Lexaria Closes Sale of Non-Pharmaceutical THC-Related Assets

Asset Sale in Preparation for Potential US National Securities Exchange Listing

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (OTCQX:LXRP)(CSE:LXX) (the "Company" or "Lexaria"), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, announces that it has closed the sale of its non-pharmaceutical THC-related assets ("the Assets") held within Lexaria Canpharm ULC, a Lexaria wholly-owned subsidiary, to Hill Street Beverage Company Inc. ("Hill Street") (BEER) as first announced on November 19, 2020

The total agreed-upon purchase price for the Assets is $3,850,000. Lexaria has received $350,000 in cash (all prices in CDN$), 6,031,363 restricted common shares of Hill Street at a deemed price of $0.0829 per share as the first required equity-based payment, a promissory note having a principal amount of $2,000,000 and bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum, and a limited license to use the DehydraTECHTM technology outside of Canada and the US for certain non-pharmaceutical, therapeutic and medicinal products that contain 0.3% or greater THC. Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, Lexaria will receive another $1,000,000 worth of common shares of Hill Street over the next sixteen months.

Lexaria retains ownership of the DehydraTECH technology (which Hill Street has acquired the right to use and sublicense for THC-related purposes) and all pharmaceutical applications of THC and other psychoactive cannabinoids. This transaction has no relevance on Lexaria's separate CBD business nor any other Lexaria business division.

Hill Street intends to begin commercializing the intellectual property immediately through both licensing and B2B sales, as well as utilize Lexaria's proprietary DehydraTECH process in its own brands while continuing to work with the existing THC licensee contracts it has now assumed from Lexaria. "We believe this acquisition positions us to become both the taste and experience leader in Cannabis 2.0 products," said Terry Donnelly, Chairman and CEO of Hill Street.

"We can't wait to see what Hill Street has up their sleeves with the full power of DehydraTECH supporting them," said Chris Bunka, Chairman and CEO of Lexaria. "Lexaria is actively preparing to focus on working with global leaders in the delivery of drugs and active ingredients for treatment of conditions such as hypertension and viral diseases, together with its ongoing programs to develop superior non-combusted, oral forms of nicotine."

The Asset sale was one of the larger objectives necessary to be met as Lexaria seeks to list its securities on a national US securities exchange, and Lexaria will report on developments related to that objective as they unfold.

About Lexaria

Lexaria Bioscience Corp.'s (OTCQX: LXRP, CSE: LXX) proprietary drug delivery technology, DehydraTECHâ„¢, improves the way active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) enter the bloodstream by promoting healthier oral ingestion methods and increasing the effectiveness of fat-soluble active molecules, thereby lowering overall dosing. The Company's technology can be applied to many different ingestible product formats, including foods, beverages, oral suspensions, tablets, and capsules. DehydraTECH has repeatedly demonstrated since 2016 with cannabinoids and nicotine the ability to increase bio-absorption by up to 5-10x, reduce time of onset from 1 - 2 hours to minutes, and mask unwanted tastes; and is planned to be further evaluated for orally administered bioactive molecules, including anti-virals, cannabinoids, vitamins, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and nicotine. Lexaria has licensed DehydraTECH to multiple companies including a world-leading tobacco producer for the development of smokeless, oral-based nicotine products and for use in industries that produce cannabinoid beverages, edibles, and oral products. Lexaria operates a licensed in-house research laboratory and holds a robust intellectual property portfolio with 18 patents granted and approximately 60 patents pending worldwide.

Cardiex Announces Publication of Breakthrough Study Validating Noninvasive Fingertip Photoplethysmography  for Central Aortic Pressure Waveform Analysis

Cardiex Announces Publication of Breakthrough Study Validating Noninvasive Fingertip Photoplethysmography for Central Aortic Pressure Waveform Analysis

- Cardiex Limited (ASX: CDX), a global health technology company focused on cardiovascular diagnostics and arterial health solutions, today announced the publication of a peer-reviewed study validating its innovative method for measuring central aortic pressure—an important indicator of heart health—using a noninvasive fingertip sensor. The study, co-authored by Cardiex's team, was published in the respected journal Pulse.

Cardiex logo (PRNewsfoto/CardieX Limited)

The study, titled "Validation of Noninvasive Derivation of the Central Aortic Pressure Waveform from Fingertip Photoplethysmography Using a Novel Selective Transfer Function Method," demonstrates that Cardiex's technology can accurately capture key cardiovascular data from a simple fingertip sensor. The method leverages photoplethysmography (PPG)—an optical technique widely used in wearables such as fitness trackers and smartwatches—offering a powerful and accessible tool for advanced heart health monitoring.

Key findings include:

  • Strong correlation between fingertip sensor measurements and traditional methods, with heart health indicators showing excellent alignment.
  • The fingertip sensor offers a user-friendly, noninvasive way to measure central aortic pressure parameters without calibration, making heart health monitoring more accessible and comfortable.
  • Twenty clinically relevant parameters were captured from the converted PPG waveforms, including central systolic blood pressure, central diastolic blood pressure, central pulse pressure, central augmentation pressure, central augmentation index, subendocardial viability, and pulse pressure amplification, amongst others.

Relevance in the Wearable Health Market:

The use of PPG technology in this study is especially significant as the wearable market continues to expand, with consumers seeking more advanced health insights without the need for frequent calibration. Cardiex's innovation aligns with this trend offering consumers the ability to track clinical grade biomarkers in real-time. These biomarkers have applications in various healthcare fields, including cognitive, renal, maternal, metabolic health, and heart failure management. The technology's ease of use and capacity for continuous monitoring place Cardiex at the forefront of the growing wearable health sector, which increasingly prioritizes deeper and more accurate health data.

"This study is a significant validation of Cardiex's technology and its ability to deliver critical heart health insights in a simpler, more convenient way," said Craig Cooper , CEO of Cardiex. "Our PPG-based fingertip technology has the potential to transform heart health monitoring, offering a more accessible option for both patients and healthcare providers. This breakthrough also opens up exciting opportunities for integration into the wearable health tech market, where continuous and noninvasive monitoring is becoming the gold standard."

The study confirms that Cardiex's PPG-based solution can provide valuable cardiovascular data in a comfortable, portable format, paving the way for broader adoption in both medical and consumer-grade wearables.

The full study is now available online in the journal Pulse DOI: 10.1159/000540666.
