Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(b) On March 24, 2025, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Quanterix Corporation (the “Company”) appointed William P. Donnelly to serve as Chairman of the Board, effective immediately. Mr. Donnelly succeeds Martin D. Madaus, Ph.D. as Chairman of the Board.
On March 27, 2025, Dr. Madaus notified the Board of his intention to resign from the Board and each committee of the Board on which he serves no later than the date of the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”). Dr. Madaus’s decision to resign follows his receipt of less than a majority of the votes cast in support of his reelection at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”). On the day after the 2024 Annual Meeting, the Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board initiated a process to review the 2024 Annual Meeting results, to solicit feedback from stockholders regarding potential reasons for Dr. Madaus’s voting results and to determine appropriate next steps. Over the course of numerous meetings in the summer and fall of 2024, the Committee and the full Board considered such feedback and potential responsive actions, including the possibility of Dr. Madaus resigning from the Board. In late 2024, in light of the then-potential strategic transaction with Akoya Biosciences, Inc. (“Akoya”), Dr. Madaus and the Board deferred any such action until closer to the conclusion of discussions with Akoya and/or the 2025 Annual Meeting. Dr. Madaus’s resignation is not because of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices. The Company thanks Dr. Madaus for his leadership and dedication over many years of service to the Company.
