Hologic Breast and Skeletal Health Solutions division president Pete Valenti said: “Like our previous acquisitions of Faxitron and Focal, acquiring SuperSonic Imagine will strengthen our strategy to provide comprehensive screening, interventional and surgical solutions across the continuum of breast health care.
“Ultrasound is becoming increasingly important in diagnosing breast cancer, and we believe SuperSonic Imagine offers superior technology that translates into better clinical outcomes for breast cancer patients, as well as for patients with liver and prostate disease.”
Upon completion of the deal, Hologic will file a cash tender offer, which would not be subject to any condition precedent.
Completion of the tender offer is subject to the French Financial Markets Authority’s clearance decision on the proposed offer and is expected to take place by the end of this year.
