On August 27, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), Pasqal Holding SA, a société anonyme organized under the laws of the Republic of France and formerly named Bleichroeder Acquisition France Merger Sub 2 (the “Company” or “New Pasqal”), consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 28, 2026 (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Bleichroeder”), Bleichroeder Acquisition France Merger Sub 2, a French société anonyme (“Merger Sub”), and Pasqal Holding SAS, a French société par actions simplifiée (“Legacy Pasqal”), which provided for, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Business Combination Agreement, (i) the merger of Bleichroeder with and into Merger Sub (the “Reincorporation Merger”), with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company (the “Bleichroeder Surviving Corporation”); (ii) the merger of Legacy Pasqal with and into the Bleichroeder Surviving Corporation by way of a merger by absorption (fusion-absorption) in accordance with Articles L. 236-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code, with the Bleichroeder Surviving Corporation continuing as the surviving company and changing its name to “Pasqal Holding SA” (the “Merger” and, together with the Reincorporation Merger, the “Mergers”); and (iii) the listing of the Ordinary Shares and the Warrants for trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Shell Company Report on Form 20-F (the “Report”) have the respective meanings given to those terms in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, as supplemented (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), forming part of the Registration Statement on Form F-4 of the Company, as amended (File No. 333-296239) (the “Registration Statement”).
On the Closing Date, at the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger, (i) each then issued and outstanding Bleichroeder Class A Ordinary Share (excluding Treasury Shares and Redeeming Shares) and each then issued and outstanding Bleichroeder Class B Ordinary Share was cancelled and automatically converted into one ordinary share of the Bleichroeder Surviving Corporation (each an “Ordinary Share” and, collectively, the “Ordinary Shares”), and (ii) each then issued and outstanding whole warrant to purchase Bleichroeder Class A Ordinary Shares was converted into one warrant to purchase one Ordinary Share on the same terms and conditions existing prior to such conversion (the “Warrants”). At the effective time of the Merger, Legacy Pasqal was dissolved without liquidation (dissolution sans liquidation), together with the completion of a universal transfer of assets and liabilities (transmission universelle de patrimoine) pursuant to which New Pasqal succeeded to all of the rights and obligations of Legacy Pasqal, and, among other things: (a) each then issued and outstanding “Class Seed” ordinary share, common ordinary share, “Class A” ordinary share, “Class B” ordinary share and “Class C” ordinary share of Legacy Pasqal, in each case with a par value of €0.10 per share, was exchanged for Ordinary Shares using an exchange ratio of 22.736 (the “Exchange Ratio”), resulting in the issuance of 200,000,000 Ordinary Shares to the former shareholders of Legacy Pasqal; and (b) each then issued and outstanding equity warrant governed by French law (bons de souscription de parts de créateur d’entreprise) of Legacy Pasqal (the “Rollover BSPCEs”) was assumed by the Company and grants the right to subscribe for Ordinary Shares, with the number of shares adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio, on the same terms and conditions (including vesting, exercise period and expiration date) as were applicable immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger.
The Exchange Ratio was derived from the valeur réelle of Legacy Pasqal as a going concern, determined on the basis of a multi-criteria valuation negotiated at arm’s length, and was verified by an independent merger appraiser (commissaire à la fusion) appointed by court order, who reported on the value of the contributions and on the fairness of the exchange ratio.
In connection with the Business Combination, holders of 26,039,602 Bleichroeder Class A Ordinary Shares validly exercised their redemption rights, resulting in aggregate redemption payments of approximately $266,024,836 from the trust account established in connection with Bleichroeder’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). After giving effect to such redemptions, approximately $27,689,870 remained in the Trust Account and was released at the Closing. Substantially concurrently with the Closing, the Company consummated the March 2026 Financing, pursuant to which the Company issued $312.5 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Unsecured Convertible Bonds, initially convertible into 26,041,667 Ordinary Shares at an initial conversion price of $12.00 per Ordinary Share, together with 32,552,083 Investment Warrants exercisable at $12.00 per Ordinary Share, for an aggregate subscription price of $250.0 million, reflecting a 20% original issue discount in a private placement.
The Ordinary Shares and the New Pasqal public warrants are traded on Nasdaq under the symbols “PSQL” and “PSQLW,” respectively.
Except as otherwise indicated or required by context, references in this Report to “the Company,” “we”, “us”, or “our” refer to Pasqal Holding SA, a French société anonyme, together with its consolidated subsidiaries following the consummation of the Business Combination.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements contained in this Report and the documents incorporated by reference herein may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of U.S. federal securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our capital resources, performance and results of operations. Likewise, all of our statements regarding anticipated growth in operations, anticipated market conditions, demographics and results of operations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of terminology such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “expected,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “anticipated,” “projected,” “future” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words or phrases.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Report and the documents incorporated by reference herein reflect our current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. In particular, this Report contains forward-looking statements pertaining to our strategy, future operations, financial position, projected costs, prospects and plans. We do not guarantee that the events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
| ● | general economic uncertainty; |
| ● | our limited operating history, concentrated customer base and early-stage commercial model, which make it difficult to forecast our future results of operations and funding requirements; |
| ● | the possibility that quantum computing may never become commercially viable or widely adopted, and that our technology roadmap and the anticipated milestones and timing thereof may change; |
| ● | our need for a significant amount of additional capital to pursue our business objectives, risks relating to our outstanding indebtedness and the risk that additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all, which could require us to delay, limit or substantially reduce our development efforts; |
| ● | the risk that our technical roadmap and plans for commercialization involve technology that is still under development and may not become available on the expected timeline or achieve the intended performance level; |
| ● | our ability to scale and adapt our business and existing technology, including our manufacturing capacity, in a timely or cost-effective manner to meet customer and market demand; |
| ● | the effects of competition on our future business; |
| ● | competition in the quantum computing industry on a global scale, including the risk that competitors achieve technological breakthroughs that render our systems obsolete or inferior, and competitive pressures on our pricing; |
| ● | our dependence on relationships with third-party providers, including cloud providers and suppliers of specialized components such as laser systems, and the risk that any disruption of or interference with our use of such providers would adversely affect our business; |
| ● | our reliance on future collaborative partners and our ability to establish and maintain suitable strategic partnerships; |
iii
| ● | our dependence on our ability to attract and retain senior executive leadership and other key employees, including quantum physicists, software engineers and other key technical personnel; |
| ● | our ability to penetrate multiple markets, and the additional regulatory burdens and political, social and geographical risks associated with our international operations and investment commitments in France, the United States, Canada, Saudi Arabia and South Korea; |
| ● | restrictions or delays in changes of control or significant investments in us due to French State influence and French foreign investment regulations, and limitations on shareholder liquidity and transferability of our securities arising therefrom; |
| ● | delays or limitations in our strategic decision-making due to our governance structure and restrictions under French law, including the strategic committee established at the level of Pasqal SAS and the business allocation agreement; |
| ● | our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for our technology and the risk that the scope of patent protection obtained is not sufficiently broad or robust, including risks arising from license and co-ownership arrangements originating in academic research and from our use of open-source software; |
| ● | cybersecurity, physical hardware and human-related security risks that could result in significant operational disruption, financial loss, legal liability or reputational harm; |
| ● | our dependence on contracts with French and other governmental entities and the European Commission, which are subject to public procurement processes, budgetary constraints and changes in government priorities, and the risk that government grants may be reduced, cancelled or required to be repaid; |
| ● | risks arising from litigation, investigations and regulatory proceedings, including product liability claims and environmental and safety regulation; |
| ● | our status as a foreign private issuer, which exempts us from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies and the additional costs we would incur if that status were lost, and the difficulties investors may face in protecting their interests because we are organized under the laws of France, including limitations on the ability to enforce rights through the U.S. federal courts; |
| ● | potential litigation, governmental or regulatory proceedings, investigations or inquiries involving us, including in relation to the Business Combination; |
| ● | international, national or local economic, social, political or legal conditions that could adversely affect us and our business; |
| ● | the effectiveness of our internal controls and our corporate policies and procedures; |
| ● | the impact of and changes in governmental regulations or the enforcement thereof, tax laws and rates, including French tax legislation, limitations on the deductibility of interest and on the use of our tax loss carry-forwards, accounting guidance and similar matters in regions in which we operate or will operate in the future; |
| ● | the volatility of the market price and liquidity of the Ordinary Shares and the Warrants and our ability to maintain the listing of our Ordinary Shares and Warrants on Nasdaq and operate as a public company; |
| ● | risks relating to any unforeseen liabilities of the Company; |
iv
| ● | restrictions and oversight arising from our governance arrangements with Bpifrance Investissement SAS (“Bpifrance”) and under French law, including the strategic committee of Pasqal SAS and the business allocation agreement; |
| ● | failure to obtain lender consent, industry partner and other third-party consents and approvals, when required; |
| ● | changes in our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects and plans; |
| ● | our expectations with respect to market opportunity and market growth; |
| ● | the expected benefits of and ability to maintain and enter into new contracts, awards and other relationships, partnerships or collaborations with other businesses, governments and government entities; |
| ● | the potential for our quantum computing technology to achieve quantum advantage; |
| ● | expectations regarding the time during which we will be an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act; |
| ● | expansion plans and opportunities, including risks related to the rollout of the Company’s business and expansion strategy; and |
| ● | the need to obtain required approvals from regulatory authorities, including under French foreign investment control and applicable export control regimes. |
The forward-looking statements contained herein may prove incorrect. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by the forward-looking statements. For a further discussion of the risks and other factors that could cause our future results, performance or transactions to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which section is incorporated herein by reference and our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (www.sec.gov). There may be additional risks that we do not presently know or that we currently believe are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of estimates and assumptions that we believe are reasonable when made including, but not limited to, the perceived benefits of the Business Combination; the effects of the Business Combination on Legacy Pasqal; assumptions that none of the risks identified in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus materialize; that there are no unforeseen changes to economic and market conditions, and no significant events occur outside the ordinary course of business. Such estimates and assumptions are made in light of the experience of management and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors believed to be appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances. However, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions made in making these forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Report and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, these forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as guarantees of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and management cannot predict all risks and uncertainties. Except as required by applicable law, we do not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

D. Risk Factors
The risk factors related to the business and operations of the Company are described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus under the section entitled “Risk Factors”, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The following risk factors will replace the risk factors in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “Foreign investment regulations may restrict or delay future changes in control or significant acquisitions of Pasqal” and “Pasqal may face limitations on shareholder liquidity and transferability of its securities due to French State interests and regulatory requirements”.
Foreign investment regulations may restrict or delay future changes in control or significant acquisitions of Pasqal.
Pasqal operates under a group structure that is subject to French foreign investment regulations, particularly in sectors deemed sensitive such as quantum technology and defense. Under French law, the direct or indirect acquisition of a significant interest in Pasqal by non-EU persons or entities (or by multiple non-EU acquirers acting in concert) is subject to prior authorization by the French Ministry of the Economy. These regulations are intended to protect French national interests and may apply to any future takeover, significant acquisition of its shares, or change of control involving Pasqal, provided the acquirers are non-EU entities.
Accordingly, any attempt by a non-EU investor (or by multiple non-EU acquirers acting in concert) to acquire a controlling stake or to cross the threshold of 10% or more of the voting rights may be delayed, restricted, or even prohibited by the French authorities. If a non-EU investor acquires 10% or more of Pasqal’s voting rights, without the prior authorization of the French Ministry of the Economy, such acquisition may be considered null and void under French law or such investor may lose its voting rights and/or rights to any dividends and be subject to fines or other criminal and civil liabilities. These restrictions may limit the ability of shareholders to freely transfer their shares or to effect a change of control, and may adversely affect the market value and liquidity of Pasqal’s securities.
Depending on where it operates, Pasqal may, in the future, also be subject to foreign investment regulations in other countries, with comparable consequences.
Pasqal may face limitations on shareholder liquidity and transferability of its securities due to French State interests and regulatory requirements.
Following the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2019/452 of 19 March 2019, the scope of French foreign investment screening has been expanded to cover additional economic sectors. Prior authorization from the French Minister of Economy is required for investments in companies that (i) participate in the exercise of public authority, even occasionally, (ii) may affect public order, public security or national defense interests, or (iii) are engaged in the research, production or trade of arms, ammunition, explosives or related materials.
Due to the presence of French State interests and the application of French foreign investment regulations, shareholders in Pasqal may face significant restrictions on the transfer of their shares or on the ability to effect a change of control. In particular, under the French foreign investment control regime, the direct or indirect acquisition by a non-EU acquirer (or by multiple non-EU acquirers acting in concert) of 10% or more of the voting rights of Pasqal, requires the prior authorization of the French Ministry of the Economy. This approval process may be lengthy, subject to conditions, or even denied, depending on the nature of the acquirer and the strategic importance of Pasqal’s business activities. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Litigation and Government Regulation — Foreign investment regulations may restrict or delay future changes in control or significant acquisitions of Pasqal.”
These restrictions may result in delays or prevent certain transactions from being completed, and may be outside the control of Pasqal or its shareholders. As a result, the liquidity and market value of Pasqal’s securities may be adversely affected, and shareholders may be unable to realize the full value of their investment or to exit their position in a timely manner. Furthermore, these regulatory requirements may limit Pasqal’s ability to attract new investors, pursue certain strategic transactions, or respond flexibly to changes in its shareholder base.
Depending on where its activities will develop, Pasqal may, in the future, also be subject to foreign investment regulations in other countries, with comparable consequences.

We are subject to certain of the informational filing requirements of the Exchange Act. Since we are a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, we are exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to their purchase and sale of Ordinary Shares. In addition, we are not required to file reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. public companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we are required to file with the SEC an Annual Report on Form 20-F within four months of the close of each fiscal year ended December 31 containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, and to furnish reports on Form 6-K relating to certain material events. The SEC also maintains a website at https://www.sec.gov that contains reports and other information that we file with or furnish electronically to the SEC.
The Company was incorporated as a société anonyme under the laws of the Republic of France on May 19, 2026 under the name Bleichroeder Acquisition France Merger Sub 2 and is registered with the Trade and Companies Register of Paris under number 105 098 180. In connection with the Merger, the Company changed its name to “Pasqal Holding SA.” The mailing address of our principal executive office is 24, rue Emile Baudot, 91120 Palaiseau, France. Our telephone number is +33 (0) 7 49 63 73 31. Our website is https://www.pasqal.com.

B. Business Overview
Information regarding our business is included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, under the sections entitled “Information About Legacy Pasqal” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Legacy Pasqal,” each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
On August 24, 2026, Pasqal announced a memorandum of understanding with Eleven Ventures, a Kingdom of Saudi Arabia based investment platform and venture capital firm, to establish a commercial joint venture to deploy, commercialize and scale our quantum computing systems across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the wider region. The joint venture is intended to deploy and operate our neutral-atom systems in the Kingdom, to bring our offerings to market for customers in the Kingdom and the wider region, and to develop local talent and expertise. In connection with the arrangement, HRH Abdulaziz bin Turki bin Talal Al Saud, the founder of Eleven Ventures, is expected to be appointed as Chairman of the Board of the joint venture entity, Pasqal Arabia.
The establishment of the joint venture remains subject to the approval of our board of directors and to the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements between the parties. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that definitive agreements will be entered into on the terms currently contemplated, or at all, or that the joint venture will be established or achieve the results currently anticipated.
On August 12, 2026, we entered into a research collaboration agreement with King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (“KACST”), represented by its National Center for Quantum Technologies, to advance research and development across multiple domains of quantum technology and to enhance quantum cryptography readiness in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Under the agreement, our neutral-atom quantum processing technology and cloud services will be paired with KACST’s national research infrastructure to develop, test and validate quantum-safe cryptographic solutions, with the work to be carried out at the National Center for Quantum Technologies. Quantum cryptography is the first focus area of what the parties intend to be a broader multi-year research program, and the parties have expressed a shared objective of ultimately bringing commercial offerings to the Saudi market. The agreement complements our other activities in the Kingdom, including our deployment of QPUs with Saudi Arabian Oil Company.
The research collaboration agreement does not obligate either party to enter into any commercial arrangement, and there can be no assurance that the collaboration will result in commercially viable products or offerings, that any future phases of the research program will be agreed, or that we will realize the anticipated benefits of the collaboration.

ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
A. Major Shareholders
The following table and accompanying footnotes set forth information known to us regarding the actual beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares by:
| ● | each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares; |
| ● | each of our current directors and named executive officers; and |
| ● | all of our directors and officers, as a group. |
The SEC has defined “beneficial ownership” of a security to mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of voting power and/or investment power over such security. A shareholder is also deemed to be, as of any date, the beneficial owner of all securities that such shareholder has the right to acquire within 60 days after that date through (i) the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (ii) the conversion of a security, (iii) the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, or (iv) the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, the Ordinary Shares subject to Rollover BSPCEs, options, Warrants, Investment Warrants, Senior Unsecured Convertible Bonds or other rights held by that person that are currently exercisable or convertible, or will become exercisable or convertible within 60 days thereafter, are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person. Each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all of the Ordinary Shares shown as beneficially owned by such person, except as otherwise indicated in the table or footnotes below.
The beneficial ownership of the Company is based on 212,293,691 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of September 1, 2026 after giving effect to the Business Combination and after giving effect to redemptions by Bleichroeder’s public shareholders in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. In computing the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of such person, we deemed to be outstanding all Ordinary Shares subject to the Rollover BSPCEs, options, Warrants, Investment Warrants and Senior Unsecured Convertible Bonds held by the person that are currently exercisable or convertible or exercisable or convertible within 60 days of September 1, 2026. We did not deem such shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The table excludes the potential dilutive effect of 17,333,333 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, 32,703,460 Ordinary Shares underlying the Rollover BSPCEs and assumed options, 26,041,667 Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Senior Unsecured Convertible Bonds and 32,552,083 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Investment Warrants, in each case other than as reflected in the footnotes below.
Unless otherwise indicated and subject to applicable community property laws, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by them. To our knowledge, none of the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by any executive officer or director have been pledged as security. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each shareholder named below is c/o Pasqal Holding SA, 24, rue Emile Baudot, 91120 Palaiseau, France.
