Alameddine Separation

On November 17, 2025, IonQ, Inc. (the “Company”) and Rima Alameddine determined that her last day as Chief Revenue Officer of the Company would be November 24, 2025. As a result of her departure, Ms. Alameddine will qualify for certain benefits under the Company’s Amended and Restated Executive Severance Plan (the “ Executive Severance Plan”) and her performance-based restricted stock unit (“ PSU”) award agreement (the “PSU Award Agreement”). Accordingly, also on November 17, 2025, the Company and Ms. Alameddine entered into a Separation Agreement (the “Alameddine Separation Agreement”) including a release of claims in favor of the Company and, as such, she will receive the following payments and benefits:

• Cash Severance
: A gross cash payment, less applicable withholdings and deductions, equal to (i) nine months of base salary, (ii) 100% of her 2025 annual target bonus and (iii) a portion of her 2025 annual target bonus, pro-rated to the number of days worked as an employee in 2025, which gross payment will be made in equal installments on the Company’s regular payroll schedule over nine months.

• COBRA Benefits
: If Ms. Alameddine elects to receive continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, the Company will pay the applicable premiums for her for up to nine months following the termination of her coverage as an employee on November 30, 2025.

• Equity Vesting
: Ms. Alameddine’s unvested restricted stock units and options will accelerate and become vested in full, and her PSUs will vest, based on target performance, prorated for the portion of the performance period during which she provided services to the Company.

Additionally, pursuant to the Alameddine Separation Agreement, Ms. Alameddine has agreed to serve in a non-employee advisory capacity to the Company from November 24, 2025 through December 31, 2025. During this period, she will continue to be paid her current base salary.
