Under the agreement, SkyWater shareholders receive $15.00 in cash plus 0.4883 shares of IonQ common stock for each SkyWater share.

The combined company plans a second quarter earnings call on August 5, 2026 after the U.S. market close and an investor day on September 8, 2026.
IonQ, Inc. has received final regulatory approval to consummate its acquisition of SkyWater Technology under a previously signed Agreement and Plan of Merger.

IonQ states that the combination is expected to materially accelerate its quantum computing roadmap, secure a fully scalable domestic supply chain, and support its chip-focused manufacturing approach. Having obtained all required regulatory approvals and satisfied remaining closing conditions, the companies anticipate closing the transaction on July 31, 2026, followed by a combined second quarter earnings call on August 5, 2026 and an investor day on September 8, 2026.

IonQ ended the quarter with $3.1 billion in cash, cash equivalents and investments, and reported record remaining performance obligations of $470 million, up 554% year-on-year.
