What Happened
Karleen Oberton, Hologic’s Chief Financial Officer, had a series of dispositions and award conversions on 2026-04-07 tied to Hologic’s merger. In total she disposed/converted 346,618 shares and share-equivalents (150,735 shares of common stock plus 195,883 RSU/PSU/option-related units). Under the merger terms each share converted into $76.00 in cash plus one contingent value right (CVR) that can pay up to $3.00. The cash-only portion of the consideration for 346,618 units is approximately $26,342,968; the CVRs could add up to about $1,039,854 if payable. After these conversions/dispositions the filing states the reporting person no longer beneficially owns any Hologic common stock.

Context
These entries reflect the contractual settlement of equity awards and options under the October 21, 2025 Merger Agreement (company acquired and common stock converted into cash + CVRs). For retail investors: this is a merger-driven, contractual conversion of equity into cash/CVRs, not a market sale for personal liquidity. CVR payments are contingent and not guaranteed; option treatment varied by strike price as described in the filing remarks.
