Sponsor has agreed that, immediately prior to the Closing, Sponsor will irrevocably forfeit and surrender 1,196,663 SPAC Class B Shares to SPAC for no consideration as a contribution to the capital of SPAC;

(d)

Sponsor has agreed that, in the event Aggregate Transaction Proceeds shall be equal to or less than $130,000,000 as of the redemption deadline for the SPAC Stockholder Redemption based on elections by holders of SPAC Class A Shares to redeem as of such date and a good faith estimate of Unpaid SPAC Expenses and other amounts through Closing, the Company shall be entitled to cause Sponsor to transfer 906,563 SPAC Class B Shares to SPAC or other SPAC Stockholders, as directed by the Company;

(e)

If, immediately prior to the Closing, SPAC Expenses shall exceed Permitted SPAC Expenses, Sponsor will, at its election, either (i) reimburse SPAC an amount equal to such excess or (ii) irrevocably forfeit and surrender a number of Sponsor SPAC Shares, equal to (x) the amount of such excess divided by (y) (1) $10.00 divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio, to SPAC for no consideration as a contribution to the capital of SPAC; and

(f)

Sponsor will cause there to be no conversions of SPAC Class B Shares such that there are an aggregate of 7,500,000 SPAC Class B Shares outstanding as of the Closing and, to the extent any such conversions nevertheless occur, Sponsor will transfer and/or forfeit SPAC Class B Shares in a manner that results in the other SPAC Stockholders and the Company Shareholders being in the same position economically and otherwise as they would have been in, immediately following the Closing, had such conversions not occurred.

Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement

At the Closing, NewCo, Sponsor, the other holders of SPAC Class B Shares and each Company Shareholder (such stockholders, the “Registration Rights Holders”) will, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, become parties to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, NewCo will be obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of certain Equity Securities of NewCo held by the Registration Rights Holders. The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement will also provide the Registration Rights Holders with demand registration rights and “piggy-back” registration rights, in each case, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions. Subject to certain exceptions, the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement further provides for the securities of NewCo held by the Registration Rights Holders to be locked-up for a period of time in accordance with the terms set forth therein. The foregoing description of the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

PIPE Subscription Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Transaction Agreement, certain investors (the “PIPE Subscription Investors”) entered into a subscription agreement pursuant to which, among other things, each PIPE Subscription Investor will agree to subscribe for and purchase on the Closing Date, and NewCo will agree to issue and sell to each such PIPE Subscription Investor on the Closing Date, the number of NewCo Common Shares equal to the purchase price set forth therein, divided by $10.00 and multiplied the Exchange Ratio, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.

The foregoing description of the PIPE Subscription Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of PIPE Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02

The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein. In connection with the Closing, NewCo will issue an aggregate number of NewCo Common Shares equivalent to $40,000,000, divided by $10.00 and multiplied by the Exchange Ratio to the PIPE Subscription Investors. The NewCo Common Shares to be issued in connection with the PIPE Financing will not be registered under the Securities Act, and will be issued in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements thereof provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. The shares to be issued in the Plan of Arrangement will not be registered under the Securities Act, and will be issued by ExchangeCo, in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements thereof provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereunder.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

A full description of the terms of the Proposed Transaction will be provided in a registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by NewCo that will include a prospectus with respect to the combined company’s securities, to be issued in connection with the Proposed Transaction and a proxy statement with respect to the stockholder meeting of SPAC to vote on the Proposed Transaction. NewCo and SPAC urge investors, stockholders and other interested persons to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, as well as other documents filed with the SEC, because these documents will contain important information about NewCo, SPAC, the Company and the Proposed Transaction. After the registration statement is declared effective, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be included in the registration statement will be mailed to stockholders of SPAC as of a record date to be established for voting on the Proposed Transaction. Once available, stockholders will also be able to obtain a copy of the registration statement on Form S-4 including the proxy statement/prospectus, and other documents filed with the SEC without charge by directing a request to: D-Wave Quantum Inc., 3033 Beta Avenue, Burnaby, BC V5G 4M9 Canada, or via email at shareholdercomm@dwavesys.com and DPCM Capital, 382 NE 191 Street, #24148, Miami, Florida 33179, or via email at mkilkenny@hstrategies.com. The preliminary and definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be included in the registration statement, once available, can also be obtained, without charge, at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).

No Offer or Solicitation

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer or invitation for the sale or purchase of securities, assets or the business described herein or a commitment to NewCo, SPAC or the Company, nor is it a solicitation of any vote, consent or approval in any jurisdiction pursuant to or in connection with the Proposed Transaction or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law.

Participants in Solicitation

NewCo, SPAC and the Company, and their respective directors and executive officers, may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of SPAC’s stockholders in respect of the Proposed Transaction. Information about the directors and executive officers of SPAC is set forth in SPAC’s filings with the SEC. Information about the directors and executive officers of NewCo and more detailed information regarding the identity of all potential participants, and their direct and indirect interests by security holdings or otherwise, will be set forth in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus for the Proposed Transaction when available. Additional information regarding the identity of all potential participants in the solicitation of proxies to SPAC’s stockholders in connection with the Proposed Transaction and other matters to be voted upon at the special meeting, and their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, will be included in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, when it becomes available.
