Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 7, 2026, Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (the "Company") entered into inducement offer letter agreements (each, an "Inducement Letter") with certain holders (each, a "Holder") of existing common stock purchase warrants (the "Existing Warrants") to purchase up to an aggregate of 453,969 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"). The Existing Warrants were originally issued to the Holders on February 16, 2024, with an original exercise price of $32.78 per share, on October 16, 2024, with an original exercise price of $45.90 per share, on September 29, 2025, with an original exercise price of $20.55 per share, and on December 16, 2025, with an original exercise price of $17.85 per share. Pursuant to the Inducement Letters, such Holders immediately exercised their respective outstanding Existing Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 453,969 shares of Common Stock, at a reduced exercise price of $12.92 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from the exercise of the Existing Warrants were approximately $5.9 million, prior to deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses.

 

In consideration for the immediate exercise of the Existing Warrants for cash, the Company agreed to issue: (i) new unregistered Series A Common Stock purchase warrants (the "Series A Warrants") to purchase up to an aggregate of 453,969 shares of Common Stock, which Series A Warrants will have an exercise price of $12.67 per share, will be immediately exercisable and will have a term of five (5) years from the Effective Date (as defined in the Inducement Letter); and (ii) new unregistered short-term Series B Common Stock purchase warrants (the "Series B Warrants," and together with the Series A Warrants, the "New Warrants") to purchase up to an aggregate of 453,969 shares of Common Stock, which Series B Warrants will have an exercise price of $12.67 per share, will be immediately exercisable and will have a term of eighteen (18) months from the Effective Date.

 

The Inducement Letters also provided that in the event that any exercise of the Existing Warrants would otherwise cause the Holder to exceed a beneficial ownership limitation equal to 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise (which may be increased to 9.99% upon at least 61 days' prior notice to the Company) (the "Beneficial Ownership Limitation"), the Company shall only issue such number of shares of Common Stock to the Holder on exercise of the Existing Warrants that would not cause the Holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, with the balance shares to be held in abeyance until notice from the Holder that the balance (or portion thereof) may be issued in compliance with such limitations.

 

The Company engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC ("Placement Agent") as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the transactions summarized above and has agreed to pay the Placement Agent a fee equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds received from the Holders' exercise of their Existing Warrants. The Company also issued to the Placement Agent or its designees warrants to purchase up to 15,889 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $16.15 per share (the "Placement Agent Warrants"). The closing of the transactions described above is expected to occur on September 9, 2026 (the "Closing Date"), subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from these transactions for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The shares of Common Stock underlying the Existing Warrants have been registered pursuant to existing registration statements on Form S-1 (File No. 333-277863), Form S-3 (File No. 333-283484), Form S-1 (File No. 333-290862), and Form S-1 (File No. 333-292469).

 

Pursuant to the Inducement Letters, the Company also agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or Form S-1 if the Company is not then S-3 eligible) providing for the resale of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the New Warrants (the "Resale Registration Statement"), within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the Inducement Letters, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Resale Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC within forty-five (45) calendar days (or within sixty (60) calendar days in the event of a "full review") and to keep the Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until no holder of the New Warrants owns any New Warrants or shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of the New Warrants.
