ASX Announcement

Partnership with Canadian-based Radient Technologies

Inc. to Develop High-End Nutraceutical Products

Plant-based health and wellbeing company Algae.Tec Limited ("the Company" or "AEB")

(ASX: AEB) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Research Agreement (the "Agreement") with Radient Technologies Inc. (TSXV: RTI) ("Radient" or "RTI").

Under the Agreement, AEB will utilise RTI's market-leading extraction technology as the final step in the production of its high-value algae-based products for supply into the rapidly growing global nutraceutical market.

A key focus will be on the extraction of high quality lipid content from AEB's algae powders, with initial algae samples having already being shipped to Radient's state-of-the-art facility in Edmonton, Canada. First results from this extraction testing are expected to be received in Q3 CY 18.

Radient's proprietary Microwave Assisted Processing MAP™ technology has successfully demonstrated over the last decade to increase the yield and consistency of the active ingredients from plants, including algae, in a cost-efficient manner.

Algae.Tec Limited's Executive Chairman and Managing Director, Mal James, commented: "This is a significant partnership for AEB as it will enable us to leverage RTI's superior extraction technology, and it represents one of the final steps in the production of a variety of products for the high-end nutraceuticals market.

"The global nutraceuticals market provides a compelling opportunity for the business and we look forward to providing our shareholders with the outcomes of this first round of extraction testing this quarter."

Denis Taschuk, President & CEO of Radient commented:

"Radient Technologies prides itself on providing innovative extraction solutions for high quality natural ingredients, and we look forward to embarking on this research agreement with Algae.Tec."
