Strong balance sheet to fund growth with cash and cash equivalents of approximately €312.9 million as of August 27, 2026, following the successful business combination with Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. II and related financing transactions as described below.

(1) Booked and awarded business include grants, tax credit and multi-year customer contracts.

“During the first half of 2026, we continued to deepen our engagement with our customers of choice across financial services, energy and advanced materials to solve high-value business problems and integrate quantum computing into real-world workflows. As demonstrated by our expanding relationships with organizations including NVIDIA, Google, Saudi Aramco and Crédit Agricole, the ability to deliver quantum advantage on meaningful applications today is driving commercial momentum, strengthening our backlog and validating quantum computing as a practical tool for creating measurable value for enterprise customers,” said Dr. Wasiq Bokhari, Chief Executive Officer of Pasqal.

“At the same time, we continue to execute against our roadmap. Recent milestones, including the demonstration of more than 1,000 physical qubits, industry-leading progress in logical qubits, and the successful application of our systems to solve complex differential equations and simulate materials beyond the practical reach of classical computing, reinforce our confidence in the strength and differentiation of Pasqal’s neutral-atom approach and position the Company to capitalize on the growing demand for practical quantum computing solutions,” continued Dr. Bokhari.

“Importantly, Pasqal’s capital-efficient business model enables us to pursue these technology and commercial objectives without the significant infrastructure investments required by many alternative quantum architectures. By leveraging a highly scalable neutral-atom platform that can be deployed in conventional data center environments, we are able to bring quantum solutions to customers more quickly, lower total cost of ownership, and accelerate the transition from research programs to production applications. This capital efficiency benefits both Pasqal and our customers, allowing us to focus resources on delivering practical solutions to real-world business challenges today while advancing toward fault-tolerant quantum computing.”

“As we enter the second half of the year as a publicly traded company, we believe Pasqal is uniquely positioned at the intersection of scientific innovation and commercial adoption. With a growing portfolio of customer engagements, a differentiated technology platform, a disciplined approach to capital allocation, and a strong balance sheet to support future growth, we remain focused on delivering practical quantum solutions that create value today while building the foundation for the next generation of quantum computing.”

First Half 2026 Business and Technological Highlights

• Introduced New Integration with NVIDIA CUDA-Q: Integrated NVIDIA CUDA-Q with Pasqal’s platform to advance hybrid quantum-classical computing and simplify deployment of quantum workloads within existing HPC infrastructure.
• Experimental Validation of Quantum Simulation: Pasqal and its academic partners used up to 256 atoms on Pasqal’s Orion Beta QPUs to simulate the magnetic material TmMgGaO₄ and compared the results against laboratory measurements on crystals of that material. The work was among the studies cited by Nature on March 30, 2026, in its coverage of quantum simulations being verified against experimental data for the first time.
• Scaling of the Qubit Register: Pasqal prepared defect-free registers of 1,024 atoms, doubling its previous result of 506 atoms, and extended atom lifetimes approximately 40-fold through a redesigned cryogenic platform.
• Research Milestone in Logical Qubit Computing: Pasqal executed a full machine-learning application for solving differential equations using logical qubits, with the logical implementation outperforming its physical-qubit counterparts, in what the Company believes to be the first such comparison on a full application rather than on isolated sub-routines.
• Selected as XPRIZE Quantum Applications Finalist: Pasqal is one of five teams advancing in the XPRIZE Quantum Applications competition, a three-year global initiative sponsored by Google Quantum AI and the Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA) to accelerate the development of quantum computing solutions for real-world challenges. Final results are expected to be announced in 2027.
• Partnered with True Nexus to Apply Quantum Computing to Next‑Generation Food Protein Design: The partnership aims to create advanced computational models for protein functionality, expanding Pasqal’s presence in industrial applications and demonstrating the potential of neutral-atom quantum systems in life sciences and sustainable food innovation.
• Launched Saudi Arabia’s First Quantum Computer and the Middle East’s First Commercial Quantum Computing as a Service Platform: The deployment provides cloud-based access to a 200-qubit neutral-atom system and marks a significant milestone in the commercialization of quantum computing for industrial applications.
• Advanced Strategic Partnership with Crédit Agricole CIB to Deploy Quantum Computing Applied to Finance: The strategic partnership is expected to accelerate the transition from quantum research to operational deployment in capital markets activities.
• Deployed Italy’s First Neutral Atom Quantum Computer: Delivered a 140-qubit system designed for integration with the Leonardo supercomputer, expanding Pasqal’s installed base of production quantum systems across strategic research and commercial computing centers.
• Strengthened Leadership Team: Appointed Stéphane Rougeot as Chief Financial Officer to lead Pasqal’s global finance organization.

Recent Developments

• Memo of Understanding (“MOU”) with Eleven Ventures: Announced a MOU with Eleven Ventures, a Kingdom of Saudi Arabia investment platform and venture capital firm, to establish a joint venture to deploy and commercialize Pasqal’s quantum computing systems across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
• Collaboration with King Abdulaziz City for Science & Technology (“KACST”): Entered into research collaboration agreement with KACST to advance research and development in quantum technologies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
• Advance Next-Generation Technologies for Critical Mineral Production: Partnered with USA Rare Earth and Riven Systems to advance next-generation technologies for critical mineral production.
• Photon Integrated Circuit (“PIC”) Packaging Center of Competency: Launched, through its Canadian subsidiary Aeponyx Enterprises Inc. (“Aeponyx”), a Center of Competency in Photonic Integrated Circuit (“PIC”) Packaging at the C2MI in Bromont, Quebec, intended to establish a domestic Canadian supply chain supporting the photonic layer of Pasqal’s hardware roadmap.
• PIC Trapped Atoms Further Enhancing Technological Roadmap: Pasqal trapped individual atoms using laser light generated by a PIC, holding four rubidium atoms in four optical traps from a single photonic chip with lifetimes of approximately 27.5 seconds, matching the Company’s bulk-optics systems. The platform was co-developed with Aeponyx, acquired less than 18 months earlier, and reduces the optical footprint by up to a factor of 50, addressing a principal constraint on manufacturing neutral-atom processors at industrial scale.
