MacroGenics CEO departure date extended amid search for successor

ROCKVILLE, MD - MacroGenics Inc. (NASDAQ:MGNX), a biopharmaceutical company with a market capitalization of $156 million, announced an amendment to the separation agreement of its President and CEO, Dr. Scott Koenig, according to an SEC filing on Tuesday. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong liquidity position with more cash than debt on its balance sheet. The amendment extends the timeline for Dr. Koenig’s departure and the search for his successor.

The initial separation agreement, dated October 25, 2024, set Dr. Koenig’s separation date as February 28, 2025. However, the amendment, agreed upon on Monday, allows the Board of Directors more time to find a new CEO. Dr. Koenig’s separation date is now indeterminate and subject to a fourteen-day notice by the Board. This leadership transition comes as the company’s stock has experienced significant volatility, with shares down nearly 85% over the past year and currently trading near their 52-week low of $2.34. InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently undervalued based on its Fair Value metrics.

Additionally, the amendment extends Dr. Koenig’s advisory services from the original end date of February 28, 2030, to the fifth anniversary of his eventual separation date. Dr. Koenig is also slated to receive a prorated target annual bonus for 2025, which will be paid out in the first payroll after his separation.

The Board expects to conclude the executive search process in the coming weeks. This development highlights the Board’s commitment to a thorough search for the right leadership to guide MacroGenics forward.

The full details of the amendment will be disclosed in MacroGenics’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. This report will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Investors should note that MacroGenics is scheduled to report its next earnings on March 4, 2025.

The information reported is based on the company’s recent SEC filing, reflecting the ongoing changes within MacroGenics’ executive team.
