Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP) will conduct a comprehensive series of clinical studies on oral forms of nicotine delivery utilizing its DehydraTECH absorption platform. Under an investment agreement by its wholly owned subsidiary, Lexaria Nicotine LLC, a partner will provide $1 million toward research on nicotine consumer products that use DehydraTECH (http://cnw.fm/DnlA2).
Lexaria’s partner will receive certain licensing rights to commercialize these DehydraTECH products exclusively in the United States and non-exclusively on a global scale. The partner, which will have the option to provide up to $12 million in additional funding to underwrite LXRP’s R&D, will pay LXRP a royalty on sales. The partner company will receive minority equity in the subsidiary and future rights to purchase a 100 percent interest in Lexaria Nicotine LLC at then-current fair market value, but not in LXRP itself.
In a news release, LXRP CEO Chris Bunka said, “This partnership will provide significant benefits to Lexaria Bioscience and its shareholders with a world-class R&D program and regulatory compliance process.”
