• Initial Public Offering Completed

  Quantinuum Inc. finalized its initial public offering, selling 28,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at an initial public offering price of $60.00 per share, raising $1.68 billion in gross proceeds. The net proceeds of approximately $1.58 billion will be used to purchase newly issued Common Units from Quantinuum Holdings for general corporate purposes and offering expenses.

• Significant Dilution for New Investors

  New investors purchasing shares in this offering will experience an immediate dilution of $51.03 per share, representing the difference between the $60.00 IPO price and the pro forma net tangible book value of $8.97 per share after the offering.

• Up-C Structure and Tax Receivable Agreement

  The company adopted an Up-C organizational structure and entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA). Under the TRA, Quantinuum Inc. is obligated to pay pre-IPO owners (TRA Parties) 85% of certain cash tax savings, estimated to aggregate approximately $3.3375 billion over 25 years, creating a substantial long-term financial liability.

• Dual-Class Stock and Concentrated Voting Power

  A dual-class stock structure is in place, with Class A common stock (economic rights, one vote) and Class B common stock (no economic rights, one vote). Continuing Common Unitholders will hold all 228,107,842 Class B shares, giving them 87.4% of the combined voting power. Honeywell Entities will beneficially own approximately 47.8% of the combined voting power and retain significant governance rights.

This filing finalizes the terms and pricing of Quantinuum's initial public offering, which was previously announced. The company successfully raised $1.68 billion in gross proceeds by selling 28 million Class A common shares at $60.00 per share. While this capital infusion is crucial for a growth-stage quantum computing company, new investors face substantial immediate dilution of $51.03 per share. Furthermore, the company adopted a complex Up-C structure and a Tax Receivable Agreement, which obligates it to pay 85% of certain tax savings (estimated at $3.3375 billion over 25 years) to pre-IPO owners. This creates a significant long-term financial commitment that will reduce future cash flow available to the company. The dual-class stock structure also concentrates voting power, with existing owners retaining 87.4% of the combined voting power, and Honeywell maintaining approximately 47.8% and significant governance rights, potentially limiting the influence of new public shareholders.
