D-Wave

Systems”), and certain other affiliated entities through a series of transactions (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the definitive agreement entered into on February 7, 2022 (the “Transaction Agreement”). On August 5, 2022, in conjunction with the Business Combination, DPCM and
D-Wave
Systems became wholly owned subsidiaries of and are operated by the Company. Upon the completion of the Business Combination, the Company succeeded to substantially all of the operations of its predecessor,
