Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement 

Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “PSU Award Agreement”) pursuant to the Hologic, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, as it
may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Grantee desire to enter into an agreement whereby the Company will grant the Grantee Performance Stock Units
(“PSUs”) in respect of the Company’s Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), as set forth in the Notice of Grant of Performance Stock Units to which this PSU Award Agreement is attached (the “Award
Notice”). 
 NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Company and the Grantee agree as follows: 
 1.    Grant of PSUs. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this PSU Award
Agreement and the Plan (which is incorporated herein by reference), the Company hereby grants to the Grantee an award for the Target Number of PSUs as provided in the Award Notice. The shares of Common Stock covered by these PSUs are sometimes
hereinafter referred to as the “PSU Shares.” The number and class of securities and vesting schedule of the PSUs are subject to adjustment as set forth in this PSU Award Agreement, the Plan and the 2021 LTP Overview (which is incorporated
herein by reference). In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this PSU Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings set forth in the Plan. 
 2.    Performance Stock Units. Each PSU entitles the Grantee to receive from the
Company (i) one share of Common Stock for each PSU vested as of a Vesting Date (as defined below) and (ii) the right to receive notional dividend equivalents, if any, each in accordance with the terms of and subject to adjustment as
provided in this PSU Award Agreement, the Plan and the 2021 LTP Overview. After a Vesting Date, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver the PSU Shares which have vested on that date. To the extent that
the PSUs granted hereby are not otherwise forfeited, the number of PSUs that vest shall be rounded to the nearest whole PSU. 

3.    Dividend Equivalents. Until the Vesting Date, whenever dividends are paid or distributed with respect to the Common
Stock, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive notional dividend equivalents (the “Dividend Equivalents”) in an amount equal in value to the amount of the dividend or property distributed on a single share of Common Stock as of the record
date for such dividend or distribution, multiplied by the number of PSUs granted hereunder that are vested as of the Vesting Date. Payment of the notional dividend equivalents paid on PSUs will be withheld by the Company and shall be delivered to
the Grantee as of the Vesting Date, if and only to the extent that the PSUs have vested as of said date, as set forth in paragraph 4. 

4.    Vesting. 

(a)    Subject to achievement of the performance targets set forth in the 2021 LTP Overview, and except as otherwise set
forth herein, the PSUs granted hereby will vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date as provided in the Award Notice, provided that the Grantee has remained in continuous Service (as defined below) through such date (the
“Restriction Lapse Date”). The calculation of the number of PSUs, if any, that will vest on the Restriction Lapse Date is specified in the 2021 LTP Overview and is based upon ROIC achieved for fiscal 2021 (as set forth in the 2021 LTP
Overview). If the Company does not achieve the Minimum ROIC (as set forth in the 2021 LTP Overview) during the Performance Period, the PSUs granted or otherwise eligible to be issued hereunder shall be forfeited as of the date of such determination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the Grantee’s Retirement (as defined below), the PSUs shall vest on the Restriction Lapse Date, subject to achievement of the performance targets set forth in the 2021 LTP Overview (i.e., based on the
Company’s actual performance); provided, however, that the PSUs shall not be eligible for 

  
 (Hologic, Inc. U.S. FY21
PSU Agreement (ROIC) – Page 2) 

 
the treatment described in this sentence if the grant date is within ninety (90) days of the Grantee’s Retirement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Retirement” shall
mean a Grantee’s termination of Service other than by the Company for Cause on or after the earlier of (a) attaining age 65, or (b) attaining age 55 and completing 10 years of continuous Service with the Company. For purposes of this
PSU Award Agreement, the term “Service” shall mean service as a Service Provider to the Company; and the term “Service Provider” shall mean an employee, officer or director of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company or a
consultant currently providing services to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. Whether a termination of Service shall have occurred for purposes of this PSU Award Agreement shall be determined by the Company, which determination shall be
final, binding and conclusive. If the Grantee’s Service is terminated prior to the Restriction Lapse Date (other than as otherwise explicitly provided for in this Section 4), then the unvested PSUs shall terminate and Grantee shall have no
further rights hereunder, including without limitation any rights to receive any Dividend Equivalents as set forth in paragraph 3, with respect to such unvested PSUs. For purposes of this PSU Award Agreement, the term “Performance Period”
shall be the period commencing on September 27, 2020 (the first day of the Company’s current fiscal year) and ending on September 25, 2021 (the last day of the Company’s current fiscal year). 

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4(a) above and subject to the conditions set forth below,
a pro-rata amount (based on the number of days the Grantee was employed during the Performance Period) of the Target Number of PSUs granted hereby will vest prior to the Restriction Lapse Date upon the
termination of the Grantee’s Service as a result of the death or Permanent Disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of the Grantee (the “Termination Vesting Date,” and together with the Restriction Lapse
Date, the “Vesting Date”). 
 (c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4(a) above and
subject to the conditions set forth below, if the Company consummates a Change of Control prior to the Restriction Lapse Date, the Target Number of PSUs granted hereby that have not otherwise been forfeited prior to the Change of Control shall in
effect become time-lapsed restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a rate of one RSU for each of the Target Number of PSUs. The RSUs shall vest in full on the Restriction Lapse Date provided that, in
the event the Grantee’s employment during the Change of Control Period is terminated prior to the Restriction Lapse Date, either (A) by the Company other than for Cause or (B) by the Grantee for Good Reason and the Grantee in both
cases has remained in continuous Service through the date of termination, then all RSUs shall be immediately vested. If a Change of Control occurs subsequent to the last day of the Performance Period, but prior to calculation of ROIC, then
PSUs shall be converted to RSUs only after such calculation(s), provided, however, in the event that the Company has failed to achieve the Minimum ROIC for the Performance Period, then all PSUs shall be forfeited regardless of the Change of Control
occurring after the end of the Performance Period. Certain capitalized terms used in this paragraph (c) are defined in Annex A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this PSU Award Agreement (including the foregoing, the 2021 LTP
Overview, or Annex A hereto), if the Grantee is a party to a prior written employment agreement, change of control agreement or plan or other similar written agreement or plan (each a “Prior Agreement”), that provides, in certain
circumstances, for greater benefits regarding the accelerated vesting of equity awards (including PSUs) following a change of control of the Company or similar transaction, the terms of such Prior Agreement shall control the definition of the term
“Change of Control” (or any term used therein of similar import), and the terms and conditions by which the vesting of the PSUs may be accelerated as a result of a Change of Control, as well as the benefits that may otherwise be available
to the Grantee upon a Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby confirm that the PSUs granted hereunder shall be considered and treated as restricted stock under any such Prior Agreement for purposes of determining whether
any such vesting is accelerated. 
 5.    Nontransferability. The PSUs granted pursuant to this PSU Award Agreement may
not be transferred without the consent of the Company, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
 6.    No
Rights Other Than Those Expressly Created. Neither this PSU Award Agreement, the PSUs, nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as (i) giving the Grantee any right to be retained in the Service of, or continue to be
affiliated with, the Company, (ii) giving the Grantee any equity or interest of any kind in any assets of the Company, or (iii) creating a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship of any kind between the Grantee and the Company. As to
any claim for any unpaid amounts or distributions under 

  
 (Hologic, Inc. U.S. FY21
PSU Agreement (ROIC) – Page 3) 

 
this PSU Award Agreement, any person having a claim for payments shall be an unsecured creditor. The Grantee shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any PSU Shares or
any Dividend Equivalents until such time as the underlying PSU has been vested and the PSU Shares have been issued. 

7.    Compliance with Laws.  

(a)    Withholding of Taxes. Pursuant to applicable federal, state, local or foreign laws, the Company may be
required to collect or withhold income or other taxes from Grantee upon a Vesting Date or at some other time. The Company may require, upon a Vesting Date, or demand, at such other time as it may consider appropriate, that the Grantee pay the
Company the amount of any taxes which the Company may determine is required to be collected or withheld, and the Grantee shall comply with the requirement or demand of the Company. 

(b)    Section 280G. In the event that the Grantee shall become entitled to payments and/or benefits provided by
this PSU Award Agreement or any other amounts in the “nature of compensation” as a result of a Change of Control (the “Company Payments”), and such Company Payments will be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”)
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or similar provision, then, except as may otherwise be provided in a Prior Agreement between the Company and the Grantee, the amounts of any Company Payments shall be automatically reduced to an amount one
dollar less than the amount that would subject the Grantee to the Excise Tax. 
 (c)    Securities Law
Compliance. Upon vesting (or partial vesting) of the PSUs granted hereunder, the Grantee shall make such representations and furnish such information as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be appropriate to permit the Company to
issue or transfer the PSU Shares in compliance with the provisions of applicable federal or state securities laws. The Company, in its discretion, may postpone the issuance and delivery of PSU Shares until completion of such registration or other
qualification of such shares under any federal or state laws, or stock exchange listing, as the Company may consider appropriate. In addition, the Company may require that prior to the issuance or transfer of PSU Shares, the Grantee enter into a
written agreement to comply with any restrictions on subsequent disposition that the Company deems necessary or advisable under any applicable federal and state securities laws. The PSU Shares issued hereunder may be legended to reflect such
restrictions. 
 (d)    General. No PSU Shares shall be issued or Dividend Equivalents distributed upon vesting
of a PSU granted hereunder unless and until the Company is satisfied, in its sole discretion, that there has been compliance with all legal requirements applicable to the issuance of such PSU Shares and/or distribution of such Dividend Equivalents.

 8.    Miscellaneous. 

(a)    409A Compliance. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, delay payments hereunder or make such
other modifications with respect to the issuance of stock hereunder as it reasonably deems necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code and interpretative guidance thereunder. To the extent any payment hereunder is considered deferred
compensation subject to the restrictions contained in Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A of the Code, such payment may not be made to a specified employee (as
determined in accordance with a uniform policy adopted by the Company with respect to all arrangements subject to Section 409A of the Code) upon separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) before the date that
is six months after the specified employee’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the specified employee’s death). Any payment that would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be accumulated and paid on the sixth month
plus one day following the specified employee’s separation from service (or, if earlier, as soon as administratively practicable after the specified employee’s death). 

(b)    Recoupment/Claw-Back of Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of this PSU Award Agreement to the
contrary, any PSU granted under this PSU Award Agreement (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received upon any receipt or exercise of any PSU or upon the receipt or resale of any share of Common Stock
underlying the PSU) shall be subject 

  
 (Hologic, Inc. U.S. FY21
PSU Agreement (ROIC) – Page 4) 

 
to the terms of any compensation recoupment or claw-back policy implemented by the Company, as any such policy may be amended from time to time, and/or subject to recoupment as required by any
other provisions of any law (including, without limitation, Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement. 

(c)    Discretion of the Committee. Unless otherwise explicitly provided herein, the Board of Directors of the
Company, or an authorized committee thereof, shall make all determinations required to be made hereunder, including but not limited to determinations relating to the achievement of any thresholds or the vesting of any PSUs hereunder, and shall
interpret all provisions of this PSU Award Agreement and the underlying PSUs, as it deems necessary or desirable, in its sole and absolute discretion. Such determinations and interpretations shall be binding on and conclusive to the Company and the
Grantee. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, delay payments hereunder or make such other modifications with respect to the issuance of stock hereunder as it reasonably deems necessary to the extent
that (a) audited financials are not complete for any applicable period during the Performance Period and/or (b) that the Company has not had an adequate opportunity to review the audited financials or calculate ROIC, or any other metric
set forth in the 2021 LTP Overview, for any applicable period during the Performance Period. 
 (d)    Amendment.
Subject to the terms of the Plan, this PSU Award Agreement may only be modified or amended by a writing signed by both parties.

(f)    Entire Agreement. This PSU Award Agreement shall supersede in its entirety all prior undertakings and

benefits regarding acceleration of vesting of equity awards granted to the Grantee.

shall be deemed limited to the extent that such court deems it enforceable, and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that such court shall deem any such provision, or portion thereof, wholly unenforceable, the remaining
provisions of this PSU Award Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement 

Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “PSU Award Agreement”) pursuant to the Hologic, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, as it
may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Grantee desire to enter into an agreement whereby the Company will grant the Grantee Performance Stock Units
(“PSUs”) in respect of the Company’s Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), as set forth in the Notice of Grant of Performance Stock Units to which this PSU Award Agreement is attached (the “Award
Notice”). 
 NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Company and the Grantee agree as follows: 
 1.    Grant of PSUs. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this PSU Award
Agreement and the Plan (which is incorporated herein by reference), the Company hereby grants to the Grantee an award for the Target Number of PSUs as provided in the Award Notice. The shares of Common Stock covered by these PSUs are sometimes
hereinafter referred to as the “PSU Shares.” The number and class of securities and vesting schedule of the PSUs are subject to adjustment as set forth in this PSU Award Agreement, the Plan and the 2021 LTP Overview (which is incorporated
herein by reference). In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this PSU Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings set forth in the Plan. 
 2.    Performance Stock Units. Each PSU entitles the Grantee to receive from the
Company (i) one share of Common Stock for each PSU vested as of a Vesting Date (as defined below) and (ii) the right to receive notional dividend equivalents, if any, each in accordance with the terms of and subject to adjustment as
provided in this PSU Award Agreement, the Plan and the 2021 LTP Overview. After a Vesting Date, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver the PSU Shares which have vested on that date. To the extent that
the PSUs granted hereby are not otherwise forfeited, the number of PSUs that vest shall be rounded to the nearest whole PSU. 

3.    Dividend Equivalents. Until the Vesting Date, whenever dividends are paid or distributed with respect to the Common
Stock, the Grantee shall be entitled to receive notional dividend equivalents (the “Dividend Equivalents”) in an amount equal in value to the amount of the dividend or property distributed on a single share of Common Stock as of the record
date for such dividend or distribution, multiplied by the number of PSUs granted hereunder that are vested as of the Vesting Date. Payment of the notional dividend equivalents paid on PSUs will be withheld by the Company and shall be delivered to
the Grantee as of the Vesting Date, if and only to the extent that the PSUs have vested as of said date, as set forth in paragraph 4. 

4.    Vesting. 

(a)    Subject to achievement of the performance targets set forth in the 2021 LTP Overview, and except as otherwise set
forth herein, the PSUs granted hereby will vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date as provided in the Award Notice, provided that the Grantee has remained in continuous Service (as defined below) through such date (the
“Restriction Lapse Date”). The calculation of the number of PSUs, if any, that will vest on the Restriction Lapse Date is specified in the 2021 LTP Overview and is based upon the Three-Year Relative TSR Percentile Rank (as set forth in the
2021 LTP Overview). If the Company does not achieve the Minimum Three-Year Relative TSR Rank (as set forth in the 2021 LTP Overview) during the Performance Period, the PSUs granted or otherwise eligible to be issued hereunder shall be forfeited as
of the date of such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the Grantee’s Retirement (as defined below), the PSUs shall vest on the Restriction Lapse Date, subject to achievement of the performance targets set forth in the 2021 LTP
Overview (i.e. based on the Company’s actual performance); provided, however, that the PSUs shall not be eligible for the treatment described in this sentence if the grant date is within ninety (90) days of the Grantee’s Retirement.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Retirement” shall mean a Grantee’s termination of Service other than by the Company for Cause on or after the earlier of (a) attaining age 65, or (b) attaining age 55 and completing
10 years of continuous Service with the Company. For 

  
 (Hologic, Inc. U.S. FY21
PSU Agreement (relative TSR) – Page 2) 

 
purposes of this PSU Award Agreement, the term “Service” shall mean service as a Service Provider to the Company; and the term “Service Provider” shall mean an employee,
officer or director of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company or a consultant currently providing services to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. Whether a termination of Service shall have occurred for purposes of this PSU Award
Agreement shall be determined by the Company, which determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. If the Grantee’s Service is terminated prior to the Restriction Lapse Date (other than as otherwise explicitly provided for in this
Section 4), then the unvested PSUs shall terminate and Grantee shall have no further rights hereunder, including without limitation any rights to receive any Dividend Equivalents as set forth in paragraph 3, with respect to such unvested PSUs.
For purposes of this PSU Award Agreement, the term “Performance Period” shall be the period commencing on September 27, 2020 (the first day of the Company’s current fiscal year) and ending on September 30, 2023 (the last day
of the Company’s fiscal year 2023). 
 (b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4(a) above
and subject to the conditions set forth below, a pro-rata amount (based on the number of days the Grantee was employed during the Performance Period) of the Target Number of PSUs granted hereby will vest prior
to the Restriction Lapse Date upon the termination of the Grantee’s Service as a result of the death or Permanent Disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of the Grantee (the “Termination Vesting Date,” and
together with the Restriction Lapse Date, the “Vesting Date”). 
 (c)    Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in Section 4(a) above and subject to the conditions set forth below, if the Company consummates a Change of Control prior to the Restriction Lapse Date, the Target Number of PSUs granted hereby that have not otherwise been forfeited
prior to the Change of Control shall in effect become time-lapsed restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a rate of one RSU for each of the Target Number of PSUs. The RSUs shall vest in full on the
Restriction Lapse Date provided that, in the event the Grantee’s employment during the Change of Control Period is terminated prior to the Restriction Lapse Date, either (A) by the Company other than for Cause or (B) by the Grantee
for Good Reason and the Grantee in both cases has remained in continuous Service through the date of termination, then all RSUs shall be immediately vested. If a Change of Control occurs subsequent to the last day of the Performance Period,
but prior to calculation of the Relative TSR Percentile Ranking, then PSUs shall be converted to RSUs only after such calculation(s), provided, however, in the event that the Company has failed to achieve the Minimum Three-Year Relative TSR
Percentile Rank for the Performance Period, then all PSUs shall be forfeited regardless of the Change of Control occurring after the end of the Performance Period. Certain capitalized terms used in this paragraph (c) are defined in Annex A.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this PSU Award Agreement (including the foregoing, the 2021 LTP Overview, or Annex A hereto), if the Grantee is a party to a prior written employment agreement, change of control agreement or plan or other
similar written agreement or plan (each a “Prior Agreement”), that provides, in certain circumstances, for greater benefits regarding the accelerated vesting of equity awards (including PSUs) following a change of control of the Company or
similar transaction, the terms of such Prior Agreement shall control the definition of the term “Change of Control” (or any term used therein of similar import), and the terms and conditions by which the vesting of the PSUs may be
accelerated as a result of a Change of Control, as well as the benefits that may otherwise be available to the Grantee upon a Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby confirm that the PSUs granted hereunder shall be
considered and treated as restricted stock under any such Prior Agreement for purposes of determining whether any such vesting is accelerated. 

5.    Nontransferability. The PSUs granted pursuant to this PSU Award Agreement may not be transferred without the consent
of the Company, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
 6.    No Rights Other Than Those Expressly
Created. Neither this PSU Award Agreement, the PSUs, nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as (i) giving the Grantee any right to be retained in the Service of, or continue to be affiliated with, the Company,
(ii) giving the Grantee any equity or interest of any kind in any assets of the Company, or (iii) creating a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship of any kind between the Grantee and the Company. As to any claim for any unpaid
amounts or distributions under this PSU Award Agreement, any person having a claim for payments shall be an unsecured creditor. The Grantee shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any PSU Shares or any Dividend Equivalents
until such time as the underlying PSU has been vested and the PSU Shares have been issued.

 7.    Compliance with Laws.  

(a)    Withholding of Taxes. Pursuant to applicable federal, state, local or foreign laws, the Company may be
required to collect or withhold income or other taxes from Grantee upon a Vesting Date or at some other time. The Company may require, upon a Vesting Date, or demand, at such other time as it may consider appropriate, that the Grantee pay the
Company the amount of any taxes which the Company may determine is required to be collected or withheld, and the Grantee shall comply with the requirement or demand of the Company. 

(b)    Section 280G. In the event that the Grantee shall become entitled to payments and/or benefits provided by
this PSU Award Agreement or any other amounts in the “nature of compensation” as a result of a Change of Control (the “Company Payments”), and such Company Payments will be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”)
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or similar provision, then, except as may otherwise be provided in a Prior Agreement between the Company and the Grantee, the amounts of any Company Payments shall be automatically reduced to an amount one
dollar less than the amount that would subject the Grantee to the Excise Tax. 
 (c)    Securities Law
Compliance. Upon vesting (or partial vesting) of the PSUs granted hereunder, the Grantee shall make such representations and furnish such information as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be appropriate to permit the Company to
issue or transfer the PSU Shares in compliance with the provisions of applicable federal or state securities laws. The Company, in its discretion, may postpone the issuance and delivery of PSU Shares until completion of such registration or other
qualification of such shares under any federal or state laws, or stock exchange listing, as the Company may consider appropriate. In addition, the Company may require that prior to the issuance or transfer of PSU Shares, the Grantee enter into a
written agreement to comply with any restrictions on subsequent disposition that the Company deems necessary or advisable under any applicable federal and state securities laws. The PSU Shares issued hereunder may be legended to reflect such
restrictions. 
 (d)    General. No PSU Shares shall be issued or Dividend Equivalents distributed upon vesting
of a PSU granted hereunder unless and until the Company is satisfied, in its sole discretion, that there has been compliance with all legal requirements applicable to the issuance of such PSU Shares and/or distribution of such Dividend Equivalents.

 8.    Miscellaneous. 

(a)    409A Compliance. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, delay payments hereunder or make such
other modifications with respect to the issuance of stock hereunder as it reasonably deems necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code and interpretative guidance thereunder. To the extent any payment hereunder is considered deferred
compensation subject to the restrictions contained in Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A of the Code, such payment may not be made to a specified employee (as
determined in accordance with a uniform policy adopted by the Company with respect to all arrangements subject to Section 409A of the Code) upon separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) before the date that
is six months after the specified employee’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the specified employee’s death). Any payment that would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be accumulated and paid on the sixth month
plus one day following the specified employee’s separation from service (or, if earlier, as soon as administratively practicable after the specified employee’s death). 

(b)    Recoupment/Claw-Back of Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of this PSU Award Agreement to the
contrary, any PSU granted under this PSU Award Agreement (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received upon any receipt or exercise of any PSU or upon the receipt or resale of any share of Common Stock
underlying the PSU) shall be subject to the terms of any compensation recoupment or claw-back policy implemented by the Company, as any such policy may be amended from time to time, and/or subject to recoupment as required by any other provisions of
any law (including, without limitation, Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement. 

(c)    Discretion of the Committee. Unless otherwise explicitly provided herein, the Board of Directors of the
Company, or an authorized committee thereof, shall make all determinations required to be made hereunder, including but not limited to determinations relating to the achievement of any thresholds or the vesting of any PSUs hereunder, and shall
interpret all provisions of this PSU Award Agreement and the 

  
 (Hologic, Inc. U.S. FY21
PSU Agreement (relative TSR) – Page 4) 

 
underlying PSUs, as it deems necessary or desirable, in its sole and absolute discretion. Such determinations and interpretations shall be binding on and conclusive to the Company and the
Grantee. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, delay payments hereunder or make such other modifications with respect to the issuance of stock hereunder as it reasonably deems necessary to the extent
that (a) audited financials are not complete for any applicable period during the Performance Period and/or (b) that the Company has not had an adequate opportunity to review the audited financials or confirm the Three-Year Relative TSR
Percentile Rank, or any other metric set forth in the 2021 LTP Overview, for any applicable period during the Performance Period. 

(d)    Amendment. Subject to the terms of the Plan, this PSU Award Agreement may only be modified or amended by a
writing signed by both parties. 
 (e)    Notices. Any notices required to be given under this PSU Award
Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, and addressed as follows:

(f)    Entire Agreement. This PSU Award Agreement shall supersede in its entirety all prior undertakings and

benefits regarding acceleration of vesting of equity awards granted to the Grantee.

the laws of the State of Delaware.    In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision, or any portion thereof, contained in this PSU Award Agreement shall be unenforceable in any respect,
then such provision shall be deemed limited to the extent that such court deems it enforceable, and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that such court shall deem any such provision, or portion thereof, wholly
unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this PSU Award Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

provided for herein. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this PSU Award Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party
from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder.
