Notice Regarding D&M Company's Expansion into Real Estate Utilization Support in the Medical and Nursing Care Sectors

We announce that as part of our future business expansion, we will promote real estate utilization support through the acquisition and leasing of real estate in the medical and nursing care sectors. As part of this initiative, we have acquired real estate related to nursing care and disability welfare businesses today, based on the premise of utilization through a general fixed-term land lease agreement. The details are as follows.

1. Purpose and Background In Japan's medical and nursing care sectors, it is anticipated that an increasing number of operators will face difficulties in business continuity and expansion due to the lack of successors, workforce shortages, rising facility maintenance costs, and restrictions on financing methods. To date, our company has supported the sustainable development of medical and nursing care operators through financial support based on the transfer of medical and nursing care remuneration receivables, leasing, management consulting, and human resource support. Moving forward, by adding real estate utilization support through the acquisition and leasing of real estate, we will further contribute to the maintenance and development of regional medical and nursing care infrastructure.

2. Details of Real Estate Utilization Support In this initiative, as a means to support the business continuity and expansion of medical corporations and nursing care/disability welfare operators, we will acquire real estate and support them by utilizing it through leasing and other methods. In addition, by combining this with our existing services such as financial support, management consulting, and human resource support as necessary, we will provide multifaceted support for the management issues of the operators.

3. Overview of the Acquired Real Estate (1) Acquisition Date: April 3, 2026 (2) Target Asset: Land for nursing care and disability welfare business facilities (3) Location: Miyagi Prefecture (4) Acquisition Amount: 220 million yen (approximate) (5) Future Utilization Policy: We will conclude a general fixed-term land lease agreement with nursing care and disability welfare operators to support their business operations.

4. Main Significance of This Initiative We believe this initiative will expand the means of support for business continuity and expansion of medical and nursing care operators, thereby contributing to the improvement of the sustainability of regional medical and nursing care. Furthermore, we believe that the addition of real estate utilization support will broaden the scope of our multifaceted service provision, combined with our conventional financial support, consulting, and human resource support.

5. Future Outlook We expect the impact of this matter on our business results for the fiscal year ending May 2026 to be minor. If any matters requiring disclosure arise in the future, we will promptly inform you.
