<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Marlborough, Mass., January&nbsp;29, 2018 &#150; Hologic, Inc. (Nasdaq: HOLX) announced today that holders of the 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2042
(CUSIP No.&nbsp;436440 AC5) issued March&nbsp;5, 2012 have the right to surrender their notes for repurchase by the Company. This right is pursuant to the put option under the base indenture governing the notes dated December&nbsp;10, 2007, as
supplemented by the third supplemental indenture dated March&nbsp;5, 2012 (collectively, the indenture). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The put option entitles each holder of the notes
to require the Company to repurchase in cash all or part (in principal amounts equal to $1,000 or multiples thereof) of the notes on March&nbsp;1, 2018 (the put option repurchase date) at a price equal to 100% of the accreted principal amount of the
notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the indenture and the notes. Unless the Company defaults on the payment, interest on the notes surrendered for repurchase will cease to accrue
on and after March&nbsp;1, 2018. As of the date of this notice, $206,017,000 aggregate original principal amount of notes is outstanding. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The opportunity
to exercise the put option commences on January&nbsp;31, 2018 at 9 a.m. Eastern Time (ET), and expires at 5 p.m. ET on February&nbsp;28, 2018 (the expiration date), which is the business day immediately preceding the put option repurchase date.
Holders may withdraw any notes previously surrendered for repurchase at any time prior to 5 p.m. ET on the expiration date. To exercise the put option, or withdraw notes previously surrendered, a holder must follow the procedures set forth in the
put right notice that is being delivered to all registered holders of the notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">None of the Company, its board of directors or employees has made, or is
making, any representation or recommendation to any holder of the notes as to whether to exercise the put option. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Notice of Redemption </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the Company announced today that it has issued a notice of redemption to the holders of the notes to redeem any notes outstanding on March&nbsp;6,
2018 (the redemption date) pursuant to its option under Section&nbsp;11.01 of the supplemental indenture and Article 11 of the base indenture. As a result, notes that are not surrendered to the Company for repurchase as described above, or that are
not surrendered for conversion prior to 5 p.m. ET on March&nbsp;5, 2018, will be redeemed by the Company on the redemption date at a price equal to 100% of the accreted principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
including contingent interest, to but not including, the redemption date. This redemption will be upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the indenture and the notes. Unless the Company defaults on the payment of the redemption
price, interest on such notes will cease to accrue, and principal on such notes will cease to accrete, on and after the redemption date, and the only remaining right of the holders of the notes will be to receive payment of the redemption price.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Conversion Right and Net Share Settlement Election </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the terms of the indenture, holders of the notes have a right to convert them at any time prior to 5 p.m. ET on March&nbsp;5, 2018, which is the
business day immediately preceding the redemption date, subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments set forth in the indenture and the notes. The current conversion rate for the notes is 32.07698 shares of the Company&#146;s common stock per
$1,000 original principal amount outstanding, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $31.81 per share. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company also announced
today that it has irrevocably elected to settle any conversion of the notes entirely in cash pursuant to Section&nbsp;12.02(a)(ii) of the supplemental indenture. This irrevocable election applies only to the 2042 notes. </P>
