We are redefining logistics for the life sciences industry by providing a unique platform of critical solutions including highly differentiated temperature-controlled supply chain solutions, which include advanced packaging, informatics, specialty logistics services, biostorage services and cryogenic life sciences equipment. Through our products, services and expertise, we enable our clients to ship, store and deliver cellular-based materials and drug products as well as other life sciences commodities in a precise, defined temperature-controlled state.

In addition, our Chain of ComplianceTM standard ensures full traceability of all equipment used and the processes employed, further supporting each client’s goal of minimizing risk and maximizing success of their respective biologics or other products and therapies as they are introduced into the global markets. On August 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to acquire CRYOPDP, a leading global provider of innovative temperature-controlled logistics solutions to the clinical research, pharmaceutical and cell and gene therapy markets, headquartered in Paris, France. Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in Advanced Therapy Logistics and Solutions, a company organized under the laws of France, which is the holding company that owns CRYOPDP (the “CRYOPDP Acquisition”). The base purchase price under the Securities Purchase Agreement was €49 million (approximately $58.0 million) and is subject to a cash, net debt, working capital and other adjustments.
