EnWave Enters into Term Sheet for Purchase of Patents from The University of British Columbia and Buyout of Royalty Obligations Under Existing License Agreements

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 16, 2011) - EnWave Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ENW)(FRANKFURT:E4U) ("EnWave" or the "Company") today announced that it has signed a Term Sheet (the "Term Sheet") to acquire the patents and know-how that it currently licenses from The University of British Columbia ("UBC") for Radiant Energy Vacuum ("REV") dehydration technology (the "Technology"). According to the Term Sheet, EnWave and UBC have agreed to enter into a definitive agreement (the "Agreement") to formalize the transactions contemplated by the Term Sheet by April 15, 2011.

The Agreement would expand EnWave's intellectual property portfolio in the field of vacuum microwave dehydration technology. According to the Agreement, EnWave would also have no further royalty or other financial obligations to UBC for the Technology. The final form of the Agreement is subject to the approval of EnWave, UBC and applicable regulatory authorities.

"This agreement will strengthen EnWave's global market leadership in vacuum microwave technology as we offer our customers unique technology alternatives to replace conventional drying methods," said John McNicol, President and Co-CEO of EnWave. "It also caps EnWave's payments to UBC for the Technology."

Under the Term Sheet provisions, EnWave would pay UBC CDN$5,500,000 in cash and common shares of EnWave, subject to adjustment based upon share price fluctuations occurring prior to the period ending 30 days after the end of the standard four-month hold period for UBC's shares. The adjustment provisions are intended to preserve the value that UBC would receive under the Agreement and allow EnWave to limit the number of shares issued to a maximum of 1,500,000 million common shares.

EnWave currently has five REV platforms designed to provide high-speed, high-quality dehydration of food and biomaterials: commercial-scale nutraREV™ is used in the food industry to dry fruits, vegetables, meat, herbs and seafood quickly and at low-cost, while maintaining high levels of nutrition, taste, texture and colour. The Company is also developing powderREV™ for the bulk dehydration of food cultures, probiotics and fine biochemicals such as enzymes; quantaREV™ for continuous, high-volume low-temperature drying of pastes, gels, liquids, or particulates; and bioREV™ and freezeREV™ as new methods to stabilize and dehydrate biopharmaceuticals such as vaccines and antibodies, giving these products a longer shelf-life and potentially enabling worldwide shipment and storage with less costly refrigeration.

About EnWave

Using proprietary technologies developed in conjunction with UBC, EnWave is commercializing a new method for dehydrating food and biological materials using REV technology under its nutraREV™, powderREV™, quantaREV™, bioREV™ and freezeREV™ brands. REV technology combines microwave energy transfer under vacuum to dehydrate and alter structures and drive chemical reactions, thereby creating unique product characteristics for both food products and medical applications that include fruit, vegetables, probiotics, enzymes, proteins, food cultures, vaccines and antibodies.
