Quantum Computing Inc. Announces $500 Million Oversubscribed Private Placement as Shares Fall

The deal is set to close around Sept. 24, positioning the company with roughly $850 million in cash.

Overview

  • The company agreed to sell 26,867,276 common shares in an at-the-market private placement priced under Nasdaq rules, targeting $500 million in gross proceeds.
  • Participants include several large existing shareholders and a first-time investment from a preeminent global alternative asset manager, with Titan Partners Group serving as sole placement agent.
  • QCi said proceeds will accelerate commercialization, fund strategic acquisitions, expand sales and engineering teams, and support working capital and manufacturing.
  • The shares are unregistered at issuance, and the company plans to file a resale registration statement with the SEC to enable secondary-market liquidity.
  • QUBT stock fell about 12% pre-market and roughly 16% intraday as investors weighed dilution from the new shares, with trading volume running well above average.
