EnWave Signs Commercial Royalty-Bearing License with Ultima Foods Incorporated to Produce Yogurt Snacks
Vancouver, B.C., August 24, 2017
EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the "Company") announced today that it has signed a commercial royalty-bearing license (the “License”) with Ultima Foods Incorporated (“Ultima”), a major Canadian yogurt processor with over 40 years of experience. Ultima is a joint venture between two of Canada's largest dairy cooperatives, Agropur and Agrifoods.
The License grants Ultima the exclusive right to use EnWave’s Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) technology to process yogurt products in Canada. In exchange for this exclusivity, Ultima has agreed to pay EnWave an undisclosed royalty on the wholesale price of all REV™-dried products sold. Ultima has also agreed to purchase a small commercial REV™ machine to enable a focused market trial in early 2018. Subject to maintaining the exclusivity of the License, Ultima is required to order a larger, continuous REV™ machine before the end of 2018. All other terms of the agreement are confidential.
This is EnWave’s twenty-second commercial royalty-bearing license and the first for yogurt products.

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. 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 twenty-two 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;
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.
