Azenta, Inc.. (9/4/24). "Press Release: Azenta Announces Appointment of John P. Marotta as CEO. Succeeds Dr. Stephen Schwartz Following 14-Year Tenure". Burlington, MA.

Azenta, Inc. (Nasdaq: AZTA) ("Azenta" or "the Company"), today announced that John P. Marotta will join the Company as President and CEO effective September 9, 2024, succeeding Dr. Stephen Schwartz, who is retiring following a distinguished tenure. Dr. Schwartz will remain as an advisor to Azenta to ensure a smooth and successful transition.

Mr. Marotta has two decades of experience leading global companies in life sciences, medical devices, and diagnostics, and is joining Azenta from Patient Square Capital, a leading healthcare investment firm, where he serves as Executive in Residence. Previously, he served as CEO and President of PHC Holdings Corporation (formerly Panasonic Health Care), a diversified global life sciences, diagnostics, and medical device company focused on precision healthcare, growing global revenues and leading its IPO from owners KKR & Co. He also held a variety of senior executive roles in leading life sciences companies, including at Danaher Corporation, Envista Holdings Corporation, and Cardinal Health, Inc., where he demonstrated consistent achievement in organic revenue growth, operational efficiencies, and significant value-creating transactions. Mr. Marotta began his career in sales leadership roles for therapeutics and medical device offerings.

Frank E. Casal, Chairman of the Azenta Board said, "Following a rigorous search process, aided by a leading executive search firm, the Board and I are thrilled to welcome John as our next President and CEO. We are confident he is the ideal person to lead Azenta into our next chapter. John brings extensive experience leading complex high-growth life sciences businesses around the globe. We look forward to working with him to amplify Azenta's momentum and deliver sustainable value for shareholders."

Mr. Marotta said, "I am excited to join Azenta and get to know its talented teams worldwide. I have been impressed by Azenta's evolution and am confident that, together, we will expand on its strong foundation to further enhance its offerings while driving growth and profitability. I look forward to hitting the ground running and executing on our tremendous opportunities ahead."

Mr. Casal continued, "The Board and I extend our deepest gratitude to Steve for his leadership over the last 14 years. Steve joined as President of Brooks Automation in April 2010 and was appointed CEO in August 2010. He led the creation of Azenta as a business division of Brooks into the standalone, pure-play life-sciences leader that it is today, and oversaw the sale of the Semiconductor Solutions Group. Steve leaves a profound impression on all stakeholders, having led our team to create significant value for shareholders during his tenure and enable customers to realize impactful breakthroughs. We thank Steve and wish him all the best."

Dr. Schwartz added, "It has been a privilege to be a part of this amazing Azenta team on a journey to become an established life-sciences company that we believe uniquely enables customers around the globe in their pursuit of scientific progress. I am confident in Azenta's future success as it moves into this next chapter and I look forward to working with John through the transition."
