Medley to Acquire All Businesses, Including Doctor and Pharmacist Recruitment Support Services, Operated by Recruit Medical Career Co., Ltd.

Medley Inc. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Kohei Takiguchi; hereinafter, Medley) has decided to acquire all shares of a newly established company by Recruit Medical Career Inc. (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Toru Takasaki; hereinafter, Recruit Medical Career), which will inherit all businesses operated by Recruit Medical Career through an absorption-type company split, thereby making it a subsidiary. The purpose is to acquire all businesses operated by Recruit Medical Career.

This will enable Medley to inherit all businesses operated by Recruit Medical Career, including its recruitment support services, which have a leading track record in the doctor and pharmacist fields. This acquisition aims to create synergies with Medley's human resources platform business, which is working to strengthen its presence in the doctor, nurse, and pharmacist fields.

**Purpose of Share Acquisition**

Medley operates under the mission of "creating the future of medical healthcare," promoting digital transformation in the medical and healthcare sector by leveraging technologies such as the internet. Currently, it develops a human resources platform business that fully supports "working" for those who provide satisfactory medical and welfare services, and a medical platform business aimed at improving the operational efficiency of medical institutions and enhancing patient access to medical care.

In its human resources platform business, Medley operates with the service vision of "supporting work more broadly." It has developed businesses such as "Job Medley," one of Japan's largest medical and nursing care job sites, and "Job Medley Academy," an online video training service for nursing care, disability welfare, home medical care, and nursing. These services support the recruitment, training, and retention of individuals and organizations involved in medical, nursing, and welfare. "Job Medley" has expanded its customer base to approximately 440,000 facilities*1 by providing an affordable, performance-based direct recruiting service with online support. In recent years, Medley has been working to strengthen its presence in the doctor, nurse, and pharmacist fields, where there is significant room for market share expansion, to further increase its value proposition.

On the other hand, Recruit Medical Career provides recruitment support services for doctors and pharmacists, primarily through advisor-based support. It boasts a leading track record in this field, with a cumulative registered user base of over 60,000 doctors and over 70,000 pharmacists. The services offered by Recruit Medical Career and Medley's human resources platform business are highly complementary. Through this acquisition, by leveraging Medley's customer acquisition capabilities and Recruit Medical Career's expertise in recruitment support services, Medley will be able to expand its market share in the doctor, pharmacist, and hospital sectors, strengthen online support in its recruitment agency business, and expand services to include multiple professions. Furthermore, starting with recruitment agency services, Medley believes it can eventually develop BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) services utilizing AI and DX for the entire HR operations of medical institutions.

Given these expected synergies, Medley has decided to acquire the shares.
