Pender Growth Fund Inc. (the \u201cCompany\u201d or \u201cPTF\u201d) is pleased to report that long time holding D-Wave Systems Inc. (\u201cD-Wave\u201d) has announced that it has entered into a definitive transaction agreement with DPCM Capital, Inc. (\u201cDPCM Capital\u201d) (NYSE: XPOA<\/strong>), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company.<\/p>\n

This is exciting news for D-Wave, the leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, and the only provider building both annealing and gate-model quantum computers. The transaction will enable D-Wave to accelerate the adoption of quantum computing in key segments, including manufacturing, logistics, pharmaceuticals, finance, and government, further enhancing D-Wave\u2019s leadership in commercial quantum computing.<\/p>\n

D-Wave expects the transaction to close in the second quarter of 2022, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the approval of the shareholders of DPCM Capital. The transaction values D-Wave at an equity value of approximately US$1.2 billion. PTF holds shares of D-Wave directly and owns 97% of Pender Private Investments Inc. which also holds shares of D-Wave. If successfully completed at the current terms, the Reporting NAV of PTF would increase by approximately CAD$6.4 million. There are currently 7,610,629 shares of PTF issued and outstanding, and the increase would represent approximately CAD$0.85 per PTF share.<\/p>\n

This transaction strengthens\u00a0D-Wave\u2019s impact\u00a0as a center of Canadian quantum computing innovation and technology and\u00a0is expected to accelerate its ability to expand quantum computing to innovative commercial quantum solutions for\u00a0enterprises.<\/p>\n

Renseignements sur les \u00e9nonc\u00e9s prospectifs <\/strong><\/p>\n

Ce communiqu\u00e9 de presse peut contenir des \u00e9nonc\u00e9s prospectifs (avec le sens qu\u2019on leur accorde dans les lois sur les valeurs mobili\u00e8res en vigueur) relatifs \u00e0 la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 et au contexte dans lequel elle exploite. Les \u00e9nonc\u00e9s prospectifs se reconnaissent habituellement \u00e0 l\u2019emploi de termes et expressions comme \u00ab\u2009croire\u2009\u00bb, \u00ab\u2009pr\u00e9voir\u2009\u00bb, \u00ab\u2009anticiper\u2009\u00bb, \u00ab\u2009avoir l\u2019intention de\u2009\u00bb, \u00ab\u2009estimer\u2009\u00bb, \u00ab\u2009planifier\u2009\u00bb et \u00ab\u2009pouvoir\u2009\u00bb, \u00ab\u2009\u00e9valuer\u2009\u00bb et de verbes au futur ou au conditionnel, et autres expressions comparables. Ces \u00e9nonc\u00e9s s\u2019appuient sur les attentes, estimations, pr\u00e9visions et projections de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 et comprennent, sans toutefois s\u2019y limiter, les \u00e9nonc\u00e9s portant sur la diminution des risques des portefeuilles de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, ainsi que leurs occasions de placement futures. Les \u00e9nonc\u00e9s prospectifs dans le pr\u00e9sent communiqu\u00e9 de presse sont \u00e9mis sur la base de certaines hypoth\u00e8ses\u202f: le rendement futur n\u2019est pas garanti et suppose des risques et des incertitudes qui sont difficiles \u00e0 contr\u00f4ler ou pr\u00e9voir. Un certain nombre de facteurs pourraient faire en sorte que les r\u00e9sultats r\u00e9els diff\u00e8rent consid\u00e9rablement des r\u00e9sultats discut\u00e9s dans les \u00e9nonc\u00e9s prospectifs, y compris, sans toutefois s\u2019y limiter, les facteurs mentionn\u00e9s dans la section \u00ab\u2009Facteurs de risque\u2009\u00bb de la notice annuelle de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, offerte sur le site www.sedar.com<\/a>. Rien ne garantit que ces \u00e9nonc\u00e9s prospectifs seront justes, car les r\u00e9sultats r\u00e9els peuvent nettement diff\u00e9rer de ceux pr\u00e9vus dans de tels \u00e9nonc\u00e9s. \u00c0 cet \u00e9gard, le lecteur ne doit pas se fier ind\u00fbment \u00e0 tout \u00e9nonc\u00e9 prospectif. Qui plus est, ces \u00e9nonc\u00e9s prospectifs sont \u00e9mis en date de ce communiqu\u00e9 de presse et, sauf lorsque la loi en vigueur l\u2019exige express\u00e9ment, la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 n\u2019est pas tenue de faire une mise \u00e0 jour publique ou de r\u00e9viser tout \u00e9nonc\u00e9 prospectif, que ce soit \u00e0 la suite d\u2019une nouvelle information, d\u2019\u00e9v\u00e9nements futurs ou de toute autre raison.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"fund-type":[],"news-type":[],"class_list":["post-36916","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPGF Potential Go Public Spac Transaction - PenderFund Capital Management<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Pender Growth Fund is pleased to report that D-Wave Systems has announced it has entered into a transaction agreement with DPCM Capital\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_CA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"PGF Potential Go Public Spac Transaction - PenderFund Capital Management\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Pender Growth Fund is pleased to report that D-Wave Systems has announced it has entered into a transaction agreement with DPCM Capital\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/staging.penderfund.com\/fr\/news\/pender-growth-fund-portfolio-company-d-wave-announces-a-potential-go-public-spac-transaction\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"PenderFund Capital Management\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/penderfund\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-07-24T22:42:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/staging.penderfund.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/d-wave-systems.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@penderfund\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Estimation du temps de lecture\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.penderfund.com\/news\/pender-growth-fund-portfolio-company-d-wave-announces-a-potential-go-public-spac-transaction\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/staging.penderfund.com\/news\/pender-growth-fund-portfolio-company-d-wave-announces-a-potential-go-public-spac-transaction\/\",\"name\":\"PGF Potential Go Public Spac Transaction - PenderFund Capital Management\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.penderfund.com\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-02-09T16:18:36+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-07-24T22:42:25+00:00\",\"description\":\"Pender Growth Fund is pleased to report that D-Wave Systems has announced it has entered into a transaction agreement with DPCM Capital\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.penderfund.com\/news\/pender-growth-fund-portfolio-company-d-wave-announces-a-potential-go-public-spac-transaction\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"fr-CA\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/staging.penderfund.com\/news\/pender-growth-fund-portfolio-company-d-wave-announces-a-potential-go-public-spac-transaction\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.penderfund.com\/news\/pender-growth-fund-portfolio-company-d-wave-announces-a-potential-go-public-spac-transaction\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/staging.penderfund.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"News\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/staging.penderfund.com\/news\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Pender Growth Fund Portfolio Company, D-Wave, Announces a Potential Go-Public SPAC Transaction\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/staging.penderfund.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/staging.penderfund.com\/\",\"name\":\"PenderFund Capital Management\",\"description\":\"Forward thinking.
