In This Article:

  • Expands DehydraTECH™ B2B manufacturing capabilities to support Lexaria's growing corporate customer base

  • Lexaria to also receive royalty revenue from DehydraTECH product sales through BevNology's commercial license rights

KELOWNA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 21, 2022 / Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ:LEXX)(NASDAQ:LEXXW) (the "Company" or "Lexaria"), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms is pleased to announce the signing of two agreements with Atlanta-based BevNology LLC ("BevNology").

The first agreement is a manufacturing operating agreement that expands production capabilities for Lexaria's own growing list of business-to-business ("B2B") clientele interested in purchasing DehydraTECH-powered active ingredients for consumer packaged-goods brands. A new, state-of-the-art processing facility custom-built by BevNology is operational that increases and broadens production capacity and is currently serving Lexaria's corporate clients. Lexaria has moved and installed all required commercial DehydraTECH manufacturing equipment into BevNology's new facility as it prepares for future growth in its B2B ingredient processing business.

The second agreement is a commercial license agreement that empowers BevNology to offer DehydraTECH products with active ingredients derived from hemp including cannabidiol ("CBD") under BevNology and partnered brands. For powdered DehydraTECH formulations this agreement is non-exclusive. For liquid DehydraTECH formulations, where BevNology has highly specialized skills and capabilities, the license is non-exclusive in most areas of the world but includes limited exclusivity rights in the United States only, that require certain minimum fee payments in order to maintain those rights. Lexaria will receive royalties from BevNology as a result of their utilization of this license. The only countries specifically excluded under this license are Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the People's Republic of China.

"We are very excited about this expanded partnership with Lexaria, which will further strengthen our longtime relationship as well as boost our development and manufacturing capabilities through the addition of our new facility. This will allow us to expand our product and service offerings," said Gonzalo de Aristegui, partner and co-founder of Bevnology.

Founded 10 years ago by Louis Heinsz and Gonzalo de Aristegui, Bevnology is the product development and manufacturing arm of IBC (InterContinental Beverage Capital). It operates a state of the art lab and manufacturing facility outside Atlanta, Georgia
