Exhibit 99.1

D-Wave Regains Compliance with NYSE Trading Share Price Listing Rule

BURNABY, B.C., and PALO ALTO, Calif. --- July 5, 2023 --- D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in commercial quantum computing systems, software and services, today announced it has regained compliance with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), meeting its continued listing standard for minimum share price.
 
On July 3, 2023, the NYSE provided D-Wave with a notification letter of recompliance based on (1) the Company’s share price being at least $1.00 on June 30, 2023, and (2) a calculation of the Company’s average closing price for the 30 trading days ended June 30, 2023, which reflected an average closing price above the NYSE’s $1.00 minimum requirement.
 
D-Wave will continue to be traded on the NYSE, subject to its continued compliance with all applicable listing standards.
