**23,648,889 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK** 

------

This prospectus supplement supplements the prospectus, dated September 14, 2022 (the "Prospectus"), which forms a part of our registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-266938). This prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information in the Prospectus with the information contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 27, 2023 (the "Current Report"). Accordingly, we have attached the Current Report to this prospectus supplement.

The Prospectus and this prospectus supplement relate to the offer and resale of up to 23,648,889 shares of our common stock, $0.0001 per share (the "common stock"), by B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC ("B. Riley" or the "selling stockholder"). The shares included in the Prospectus consist of shares of common stock that we have issued or that we may, in our discretion, elect to issue and sell to B. Riley, from time to time after the date of the Prospectus, pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement we entered into with B. Riley on August 11, 2022 (the "Purchase Agreement"), in which B. Riley has committed to purchase from us, at our direction, up to $75,000,000 of our common stock, subject to terms and conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement. Concurrently with our execution of the Purchase Agreement on August 11, 2022, we issued 171,008 shares of common stock to B. Riley as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase shares of our common stock at our election in our sole discretion, from time to time after the date of the Prospectus, upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. See the section of the Prospectus titled "Committed Equity Financing" for a description of the Purchase Agreement and the section titled "Selling Stockholder" for additional information regarding the selling stockholder.

We are not selling any shares of common stock being offered by the Prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of such shares by B. Riley. However, we may receive up to $75,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds from sales of our common stock to B. Riley that we may, in our discretion, elect to make, from time to time after the date of the Prospectus, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Riley may sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of common stock included in the Prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. See the section of the Prospectus titled "Plan of Distribution (Conflict of Interest)" for more information about how B. Riley may sell or otherwise dispose of the common stock being offered in the Prospectus. B. Riley is an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

This prospectus supplement updates and supplements the information in the Prospectus and is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in combination with, the Prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto. This prospectus supplement is qualified by reference to the Prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto, except to the extent that the information in this prospectus supplement updates and supersedes the information contained therein.

The common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "RGTI." On January 26, 2023, the last reported sales price of the common stock as reported on Nasdaq was $0.808 per share.

------

We are an "emerging growth company" as defined under U.S. federal securities laws and, as such, have elected to comply with reduced public company reporting requirements. The Prospectus complies with the requirements that apply to an issuer that is an emerging growth company.

------

**Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risks. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described in the section titled "<u>Risk Factors</u>" beginning on page 20 of the prospectus, and under similar headings in any amendments or supplements to the prospectus.** 

------

**Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities, or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.**

On January 25, 2023, Rigetti Computing, Inc. (the "Company") received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC, ("Nasdaq"), indicating that, based on the closing bid price for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the listing of the Company's common stock was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Bid Price Rule").

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until July 24, 2023 (the "Compliance Date"), to regain compliance. If at any time during this 180-day period the closing bid price of the Company's common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance. If the Company is unable to regain compliance before the Compliance Date, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days to satisfy the Bid Price Rule. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the Bid Price Rule, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during such additional compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to Nasdaq staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible for the additional compliance period, and the Company does not regain compliance by the Compliance Date, the Nasdaq Capital Market will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the panel, such appeal would be successful.

The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and, as appropriate, will consider available options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, including potentially seeking to effect a reverse stock split. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq's Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria and that the Company will be able to maintain its listing with Nasdaq.
