Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (OTCQX: LXRP) (CSE: LXX) (the “Company” or “Lexaria”) a drug delivery platform innovator, announces it has entered a definitive technology licensing agreement (the “Agreement”) with Cannfections Group Inc. whereby Lexaria is providing its patented DehydraTECHTM technology to empower next-generation performance in cannabis infused chocolates and candies to be developed and sold in Canada and internationally.

Cannfections Group Inc. is an infused chocolate and gummies contract manufacturer that has been newly established by one of Canada’s leading chocolate companies with over eighty-five years of experience in producing high quality chocolate and confectionary products that meet the industry’s strictest quality requirements, as a pending entrant into the Licensed Producer program for cannabis infused products. The founders of Cannfections currently manufacture chocolate retail products for several leading international and domestic chocolate brands.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Lexaria can offer other licensee partners the option of utilizing Cannfection’s formulation and manufacturing expertise to produce cannabis infused, DehydraTECH™-powered chocolates and gummies where approved. This Agreement is expected to lead to new product entries for Canadian cannabis edibles, and exportation to the increasing number of other international markets where permitted around the world. The term of the agreement is seven years.

“By licensing our technology to Cannfections, Lexaria can now offer its commercial clients the expertise of one of Canada’s oldest and most established chocolatiers utilizing next-generation DehydraTECHTM technology,” said Chief Executive Officer Chris Bunka. “This is a long term strategic relationship meant to offer technology, value and expertise to Licensed Producers wanting to offer the highest quality chocolate edibles available in Canada once permitted under Health Canada regulations.”

Lexaria’s patented DehydraTECH™ technology is focused on improved delivery methodologies of many commonly used active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) substances. As such, it provides an additional layer of effectiveness that is designed to harmonize with the intellectual property of third parties. Both patented and generic API substances can utilize Lexaria’s patented technology. Lexaria’s long term strategy is to partner with the world’s leading firms as they deliver best-of-class products to their existing large consumer groups.

Lexaria is presently investigating and will continue to pursue additional technologies that could deliver value to its growing portfolio of patented technologies.
