VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW)
(FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the "Company") announced today that the Company has signed a commercial royalty-bearing
license agreement (the “License”) with Nomad Nutrition Limited (“Nomad”), a Canadian company focused on the development and
commercialization of premium shelf-stable, nutrient-packed gourmet products that are made from locally sourced organic ingredients.
Nomad also signed an Equipment Purchase Agreement (the “EPA”) to obtain an introductory-scale Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”)
machine for immediate commercial production.
Nomad has agreed to pay EnWave an undisclosed royalty on the revenue derived from the sales of their products in
exchange for the exclusive right to manufacture their specific products in Canada using REV™ technology.
Prior to signing the License, Nomad was using EnWave’s pilot plant facility to toll manufacture its line of
innovative and healthy ready-to-eat meals. After successfully launching Hungarian Goulash, Indian Red Lentil Stew, Kathmandu Curry
and Irish Shepard’s Pie meals, Nomad determined that the business opportunity justified investing in their own REV™ machinery.
This commercial license agreement is EnWave’s first in the ready-to-eat meal market vertical.

About EnWave
EnWave Corporation, a Vancouver-based advanced technology company, has developed Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) – an innovative,
proprietary method for the precise dehydration of organic materials. REV™ technology’s commercial viability has been demonstrated
and is growing rapidly across several market verticals in the food and pharmaceutical sectors including medical cannabis.
EnWave’s strategy is to sign royalty-bearing commercial licenses with industry leaders in multiple verticals for
the use of REV™ technology. The company has signed over twenty royalty-bearing licenses to date, opening up nine distinct market
sectors for commercialization of new and innovative products. In addition to these licenses, EnWave has formed a Limited Liability
Partnership, NutraDried LLP, to develop, manufacture, market and sell all-natural cheese snack products in the United States under
the Moon Cheese® brand.
EnWave has introduced REV™ as the new dehydration standard in the food and biological material sectors: faster
and cheaper than freeze drying, with better end product quality than air drying or spray drying. EnWave currently has three
commercial REV™ platforms:
- nutraREV® which is used in the food industry to dry food products quickly and at low-cost, while
maintaining high levels of nutrition, taste, texture and colour;
- powderREV® which is used for the bulk dehydration of food cultures, probiotics and fine biochemicals such
as enzymes below the freezing point, and
- quantaREV® which is used for continuous, high-volume low-temperature drying.
An additional platform, freezeREV®, is being developed as a new method to stabilize and
dehydrate biopharmaceuticals such as vaccines and antibodies. More information about EnWave is available at www.enwave.net.
