## ■ Background of Share Acquisition: The DX of Logistics as an Infrastructure Supporting the Medical Field
Currently, the dental care field is facing a serious increase in demand due to the aging population and labor shortages, making productivity improvement an urgent issue. Since July 2025, our group has initiated a dental distribution business centered on ASANO Inc., embarking on the reinforcement of the "medical infrastructure of logistics."
By integrating our strengths in marketing and the DX domain with this real logistics network, we aim to build a 21st-century medical infrastructure that goes beyond mere material delivery.
## ■ Purpose of Share Acquisition: A Robust Supply Chain Covering from Dental Clinics to "Dental Laboratories"
Akasaka Dental Supply, which we newly welcome to our group, is a group of specialists based in Saitama Prefecture that has long been engaged in the wholesale business of dental materials for dental technicians, building deep trust and relationships in regional medical care.
1. **Main Synergy Effects from this Acquisition**: Vertical integration of the supply chain: By integrating our existing dental distribution network with Akasaka Dental Supply's expertise in the dental technology field, we will establish a consistent logistics system that covers everything from dental clinics to dental laboratories.
2. **Improvement of Management Efficiency and Promotion of DX**: We will introduce our DX solutions to the locally rooted, analog trust relationships. This will streamline order and placement processes, providing a more stable medical infrastructure.
3. **Expansion of Business Foundation**: We aim for multi-faceted value creation through collaboration not only with the dental distribution business but also with other businesses developed by our company.
