Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 13, 2025, D-Wave Quantum Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release reminding any remaining holders of its outstanding public warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) that, as previously announced on October 20, 2025, the Company is redeeming all of such Warrants at 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on November 19, 2025 (the “Redemption Date”), for a redemption price of $0.01 per Warrant (the “Redemption Price”).
Holders of all outstanding Warrants may exercise their Warrants at any time from the date hereof until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date by contacting their broker. Any unexercised Warrants outstanding as of 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on the Redemption Date will be void and no longer exercisable and their holders will have no rights with respect to those Warrants, except to receive the Redemption Price.
A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The Warrants were issued under the Warrant Agreement, dated October 20, 2020, by and between DPCM Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the predecessor of the Company (“DPCM”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as warrant agent, as amended by that certain Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement, dated as of August 5, 2022, by and among DPCM, the Company, Continental, Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation and its affiliate, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company (together, “Computershare”), and that certain Amendment Agreement, dated as of March 11, 2025, by and among the Company, Computershare and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, a New York limited liability trust company, as successor warrant agent (as so amended, the “Warrant Agreement”).
Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Company is entitled to redeem all of the outstanding Warrants at the Redemption Price if the last sales price of the Common Stock is at least $18.00 per share on each of twenty trading days within any thirty-day trading period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which a notice of redemption is given. This share price performance target has been met.
Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase from the Company 1.4541326 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate cash price of $11.50 per Warrant exercised. Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, if, upon the exercise of Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock, the Company will round the number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Warrant holder down to the nearest whole number of shares.
As a result of the redemption, the Company expects November 17, 2025 to be the last day on which the Warrants will be traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
The shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants have been registered by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). A prospectus, dated April 12, 2024, covering the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants is included in a registration statement (Registration No. 333-278449) on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and declared effective by the SEC on April 12, 2024.
None of this Current Report on Form 8-K, or Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Company’s securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
The information in this Item 8.01 of this Form 8-K is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
