SEPTEMBER 30, 2019,6:00 AM

EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the “Company”) today provides an update on the commercialization efforts of Bonduelle Group (“Bonduelle”), a long-time royalty partner of the Company.

Bonduelle introduced its InFlavor brand of premium frozen vegetables to many food service clients in early 2019, generating material commercial interest including receiving The Grande Enterprise award for its revolutionary InFlavor process from ADRIQ.  Based on Bonduelle’s positive commercial momentum, EnWave had previously agreed to extend Bonduelle’s exclusivity period to use its Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) technology for the production of dehydrofrozen vegetables in North America until September 30, 2019. This extension included a requirement to purchase a commercial-scale 400kW REV™ machine prior to the aforementioned date.

In July, and following its initial introduction to the food service industry, Bonduelle launched the InFlavor dehydrofrozen line of vegetables in North America through its well-known Arctic Garden retail brand.  Arctic Garden products are now available to consumers at retailers across Canada in fajita mix, pizza mix and diced onion varieties. This direct-to-consumer initiative aims to justify the potential purchase of additional REV™ dehydration machines from EnWave in the near future, but will not do so before September 30, 2019.

Bonduelle remains committed to the commercialization of its unique and premium InFlavor product portfolio. With the launch of InFlavor into the food service and retail verticals recently underway; Bonduelle has delayed its prospective commitment to an additional REV™ purchase order. This delay triggers the conversion of its royalty-bearing license to be non-exclusive and thus allows EnWave to now pursue additional partners in the same product area. Bonduelle will continue to build market demand for the InFlavor line and pay an undisclosed royalty on all REV^TM products produced under its commercial license agreement with EnWave.

Both parties plan to continue their strong collaboration and work towards increased commercial success that will support further investment in REV™ drying capacity.

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.
