Based on the Purchase Agreement, the value of the Nutriband common stock and cash used to acquire the business, Pocono's transdermal manufacturing business is valued at $7.5 million.

Following Nutriband's 2018 acquisition of 4P Therapeutics, the acquisition of Pocono's transdermal manufacturing business is a significant step in the development of Nutriband's growth and capabilities. Nutriband plans to consolidate the capabilities of both acquisitions to expand its business, enhance revenue stream opportunities, and advance in-house product development, specifically Nutriband's abuse deterrent technology for opioid-based transdermal medications, AVERSA.

The acquisition also includes the simultaneous acquisition by Pocono of Active Intelligence, LLC a veteran-founded company and the manufacturer of Active Intelligence kinesiology tape, a product that provides muscle support combined with soothing ingredients for aches or muscle pain.  The product is designed to mimic the skin's elasticity, so the user still has a full range of motion during its use.
