Quantum Computing Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT) reported that at its June 24, 2026 Annual Meeting stockholders approved corporate governance changes that increase authorized shares and expand its equity compensation plan. On June 29, 2026 the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State making the authorized-share increase effective.
• The filing also lists Item 3.03 (Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders) but provides no substantive narrative beyond a brief reference.

Key Details

• Authorized shares increased from 260,000,000 to 460,000,000 total shares: now 450,000,000 shares of Common Stock (up from 250,000,000) and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock (unchanged). Certificate of Amendment filed June 29, 2026 (effective upon filing).
• The 2022 Equity and Incentive Plan was amended and approved at the June 24, 2026 Annual Meeting to:
  • Raise shares available under the Plan from 20,000,000 to 30,000,000;
  • Change the annual automatic increase (evergreen) to 2% of total common shares outstanding on the last day of the prior calendar year (instead of a fixed 1,000,000 shares) through January 1, 2032, with the Board able to reduce or skip increases;
  • Remove the Plan’s Non-Employee Director Limit.
• The full Certificate of Amendment and Plan Amendment are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 10.1 in the 8-K.

Why It Matters

• These actions increase the number of shares the company can issue and the shares available for employee and director compensation. That creates capacity for future stock-based awards, financings or other issuances, which investors should monitor because such issuances can dilute existing shareholders.
• The evergreen change ties annual increases to the company’s outstanding share count (2%) rather than a fixed number, giving the Board flexibility and linking future plan growth to company size through Jan 1, 2032. Investors should watch subsequent Board actions and any future equity grants or share issuances that use the expanded authorization.
