As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Quantum Computing Inc. (the “Company”) on December 15, 2025, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2025 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Luminar Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”) and Luminar Semiconductor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Target”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Target from the Seller (the “Transaction”). The Transaction was completed on February 2, 2026.
The consideration paid by the Company at closing consisted of approximately $97.5 million in cash, along with the $11.0 million of funds that were placed with an escrow agent in connection with the signing of the Stock Purchase Agreement. The escrowed amount will remain with the escrow agent to cover certain limited indemnification obligations of the Seller pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement until February 2, 2027.
The foregoing description of the Transaction and the Stock Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement, which the Company filed with the SEC as Exhibit 2.1 in its Current Report on Form 8-K on December 15, 2025, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, including the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances under which the anticipated benefits of the Transaction are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of the Target, diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities, operating costs and business disruption following the Transaction, exposure to potential litigation, the integration of the Target’s products and technologies with the Company, and the acceleration of the Company’s development roadmap, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Except as required by federal securities law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed conditions.
