Quanterix Corp 8-K

What Happened
Quanterix Corporation filed an 8-K on June 10, 2026 reporting results of its June 9, 2026 Annual Meeting. Stockholders elected two independent directors (William P. Donnelly and Ivana Magovčević-Liebisch, Ph.D., J.D.), approved the advisory vote on executive compensation, and ratified KPMG LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Stockholders did not approve the proposed amendment and restatement of the 2017 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan to implement certain equity-compensation practices and extend the plan term through June 9, 2031.

Key Details

• Proposal 1 — Election of Directors:
  • William P. Donnelly: For 30,927,792; Withheld 2,757,653; Abstain 11,634; Broker non-votes 5,180,238.

• Proposal 3 — Ratification of KPMG LLP as auditor: For 38,728,204; Against 137,595; Abstain 11,518.
• Proposal 4 — Amendment to 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (failed): For 9,677,232; Against 24,004,124; Abstain 15,723; Broker non-votes 5,180,238.

Why It Matters

• Board and governance: The re-election of two independent directors maintains the board’s composition as voted by shareholders.
• Executive pay: The advisory "say-on-pay" passed, signaling shareholder support for the disclosed compensation practices (note: advisory votes are non-binding).
• Audit continuity: Ratifying KPMG secures the company’s independent auditor for fiscal 2026, which matters for financial reporting and audit continuity.
• Equity program impact: The rejection of the 2017 Plan amendment means Quanterix cannot implement the proposed changes or extend the plan term as described in the proxy; this may affect how the company grants equity incentives going forward until an alternative is approved.
