INTRODUCTORY NOTE
The Domestication and the Mergers
As previously disclosed, on September 8, 2025, Churchill Capital Corp X, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Churchill”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (as amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Churchill, AH Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Churchill (“Merger Sub I”), AH Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Churchill (“Merger Sub II,” to be renamed “Infleqtion Quantum, LLC” effective at Closing), and ColdQuanta, Inc. (d/b/a Infleqtion), a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Infleqtion”).
On February 12, 2026, Churchill held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of Churchill (the “Special Meeting”) where the shareholders of Churchill considered and approved each proposal described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus starting on page 146, including approval of the Business Combination (as defined below).
On that same day, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and described in the section titled “Proposal No. 2—The Domestication Proposal” beginning on page 216 of the definitive proxy statement/final prospectus, dated January 23, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), Churchill filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which Churchill was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation, changing its name to “Infleqtion, Inc.” (the “Domestication”). Immediately prior to the Domestication, each then-issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of Churchill (“Churchill Class B Ordinary Share”) was converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of Churchill (“Churchill Class A Ordinary Share”). Further, in connection with the Domestication: (a) each then-issued and outstanding Churchill Class A Ordinary Share converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of common stock of Infleqtion, Inc., par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”); (b) each then-issued and outstanding warrant to acquire Churchill Class A Ordinary Shares converted automatically into a warrant to acquire a corresponding number of shares of the Common Stock, on a one-for-one basis (“Warrant”), and (c) each then-issued and outstanding unit of Churchill was cancelled, thereafter entitling the holder of such unit to one share of Common Stock and one-quarter of one Warrant.
On February 13, 2026, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and described in the section titled “Proposal No. 1—The Business Combination Proposal” beginning on page 146 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, Legacy Infleqtion consummated the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, whereby Merger Sub I merged with and into Legacy Infleqtion, with Legacy Infleqtion continuing as the surviving corporation (the date and time of such merger, the “Effective Time”) and, immediately thereafter, the surviving corporation merged with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II (renamed as “Infleqtion Quantum, LLC”) continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Infleqtion, Inc. (“Infleqtion” or the “Company” and such transactions collectively, the “Mergers,” and, together with the Domestication and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the related agreements, the “ Transactions” or the “ Business Combination”).
As a result of the Mergers, among other things, all shares of common stock of Legacy Infleqtion (“Legacy Infleqtion Common Stock”) (including shares of Legacy Infleqtion Common Stock issued upon the conversion of Legacy Infleqtion’s preferred stock and Legacy Infleqtion restricted stock awards in respect of Legacy Infleqtion preferred stock) issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares (each as defined in the Merger Agreement)) were automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an aggregate of 151,804,988 shares of Common Stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share).
At the Effective Time, each (i) outstanding and unexercised Legacy Infleqtion option (whether or not vested) was assumed by the Company and converted into an option to purchase shares of Common Stock, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, exercise and expiration provisions) as applied to each such Legacy Infleqtion option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) outstanding Legacy Infleqtion restricted stock award that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into a Company restricted stock award subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Legacy Infleqtion restricted stock award immediately prior to the Effective Time (including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions).

Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, the Reg Rights Holders have agreed not to transfer their respective shares for a period of 180 days following the Closing Date; however, such transfer restrictions terminate as of the date on which the dollar volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock on The New York Stock Exchange, or such other securities exchange where the Common Stock is primarily listed or quoted, equals or exceeds $12.00 for any 15 trading days within any 180-day consecutive trading day period. The terms of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement are described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section titled “Proposal No. 1—The Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Subscription Agreements” beginning on page 163 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
