HOLOGIC REGRETFULLY ANNOUNCES PASSING OF S. DAVID ELLENBOGEN, 
ITS CHAIRMAN AND CEO
COFOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, JAY A. STEIN, APPOINTED CHAIRMAN AND
INTERIM CEO 

BEDFORD, Mass., (June 22, 2001) -- Hologic, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOLX), a leading
provider of a broad array of radiographic equipment, regretfully announces that 
S. David Ellenbogen, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, passed away      
unexpectedly early Thursday morning,  June 21, as a consequence of heart        
failure. Jay A. Stein, Executive Vice President and Chief Technical Officer, has
been appointed Chairman and has agreed to serve as interim Chief Executive      
Officer.  The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized a search to fill 
the Chief Executive Officer position on a permanent basis.                      

Mr. Ellenbogen was a cofounder of the Company and served as its Chief     
Executive Officer and Chairman since its formation in October 1985. "We have all
suffered a great loss with the passing of Dave Ellenbogen," said Jay Stein,     
cofounder, partner and long-time friend. "Dave was a well-known, well-respected 
veteran of the medical device industry.  He was a true visionary who knew every 
aspect of the industry from business development and financing to production and
global expansion.  Perhaps Dave's strongest asset was his ability to motivate   
those around him to new levels of greatness.  Dave took great pride in the      
companies he helped to create.   However, he felt his greatest achievement was  
his family.  Our deepest sympathies go out to his wife Elaine, and his children 
Sandy and Michael and their families.  His strong leadership qualities, his     
creativity, his entrepreneurial spirit, and great sense of humor will be deeply 
missed."                                                                        

"We are greatly saddened by the death of our fellow director and friend," 
said Gerald Segel, a member of the Company's Board of Directors.  "However, we  
feel we are fortunate that David has been able to attract and retain a strong   
and experienced management team.  This team has worked closely with David over  
the past year in developing the Company's long-term goals and business          
strategies following the Company's recent acquisitions.  We are confident that  
this team has the vision and experience to implement and adapt these strategies 
in today's marketplace."
