Agreement</U>&#148;).&nbsp;The Merger Agreement provides for a business combination whereby Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into BioLucent (the &#147;<U>First Merger</U>&#148;), followed immediately by the merger of BioLucent with and into Merger
Sub 2 (the &#147;<U>Second Merger</U>&#148; and together with the First Merger, the &#147;<U>Merger</U>&#148;). As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of each of Merger Sub 1 and BioLucent will cease and Merger Sub 2 will
continue as the surviving entity in the Merger, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hologic. In connection with the Merger, BioLucent will spin-off its brachytherapy business to the holders of BioLucent&#146;s outstanding shares of capital stock (the
&#147;<U>Spin-Off Transaction</U>&#148;), as a result, pursuant to the Merger, Hologic will acquire BioLucent&#146;s MammoPad<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000"><SUP>&reg;<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"

effective time of the Merger, each share of BioLucent capital stock (other than treasury shares owned by BioLucent) will be converted into the right to receive a portion of the aggregate merger consideration payable by Hologic pursuant to the

its sole discretion, provided that if paid through a combination of cash and stock, no less than 66% of such amount will be paid in Merger Shares, (ii)&nbsp;$5 million to be paid in cash by Hologic, and (iii)&nbsp;and up to two annual deferred cash
payments not to exceed $15 million in the aggregate based upon BioLucent achieving certain revenue targets (each a &#147;<U>Deferred Payment</U>&#148; and collectively the &#147;<U>Deferred Payments</U>&#148;). Any Merger Shares issued as part of
the aggregate merger consideration will be valued at the 5-day trading average of the closing price per share of Hologic common stock for the five consecutive trading days ending two trading days prior to the Closing Date. </FONT></P> <P

the Merger, (ii)&nbsp;to submit the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby to BioLucent&#146;s stockholders for approval and adoption as promptly as practicable, (iii)&nbsp;that, subject to certain exceptions, its board of
directors will recommend adoption by its stockholders of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, (iv)&nbsp;subject to certain exceptions, not to solicit proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions or participate in discussions
or negotiations regarding an alternative business combination transaction, and (v)&nbsp;subject to certain exceptions, not to approve or recommend or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any alternative business combination transaction or enter

of Corporations of the fairness (the &#147;<U>Fairness Approval</U>&#148;) of the terms and conditions of the Merger and the issuance of the Merger Shares, or, if the Fairness Approval is not granted, file a Registration Statement on Form S-4 to

STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">BEDFORD, MA, (June 21, 2007) &#151; Hologic, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOLX), a leading provider of diagnostic imaging and state-of-the-art digital imaging systems directed towards
women&#146;s health, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire BioLucent, Inc. and its MammoPad breast cushion business. Concurrently with the closing of the transaction, Biolucent will spin-off its brachytherapy business
into a newly created company, which will remain an independent company. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The purchase price for the transaction will be $70 million (subject to reduction
in certain circumstances), plus a two-year earn out. The closing consideration will consist of $5 million in cash and an additional $65 million payable, at the election of Hologic, in cash, shares of Hologic Common Stock or a combination thereof.
The earn-out, if earned, will be payable in two annual cash installments not to exceed $15 million in the aggregate based upon BioLucent achieving certain revenue targets. This transaction is expected to close by the end of the third calendar
quarter, after completion of a California fairness hearing, and will be subject to customary closing conditions, including BioLucent stockholder approval. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">BioLucent, Inc., is a privately held medical device company located in Aliso Viejo, California. The company has designed, manufactures and markets the MammoPad breast cushion, a radiolucent foam cushion that covers the cold, hard surfaces
of all commercially available mammography equipment. BioLucent&#146;s patented MammoPad is designed to reduce the discomfort that inhibits many women from getting regular mammography screenings. MammoPad is offered as standard of care in nearly 20%
of mammography facilities nationwide and has been used by more than 10&nbsp;million women. The Company achieved revenues of approximately $17 million in calendar 2006, a 42% increase over its prior year. </FONT></P> <P

&#147;The acquisition of this technology is consistent with the company&#146;s strategy of looking to the future and building upon our established technology roadmap. We believe this acquisition provides us additional technical capabilities and
customer relationships to further solidify our position of strength in the growing mammography market.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>About Hologic </B></FONT></P> <P

SIZE="2">This News Release contains forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding Hologic&#146;s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Such statements include, without limitation,
statements regarding the timing of completion of the acquisition and the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those anticipated. Risks and uncertainties that may affect Hologic&#146;s ability to consummate the acquisition of BioLucent or that may cause actual contributions of an acquisition to vary materially from Hologic&#146;s
expectations, include, among others: the shareholders of BioLucent may not approve the acquisition; the parties may be unable to obtain California clearances required for the acquisition, or required clearances may delay the acquisition or result in
the imposition of conditions that could have a material adverse effect on the combined companies or cause the parties to abandon the acquisition; Hologic may be unable to complete the acquisition or completing the acquisition may be more costly than
expected because, among other reasons, conditions to the closing of the acquisition may not be satisfied; problems may arise with the ability of Hologic to successfully integrate the businesses of BioLucent, which may result in the combined company
not operating as effectively and efficiently as expected; Hologic may not be able to achieve the expected synergies from the acquisition or it may take longer than expected to achieve those synergies; the acquisition may involve unexpected costs or
unexpected liabilities, or the effects of purchase accounting may be different from Hologic&#146;s expectations; and the combined company may be adversely affected by future legislative, regulatory, or tax changes as well as other economic, business
and/or competitive factors. Other factors that could adversely affect Hologic&#146;s business and prospects are described in Hologic&#146;s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Hologic expressly disclaims any obligation or
undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any such statements to reflect any change in Hologic&#146;s expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. </FONT></P>
