Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
A copy of the news release dated November 15, 2016 announcing dramatic price cuts on all ViPovaTM tea products, just in time for the busiest shopping season of the year is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report and is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On November 15, 2016, Lexaria announced price cuts on all ViPovaTM tea products, just in time for the busiest shopping season of the year.
Effective immediately, all ViPovaTM black and herbal teas have new lower retail prices of just US$15.99 for a box of 16 teabags, always fortified with full spectrum hemp oil that utilizes Lexarias patented absorption and taste enhancing technology. Previously, 16 teabags were priced at US$48, making this a price reduction of 73%.
Lexaria is committed to always placing its customers first, and to share efficiencies. These price cuts are a reflection of two trends: First, wholesale bulk prices of commercial quantities of full spectrum hemp oil have declined significantly in the past year, and Lexaria is passing those savings on to its customers. Second, Lexarias manufacturing and formulation efficiencies have advanced, resulting in lower costs of production.
