Item 8.01 - Other Events
As previously disclosed, on February 7, 2022, DPCM Capital, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("SPAC"), D-Wave Quantum Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct,
wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC ("NewCo"), DWSI Holdings Inc., a Delaware
corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of NewCo, DWSI Canada Holdings
ULC, a British Columbia unlimited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned
subsidiary of NewCo ("CallCo"), D-Wave Quantum Technologies Inc., a British
Columbia corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of CallCo, and D-Wave
Systems Inc., a British Columbia company (the "Company"), entered into a
transaction agreement relating to a business combination between SPAC and the
Company (the "Proposed Transaction") pursuant to which, among other things,
NewCo will continue as the surviving corporation and the parent of SPAC and the
Company.
On July 14, 2022, SPAC and the Company issued a joint press release announcing,
among other things, that the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has
declared effective the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by NewCo with
the SEC in connection with the Proposed Transaction. A copy of the press release
is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Important Information About the Proposed Transaction and Where to Find It:
A full description of the terms of the Proposed Transaction is provided in a
registration statement on Form S-4, as amended, filed with the SEC by NewCo that
includes a prospectus with respect to the combined company's securities, to be
issued in connection with the Proposed Transaction and a proxy statement with
respect to the stockholder meeting of SPAC to vote on the Proposed Transaction.
NewCo and SPAC urge investors, stockholders, and other interested persons to
read the proxy statement/ prospectus, as well as other documents filed with the
SEC, because these documents contain important information about NewCo, SPAC,
the Company, and the Proposed Transaction. SPAC plans to mail the definitive
proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders in connection with the Proposed
Transaction. Stockholders also may obtain a copy of the registration statement
on Form S-4, as amended-including the proxy statement/prospectus and other
documents filed with the SEC without charge-by directing a request to: D-Wave
Quantum Inc., 3033 Beta Avenue, Burnaby, BC V5G 4M9 Canada, or via email at

proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement, can also be
