D-Wave amends employment agreements for CFO John Markovich and another officer, effective 2025-05-06

5 CAL·1

SUMMARY

In a Form 8-K filed 2025-05-07 under Item 5.02, D-Wave Quantum disclosed amendments to the employment agreements of Chief Financial Officer John Markovich and officer Diane Nguyen, effective 2025-05-06. The filing was a compensation/officer-arrangement disclosure rather than a departure or new appointment.

WHY IT MATTERS

An officer compensation-arrangement amendment disclosed via Item 5.02 is a notable insider-alignment data point at a tracked pure-play, below the newsletter threshold.

SECOND-ORDER

Retention-oriented amendments to senior-officer agreements ahead of D-Wave's Advantage2 general-availability launch later in the month are consistent with locking in leadership around a commercial milestone.
