Lexaria thanks its shareholders for their overwhelming support as the Company continues to make significant progress in pursuing its objectives.
Lexaria has recently been informed by tax experts that a certain class of shareholders may be adversely affected by punitive taxes upon the conversion of the Company from US-based to Canadian-based. As a result, the planned redomiciling from the USA to Canada has been placed on indefinite hold until such time as a solution to the inequitable tax treatment can be resolved. This may result in the plan of conversion taking place at a later time if a tax solution can eventually be realized, or not at all if equitable tax treatment cannot be obtained.
The previously announced corporate reorganization is proceeding on schedule and has been expanded. Lexaria is forming four new wholly-owned subsidiaries, one each for the pharmaceutical, nicotine, hemp, and cannabis industries. The division recognizing separate industry sectors is expected to greatly assist in their evolution and growth including but not limited to research and development and finance.
Lexaria’s large and growing intellectual property portfolio anchored by the DehydraTECHTM patented absorption technology will be utilized by each subsidiary with applications related to each particular industry sector.
