• PIPE Reduction Right Introduced

  dMY Squared Technology Group amended its PIPE Subscription Agreements to allow certain PIPE Investors to satisfy their commitments by using currently owned shares or shares purchased in the open market. This mechanism reduces the number of new PIPE shares they are obligated to purchase on a one-for-one basis.

• Conditions for Reduction Right

  Investors exercising the Reduction Right must agree to specific conditions, including not selling or transferring the shares prior to the Business Combination and not exercising redemption rights. Depending on whether the shares are currently owned or open-market purchases, they must either vote in favor of the Business Combination or abstain from voting.

• IonQ PIPE Condition Removed

  An amendment to the Side Letter with IonQ, a PIPE Investor, removed a prior condition that tied the closing of IonQ's PIPE Subscription Agreement to the entry into a commercial agreement for quantum computing hardware. This simplifies and potentially accelerates the closing of IonQ's investment.

These amendments are crucial for dMY Squared Technology Group as it progresses towards its business combination with Horizon Quantum. The new "Reduction Right" mechanism incentivizes PIPE investors to hold or acquire shares and not redeem them, which is vital for SPACs to meet minimum cash conditions and successfully close mergers. Additionally, removing a commercial agreement condition for IonQ's PIPE investment streamlines the closing of a significant portion of the committed capital. These actions collectively de-risk the ongoing merger process and enhance the likelihood of its successful completion.
