          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">This prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated in it by reference contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section&#160;27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#8220;Securities Act&#8221;), Section&#160;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#8220;Exchange Act&#8221;), and the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are based on our management&#8217;s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, plans and objectives. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and, in some cases, can be identified by terminology such as &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;continue,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;predict,&#8221; &#8220;potential,&#8221; or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. </font>

Therefore, we caution you to consider carefully the matters described under the caption &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; and certain other matters discussed in this prospectus supplement, the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, and other publicly available sources. Such factors and many other factors beyond the control of our management could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, level of activity, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Unless we are required to do so under U.S. federal securities laws or other applicable laws, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements. </font>

            <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Arqit is an &#8220;emerging growth company,&#8221; as defined in Section&#160;2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the &#8220;JOBS Act&#8221;). As such, it is eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not &#8220;emerging growth companies&#8221; including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section&#160;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the &#8220;Sarbanes-Oxley Act&#8221;). Additionally, to the extent that Arqit ceases to become a foreign private issuer, emerging growth company status would allow it to include reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and to be exempt from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find Arqit&#8217;s securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for Arqit&#8217;s securities and the prices of Arqit&#8217;s securities may be more volatile. </font>

References herein to &#8220;emerging growth company&#8221; shall have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider all risk factors set forth in reports we file with the SEC and incorporated by reference into the accompanying prospectus, as well as all of the other information in, and incorporated by reference into, this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F. Our business, prospects, financial condition, or operating results could be harmed by any of the risks described, as well as other risks not known to us or that we currently deem immaterial. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The price per share, together with the number of Ordinary Shares we propose to issue and ultimately will issue if this offering is completed, may result in an immediate decrease in the market price of our Ordinary Shares. This decrease may continue after the completion of this offering. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional Ordinary Shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Ordinary Shares at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell Ordinary Shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing Ordinary Shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders. The price per share at which we sell additional Ordinary Shares, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Ordinary Shares, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:-0.2pt;">You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the Ordinary Shares you purchase.

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The price per Ordinary Share, together with the number of Ordinary Shares we propose to issue and ultimately will issue if this offering is completed, may result in an immediate decrease in the market price of our Ordinary Shares. Our historical net tangible book value as of September&#160;30, 2023 was $63.2 million, or approximately $0.39 per Ordinary Share. After giving effect to the 1,241,379 Ordinary Shares to be sold in this offering at an offering price of $0.725 per Ordinary Share, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September&#160;30, 2023 would have been $64.1 million, or approximately $0.39 per Ordinary Share. This represents a de minimus increase in the net tangible book value to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of approximately $0.34 per share of our Ordinary Shares to new investors, representing the difference between the offering price and our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September&#160;30, 2023, after giving effect to this offering, and the offering price per share. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">In addition, we have stock options, restricted share&#160;units and warrants outstanding, and, in order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional Ordinary Shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. In the event that the outstanding options, restricted share&#160;units or warrants are exercised or settled, or that we make additional issuances of Ordinary Shares or other convertible or exchangeable securities, you could experience additional dilution. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders, including investors who purchase Ordinary Shares in this offering. The price per share at which we sell additional Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into Ordinary Shares in future transactions, may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering. As a result, purchasers of the shares we sell, as well as our existing shareholders, will experience significant dilution if we sell Ordinary Shares at prices significantly below the price at which they invested. See the section entitled &#8220;</font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Dilution</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">&#8221; below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you participate in this offering. </font>

As of September&#160;30, 2023, our net tangible book value was $63.2 million, or $0.39 per Ordinary Share. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing our net tangible assets (total tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. </font>

This represents a de minimus increase in the net tangible book value to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of approximately $0.34 per Ordinary Share to new investors. The following table illustrates this per share dilution: </font>

Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, plans and objectives. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and in some cases can be identified by terminology such as &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;continue,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;predict,&#8221; &#8220;potential,&#8221; or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. </font>

Therefore, we caution you to consider carefully the matters described under the caption &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; and certain other matters discussed in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and other publicly available sources. Such factors and many other factors beyond the control of our management could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, level of activity, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Unless we are required to do so under U.S. federal securities laws or other applicable laws, we do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements. </font>

        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Arqit is an &#8220;emerging growth company,&#8221; as defined in Section&#160;2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#8220;Securities Act&#8221;), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the &#8220;JOBS Act&#8221;). As such, it is eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not &#8220;emerging growth companies&#8221; including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section&#160;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the &#8220;Sarbanes-Oxley Act&#8221;). Additionally, to the extent that Arqit ceases to become a foreign private issuer, emerging growth company status would allow it to include reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and to be exempt from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find Arqit&#8217;s securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for Arqit&#8217;s securities and the prices of Arqit&#8217;s securities may be more volatile. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Arqit will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1)&#160;the last day of the fiscal year (a)&#160;following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination, (b)&#160;in which it has total annual gross revenues of at least $1.235&#160;billion, or (c)&#160;in which it is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of its ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700&#160;million as of the end of the prior fiscal year&#8217;s second fiscal quarter; and (2)&#160;the date on which it has issued more than $1.00&#160;billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. References herein to &#8220;emerging growth company&#8221; shall have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Arqit is a &#8220;foreign private issuer&#8221; under SEC rules. Consequently, Arqit is subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, applicable to foreign private issuers. Arqit will be required to file its annual reports on Form 20-F, and will furnish reports on Form 6-K to the SEC regarding certain information that is distributed or required to be distributed by Arqit to its shareholders. </font>
        </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:8pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">
          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">Based on its foreign private issuer status, Arqit will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as a U.S. company whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. Arqit will also not be required to comply with Regulation&#160;FD, which addresses certain restrictions on the selective disclosure of material information. In addition, among other matters, Arqit officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and &#8220;short-swing&#8221; profit recovery provisions of Section&#160;16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of Ordinary Shares. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The Company has been advised by Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP, its Cayman Islands legal counsel, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i)&#160;to recognize, or enforce against the Company, judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any State; and (ii)&#160;in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against the Company predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any State, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, and or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere. There is recent Privy Council authority (which is binding on the Cayman Islands court) in the context of a reorganization plan approved by the New York Bankruptcy Court which suggests that due to the universal nature of bankruptcy/insolvency proceedings, foreign money judgments obtained in foreign bankruptcy/insolvency proceedings may be enforced without applying the principles outlined above. However, a more recent English Supreme Court authority (which is highly persuasive but not binding on the Cayman Islands court), has expressly rejected that approach in the context of a default judgment obtained in an adversary proceeding brought in the New York Bankruptcy Court by the receivers of the bankruptcy debtor against a third party, and which would not have been enforceable upon the application of the traditional common law principles summarized above and held that foreign money judgments obtained in bankruptcy/insolvency proceedings should be enforced by applying the principles set out above, and not by the simple exercise of the Courts&#8217; discretion. Those cases have now been considered by the Cayman Islands court. The Cayman Islands court was not asked to consider the specific question of whether a judgment of a bankruptcy court in an adversary proceeding would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands, but it did endorse the need for active assistance of overseas bankruptcy proceedings. We understand that the Cayman Islands court&#8217;s decision in that case has been appealed and it remains the case that the law regarding the enforcement of bankruptcy/insolvency related judgments is still in a state of uncertainty. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">We are subject to the information requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to foreign private issuers. Accordingly, we are required to file reports and other information with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 20-F and disclosure furnished under cover of Form 6-K. The SEC maintains a website (</font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">www.sec.gov</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">) that contains reports and other information regarding issuers, such as us, that file electronically with the SEC. We also maintain a website (</font><font style="font-style:italic;letter-spacing:0.2pt;">https://arqit.uk</font><font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">), from which you can access such reports and other information free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt under the Exchange Act from rules prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section&#160;16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. </font>

The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus and any applicable prospectus, and later information that we file with the SEC will automatically update and supersede this information. This prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement incorporate by reference the documents set forth below that have previously been filed with the SEC (other than those documents or the portions of those documents that are &#8220;furnished&#8221; unless otherwise specified below): </font>
