The Green Organic Dutchman Signs a Commercial Sublicense with EnWave and Tilray to Dry Cannabis in Canada

The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (US : TGODF) is pleased to announce it has signed a royalty-bearing commercial sublicense with EnWave Corporation (TSX-V: ENW | FSE:E4U) and Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY).

EnWave 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 cannabis through the use of REV™ technology, shortening the time from harvest to marketable cannabis products. 

EnWave and Tilray entered into an exclusive partnership in October 2017 in which EnWave named Tilray as its licensed partner (the "License"). The License grants Tilray an exclusive right to use and sub-license EnWave's proprietary REV™ dehydration technology in Canada. Under the terms of the License, EnWave and Tilray will share royalties from TGOD's use of EnWave's REV™ technology on an undisclosed basis.

The Agreement grants TGOD the right to use EnWave's proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum ("REV™") dehydration technology to dry organic cannabis in its Canadian operations. Pursuant to the Agreement, TGOD has signed an equipment purchase agreement and submitted a purchase order to EnWave for a large-scale 60kW commercial REV™ machine to initiate commercial production.

"We are incredibly excited to utilize this proprietary and advanced dehydration technology, which will promote consistency in the manufacturing of our premium organic products, improve space efficiency by reducing the need for drying rooms and quicken TGOD's time from harvest to sale," stated Brian Athaide, TGOD's Chief Executive Officer. 

On Behalf of the Board of Directors,

The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd.

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 cannabis through the use of REV™ technology, shortening the time from harvest to marketable cannabis products. 

REV™ technology's commercial viability has been demonstrated and is growing rapidly across several market verticals in the food, and pharmaceutical sectors including legal cannabis. 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:

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;
powderREV® which is used for the bulk dehydration of food cultures, probiotics and fine biochemicals such as enzymes below the freezing point, and
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.
