Magnetic North Acquisition Corp. Provides Update on Previcare, Inc.
March 02 2021 - 10:28AM
Magnetic North Acquisition Corp. (TSXV: MNC;
MNC.PR.A) (“
Magnetic North” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to provide an update on
Previcare, Inc. (“Previcare”). As previously disclosed on February
12, 2020, Magnetic North controls 32% of Previcare, a healthcare
company focused on assisting its customers to protect themselves
during, and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since the initial spread of COVID-19, world-wide
supply chain dislocation has negatively impacted the Personal
Protective Equipment (“PPE”) industry’s ability to serve surging
demand. Previcare has worked closely with its suppliers to largely
overcome these issues and is shipping, both in bulk and in various
size formats, to its customers with production levels ramping
continuously.
Previcare’s product offering includes the
ability to supply disinfectant wipes, which continue to see massive
demand at the same time as there is a significant worldwide
shortfall of supply. From a regulatory standpoint, over the past
year Previcare has secured US Environmental Protection Agency
(“EPA”) and Health Canada registrations for its disinfectant wipes
and US Federal Drug Administration (“FDA”) and Health Canada
registrations for its hand sanitizer products; without these
product registrations, no sales can be made into the Canadian or US
markets.
Jeffrey Fredenburgh, President
of Previcare stated, “Previcare’s focus on securing multi-source
manufacturing for its sanitizer and disinfectant products,
supported by certifying each active ingredient that goes into every
batch, provides a competitive advantage for the company as a number
of non-regulatory compliant PPE products are being recalled
worldwide.”
Kevin Spall, Co-CEO of Magnetic
North added, “With the global economy facing significant re-opening
challenges, Previcare has identified several broader customer
product needs. There is a large demand for some PPE products with
an offsetting limited supply, and Previcare has positioned itself
well to provide an even broader range of PPE protection against
deadly pathogens over the coming months and years.”
As the world continues to navigate a number of
re-opening efforts, new and existing customers are engaged with
Previcare to assist them in securing a broader range of PPE and
other therapeutics. Previcare is actively negotiating a series of
potential large PPE transactions with existing suppliers. While
there is no certainty that these transactions will be completed,
Previcare, through Magnetic North, will share the specifics of each
transaction upon completion.
