IonQ files prospectus supplement for resale of 25.3 million shares

IonQ, Inc. (NYSE:IONQ) filed a prospectus supplement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday covering the potential resale by certain selling stockholders of up to 25,275,276 shares of its common stock. The filing supplements IonQ’s registration statement on Form S-3ASR, which was originally filed on February 26, 2025.

According to the statement, the shares covered by the prospectus supplement are being registered for resale by the selling stockholders, and not for sale by the company itself. The filing also includes a legal opinion from Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP regarding the validity of the shares, which is incorporated by reference into the registration statement.

IonQ’s common stock and warrants are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols NYSE:IONQ and NYSE:IONQ WS, respectively.

This information is based on a press release statement and the company’s recent SEC filing.

In other recent news, IonQ has been active with significant financial and technological developments. The company announced a $2 billion equity investment from an entity managed by Heights Capital Management, Inc., involving common stock and warrants offered at a premium price. This transaction includes 16.5 million shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants, each priced at $93, which is a 20% premium to IonQ’s closing price on October 9. Additionally, there are seven-year warrants to purchase approximately 43 million more shares at $155 each, representing a 100% premium to the same closing price.

In another financial move, IonQ entered into an underwriting agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC for an offering of common stock and warrants. This agreement involves the sale of 16,500,000 shares of common stock and 5,005,400 pre-funded warrants, along with 43,010,800 Series B warrants. Each share and pre-funded warrant is offered with two Series B warrants at a combined public price of $93.00.

On the technological front, IonQ made a breakthrough in quantum chemistry simulations, which could advance decarbonization technologies. In collaboration with a Global 1000 automotive manufacturer, IonQ demonstrated accurate computation of atomic-level forces using the QC-AFQMC algorithm, achieving results that surpassed classical computing methods. These developments highlight IonQ’s ongoing efforts to enhance its technological capabilities and expand its financial resources.
