NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

EnWave Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ENW)(FRANKFURT:E4U) ("EnWave" or the "Company") today announced that the board of directors has amended its "fixed number" stock option plan to change it to a "10% rolling" plan.

Under the "fixed number" plan, the Company had reserved a fixed number of 7,940,000 common shares for the grant of stock options, which is now equal to 11% of the present issued capital of the Company. Under the "10% rolling" plan, the Company can grant stock options to purchase up to 10% of the issued capital of the Company at the time of grant of any option. Based on the current issued capital, the Company will have available for grant under the 10% rolling plan up to 7,187,077 common shares, being 10% of the current issued capital, which number includes options to purchase a total of 4,624,000 common shares which are currently outstanding. Under the 10% rolling plan, the number of shares available for grant increases as the issued capital of the Company increases.

The amended Plan has been conditionally approved by the TSX Venture Exchange subject to shareholder approval which will be requested at the Company's annual general and special meeting of shareholders scheduled for February 28, 2012.

About EnWave

EnWave Corporation is a Vancouver-based industrial technology company developing commercial applications for its proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV) dehydration technology. In collaboration 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.
