Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ:LEXX)(NASDAQ:LEXXW) (the "Company" or "Lexaria"), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms announces that it has entered into an advertising and media agreement (the "Contract") for media buys and digital marketing with SRAX, Inc. ("SRAX

"Lexaria is pleased to be working with SRAX to inform and engage a broad investor community in this significant, year-long media outreach campaign," said Chris Bunka, CEO of Lexaria Bioscience. "Lexaria has made tremendous progress during 2021 and we expect even more significant advancement in 2022 and are pursuing the broadest possible investor involvement to ensure that Lexaria's achievements are communicated to all investors."

Lexaria is planning for 2022 to be its busiest year ever, with major studies and events already announced that include:

• a six-week human clinical hypertension study to evaluate DehydraTECH-CBD for possible relief of hypertension;
• an industry-leading oral nicotine human study including both subjective evaluation and objective blood measurements expected to demonstrate the superiority of DehydraTECH-nicotine compared to leading industry products;
• a program of animal studies designed to evaluate DehydraTECH-CBD for seizure relief and comparison against the only existing FDA-approved CBD medication currently in use for treatment of certain seizure disorders; and
• our expectation of completing a pre-IND meeting with the FDA, and subsequently filing an IND application, for registered clinical trial testing of DehydraTECH-CBD for hypertension.

Along with those major studies Lexaria will also be conducting a number of pharmacokinetic studies designed to provide potential early-stage indications of enhancing delivery characteristics of various drugs for potential future use. In aggregate, the quantity of work to be performed demands the maximum visibility possible to the investor community and therefore should be maximized with a sustained and intelligent marketing campaign.

Pursuant to the Contract, SRAX will act as the agent for Lexaria and will engage and manage media companies to create advertising materials and distribute them on internet platforms and manage the flow of such media distributions (the "Services"). SRAX will employ leading-edge analytical algorithms to maximize engagement. As consideration for the Services, Lexaria will issue SRAX an aggregate 224,299 restricted common shares from its authorized share capital (the "Shares") at a deemed price of $5.35 per share for an aggregate value of $1,200,000.
