EnWave Signs a Commercial Royalty-Bearing Sublicense for Your Wasabi Farms to Dry Industrial Hemp in Canada
Vancouver, B.C., January 30, 2019 - EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the "Company" - http://www.commodity-tv.net/c/mid,39172,VRIC_2019/?v=298830) reports today that EnWave has signed a royalty-bearing commercial sublicense (the “Agreement”) with Your Wasabi Farms Ltd. (“YWF”), an existing royalty partner of EnWave. The Agreement grants YWF the right to use the Company’s proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) dehydration technology to dry cannabis plant material, enabling YWF to dry industrial hemp in Canada.
The Agreement represents a new alternative for the deployment of EnWave’s REV™ technology as Your Wasabi Farms will act as a toll processor, providing smaller licensed independent industrial hemp growers and large industrial hemp growers with capacity limitations with the ability to access EnWave’s, proprietary drying technology. YWF will utilize its installed REV™ equipment to initiate commercial toll-processing under the Agreement.
The Agreement enables YWF to expand its use of the EnWave equipment to dry industrial hemp, and marks EnWave’s second sub-license agreement for the commercial use of its proprietary REV™ technology within this rapidly growing global market. EnWave’s strategy is to commercialize its proprietary REVTM technology globally under its licensing and royalty business model.
About EnWave’s Licensing Partner:
EnWave and Tilray, Inc. ("Tilray") (NASDAQ:TLRY) entered into an exclusive partnership in October 2017 in which EnWave named Tilray as its licensed partner under the terms of an exclusive, sub-licensable, royalty bearing commercial license (the “License”). The License grants Tilray an exclusive right to use and sub-license the Company’s proprietary REV™ dehydration technology in Canada for specific applications. Under the terms of the License, EnWave and Tilray share royalties from Your Wasabi Farm's use of EnWave’s REV™ technology on an undisclosed basis.

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. EnWave has further developed patent-pending methods for uniformly drying and decontaminating plant materials including industrial hemp through the use of REV™ technology, shortening the time from harvest to marketable products.
REV™ technology’s commercial viability has been demonstrated and is growing rapidly across several market verticals in the food, and pharmaceutical sectors and has clear benefits in the drying of industrial hemp. 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 Corporation, NutraDried Food Company, LLC, 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;
2. powderREV® which is used for the bulk dehydration of food cultures, probiotics and fine biochemicals such as enzymes below the freezing point, and
3. 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.
