Forward Looking Statements Certain statements included in this Presentation that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as believe, may, will, estimate, continue, anticipate, intend, expect, should, would, plan, predict, potential, seem, seek, future, outlook, and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Presentation, and on the current expectations of the respective management of IonQ and dMY and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of IonQ and dMY. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Proposed Business Combination, including the risk that any regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Proposed Business Combination or that the approval of the stockholders of dMY or IonQ is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Business Combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to IonQ; risks related to the performance of IonQs business and the timing of expected business or revenue milestones; the effects of competition on IonQs business; the amount of redemption requests made by dMYs stockholders; the ability of dMY or IonQ to issue equity or equity-linked securities or obtain debt financing in connection with the Proposed Business Combination or in the future; and those factors discussed in dMYs final prospectus that forms a part of dMYs Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-249524), filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) on November 16, 2020 (the Prospectus) under the heading Risk Factors, and other documents dMY has filed, or will file, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither dMY nor IonQ presently know, or that dMY nor IonQ currently believe are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect dMYs and IonQs expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Presentation. dMY and IonQ anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause dMYs and IonQs assessments to change. However, while dMY and IonQ may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, dMY and IonQ specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing dMYs and IonQs assessments of any date subsequent to the date of his Presentation. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. 2
Cautionary Notes (continued) Use of Projections This Presentation contains projected financial information. Such projected financial information constitutes forward-looking information, and is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underling such financial forecast information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive, and other risks and uncertainties. See Forward-Looking Statements above. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the financial forecast information contained in this Presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such forecasts will be achieved. Use of Data The data contained herein is derived from various internal and external sources. No representation is made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions made within or the accuracy or completeness of any projections or modeling or any other information contained herein. Any data on past performance or modeling contained herein is not an indication as to future performance. dMY and IonQ assume no obligation to update the information in this presentation. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics and Other Key Financial Metrics This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures (including on a forward-looking basis) such as EBITDA and EBITDA Margin. IonQ defines EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted for for interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and income taxes. EBITDA Margin is EBITDA divided by total revenue. These non-GAAP measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP counterparts are included in the Appendix to this presentation. IonQ believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about IonQ. IonQs management uses forward looking non-GAAP measures to evaluate IonQs projected financial and operating performance. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore IonQs non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Certain Risks Related to IonQ, Inc. All references to the Company, IonQ, we, us or our in this presentation refer to the business of IonQ, Inc. The risks presented below are certain of the general risks related to the Companys business, industry and ownership structure and are not exhaustive. The list below is qualified in its entirety by disclosures contained in future filings by the Company, or by third parties (including dMY Technology Group, Inc. III.) with respect to the Company, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These risks speak only as of the date of this presentation and we make no commitment to update such disclosure. The risks highlighted in future filings with the SEC may differ significantly from and will be more extensive than those presented below. IonQ has a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to forecast our future results of operations. IonQ has a history of operating losses and may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future. IonQ may not be able to scale its business quickly enough to meet its customers growing needs, and if it is not able to grow efficiently, its operating results could be harmed. The quantum computing industry is competitive on a global scale with many countries aspiring to successfully develop quantum computing. If IonQ is not able to compete successfully, its business, financial results and future prospects will be harmed. The quantum computing industry is in its early stages and is volatile, and if it does not develop, if it develops slower than IonQ expects, if it develops in a manner that does not require use of IonQs quantum computing solutions, if it encounters negative publicity or if IonQs solution does not drive commercial engagement, the growth of its business will be harmed. Even if IonQ is successful in developing quantum computing systems and executing its strategy, competitors in the industry may achieve technological breakthroughs which render IonQs quantum computing systems obsolete or inferior to other products. If IonQs computers fail to achieve a broad quantum advantage, or it is delayed in doing so, its business, financial condition and future prospects may be harmed. IonQs operating and financial results forecast relies in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by the company. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, IonQs actual operating results may be materially different from its forecasted results. IonQs estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the market in which it competes achieves the forecasted growth, IonQs business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all. IonQ may be unable to successfully scale up manufacturing of its products in sufficient quantity and quality, in a timely or cost-effective manner, or at all. Unforeseen issues associated with scaling up and constructing quantum computing technology at commercially viable levels could negatively impact IonQs business, financial condition and results of operations. IonQ could suffer disruptions, outages, defects and other performance and quality problems with its quantum computing systems or with the public cloud and internet infrastructure on which it relies. Supply chain issues, including a shortage of adequate component supply or manufacturing capacity, or any political challenges between the United States and countries in which IonQ suppliers are located, including China, could have an adverse impact on its business and operating results. If IonQ cannot successfully execute on its strategy, including in response to changing customer needs and new technologies and other market requirements, or achieve its objectives in a timely manner, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. IonQ is highly dependent on its co-founders, who are employed by Duke University, and its ability to attract and retain senior management and other key employees, such as quantum physicists and other key technical employees is critical to its success. If IonQ is unable to retain talented, highly-qualified senior management, engineers and other key employees or attract them when needed, it could negatively impact its business. IonQs failure to effectively develop and expand its sales and marketing capabilities could harm its ability to increase its customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of its quantum computing capabilities. 3
Cautionary Notes (continued) IonQ depends on a particular isotope of an atomic element that provides qubits for its ion trap technology. If IonQ is unable to procure these isotopically enriched atomic samples, or is unable to do so on a timely and cost-effective basis, and in sufficient quantities, IonQ may incur significant costs or delays which could negatively affect its operations and business. If IonQs quantum computing systems are not compatible with some or all industry-standard software and hardware, its business could be harmed. System security and data protection breaches, as well as cyber-attacks, could disrupt IonQs operations, which may damage IonQs reputation and adversely affect its business. State, federal and foreign laws and regulations related to privacy, data use and security could adversely affect IonQ. IonQ is subject to U.S. and foreign anti-corruption, anti-bribery and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject us to criminal or civil liability and harm our business. IonQ is subject to governmental export and import controls that could impair its ability to compete in international markets due to licensing requirements and be subject to liability if it is not in compliance with applicable laws. Unfavorable conditions in IonQs industry or the global economy could limit the companys ability to grow its business and negatively affect its results of operations. IonQ is subject to requirements relating to environmental and safety regulations and environmental remediation matters which could adversely affect its business, results of operation and reputation. IonQ has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. If IonQ is unable to remediate these material weaknesses, or if IonQ identifies additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fails to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, this may result in material misstatements of IonQs consolidated financial statements or cause IonQ to fail to meet its periodic reporting obligations or cause our access to the capital markets to be impaired. IonQ may need additional capital to pursue its business objectives and respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances, and it cannot be sure that additional financing will be available. Acquisitions, divestitures, strategic investments and strategic partnerships could disrupt IonQs business and harm its financial condition and operating results. The COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact on IonQs business, results of operations and financial condition. IonQs business is exposed to risks associated with litigation, investigations and regulatory proceedings. IonQs ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes may be limited in connection with the business combination or other ownership changes. Licensing of intellectual property is of critical importance to IonQs business. For example, IonQ licenses patents (some of which are foundational patents) and other intellectual property from the University of Maryland and Duke University on an exclusive basis. If the license agreement with these universities terminates, or if any of the other agreements under which IonQ acquired or licensed, or will acquire or license, material intellectual property rights is terminated, IonQ could lose the ability to develop and operate its business. If IonQ is unable to obtain and maintain patent protection for its products and technology, or if the scope of the patent protection obtained is not sufficiently broad or robust, its competitors could develop and commercialize products and technology similar or identical to IonQs, and its ability to successfully commercialize its product and technology may be adversely affected. Moreover, the secrecy of our trade secrets could be compromised, which could cause us to lose the competitive advantage resulting from these trade secrets. IonQs patent applications may not result in issued patents or its patent rights may be contested, circumvented, invalidated or limited in scope, any of which could have a material adverse effect on IonQs ability to prevent others from interfering with its commercialization of its products. IonQ may face patent infringement and other intellectual property claims that could be costly to defend, result in injunctions and significant damage awards or other costs (including indemnification of third parties or costly licensing arrangements (if licenses are available at all)) and limit our ability to use certain key technologies in the future or require development of non-infringing products, services, or technologies, which could result in a significant expenditure and otherwise harm our business. Some of our in-licensed intellectual property, including the intellectual property licensed from the University of Maryland and Duke University, has been conceived or developed through government funded research and thus may be subject to federal regulations providing for certain right for the United States government or imposing certain obligations on IonQ, such as a license to the United States government under such intellectual property, march-in rights, certain reporting requirements and a preference for U.S.-based companies, and compliance with such regulations may limit IonQs exclusive rights and its ability to contract with non-U.S. manufacturers. Following the consummation of the business combination, the combined company will incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could negatively impact its business, financial condition and results of operations. Our success could be impacted by the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed, or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed business combination or that the approval of the stockholders of dMY is not obtained. If the business combinations benefits do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of dMYs securities or, following the closing, the combined entitys securities, may decline. 4

Quantum Machine Learning Problem Machine learning powers much of modern technology, but further improvement requires prohibitively expensive classical computation. As an example, Google and DeepMind have used ML techniques to achieve a 40% reduction in energy used for cooling Googles datacenters.1 Solution A quantum computer can map classical data onto complex quantum states, revealing otherwise-hidden correlations in the data, and adding new quantum-trained models to the existing portfolio could improve overall predictive performance. Even when ML-optimized, Googles datacenters consume $500 million per year in energy, giving even modest increases in efficiency the potential for large impact.

Optimization: Logistics Problem As an illustrative example among many parcel services: a UPS driver makes an average of 135 deliveries daily.1 The number of possible routes they could take is so large, it has 227 digits. It would take a classical computer longer than the age of the universe to calculate the truly optimal route for just one driver. UPS would like to do this for more than 66,000 routes, daily. 1 Solution UPS estimates that their current software, which only provides approximately optimal routes, saves the company 100 million miles each year, at a cost savings of approximately $250 million per year. 2 With 1000 algorithmic qubits, a quantum computer could find truly optimal routing, saving additional millions.

Optimization: Improved Drug Discovery Problem The average cost to develop a new pharmaceutical is nearly $2.2 billion. A large portion of this cost is due to the inefficiency of pre-clinical research: it takes 10,000 small molecules initially screened to yield just 10 candidates for clinical trials, and fewer than 10% of clinical trial candidates result in a new drug.1 Solution Large-scale quantum computers will offer many potential improvements to this process, including more accurate computational chemistry and effect modeling. Reducing the cost of development by just 10% would translate to a customer benefit of $200 million.

Glossary Qubit: A quantum bit, or qubit, for short, is the basic building block of a quantum computer, analogous to a digital bit in a classical computer. Unlike a bit, which can only exist as a 0 or a 1, a qubit can exist in a superposition of these states and can be entangled with other qubits, unlocking much more computational ability. Gates: Similar to a classical computer, to perform a computation , we use what we call gates to manipulate qubits. Gates can act on one or many qubits. Physical Qubit: The hardware implementation of a qubit in a quantum computer. There are many physical qubit platforms, but ions have proven themselves as the ideal platform for quantum computation, as they offer unique benefits over other platforms. Fidelity: All physical qubits and the gates between them are inherently noisy, and this noise compounds with each operation performed. Fidelity is a common way of describing this noise, defined as 100% minus the error rate; i.e. a fidelity of 99% is the same as an error rate of 1%. Algorithmic Qubit (AQ): You cannot evaluate the power of a quantum system purely by its physical qubit count. The error rate of physical qubits and gates between them limits the number of useful operations one can perform. The algorithmic qubit metric incorporates these fidelity limits to create a synthetic count of useful qubits. Quantum Volume (QV): QV is a metric that measures the computational power of a universal quantum computer. Like Algorithmic Qubits, its useful because it uses both qubit counts and the amount of gate operations possible to produce a metric that attempts to describe only the algorithmically useful qubits in a system. AQ converts to QV as QV = 2AQ. Because QV numbers get astronomically large very fast, even for modestly sized computers, we prefer to use AQ. Quantum Processing Unit (QPU): a QPU is our name for a complete system made up of atomic qubits and the apparatus for controlling them. A QPU can be used as a standalone computer or can be combined with other QPUs using photonic interconnects to make a single, more powerful system, similar to blades in a server rack. Multi-Core: one component of IonQs technical roadmap, a multi-core QPU describes a single quantum processor that has multiple quantum compute zones much like a multi-core processor in a classical computer that can compute in parallel and be entangled via moving and recombining ion chains. Photonic Interconnect: another component of our multi-generational architecture plan, a photonic interconnect uses fiber optics and photons of light which can be thought of as communication qubits to create a single larger quantum computing system from multiple QPUs.
