• Expands DehydraTECH™ B2B manufacturing capabilities to support Lexaria's growing corporate customer base
• Lexaria to also receive royalty revenue from DehydraTECH product sales through BevNology's commercial license rights

KELOWNA, BC / June 21, 2022 / Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ:LEXX)(NASDAQ:LEXXW) (the "Company" or "Lexaria"), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms is pleased to announce the signing of two agreements with Atlanta-based BevNology LLC ("BevNology").

The first agreement is a manufacturing operating agreement that expands production capabilities for Lexaria's own growing list of business-to-business ("B2B") clientele interested in purchasing DehydraTECH-powered active ingredients for consumer packaged-goods brands. A new, state-of-the-art processing facility custom-built by BevNology is operational that increases and broadens production capacity and is currently serving Lexaria's corporate clients. Lexaria has moved and installed all required commercial DehydraTECH manufacturing equipment into BevNology's new facility as it prepares for future growth in its B2B ingredient processing business.

The second agreement is a commercial license agreement that empowers BevNology to offer DehydraTECH products with active ingredients derived from hemp including cannabidiol ("CBD") under BevNology and partnered brands. For powdered DehydraTECH formulations this agreement is non-exclusive. For liquid DehydraTECH formulations, where BevNology has highly specialized skills and capabilities, the license is non-exclusive in most areas of the world but includes limited exclusivity rights in the United States only, that require certain minimum fee payments in order to maintain those rights. Lexaria will receive royalties from BevNology as a result of their utilization of this license. The only countries specifically excluded under this license are Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the People's Republic of China.

"We are very excited about this expanded partnership with Lexaria, which will further strengthen our longtime relationship as well as boost our development and manufacturing capabilities through the addition of our new facility. This will allow us to expand our product and service offerings," said Gonzalo de Aristegui, partner and co-founder of Bevnology.

Founded 10 years ago by Louis Heinsz and Gonzalo de Aristegui, Bevnology is the product development and manufacturing arm of IBC (InterContinental Beverage Capital). It operates a state of the art lab and manufacturing facility outside Atlanta, Georgia

"These agreements build on a long standing and very successful product development consulting relationship between Lexaria and the expert scientists and personnel at BevNology," said Chris Bunka, CEO of Lexaria. "BevNology's formulation and production capabilities are class leading and we are confident that our new relationship with our trusted partner will propel new and exciting growth opportunities for both companies."

Bevnology has advanced capabilities that support best-in-class beverage formulations and, together with Lexaria's superior technology, could make industry-leading beverage products a reality for many brands. Lexaria's DehydraTECH^TM-CBD nanoemulsification formulation and processing techniques exhibited exceptional stability one year after production with less than 1% variability in CBD potency in fractions sampled from the top, middle and bottom of the beverage formulation without physical mixing or agitation; and, CBD content was verified at 93.4% of target potency and also evidenced excellent microbial purity after 12 months.

The latest stability testing occurred 25 months after originally bottling, with slightly higher variability but still retaining an average 78% of originally formulated CBD. As well, the microbiologic purity and cleanliness of the product exceeded all requirements 25 months after bottling.

Lexaria's DehydraTECH technology has been embraced by several consumer-packaged goods brands currently available in over 7,000 stores in the US and Japan, as well as through direct-to-consumer online retail portals.

KELOWNA, BC / June 6, 2022 / Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (Nasdaq:LEXX)(Nasdaq:LEXXW) (the "Company" or "Lexaria"), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms is pleased to announce it has successfully filed a pre-Investigational New Drug ("IND") meeting request letter with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). The FDA has already responded to and confirmed Lexaria's filing. A target date of July 30, 2022, has been provided to Lexaria, subject to certain conditions being met.

The request for a pre-IND meeting formally initiates communications with the FDA regarding development of Lexaria's DehydraTECH-CBD for the treatment of hypertension. The purpose of the pre-IND meeting will be to confirm the details and acceptability of Lexaria's ongoing IND-enabling development program to be completed thereafter prior to proceeding with its full IND application filing expected in late 2022 / early 2023.

"We are excited to take this important first regulatory step with the FDA for the development of our DehydraTECH-CBD for the treatment of hypertension," said John Docherty, President of Lexaria. "Submission of this request letter initiates formal communication with the FDA regarding our IND clinical trial plans, in order to help define the critical path for clinical development and marketing approval of our potentially very significant new hypertension therapeutic."

In pre-clinical and exploratory clinical studies conducted to-date, Lexaria has repeatedly evidenced efficacy in utilizing DehydraTECH-CBD to reduce blood pressure while avoiding negative serious adverse effects. Efficacy and lack of negative side effects are two major objectives of FDA-registered clinical studies.

Lexaria will update progress on its FDA program for DehydraTECH-CBD when there are material developments.

About DehydraTECH-CBD

DehydraTECH-CBD is a unique CBD formulation Lexaria has developed and is optimizing based on its patented and proprietary DehydraTECH drug delivery technology. DehydraTECH is designed to improve the way active molecules enter the bloodstream upon oral ingestion. DehydraTECH has also demonstrated enhanced delivery of certain active molecules including CBD into brain tissue, which Lexaria believes to be of particular importance for the effectiveness of its DehydraTECH-CBD specifically against hypertension because of the significant influence of central mediation upon blood pressure. Lexaria has also developed DehydraTECH-CBD formulations for other applications demonstrating superior bio-absorption when administered intraorally and topically.

Hypertension Markets

The hypertension market is valued at $28 billion per year and is expected to continue growing as one of the world's top health problems and as a subset of the larger heart disease market. Geographically, some of the highest rates of growth are expected in more recently industrialized nations such as China and India. Over 1.1 billion people worldwide suffer from hypertension.

Fewer than 1 person in 4 with hypertension have successfully controlled their blood pressure through medications, meaning the potential market for hypertension drugs is much larger than $28 billion per year if an affordable drug was available with few or no side effects. Lexaria believes that its DehydraTECH-CBD may introduce a more tolerable anti-hypertensive treatment option that may be used alone or in combination with other medications, to reduce blood pressure with fewer discouraging and unwanted side effects. Lexaria would seek to satisfy this currently unmet demand and in doing so could expand the overall hypertension market.

Among persons 50 years of age or older, isolated systolic hypertension is the most common form of hypertension, and systolic blood pressure becomes more important than diastolic blood pressure as an independent risk predictor for coronary events, stroke, heart failure, and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The Global Burden of Disease Study identified elevated blood pressure as the leading risk factor, among 67 studied, for death and disability-adjusted life-years lost during 2010.

Drugs focused on blood pressure and related conditions are some of the highest selling drugs in the world. Lipitor, used to treat high cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease, has generated $94.7 billion in revenue from 1992 until 2017. Plavix, used to prevent heart attack and stroke, has sold $46.5 billion from 1992 until 2017. There are several hypertension drugs that each generate $1 billion per year or more in revenue.

• Minimum payments due to Lexaria of US$4,527,500 over the first five years to retain exclusivity
• Lexaria to receive royalty revenue from DehydraTECH product sales

KELOWNA, BC / June 2, 2022 / Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ:LEXX) (NASDAQ:LEXXW) (the "Company" or "Lexaria"), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms is pleased to announce a significant exclusive* commercial licensing agreement (the "Agreement") in Japan with Premier Wellness Science Co., Ltd., ("Premier").

Under the terms of the Agreement, Premier is purchasing the rights to DehydraTECH technology for the Japanese non-pharmaceutical market for use with CBD and hemp ingredients in oral liquid and non-liquid products, as well as for topical, hair-care, lip-care and cosmetics products. Premier is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Premier Anti-Aging Co., Ltd. ("Parent") which is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers division with securities code 4934.

"Premier conducted a global competition to evaluate the world's most advanced molecule delivery technologies, and selected Lexaria's DehydraTECH technology based on its superior performance and the extensive data available through Lexaria's years of testing," said Shinji Shosoyama, CEO of Premier.

"Lexaria is delighted to be working with Premier Wellness Science which we expect will dominate the newly opening Japanese market for CBD-based products," said Chris Bunka, CEO of Lexaria. "Premier and Lexaria share similar philosophies, such as the provision of world-leading products created through scientific advantages and placing the consumer's needs ahead of our own. We could not have found a better partner with which to introduce DehydraTECH-enabled products to the Japanese markets."

In order to retain ongoing exclusivity, the negotiated minimum quarterly payments ("Payments") to Lexaria begin September 1, 2022 and, during the first five years of the Agreement, amount to US$4,527,500. Assuming that Premier continues to submit all required payments, the license for the Japanese market is perpetual.

In addition to the Payments, Lexaria will also receive royalty revenue from DehydraTECH licensed product sales, the terms of which have been agreed to. Total revenue is expected to be significantly greater than the minimum Payments if Premier is capable of meeting its expected revenue targets. If Premier achieves even their worst-case projected penetration into the Japanese non-pharmaceutical CBD market, then based on their projections Lexaria could expect to receive annual payments of over $5 million by the fifth year of the contract.

Premier's Parent had revenues of approximately US$187,000,000 in the first three quarters of fiscal 2021 with year-over-year revenue growth of 63.1% and strong profit margins. Parent sells over 45 product SKU's across four brands, and these products are sold in more than 16,000 retail stores as well as directly through mail/web order to over 2.6 million proprietary members. The overall Japanese cosmetics and personal products markets are estimated to be more than US$35 billion in annual sales.

As well, Lexaria and Premier have agreed to examine on a case-by-case basis the possibility of entering research and development collaborations related to advanced formulation science. Premier and Parent have long-established scientific relationships with some of the leading scientists in relevant fields in Japan.

This Agreement with Premier follows the awarding of two issued patents by the Japan Patent Office for DehydraTECH technology in Japan, strengthening Lexaria's long-held beliefs that new patent protection is a vital component of entering commercial agreements.

*The exclusive rights are subject to two previously issued licenses for use of DehydraTECH in Japan, which remain valid. Lexaria will not be issuing any further licenses in Japan for non-pharmaceutical cannabinoid products.
