Bucharest, August 27, 2021: For MedLife Medical System, the care for the patient, his safety and the permanent coming to meet his needs with solutions remained priority objectives for 2021 as well.

The leader of the private medical services market in Romania registered in the first six months of the current year a consolidated pro-forma turnover amounting to 741 million lei, increasing by 58% compared to the first half of 2020. The reported figures reflect the investments that have been made, such as the development of new products for the outpatient area, the increase in the number of laboratories by setting up the covid laboratories, but also the extension of the number of surgeries on the hospital segment.

"It was a good semester, we are glad that the results confirm our strategic investment and development efforts. We focused on the development of new products in outatient units, from pre and post covid screening packages to prevention packages for patients with chronic pathology. Laboratories were another segment in which we invested and which we grew considerably. We are continuously supporting the authorities and the general public, especially in this context with the increase in the number of new infections. We aim to invest even more in the medical infrastructure so as to increase access to these analyzes. At the same time, we consider launching new mobile testing centers, which are essential to have a better national coverage.

Hospitals have also increased their activity, more and more Romanians have taken care of their health and benefited from investigations and surgeries, most likely postponed during the lock down period. In fact, we are in the process of developing the MedPark project, the largest medical hub in the country, which we want to accelerate, and if things go according to plan, we will replicate this model in the coming years in other major cities: Brașov, Sibiu, Cluj, Arad. The pharmacy segment has also expanded, with the integration of the two companies, CED Pharma and Pharmachem, and the expansion of the product portfolio. We

continue to expand and refurbish, we aim full speed development, but are equally careful to the evolution of the pandemic", said Mihai Marcu, CEO and President of MedLife Group.

Regarding pro-forma EBITDA, it registered an increase of 96%, compared to the same period last year, the figure reported for the first semester being 157.3 million lei, compared to 80.2 million registered in the first semester of 2020. "Over the years, we have been consistent in our position on the market, we have presented our financial results transparently and we have enjoyed a steady and healthy growth. It is important that other companies also engage in this exercise of transparency of financial reporting, keeping a consistency of reporting principles" added Mihai Marcu.

According to company representatives, the first six months of 2021 also reflect the confident note that the Romanian economy is gaining, in the context in which companies have accelerated their activity and Romanians have gradually returned to normal activities. "Things may look good when we talk about a majority population immunized against COVID, at least this explains the decrease in the number of cases this summer, which allowed the resumption of a large number of activities. However, the outlook for the fourth wave caused by the Delta strain seems increasingly worrying. The estimates of the specialists show, unequivocally, that in the next period we will witness a new increase in the number of cases, a situation that will put pressure on hospitals and ATI departments again. As we also drew attention in our study, the high rate of immunization in Romania is influenced especially by those who have got the disease, the percentage of those who have been vaccinated being still small. I would like again to make an appeal to companies and the general public to get vaccinated. Only through vaccination can we resume our normal lives. Only in this way we all manage, together, to get the economy back on track, to increase job opportunities, production and exports" said Mihai Marcu.

Accessing a new syndicated loan

At the same time, MedLife announces today the intention to contract a new syndicated loan worth 50 million euros to strengthen its market position, funds that will be used to accelerate the M&A program.

"We intend to access a new syndicated loan, amounting to 50 million euros, amount that is added to the loan signed in May this year, amounting to 40 million euros. So we are talking about a total of 90 million euros, funds that we intend to invest in expanding the M&A program in the country, but also in the region. In fact, we are in advanced discussions for 2-3 important acquisitions which, in the event that they materialize, will bring added value to our portfolio of services.

In addition, other important liquidities of the company will be added to this loan, as the case may be, which will allow us to make investments for the organic development of the business segments from own resources.

We have proven over the years that we are a company that has a consistent strategy and a sustained growth rate, and the results are commensurate with our efforts. After last year we climbed to a quarter of a billion euros, this year we have great chances to be the first private medical company in Romania to reach a third of a billion euros", said Mihai Marcu.

Perspectives H2, 2021: Investments in research and digitization, expansion of the M&A program

As targets for the second half of 2021, MedLife representatives say the research division will continue to play an important role in monitoring the pandemic in Romania, while the M&A and digitization programs will also be a priority in the strategy plan for the next 6 months.

"We have played an important role in monitoring the pandemic and we will continue our investments in research, being the first private medical services operator to make research a strategic objective. In this

respect, we are working on the development of the new biosafety laboratory, grade III, a first in the region, and, in parallel, we have several ongoing studies, including cell immunization (T cells). So far, investments in research have exceeded 1 million euros, exclusively own funds.

Also, the M&A program is also active, as we mentioned, we have completed the acquisition of CED Pharma and Pharmachem Distribution and we are in advanced discussions for other acquisitions. We believe that by the end of this year we will announce at least 2 important transactions that will help us consolidate our position of absolute leader at national level.

Additionally, because digitalization is the focus for this period and the years to come, we continue to invest, developing new applications that facilitate rapid and efficient patient access to our services. As we were the first to introduce access to online test results, as well as those who implemented the online consultation service, we will continue to offer easy solutions to the patient in 2022. We have our own resources to start new projects" declared Mihai Marcu.
