NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(all tabular amounts in millions, except number of shares, which are reflected in thousands, and per share data)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Hologic, Inc. (“Hologic” or the “Company”) presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2020 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 17, 2020. In the opinion of management, the financial statements and notes contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and all other necessary adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate. Operating results for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the entire fiscal year ending September 25, 2021.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The purpose of ASU 2016-13 is to replace the current incurred loss impairment methodology for financial assets measured at amortized cost with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses over the lifetime of the financial asset. As a result, credit losses are recorded when financial assets are established if credit losses are expected over the asset's contractual life. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company adopted the standard during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 8 for additional information.
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-08, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU identifies, evaluates, and improves areas of GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided. The amendments in this Update expanded the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, which did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
Subsequent Events Consideration
The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence for certain estimates or to identify matters that may require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated as required. There were no material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events affecting the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2021.

(2) Revenue
The Company accounts for revenue pursuant to ASC Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (ASC 606) and generates revenue from the sale of its products, primarily medical imaging systems and related components and software, diagnostic tests and assays and surgical disposable products, and related services, which are primarily support and maintenance services on its medical imaging systems, and to a lesser extent installation training and repairs. Prior to the Cynosure divestiture, the Company also generated revenue from the sale and service of medical aesthetic treatment systems. The Company's products are sold primarily through a direct sales force, and within international markets, there is more reliance on distributors and resellers. Revenue is recorded net of sales tax.

The Company considers revenue to be earned when all of the following criteria are met: the Company has a contract with a customer that creates enforceable rights and obligations; promised products or services are identified; the transaction price, or the amount the Company expects to receive, including an estimate of uncertain amounts subject to a constraint to ensure revenue is not recognized in an amount that would result in a significant reversal upon resolution of the uncertainty, is determinable; and the Company has transferred control of the promised items to the customer. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in the contract. The transaction price for the contract is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods and services expected to be transferred. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, control of the distinct good or service is transferred. Transfer of control for the Company's products is generally at shipment or delivery, depending on contractual terms, but occurs when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer which represents the point in time when the customer obtains the use of and substantially all of the benefits of the product. As such, the Company's performance obligation related to product sales is satisfied at a point in time. Revenue from support and maintenance contracts, extended warranty and professional services for installation, training and repairs is recognized over time based on the period contracted or as the services are performed as these methods represent a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods and services.

The Company recognizes a receivable when it has an unconditional right to payment, which represents the amount the Company expects to collect in a transaction and is most often equal to the transaction price in the contract. Payment terms are typically 30 days in the U.S. but may be longer in international markets. The Company treats shipping and handling costs performed after a customer obtains control of the good as a fulfillment cost and records these costs within costs of product revenue when the corresponding revenue is recognized.

The Company also places instruments (or equipment) at customer sites but retains title to the instrument. The customer has the right to use the instrument for a period of time, and the Company recovers the cost of providing the instrument through the sales of disposables, namely tests and assays in Diagnostics and handpieces in GYN Surgical. These types of agreements include an embedded lease, which is generally an operating lease, for the right to use an instrument and no instrument revenue is recognized at the time of instrument delivery. The Company recognizes a portion of the revenue allocated to the embedded lease concurrent with the sale of disposables over the term of the agreement.

Some of the Company's contracts have multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation using its best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The Company determines its best estimate of standalone selling price using average selling prices over three to twelve month periods of data depending on the products or nature of the services coupled with current market considerations. If the product or service does not have a history of sales or if sales volume is not sufficient, the Company relies on prices set by its pricing committees or applicable marketing department adjusted for expected discounts.

12

Variable Consideration

The Company exercises judgment in estimating variable consideration, which includes volume discounts, sales rebates, product returns and other adjustments. These amounts are recorded as a reduction to revenue and classified as a current liability. The Company bases its estimates for volume discounts and sales rebates on historical information to the extent it is reasonable to be used as a predictive tool of expected future rebates. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company applies judgment in constraining the estimated variable consideration due to factors that could cause reversal of revenue. The Company evaluates constraints based on its historical and projected experience with similar customer contracts.
    
The Company's contracts typically do not provide the right to return product. In general, estimates of variable consideration and constraints are not material to the Company's financial statements.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of June 26, 2021, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied was approximately $804.4 million. These remaining performance obligations primarily relate to extended warranty and support and maintenance obligations in the Company's Breast Health and Skeletal Health reportable segments. The Company expects to recognize approximately 11% of this amount as revenue in 2021, 36% in 2022, 25% in 2023, 16% in 2024, and 12% thereafter. The Company has applied the practical expedient to not include remaining performance obligations related to contracts with original expected durations of one year or less in the amounts above.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company discloses accounts receivable separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their net realizable value. Contract assets primarily relate to the Company's conditional right to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date. Contract assets at the beginning and end of the reporting period, as well as the changes in the balance, were immaterial.

Contract liabilities primarily relate to payments received from customers in advance of performance under the contract. The Company records a contract liability, or deferred revenue, when it has an obligation to provide service, and to a much lesser extent product, to the customer and payment is received or due in advance of performance. Deferred revenue primarily relates to support and maintenance contracts and extended warranty obligations within the Company's Breast Health and Skeletal Health reportable segments and, until December 30, 2019, the divested Medical Aesthetics segment. Contract liabilities are classified as other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognized revenue of $20.1 million and $100.9 million for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2021, respectively, that was included in the contract liability balance at September 26, 2020. The Company recognized $18.0 million and $95.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 27, 2020, respectively, that was included in the contract liability balance at September 28, 2019.

(3) Leases
Lessor Activity - Leases where Hologic is the Lessor

Certain assets, primarily diagnostics instruments, are leased to customers under contractual arrangements that typically include an operating lease and performance obligations for disposables, reagents and other consumables. These contractual arrangements are subject to termination provisions which are evaluated in determining the lease term for lease accounting purposes. Contract terms vary by customer and may include options to terminate the contract or options to extend the contract. Where instruments are provided under operating lease arrangements, some portion or the entire lease revenue may be variable and subject to subsequent non-lease component (e.g., reagent) sales. Sales-type leases are immaterial. The allocation of revenue between the lease and non-lease components is based on stand-alone selling prices. Lease revenue represented less than 5% of the Company's consolidated revenue for all periods presented.

(4) Fair Value Measurements
Assets/Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company remeasures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities upon the occurrence of certain events. Such assets are comprised of equity investments and long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill. There were no such remeasurements to equity investments in the three and nine months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020. During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company's Medical Aesthetics division met the criteria to be classified as assets-held-for sale, and the Company recorded a $30.2 million loss to record the asset group at its fair value less costs to sell. This was a level 1 measurement. See Note 6 for additional information.
Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments mainly consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, equity investments, an interest rate swap, forward foreign currency contracts, foreign currency option contracts, insurance contracts, accounts payable and debt obligations. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s interest rate swap, forward foreign currency contracts and foreign currency option contracts are recorded at fair value. The carrying amount of the insurance contracts are recorded at the cash surrender value, as required by GAAP, which approximates fair value. The Company believes the carrying amounts of its cost-method equity investments approximate fair value.
14

Amounts outstanding under the Company’s 2018 Credit Agreement (as defined below) of $1.4 billion aggregate principal as of June 26, 2021 are subject to variable interest rates of interest based on current market rates, and as such, the Company believes the carrying amount of these obligations approximates fair value. The Company’s 2028 Senior Notes and 2029 Senior Notes had fair values of $420.8 million and $940.0 million, respectively, as of June 26, 2021 based on their trading prices, representing Level 1 measurements. Refer to Note 7 for the carrying amounts of the various components of the Company’s debt.

(5) Business Combinations

Fiscal 2021 Acquisitions

Mobidiag Oy

On June 17, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Mobidiag Oy ("Mobidiag"), for a purchase price of $729.6 million. Mobidiag, located in Finland, manufactures molecular diagnostic solutions for gastrointestinal infections, antimicrobial resistance management and other infections. Mobidiag's results of operations are reported in the Company's Diagnostics reportable segment from the date of acquisition.
The total purchase price was allocated to Mobidiag's preliminary tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair values as of June 17, 2021, as set forth below.

Cash $ 6.8 
Accounts receivable 8.7 
Inventory 11.9 
Other assets 26.6 
Accounts payable and accrued expenses (18.2)
Other liabilities (7.9)
Identifiable intangible assets:
Developed technology 284.0 
In-process research and development 103.0 
Customer relationships 26.3 
Trade names 21.0 
Long-term debt (66.0)
Deferred income taxes, net (72.8)
Goodwill 406.2 
Purchase Price $ 729.6 

In performing the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, the intended future use of acquired assets, analysis of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of Mobidiag's business. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary as the Company continues to gather information supporting the acquired assets and liabilities, including but not limited to the estimation of the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets, long-term debt, and deferred income taxes.
As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company determined the identifiable intangible assets are development technology, in-process research and development ("IPR&D"), customer relationships and trade names. The preliminary fair value of the intangible assets was estimated using the income approach, and the cash flow projections were discounted using rates ranging from 14.5% to 16.0%. The cash flows were based on estimates used to price the transaction, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model and the weighted average cost of capital.
The developed technology assets are comprised of know-how, patents and technologies embedded in Mobidiag's products and relate to currently marketed products. The developed technology assets comprise the primary product families under the Novodiag and Amplidiag technology platforms.
15

IPR&D projects relate to in-process projects that have not reached technological feasibility as of the acquisition date and have no alternative future use. The primary basis for determining technological feasibility of these projects is obtaining regulatory approval to market the underlying project or expected commercial release depending on the project. The Company recorded, on a preliminary basis, $103.0 million of IPR&D related to three projects. The Company expects to complete these three projects over the next three years. Given the uncertainties inherent with product development and introduction, there can be no assurance that any of the Company's product development efforts will be successful, completed on a timely basis or within budget, if at all. All of the IPR&D assets were valued using the income approach.
The preliminary estimate of the weighted average life for the developed technology assets range from 10 to 12 years, customer relationships range from 5 to 11 years, and tradenames range from 10 to 12 years. The preliminary calculation of the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired was recorded to goodwill. Factors contributing to the recognition of the preliminary amount of goodwill were primarily based on anticipated strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the Mobidiag acquisition. These benefits include expanding the Company's molecular diagnostics portfolio into the near-patient testing market and utilizing Diagnostic's sales and regulatory expertise to drive adoption and revenue growth. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Biotheranostics

On February 22, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Biotheranostics, Inc. ("Biotheranostics"), for a purchase price of $231.3 million. Biotheranostics, located in San Diego, California, manufactures molecular diagnostic tests for breast and metastatic cancers and performs the lab testing procedures at its facility. Biotheranostics' results of operations are reported in the Company's Diagnostics reportable segment from the date of acquisition and its revenues are reported within Service and other revenue in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income and within service revenue in our disclosure of disaggregated revenue in Note 2.

The total purchase price was allocated to Biotheranostics' preliminary tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair values as of February 22, 2021, as set forth below.

Cash $ 9.6 
Accounts receivable 2.9 
Other assets 6.5 
Accounts payable and accrued expenses (8.2)
Other liabilities (8.1)
Identifiable intangible assets:
Developed technology 160.3 
Trade names 2.1 
Deferred income taxes, net (18.4)
Goodwill 84.6 
Purchase Price $ 231.3 

In performing the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, the intended future use of acquired assets, analysis of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of Biotheranostics' business. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary as the Company continues to gather information supporting the acquired assets and liabilities, the estimation of the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets, and income taxes.

As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company determined the identifiable intangible assets are developed technology and trade names. The preliminary fair value of the intangible assets was estimated using the income approach, and the cash flow projections were discounted using a 18.0% rate. The cash flows were based on estimates used to price the transaction, and the discount rate applied was benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model and the weighted average cost of capital. The weighted average life of developed technology and trade names is 10 years. The preliminary calculation of the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired was recorded to goodwill. Factors contributing to the recognition of the preliminary amount of goodwill were primarily based on anticipated synergistic benefits of adding Biotheranostics' CLIA (Clinical
16

Laboratory Improvement Amendments) lab to the Company's portfolio of offerings and utilizing Diagnostic's marketing and regulatory expertise to drive adoption and revenue growth. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Diagenode

On March 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Diagenode SA ("Diagenode") for a purchase price of $155.1 million. Diagenode, located in Belgium, is a developer and manufacturer of molecular diagnostic assays based on PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology to detect infectious diseases of bacterial, viral or parasite origin. Diagenode's results of operations are reported in the Company's Diagnostics reportable segment from the date of acquisition.

The total purchase price was allocated to Diagenode's preliminary tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair values as of March 1, 2021, as set forth below.

Cash $ 5.6 
Accounts receivable 9.3 
Inventory 9.0 
Other assets 13.9 
Accounts payable and accrued expenses (12.8)
Other liabilities (9.2)
Identifiable intangible assets:
Developed technology 69.8 
Customer relationships 9.2

In performing the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, the intended future use of acquired assets, analysis of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of Diagenode's business. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary as the Company continues to gather information supporting the acquired assets and liabilities, the estimation of the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets, and income taxes.

As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company determined the identifiable intangible assets are developed technology and customer relationships. The preliminary fair value of the intangible assets was estimated using the income approach, and the cash flow projections were discounted using a 14.5% rate for developed technology and a 13.5% rate for customer relationships. The cash flows were based on estimates used to price the transaction, and the discount rate applied was benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model and the weighted average cost of capital. The weighted average life of developed technology and customer relationships is 10 years. The preliminary calculation of the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired was recorded to goodwill. Factors contributing to the recognition of the preliminary amount of goodwill were based on anticipated synergistic benefits of Diagenode's products broadening the Diagnostics portfolio of molecular diagnostics products primarily in the transplant and acute care gastrointestinal and respiratory space as customers seek a broader menu of tests, utilizing Diagnostic's sales force to drive menu expansion and revenue growth and gaining additional PCR assay development expertise. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Somatex Medical Technologies

On December 30, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Somatex Medical Technologies GmbH ("Somatex") for a purchase price of $62.9 million. Somatex, located in Germany, is a manufacturer of biopsy site markers, including the Tumark product line of tissue markers, which were distributed by the Company in the U.S. prior to the acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price is based on the Company's preliminary valuation, and it allocated $38.0 million to the preliminary value of developed technology, $1.2 million to customer relationships, $0.9 million to trade names and $32.4 million to goodwill. The remaining $9.6 million of the purchase price was allocated to the net acquired tangible assets and liabilities. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary as the Company continues to gather information supporting
17

the acquired assets and liabilities. Somatex' results of operations are reported in the Company's Breast Health reportable segment from the date of acquisition.

NXC Imaging

On September 28, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of assets from NXC Imaging, for a purchase price of $5.6 million. NXC Imaging was a long-standing distributor of the Company's Breast and Skeletal products in the U.S. Based on the Company's preliminary valuation, the majority of the purchase price was allocated to a customer relationships intangible asset with a useful life of 5 years. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary as the Company continues to gather information supporting the acquired assets and liabilities.

Fiscal 2020 Acquisitions

Acessa Health

On August 23, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Acessa Health, Inc. ("Acessa") for a purchase price of
$161.3 million, which included a hold-back of $3.0 million that was paid in January 2021, and contingent consideration, which the Company estimated the fair value to be $81.8 million as of the measurement date. Acessa, located in Austin, Texas, manufactures and markets its ProVu system, a laparoscopic radio frequency ablation system for use in treatment of uterine fibroids. Acessa's results of operations are reported in the Company's GYN Surgical reportable segment from the date of acquisition.

The contingent payments are based on a multiple of annual incremental revenue growth over a three-year period ending annually in December. There is no maximum earnout. Pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company recorded its estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration liability utilizing the Monte Carlo simulation based on future revenue projections of Acessa, comparable companies revenue growth rates, implied volatility and applying a risk adjusted discount rate. Each quarter the Company will be required to remeasure the fair value of the liability as assumptions change and such adjustments will be recorded in operating expenses. This fair value measurement was based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represented a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. This fair value measurement is directly impacted by the Company's estimate of future incremental revenue growth of the business. Accordingly, if actual revenue growth is higher or lower than the estimates within the fair value measurement, the Company would record additional charges or benefits, respectively. There was no remeasurement for the three months ended June 26, 2021. For the nine months ended June 26, 2021, the Company remeasured the contingent consideration liability and recorded a gain of $10.1 million to record the liability at fair value. The reduction in fair value was primarily due to a decrease in forecasted revenues over the measurement period.

The total purchase price was allocated to Acessa's preliminary tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair values as of August 23, 2020, as set forth below.

Cash $ 1.2 
Inventory 4.0 
Other assets 4.4 
Accounts payable and accrued expenses (4.7)
Identifiable intangible assets:
Developed technology 127.0 
Trade names 1.2 
Deferred income taxes, net (20.2)
Goodwill 48.4 
Purchase Price $ 161.3 

In performing the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, the intended future use of acquired assets, analysis of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of Acessa's business. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary as the Company continues to gather information supporting the acquired assets and liabilities, primarily taxes.

18

As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company determined the identifiable intangible assets were developed technology and trade names. The preliminary fair value of the intangible assets was estimated using the income approach, and the cash flow projections were discounted using an 18.0% rate. The cash flows were based on estimates used to price the transaction, and the discount rate applied was benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model and the weighted average cost of capital. The weighted average life of developed technology and trade names was 10 years. The preliminary calculation of the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired was recorded to goodwill. Factors contributing to the recognition of the preliminary amount of goodwill were based on anticipated synergistic benefits of Acessa's products being complementary to the GYN Surgical portfolio of products and utilizing the GYN Surgical sales force to drive adoption and revenue growth. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Health Beacons

On February 3, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Health Beacons, Inc. ("Health Beacons"), for a purchase price of $19.7 million, which included hold-backs of $2.3 million that are payable up to eighteen months from the date of acquisition. Health Beacons manufactures the LOCalizer product. Based on the Company's valuation, it allocated $10.7 million to developed technology and $6.2 million to goodwill. The remaining $2.8 million of the purchase price was allocated to acquired tangible assets and liabilities. Health Beacons' results of operations are reported in the Company's Breast Health reportable segment from the date of acquisition.

Alpha Imaging

On December 30, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of assets from Alpha Imaging, LLC ("Alpha Imaging"), for a purchase price of $18.0 million, which included a hold-back of $1.0 million and contingent consideration, which the Company has estimated at $0.9 million. The contingent consideration was payable upon shipment of backlog orders entered into by Alpha Imaging prior to the acquisition. Alpha Imaging was a long-standing distributor of the Company's Breast and Skeletal products in the U.S. The majority of the purchase price was allocated to a customer relationships intangible asset with a useful life of 5 years.

SuperSonic Imagine

On August 1, 2019, the Company purchased 46% of the outstanding shares of SuperSonic Imagine ("SSI") for $18.2 million. SSI was a public company located in Aix-en-Provence, France that manufactures and markets ultrasound medical imaging equipment. In September 2019, the Company launched a cash tender offer to acquire the remaining outstanding shares for a price of €1.50 per share in cash. The Company determined that SSI was a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) but it was not the primary beneficiary as it was not a party to the initial design of the entity nor did it have control over SSI's operations until November 21, 2019 when the Company's ownership of SSI's voting stock exceeded 50%. Accordingly, the Company initially accounted for this investment under the equity method of accounting.

On November 21, 2019, the Company acquired an additional 7.6 million shares of SSI for $12.6 million. As a result, the Company's ownership interest increased to approximately 78% of the outstanding common shares of SSI at November 21, 2019, and it now controlled SSI's voting interest and operations. The Company performed purchase accounting as of November 21, 2019 and beginning on that date the financial results of SSI are included within the Company's consolidated financial statements, specifically the Breast Health reportable segment. The Company remeasured the initial investment of 46% of the outstanding shares of SSI to its fair value at the acquisition date, resulting in a gain of $3.2 million recorded to other income (expense), net in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The total accounting purchase price was $69.3 million, which consisted of $17.9 million for the equity method investment in SSI, $12.6 million for shares acquired on November 21, 2019, $30.2 million for loans the Company provided to SSI prior to the acquisition to pay-off pre-existing loans and fund operations that are considered forgiven, and $8.6 million representing the fair value of the noncontrolling interest as of November 21, 2019. The Company purchased an additional 1.1 million outstanding shares in fiscal 2020 for $1.8 million. In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company purchased the remaining 4.8 million shares outstanding for $8.5 million, and as of June 26, 2021, the Company owned 100% of the outstanding shares of SSI.

The total purchase price was allocated to SSI's tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair values of those assets as of November 21, 2019, as set forth below.

Purchase Price $ 69.3 

In performing the purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, the intended future use of acquired assets, analysis of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of SSI's business. As part of the purchase price allocation, the Company determined the identifiable intangible assets were developed technology, customer relationships, and trade names. The fair value of the intangible assets was estimated using the income approach, and the cash flow projections were discounted using a 12.0% rate. The cash flows were based on estimates used to price the transaction, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model and the weighted average cost of capital. The weighted average life for the developed technology is 9 years, customer relationships is 9 years and trade names is 8.6 years. The calculation of the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired was recorded to goodwill. Factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill were based on anticipated synergistic benefits of SSI's products being complementary to Breast Health's 3D mammography systems and using the Company's existing U.S. sales force as SSI's presence in the U.S. is limited. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

(6) Disposition - Sale of Medical Aesthetics

On November 20, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Medical Aesthetics business to Clayton Dubilier & Rice ("CD&R") for a sales price of $205.0 million in cash, less certain adjustments. The sale was completed on December 30, 2019, and the Company received cash proceeds of $153.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The sale price was subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreement, and the parties agreed to a final sales price of $150.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company agreed to provide certain transition services for three to fifteen months, depending on the nature of the service. The Company also agreed to indemnify CD&R for certain legal and tax matters that existed as of the date of disposition. In connection with its accounting for the sale, the Company recorded indemnification liabilities of $10.9 million within accrued expenses associated with its obligations under the sale agreement.

As a result of this transaction, the Medical Aesthetics asset group was designated as assets held-for-sale in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Pursuant to ASC 360, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, asset groups under this designation are required to be recorded at fair value less costs to sell. The Company determined that this disposal did not qualify as a discontinued operation as the sale of the Medical Aesthetics business was deemed to not be a strategic shift having or will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. Based on the terms in the agreement of the sales price and formula for net working capital and related adjustments, its estimate of the fair value for transition services and the amount that must be carved out of the sale proceeds, and liabilities the Company will retain or for which it has agreed to indemnify CD&R, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $30.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The impairment charge was allocated to Medical Aesthetics long-lived assets, of which $25.8 million was allocated to cost of product revenues and $4.4 million to operating expenses.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, this business incurred a loss from operations of $46.5 million, which excludes corporate allocations. The operating expenses include only those that were incurred directly by and were retained by the
20

disposed business. The Company will continue to incur expenses related to this business under the indemnification provisions primarily related to legal and tax matters that existed as of the date of disposition. These expenses were not significant in the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2021.

2018 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On December 17, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries refinanced its term loan and revolving credit facility by entering into an Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement as of December 17, 2018 (the "2018 Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, and certain other lenders. The 2018 Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company's prior credit and guaranty agreement dated as of October 3, 2017 (the "2017 Credit Agreement"). As of June 26, 2021, the principal amount outstanding of the term loan under the 2018 Credit Agreement (the "Term Loan") was $1.4 billion. The Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to the Eurocurrency Rate (i.e., the LIBOR rate) plus an Applicable Rate, which was 1.00% as of June 26, 2021.

The Company also has a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") under the 2018 Credit Agreement. The borrowings of the Revolver bear interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus an Applicable Rate, which was 1.00% as of June 26, 2021. In response to the market uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the Company borrowed $750.0 million under the Revolver, $250.0 million of which, at the time, was used to pay off amounts outstanding under the asset securitization agreement, in order to have sufficient cash on hand. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company paid off the remaining outstanding balance of $250.0 million. As of June 26, 2021, the full amount of the Revolver was available to borrow by the Company.

Interest expense, weighted average interest rates, and the interest rate at the end of period under the Credit Agreements were as follows: 
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
June 26, 2021 June 27, 2020 June 26, 2021 June 27, 2020
Interest expense $ 5.1  $ 11.4  $ 17.0  $ 38.0 
Weighted average interest rate 1.10  % 1.68  % 1.15  % 2.52  %
Interest rate at end of period 1.09  % 1.55  % 1.09  % 1.55  %

The 2018 Credit Agreement contains two financial covenants; a total leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio, both of which are measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. These terms, and calculations thereof, are defined in further detail in the 2018 Credit Agreement. As of June 26, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Senior Notes

On September 28, 2020, the Company completed a private placement of $950 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.250% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Senior Notes") at an offering price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes. The Company used the net proceeds of the 2029 Senior Notes offering and cash on hand to redeem in full its 4.375% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Senior Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $950.0 million on October 15, 2020 at an aggregate redemption price of $970.8 million, which included a premium payment $20.8 million.

2025 Senior Notes

Immediately prior to redemption in full of the 2025 Senior Notes on October 15, 2020, the total aggregate principal balance of 2025 Senior Notes was $950.0 million. As the Company planned to use the proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes offering to redeem the 2025 Senior Notes, the Company evaluated the accounting for this transaction under ASC 470, Debt, to determine modification versus extinguishment accounting on a creditor-by-creditor basis. Certain 2025 Senior Note holders either did not participate in this refinancing transaction or reduced their holdings, and these transactions were accounted for as extinguishments. As a result, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 of $21.6 million. For the remaining 2025 Senior Notes holders who participated in the refinancing, these transactions were accounted for as modifications because on a creditor-by-creditor basis the present value of the cash flows between the debt instruments before and after the transaction was less than 10%. The Company recorded a portion of the transaction expenses of $5.8 million to interest expense pursuant to ASC 470, subtopic 50-40. The remaining debt issuance costs of $7.9 million and debt discount of $6.4 million related to the modified debt will be amortized over the new term of the 2029 Senior Notes using the effective interest method.

2028 Senior Notes
    
As of June 26, 2021, the Company had 4.625% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Senior Notes") outstanding in the aggregate principal balance of $400 million. The 2028 Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain domestic subsidiaries and mature on February 1, 2028.
2029 Senior Notes

As of June 26, 2021, the Company had 2029 Senior Notes outstanding in the aggregate principal balance of $950 million. The 2029 Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain domestic subsidiaries. The 2029 Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2029 and bear interest at the rate of 3.250% per year, payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2021.

The Company may redeem the 2029 Senior Notes at any time prior to September 28, 2023 at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date and a make-whole premium set forth in the indenture. The Company may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at any time and from time to time before September 28, 2023, at a redemption price equal to 103.250% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. The Company also has the option to redeem the 2029 Senior Notes on or after: September 28, 2023 through September 27, 2024 at 101.625% of par; September 28, 2024 through September 27, 2025 at 100.813% of par; and September 28, 2025 and thereafter at 100% of par. In addition, if the Company undergoes a change of control coupled with a decline in ratings, as provided in the indenture, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s 2029 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

The Company evaluated the 2029 Senior Notes for derivatives pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and did not identify any embedded derivatives that require bifurcation. All features were deemed to be clearly and closely related to the host instrument.

Interest expense for the 2029 Senior Notes, 2028 Senior Notes and 2025 Senior Notes was as follows:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended
June 26, 2021 June 27, 2020 June 26, 2021 June 27, 2020

2029 Senior Notes 3.250  % 8.2  —  24.5  — 
Total $ 13.0  $ 15.7  $ 38.9  $ 47.1 
Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

In response to the market uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 26, 2020, the Company paid-off the total amount outstanding of $250.0 million previously borrowed under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program (the "Securitization Program"). On April 13, 2020, the Company amended the Credit and Security agreement with the lenders, temporarily suspending the ability to borrow and the need to comply with covenants for up to a year. On June 11, 2021, the Company amended and restated the Credit and Security agreement to restart the Securitization Program and increase the maximum borrowing amount to $320.0 million. Loans outstanding under the Securitization Program bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin for defined tranches. As of June 26, 2021, there was $320.0 million outstanding under this program. The weighted average interest rate under the Securitization Program was 0.78% as of June 26, 2021.

Other

Other represents debt acquired in the Mobidiag acquisition, which is primarily with the European Investment Bank ("EIB"). Multiple tranches were withdrawn under the agreement and were primarily used to fund research and development projects and expansion efforts. The debt agreement contains change-in-control provisions allowing the EIB to call the debt at any time after a change-in-control, which occurred as a result of Hologic acquiring Mobidiag. Accordingly, the Company has classified the debt as current. The tranches withdrawn under this agreement have interest rates ranging from 6.0% to 7.0%. The debt agreement includes additional payments to the EIB based on revenues generated by products developed under the funding as well as prepayment penalties.

(8) Trade Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses

Effective September 27, 2020, the Company adopted Topic 326, which requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The expected credit losses are developed using an estimated loss rate method that considers historical collection experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The estimated loss rates are applied to trade receivables with similar risk characteristics such as the length of time the balance has been outstanding and the location of the customer. In certain instances, the Company may identify individual trade receivable assets that do not share risk characteristics with other trade receivables, in which case the Company records its expected credit losses on an individual asset basis. For example, potential adverse changes to customer liquidity from new macroeconomic events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, must be taken into consideration. To date, the Company has not experienced significant customer payment defaults, or identified other significant collectability concerns as a result of the pandemic. In connection with assessing credit losses for individual trade receivable assets, the Company considers significant factors relevant to collectability including those specific to the customer such as bankruptcy, length of time an account is outstanding, and the liquidity and financial position of the customer. If a trade receivable asset is evaluated on an individual basis, the Company excludes those assets from the portfolios of trade receivables evaluated on a collective basis.
The following is a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses as of June 26, 2021 compared to June 27, 2020:

(9) Derivatives
Interest Rate Cap - Cash Flow Hedge
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages its exposure to some of its interest rate risk through the use of interest rate caps, which are derivative financial instruments. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. For a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to the extent the derivative is effective at offsetting the changes in the cash flows being hedged until the hedged item affects earnings. To the extent there is any hedge ineffectiveness, changes in fair value relating to the ineffective portion are immediately recognized in earnings in other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
During fiscal 2018, the Company entered into separate interest rate cap agreements with multiple counter-parties to mitigate the interest rate volatility associated with the variable interest rate on amounts borrowed under the term loan feature of its credit facilities (see Note 7). Interest rate cap agreements provide the right to receive cash if the reference interest rate rises above a contractual rate. The aggregate premium paid for these interest rate cap agreements was $3.7 million, which was the initial fair value of the instruments recorded in the Company's financial statements.
During fiscal 2019, the Company entered into additional separate interest rate cap agreements with multiple counter-parties to extend the expiration date of its hedges by an additional year. The aggregate premium paid for these interest cap agreements was $1.5 million, which was the initial fair value of the instruments recorded in the Company’s financial statements.
The critical terms of the interest rate caps were designed to mirror the terms of the Company’s LIBOR-based borrowings under its Credit Agreement, that has been amended multiple times, and therefore are highly effective at offsetting the cash flows being hedged. The Company designated these derivatives as cash flow hedges of the variability of the LIBOR-based interest payments on $1.0 billion of principal, which ended on December 27, 2019 (the first quarter of fiscal 2020) for the contracts entered into in fiscal 2018, and on December 23, 2020 (the first quarter of fiscal 2021) for the interest rate cap agreements entered into in fiscal 2019.
The interest rate cap agreements matured as of December 26, 2020.
Interest Rate Swap - Cash Flow Hedge
In fiscal 2019, in order to hedge a portion of its variable rate debt beyond the contracted period under interest cap agreements, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract with an effective date of December 23, 2020 and a termination date of December 17, 2023. The notional amount of this swap is $1.0 billion. The interest rate swap effectively fixes the LIBOR component of the variable interest rate on $1.0 billion of the notional amount under the 2018 Credit Agreement at 1.23%. The critical terms of the interest rate swap are designed to mirror the terms of the Company’s LIBOR-based borrowings under its credit agreement and therefore are highly effective at offsetting the cash flows being hedged. The Company designated this derivative as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the LIBOR-based interest payments on $1.0 billion of principal. Therefore, changes in the fair value of the swap are recorded in AOCI. The fair value of this derivative was in a liability position of $21.0 million as of June 26, 2021.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts and Foreign Currency Option Contracts
The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts to mitigate a portion of its cash balances and certain operational exposures from the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Such exposures result from the portion of the Company's cash and operations that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Euro, the UK Pound, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Chinese Yuan and the Japanese Yen. These foreign currency exchange contracts are entered into to support transactions made in the ordinary course of business and are not speculative in nature. The contracts are generally for periods of one year or less. The Company did not elect hedge accounting for these contracts; however, the Company may seek to apply hedge accounting in future scenarios. The change in the fair value of these contracts is recognized directly in earnings as a component of other income (expense), net.
24

Realized and unrealized gains and losses from these contracts, which were the only derivative contracts not designated for hedge accounting, for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively, were as follows:

As of June 26, 2021, the Company had outstanding foreign currency option contracts that were not designated for hedge accounting and were used to hedge fluctuations in the U.S. dollar of forecasted transactions denominated in the Euro and UK Pound with a notional amount of $65.0 million.

Litigation and Related Matters
    
On November 6, 2015, the Company filed a suit against Minerva Surgical, Inc. (“Minerva”) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that Minerva’s endometrial ablation device infringes U.S. Patent 6,872,183 (the '183 patent), U.S. Patent 8,998,898 and U.S. Patent 9,095,348 (the '348 patent). On January 25, 2016, the Company amended the complaint to include claims against Minerva for unfair competition, deceptive trade practices and tortious interference with business relationships. On February 5, 2016, the Company filed a second amended complaint to additionally allege that Minerva’s endometrial ablation device infringes U.S. Patent 9,247,989 (the '989 patent). On March 4, 2016, Minerva filed an answer and counterclaims against the Company, seeking declaratory judgment on the Company’s claims and asserting claims against the Company for unfair competition, deceptive trade practices, interference with contractual relationships, breach of contract and trade libel. On June 2, 2016, the Court denied the Company’s motion for a preliminary injunction on its patent claims and denied Minerva’s request for preliminary injunction related to the Company’s alleged false and deceptive statements regarding the Minerva product. On June 28, 2018, the Court granted the Company's summary judgment motions on infringement and no invalidity with respect to the ‘183 and ‘348 patents. The Court also granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment on assignor estoppel, which bars Minerva’s invalidity defenses or any reliance on collateral findings regarding invalidity from inter partes review proceedings. The Court also denied all of Minerva’s defenses, including its motions for summary judgment on invalidity, non-infringement, no willfulness, and no unfair competition. On July 27, 2018, after a two-week trial, a jury returned a verdict that: (1) awarded the Company $4.8 million in damages for Minerva’s infringement; (2) found that Minerva’s infringement was not willful; and (3) found for the Company regarding Minerva’s counterclaims. Damages continued to accrue as Minerva continues its infringing conduct. On May 2, 2019, the Court issued rulings that denied the parties' post-trial motions, including the Company's motion for a permanent injunction seeking to prohibit Minerva from selling infringing devices. Both parties appealed the Court's rulings regarding the post-trial motions. On March 4, 2016, Minerva filed two petitions at the USPTO for inter partes review of the '348 patent. On September 12, 2016, the PTAB declined both petitions to review patentability of the '348 patent. On April 11, 2016, Minerva filed a petition for inter partes review of the '183 patent. On October 6, 2016, the PTAB granted the petition and instituted a review of the '183 patent. On December 15, 2017, the PTAB issued a final written decision invalidating all claims of the ‘183 patent. On February 9, 2018 the Company appealed this decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("Court of Appeals"). On April 19, 2019, the Court of Appeals affirmed the PTAB's final written decision regarding the '183 patent. On July 16, 2019, the Court of Appeals denied the Company’s petition for rehearing in the appeal regarding the '183 patent. On April 22, 2020, the Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s summary judgment ruling in favor of the Company of no invalidity and infringement, and summary judgment that assignor estoppel bars Minerva from challenging the validity of the ‘348 patent. The Court of Appeals also denied the Company’s motion for a permanent injunction and ongoing royalties for infringement of the ‘183 patent. The Court of Appeals denied Minerva’s arguments for no damages or, alternatively, a new trial. On May 22, 2020 both parties petitioned for en banc review of the Court of Appeals decision. On July 22, 2020, the Court of Appeals denied both parties' petitions for en banc review. On August 28, 2020, the district court entered final judgment against Minerva but stayed execution pending resolution of Minerva’s petition for Supreme Court review. On September 30, 2020, Minerva filed a petition requesting Supreme Court review on the issue of assignor estoppel. On November 5, 2020, Hologic filed a cross-petition requesting Supreme Court review on the issue of assignor estoppel. On January 8, 2021, the Supreme Court granted Minerva’s petition to address the issue of assignor estoppel and denied Hologic's petition. Oral argument before the Supreme Court was held on April 21, 2021. On June 29, 2021, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to uphold but narrow assignor estoppel but limited its application to situations in which an assignor’s claim of invalidity contradicts a prior representation the assignor made in assigning the patent. The Court also vacated the ruling of the Court of Appeals and remanded the case for further proceedings consistent with its opinion.
    
On April 11, 2017, Minerva filed suit against the Company and Cytyc Surgical Products, LLC (“Cytyc”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that the Company’s and Cytyc’s NovaSure ADVANCED endometrial ablation device infringes Minerva’s U.S. patent 9,186,208. Minerva is seeking a preliminary and permanent injunction against the Company and Cytyc from selling this NovaSure device as well as enhanced damages and interest, including lost profits, price erosion and/or royalty. On January 5, 2018, the Court denied Minerva's motion for a preliminary injunction. On February 2, 2018, at the parties’ joint request, this action was transferred to the District of Delaware. On March
26

26, 2019, the Magistrate Judge issued a claims construction ruling regarding the disputed terms in the patent, which the District Court Judge adopted in all respects on October 21, 2019. The original trial date of July 20, 2020 was vacated. On October 21, 2020, the trial court scheduled a 10-day trial beginning on August 9, 2021. At this time, based on available information regarding this litigation, the Company is unable to reasonably assess the ultimate outcome of this case or determine an estimate, or a range of estimates, of potential losses.

As described in Note 6, the Company has agreed to indemnify CD&R for certain legal matters related to the Medical Aesthetics business that existed at the date of disposition. The Company currently has $8.5 million accrued for such matters as of June 26, 2021. While the Company believes the estimated amounts accrued are reasonable, certain matters are still ongoing and additional accruals could be recorded in the future.
    
The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings and claims arising out of the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that except for those matters described above there are no other proceedings or claims pending against it the ultimate resolution of which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. In all cases, at each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under ASC 450, Contingencies. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company granted 0.5 million and 0.8 million restricted stock units (RSUs) during the nine months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively, with weighted-average grant date fair values of $68.45 and $45.67 per unit, respectively. In addition, the Company granted 0.1 million and 0.1 million performance stock units (PSUs) during the nine months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively, to members of its senior management team, which have a weighted-average grant date fair value of $68.51 and $45.38 per unit, respectively. Each recipient of PSUs is eligible to receive between zero and 200% of the target number of shares of the Company’s common stock at the end of three years provided the Company’s defined Return on Invested Capital metrics are achieved. The Company also granted 0.1 million and 0.1 million of PSUs based on a one-year free cash flow measure (FCF) to its senior management team, which had a grant date fair value of $68.51 and $45.38 per unit during the nine months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. Each recipient of FCF PSUs is eligible to receive between zero and 200% of the target number of shares of the Company's common stock at the end of the one-year measurement period, but the FCF PSUs vest at the end of the three year service period. The PSUs and FCF PSUs cliff-vest three years from the date of grant, and the Company recognizes compensation expense ratably over the required service period based on its estimate of the number of shares that will vest upon achieving the measurement criteria. If there is a change in the estimate of the number of shares that are probable of vesting, the Company will cumulatively adjust compensation expense in the period that the change in estimate is made. The Company also granted 0.1 million and 0.1 million market-based awards (MSUs) to its senior management team during the nine months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. Each recipient of MSUs is eligible to receive between zero and 200% of the target number of shares of the Company’s common stock at the end of three years based upon achieving a certain total shareholder return relative to a defined peer group. The MSUs were valued at $82.51 and $43.54 per share using the Monte Carlo simulation model. These awards cliff-vest three years from the date of grant, and the Company recognizes compensation expense for the MSUs ratably over the service period. At June 26, 2021, there was 3.0 million in aggregate RSUs, PSUs, FCF PSUs and MSUs outstanding.
At June 26, 2021, there was $19.4 million and $61.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options and stock units (comprised of RSUs, PSUs, FCF PSUs and MSUs), respectively, to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 and 2.0 years, respectively.

In September 2020 and October 2020, the Company received grants of $7.6 million and $119.3 million, respectively, from the Department of Defense Joint Acquisition Task Force ("DOD") to expand production capacity for the Company's two SARS-CoV-2 assays. These grants are specifically to fund the capital equipment and labor investments needed to increase manufacturing capacity to enable the Company to provide a certain amount of COVID-19 tests per month for the U.S. market. The Company is accounting for the funds received under these grants as a reimbursement of the purchased capital equipment. The DOD retains title to assets purchased under the agreement, and title is transferred to the Company upon meeting certain milestones of the manufacturing efforts. In the current three and nine month periods, the Company received $8.3 million and $19.4 million, respectively, from the DOD under these grants which has been recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of the purchased equipment.

(14) Business Segments and Geographic Information
During fiscal 2021, the Company had four reportable segments: Diagnostics, Breast Health, GYN Surgical and Skeletal Health. During fiscal 2020, the Company had five reportable segments that included Medical Aesthetics. The Company completed the sale of its Medical Aesthetics business on December 30, 2019. The Company measures and evaluates its reportable segments based on segment revenues and operating income adjusted to exclude the effect of non-cash charges, such as intangible asset amortization expense, intangible asset and goodwill impairment charges, transaction and integration expenses for acquisitions, restructuring, consolidation and divestiture charges, litigation charges, and other one-time or unusual items.
29

Identifiable assets for the reportable segments consist of inventories, intangible assets, goodwill, and property, plant and equipment. The Company fully allocates depreciation expense to its reportable segments. The Company has presented all other identifiable assets as corporate assets.

(15) Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740), each interim period is considered integral to the annual period, and tax expense is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate. An entity is required to record income tax expense each quarter based on its annual effective tax rate estimated for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim period.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2021 was a provision of 20.6% and 21.0%, respectively, compared to a provision of 19.0% and a net benefit of 60.3%, respectively, for the corresponding periods in the prior year.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 26, 2021 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the impact of the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income and the geographic mix of income earned by our international subsidiaries, which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate, and federal and state tax credits, partially offset by state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 26, 2021 was equal to the U.S. statutory tax rate as the impact of the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income and the geographic mix of income earned by our international subsidiaries, which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate, were offset by state income taxes.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 27, 2020 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the geographic mix of income earned by our international subsidiaries which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate, including the impact of the U.S. tax imposed on global intangible low-taxed income and the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income, and reserve releases resulting from statute of limitations expirations, partially offset by unbenefited foreign losses. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 27, 2020 differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to a $312.8 million discrete net tax benefit related to the loss on the sale of the Medical Aesthetics business.

Non-Income Tax Matters

The Company is subject to tax examinations for value-added, sales-based, payroll, and other non-income tax items. A number of these examinations are ongoing in various jurisdictions. The Company takes certain non-income tax positions in the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company's positions and conclusions related to its non-income tax positions could be challenged, resulting in assessments by governmental authorities. Pursuant to ASC 450, the Company has recorded loss contingencies with respect to some of these positions. While the Company believes estimated losses previously recorded are reasonable, certain audits are still ongoing and additional charges could be recorded in the future.

(20) New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 for Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The Board issued this Update as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards (the Simplification Initiative). For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 and is applicable to the Company in fiscal 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2019-12 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The Board issued this Update to clarify certain interactions between the guidance to account for certain equity securities under Topic 321, the guidance to account for investments under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323, and the guidance in Topic 815. This update could change how an entity accounts for an equity security under the measurement alternative or a forward contract or purchased option to purchase securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or the fair value option in accordance with Topic 825, Financial Instruments. For entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-01, the updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and is applicable to the Company in fiscal 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-01 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

33

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The Board issued this Update as optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. This update will provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to only contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. For entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-04, the updated guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-04 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In January 2021, FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Scope. The board issued this Update in response to stakeholder concerns about potential diversity in practice. The Boards decided to clarify the scope of Topic 848 so that derivatives affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848. This update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to only contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. For entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2021-01, the updated guidance is effective for all entities immediately as of January 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2021-01 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

OVERVIEW
We are a developer, manufacturer and supplier of premium diagnostics products, medical imaging systems, and surgical products focused on women's health and well-being through early detection and treatment. We sell and service our products through a combination of direct sales and service personnel and a network of independent distributors and sales representatives. We operate in four segments: Diagnostics, Breast Health, GYN Surgical and Skeletal Health. Until December 30, 2019, our product portfolio included aesthetic and medical treatments systems sold by our former Medical Aesthetic business. We completed the sale of our Medical Aesthetics segment on December 30, 2019 (the first day of the second quarter of fiscal 2020).
Through our Diagnostics segment, we offer a wide range of diagnostics products, which are used primarily to aid in the screening and diagnosis of human diseases. Our primary Diagnostics products include our molecular diagnostic assays, which run on our advanced instrumentation systems (Panther, Panther Fusion and Tigris), our ThinPrep cytology system, and the Rapid Fetal Fibronectin Test. Our Aptima family of molecular diagnostic assays is used to detect, among other things, the infectious microorganisms that cause the common sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, or CTGC, certain high-risk strains of human papillomavirus, or HPV, and Trichomonas vaginalis, the parasite that causes trichomoniasis. In addition, in 2017 and 2018 we introduced the Aptima quantitative viral load tests for HIV, Hepatitis C and Hepatitis B. Our assay portfolio also includes diagnostic tests for a range of acute respiratory infections, including SARS-CoV-2, as well as a test for the detection of Group B Streptococcus, or GBS, that are run on the Panther Fusion system, a field upgradeable instrument addition to the base Panther system. In 2020, in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, we developed and launched the Aptima SARS-CoV-2 assay (which runs on our standard Panther system) and the Panther Fusion SARS-CoV-2 assay (which runs on our Panther Fusion system). The Panther Fusion SARS-CoV-2 assay and the Aptima SARS-CoV-2 assay were launched at the end of our second quarter and in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, respectively. The ThinPrep System is primarily used in cytology applications, such as cervical cancer screening, and the Rapid Fetal Fibronectin Test assists physicians in assessing the risk of pre-term birth.
Our Breast Health segment offers a broad portfolio of solutions for breast cancer care for radiology, pathology and surgery. These solutions include breast imaging and analytics, such as our 2D and 3D digital mammography systems and reading workstations, minimally invasive breast biopsy guidance systems and devices, breast biopsy site markers and localization, specimen radiology, ultrasound and connectivity solutions and breast conserving surgery products. Our most advanced breast imaging platforms, Selenia Dimensions and 3Dimensions, utilize a technology called tomosynthesis to produce 3D images that show multiple contiguous slice images of the breast, which we refer to as the Genius 3D Mammography exam, as well as conventional 2D full field digital mammography images. With the acquisition of SuperSonic Imagine in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we now offer premium ultrasound imaging, further connecting Hologic capabilities across the continuum of breast care from screening to diagnosis and treatment.
Our GYN Surgical products include our NovaSure Endometrial Ablation System, or NovaSure, and our MyoSure Hysteroscopic Tissue Removal System, or MyoSure, as well as our Fluent Fluid Management system, or Fluent. The NovaSure portfolio is comprised of the NovaSure CLASSIC and NovaSure ADVANCED devices and involves a trans-cervical procedure
36


for the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding. The MyoSure suite of devices offers four options to provide incision-less removal of fibroids, polyps, and other pathology within the uterus. The Fluent system is a fluid management system that provides liquid distention during diagnostic and operative hysteroscopic procedures.
Our Skeletal Health segment's products includes the Horizon DXA, a dual energy x-ray system, which evaluates bone density and performs body composition assessments, and the Fluoroscan Insight FD mini C-arm, which assists in performing minimally invasive orthopedic surgical procedures on a patient's extremities, such as the hand, wrist, knee, foot, and ankle.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to we, us, Hologic or our company refer to Hologic, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
COVID-19 Considerations
The global COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption in the markets we sell our products into, primarily the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific. Starting in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the spread of COVID-19 negatively impacted business and healthcare activity globally. In particular, due to government measures, elective procedures and exams were delayed or cancelled, there were significant reductions in physician office visits, and hospitals postponed or canceled capital purchases as well as limited or eliminated services; however, in the second half of the third quarter of fiscal 2020, we started to see a recovery of elective procedures and exams as economies were opened back up and restrictions eased, which has continued through the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The reductions in testing and procedures had a negative impact on our operating results and cash flows in fiscal 2020, however, the impact of the commercial release of our COVID-19 assays more than offset those negative impacts as we generated significant revenue from the sales of these assays starting in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 through the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
While our results of operations and cash flows since the third quarter of fiscal 2020 have been positively impacted by the sale of our COVID-19 assays as well the continued recovery of our other primary product lines and businesses to pre-COVID levels, the COVID-19 pandemic could have an adverse impact on our operating results, cash flows and financial condition in the future. The factors that could create such adverse impact include: continued demand for COVID-19 testing; competition from existing and new COVID-19 testing technologies and products as well as the timing and effectiveness of distributing vaccines; the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic; the resurgence of COVID-19 infections; the emergence of new COVID strain variants; the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the U.S. and international healthcare systems, the U.S. economy and worldwide economy; and the timing, scope and effectiveness of U.S. and international governmental, regulatory, fiscal, monetary and public health responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic disruptions. We expect that as the current COVID-19 pandemic subsides, there may be a significantly reduced demand for ongoing testing, and thus, for our COVID-19 assays. As expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, revenues generated from the sale of our COVID-19 assays decreased significantly in the U.S. compared to the prior year period and the first and second quarters of fiscal 2021 as the population of vaccinated people continues to grow in the U.S. We expect this trend to continue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.
In response to the negative impact of COVID-19 on our business, in April 2020, we initiated cost-cutting measures, which included not only reducing discretionary and variable spend, such as travel, marketing programs and the use of contractors, consultants and temporary help, but we also implemented employee furloughs, salary cuts primarily in the U.S., reduced hours and in certain instances, employee terminations. Further in April 2020, we shut down certain manufacturing facilities temporarily and implemented reduced work-week schedules in response to lower near-term demand for many of our products. As of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2020, substantially all of the Company's employee cost-cutting measures ceased, and the majority of the impacted manufacturing facilities were back to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels.
We have also taken and continue to take measures to ensure the safety of our employees and to comply with governmental orders. These measures could require that our employees continue to work remotely or otherwise refrain from reporting to their normal workplace for extended periods of time, which in turn could result in a decrease in our commercial and marketing activities.

NXC Imaging

On September 28, 2020, we completed the acquisition of assets from NXC Imaging, for a purchase price of $5.6 million. NXC Imaging was a long-standing distributor of our Breast and Skeletal products in the U.S. NXC's results of operations are included in our Breast Health and Skeletal segment, as applicable to their operations.

Acessa Health

On August 23, 2020, we completed the acquisition of Acessa Health, Inc., or Acessa, for a purchase price of $161.3 million, which included contingent consideration and was estimated at $81.8 million as of the measurement date. Acessa, located in Austin, Texas, manufactures and markets the Acessa ProVu system, a laparoscopic radio frequency ablation system for use in treatment of uterine fibroids. Acessa's results of operations are included in our GYN Surgical segment. The contingent consideration is based on annual incremental revenue growth over a three-year period ending annually in December. The contingent consideration is payable after each annual measurement period. We remeasure the contingent consideration liability on a quarterly basis, and for the nine months ended we recorded a gain of $10.1 million to decrease the liability to its fair value. The reduction in fair value was primarily due to a decrease in forecasted revenues over the measurement period.

Alpha Imaging was a long-standing distributor of our Breast and Skeletal Health products in the U.S. Alpha Imaging's result of operations are included in our Breast Health and Skeletal segment, as applicable to their operations.

SuperSonic Imagine

On August 1, 2019, we acquired approximately 46% of the outstanding shares of SuperSonic Imagine S.A., or SSI, which is headquartered in France. SSI specializes in ultrasound imaging and designs, and develops and markets an ultrasound platform used in the non-invasive care path for the characterization of breast, liver and prostate diseases. We initially accounted for this investment as an equity method investment.

On November 21, 2019, we acquired an additional 7.6 million shares of SSI for $12.6 million. As a result, we owned approximately 78% of the outstanding shares of SSI at November 21, 2019 and controlled SSI's voting interest and operations. We performed purchase accounting as of November 21, 2019 and beginning on that date the financial results of SSI are included within our consolidated financial statements within our Breast Health segment. We remeasured the initial investment of 46% of the outstanding shares of SSI to its fair value at the acquisition date, resulting in a gain of $3.2 million recorded in Other income (expense), net in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we acquired the remaining 4.8 million shares outstanding of SSI for $8.5 million. As of June 26, 2021, we owned 100% of SSI. Accordingly we have recorded an adjustment to our net income for the non-controlling interest we did not own of $0.3 million and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2021, respectively, and $1.5 million and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended June 27, 2020, respectively.

Disposition

On December 30, 2019, we completed the sale of our Medical Aesthetics business. At the closing, we received cash proceeds of $153.4 million. The sales price was finalized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, and we repaid $3.4 million, resulting in a final sales price of $150.0 million. As a result of the sale, we recorded a $30.2 million impairment charge in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 to record the asset group at fair value less costs to dispose as it met the assets held-for-sale criteria. For additional information, see Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included herein. Following the sale of our Medical Aesthetics business, we have not generated any further product revenue related to this business, although additional expenses will be incurred primarily in connection with the indemnification of legal and tax matters that existed as of the date of disposition. In addition, we agreed to provide transition services for a period of up to 15 months, which ended in March 2021.

We generated an increase in product revenues in both the current three and nine month periods of 41.8% and 89.2%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the significant increase in revenues in the Diagnostics business, which for the current nine month period was principally from sales of our two COVID-19 assays, one of which was launched near the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and the other in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Excluding sales of our COVID-19 assays, product revenues in the prior year periods were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and product revenues in the current year periods have increased across our divisions. We primarily attribute this increase to recovery of elective procedures and exams as economies were opened back up and restrictions eased. In the current three month period, the increases in product revenues were partially offset by a reduction in sales of our COVID-19 assays. We attribute this decrease primarily to reduced testing resulting from the extensive distribution of vaccines in the U.S. The increase in product revenues in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding prior year period was partially offset by no revenues from the Medical Aesthetics business in the current fiscal year as we disposed of this business segment on December 30, 2019, the beginning of our second quarter of fiscal 2020.
Diagnostics product revenues increased $108.6 million and $1,644.4 million, or 20.5% and 143.1%, respectively, in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to increases in Molecular Diagnostics of $52.2 million and $1,585.9 million, respectively, and increases in Cytology & Perinatal of $51.5 million and $58.4 million, respectively. Blood Screening product revenue increased $4.9 million in the current three month period and was flat in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. While we divested our Blood Screening business in the second quarter of fiscal 2017, we continue to provide long-term access to Panther instrumentation and certain supplies to the purchaser of that business. Molecular Diagnostics product revenue was $511.1 million and $2,410.6 million, respectively, in the current three and nine month periods compared to $459.0 million and $824.7 million in the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase in the current three month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily attributable to sales of our Aptima assays (exclusive of our Aptima SARS-CoV-2 assay), which primarily consist of our CTGC, HPV and Trichomonas vaginalis assays, on a worldwide basis, as well as an increase in collection kits due to a return to pre-COVID testing levels and the prior year periods sales were adversely impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related lockdowns across the globe. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue from our two SARS-CoV-2 assays in the U.S. in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year as volumes declined and to a lesser extent average sales prices declined, as well as lower sales of Panther instruments. Sales of our COVID-19 assays declined to $291.2 million in the current three month period compared to $324.0 million in the corresponding period in the prior year. We primarily attribute this decline to lower COVID-19 testing in the U.S. resulting from the continued distribution of vaccines and higher inventory levels at our laboratory customers. This decline was partially offset by increased international revenues, as the distribution of vaccines has been slower outside of the U.S. The increase in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily attributable to sales of our COVID-19 assays, which increased to $1,716.2 million in the current nine month period compared to $328.1 million in the corresponding period in the prior year, an increase in our Aptima assays, an increase in collection kits and Panther and Panther Fusion instrument sales primarily due to demand for increased testing capacity for COVID-19. However, we do expect that sales of our COVID-19 assays will continue to decline, primarily in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the current quarter due to the continued distribution of vaccines and higher inventory levels at our laboratory customers. Cytology & Perinatal product revenue increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to higher ThinPrep test volumes in the U.S. and Asia-Pacific, which we primarily attribute to the recovery of wellness office visits that had previously been delayed or cancelled in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the prior year periods sales were adversely impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related

lockdowns across the globe, partially offset by lower average selling prices and lower Perinatal product volumes. The inclusion of Diagenode contributed $10.1 million and $13.6 million of product revenue in the current three and nine month periods, respectively. We also experienced an increase in revenue from the favorable foreign currency exchange impact of the weakened U.S. dollar against a number of currencies in both the current three and nine month periods.
Breast Health product revenues increased $100.1 million and $110.9 million, or 89.8% and 21.9%, respectively, in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year as product revenues in the prior year periods were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and related lockdowns across the globe. These increases were primarily due to an increase in sales volume of our digital mammography systems and related workflow products (primarily Intelligent 2D, Clarity HD and SmartCurve), Affirm Prone breast biopsy tables, and our interventional breast solutions products, primarily Eviva, ATEC, and Brevera disposables (relaunched in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020). In addition, we had higher sales of our breast conserving surgery products and ultrasound imaging products. We primarily attribute the increase in revenues to hospitals and imaging centers purchasing capital equipment to fulfill their budgets and demand has increased in sequential quarters, which we attribute to the recovery of elective procedures and exams as elective procedures and wellness visits have recovered from the initial cancellation and deferrals due to the COVID-19 pandemic in fiscal 2020. We also experienced an increase in revenue from the favorable foreign currency exchange impact of the weakened U.S. dollar against a number of currencies in both the current three and nine month periods.
GYN Surgical product revenues increased $76.1 million and $90.2 million, or 148.3% and 32.8 %, respectively, in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the GYN Surgical business recovering as a result of the recovery of elective medical visits and procedures that had previously been delayed or cancelled in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and to a lesser extent healthcare providers increasing their inventory levels to ensure there are no supply constraints. These increases were primarily due to increases in the sales volume of MyoSure systems, NovaSure systems, Fluent Fluid Management systems and to a lesser extent sales of ProVu systems, acquired in the Acessa acquisition in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. We also experienced an increase in revenue from the favorable foreign currency exchange impact of the weakened U.S. dollar against a number of currencies.
Skeletal Health product revenues increased $8.8 million and $9.1 million, or 88.0% and 20.9%, respectively, in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to an increase in sales volume of both our Insight FD mini C-arm and Horizon DXA systems. We primarily attribute this increase to the increase in wellness visits and healthcare screenings in 2021 as a result of the ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
We divested the Medical Aesthetics segment on December 30, 2019, the beginning of our second quarter of fiscal 2020.

In the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, the percentage of product revenue derived from the U.S. decreased while Europe increased, which we primarily attributed to strong sales of our SARS-CoV-2 assays in Europe and growth in our Aptima assays in Europe as we expanded our customer base and increased sales from the adoption of co-testing for cervical cancer screening in Germany and to a lesser extent in the UK. Asia-Pacific product revenue as a percentage of total product revenue increased in the current three month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in sales of our SARS-CoV-2 assays in the region, an increase in sales of our mammography systems and growth in ThinPrep and Molecular Diagnostics primarily due to the recovery of wellness office visits that had previously been delayed or cancelled in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Service and other revenues consist primarily of revenue generated from our field service organization to provide ongoing service, installation, and repair of our products. The majority of these revenues are generated within our Breast Health segment. The increase in service and other revenue in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year was primarily due to an increase in Breast Health service contract revenue as the Breast Health business continued to convert a high percentage of our installed base of digital mammography systems to service contracts upon expiration of the warranty period, as well as additions from our distributor acquisitions. We also experienced an increase in spare parts revenue in the current three and nine month periods for services that had previously been delayed or cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In our Diagnostics business, we had additional royalty revenue in the current three and nine month periods of $9.8 million, and $32.6 million, respectively, from Grifols related to licensing our intellectual property to our COVID-19 assays for their sale in Spain. In addition, the inclusion of Biotheranostics added $13.2 million and $17.2 million in the current three and nine month periods, respectively. These increases were partially offset by the sale of the Medical Aesthetics business which contributed $15.6 million of revenue in the prior year nine month period.

Cost of Product Revenues. The cost of product revenues as a percentage of product revenues was 30.5% and 23.2% in the current three and nine month periods, respectively, compared to 32.1% and 33.9% in the corresponding periods in the prior year, respectively. Cost of product revenues as a percentage of revenue decreased in the current three and nine month periods primarily due to sales of our SARS-CoV-2 assays, which have higher gross margins compared to our other diagnostic products, and comprised 29.3% and 44.8% of total product revenue in the current three and nine month periods, respectively, compared to 46.2% and 16.2% in the corresponding periods in the prior year, respectively. Also benefiting gross margin in the current year period was higher sales volumes from our other businesses and product lines as they have continued to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic as economies opened back up and restrictions eased and the disposition of Medical Aesthetics, which had lower gross margins compared to our remaining businesses. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher field service costs for our expanded instrument installed base for the Diagnostics business and higher freight costs.
Diagnostics' product costs as a percentage of revenue increased in the current three month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to lower sales of our SARS-CoV-2 assays, an increase in reserves, higher field service costs for our expanded instrument installed base, increased amortization of placed instruments, higher freight charges and a slight decline in average selling prices. These increases were partially offset by increased volumes of our Aptima assays and ThinPrep Pap Test. Diagnostics' product costs as a percentage of revenue decreased in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to higher sales of our SARS-CoV-2 assays and higher overall production of our Aptima assays and ThinPrep Pap Test reducing fixed overhead on a unit basis, partially offset by higher field service costs for our expanded instrument installed base, freight charges, inventory reserves and a slight decline in average selling prices.
Breast Health’s product costs as a percentage of revenue decreased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year periods, which resulted in decreased sales volume across the majority of our product lines, period costs for temporary facility shut-downs and reduced manufacturing utilization and increased inventory reserves. In the current three and nine month periods sales volumes have increased for our higher margin 3Dimensions systems, higher-margin workflow products, consisting of Intelligent 2D, Clarity HD and SmartCurve upgrades, and our breast biopsy and breast conserving surgery disposable products.
GYN Surgical’s product costs as a percentage of revenue decreased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year periods, which resulted in significant decreases in sales volume of our NovaSure and MyoSure devices, period costs for the temporary shutdown of our manufacturing facility and reduced manufacturing utilization. In the current three and nine month periods, the Surgical business has recovered to which significantly improved margins, partially offset by product mix of higher volumes of lower margin products, including our Fluent Fluid Management systems and ProVu systems, acquired in the Acessa acquisition.
Skeletal Health’s product costs as a percentage of revenue decreased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year due to higher sales volume of both our Insight FD mini C-arm and Horizon DXA systems and higher inventory reserves in the prior year periods.
We divested the Medical Aesthetics segment on December 30, 2019, the beginning of our second quarter of fiscal 2020.
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets relates to acquired developed technology, which is generally amortized over its estimated useful life of between 5 and 15 years using a straight-line method or, if reliably determinable, based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are expected to be consumed. Amortization expense increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to intangible assets acquired in the Biotheranostics, Diagenode, Somatex and Acessa acquisitions, partially offset by lower amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Cytyc acquisition which reduces over time.
Impairment of Intangible Assets and Equipment. As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, we recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $30.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The impairment charge was allocated to the Medical Aesthetics long-lived assets, of which $25.8 million was allocated to developed technology assets and written off to cost of revenues.

Service and other revenues gross margin increased to 45.3% and 45.6%, respectively, in the current three and nine month periods compared to 43.2% and 42.5%, respectively, in the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase in the current year periods was primarily due to additional royalty revenue from Grifols related to licensing our intellectual property related to our COVID-19 assays for their sale in Spain, which has a high margin. In addition, in the current year periods the Breast Health business had an increase in service contract revenue which benefited gross margin as service contract revenue has higher margins compared to revenue from spare parts, installation and training.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased 25.2% and 20.7% in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to higher R&D project spend in Diagnostics, Breast Health and Surgical, the inclusion of expenses from the Acessa, Biotheranostics, Diagenode and Somatex acquisitions, higher consulting spending and increased spending to implement the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) requirements. In the current nine month period, we recorded a $7.0 million charge related to the purchase of intellectual property in Breast Health. Partially offsetting these increases in the current nine month period was the reduction of expense due to the disposition of the Medical Aesthetics business which contributed $7.3 million of expense in the prior year nine month period. In addition, in the current three and nine month periods we recorded a credit to research and development expenses of $2.4 million and $10.1 million, respectively, from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) in connection with a grant to expand manufacturing capacity and obtain FDA approval of our SARS-CoV-2 assays compared to a credit of $4.7 million in the prior year three and nine month periods. At any point in time, we have a number of different research projects and clinical trials being conducted and the timing of these projects and related costs can vary from period to period.

Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased 37.9% and 12.0% in the current three and nine months periods, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to an increase in commissions in Breast Health, Surgical and Diagnostics from higher revenues, an increase in marketing initiatives and consulting spending, and the inclusion of expenses in the aggregate from the Acessa, Biotheranostics, Diagenode and Somatex acquisitions of $12.2 million and $20.9 million in the current three and nine month periods, respectively. Partially offsetting these increases in the current nine month period was the disposition of the Medical Aesthetics business which contributed $23.7 million of expense in the prior year nine month period, lower travel expenses in response to the COVID pandemic and decreases in meeting expenses primarily related to cancelling our national sales meeting and not having an in-person RSNA conference as a result of the COVID pandemic.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased 11.4% and 14.5% in the current three and nine month periods, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the inclusion of expenses from the Acessa, Biotheranostics, Diagenode and Somatex acquisitions, increased acquisition transaction costs including $11.5 million for a transfer tax related to the Mobidiag acquisition, higher litigation and settlement costs, increased consulting spend for corporate initiatives and information system implementation projects, higher salary expenses due to pay reductions and furloughs implemented in April 2020 due to the COVID pandemic, and lower credits in the current year periods of $5.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively, related to transition services provided to Cynosure, partially offset by lower bonus and stock-based compensation, and lower bad debt expense. In the current three month period, we had lower charitable donations. In the current nine month period, we had higher expense from our deferred compensation plan, partially offset by the disposition of the Medical Aesthetics business, which contributed $5.5 million of expenses in the prior year period, expenses incurred to separate and dispose of that business, and a $3.3 million benefit due to reversal of a tax reserve.
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets results from customer relationships, trade names, distributor relationships and business licenses related to our acquisitions. These intangible assets are generally amortized over their estimated useful lives of between 2 and 30 years using a straight-line method or, if reliably determinable, based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are expected to be consumed utilizing expected undiscounted future cash flows. Amortization expense was relatively consistent in both periods compared to the prior year periods as we had increases from recent acquisitions offset by assets from older acquisitions becoming fully amortized.
Contingent Consideration Fair Value Adjustments. In connection with the acquisition of Acessa, we are obligated to make contingent earn-out payments. The payments are based on achieving incremental revenue growth over a three-year period ending annually in December. As of the acquisition date for Acessa, we recorded a contingent consideration liability for the estimated fair value of the amount we expected to pay to the former shareholders of the acquired business. This liability is not contingent on future employment, and we recorded our estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration liability utilizing the Monte Carlo simulation based on future revenue projections of Acessa, comparable companies revenue growth rates, implied volatility and applying a risk adjusted discount rate. Increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities can result from the passage of time, changes in discount rates, and changes in the timing, probabilities and amount of revenue estimates. No adjustment was made to the liability in the current quarter, and for the current nine month period we recorded a gain of $10.1 million to decrease the liability to its fair value. The reduction in fair value was primarily due to a decrease in forecasted revenues over the measurement period.
Impairment of Intangible Assets. As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, we recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $30.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The impairment charge was allocated to the Medical Aesthetics long-lived assets of which $4.4 million was written off to operating expenses.
Restructuring and Divestiture Charges. We have implemented various cost reduction initiatives to align our cost structure with our operations and related integration activities. These actions have primarily resulted in the termination of employees. As a result, we recorded charges of $3.6 million and $6.6 million in the current three and nine month periods, respectively, and $1.0 million and $4.8 million in the corresponding prior year periods, respectively, primarily related to severance benefits.

Interest expense consists primarily of the cash interest costs and the related amortization of the debt discount and deferred issuance costs on our outstanding debt. Interest expense in the current three and nine month periods decreased primarily due to a decrease in LIBOR year over year, the basis for determining interest expense under our 2018 Credit Agreement, lower interest rates on our Senior Notes due to issuing our 2029 Senior Notes and paying off our 2025 Senior Notes, and the pay-off of amounts outstanding under our accounts receivable asset securitization agreement in the prior year, partially offset by issuance costs expensed from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes and higher interest rate swap expenses.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2020, this account primarily consisted of a gain of $5.8 million on the cash surrender value of life insurance contracts, partially offset by net foreign currency exchange losses of $1.4 million, primarily from the mark-to-market and settling of outstanding forward foreign currency exchange and foreign currency option contracts.

For the current nine month period, this account primarily consisted of a gain of $12.2 million on the cash surrender value of life insurance contracts related to our deferred compensation plan, partially offset by net foreign currency exchange losses of $11.4 million, primarily from the mark-to-market and settling of outstanding forward foreign currency exchange and foreign currency option contracts. For the prior year corresponding nine month period, this account primarily consisted of net foreign currency exchange losses of $3.1 million primarily from mark-to-market of outstanding forward foreign currency and foreign currency option exchange contracts, partially offset by a net gain of $3.2 million to reflect an adjustment to remeasure our initial investment in SSI in connection with purchase accounting.

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 26, 2021 was a provision of 20.6% and 21.0%, respectively, compared to a provision of 19.0% and a net benefit of 60.3%, respectively, for the corresponding periods in the prior year.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 26, 2021 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the impact of the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income and the geographic mix of income earned by our international subsidiaries, which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate, and federal and state tax credits, partially offset by state income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 26, 2021 was equal to the U.S. statutory tax rate as the impact of the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income and the geographic mix of income earned by our international subsidiaries, which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate, were offset by state income taxes.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 27, 2020 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the geographic mix of income earned by our international subsidiaries which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate, including the impact of the U.S. tax imposed on global intangible low-taxed income and the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income, and reserve releases resulting from statute of limitations expirations, partially offset by unbenefited foreign losses. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 27, 2020 differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to a $312.8 million discrete net tax benefit related to the loss on the sale of the Medical Aesthetics business.

Segment Results of Operations
We operate in four segments: Diagnostics, Breast Health, GYN Surgical and Skeletal Health. Until December 30, 2019, our product portfolio included aesthetic and medical treatments systems sold by our former Medical Aesthetic business. We completed the disposition of the Medical Aesthetics segment on December 30, 2019 (the first day of the second quarter of fiscal 2020). The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2020. We measure segment performance based on total revenues and operating income (loss). Revenues from product sales of each of these segments are described in further detail above. The discussion that follows is a summary analysis of total revenues and the primary changes in operating income or loss by segment.

Diagnostics revenues increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the increase in product revenues from the recovery of our core product lines and current year acquisitions, and an increase in royalty revenue from Grifols related to licensing our intellectual property to our COVID-19 assays for their sale in Spain. In addition, revenues were higher in the current nine month period from the introduction of our SARS-CoV-2 assays in the prior year, however revenue from our COVID-19 assays were lower in the current three month period due to a decline in volume in the U.S. as discussed above,

Operating income for this business segment increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year due to an increase in gross profit from higher revenues, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. Gross margin was 62.5% and 74.9% in the current three and nine month periods, respectively, compared to 64.9% and 55.8% in the corresponding periods in the prior year, respectively. The increase in gross profit in the current three and nine month periods was primarily due to sales of our Aptima assays and ThinPrep Pap Test, partially offset by an increase in freight costs to ship product internationally, an increase in inventory reserves, higher field service costs and an increase in amortization of placed Panther instruments as the installed base has increased significantly year over year. In addition, gross profit in the current nine month period was higher due to sales volume of our SARS-CoV-2 assays, however, in the current three month period the increase in gross profit was partially offset by lower volumes of our SARS-CoV-2 assays.

Operating expenses increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to higher compensation and benefits driven by our deferred compensation plan and salary, an increase in headcount in the operations and sales departments, an increase in marketing initiatives, an increase in R&D project spend, a lower BARDA credit of $2.3 million in the current three month period, higher acquisition transaction expenses, which included $11.5 million for a transfer tax related to the Mobidiag acquisition, and additional expenses from the Biotheranostics and Diagenode acquisitions. In addition, in the current nine month period we had higher bad debt expense. These increases were partially offset by a higher BARDA credit of $5.4 million in the current nine month period, lower bonus expense and a decrease in spending for travel.

Breast Health revenues increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to an increase of $100.1 million and $110.9 million in product revenue, respectively, discussed above and an increase of $24.9 and $44.4 million in service revenue, respectively. The increase in service revenue in the current three and nine month periods was primarily due to an increase in service contract revenue as the Breast Health business continued to convert a high percentage of our installed base of digital mammography systems to service contracts upon expiration of the warranty period, the addition of service contracts from the NXC Imaging acquisition and an increase in spare parts revenue.

Operating income for this business segment increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to an increase in gross profit from higher product and service revenues, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. Gross margin was 56.9% in both the current three and nine month periods compared to 45.4% and 53.5% in the corresponding periods in the prior year, respectively. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the increase in product revenue and service revenue discussed above, partially offset by a charge of $2.3 million related to the impact of stepping-up the acquired inventory to fair value in purchase accounting for the Somatex acquisition. In addition, gross profit in the corresponding prior year periods was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in decreased sales volume across the majority of our product lines, period costs for temporary facility shut-downs and reduced manufacturing utilization and increased inventory reserves.

Operating expenses increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to higher compensation and benefits driven by higher commissions from increased sales and our deferred compensation plan, a $7.0 million charge related to the purchase of intellectual property in the current quarter, an increase in R&D project spend, an increase in marketing initiatives and an increase in consulting spend. These increases were partially offset by lower bonus expense, a decrease in travel, meetings, trade show expenses and bad debt expense. The increase in the current nine month period is also a result of the corresponding prior year period including a benefit from the reversal of acquisition related accruals and a holdback.

Gross margin was 62.5% and 61.6% in the current three and nine month periods, respectively, compared to 36.7% and 59.2% in the corresponding periods in the prior year, respectively. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the increased sales volume in the current year periods as the GYN Surgical business recovered to pre-COVID levels and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the prior year periods, which resulted in decreased sales volume across the majority of our product lines, period costs for temporary facility shut-downs and reduced manufacturing utilization and increased inventory reserves. The increase in gross margin was partially offset by unfavorable product mix discussed above and higher intangible asset amortization expense from the Acessa acquisition.
Operating expenses increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the inclusion in of Acessa expenses of $3.7 million and $11.6 million, respectively, increased spending on research and development projects, higher marketing initiative spend, higher consulting spend, higher compensation and benefits driven by our deferred compensation plan and higher commissions from the increase in sales, partially offset by a gain of $10.1 million in the current nine month period related to the fair value adjustments for contingent consideration related to the Acessa acquisition.

Medical Aesthetics revenue and operating loss decreased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year due to the divestiture of the Medical Aesthetics segment on December 30, 2019, the first day of our second quarter of fiscal 2020. The operating loss in fiscal 2020 included an intangible assets and equipment impairment charges of $30.2 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 26, 2021, we had $1,019.3 million of working capital and our cash and cash equivalents totaled $827.6 million. Our cash and cash equivalents balance increased by $126.6 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 primarily due to cash generated from operating activities, partially offset by cash used in investing and financing activities.
In the first nine months of fiscal 2021, our operating activities provided cash of $1,865.0 million, primarily due to net income of $1,540.9 million, non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization aggregating $289.1 million, stock-based compensation expense of $51.0 million, and a debt extinguishment loss of $21.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in deferred income taxes of $44.3 million primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets. Cash provided by operations was negatively impacted by a net cash outflow of $13.1 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities. The net cash outflow was primarily driven by a $82.4 million increase in inventory primarily due to an increase in Diagnostics inventory to support the SARS-CoV-2 assay demand and production as well as an increase in Breast Health to support the increase in mammography systems, a decrease in accrued expenses of $27.6 million primarily due to payments for federal income taxes and value-added tax payments, partially offset by an increase in accrued compensation and employee benefits, an increase in prepaid income taxes of $24.3 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $22.3 million primarily due to an increase in technology implementation costs and the timing of value-added tax receivables. These cash outflows were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $111.5 million primarily due to payments received from customers that had large balances from COVID-19 assay sales in our Diagnostics division and lower revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, and an increase in accounts payable of $9.4 million primarily due to the timing of payments.
In the first nine months of fiscal 2021, our investing activities used cash of $1,286.5 million primarily related to net cash paid for our fiscal 2021 acquisitions of Biotheranostics, Diagenode, Somatex and Mobidiag Oy of $1,163.3 million and net capital expenditures of $114.6 million, which primarily consisted of the placement of equipment under customer usage agreements and purchases of manufacturing equipment to expand capacity of our molecular diagnostics manufacturing facilities.
In the first nine months of fiscal 2021, our financing activities used cash of $447.8 million primarily related to $970.8 million for the repayment of our 2025 Senior Notes, $250.0 million for the net repayment of amounts borrowed under our revolving credit line, $409.7 million for repurchases of our common stock, $56.3 million for scheduled principal payments under our 2018 Credit Agreement and $46.9 million for the payment of employee taxes withheld for the net share settlement of vested restricted stock units. Partially offsetting these uses of cash were net proceeds of $950.0 million under our 2029 Senior Notes, $320.0 million of proceeds under the accounts receivable securitization agreement that we restarted in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 to partially fund the Mobidiag acquisition, and $39.6 million from our equity plans, primarily from the exercise of stock options.
Debt
We had total recorded debt outstanding of $3.12 billion at June 26, 2021, which was comprised of amounts outstanding under our 2018 Credit Agreement of $1.40 billion (principal of $1.41 billion), 2029 Senior Notes of $934.0 million (principal of $950.0 million), 2028 Senior Notes of $395.2 million (principal of $400.0 million), Securitization Program of $320.0 million, and $66.0 million in debt acquired in the Mobidiag acquisition.

2018 Credit Agreement
On December 17, 2018, we refinanced our term loan and revolving credit facility by entering into an Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement as of December 17, 2018 (the "2018 Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, and certain other lenders. The 2018 Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company's prior credit and guaranty agreement, amended and restated as of October 3, 2017 ("2017 Credit Agreement").

The credit facilities under the 2018 Credit Agreement consisted of:

A $1.5 billion secured term loan ("2018 Amended Term Loan") with a maturity date of December 17, 2023; and
A secured revolving credit facility (the "2018 Amended Revolver") under which the Company may borrow up to $1.5
billion, subject to certain sublimits, with a maturity date of December 17, 2023.
The borrowings of the 2018 Amended Term Loan bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Eurocurrency Rate (i.e., the LIBOR rate) plus an Applicable Rate, which was equal to 1.0% as of June 26, 2021. The borrowings of the 2018 Amended Revolver bear interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus an Applicable Rate equal to 1.0% as of June 26, 2021. At June 26, 2021, borrowings under the 2018 Amended Term Loan were subject to an interest rate of 1.11%.

We are required to make scheduled principal payments under the 2018 Amended Term Loan in increasing amounts ranging from $9.375 million per three-month period commencing with the three-month period ending on December 27, 2019 to $28.125 million per three-month period commencing with the three-month period ending on December 29, 2022 and ending on September 29, 2023. The remaining balance of the 2018 Amended Term Loan after the scheduled principal payments, which was $1.2 billion as of June 26, 2021, and any amount outstanding under the 2018 Amended Revolver are due at maturity. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2018 Credit Agreement, we may be required to make certain mandatory prepayments from the net proceeds of specified types of asset sales (subject to certain reinvestment rights), debt issuances and insurance recoveries (subject to certain reinvestment rights). These mandatory prepayments are required to be applied by us, first, to the 2018 Amended Term Loan, second, to any outstanding amount under any Swing Line Loans, third, to the 2018 Amended Revolver, fourth to prepay any outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit and fifth, to cash collateralize any Letters of Credit. Subject to certain limitations, the Company may voluntarily prepay any of the 2018 Credit Facilities without premium or penalty.
Borrowings are secured by first-priority liens on, and a first-priority security interest in, substantially all of the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries, with certain exceptions. For example, borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement are not secured by those accounts receivable that are transferred to the special purpose entity under a qualifying accounts receivable securitization program.
The 2018 Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily applicable to senior secured credit facilities, including covenants restricting our ability, subject to negotiated exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and grant additional liens on its assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or dispose of assets, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, pay dividends or make other distributions, voluntarily prepay other indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliated persons, make investments, and change the nature of their businesses. In addition, the 2018 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain certain financial ratios. The 2018 Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and events of default, including payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross defaults and an event of default upon a change of control of the company.

The 2018 Credit Agreement contains two financial covenants (a total net leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio) measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of June 26, 2021, we were in compliance with these covenants.
The UK Financial Conduct Authority announced in 2017 that it intended to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021, which has been extended to June 30, 2023. If changes are made to the method of calculating LIBOR or LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to amend certain contracts, including our 2018 Credit Agreement, and we cannot predict what alternative rate or benchmark would be negotiated or the extent to which this would adversely affect our interest rate and the effectiveness of our interest rate hedging activity.

2028 Senior Notes

The total aggregate principal balance of the 2028 Senior Notes is $400.0 million. The 2028 Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The 2028 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 19, 2018, among the
51


Company, the guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The 2028 Senior Notes mature on February 1, 2028 and bear interest at the rate of 4.625% per year, payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. We may redeem the 2028 Senior Notes at any time prior to February 1, 2023 at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date and a make-whole premium set forth in the indenture. We may also redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at any time and from time to time before February 1, 2021, at a redemption price equal to 104.625% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. We also have the option to redeem the 2028 Senior Notes on or after: February 1, 2023 through February 1, 2024 at 102.312% of par; February 1, 2024 through February 1, 2025 at 101.541% of par; February 1, 2025 through February 1, 2026 at 100.770% of par; and February 1, 2026 and thereafter at 100% of par. In addition, if there is a change of control coupled with a decline in ratings, as provided in the indenture, we will be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s 2028 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.
2029 Senior Notes

The total aggregate principal balance of the 2029 Senior Notes is $950.0 million. The 2029 Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain domestic subsidiaries. The 2029 Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2029 and bear interest at the rate of 3.250% per year, payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2021. We may redeem the 2029 Senior Notes at any time prior to September 28, 2023 at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date and a make-whole premium set forth in the indenture. We may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at any time and from time to time before September 28, 2023, at a redemption price equal to 103.250% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. We have the option to redeem the 2029 Senior Notes on or after: September 28, 2023 through September 27, 2024 at 101.625% of par; September 28, 2024 through September 27, 2025 at 100.813% of par; and September 28, 2025 and thereafter at 100% of par. In addition, if there is a change of control coupled with a decline in ratings, as provided in the indenture, we will be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s 2029 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

On April 25, 2016, we entered into a one-year accounts receivable securitization program (the "Securitization Program") with several of our wholly owned subsidiaries and certain financial institutions. The Securitization Program provides for annual renewals. Under the terms of the Securitization Program, we and certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries sell our customer receivables to a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, which is wholly-owned by us. The special purpose entity, as borrower, and we, as servicer, have entered into a Credit and Security Agreement with several lenders pursuant to which the special purpose entity may borrow from the lenders up to the maximum borrowing amount allowed, with the loans secured by the receivables. The amount that the special purpose entity may borrow at a given point in time is determined based on the amount of qualifying receivables that are present in the special purpose entity at such point in time. The assets of the special purpose entity secure the amounts borrowed and cannot be used to pay our other debts or liabilities.

In response to the market uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 26, 2020, we paid-off the total amount outstanding of $250.0 million previously borrowed. On April 13, 2020, we amended the Credit and Security agreement with the lenders, temporarily suspending the ability to borrow and the need to comply with covenants for up to a year. On June 11, 2021, we amended and restated the Credit and Security agreement to restart the Securitization Program and increase the maximum borrowing amount to $320.0 million. Loans outstanding under the Securitization Program bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin for defined tranches. As of June 26, 2021, there was $320.0 million outstanding under this program. The weighted average interest rate under the Securitization Program was 0.78% as of June 26, 2021.

Contingent Consideration Earn-Out Payments

In connection with certain of our acquisitions, we have incurred the obligation to make contingent earn-out payments tied to performance criteria, principally revenue growth of the acquired business over a specified period. In addition, contractual provisions relating to these contingent earn-out obligations may result in the risk of litigation relating to the calculation of the amount due or our operation of the acquired business. Such litigation could be expensive and divert management attention and resources. Our obligation to make contingent payments may also result in significant operating expenses.

52


Contingent consideration arrangements are recorded as either additional purchase price or compensation expense if continuing employment is required to receive such payments. Pursuant to ASC 805, contingent consideration that is deemed to be part of the purchase price is recorded as a liability based on the estimated fair value of the consideration we expect to pay to the former shareholders of the acquired business as of the acquisition date. This liability is re-measured each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded through a separate line item within our Consolidated Statements of Income. Increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities can result from changes in discount rates, changes in the timing, probabilities and amount of revenue estimates, and accretion of the liability for the passage of time.

Our primary contingent consideration liability is from our Acessa acquisition. We have an obligation to the former Acessa shareholders to make contingent payments based on a multiple of annual incremental revenue growth over a three-year period ending annually in December. There is no maximum earnout. Pursuant to ASC 805, the contingent consideration was deemed to be part of the purchase price, and we recorded our estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration liability utilizing the Monte Carlo simulation based on future revenue projections of the business, comparable companies revenue growth rates, implied volatility and applying a risk adjusted discount rate. At June 26, 2021 this liability was recorded at its fair value of $71.7 million, and no contingent payments have been earned or made.

Stock Repurchase Program
On December 9, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized a new five-year share repurchase plan, to purchase up to $1.0 billion of our outstanding common stock. The prior plan was terminated in connection with this new authorization. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we repurchased 3.0 million shares of our common stock for a total consideration of $188.4 million. As of June 26, 2021, $691.6 million remained available under this authorization.

Legal Contingencies
We are currently involved in several legal proceedings and claims. In connection with these legal proceedings and claims, management periodically reviews estimates of potential costs to be incurred by us in connection with the adjudication or settlement, if any, of these proceedings. These estimates are developed, as applicable in consultation with outside counsel, and are based on an analysis of potential litigation outcomes and settlement strategies. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, loss contingencies are accrued if, in the opinion of management, an adverse outcome is probable and such financial outcome can be reasonably estimated. It is possible that future results for any particular quarter or annual period may be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies relating to these proceedings. Information with respect to this disclosure may be found in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Future Liquidity Considerations

We expect to continue to review and evaluate potential strategic transactions that we believe will complement our current or future business. Subject to the “Risk Factors” set forth in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report, if any, as well as those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2020 or any other of our subsequently filed reports, and the general disclaimers set forth in our Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements at the outset of this MD&A, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and the cash available under our 2018 Amended Revolver will provide us with sufficient funds in order to fund our expected normal operations and debt payments over the next twelve months. Our longer-term liquidity is contingent upon future operating performance. We may also require additional capital in the future to fund capital expenditures, repayment of debt, acquisitions, strategic transactions or other investments. As described above, we have significant indebtedness outstanding under our 2018 Credit Agreement, 2028 Senior Notes, 2029 Senior Notes and Securitization Program. These capital requirements could be substantial. For a description of risks to our operating performance and our indebtedness, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2020.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition for multiple element arrangements, allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, valuations, purchase price allocations and contingent consideration related to business combinations, expected future cash flows including growth rates, discount rates, terminal
53

values and other assumptions used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, estimated fair values of intangible assets and goodwill, amortization methods and periods, warranty reserves, certain accrued expenses, restructuring and other related charges, stock-based compensation, contingent liabilities, tax reserves and recoverability of our net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate. Any differences may have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. For a discussion of how these and other factors may affect our business, see the “Cautionary Statement” above and “Risk Factors” set forth in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report as well as those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2020 or any other of our subsequently filed reports.
The critical accounting estimates that we believe affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements presented in this report are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2020. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2020.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments, and Derivative Commodity Instruments. Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, equity investments, foreign currency derivative (forward or option) contracts, interest rate swap agreements, insurance contracts, accounts payable and debt obligations. Except for our outstanding 2028 Senior Notes and 2029 Senior Notes, the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amount. The fair value of our 2028 Senior Notes and 2029 Senior Notes as of June 26, 2021 was $420.8 million and $940.0 million, respectively. Amounts outstanding under our 2018 Credit Agreement of $1.4 billion and Securitization Program of $320.0 million as of June 26, 2021 are subject to variable rates of interest based on current market rates, and as such, we believe the carrying amount of these obligations approximates fair value.
Primary Market Risk Exposures. Our primary market risk exposure is in the areas of interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. We incur interest expense on borrowings outstanding under our 2028 Senior Notes, 2029 Senior Notes, 2018 Credit Agreement and Securitization Program. The 2028 Senior Notes and 2029 Senior Notes have fixed interest rates. Borrowings under our 2018 Credit Agreement currently bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate (i.e., LIBOR) plus the applicable margin of 1.0% per annum, and borrowings under our Securitization Program bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.70% per annum.
As noted above, as of June 26, 2021, there was $1.4 billion of aggregate principal outstanding under the 2018 Credit Agreement and $320.0 million outstanding under the Securitization Program. Since these debt obligations are variable rate instruments, our interest expense associated with these instruments is subject to change. A hypothetical 10% adverse movement (increase in LIBOR rate) would increase annual interest expense by approximately $0.1 million. We entered into an interest rate swap agreement to help mitigate the interest rate volatility associated with the variable rate interest on the amounts outstanding under the 2018 Credit Agreement. The critical terms of the interest rate swap were designed to mirror the terms of our LIBOR-based borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement, and therefore the interest rate swap is highly effective at offsetting the cash flows being hedged. We designated this derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the LIBOR-based interest payments on $1.0 billion of principal. These interest rate swap contract expires on December 17, 2023.
The UK Financial Conduct Authority announced in 2017 that it intended to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021, which was recently extended to the end of 2023. If changes are made to the method of calculating LIBOR or LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to amend certain contracts, including our 2018 Credit Agreement and related interest rate swap agreements, and we cannot predict what alternative rate or benchmark would be negotiated or the extent to which this would adversely affect our interest rate and the effectiveness of our interest rate hedging activity.
The return from cash and cash equivalents will vary as short-term interest rates change. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates, however, would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. Our international business is subject to risks, including, but not limited to: unique economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign
54

exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.

We conduct business worldwide and maintain sales and service offices outside the United States as well as manufacturing facilities in Costa Rica and the United Kingdom. Our international sales are denominated in a number of currencies, primarily the Euro, U.S. dollar, UK Pound and Renminbi. The majority of our foreign subsidiaries' functional currency is the local currency, although certain foreign subsidiaries functional currency is the U.S. dollar based on the nature of their operations or functions. Our revenues denominated in foreign currencies are positively affected when the U.S. dollar weakens against them and adversely affected when the U.S. dollar strengthens. Fluctuations in foreign currency rates could affect our sales, cost of goods and operating margins and could result in exchange losses. In addition, currency devaluations can result in a loss if we hold deposits of that currency. We have executed forward foreign currency contracts and foreign currency option contracts to hedge a portion of results denominated in the Euro, UK Pound, Australian dollar, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan and Canadian dollar. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, we may experience volatility in our Consolidated Statements of Income due to (i) the impact of unrealized gains and losses reported in other income (expense), net from the mark-to-market of outstanding contracts and (ii) realized gains and losses recognized in other income (expense), net, whereas the offsetting economic gains and losses are reported in the line item of the underlying cash flow, for example, revenue.
We believe that the operating expenses of our international subsidiaries that are incurred in local currencies will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Our operating results and certain assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are affected by changes in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar against those currencies. Our expenses, denominated in foreign currencies, are positively affected when the U.S. dollar strengthens against them and adversely affected when the U.S. dollar weakens. However, we believe that the foreign currency exchange risk is not significant. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in foreign currencies in which we transact would not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of June 26, 2021, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 26, 2021.
An evaluation was also performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. That evaluation did not identify any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our latest fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

SEVERANCE AND
CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT

    CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT by and between HOLOGIC, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Elisabeth (Lisa) A. Hellmann (the "Executive"), dated as of June 28, 2021.

    WHEREAS, the Executive serves as a senior executive of the Company;

    WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication of the Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat, or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company. The Board believes it is imperative to diminish the inevitable distraction of the Executive by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks created by a pending or threatened Change of Control and to encourage the Executive's full attention and dedication to the Company currently and in the event of any threatened or pending Change of Control, and to provide the Executive with compensation and benefits arrangements upon a Change of Control which ensure that the compensation and benefits expectations of the Executive will be satisfied and which are competitive with those of other corporations;

    WHEREAS, in recognition of the Executive’s role, the Company and Executive now desire to enter into this Severance and Change of Control Agreement, which is consistent with the change of control and severance protection provided to the Company’s most senior officers (the “Agreement”); and

    WHEREAS, this Agreement shall supersede and replace any existing or previous Change of Control Agreement Severance Agreement, and benefits provided under any such existing agreements or Company policies.

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:




1.Certain Definitions.

    (a)    The "Effective Date" shall be the first date during the "Change of Control Period" (as defined in Section 1(b)) on which a Change of Control occurs. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated or the Executive ceases to be an officer of the Company prior to the date on which a Change of Control occurs, and it is reasonably demonstrated that such termination of employment (1) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect the Change of Control or (2) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of the Change of Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the "Effective Date" shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment. If prior to the Effective Date, the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, then the Executive shall have no further rights under this Agreement, except with respect to benefits under Section 6(e), if applicable, or unless such termination of Employment was in anticipation of the Change of Control in which case the termination shall be deemed to have occurred after the consummation of the Change of Control.



    (b)    The "Change of Control Period" is the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on December 31, 2023; provided, that commencing on December 31, 2023 and each December 31 thereafter (each such date to be referred to as the “Renewal Date”), the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended, without any further action by the Company or the Executive, so as to terminate three years from such Renewal Date; provided, however that if the Company shall give notice in writing to the Executive at least thirty (30) days prior to a Renewal Date (the “Pending Renewal Date”), stating that the Change of Control Period shall not be extended, then the Change of Control Period shall expire two years from the Pending Renewal Date.

2.Change of Control. For the purpose of this Agreement, a "Change of Control" shall mean:

    (a)    The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 30% or more of the Voting Stock of the Company; provided, however, that any acquisition by the Company or its subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or its subsidiaries of 30% or more of Voting Stock shall not constitute a Change in Control; and provided, further, that any acquisition by a corporation with respect to which, following such acquisition, more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such corporation, is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the Voting Stock immediately prior to such acquisition in substantially the same proportion as their ownership, immediately prior to such acquisition, of the Voting Stock, shall not constitute a Change in Control; or

    (b)    Any transaction which results in the Continuing Directors (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company) constituting less than a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”); or

    (c)    The consummation of (i) a Merger with respect to which all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the Voting Stock immediately prior to such Merger do not, following such Merger, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the corporation resulting from the Merger (the “Resulting Corporation”) as a result of the individuals’ and entities’ shareholdings in the Company immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, (ii) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (iii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all (as defined under Delaware General Corporation Law) of the assets of the Company excluding a sale or other disposition of assets to a subsidiary of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement “Merger” means a reorganization, merger or consolidation involving the Company, including without limitation as a parent of a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company effecting such transaction.

    Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if an event that would, but for this paragraph, constitute a Change of Control results from or arises out of a purchase or other acquisition of the Company, directly or indirectly, by a corporation or other entity in which the



Executive has a greater than ten percent (10%) direct or indirect equity interest, such event shall not constitute a Change of Control.

3.Employment Period. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company hereby agrees to continue the Executive in its employ, and the Executive hereby agrees to remain in the employ of the Company, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the last day of the thirty-sixth month following the month in which the Effective Date occurs (the "Employment Period").

4.Terms of Employment.

    (a)    Position and Duties.

        (i)    During the Employment Period, (A) the Executive's position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties and responsibilities shall be at least commensurate in all material respects with the most significant of those held, exercised and assigned at any time during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date and (B) the Executive's services shall be performed at the location where the Executive was employed immediately preceding the Effective Date or any office or location less than 35 miles from such location.

        (ii)    During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive agrees to devote her full business time to the business and affairs of the Company and, to the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities assigned to the Executive hereunder, to use the Executive's reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities. During the Employment Period it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions and (C) manage personal investments, so long as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of the Executive's responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that any such activities have been conducted by the Executive prior to the Effective Date, the continued conduct of such activities (or the conduct of activities similar in nature and scope thereto) subsequent to the Effective Date.




    (b)    Compensation.

        (i)    Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall receive an annual base salary ("Annual Base Salary"), which shall be paid monthly, having a value at least equal to twelve times the highest monthly base salary paid or payable to the Executive by the Company and its affiliated companies in respect of the twelve-month period immediately preceding the month in which the Effective Date occurs. During the Employment Period, the Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually and shall be increased at any time and from time to time as shall be substantially consistent with increases in base salary awarded in the ordinary course of business to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies. Any increase in Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to the Executive under this Agreement. Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced after any such increase and the term Annual Base Salary as utilized in this Agreement shall refer to Annual Base Salary as so increased. As used in this Agreement, the term "affiliated companies" includes any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company.




        (ii)    Annual Bonus. In addition to Annual Base Salary, the Executive shall be awarded, for each fiscal year during the Employment Period, an annual cash bonus (the "Annual Bonus"; which shall include, without limitation, any other annual cash bonus plan or program provided to Executive such as the Short Term Incentive Plan or any other similar plan, but shall not include any cash sign-on, relocation, retention or other special bonus or payments. ) in cash at least equal to the greater of (a) the average (annualized for any fiscal year consisting of less than twelve full months or with respect to which the Executive has been employed by the Company for less than twelve full months) bonus (the "Average Annual Bonus") paid or that has been earned and accrued, but unpaid to the Executive by the Company and its affiliated companies in respect of the three fiscal years immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the Effective Date occurs, (b) the Annual Bonus paid for the fiscal year immediately preceding the Effective Date, or (c) the target bonus associated with the Company achieving its 100 percent target payout level as determined in accordance with the terms of the Company’s bonus plans for senior executives for the fiscal year immediately preceding the Effective Date (the “Target Bonus”; the greater of clauses (a), (b) or to be referred to as the “Highest Annual Bonus”); for the avoidance of doubt, the determination of bonus under clause (c) above shall not be reduced for the application of the Compensation Committee’s discretion to reduce such bonus or bonus funding, or increased to reflect additional amounts that may be paid or payable if the Company exceeds target. Each such Annual Bonus shall be paid no later than the 15th day of the third month of the fiscal year next following the fiscal year for which the Annual Bonus is awarded, unless the Executive shall elect to defer the receipt of such Annual Bonus pursuant to any nonqualified plan of the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any portion of Annual Base Salary or Annual Bonus electively deferred by the Executive pursuant to a qualified or a non-qualified plan including, but not limited to, the Hologic, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan or any successor thereto (“DCP”) shall be included in determining the Annual Base Salary, Annual Bonus and the Average Annual Bonus. If the fiscal year of any successor to this Agreement, as described by Section 11(c) herein, is different than the Company’s fiscal year at the time of the Change of Control, then the Executive shall be paid (i) the Annual Bonus that would have been paid upon the end of Company’s fiscal year ending after the Change of Control, and (ii) a pro-rata Annual Bonus for any months of service performed following the end of the Company’s fiscal year, but prior to the first day of the successor’s fiscal year immediately following the Change of Control. The Annual Bonuses thereafter shall be based on the successor’s first full fiscal year beginning after the Change of Control and successive fiscal years thereafter. “Pro Rata Bonus" shall mean an amount equal to the Bonus Amount (average of the Annual Bonuses paid or that has been earned and accrued, but unpaid during the three full fiscal years ended prior to the Date of Termination) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of months worked in the fiscal year through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is 12. Any partial months shall be rounded to the nearest whole number using normal mathematical convention.



        (iii)    Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans. In addition to Annual Base Salary and Annual Bonus payable as hereinabove provided, the Executive shall be entitled to participate during the Employment Period in all incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs applicable to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event shall such plans practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with incentive, savings and retirement benefits opportunities, in each case, less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of those provided by the Company and its affiliated companies for the Executive under such plans, practices, policies and programs as in effect at any time during the one-year immediately preceding the Effective Date, or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.

        (iv)    Welfare Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, the Executive and/or the Executive's family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in and shall receive all benefits under welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company and its affiliated companies (including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, salary continuance, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) and applicable to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide benefits which are less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of such plans, practices, policies and programs in effect at any time during the one-year period immediately preceding the Effective Date, or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.

        (v)    Expenses. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive upon submission of appropriate accountings in accordance with the most favorable policies, practices and procedures of the Company and its affiliated companies in effect at any time during the one-year period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.

        (vi)    Fringe Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to fringe benefits in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs and policies of the Company and its affiliated companies in effect at any time during the one-year period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.

        (vii)    Office and Support Staff. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to an office or offices of a size and with furnishings and other appointments, and to exclusive personal secretarial and other assistance, at least equal to the most favorable of the foregoing provided to the Executive by the Company and its affiliated companies at any time during the one-year period immediately preceding the Effective Date



or, if more favorable to the Executive, as provided at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.

        (viii)    Vacation. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation of at least five (5) weeks and in accordance with the most favorable plans, policies, programs and practices of the Company and its affiliated companies as in effect at any time during the one-year period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to other peer incentives of the Company and its affiliated companies.

5.Termination of Employment.

    (a)    Death or Disability. The Executive's employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive's death during the Employment Period. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of "Disability" set forth below), it may give to the Executive written notice in accordance with Section 13(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive's employment. In such event, the Executive's employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the "Disability Effective Date"), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive's duties. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" means the absence of the Executive from the Executive's duties with the Company on a full-time basis for 180 consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the Executive's legal representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be withheld unreasonably).

    (b)    Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment during the Employment Period for "Cause". For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means (i) an act or acts of personal dishonesty taken by the Executive and intended to result in substantial personal enrichment of the Executive at the expense of the Company, (ii) repeated violations by the Executive of the Executive's obligations under Section 4(a) of this Agreement (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness) which are demonstrably willful and deliberate on the Executive's part, which are committed in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such violations are in the best interests of the Company and which are not remedied in a reasonable period of time after receipt of written notice from the Company or (iii) the conviction of the Executive of a felony involving moral turpitude. The Company shall provide the Executive with 30 days written notice of any determination of Cause and provide the Executive, for a period of 30 days following such notice, with the opportunity to appear before the Board, with or without legal representation, to present arguments and evidence on her behalf and following such presentation to the Board, the Executive may only be terminated for Cause if the Board (excluding the Executive if she is a member of the Board), by unanimous consent reasonably determines in good faith that her actions did, in fact, constitute for Cause.
    (c)    Good Reason. The Executive's employment may be terminated during the Employment Period by the Executive for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" means:




        (i)    A material diminution in the Executive’s base compensation;

        (ii)    A material diminution in the Executive’s authority, duties and responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control or, if applicable, the Date of Termination;
        (iii)    A material diminution in the authority, duties and responsibilities of the supervisor to whom the Executive is required to report as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control or, if applicable, the Date of Termination;

        (iv)    A material change in the geographic location in which Executive’s principal office was located immediately prior to the Change of Control or, if applicable, the Date of Termination;

        (v)    A material diminution in the budget over which the Executive had authority immediately prior to the of the Change of Control or, if applicable, the Date of Termination;

        (vi)    Any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company of this Agreement or any other agreement under which the Executive provides services;

provided, however, that Good Reason shall not exist unless the Executive has given written notice to the Company within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the Good Reason event or condition(s) giving specific details regarding the event or condition; and unless the Company has had at least thirty (30) days to cure such Good Reason event or condition after the delivery of such written notice and has failed to cure such event or condition within such thirty (30) day cure period.

    (d)    Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 13(b) of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than fifteen days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive's or the Company’s rights hereunder.

    (e)    Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" means the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date (taking into account any applicable notice and cure period) specified therein, as the case may be; provided however, that (i) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company notifies the Executive of such termination, and (ii) if the



Executive's employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be.

6.Obligations of the Company upon Termination.

    (a)    Death. If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of the Executive's death during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive's legal representatives under this Agreement, other than for (i) payment of the sum of the following amounts: (A) the Executive's Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid, (B) the product of (I) the Highest Annual Bonus and (II) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365, and (C) any accrued and unpaid Annual Bonus amounts, compensation or vacation pay, in each case, to the extent not yet paid by the Company (the amounts described in subparagraphs (A), (B) and (C) are hereafter referred to as "Accrued Obligations" and shall be paid to the Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination), (ii) any other benefits or compensation payable under any employee benefit plan in accordance with the applicable plans’ terms, including, without limitation, any non-qualified plan or DCP; (iii) for the remainder of the Employment Period, or such longer period as any plan, program, practice or policy may provide, the Company shall continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive's family at least equal to those which would have been provided in accordance with the applicable plans, programs, practices and policies described in Section 4(b)(v) and (vi) of this Agreement as if the Executive's employment had not been terminated in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs or policies of the Company and its affiliated companies as in effect and applicable generally to other peer executives and their families during the one year period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies and their families (such continuation of such benefits for the applicable period herein set forth and such transfer of the Individual Policy shall be hereinafter referred to as “Welfare Benefit Continuation”; for purposes of determining eligibility of the Executive for retiree benefits pursuant to such plans, practices, programs and policies, the Executive shall be considered to have remained employed until the end of the Employment Period and to have retired on the last day of such period), and (iv) payment to the Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination of an amount equal to the sum of the Executive’s Annual Base Salary and the Highest Annual Bonus.

    (b)    Disability. If the Executive's employment is terminated by reason of the Executive's Disability during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for (i) payment of the Accrued Obligations (which shall be



paid in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination), (ii) the timely payment and provision of the Welfare Benefit Continuation, and (iii) payment to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination of an amount equal to the sum of the Executive’s Annual Base Salary and the Highest Annual Bonus.

    (c)    Cause, Other than for Good Reason. If the Executive's employment shall be terminated by the Company for Cause or by the Executive other than for Good Reason (and other than by reason of her death or disability) during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive other than the obligation to pay to the Executive Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination. In such case, such amounts shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination. The Executive shall, in such event, also be entitled to any benefits required by law that are not otherwise provided by this Agreement.

    (d)    Termination Following a Change of Control by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason. If during the Employment Period the Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause or she resigns for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay the Executive the following:

        (i)    the Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination all Accrued Obligations; and

        (ii)    the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum amount in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination equal to the (such amount shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Change of Control Payment”) to the product of (X) two point ninety nine (2.99) multiplied by the sum of (i) (Y) the Annual Base Salary for the fiscal year immediately preceding the Date of Termination and (ii) Highest Annual Bonus; and

        (iii)    notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary contained herein or in any option agreement, restricted stock agreement, performance stock unit or other equity compensation agreement, between the Company and the Executive, or any stock option, restricted stock or other equity compensation plans sponsored by the Company, unless such agreement or plan expressly references and supersedes this Agreement, then all such unvested equity awards which Executive holds as of the Effective Date shall be immediately and automatically exercisable and/or vested, and the Executive shall have the right to exercise any such equity awards (to the extent applicable) for the shorter of one year after the Date of Termination or the remaining term of the applicable equity award.




    (e)    Termination by the Company Without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason. If the Executive's employment with the Company shall be terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined in Section 5(c) without regard to whether a Change of Control has occurred) at any time prior to the Effective Date, then the Executive shall be entitled to each and all of the following:

        (i)    the Company shall pay the Executive all Accrued Obligations;

        (ii)    the Company shall continue to pay the Executive her Base Salary and an amount equal to the Average Annual Bonus divided by the number of payroll periods during the one year severance period for the period of one (1) year from the Date of Termination in accordance with its normal payroll practices and subject to applicable tax withholding; and

        (iii)    provide the Executive and her family with the Welfare Benefit Continuation for a period of one (1) year from the Date of Termination.

    (f)    Mitigation. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise and no such payment shall be offset or reduced by the amount of any compensation or benefits provided to the Executive in any subsequent employment.

    (g)    Other Severance Benefits. The severance pay and benefits provided for in Section 6(e) shall be in lieu of any other severance or termination pay to which the Executive may be entitled under any Company severance or termination plan, program, practice or arrangement. The Executive's entitlement to any other compensation or benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Company's employee benefit plans and other applicable programs, policies and practices then in effect.

7.Non-exclusivity of Rights. Except as provided in Section 6, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plans, programs, policies or practices, provided by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any other agreements with the Company or any of its affiliated companies. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

8.Full Settlement.

    (a)    The Company's obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the



provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment.

    (b)    Prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company agrees to reimburse the Executive for all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest by the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof, if the Executive prevails in such contest. Following a Change of Control, the Company agrees to pay promptly as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof.

    (c)    If there shall be any dispute between the Company and the Executive (i) in the event of any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company, whether such termination was for Cause, or (ii) in the event of any termination of employment by the Executive, whether Good Reason existed, then, unless and until there is a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction declaring that such termination was for Cause or that the determination by the Executive of the existence of Good Reason was not made in good faith, the Company shall pay all amounts, and provide all benefits, to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family or other beneficiaries, as the case may be, that the Company would be required to pay or provide pursuant to Section 6(d) as though such termination were by the Company without Cause, or by the Executive with Good Reason; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any disputed amount pursuant to this paragraph except upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Executive to repay all such amounts to which the Executive is ultimately adjudged by such court not to be entitled.

9.280G Protection.

    (a)    In the event that the Executive shall become entitled to payment and/or benefits provided by this Agreement or any other amounts in the “nature of compensation” (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a change of ownership or effective control covered by Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) as a result of such change in ownership or effective control (collectively the “Company Payments”), and such Company Payments will be subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (and any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed by any taxing authority) the Company shall pay to the Executive the greater of the following, whichever gives the Executive the highest net after-tax amount (after taking into account federal, state, local and social security taxes at the maximum marginal rates) (x) the Company Payments or (y) one dollar less than the amount of the Company Payments that would subject the Executive to the Excise Tax. In the event that the Company Payments are required to be reduced pursuant to the foregoing sentence, then the Company Payments shall be reduced as mutually agreed between the Company and the Executive or, in the event the parties cannot agree, in the following order (1) any lump sum severance based on Base Salary or Annual Bonus, (2) any other cash amounts payable to the Executive, (3) any benefits valued as parachute payments; and (4) acceleration of vesting of any equity.




    (b)    For purposes of determining whether any of the Company Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (x) the Company Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the “base amount” (as defined under Code Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless and except to the extent that, in the opinion of the Company’s independent certified public accountants appointed prior to any change in ownership (as defined under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) or tax counsel selected by such accountants or the Company (the “Accountants”) such Company Payments (in whole or in part) either expressly do not constitute “parachute payments,” represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess of the “base amount” or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (y) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Accountants. All determinations hereunder shall be made by the Accountants which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive at such time as it is requested by the Company or the Executive. If the Accountants determine that payments under this Agreement must be reduced pursuant to this paragraph, they shall furnish the Executive with a written opinion to such effect. The determination of the Accountants shall be final and binding upon the Company and the Executive.
    (c)    In the event of any controversy with the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing authority) with regard to the Excise Tax, the Executive shall permit the Company to control issues related to the Excise Tax (at its expense), provided that such issues do not potentially materially adversely affect the Executive, but the Executive shall control any other issues. In the event the issues are interrelated, the Executive and the Company shall in good faith cooperate so as not to jeopardize resolution of either issue, but if the parties cannot agree the Executive shall make the final determination with regard to the issues. In the event of any conference with any taxing authority regarding the Excise Tax or associated income taxes, the Executive shall permit the representative of the Company to accompany the Executive, and the Executive and the Executive’s representative shall cooperate with the Company and its representative.

10.Confidential Information. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive's employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement). After termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 10 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.

11.Successors.

    (a)    This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent



and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's legal representatives.

    (b)    This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

    WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings provided in the Severance Agreement;

    WHEREAS, the Company has notified the Executive that it intends to terminate the Executive’s employment with the Company without Cause; and

Nothing herein shall preclude the Executive from resigning or the Company from terminating the Executive from any positions prior to the Transition Date.
        (b)    Duties. Prior to the Transition Date, the Executive shall continue to serve as Senior Vice President, Human Resources of the Company, with all the responsibilities and duties associated with such position.

        (c)    Compensation. From the date hereof until the Transition Date, unless the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated earlier, pursuant to Section 2(b) below, (i) the Executive shall be entitled to continue to receive base salary at a rate equal to her current Annual Base Salary, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices; (ii) as



applicable, the Executive’s outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units, if any, will continue to vest in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable equity incentive plans and award agreements; and (iii) the Executive shall be entitled to participate in any and all retirement (both qualified and non-qualified), vacation and/or sick pay, medical, dental, life insurance and other employee benefit plans in which she currently participates, all to the extent the Executive remains eligible under the terms of such plans and subject to the terms and conditions of such plans as may be in effect from time to time, including (without limitation) the Company’s car allowance program. On the Transition Date, the Executive will receive her final paycheck with accrued and unpaid pay through that date as well as accrued and unpaid vacation time and payment of all outstanding business expense reimbursements according to Company policy.

2.Separation Benefits.

        (a)    Separation Benefits. As a consequence of the termination of the Executive’s employment as contemplated herein and in full discharge of the Company’s obligations due to the Executive thereunder, the Company shall pay to the Executive or her heirs or estate, if applicable, subject to the Executive executing this Agreement and executing the Release Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) within twenty-one (21) days of the Transition Date and the Release becoming effective and irrevocable in accordance with its terms (the “Severance Amount”): (i) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary for twelve (12) months following the Transition Date, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices; (ii) the Executive’s Average Annual Bonus, payable in lump sum; (iii) an amount equal to the product of (A) the Highest Annual Bonus and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Transition Date, and the denominator of which is 365, payable in lump sum; and (iv) a cash payment in lieu of Welfare Benefit Continuation to the Executive and her family for twelve (12) months following the Transition Date, payable in lump sum.

Payments relating to the preceding subsections (i) through (iv) shall commence (or be paid in full, with respect to lump sum payments) on the first regular payroll period that follows the expiration of the Release Agreement revocation period (the “Payment Commencement Date”); provided, that any payments relating the preceding subsection (i) for payroll periods occurring after the Transition Date and prior to the Payment Commencement Date shall be made on the Payment Commencement Date, without interest. The payments under this Section 2 are subject to applicable withholding and taxes.

        (b)    Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Executive is terminated by the Company for Cause at any time prior to the Transition Date, then the Executive shall not be entitled to receive any further payments or benefits under this Agreement and the Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement, except to the extent required by law.

4.Non-Competition Agreement.

Company agrees that it will not oppose any application for unemployment benefits submitted by the Executive.

6.Successors: Binding Agreement.

        (a)    This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, and its successors and assigns, and the Company shall require any successors and assigns to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place.

        (c)    Entire Agreement; Amendment. The recitals hereto are hereby incorporated herein by this reference. This Agreement, together with the exhibits hereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof and thereof, superseding all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, including, without limitation, the Severance Agreement; provided, however, that any indemnification agreement and any outstanding vested equity award agreements (including, without limitation, any outstanding vested option agreement, restricted stock unit agreement, performance stock unit agreement, market stock unit agreement or other equity instrument by and between the Company and the Executive), the Non-Competition Agreement and Section 10 of the Severance Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms and conditions herein and therein.

The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, delay payments hereunder or make such other modifications with respect to the timing of payments as it deems necessary to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event any payment or benefit hereunder is determined to constitute non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, then to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, such payment or benefits shall not be made, provided or commenced until six (6) months after the Executive’s “separation from service” as such phrase is defined for the purposes of Section 409A.

        (g)    Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and the invalidity of any provision shall not affect the validity of any other provision. In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is unenforceable because of the duration or scope thereof, the parties hereto agree that said court in making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and scope of such provision to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and that the Agreement in its reduced form shall be valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.

        (h)    Governing Law/Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Executive and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and interest and assigns, and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to conflicts of laws. The parties hereto intend and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained herein upon the state and federal courts sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In the event that such courts shall hold any such covenant wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect the Company’s right to the relief provided above in the courts of any other states within the geographical scope of such other covenants having appropriate personal and subject matter jurisdiction over the parties, as to breaches of such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the above covenants as they relate to each state being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

        (i)    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple original or facsimile counterparts (including *.pdf and the like), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

By employment with Company, Executive has had, or will have, contact with and gain knowledge of certain confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets, including without limitation, analyses of Company’s prospects and opportunities; programs (including advertising); direct mail and telephone lists, customer lists and potential customer lists; Company’s plans for present and future developments; marketing information including strategies, tactics, methods, customer’s market research data; financial information, including reports, records, costs, and performance data, debt arrangements, holdings, income statements, annual and/or quarterly statements and accounting records and/or tax returns; operational information, including operating procedures, products, methods, service techniques, “know-how”, tooling, plans, concepts, designs, specifications, trade secrets, processes, methods and suppliers; technical information, including computer software programs; research and development projects; product formulae, processes, inventions, designs, or discoveries, which information Company treats as confidential. Executive agrees that Executive will not communicate or disclose to any third party or use for Executive’s own account, without the written consent of Company, any of the aforementioned information or material, except as required by law, unless and until such information or material becomes generally available to the public through sources other than Executive. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Release Agreement or any other agreement, pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (A) is made (1) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (2) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (B) is made to the individual’s attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against the individual for reporting a suspected violation of law; or (C) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Moreover, nothing in this Release Agreement or any other agreement shall prevent Executive from making a confidential disclosure of any other confidential information to a government official, to an attorney as necessary to obtain legal advice or in a court filing under seal.

        (d)    Return of Property. Executive will deliver to Company all property, documents, or materials in her possession or custody, of any nature belonging to Company whether in original form or copies of any kind, including any trade secrets and proprietary information upon or prior to the effective date of this Agreement; provided, however, that Executive shall be permitted to keep her cell phone number and cell phone (Company IT personnel may clear the phone of Company data prior to her departure).

        (e)    Entire Agreement; Amendment. The recitals hereto are hereby incorporated herein by this reference. This Release Agreement, together with the Transition Agreement and the exhibits thereto and hereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto and thereto with regard to the subject matter hereof and thereof, superseding all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, including, without limitation, the Severance Agreement; provided, however, that any indemnification agreement, any outstanding vested equity award agreements (including, without limitation, any outstanding vested option agreement, restricted stock unit agreement, performance stock unit agreement, market stock unit
    



agreement or other equity instrument by and between the Company and the Executive), the Non-Competition Agreement and Section 10 of the Severance Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms and conditions herein and therein. This Release Agreement may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such change is sought.

        (f)    Interpretation. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that: (i) each party and its counsel reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this Release Agreement and have contributed to its revision; (ii) the rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Release Agreement; and (iii) the terms and provisions of this Release Agreement shall be construed fairly as to all parties hereto and not in favor of or against any party, regardless of which party was generally responsible for the preparation of this Release Agreement.

        (g)    Effect of Headings. The titles of section headings herein contained have been provided solely for convenience of reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or substance of any provision of this Release Agreement.

        (h)    Severability. The provisions of this Release Agreement are severable, and the invalidity of any provision shall not affect the validity of any other provision. In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision of this Release Agreement or the application thereof is unenforceable because of the duration or scope thereof, the parties hereto agree that said court in making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and scope of such provision to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and that the Release Agreement in its reduced form shall be valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.

        (i)    Governing Law/Jurisdiction. This Release Agreement shall be binding upon the Executive and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and interest and assigns, and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to conflicts of laws. The parties hereto intend and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained herein upon the state and federal courts sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In the event that such courts shall hold any such covenant wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect the Company’s right to relief in the courts of any other states within the geographical scope of such other covenants having appropriate personal and subject matter jurisdiction over the parties, as to breaches of such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the above covenants as they relate to each state being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

        (j)    Counterparts. This Release Agreement may be executed in multiple original or facsimile counterparts (including *.pdf and the like), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
