Hi all, hope youre having a great Wednesday!
As you may
know, IonQs Annual Meeting is coming up in one week on Wednesday, June 5th, at 10A ET. You are all welcome to dial in for the Annual Meeting, but as a heads up, it is mostly a quick formality (read:
5-minute call) so might not be worth your time.
What is important about Annual Meeting is
that it locks in our stockholders voting on the items in our proxy statement (such as approving our board members, compensation plan, etc.). In order to get these items passed, we need to meet quorum, i.e. have 50%+ of holders vote their
shares. For that reason, we are asking all of you who are stockholders (should be most of you, with some exceptions for recent joiners, etc.) to please vote your shares ASAP to bring us closer to quorum. Every share truly makes a
difference here.
How do you vote? You will have received an email (to your personal inbox) or snail mail from wherever you hold your IonQ shares
instructing you on how to vote and providing your Control #, i.e. unique ID that allows you to vote. For those of you using E*TRADE paper-free, check your inboxes from ~1 month ago for an email title, Vote now! IONQ, INC. Annual
Meeting from id@proxyvote.com. Youll see a friendly banner like the below image. If you have any questions on voting, please feel free to ping @Stacey Giamalis, @Kevin Caimi, or me.
Thanks in advance for your help!
