              of 3M to certain subsidiaries of Neogen for cash in lieu of such assets and liabilities being transferred to Garden SpinCo in connection with the Contribution. Please more fully describe what these certain assets and liabilities are and what
              relationship they have with the Food Safety Business as it was historically managed and operated. Also, tell us whether these assets and liabilities are included in the historical financial statements of the Food Safety Business and the
              reasons why or why not and how, if at all, they are depicted in the pro forma financial information.</div>

    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="margin-left: 36pt;"><u>Response</u>:&#160; The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the assets and liabilities that the Company and its subsidiaries will acquire under the Asset Purchase Agreement are assets and liabilities in certain
      jurisdictions that have historically formed a part of the Food Safety Business, including, among other things, intellectual property assets, tangible property and contracts related to the Food Safety Business, and that are included in the historical
      combined financial statements of the Food Safety Business included in the Registration Statement as well as in the unaudited pro forma financial information set forth therein.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="margin-left: 36pt;">3M and the Company elected to effect the transfer of the assets and liabilities in these jurisdictions directly between the parties (or their subsidiaries) rather than by way of the Contribution for reasons related to
      transaction structuring and execution considerations. However, the scope, nature, and extent of the categories of assets and liabilities being conveyed directly from certain subsidiaries of 3M to certain subsidiaries of the Company under the Asset
      Purchase Agreement are consistent with the scope of assets and liabilities related to the Food Safety Business that are being transferred under the Contribution in various other jurisdictions.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="margin-left: 36pt; color: #000000;">The assets and liabilities that will be transferred under the Asset Purchase Agreement have historically been managed and operated by the Food Safety Business consistent with the assets and liabilities
      that will be conveyed by way of the Contribution under the Separation Agreement. The transfer of assets and liabilities under the Asset Purchase Agreement form part of the same series of transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement and the
      Merger Agreement in order to transfer the applicable assets and liabilities of the Food Safety Business to the Company in their entirety. The transfer of assets and liabilities under the Asset Purchase Agreement will occur immediately following the
      Merger and is conditioned only on the prior occurrence of the Reorganization and Distribution and the Merger (as well as the absence of any legal restraints). As a result, upon the consummation of the transactions, the Company will, directly or
      indirectly, acquire or assume the entire agreed-upon scope of assets and liabilities that comprise the Food Safety Business. Similarly, if the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and Separation Agreement are not consummated, the Company
      will not acquire any assets or assume any liabilities under the Asset Purchase Agreement.</div>

              the Company) to manufacture and supply certain products to 3M following the Closing, and for 3M to distribute and resell such products (on a non-exclusive basis) for use in certain healthcare applications or to certain existing customers of
              3M&#8217;s other divisions (other than the Food Safety Business) pursuant to existing contracts. The Company and Garden SpinCo have reviewed the agreement and determined that a pro forma adjustment under Article 11 of Regulation S-X is not
              appropriate. In making such determination, the Company and Garden SpinCo considered that (i) 3M will not be required to purchase any products from Garden SpinCo pursuant to the agreement and any products ultimately purchased under the
              agreement will be contingent on the execution of purchase orders by 3M, (ii) that the amount of any revenue that may be received by the Company for products sold under the agreement will be dependent on the volume and type of products that
              will ultimately be purchased for resale by 3M, and (iii) to the extent that 3M sells any products purchased under the agreement to any end customer, the amount of the distribution fee that Garden SpinCo will be required to pay to 3M will be
              determined based on the weighted average sales price for the types of products that are ultimately sold, which prices have not yet been determined. Based on these factors, including that (x) the actual volume and type of products that will be
              sold under the agreement is uncertain and contingent on the execution of purchase orders by 3M (and the Company and Garden SpinCo are unable to estimate such volume as it will be based, in part, on 3M&#8217;s level of participation in its
              businesses unrelated to the Food Safety Business going forward) and (y) the applicable sales prices for such products (which will factor into any distribution fee payable to 3M) has not yet been determined, the consideration to be exchanged
              under the agreement, including any distribution fee payable to 3M, is not readily determinable and a pro forma adjustment for the agreement under Article 11 of Regulation S-X would not be appropriate as any such pro forma adjustment is not
              factually supportable. The Company, Garden SpinCo and 3M do not anticipate that the information necessary to make a pro forma adjustment will be available prior to Closing.</div>
