Acquisition of Nagashima Medical Instruments Co., Ltd. (Becoming a Subsidiary)

The Alfresa Group has entered into a share transfer agreement to acquire all shares of Nagashima Medical Instruments, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nagashima Holdings and a manufacturer of medical devices for the otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery fields. With over 100 years of history, Nagashima Medical Instruments has a strong track record in university hospitals. Through this acquisition, the Alfresa Group aims to strengthen its manufacturing and development capabilities in medical devices, expand its product lineup, and enhance sales networks. There are no plans to change the name or location of Nagashima Medical Instruments, and the impact on current fiscal performance is expected to be minimal.
