Item 8.01  Other Events

 

Fischer Imaging Corporation (“Fischer”) announced today that it received a request from the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) in October asking that Fischer voluntarily produce certain information and material to the FTC in connection with the transaction between Fischer and Hologic, Inc. that closed on September 29, 2005 (the “Transaction”).  The FTC request does not allege any wrongdoing and is part of a nonpublic, preliminary investigation to determine whether the Transaction may be anticompetitive and a violation of the Clayton Act or the Federal Trade Commission Act.  Fischer is in the process of responding to such request and cannot predict the outcome of the investigation or its effect, if any, on Fischer’s business.
