+Added: Strategic Evolution into a Healthcare 4PL Platform
+Added: As described above, RMC has historically operated as a medical device
+Added: importer and distributor in Korea with a primary focus on the neuro-intervention field.
+Added: However, following a comprehensive strategic review,
+Added: the management has determined to transform RMC into a fourth-party logistics (“4PL”) platform for the Korean healthcare supply
+Added: chain — a strategic evolution that we view as a significant new growth engine for the consolidated group and a material driver of
+Added: revenue growth through 2030.
+Added: Industry Context and Market Opportunity
+Added: The Korean medical device import and distribution sector is under material
+Added: structural stress, driven by two converging dynamics:
+Added: ● Foreign exchange pressure:
+Added: Import purchase obligations are predominantly USD-denominated, while distributor revenues are generated
+Added: Sustained KRW depreciation has materially increased the local currency cost of Minimum Purchase Guarantee (“MPG”) commitments
+Added: to global manufacturers, compressing margins and straining liquidity across the independent distributor base.
+Added: ● Working capital mismatch:
+Added: Large university hospitals — the dominant demand-side buyers — typically remit payment up to
+Added: six months after device delivery, while receiving National Health Insurance Service (“NHIS”) reimbursement within approximately
+Added: two weeks of claim filing.
+Added: Independent distributors are required to finance this five-to-six month A/R gap without adequate access to
+Added: institutional capital.
+Added: These dynamics have produced a class of financially constrained distributors
+Added: actively seeking to exit their Korea agency mandates, import licenses, and MPG obligations — a dislocation management believes presents
+Added: RMC with a compelling and time-sensitive consolidation opportunity.
+Added: RMC’s targeted 4PL product categories span eleven identified product
+Added: lines with a combined total addressable market (“TAM”) estimated at approximately KRW 159.9 billion (~$110.7 million) .
+Added: Management notes that this estimate reflects a conservative, narrowly scoped assumption based on RMC’s historical neurointervention focus,
+Added: representing approximately 2.3% of total Korean medical device imports of ~USD 4.88 billion (Korean Medical Device Association, 2022).
+Added: The Company intends to revisit and update this TAM as RMC establishes a presence in product categories beyond its current core market.
+Added: RMC 4PL Business Model
+Added: RMC’s 4PL model addresses the structural pain points above by positioning
+Added: the Company as a financially capable consolidator and central platform across the Korean medical device supply chain, built on three core
+Added: capabilities:
+Added: ● Mandate Acquisition:
+Added: RMC assumes Korea agency mandates, import licenses, and MPG obligations from financially distressed independent
+Added: distributors, consolidating a historically fragmented and undercapitalized segment of the supply chain.
+Added: ● Working Capital Intermediation:
+Added: Leveraging OSR Holdings’ NASDAQ-listed parent credibility and financial resources, RMC bridges the
+Added: structural A/R gap inherent in the distributor-to-hospital payment cycle — a capability most independent distributors cannot replicate.
+Added: ● Scope Expansion and ICC Services:
+Added: The 4PL platform aggregates mandates across medical device categories beyond neurointervention,
+Added: enhancing scale economics and reducing concentration risk.
+Added: In-Country Care (“ICC”) services represent an additional, complementary
+Added: revenue stream as the platform matures.
+Added: A number of Korean distributors have already approached RMC proactively,
+Added: viewing its NASDAQ-listed parent as a credible and well-capitalized consolidator.
+Added: Management believes RMC is positioned to execute its
+Added: roll-up strategy promptly upon capital allocation by OSR Holdings.
+Added: 4PL Product Pipeline
+Added: The table below sets forth the eleven identified 4PL product categories,

+Added: Subject to risks
+Added: and uncertainties.
+Added: See “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this Annual Report.
+Added: Key observations:
+Added: (i) 4PL revenue is not projected to commence until
+Added: 2027, reflecting the time required for mandate acquisition and MFDS approvals following 2026 capital deployment;
+Added: (ii) total RMC revenue
+Added: is projected to grow from KRW 4.1 billion in 2026 to KRW 44.8 billion in 2030 (~82% CAGR), driven primarily by the 4PL ramp;
+Added: net margin is expected to stabilize at approximately 8% from 2028, with the current business providing a stable organic base throughout.
+Added: Key Execution Considerations
+Added: Investors should be aware of the following principal risks specific
+Added: to RMC’s 4PL initiative:
+Added: ● Capital Deployment:
+Added: Execution pace is contingent upon OSR Holdings allocating sufficient capital;
+Added: delays could materially impact the
+Added: projected revenue ramp.
+Added: ● Regulatory Timelines:
+Added: MFDS oversight of import license and mandate transfers may defer revenue commencement beyond projected periods.
+Added: ● Foreign Exchange:
+Added: RMC will assume USD-denominated MPG obligations;
+Added: continued KRW depreciation could increase local currency costs
+Added: ● Working Capital:
+Added: Scaling the platform will require disciplined management of an expanding A/R base given the structural hospital payment
+Added: ● Pipeline Conversion:
+Added: No assurance exists that identified distributor candidates will transfer mandates on commercially acceptable
+Added: terms or within projected timeframes.
+Added: Management views RMC’s 4PL transformation as one of the most significant
+Added: value creation opportunities within the OSR Holdings portfolio.
+Added: The Company will provide updates on mandate acquisitions, capital deployed,
+Added: and MFDS milestones in its periodic filings and through other public disclosures as material developments warrant.
