Elder Pharmaceuticals Ltd has announced that the Company has finalized a 20% strategic stake in Neutra Health PLC, an AIM listed company in the United Kingdom. This entails an investment of Sterling Pounds 5.63 million (approximately Rs 46 – 47 crores) in respect of 35197026 equity shares having a face value of 10 pence at 16 pence per share.
Neutra Health PLC has three subsidiaries which market and distribute a range of neutraceutical products such as vitamins, specialized health supplements, over the counter medicines and 'detox in a box' health treatments, as well as TravelGuard range of travel related health products. Neutra Health has a turnover of 23 Million Sterling Pounds and a market capitalization of close to 16.8 Million Sterling Pounds.
