Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On July 7, 2025, Akoya Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) held a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). Of the 49,954,210 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding at the close of business June 5, 2025, the record date for the Special Meeting, 42,421,181 shares were represented in person or by proxy, representing approximately 85% of the outstanding shares as of the record date, constituting a quorum for all matters to be presented at the Special Meeting.
Two proposals were submitted to our stockholders for a vote at the Special Meeting. The proposals are described in detail in the definitive proxy statement for the Special Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 16, 2025. Below is a brief description of, and the final results of the votes for, each proposal:
Proposal 1: Our stockholders approved the proposal to adopt the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 28, 2025, by and among Quanterix Corporation, Wellfleet Merger Sub, Inc. and Akoya Biosciences, Inc. (the “Akoya Merger Proposal”).
| Votes For | Votes Against | Abstentions | Broker Non-Votes | |||
| 42,261,529 | 97,486 | 62,166 | - |
Proposal 2: Our stockholders approved the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting from time to time, if necessary or appropriate, including to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Akoya Merger Proposal if there are insufficient votes at the time of such adjournment to approve the Akoya Merger Proposal.
| Votes For | Votes Against | Abstentions | Broker Non-Votes | |||
| 41,986,179 | 340,995 | 94,007 | - |
However, because the Akoya Merger Proposal was approved, the adjournment of the Special Meeting was not necessary to continue to solicit additional proxies and, accordingly, the Special Meeting was not adjourned.
