Full Press Release Details
Lexaria Announces Change of CFO and Director, and Corporate
Kelowna, BC / April 27, 2016 / Lexaria Corp. (OTCQB:LXRP)
(CSE:LXX) (the Company ) provides the following update.
Ms. Bal Bhullar is resigning as CFO and Director of Lexaria
effective April 29. Bal has been CFO of Lexaria for over 8 years and is leaving
the Company to pursue other opportunities. Lexaria wishes her every possible
success in the future. Chris Bunka will be named as interim CFO for what is
expected to be a short period of time as the Company evaluates several
candidates, and positions itself for long-term growth.
Mr. John Docherty, President of Lexaria Corp, is being
appointed a director of the Company effective April 29. John is well known to
Lexaria stakeholders and is a highly regarded member of the Lexaria team.
Lexaria welcomes John s increased role with the Company.
Meanwhile the technology licensing agreement LOI announced on
March 22, 2016, continues to advance towards a definitive agreement and
negotiations continue. Simultaneously, the Company has entered negotiations on a
second technology licensing agreement with a separate third-party company, and
is in discussion for even more licensing agreements with others. As is true in
all negotiations, there can be no assurance that any definitive agreement will
be reached, although our expectation is that we will have additional
developments to report soon.
Also, the Lexaria Protein-Energy bars continue to attract a
great deal of attention. The Company has developed improved recipe formulations
based on extensive discussions with our customers and vendors. The existing bars
have received an enthusiastic reception and have been repeatedly complimented.
Lexaria is not content however, and the new recipes will feature lower fat,
lower sodium, lower natural sugars, increased fiber and other improvements,
while maintaining the superior taste profile that consumers have come to expect
from Lexaria. The new formulations should be available by early Summer, 2016.
Finally, at our recent Annual General Meeting, shareholders
voted overwhelmingly in favor of the proposed change in name to Lexaria
Bioscience Corp. That name change is now being made effective.
Lexaria Corp is a food sciences company
focused on the delivery of active compounds that can behave as superfoods
through its proprietary infusion technologies. Lexaria s technology enables
higher bioavailability rates for CBD; THC; NSAIDs; Nicotine and other molecules
than is possible without lipophilic enhancement technology. This can allow for
lower overall dosing requirements and/or higher effectiveness in active molecule
delivery. Lexaria hopes to reduce other common but less healthy ingestion methods such as smoking
as it embraces the benefits of public health. www.lexariaenergy.com
