ITEM 1.01

ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On October 31, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Hologic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), approved cash bonuses with respect to fiscal 2005 performance and new base salaries for its executive officers. A portion of the fiscal 2005 cash bonuses includes a deferred portion, which is part of a larger deferred bonus pool awarded to a number of the Company’s key employees and executives, to be paid to participants in the deferred bonus pool who are employed by the Company on October 1, 2006. In the event that one or more persons that have been allocated a portion of the deferred bonus pool are not employed by the Company on October 1, 2006, the amounts allocated to such persons will be reallocated to the remaining participants in the deferred bonus pool on a pro rata basis. The cash bonuses for fiscal 2005 reflect the Company’s exceptional performance during fiscal 2005.
