Quanterix is now poised to provide $30 million in bridge financing to Akoya before shareholders have even had the opportunity to vote on the Transaction. What\u2019s worse is the fact that Akoya can draw on these notes until July 9, 2025, even if the Transaction is lawfully terminated before that date.<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>As a result, Quanterix is now shoring up Akoya, which faces a near-term liquidity crisis, with $30 million of shareholders\u2019 money. This sort of backdoor financing is highly unfavorable to Quanterix shareholders, who will now be left holding Akoya\u2019s high-risk subordinated distressed debt. We believe the Board has further violated its fiduciary duties by not providing comprehensive disclosures on the bridge financing. Furthermore, Quanterix shareholders have not been provided with any disclosure around the commercial reasonableness of the bridge financing terms \u2013 for which apparently no fairness opinion was issued.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>More broadly, we call on Quanterix to provide further disclosure about how Akoya\u2019s desperate need for a bridge loan factored into the Board\u2019s valuation of Akoya and, if Akoya truly needs such a loan, whether that calls into question the forecasts used by Quanterix to justify the Transaction.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>This latest development is yet another unfortunate illustration of how the Transaction is not in the best interests of Quanterix shareholders and why they should vote <b><span class=\"bwuline\">AGAINST<\/span><\/b> both proposals related to its approval.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>About Kent Lake<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nKent Lake Partners LP is an investment fund founded by Ben Natter in 2019 with a focus on small and mid-capitalization public equities, particularly in the healthcare space.
