Marpai Announces Closing of the Acquisition of Maestro Health

The acquisition doubles Marpai's size, expands the reach of AI-powered health services, adds pharmacy cost containment and clinical care programs to its platform

NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Marpai, Inc. (Nasdaq: MRAI) ("Marpai" or the "Company"), a technology company transforming third-party administration (TPA) in the self-funded employer health plan market, today announced the closing of its previously announced acquisition of Maestro Health LLC ("Maestro") in a deal that more than doubles the size of the Company. Maestro is a leading TPA based in Chicago, Illinois that serves over 80 self-insured employers. Together, the joint company brings AI-powered health plans services to over 40,000 employees nationwide making it a leading technology driven player in the market. The acquisition of Maestro is expected to more than double the number of Marpai's customers and the number of members that it serves.

The combined company will continue to focus on generating superior member population health outcomes with the greatest cost efficiency for employer health plans. Marpai brings AI-powered services including proactive, targeted health interventions for at-risk members and outreach to fill gaps in care for annual visits. Maestro brings in-house Clinical Care Management with a proven track record of life-enhancing, cost saving member care, and an innovative pharmacy cost containment program that saves employers up to 75% on high-cost specialty medications while reducing copays for members. Both companies bring deep domain expertise in self-funded healthcare.

"Our goal is to transform the company health plan for self-insured employers, and this acquisition propels us forward," said Edmundo Gonzalez, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Marpai. "Maestro is a strong strategic and cultural fit with Marpai, and I am truly excited about the positive impact our combined company will have on the lives we serve. Together, we believe that we can change the cost and outcome curves in self-funded healthcare."

The acquisition is expected to accelerate Marpai's growth trajectory and strengthens the Company's financial profile for continued success. Marpai will integrate Maestro's complementary services to better serve customers and expand into new revenue areas.

"Joining Marpai is incredibly exciting for our clients, members and employees. We are building the payer of the future. Our member-centric, technology-driven approach is high impact and unmatched in the self-funded health plan market." says Brandon Wood, Chief Executive Officer of Maestro Health.

Clients and members of Maestro will continue to be served through its current portal, customer service center, website and relationship managers until its brand and systems are fully converted to Marpai, which is expected to occur in early 2023.
