D-Wave Quantum Retires Public Call Options, Issues 7.2M New Shares
D-Wave Quantum Inc. has announced the retirement of all outstanding public call options on the stock market on November 19, 2025, following the last trading day on November 17, 2025. This decision, aimed at simplifying the company's capital structure, will result in the issuance of approximately 7.2 million new common shares.
The retirement of these options will lead to the expiration of all unexercised options, which number around 5 million as of October 17. This process is expected to cause less than a 2.1% dilution for existing shareholders. The stock market has already begun to react to this strategic financial adjustment, with D-Wave shares rising by 4% in Monday's premarket trading. The upcoming trading sessions will provide further insight into the stock market's sentiment regarding this change. Notably, there has been a lack of explicit analyst recommendations or detailed stock rating reports for D-Wave Quantum since October 21, 2021, leaving the stock market to process this news independently.
D-Wave Quantum's decision to retire public call options and issue new shares will directly impact the company's capital structure. While the stock market has shown initial positivity with a 4% share price increase, the sustained sentiment remains to be seen as trading continues. Existing shareholders will experience minimal dilution, with the process set to conclude on November 19, 2025.
