IQM pre-closing ownership 84.7% of shares Ownership of issued and outstanding IQM Shares post-transaction
Business Combination Agreement financial
"entered into a business combination agreement, dated as of February 22, 2026"
A business combination agreement is a detailed contract that lays out the terms for two companies to join together—covering price, how ownership will be split, the steps needed to close the deal, and what each side promises to do or avoid before closing. For investors it matters because the agreement determines potential changes in value, control, timing, and risk exposure—think of it like the playbook for a merger that shows who wins, who pays, and what could still derail the plan.
PIPE Shares financial
"sold and issued an aggregate of approximately 14.5 million ordinary shares, including in the form of IQM ADSs (collectively, the “PIPE Shares”)"
Registration Rights Agreement financial
"entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”)"
A registration rights agreement is a contract that gives investors the option to have their ownership stakes officially registered with the government, making it easier to sell their shares later. This agreement matters because it provides investors with a clearer path to cash out their investments if they choose, offering more liquidity and confidence in their ability to sell their holdings when desired.
Warrant Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement financial
"entered into a warrant assignment, assumption and amendment agreement (the “Warrant Assignment Agreement”)"
Form 25 regulatory
"requested that Nasdaq file a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) ... on Form 25"
A Form 25 is an official filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission used to remove a company's stock or other security from a national exchange list. Investors should care because delisting often means less visibility, lower trading volume and wider price swings—similar to a product moving from a major supermarket to a small local market, which can make buying, selling and valuing the security more difficult.
Form 15 regulatory
"RAAQ intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC in order to complete the deregistration"
A Form 15 is a short filing a public company uses with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to stop or pause its routine public reporting requirements when it meets certain legal thresholds (such as a low number of public shareholders) or other qualifying conditions. Investors should care because filing one typically means less public financial information and lower trading liquidity—similar to a shop taking down its public notice board, making it harder to track performance and buy or sell shares.

Introductory Note

 

As previously disclosed, on February 22, 2026, Real Asset Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“RAAQ”), entered into a business combination agreement, dated as of February 22, 2026 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among RAAQ, IQM Quantum Computers Oyj (fka IQM Finland Oy), a limited liability company (Fi. osakeyhtiö) incorporated under the laws of Finland (“IQM”), IQM US LLC, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Delaware and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of IQM (“Merger Sub”) and ECLIPSE QC S.à.r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of IQM. On the Closing Date (as defined below), pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (i) IQM effectuated certain internal capital restructuring steps (the “IQM Capital Restructuring”) prior to the effective time of the Merger (as defined below) (the “Merger Effective Time”), and (ii) promptly thereafter, RAAQ merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of IQM. As a result of the Merger, the reporting entity of this Current Report on Form 8-K is IQM US LLC.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, RAAQ, RAAQ Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), IQM and the SPAC Insiders entered into a sponsor support agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to forfeit (i) 1,375,000 Founder Shares for no consideration and (ii) up to 3,725,000 Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor (such forfeitures, the “Sponsor Forfeitures”). The SPAC Insiders also agreed to transfer restrictions with respect to 70% of the IQM ADSs (as defined below) received on the Closing Date, ending on the earlier of (a) July 1, 2027, (b) the date on which the last sale price of IQM ADSs equals or exceeds $12.00 per IQM ADS for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period commencing at least 150 days after July 1, 2026, or (c) the completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or similar transaction.

 

On June 25, 2026, RAAQ held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and approved the proposal to approve the Transactions pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination”).

 

On July 1, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement: (i) immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, all issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares of RAAQ, par value $0.0001 per share (“RAAQ Class B Ordinary Shares”), other than those subject to the Sponsor Forfeiture (as described below) were automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, into Class A ordinary shares of RAAQ, par value $0.0001 per share (“RAAQ Class A Ordinary Shares”), in accordance with the terms of RAAQ’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended from time to time ; (ii) each issued and outstanding unit of RAAQ immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time was automatically separated (the “Unit Separation”) into its components of one RAAQ Class A Ordinary Share and one-half of one warrant to purchase one RAAQ Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share (the “RAAQ Public Warrants”); (iii) immediately following the Unit Separation and the IQM Capital Restructuring, each RAAQ Class A Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (including those issued in connection with the RAAQ Class B Conversion (as defined below)) was automatically canceled in exchange for the right to receive one American depositary share (“ADS”) of IQM (each, an “IQM ADS”), with each IQM ADS representing one ordinary share of IQM, with no nominal value (each, an “IQM Share”) (such IQM ADSs, the “Merger Consideration”); and (iv) each warrant of RAAQ (including the RAAQ Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued by RAAQ, collectively referred to herein as the “RAAQ Warrants”) outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time was assumed by IQM and became a warrant to purchase one IQM ADS representing one IQM Share (each, an “IQM Warrant”) at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.

 

On the Closing Date, IQM sold and issued an aggregate of approximately 14.5 million ordinary shares, including in the form of IQM ADSs (collectively, the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share or ADS in a private placement, for an aggregate amount of approximately $145 million (the “PIPE Investment Amount”) pursuant to certain subscription agreements (each, a “PIPE Subscription Agreement” and collectively, the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with institutional and other accredited investors, including certain SPAC Insiders (the “PIPE Investors”). As of the Closing Date and following the Sponsor Forfeitures, the Sponsor was issued 4,240,000 IQM ADSs in exchange for its Founder Shares and 2,180,981 IQM Warrants in exchange for its Private Placement Warrants. The Sponsor did not receive any cash compensation during the ordinary course of managing RAAQ or in connection with the Business Combination.

On July 1, 2026, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, RAAQ notified Nasdaq that the Business Combination had become effective and requested that Nasdaq file a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) on Form 25 to notify the SEC that the RAAQ Class A Ordinary Shares, RAAQ Public Warrants and RAAQ Units (collectively, the “RAAQ Securities”) were to be delisted and deregistered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.

These resignations were not due to any disagreement between RAAQ and the officers and directors on any matter relating to RAAQ’s operation, policies and practice.
