EnWave Announces Organizational Changes for NutraDried LLP


VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - December 07, 2016) - EnWave Corporation (TSX VENTURE: ENW) (FRANKFURT: E4U) ("EnWave", or the "Company") is pleased to announce several organizational changes regarding NutraDried LLP ("NutraDried"), its 51% owned subsidiary that manufactures and distributes Moon Cheese®. EnWave confirms that NutraDried and Spire Brands, LLC ("Spire") have terminated the Master Supply and Distribution Agreement (the "MDA") between the two companies. The MDA was in operation for over one year and after a careful review, both parties concluded the MDA is not serving the best interests of either party. As a result of the termination, NutraDried will overtake the marketing and distribution strategy for its all natural cheese snack product, Moon Cheese®.

NutraDried has also contracted marketing and distribution support from Slant Design ("Slant"), a Vancouver based branding and marketing firm. Slant brings extensive experience in consumer packaged goods marketing, branding and distribution. NutraDried has worked extensively with Slant on prior projects including the introduction and sale of Moon Cheese® through the major US coffee chain. Moon Cheese® is currently available for purchase in over 23,000 diversified locations throughout North America.

Additionally, NutraDried's Board of Managers have appointed Dr. Tim Durance, Chief Executive Officer and President of EnWave, as the interim Chief Executive Officer of NutraDried. Dr. Durance will serve as Chief Executive Officer of NutraDried on an interim basis until a permanent Chief Executive Officer for NutraDried has been appointed.

The organizational changes at NutraDried were planned in order to create operational efficiencies and to allow for the growth of the Moon Cheese® brand. NutraDried will now also be able to pursue additional revenue streams through private label sales as well as toll processing opportunities.

About EnWave

EnWave Corporation is a Vancouver-based industrial technology company developing commercial applications for its proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV™) dehydration technology. EnWave aims to sign royalty-bearing commercial licenses with leading food and pharmaceutical companies for the use of its revolutionary technology. To date, the Company has signed seventeen royalty-bearing commercial licenses with various companies, thereby opening up eight distinct market sectors for commercialization. In addition to these seventeen licenses, EnWave has formed a Limited Liability Partnership, NutraDried LLP, to develop, manufacture, market and sell all-natural cheese snack products within the United States of America under the Moon Cheese® brand.

EnWave is introducing REV™ technology as a new dehydration standard in the food and biological material sectors, with benefits including, but not limited to, a faster and cheaper method compared to freeze drying, with better end product quality than air drying or spray drying. EnWave currently has three commercial REV™ platforms:

1. nutraREV® (food industry applications): designed for quick, low-cost dehydration of fruits, vegetables, herbs, dairy products, meats and seafood, with benefits including improved nutritional content, appearance, flavor and texture relative to conventional methods.

2. quantaREV® (food industry applications): designed for high-volume, low-temperature dehydration of solids, liquids, granular or encapsulated products.

3. powderREV® (pharmaceutical applications): designed as a high-speed, lower-energy, continuous alternative to freeze drying for bulk dehydration of temperature-sensitive biomaterials (bacteria, cell-free extracts, enzymes, probiotics, food cultures, etc.).

In addition, EnWave is currently developing a new commercial REV™ platform:

1. freezeREV® (pharmaceutical applications): a multi-vial prototype technology designed to act as an accelerated freeze dryer to produce room-temperature stable biopharmaceuticals and reagents.
