The Initiative is focused on developing next-generation optical computing technologies\ndesigned to address the performance, bandwidth, and energy limitations of traditional electronic computing architectures. In connection\nwith the Termination, the Company has determined to fully focus its efforts on the Initiative.\n\n \n\nOptical computing has the potential\nto address several of the challenges associated with conventional GPU-based computing. Artificial intelligence workloads are dominated\nby matrix multiplication operations, where photonic architectures may enable highly parallel computation through the physical properties\nof light. In addition to significantly reducing energy consumption, optical computing offers the potential for substantially higher bandwidth\nand faster signal propagation than traditional electronic systems. The Company is focused on addressing several longstanding challenges\nassociated with optical computing, including analog precision, nonlinear computation, and memory integration, through internally developed\nintellectual property and strategic collaborations.\n\n \n\nOn March 18, 2026, the Company also\nannounced that it has assembled an accomplished team of experts in artificial intelligence, photonics, and advanced computing to support\nthe Initiative, including Director Chelsea Voss and Strategic Advisors Martin Shkreli and James Altucher. The Company believes this combination\nof technical and strategic expertise positions the Company to pursue a differentiated approach to optical AI computing. The Company further\nstated that it intends to develop proprietary optical chip architectures designed to address key bottlenecks in bandwidth, energy efficiency,\nand scalability for AI inference applications, while building a portfolio of foundational intellectual property through patent filings.\n\n \n\nOn June 30, 2026, the Company announced\nthe relocation of its headquarters to San Francisco, California, where it is establishing a 4,800-square-foot integrated photonics laboratory\nto accelerate research and development of its proprietary optical processing unit. The relocation also positions the Company in close\nproximity to leading engineering talent and technology companies specializing in photonics, artificial intelligence, and advanced computing.\nIn connection with the Initiative, the Company also announced the hiring of specialized engineers with experience at companies including\nIPG Photonics, Neurophos, and IonQ.\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n** **\n\n**SIGNATURES**\n\n \n\nPursuant\nto the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by\nthe undersigned hereunto duly authorized.\n\n \n\n \nQ/C\nTECHNOLOGIES, INC.\n\n \n \n \n\nDate:\nJuly 2, 2026\nBy:\n*/s/\nJoshua Silverman*\n\n \nName:\nJoshua\nSilverman\n\n \nTitle:\nExecutive\nChairman"}
