Hologic IMPACT Issue 01 | Spring 2013 | Page 2

CEO Spotlight Dear Hologic Associates, I am very pleased to let you know that, after a brief hiatus, Global Insights is back by popular demand, beginning with this Spring 2013 issue. For our newer team members, Global Insights is the internal newsletter we use as one way of sharing important information about the people, products and events that make Hologic great. Global Insights is an excellent source for communicating company news across business lines and global locations. It is filled with information about goals accomplished, industry accolades received, product milestones achieved, community and global events we support, outstanding contributions by individuals or teams, and other newsworthy information. In addition to Global Insights you can also follow company news on the recently-launched My Hologic website. Different methods of communicating this type of information are more important today than ever before, considering the amazing period of growth and transformation Hologic has undergone over the past several years. We’ve strengthened our position as the world’s largest provider of premier women’s healthcare solutions; we’ve significantly expanded our global marketing and manufacturing presence; and, in 2012, we added a new member to the Hologic family—the acclaimed Gen-Probe molecular diagnostics business segment. We now have more than 6,000 Hologic associates around the world, with facilities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Belgium, Costa Rica, Canada, Germany, Australia, Canada, China and Hong Kong. You’ll find a profile of many of these facilities in this issue of Global Insights. As you read about your sister facilities, I know you’ll share the same sense of pride I feel about the truly multi-national organization we have become, with our rich workforce of diversely talented individuals. Despite our different backgrounds, locations, and business focuses, I am constantly struck by the similarities I see among our 6,000+ associates. As you read through this newsletter, you’ll see the same values reflected in each and every article; a commitment to excellence in our work, a drive toward breakthrough achievements in research and product development, a customer-centric focus and a passion for making a difference in people’s lives. I hope you enjoy this issue of Global Insights. I am pleased we are able to provide this to you as a permanent chronicle you can easily share with your family and friends to give them a better understanding about the company you work for and the pride we all take in the work we do. Warmest personal regards, Rob Cascella P r e sid e n t a n d C hi e f E x e cu t i v e O ffic e r 1 | GLOBAL INSIGHTS APRIL 2013
