QUANTUMCORE ANNOUNCES C$4.27 MILLION STRATEGIC FINANCING WITH NEW U.S. INVESTOR TO ACCELERATE ITS VISION OF BUILDING THE GLOBAL LEADER IN QUANTUM COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE

Quantumcore Ltd. has arranged a non-brokered private placement financing for aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately $4.27-million. The offering is expected to be completed with a strategic investor based in the United States.

Pursuant to the offering, the investor has agreed to subscribe for 2,134,800 common shares of the company at a price of $2 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,269,600.

Following completion of the offering, Quantumcore expects to have a cash position in excess of $10-million, providing the company with one of the strongest balance sheets among emerging quantum hardware companies. In addition to its cash resources, Quantumcore has and continues to apply for incremental non-dilutive funding through government grants and research partnerships, further supporting the acceleration of its commercialization road map, product development and strategic acquisition initiatives without additional shareholder dilution.

The proposed investment represents significantly more than a capital commitment; upon completion, it is expected to establish a long-term strategic partnership with an investor that shares Quantumcore's vision of building one of the world's leading providers of critical infrastructure for the quantum computing industry.

The proceeds of the offering will be used to accelerate product commercialization, expand research and development, strengthen manufacturing capabilities, and pursue strategic acquisitions that complement Quantumcore's growing portfolio of quantum technologies.

What is expected to distinguish this investment is the strategic alignment between the parties. The investor has expressed its commitment to be a long-term capital partner of Quantumcore, supporting the company's future growth through participation rights in future financings and providing capital to help execute its acquisition strategy as opportunities arise.

As part of the offering, the investor will be granted a participation right entitling it to maintain its pro rata ownership in the company by participating in future equity and quasi-equity financings (subject to customary exceptions), for so long as it holds at least 100,000 common shares. This right is subject to customary exercise procedures and will expire no later than Aug. 6, 2029.

"Today's announcement represents an important milestone for Quantumcore," said Eugene Profis, chief executive officer of Quantumcore. "Once completed, this offering will demonstrate our strategic partner's conviction in our technology, our team and our long-term vision. We are building the critical infrastructure that will power the quantum computing revolution, and having a well-capitalized strategic investor committed to supporting both our future financings and acquisition strategy would significantly strengthen our ability to execute on that vision."

Quantumcore is developing critical enabling technologies for the quantum computing ecosystem, including superconducting quantum amplifiers and next-generation single-photon detector technologies. As quantum computers scale from hundreds to millions of qubits, demand for advanced infrastructure components is expected to increase significantly. The company believes its growing portfolio of technologies positions Quantumcore to become a key supplier to quantum computing companies around the world.

The strategic partnership contemplated by the offering is also expected to reinforce Quantumcore's acquisition strategy. The company intends to continue identifying complementary technologies, intellectual property and businesses that strengthen its position across the quantum computing infrastructure stack. Assuming completion of the offering and a committed long-term strategic capital partner, Quantumcore believes it would be well positioned to capitalize on opportunities that accelerate its objective of becoming the leading quantum computing infrastructure company.

Closing of the offering remains subject to customary conditions, including receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange. The offering is expected to close on or about Aug. 7, 2026. All securities issued pursuant to the offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance in Canada in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Wildeboer Dellelce LLP acted as Canadian legal counsel to Quantumcore in this transaction.
