Akoya Biosciences, Inc. disclosed on May 21, 2025, that it received an unsolicited all-cash acquisition proposal at $1.40 per share from a third party on May 20, 2025. This proposal offers an alternative to the previously announced merger agreement with Quanterix Corporation.
The unsolicited offer introduces a competitive element to Akoya's strategic alternatives. Such a proposal could lead to a revised offer from Quanterix or a new transaction with the third party, potentially increasing the value for Akoya shareholders.
This development is significant as it provides Akoya shareholders with a clear cash alternative and puts pressure on the existing merger terms. The company's board will need to evaluate this new proposal in the context of its fiduciary duties to shareholders.
