Business Combination
As discussed in Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, on August 5, 2022, the Company completed the Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the following occurred:
 
   
Each
non-redeeming
share of DPCM Class A common stock was converted into the right to receive 1.4541326 Common Shares (the “Exchange Ratio”), such that 902,213 shares of DPCM Class A common stock that were not redeemed were exchanged for 1,311,937 Common Shares;
 
   
All outstanding warrants of DPCM were converted into the right to receive Warrants. Each such Warrant is exercisable for 1.4541326 Common Shares, at any time commencing on September 4, 2022, the date that is 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. The number of Common Shares received upon the exercise of Warrants will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Common Shares;
 
   
3,015,575 shares of DPCM Class B common stock held by Sponsor and DPCM’s officers, directors and other special advisors were converted into Common Shares on a
one-for-one
basis; and
 
   
Pursuant to an arrangement effected under Part 9, Division 5 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Arrangement”) all holders of outstanding
non-redeemable
convertible preferred shares of
D-Wave
Systems received equity interests in
D-Wave
in exchange for their equity interests in
D-Wave
Systems. The aggregate consideration paid to former shareholders of
D-Wave
Systems in connection with the Business Combination was approximately 99,736,752 Common Shares and Exchangeable Shares (as defined below) (excluding options of
D-Wave
Systems and warrants of
D-Wave
Systems).
“Exchangeable Shares” refer to shares in the capital of
D-Wave
Quantum Technologies Inc., or ExchangeCo, an indirect Canadian subsidiary of
D-Wave.
The Exchangeable Shares are exchangeable from time to time, at the holder’s election, for Common Shares on a
one-for-one
basis.
In connection with the Business Combination and concurrently with the execution of the Transaction Agreement, on February 7, 2022, DPCM and the Company entered into separate subscription agreements with a number of investors (each a “PIPE Investor”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, and the Company agreed to sell to the PIPE Investors, a number of Common Shares (the “PIPE Shares”) equal to the aggregate purchase price for all Common Shares subscribed for by each PIPE Investor, divided by $10.00 and multiplied by the Exchange Ratio for an aggregate purchase price of $40.0 million (the “PIPE Investment”), such that the PIPE Investors purchased 5,816,528 PIPE Shares in the aggregate. The PIPE Investment closed simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, DPCM was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. See Note 2 for further details. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing shares for the net assets of DPCM, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of DPCM were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
In accounting for the Business Combination and after redemptions, net proceeds received by the Company totaled $21.4 million. The following table presents the net proceeds from the Business Combination and PIPE Investment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (in thousands):

D-Wave
Systems’ common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination. In conjunction with the Business Combination, the number of Common Shares that former stockholders of
