Applied UV Enters Three Year Agreement Through its Scandinavian Distribution Partner Airocide Nordic Oy with Plandent Division for Distribution of Airocide to Dental Providers

Covers Finland with plans to expand throughout all of countries in Scandinavia and Europe

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 announces that it's Scandinavian distributor Airocide Nordic Oy has entered into a three-year agreement with Plandent Division for distribution of its patented Airocide® commercial air purification systems to the professional dental community launching initially in Finland, expanding distribution to include all of the countries in Scandinavia and plans to broaden expansion throughout all of Europe

Headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, Plandent Division is a wholly-owned entity of Planmeca Oy, the 3rd largest supplier to the dental industry in Europe. The company operates throughout Europe supplying a wide range of quality-driven, modern dental products and solutions.

"We estimate there are approximately 21,500 dental practices throughout Scandinavia, representing a significant market opportunity for our products," stated Max Munn, President and Interim CEO. "Plandent is a recognized leader for the supply of dental products and equipment and an ideal partner to expand our footprint and helps us capture a meaningful share of the Scandinavian market. In healthcare environments, air quality is perhaps the most easily forgotten component of microbial burden. The constant traffic of patients and staff combined with the effect of ongoing procedures ensures consistently high levels of airborne microbial contamination. Chemicals used in cleaning and sterilization can also contribute to significant levels of VOCs in the air. Implementing the Airocide® air disinfection technology, which constantly works at the point of care, results in increased safety of the environment and the wellbeing of patients and staff."

Mr. Munn continued, "Recent health threats and the possibility of contracting a potentially life-threatening virus such as COVID-19 has increased the dental community's pursuit of solutions that can reduce aerosols and splatter and provide clean air quality. Research published in the Journal of Dentistry in February 2021, confirmed that if a room's ventilation rate is low, respiratory aerosol particles can remain in the indoor air for a long time, making it critical to remove respiratory aerosol to minimize potential exposures of airborne viruses to patients and providers. Creating clean air quality in dental offices is not possible solely with the use of high suction and a central air conditioning system. Improved ventilation and air filtration are important steps in a multi-layered approach for safe delivery of dental care. By installing the patented Airocide® System, both staff and patients will have additional protection."
