KELOWNA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 18, 2015 / Lexaria Corp. (OTCQB: LXRP) (CSE: LXX) (the "Company" or "Lexaria") announces its Board of Directors has approved a forward stock split of 1.1 new shares for every existing common share held.

The forward stock split will take effect as soon as possible after application to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is made and approval received, and will result in a new CUSIP number being issued when the forward split is declared effective. All shareholders who own shares in the Company as of the effective date, which is expected near the middle of December, will receive 1.1 new shares for every 1.0 share they own as of that date, and commencing on that date the Company's shares will trade on a post-split basis.

There will be a mandatory conversion period to exchange all existing share positions, with a deadline to be announced. This action is expected to lead to higher liquidity and more transparent and efficient trading for shareholders. The Company is investigating additional actions it can take in the pursuit of an open and efficient marketplace for its shareholders.

Lexaria has undergone a remarkable corporate pivot that began in 2014 as it first examined methods of entering the legal cannabis sector and subsequently refined its focus to concentrate on methods of delivering higher absorption rates through edible consumption of certain molecules that include CBD and others.

The Company, together with its subsidiary ViPova(TM) Tea has rolled out 11 new consumer products over the past 8 months including tea, coffee, hot cocoa, and energy bars. The pace of new product development will now slow as the Company concentrates its efforts on access to sales and distribution channels.
