Redwood AI Corp. (CSE: AIRX) (OTCQB: RDWCF) (Frankfurt: Y0N, WKN: A422EZ) has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement to acquire Vancouver-based Quantum.IQ Technologies Inc., a move that expands its technology platform into quantum-resistant cybersecurity, cryptographic intelligence and enterprise security infrastructure modernization. The acquisition is expected to broaden Redwood’s exposure beyond AI and operational intelligence into post-quantum cybersecurity, enterprise resilience and critical infrastructure modernization, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
Under the agreement, Redwood will issue up to 14,033,558 common shares valued at approximately $2.98 per share, including 7,033,558 base shares and up to 7 million milestone shares tied to customer, revenue and EBITDA targets. Redwood said the combination of its AI capabilities with Quantum.IQ’s post-quantum cryptography platform is expected to strengthen its position in security-sensitive markets serving government, defense, financial services and critical infrastructure organizations.
The move comes as the threat of quantum computing looms over current encryption standards. Quantum computers, once sufficiently advanced, could break many of the cryptographic systems that protect everything from financial transactions to national security secrets. By integrating Quantum.IQ’s technology, Redwood aims to help organizations transition to quantum-resistant solutions before such threats materialize. The acquisition underscores a growing urgency among enterprises and governments to modernize security infrastructure against future quantum attacks.
Redwood AI uses advanced artificial intelligence to accelerate chemistry R&D, with the aim of assisting in drug discovery and development, and furthering defense and safety solutions. The Company combines expertise in chemistry, AI, and manufacturing to streamline drug synthesis and scale-up. Redwood AI’s platform is designed to enable faster, more efficient development of new therapies and chemistry-driven applications. The acquisition of Quantum.IQ marks a strategic pivot into cybersecurity, leveraging AI to enhance cryptographic intelligence and resilience.
For investors, the deal signals Redwood’s ambition to diversify into high-growth security markets. The milestone-based share structure aligns incentives with performance, potentially rewarding shareholders if Quantum.IQ meets specified targets.
