In November 2018, Nutritional Medicinals, LLC (d.b.a. "Functional Formularies" or the “Company") announced a majority recapitalization transaction with Swander Pace Capital.
Founded in 2006 by professional chef and nutrition expert Robin Gentry McGee, Functional Formularies is the leading provider of organic, whole food, shelf-stable feeding tube formulas. Ms. Gentry McGee created the Company after searching unsuccessfully for natural alternatives to traditional feeding tube formulas to help her father when he was faced with life threatening health issues. The Company offers unique, organic, and whole food alternatives to traditional feeding tube formulas. Liquid Hope and Nourish are nutritionally complete, plant-based, and USDA-certified organic. The Company offers its products to retail customers online and to institutional customers in hospital and long-term care settings.
Duff & Phelps served as exclusive M&A advisor to Functional Formularies in connection with the transaction.
