| Concur Expense |
| New Expense Reporting Tool Arrives in May! |

Ability to manage your travel and expenses anytime, anywhere with the increased convenience and flexibility of a mobile application, including receipt capture using your phone’s camera to eliminate scanning, faxing or mailing. |
| • |
|
Ability to combine trip data from Concur Travel, Corporate card data from JP Morgan, and E-receipts from various vendors. |

Include real-time searches of healthcare providers to satisfy Sunshine Act reporting. |

| TrackPoint |
| |
TrackPoint is a tool currently available to the Travel Department to quickly locate all Hologic employees traveling on business in the case of an adverse event. Locating all employees is essential so we can provide assistance to the traveler --including a move to a safer locale if necessary. As TrackPoint can only track travelers who made their air and hotel arrangements though American Express Travel, it is required that all travel is booked either through the Travel Desk or Concur’s Cliqbook On-line Booking Tool; otherwise we would be unable to assist you in an emergency. Our goal is to keep employees safe and this is an important tool should we ever need to use it.

| Online Booking |
| |
Hologic encourages all US and Canada travelers to book arrangements using the Concur On-line Booking Tool for airline, hotel and car rental. The benefits of our on-line booking tool are 24 hour access and support in addition to a significant reduction in transaction costs. This tool should be used:
|
| This tool should be used for: |
| • |
|
substantially all US and Canada-based air travel |
| This tool should NOT be used for: |
| • |
|
complex air travel with multiple destinations |
| • |
|
international flights (outside of US and Canada) |
| • |
|
flights scheduled to depart within 3 days |
|
| |
Company-wide, we currently use the On-line Booking Tool for less than 40% of travel booked through American Express Global Business Travel. Best Practice amongst our industry peers is in excess of XX% of all travel is booked on line. Our goal is to increase our on line booking rate to 80% by the end of fiscal 2015. Transaction fees are double the cost when booked with the Travel Desk as compared to on-line booking.
You may access the online tool through the following link: On-line Booking Tool
