- Business
- Centricus Acquisition Corp. (CENHW) operates as a special purpose acquisition company focused on effecting mergers, share exchanges, asset acquisitions, share purchases, reorganizations, or similar business combinations with one or more businesses, primarily targeting growth-oriented companies in Europe and North America. Incorporated in 2020 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, the company completed a definitive business combination with Arqit Limited, a developer of quantum encryption technology, on September 3, 2021, resulting in the formation of Arqit Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: ARQQ), which lists Arqit (ARQQ and ARQW) on NASDAQ while Centricus warrants continue trading under CENHW. Prior to the merger, Centricus raised $300 million in its upsized initial public offering in February 2021; the transaction provided up to $400 million in gross proceeds to Arqit, including $70 million from a fully committed PIPE with participation from strategic investors such as Virgin Orbit, Sumitomo Corporation, and sponsor Heritage Group. The combined entity now offers Arqit’s core SKA-Platform™, a quantum-safe symmetric key agreement encryption platform available as Platform-as-a-Service (SKA-PaaS™) or sovereign private instance (SKA-PI™), compliant with NSA standards and enabling lightweight software agents for secure key generation on networked devices, clouds, or data at rest against quantum threats; it supports limitless keys, zero-trust networks, and operates without disruptive hardware changes across global operations. Arqit Quantum Inc., the post-merger entity, holds a portfolio of granted patents, ISO 27001 certification, and recent recognitions including the 2023 Institution of Engineering and Technology award for innovation; no further major acquisitions, funding rounds, or strategic shifts for Centricus standalone activities have occurred since the 2021 merger.
