Punkt 5.07 – Ergebnisse der Jahreshauptversammlung 2025 von IonQ

IonQ, Inc. (NYSE: IONQ) berichtete über die Abstimmungsergebnisse seiner Jahreshauptversammlung am 17. Juni 2025. Zwei Direktoren der Klasse I wurden erfolgreich wiedergewählt und sollen bis zur Versammlung 2028 im Amt bleiben: Niccolo de Masi erhielt 60.572.382 „Für“-Stimmen gegenüber 1.986.960 Enthaltungen, während Inder M. Singh 50.750.772 „Für“-Stimmen gegenüber 11.808.570 Enthaltungen erhielt. Jede Vorlage verzeichnete 52.916.886 Broker-Non-Votes.

Der unverbindliche „Say-on-Pay“-Vorschlag wurde angenommen mit 39.900.600 Stimmen dafür (ca. 64 %), 22.233.654 dagegen (ca. 35 %) und 425.088 Enthaltungen, was darauf hindeutet, dass eine signifikante Minderheit der Aktionäre die derzeitigen Vergütungspraktiken infrage stellt.

Die Aktionäre bestätigten Ernst & Young LLP überwältigend als unabhängigen Abschlussprüfer für das Geschäftsjahr 2025 mit 114.159.284 „Für“-Stimmen (ca. 99 %), 588.969 dagegen und 727.975 Enthaltungen.

Es wurden keine weiteren Angelegenheiten vorgebracht, und das Formular 8-K enthielt keine Aktualisierungen zur finanziellen Leistung, Transaktionen oder strategischen Ankündigungen.

Positive
  • Board continuity secured through re-election of both Class I directors until 2028.
  • Independent auditor ratified with 99 % support, minimizing audit-related risk.
Negative
  • 35 % opposition to executive compensation highlights shareholder dissatisfaction and potential governance headwinds.

Insights

TL;DR: Routine meeting; directors re-elected, auditor confirmed, but 35 % ‘no’ on pay shows rising governance push-back.

The re-election of de Masi and Singh maintains board continuity, important for a fast-growing quantum-computing company. However, the 35 % opposition to executive compensation is well above the 20 % vigilance threshold used by many proxy advisors. Management should expect engagement demands and potential adjustments to pay structure in the 2026 proxy. Auditor ratification at 99 % removes uncertainty regarding 2025 financial statement sign-off. Overall impact is neutral: normal corporate governance cycle with a cautionary signal on compensation.

TL;DR: Voting results do not change the equity story; modest risk from elevated dissent on compensation.

From a valuation viewpoint the filing is non-financial and does not alter revenue or margin forecasts. Board stability supports strategic execution on IonQ’s technology roadmap. The sizeable ‘against’ vote on pay could distract management if follow-up engagement becomes protracted, but it is unlikely to affect near-term fundamentals. I view the disclosure as not materially impactful to our investment thesis.
