Dear Shareholders,

This morning, we announced our plans to go public through a merger with DPCM Capital. You can find the press release on the D-Wave website.

This highly strategic transaction is expected to fund and accelerate our growth strategy to further expand our global footprint; fund our dual hardware approach and cross platform software and tools development; and accelerate our go-to-market, services-enabled strategy into key verticals and markets. As the only quantum computing company in the world that is building both annealing and gate-model quantum computers, we will have access to the full projected $150B quantum computing total addressable market (TAM). Our product portfolio and road map positions us to address this market opportunity with advanced quantum computing technology that will continue to drive real business value for our customers. This transaction is a testament to the exceptional product platform and the emerging business that we are building together.

If you have any questions, please reach out to shareholdercomm@dwavesys.com.

This is a milestone day for D-Wave. I want to thank you all for your long-term investment in our success. I look forward to providing you with updates in this next phase of our evolution.

Sincerely,

Alan Baratz

CEO, D-Wave

D-Wave Quantum and DPCM 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 D-Wave Quantum, DPCM, D-Wave and the Transaction.
