Details of the Proposed Business Combination
The effectiveness of the registration statement by the SEC marks a major milestone for the merger between IQM and RAAQ.

IQM Quantum Computers: Business Overview
Headquartered in Finland with major operations in Munich, IQM is recognized as a leader in the quantum computing industry. It develops full-stack, open-architecture quantum computers that can be deployed on-premises or accessed via the cloud, catering to research institutions, universities, HPC centers, and national laboratories worldwide.
IQM’s vertically integrated business model is a significant competitive advantage, encompassing proprietary chip design tools, a software developer platform, an in-house quantum chip fabrication facility, and its own assembly line and data center. This allows IQM to accelerate innovation cycles and deliver best-in-class quantum computing solutions.
- Over 400 employees across Europe, Asia, and North America.
- Industry-leading number of publicly disclosed on-premises quantum computer deliveries compared to other notable companies (IBM, D-Wave, Pasqal, Rigetti, IonQ, OQC, Quandela, Anyon Systems, QuEra, Atom Computing, and Quantinuum).
Implications for Shareholders
- Shareholder Vote: The outcome of the Extraordinary General Meeting on June 25, 2026, will determine whether the transaction proceeds. Shareholder approval is critical.
- Potential Dual Listing: IQM’s plan to list on both Nasdaq Global Exchange and Nasdaq Helsinki could significantly increase share liquidity and visibility, potentially driving demand and impacting share value positively.
- Revenue and Growth: Demonstrated revenue growth and delivery of quantum computers signal tangible commercial traction in an emerging technology sector, which could support a positive re-rating of the combined company’s valuation.
- SPAC Structure: As this is a SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) merger, investors should note the risks of redemptions, possible changes to deal terms, and the reliance on future growth expectations.
- Forward-Looking Risks: The company operates in a highly technical, early-stage market. Risks include commercialization challenges, dependency on government contracts, potential need for additional financing, competitive pressures, and regulatory uncertainties. Actual results may vary significantly from projections due to these factors.
- Redemption Risk: If a significant number of RAAQ shareholders elect to redeem their shares, the combined company could be left with insufficient cash to pursue its business plans.
- Regulatory Approvals: The deal is subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals and other customary closing conditions; any delays or failures could negatively impact the transaction and share values.
