Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ:LEXX)(NASDAQ:LEXXW)(CSE:LXX) (the “Company” or “Lexaria”), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Al Reese, Jr., to its Board of Directors
Mr. Reese has over 40 years experience in public and private businesses including as CFO of a formerly Nasdaq-listed energy company where he arranged finance transactions totaling over $10 billion dollars during his 20-year tenure. Mr. Reese was a Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee of a community bank in Texas for ten years until such time as it was acquired by a larger banking group in 2018.
<p>Mr. Reese is a Certified Public Accountant (1974), and received his Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Texas A&M University in 1971, and his MBA from University of Houston in 1977. He has extensive experience at a senior level in financial services, finance transactions, investor relations, and more.</p>
<p>“It is a real privilege to join the team at Lexaria” comments Mr. Reese. “I’ve been familiar with Lexaria since inception and have seen this team’s determination to develop and commercialize the DehydraTECH<sup>TM</sup> technology. With the recent capital raise, Lexaria now has sufficient capital to conduct the studies and programs to continue to find new and expanded applications of DehydraTECH and other Lexaria opportunities. With the new capital and the right amount of capital discipline, Lexaria should have an excellent future. It is an honor to be part of it.”</p>
<p>“We are delighted to welcome Al Reese to our Board of Directors where he will add considerable financial industry and public company expertise,” said Chris Bunka, CEO and Chairman of the Board. “Al is also experienced in negotiating technology license agreements with companies in the US and internationally, and the Board of Directors looks forward to his guidance as Lexaria continues to evolve and pursue its strategic outlicensing business model.”</p>
<p>Separately, Lexaria also announces pursuant to its press release issued June 18, 2020, that it has been informed by the NIH that members of its Scientific Review Group for their National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) RFA-AI-20-028 – Partnerships for Countermeasures against Select Pathogens have met to consider the applications they received at which time Lexaria’s application was not discussed or scored. As such, it is not likely that Lexaria’s application will be funded relative to other applications they prioritized, although no definitive decision has yet been provided to Lexaria.</p>
<p>Many research grant applications do not receive funding because applications almost always greatly exceed available budgets, thus grants of this type generally enjoy roughly a 20% success rate*. As this grant application was an external add-on to Lexaria’s primary 2021 research objectives, it will have no effect on the Company’s core planned R&D objectives which are all fully funded.</p>

<h2>Mexico moves forward with medical cannabis</h2>
<p>This past week, the Mexican health ministry showed its intentions when it comes to cannabis policy, publishing its regulations for the medical use of the drug.</p>
<p>A Tuesday (January 12) <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mexico-cannabis/mexico-publishes-medicinal-cannabis-regulation-creating-new-market-idUSKBN29H2AG" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">report from Reuters</a> indicates the new policy was signed off on by Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.</p>
<p class="Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x">“(The regulation) is not aimed at patients growing their own cannabis, it is aimed at pharmaceutical companies producing pharmaceutical derivatives of cannabis which are classified as controlled substances that need prescription,” Luisa Conesa, a pro-cannabis lawyer in the country, told Reuters.</p>
<p>According to Conesa, the regulations will be very strict. While product imports will be allowed in some capacity, cannabis exports from Mexico won’t be permitted.</p>
<p>In addition to the new medical rules, the country plans to move ahead with recreational cannabis use reform in the near future.</p>
<h2>Cannabis CEOs among the highest paid in Canada</h2>
<p>A new <a href="https://www.policyalternatives.ca/sites/default/files/uploads/publications/National%20Office/2021/01/Golden%20cushion.pdf?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=INTL_20200113_NEWS_Weekly" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">market research review</a> from the Center for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) indicates that cannabis CEOs are seeing some of the biggest salaries across the board in Canada.</p>
<p>The study, <a href="https://mjbizdaily.com/cannabis-ceos-among-canadas-top-paid-executives-despite-losses/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=INTL_20200113_NEWS_Weekly" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">first reported by Marijuana Business Daily</a>, shows Canadian CEOs across all industries made 202 times what the average worker made in 2019; that’s down from 2018, when the difference was greater. The average pay for the nation’s top 100 CEOs in 2019 was C$10.8 million.</p>

<p>Irwin Simon, CEO of Aphria (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investingnews.com/stock-information/?symbol=VFF:US" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">APHA</a>,TSX:APHA), was the highest-paid cannabis CEO in Canada in 2019, repeating from 2018, with total compensation of C$18.4 million for the year.</p>
<p>The CCPA said it won’t know the numbers for 2020 until the spring, but projections are showing that leading CEOs continued to see high financial rewards.</p>
