Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously disclosed, on January 25, 2026, SkyWater Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with IonQ, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“IonQ”), Iris Merger Subsidiary 1 Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of IonQ (“Merger Sub 1”), and Iris Merger Subsidiary 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of IonQ (“Merger Sub 2”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IonQ (the “First Merger”) and (ii) immediately following the effective time of the First Merger, the Company, as the surviving entity of the First Merger, will merge with and into Merger Sub 2, which will survive the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IonQ (together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”).

The Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders at 9:00 a.m., Central Time, on May 8, 2026 (the “Special Meeting”) virtually via live webcast. At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on two proposals as set forth below, with the Board of Directors of the Company recommending a vote “FOR” each of the proposals, each of which was described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement, dated March 31, 2026, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Proxy Statement”). The number of votes cast for and against and the number of abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to each proposal voted upon are set forth below (proposal numbers correspond to the proposal numbers used in the Proxy Statement).

As of the close of business on the record date for the Special Meeting, which was March 26, 2026, there were 49,156,853 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. A total of 33,080,837 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 67% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the record date for the Special Meeting, were represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, and constituted a quorum to conduct business at the Special Meeting.
