Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “likely,” “future,” “strategy,” “potential,” “seeks,” “goal” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the benefits of and timeline for closing the merger. These forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions made by Hologic as of the date hereof and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.
 

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect Hologic’s business and prospects, and otherwise cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including without limitation, the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement entered into in connection with the proposed transaction; the risk that the parties to the merger agreement may not be able to satisfy the conditions to the proposed transaction in a timely manner or at all; risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction; the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of Hologic’s common stock; the risk of any unexpected costs or expenses resulting from the proposed transaction; the risk of any litigation relating to the proposed transaction; the risk that the proposed transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of Hologic to retain and hire key personnel and to maintain relationships with customers, vendors, partners, employees, stockholders and other business relationships and on its operating results and business generally; and the risk that the holders of the CVRs will receive less-than-anticipated payments with respect to the CVRs after the closing of the proposed transaction. Further information on factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by the forward-looking statements is included in the Hologic Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 18, 2025, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings made by Hologic from time to time with the SEC. These filings, when available, are available on the investor relations section of the Hologic website at https://investors.hologic.com or on the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov. If any of these risks materialize or any of these assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that Hologic presently does not know of or that Hologic currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are made only as of the date hereof. Hologic expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any such statements presented herein to reflect any change in expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements are based, except as required by law.
