The purchase price for the facility was $16 million, subject to normal closing adjustments and the assumption of certain liabilities. The deal was financed through Patheon's existing credit facilities with its bankers and the firm has also acquired inventories of approximately $14 million, consisting of raw materials, packaging components and work in process, to be paid over the next four months and financed through working capital.
