Halifax, Nova Scotia – (June 22, 2022) – Sixth Wave Innovations Inc. (CSE:SIXW) (OTCQB:SIXWF) (FSE:AHUH) (“Sixth Wave”, “SIXW” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has shipped its Discovery Affinity™ System (the “System”) to Canada for installation at Retro Cannabis and Hemp Extracts (“Retro”) as per the Letter of Intent announced on May 19, 2022. The System is expected to be delivered to Sixth Wave’s Halifax, Nova Scotia facility and taken by Sixth Wave to Retro the week of June 27 for installation and testing. In addition, Sixth Wave has shipped Affinity™ polymer to Advanced Extraction Systems Inc. (“AESI”) to begin packing full scale production columns and begin the next phase of fluid dynamics testing and equipment configuration.
According to Dr. Jon Gluckman, President and CEO of Sixth Wave; “This shipment is a significant milestone for the Affinity™ System as we begin transitioning activities to our licensing partner AESI. The Discovery System will facilitate cannabis separation and purification demonstrations as well as limited production capability. This installation will allow hands on interaction at a scale that is manageable outside of a full-scale production facility. In addition, the Affinity™ beads used to populate the production column will allow testing and fine tuning of the fluid dynamics and monitoring instrumentation prior to deployment in the field. No major issues are expected.”
Peter Toombs, CEO of AESI and Retro notes; “We are truly excited to be receiving this equipment and get more directly involved with the Affinity™ System. Our design and manufacturing team will benefit greatly from obtaining a working knowledge of how the technology performs and allow us to be much more proactive with improvements to the existing designs that will ensure success in the industry. This will also give our sales and marketing team the needed training to successfully represent the Affinity™ System in the marketplace.”
The Company further reports that it has granted a total of 300,000 options to the independent directors and 600,000 options to advisory board members of the Company as per advisory board agreements previously announced. The options are exercisable at $0.15 per share and will expire on June 10, 2027. One third of the options will vest after six months, with an additional third vesting every six months thereafter until fully vested.
