Halifax, Nova Scotia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 9, 2020) - Sixth Wave Innovations Inc. (CSE: SIXW) (OTC Pink: ATURF) (FSE: AHUH) ("Sixth Wave" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the execution of a Collaboration Supply Agreement (the "Supply Agreement") on June 5, 2020 between Sixth Wave and PuriTech, LLC ("PuriTech").

Under the terms of the Supply Agreement, PuriTech will assist in the manufacturing of Sixth Wave's Affinity™ Units by contributing PuriTech's patented ION-IX system. ION-IX uses a single, multi-port distribution valve to create an optimized process system for continuous, countercurrent ion exchange. PuriTech's ION-IX system has been used in water treatment, hydrometallurgy, sugar treatment, recovery of chemicals and a wide variety of ion exchange applications where very low waste or the recovery of high-value components is required. Equipment purchased under the Supply Agreement will adhere to EU-GMP and US/Canadian - GMP compliance standards allowing Sixth Wave to provide a compliance package to its customers to obtain their own certifications. Sixth Wave will leverage the baseline operating specifications and capabilities of the ION-IX to optimize the use of Sixth Wave's patent pending molecularly imprinted polymer technology for the isolation and separation of cannabinoids. The resulting equipment and AffinityTM adsorbent will comprise the AffinityTM System.

PuriTech also has the ability to design and develop bespoke system applications based on the data already obtained from Sixth Wave's existing AffinityTM Units. As Sixth Wave begins to scale up it's manufacturing to meet customer demand, the Supply Agreement will accelerate the design, installation, commissioning, and optimization of the AffinityTM Unit's in a variety of sizes and/or custom designs.

Pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement, PuriTech has also agreed to assist in the distribution and marketing of the AffinityTM Units. Sixth Wave will also collaborate with PuriTech for the testing and development of any new technology applications developed by Sixth Wave.

"This agreement with PuriTech will allow Sixth Wave to accelerate the manufacturing of the AffinityTM Units to meet the unparalleled current and prospective customer demand," stated Dr. Jonathan Gluckman, CEO of Sixth Wave. "PuriTech's well-reputed history for delivering the highest quality equipment complements the advanced technology of the Affinity™ System."
