Applied UV Leverages World Cannabis Day 4:20

Launches New Website and Marketing Campaign

Applied UV, Inc. (NasdaqCM: AUVI) (“Applied UV” or the “Company”), a pathogen elimination technology company that applies the power of narrow-range ultraviolet light (“UVC”) for surface areas and catalytic bioconversion technology for air purification to destroy pathogens safely, thoroughly, and automatically, announced, that in recognizing the business significance of the historic 4:20 World Cannabis Day, its wholly owned subsidiary Sterilumen launched an integrated, multi-touchpoint marketing campaign targeting the $20B North American Cannabis Market.

The Company has also forged a strategic multi-media-platform partnership with Cannabis Business Times to educate growers and operations leaders the criticality of pure, high-quality air in the grow environment. The campaign includes the redesigned and launch of the Airoclean420 website, as well as leads-generation ads on several platforms and advertising across print, e-Newsletter, and digital video and print platforms. In addition, the Company plans to exhibit its Airoclean™ 420 by Sterilumen at the Cannabis Business Times’ Cannabis Conference in Las Vegas August 23-25, 2022. The Cannabis marketing initiative marks the first of many planned investments into our three acquired Companies (Akida Holdings, Kes Science and Scientific Air Management) targeting key verticals of growth that we expect to increase brand recognition, drive both market share and top line revenue.

John F. Andrews, Applied UV’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “We are proactively pursuing the high growth cannabis market with the launch of this multi-faceted marketing program. Healthy air is an essential element in growing cannabis and can determine whether the yield produced will be a bumper crop or a total flop. Our Airoclean™ 420 by Sterilumen, dramatically improves crop yield by purifying the air in the growing environment by trapping and destroying all airborne powdery mildew and other fungal diseases. We believe there is tremendous opportunity for our solutions to improve the operations of cannabis growers. We are getting this message out to the industry through the launch of the airoclean420 website and other related marketing initiatives.”

Airoclean™ 420 by Sterilumen launched in 2015 is a pioneering brand that has been trusted for more than a decade by commercial and home/hobby growers across North America and, is the most effective air purification system in destroying powdery mildew and airborne fungal diseases that ruin cannabis plants and businesses. The cannabis crop is subject to many viruses that could impede growth and destroy crops. Powdery mildew is one of the most potent destroyers of cannabis grows in the world. The pathogen spreads through the air and gets into the vascular system of the plants. It remains hidden until two weeks into flowering before it wreaks havoc on the entire grow. When it is detected, growers must destroy the crop, remove all their equipment, and conduct an intensive and costly deep clean. Certain fungicides can combat powdery mildew, but these are illegal in some states and are of questionable safety given they are sprayed on something intended for human consumption. Airoclean™ 420 by Sterilumen eradicates powdery mildew and other airborne pathogens and not only protects the crops but helps protect the personnel from airborne pathogens working in the facilities growing them as well.
