DirectMed Imaging’s Acquisition of Richardson Healthcare

Overview of the Acquisition

1. Why did DirectMed Imaging acquire Richardson Healthcare?

DirectMed Imaging acquired Richardson Healthcare to combine their complementary strengths
and enhance their offerings. DirectMed’s expertise in multi-modality and multi-manufacturer
imaging parts, paired with Richardson Healthcare’s focus on Toshiba parts and CT tube
manufacturing, allows for a broader range of products and services for customers.

As part of this acquisition, DirectMed Imaging is now the exclusive global distributor of new
ALTA750 and 750G CT X-Ray tubes for Toshiba CT systems, as well as repaired Siemens Straton Z
and MX series CT tubes. Richardson remains committed to engineering and manufacturing CT
tubes, with plans to release OEM alternative Straton MX and MX-Ps this May and additional CT
X-Ray tubes by 2026
