Medirom Healthcare announced that the Master Service Agreement entered into with Tools for Humanity and World Foundation became effective on February 2, 2026. Currently, Orbs are installed at more than 150 locations, primarily at relaxation studios "Re.Ra.Ku" operated by the MEDIROM Group. Cumulative authentications have surpassed 20,000 to date. Based on the current authentication performance levels, if Medirom achieves its target of expanding to approximately 3,000 locations nationwide in Japan, the Company estimates that it could generate income before income taxes of approximately USD 39 million over the next two years under the Agreement.

MEDIROM Healthcare Technologies is collaborating with World Foundation and Tools for Humanity to deploy Proof of Human technologies such as World ID throughout Japan. The World project was co-created by Sam Altman and Alex Blania. In preparation for the full-scale rollout of the World project in Japan, MEDIROM has entered into a Master Service Agreement with Tools for Humanity and World Foundation. Under the MSA, the MEDIROM Group will be responsible for the operation of "Proof of Human" verification locations in Japan. This initiative is expected to contribute to MEDIROM's revenue through operation fees and related services over time. Leveraging MEDIROM's nationwide network of approximately 300 physical locations and operational expertise, the collaboration enables rapid and trusted deployment of Proof of Human technology at scale. To support this effort, MEDIROM will newly establish a dedicated special task force, the "MEDIROM World Proof of Human Task Force," and will strengthen its organizational structure to promote the nationwide rollout of Proof of Human technology powered by World.
