Not for distribution to United States newswire services or for dissemination in the United States
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its fully subscribed private placement offering (the “Offering”) of common shares of the Company (the “Shares”). The Company raised aggregate gross proceeds of $3,000,000 through the issuance of 7,500,000 Shares at a price of C$0.40 per Share (the “Issue Price”).
Clarus Securities Inc. (“Clarus”) acted as lead agent and sole bookrunner for the brokered component of the Offering comprised of 6,125,000 Shares, pursuant to an agency agreement entered into by Clarus and the Company dated as of August 21, 2025. The Company also completed a non-brokered component of the Offering in respect of 1,375,000 Shares. The Offering was conducted pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption in accordance with Part 5A.2 of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (together, the “Listed Issuer Financing Exemption”), in each province of Canada. A French translation of the offering document related to the Offering was filed under the Company’s issuer profile at www.sedarplus.ca and posted to the Company’s website at www.enwave.net on August 19, 2025, in order to extend the non-brokered component of the Offering to Québec purchasers.
By reason of the Offering being completed pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption, the Shares issued and sold under the Offering are not subject to a “hold period” pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, except that in accordance with applicable policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”), a four-month hold period expiring on December 22, 2025 will apply to all directors and officers of the Company receiving Shares pursuant to the Offering.
Clarus received a cash commission of $134,750 and 336,875 non-transferrable compensation options (the “Compensation Options”) in respect of the brokered component of the Offering. Each Compensation Option entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Share (the “Compensation Option Shares”) at the Issue Price for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Offering. The Compensation Options and the Compensation Option Shares are subject to a four-month hold period pursuant to Canadian securities laws.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from Offering to build two large-scale (60kW-120kW) Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) dehydration machines. The manufacturing and fabrication process to produce large-scale REV™ equipment takes approximately six months to complete. This investment is designed to ensure faster order fulfillment and support prospective future REV™ machine demand as EnWave’s pipeline continues to expand.
The Offering constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“) as certain directors and senior officers of the Company participated in the Offering to subscribe for an aggregate 212,500 Shares. The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the Offering as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the Offering, insofar as it involves related parties, exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization (as determined in accordance with MI 61-101). The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to the expected closing date of the Offering as the details of the related parties’ participation in the Offering had not been finalized at the time.
The Shares have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
