resignation as an executive officer of Hologic, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;). Prior to his resignation, Mr.&nbsp;Hastie served as Division President, Diagnostics. Mr.&nbsp;Hastie will remain with the Company until November&nbsp;28, 2014, the

In connection with Mr.&nbsp;Hastie&#146;s resignation, Mr.&nbsp;Hastie and the Company entered into a Separation Agreement and General Release of All Claims (the &#147;Separation Agreement&#148;), dated September 2, 2014. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A summary of the material terms and conditions of the Separation Agreement is set forth below. The below description of the Separation Agreement does not
purport to be complete and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Separation Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mr.&nbsp;Hastie&#146;s agreement to resign was at the request of the Company, and therefore constituted a termination without cause under his Severance
Agreement with the Company, dated September&nbsp;19, 2013 (the &#147;Severance Agreement&#148;). The Separation Agreement provides that Mr.&nbsp;Hastie will remain with the Company through November&nbsp;28, 2014 (the &#147;Resignation Date&#148;) to
assist with the transition to his successor. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the terms of the Separation Agreement and until the Resignation Date, (i)&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Hastie will
continue to receive his base salary of $425,000 per year, (ii)&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Hastie will continue to participate in the Company&#146;s Short-Term Incentive Plan for the 2014 fiscal year subject to and in accordance with its terms,
(iii)&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Hastie&#146;s outstanding equity awards will remain outstanding and continue to vest subject to and in accordance with their respective terms, and (iv)&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Hastie will be entitled to continue to participate in any and
all retirement, medical, dental, life insurance and other employee benefit plans in which he participated as of the date of the Separation Agreement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following the Resignation Date and subject to Mr.&nbsp;Hastie executing a general release of all claims, Mr.&nbsp;Hastie will be entitled to receive severance
benefits, which correspond to the severance benefits he otherwise would have been entitled to receive under the Severance Agreement, equal to $531,250 (corresponding to fifteen (15)&nbsp;month&#146;s base salary) to be paid out pro-rata over the
succeeding fifteen-month period in accordance with normal payroll practices for the Company&#146;s senior executive officers. The Separation Agreement also provides that Mr.&nbsp;Hastie&#146;s non-disclosure and developments agreement will remain in
effect. The Separation Agreement supersedes and replaces in its entirety the Severance Agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Item&nbsp;9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
