Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Securities Purchase Agreements

On October 5, 2025, Quantum Computing Inc. (the “Company”) entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the Purchasers (as defined therein), in a private placement (the “Placement”), an aggregate of 37,183,937 shares (the “Placement Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The closing of the Placement occurred on October 8, 2025. The Placement resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $750 million before deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses.

The issuance of the Placement Shares was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. The Placement Shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. The Company is required to file a registration statement providing for the resale of the Placement Shares by October 23, 2025.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements and the Placement Agency Agreement (as defined below), the Company has agreed not to issue, enter into any agreement to issue, or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents, or file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, for a period of 75 days after the closing date of the Placement, subject to certain customary exceptions, without the consent of the Placement Agent and the Purchasers.

Placement Agency Agreement

The Company also entered into a Placement Agency Agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Titan Partners Group LLC, a division of American Capital Partners, LLC (the “Placement Agent”), dated October 5, 2025, pursuant to which the Placement Agent will act as the exclusive placement agent for the Company in connection with the Placement. The Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a 4% cash fee based on the total size of the Placement, as set forth in the Placement Agency Agreement. In addition, the Company agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for up to $100,000 of its fees and expenses in connection with the Placement.

The Placement Agency Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, other obligations of the parties, and termination provisions.

Lock-Up Agreements

Pursuant to Lock-Up Agreements with the Company, the Company’s directors and executive officers agreed for a period of 60 days after the closing date of the Placement, subject to certain exceptions, not to directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position with respect to, any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Common Stock, that they beneficially own, hold, or thereafter acquire, or make any demand for or exercise any right or cause to be filed a registration, including any amendments thereto, with respect to the registration of any Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents or publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

The foregoing summaries of the Purchase Agreements, the Placement Agency Agreement, and the Lock-Up Agreements do not purport to be complete descriptions thereof and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents or the forms of such documents, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3, respectively. The representations, warranties, and covenants made by the Company in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit hereto were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreement. In addition, the assertions embodied in any representations, warranties, and covenants contained in such agreements may be subject to qualifications with respect to knowledge and materiality different from those applicable to securityholders generally. Moreover, such representations, warranties, or covenants were accurate only as of the date when made, except where expressly stated otherwise. Accordingly, such representations, warranties, and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of the Company’s affairs at any time.
