Global commercial leader with 21 systems sold to 13 customers to date \u2013 including 4 out of the top 10 supercomputing centres globally<\/strong><\/p>\n

IQM Finland Oy, a global leader in full-stack superconducting quantum computers (\u201cIQM\u201d, \u201cIQM Quantum Computers\u201d) and Real Asset Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (\u201cRAAQ\u201d), announced they have entered into a definitive business combination agreement, which will result in IQM becoming a public company and listing American Depositary Shares on one of the two leading U.S. stock exchanges. The transaction provides funding with the aim to accelerate IQM\u2019s technology and commercial development towards fault-tolerance quantum computing, further advancing its position as a leading provider of quantum computers.
\nHeadquartered in Finland, IQM is also considering a dual listing that would see the trading of IQM\u2019s ordinary shares on the Helsinki stock exchange, which would be expected to take place following the completion of this transaction.
\nIQM is a quantum computing company that builds full stack, open-architecture systems that can be deployed on-premise or accessed via the cloud. IQM operates a vertically integrated business model, boasting a unique combination of proprietary infrastructure from their own chip design tool and software developer platform, to a quantum chip fab, assembly line and data centre, allowing the company to accelerate its innovation cycles, deliver best-in-class quantum computing to its customers and enabling the quantum ecosystem to grow.<\/p>\n

Transaction Highlights:<\/strong>
\nFollowing completion of the transaction, IQM\u2019s cash on its balance sheet is expected to be in excess of USD 450 million cash at closing2 (including IQM\u2019s existing cash), providing runway for continued broad commercial advantage:
\n\u2022 Approximately USD 175 million of cash held in RAAQ\u2019s trust account (based on the current amount in the trust account and assuming no redemptions);
\n\u2022 Approximately USD 134 million in proceeds from a PIPE financing at USD 10.00 per share from leading new and existing and institutional investors, to close concurrently with the business combination, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions;
\n\u2022 Expected USD 24 million in proceeds from the cash exercise of outstanding IQM warrants prior to the closing;
\n\u2022 Existing cash on IQM\u2019s balance sheet of USD 172 million (unaudited as of year-end 2025); and
\n\u2022 The transaction values IQM at a pre-money equity valuation of approximately USD 1.8 billion.<\/p>\n

Jan Goetz, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, IQM, said: \u201cWe built IQM from the beginning for one purpose \u2014 to put working quantum computers in the hands of the people who will use them to solve real problems. Not someday. Now. Quantum computing is a science project no more. It is an industry where customers own, operate, and build on advanced quantum computers. That\u2019s what IQM makes possible.\u201d
\nPeter Ort, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman, Real Asset Acquisition Corp, said: \u201cIQM has built and delivered more on-premises quantum systems than any other competitor \u2014 to some of the most demanding research institutions on earth. This transaction will accelerate the growth of a company that has already earned its position in the field, with real customers, running real quantum systems, today.\u201d
\nSierk Poetting, Chairman of IQM\u2019s Board of Directors, said: \u201cGoing public is not a change of direction but is rather an acceleration. The board stands fully behind IQM\u2019s mission and goals to make quantum infrastructure as foundational and accessible as classical computing.\u201d<\/p>\n
