EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the “Company”), a global leader in vacuum microwave dehydration technology, announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a plan to license the Company’s proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV^TM”) into the U.S. cannabis market through a wholly-owned American subsidiary.

As a supplier of equipment that embodies years of research and development, patented innovation, know-how and, particularly, a recent process patent specifically for the drying and decontamination of cannabis, the U.S. market presents a significant opportunity to EnWave. Over the past several months, the Company, in association with its U.S. counsel, Canadian counsel and the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), has conducted extensive legal and regulatory due diligence. This included assessments of cross-border issues and compliance with U.S. federal laws, which concluded that EnWave may proceed with its expansion strategy into the U.S. market in compliance with applicable U.S. federal laws.

EnWave has also received assurances from the TSXV that its planned business expansion into the U.S. cannabis market will not affect the continued listing of the Company’s securities on the TSXV, subject to certain conditions that the Company believes it can satisfy.

EnWave’s proprietary dehydration technology provides a distinct value proposition to cannabis and hemp producers, including faster drying, higher precision and reduces cost. The Company only plans to license its technology to companies that operate within legalized frameworks at State, Municipal and other non-federal regulatory levels.

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, legal cannabis and pharmaceutical sectors. 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 eight 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:
1.    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; and
2.    quantaREV® which is used for continuous, high-volume low-temperature drying.
