Sellside Advisor
Houlihan Lokey is pleased to announce that the owner and CEO of WISEMAN Co., Ltd., has entered into a definitive agreement to sell the shares of the company to M3, Inc.
WISEMAN develops and provides healthcare business support systems, such as long-term care software and electronic medical records, to long-term care facilities and medical institutions nationwide. With a long-standing track record in providing industry-specific solutions, the company holds a top-tier market position in Japan by developing a highly robust customer base.
M3 operates m3.com, a dedicated web portal registered by a large majority of physicians in Japan. Through this robust platform, M3 provides a wide range of digital transformation (DX) services for the medical, pharmaceutical, and healthcare sectors.
This acquisition combines WISEMAN’s robust customer base and deep expertise in the long-term care sector with M3’s advanced technology and know-how in driving DX. This synergy will significantly accelerate DX across long-term care environments, improving operational productivity and the quality of care. Furthermore, the partnership is expected to drive further business initiatives aimed at realizing seamless integration and collaboration between medical institutions and long-term care facilities.
Houlihan Lokey served as the financial advisor to the owner and CEO of WISEMAN, providing comprehensive financial and strategic advice throughout the transaction, including corporate valuation, due diligence support, and the negotiation of complex terms within the definitive agreement.
