EnWave Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire 75.1% of Hans Binder Maschinenbau GmbH

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 14, 2012) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. WIRE SERVICES

EnWave Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ENW)(FRANKFURT:E4U) ("EnWave", or the "Company") announced today it has signed a Letter of Intent ("LOI") to acquire a 75.1% controlling interest in Hans Binder Maschinenbau GmbH ("Binder") of Germany. Since announcing their initial strategic partnership together in May of 2009, EnWave and Binder have developed joint commercial projects and a strong marketing and technical partnership with common interests in the global dehydration industry. With the success of recent plant startups in the U.S. market and a growing interest from multi-national Tier 1 customers, the parties agreed it was an opportune time to join forces with the intention of becoming a leading innovator and industrial supplier of vacuum microwave technology.

Under the terms of the agreement, EnWave will invest 2,000,000 Euro directly into the capital structure of Binder to acquire a 75.1% ownership position. The pre-investment valuation of Binder was determined at approximately 663,000 Euro, after deducting outstanding shareholder loans of 970,000 Euro. Binder has no bank debt and, at the time of signing the LOI, a positive net working capital position. Under the terms of the agreement, a portion of the investment will be used to pay back up to 300,000 Euro of the shareholder loans, with the balance of the investment to remain in cash to strengthen Binder's working capital and general financial position. This strengthened financial position will increase Binder's capacity to fulfill commercial vacuum microwave machine orders.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, Binder reported unaudited revenues of approximately 7 million Euro and a net after tax income of 134,000 Euro. EnWave believes that in 2013 and beyond, the demand for vacuum microwave technology will offer an opportunity for EnWave and Binder to build a growing revenue stream for high value, high margin projects.

The decision to combine resources also strengthens the Company's royalty and licensing model, bringing together EnWave's innovation, global marketing expertise, Tier 1 collaboration pipeline and growing patent position with Binder's economies of scale, experience and ability to design and deliver industrial scale turn-key vacuum microwave plants customized for specific applications. These combined strengths should offer customers exceptional machine quality and overall service with stronger protection of general know-how and intellectual property on a global basis.

"We have worked together with the Binder family and their management team since 2009 and are very excited to be combining our skills and strengths at such a pivotal time," stated Mr. John McNicol, President and Co-CEO of EnWave. "Binder's proven innovative nature, quality engineering and more than 60 years of machine building expertise in the drying industry should help increase the confidence for EnWave's growing list of multi-national partners to order REV technology in the future."

"EnWave has built an impressive patent position in the global vacuum microwave industry, using their innovations to establish collaborations with some of the world's largest food and pharmaceutical companies," stated Mr. Johann Binder, Managing Director of Binder. "We look forward to helping EnWave transition these partnerships into customized turn-key plant deliveries in a growing field of applications."

To support the acquisition, EnWave plans to raise up to $4,500,000 in cash by issuing up to 3,000,000 common shares in a non-brokered private placement priced at $1.50 per share. Pursuant to TSX Venture Exchange policies and securities law, the shares issued will be subject to a four month holding period from the closing date, which expected to be on or before June 30, 2012. A cash commission of up to 5% of the proceeds will be payable to certain individuals acting as finders in connection with the private placement.

The closing of the Binder transaction is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including: (a) successful completion of legal and financial due diligence; and (b) negotiation and execution of definitive agreements. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth calendar quarter of 2012. Both the transaction and the private placement are subject to regulatory approvals.

The Milne plant was successfully started up earlier this year showcasing Binder's engineering and machine building skills.

About EnWave

EnWave Corporation is a Vancouver-based industrial technology company developing commercial applications for its proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV) dehydration technology. The company recently licensed REV technology to Milne Fruit Products Inc, its first major U.S. customer, to support a launch of healthy berry snacks and powders across most major markets in North America. More recently, EnWave licensed REV technology to one of its Tier 1 multi-national partners from the list below. In addition, EnWave has entered a wide range of research and collaboration agreements with an expanding list of multinational partners, including Nestlé, Kellogg's, Grupo Bimbo, Grimmway Farms, Ocean Spray Cranberries, Hormel, Bonduelle and Merck. EnWave is introducing REV as a new dehydration standard in the food and biological material sectors: potentially faster and cheaper than freeze drying, with better end product quality than air drying or spray drying.

EnWave currently has six REV platforms: commercial-scale nutraREV^® and MIVAP^® are 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 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.
