in gross proceeds of its common stock pursuant to its previously
disclosed $150 million "at-the-market" equity offering program (the
“ATM Program”). The $150 million ATM Program, which was filed on
January 10, commenced on January 15th and ended on January 21st,
was completed at an average price per share of $6.10 representing a
$0.22 per share, or 3.7%, premium over the Volume Weighted Average
Price (“VWAP”) of D-Wave’s common stock (per Bloomberg) for the
four days that D-Wave sold common stock. The Company’s current cash
balance is approximately $320 million. The funds were used, and
will continue to be used, for working capital and capital
expenditures in support of D-Wave’s ongoing technical development
efforts and business operations.
“We believe that the completion of this equity offering provides
us with the capital necessary to fully execute our operating plan
to sustained profitability and positive cash flow,” said Dr. Alan
Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. “We’ve built an incredibly strong business
that we expect will continue to drive value not only for our
customers but for our stockholders as well. We are leading the
commercialization of quantum computing with customer applications
deployed in production, quantum computers that have demonstrated
the ability to solve useful problems that are unreachable with
classical computing, new go-to-market offerings in quantum
optimization and on-premise systems sales, and the development of
an important new market – quantum AI. Our momentum is evident.”
