Arqit Registration Statement Related to Business Combination With Centricus Acquisition Corp. Declared Effective By SEC

▤ Summary

Centricus shareholders of record as of July 26, 2021 will be mailed the proxy materials in connection with the Business Combination and will be entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting. “We are pleased to be moving into the final stage of our proposed Business Combination which will bring Arqit to the public markets” said Garth Ritchie Chief Executive Officer of Centricus. Arqit has continued to execute on its plan since the initial announcement of the Business Combination, confirming strategic collaborations with industry leaders such as British Telecom, Sumitomo, Northrop Grumman, Honeywell, Leonardo, Virgin Orbit, amongst others. The cyber threat continues to escalate globally, with almost weekly headline grabbing breaches of key technological infrastructure in the public and private sectors - Arqit’s ability to deliver symmetric key encryption to any end-point users, coupled with company’s ability to win blue chip customers, has allowed the board of Centricus Acquisition Corp. to unanimously recommend this transaction to shareholders. We believe that Arqit is set to deliver on its vision of becoming the future of encryption which will accelerate as the marketplace comprehends the imminent threat that quantum computers pose”.
