Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (OTCQX:LXRP,CSE:LXX) (the ”Company” or ”Lexaria”) announces that, on January 5, 2018, it filed a registration statement and shareholder information circular on Form S-4 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the ”SEC”) pursuant to which Lexaria will seek shareholder approval to change its corporate domicile from the State of Nevada to the Province of British Columbia, Canada, home of Lexaria’s operations and management.

Chris Bunka, CEO and Chairman, commented, ”The filing of the S-4 registration statement is the culmination of a long period of research and consideration by Lexaria’s management and board of directors. We look forward to working constructively with the SEC through its review of the S-4 and hope to announce a shareholder vote in a timely fashion.”
