This 424B7 prospectus supplement details the intent of a significant institutional investor, The Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Cambridge, to sell its entire holding of 2,562,642 shares of IonQ common stock. While the offering represents approximately 0.72% of IonQ's current market capitalization, the complete divestment by a named institutional holder is a notable event. The company will not receive any proceeds from these sales, which could create an overhang on the stock as these shares become available for trading. This follows previous resale filings under the same shelf registration.
