Following a strategic review and assessment of the Company’s operations, cost structure and growth opportunities, on August 8, 2022, the Company announced a plan of restructuring and strategic re-alignment, which includes the elimination of approximately 130 positions across the Company and other cost-saving measures (the Restructuring). The Company expects to substantially complete the workforce reduction by the end of the third quarter of 2022. The Company expects to record a charge in the range of $7 million to $10 million in the third quarter of 2022 as a result of the workforce reduction, consisting of one-time termination benefits for employee severance, benefits and related costs, all of which are expected to result in cash expenditures and substantially all of which will be paid out over the next five months. The Company may also implement other cost savings measures as part of the Restructuring and may incur termination and other costs in connection with such measures, which could be material. As part of the Restructuring, the Company is also reviewing its alternatives with respect to additional facility space that it currently leases in Bedford, Massachusetts (see Note 10). These alternatives may include the termination of the lease or the sub-lease of all or a portion of the leased facility. The Company is currently unable to estimate facility-related charges, which could be material.

On August 7, 2022, E. Kevin Hrusovsky, Executive Chairman of Quanterix (the Company), entered into a separation agreement and release with the Company, effective as of August 8, 2022, pursuant to which his employment as Executive Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the Board) has ended and he has resigned as a Director on the Board, both effective August 8, 2022. In connection with his resignation, Mr. Hrusovsky will receive severance benefits consistent with the provisions of his employment agreement with the Company, dated as of April 25, 2022. The Company’s current Lead Independent Director, Martin D. Madaus, Ph.D., has been elected to succeed Mr. Hrusovsky as Chairman of the Board, effective as of August 8, 2022.
