**Xanadu Quantum Technologies and Crane Harbor Acquisition Corp. Announce Confidential Submission of a Draft Registration Statement on Form F-4 in Connection with the Proposed Business Combination**

TORONTO – November 24, 2025 – Crane Harbor Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: CHAC), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company ("Crane Harbor"), and Xanadu Quantum Technologies Inc. ("Xanadu"), a leading photonic quantum computing company, today announced the confidential submission of a draft registration statement on Form F-4 (the "Registration Statement") by a newly-formed entity, Xanadu Quantum Technologies Limited ("NewCo"), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The submission of the Registration Statement marks an important milestone toward the completion of the previously disclosed proposed business combination between Crane Harbor and Xanadu, which has an expected pro forma enterprise value of approximately US$3.1 billion and pro forma market capitalization of US$3.6 billion.

The combined company, Xanadu Quantum Technologies Limited, is expected to be capitalized with approximately US$500 million in gross proceeds, comprising approximately US$225 million from Crane Harbor's trust account, assuming no redemptions by Crane Harbor's public stockholders, as well as US$275 million from a group of strategic and institutional investors participating in the transaction via a common equity committed private placement investment ("PIPE"). The US$275 million PIPE investment exceeds the minimum cash required to close the transaction under the business combination agreement.

"This represents a significant regulatory step forward in our mission to bring Xanadu's groundbreaking photonic quantum computing technology to the public markets," said Christian Weedbrook, Chief Executive Officer of Xanadu. "We remain committed to completing this transformative transaction that will strengthen Xanadu's position as a leader in the rapidly evolving quantum computing sector."

Founded in 2016, Xanadu represents a breakthrough in quantum computing technology, operating at true room temperature without the complex and energy-intensive cryogenics or laser cooling required by competing approaches, while delivering the world's first networked, modular, and scalable quantum computer through their Aurora system. Xanadu made history in 2022 as the first pure-play quantum computing company to achieve quantum supremacy with their 216-qubit Borealis system.

Beyond hardware innovation, Xanadu is a leader of the software revolution through PennyLane, the world's most implemented quantum programming platform and integrated across all major quantum computer providers regardless of modality. This business combination positions Xanadu to become the first and only publicly traded pure-play photonic quantum computing company, uniquely leveraging photonics as the only medium universally compatible across all quantum modalities for commercialization, including quantum networking, sensing, secure communications, and future applications.

Completion of the proposed transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the approval of the shareholders of each of Xanadu and Crane Harbor and the listing of the shares of the combined company on the Toronto Stock Exchange and The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, which is subject to stock exchange approval. The business combination is expected to close at the end of the first quarter of 2026.

We have based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and projections about future events. These statements include: the stock exchanges on which the shares of the combined company are expected to trade; pro forma enterprise value of the combined company; market capitalization of the combined company; proceeds from the business combination and related PIPE; funds received by the combined company from Crane Harbor's trust account and redemptions by Crane Harbor's public shareholders; projections regarding Xanadu's ability to commercialize new products and technologies and the timing thereof; the successful consummation and potential benefits of the proposed transaction and expectations related to its terms and timing; Xanadu becoming the first and only publicly traded pure-play photonic quantum computing company; and the expected timing of closing of the business combination.

These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on 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 of which are beyond the control of Xanadu and Crane Harbor. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause the actual results of the combined company following the proposed transaction, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include: that Xanadu is pursuing an emerging technology, faces significant technical challenges and may not achieve commercialization or market acceptance; Xanadu's historical net losses and limited operating history; that there is substantial doubt about Xanadu's ability to continue as a going concern; Xanadu's expectations regarding future financial performance, capital requirements and unit economics; Xanadu's use and reporting of business and operational metrics; Xanadu's competitive landscape; Xanadu's dependence on members of its senior management and its ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the potential need for additional future financing; Xanadu's ability to manage growth and expand its operations; potential future acquisitions or investments in companies, products, services or technologies; Xanadu's reliance on strategic partners and other third parties; Xanadu's concentration of revenue in contracts with government or state-funded entities; Xanadu's ability to maintain, protect and defend its intellectual property rights; risks associated with privacy, data protection or cybersecurity incidents and related regulations; the use, rate of adoption, and regulation of artificial intelligence and machine learning; uncertainty or changes with respect to laws and regulations; uncertainty or changes with respect to taxes, trade conditions and the macroeconomic environment; material weaknesses in Xanadu's internal control over financial reporting and the combined company's ability to maintain internal control over financial reporting and operate as a public company; the possibility that required shareholder and regulatory approvals for the proposed transaction are delayed or are not obtained, which could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed transaction; the risk that shareholders of Crane Harbor could elect to have their shares redeemed, leaving the combined company with insufficient cash to execute its business plans; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the business combination agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings or government investigations that may be commenced against Xanadu or Crane Harbor; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction; the ability of Crane Harbor or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the proposed transaction or in the future; and other factors described in Crane Harbor's filings with the SEC. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, including that none of the risks identified above materialize; that there are no unforeseen changes to economic and market conditions, and that no significant events occur outside the ordinary course of business. Additional information concerning these and other factors that may impact such forward-looking statements can be found in filings and potential filings by Xanadu, Crane Harbor or the combined company resulting from the proposed transaction with the SEC, including under the heading "Risk Factors." If any of these risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.
