American Marconi Wireless News - Lexaria Bioscience Corp. Announces Closing of $4.0 Million Registered Direct Offering Priced At-the-Market Under Nasdaq Rules

"This financing is intended to provide Lexaria with greater optionality for our 2026 R&D and business development plans," said Richard Christopher, CEO of Lexaria Bioscience Corp. "Most of our study work requires signed contracts prior to ever beginning, therefore we are constantly evaluating our future funding needs. This financing is intended to allow us to bring our plans for 2026 into focus and execute on R&D, which drives our intellectual property and ultimately the value of our Company. In this way, successful financings work towards building shareholder value."

H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as the exclusive placement agent for the offering.

The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the offering were approximately $4.0 million, before deducting the placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The shares of common stock (but not the warrants issued in the private placement or the shares of common stock underlying such warrants) were offered by the Company pursuant to a "shelf" registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-284407) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 30, 2025. The registered direct offering of the shares of common stock was made only by means of a prospectus, including a prospectus supplement, forming a part of the effective registration statement. The prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the securities offered in the registered direct offering were filed with the SEC and are available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Electronic copies of the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the registered direct offering may also be obtained by contacting H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC at 430 Park Avenue, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10022, by telephone at (212) 856-5711 or e-mail at [email protected].

The warrants described above were issued in a concurrent private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and, along with the shares of common stock underlying the warrants, have not been registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the warrants and underlying shares of common stock may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
