IonQ revises bylaws, changes stockholder meeting quorum

COLLEGE PARK, MD – IonQ, Inc. (NYSE:IONQ), a leader in quantum computing, has announced amendments to its bylaws affecting quorum requirements and advance notice provisions for stockholder meetings. The changes, approved by the company’s Board of Directors on Monday, took effect immediately.

The updated bylaws now state that a quorum for stockholder meetings will be constituted by the presence of one-third of the voting power of outstanding shares, whether in person, by remote communication if applicable, or by proxy. Previously, a majority of the voting power was required to establish a quorum.

Additionally, IonQ has refined its advance notice procedures for stockholder meetings, aligning them with current best practices. These amendments are detailed in the full text of the Amended Bylaws, which were filed as part of the company’s recent SEC Form 8-K.

IonQ, incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in College Park, Maryland, specializes in computer integrated systems design. The company, formerly known as dMY Technology Group, Inc. III, has made these changes to its bylaws as part of its ongoing governance and operational adjustments.

The company’s common stock and warrants are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols IONQ and IONQ WS, respectively. This information is based on the latest 8-K filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Additionally, IonQ has been selected to participate in the first stage of DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, which aims to explore the feasibility of industrial-scale quantum computers.
