Kraig Biocraft Laboratories poised to Close Out Yorkville Convertible Debenture with Strongest Financial Position in Corporate History

Ann Arbor, MI– Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“the Company” or “Kraig Labs”), the biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of spider silk, announces that it has nearly closed out its $8 million in convertible debenture with Yorkville Advisors. Over the last 23 months, the Company has converted more than 98% of this debt to equity. Kraig Labs remains in one of the strongest financial positions in the Company’s history, with more than $4.5 million in liquid assets and a remaining debt balance to Yorkville of only $150,000. 

The capital raised through this financing has been deployed in building out the Company’s in-house production and laboratory facilities in Vietnam, expanding the capabilities and research focus of our US-based R&D center, and funding the Company’s work with third-party production partners to scale up spider silk production. Looking forward, the Company expects to continue investing in the scale-up of production capacity, pioneering innovations in spider silk technologies, and bringing products to end markets through direct sales and strategic partnerships.

“Due to the significant progress that we made in securing our new production partnership program, which is designed to allow Kraig Labs to meet anticipated demand without the previous model’s intense capital investments, these funds provide us the flexibility that we need to continue to drive growth and strengthen our operations from R&D through finished products,” said Company COO, Jon Rice.

“With more than $4.5 million of immediately deployable capital and having nearly eliminated the balance on this debit financing, Kraig Labs has never been in a stronger financial position. We will continue to strategically invest this capital in ramping production through our in-house capacity and partnership with our third-party contractor as well as launch the next generations of hybrid spider silk technologies,” Rice concluded.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Expands Operational Footprint in Vietnam

Ann Arbor, Michigan., – August 17, 2022– Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Company” or “Kraig Labs”), the biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of spider silk, announces that the Company has now been granted a business license to begin operations in Lam Dong Province. 

The newly established business license and facility in Lam Dong Province are part of the Company’s expansion into the Vietnamese highlands, the center of silk production in Vietnam. The highlands of Lam Dong Province offer temperate climates ideal for silkworm rearing and ready access to the cocoon and silk spinning facilities currently producing several hundred metric tons of mundane silk per year. 

In June, management from Kraig Labs traveled to Lam Dong for meetings with officials from the Lam Dong Agro-Forestry Research Experiment Center (LAREC) to assess the opportunities to expand silk production into the province and to tour the regional support infrastructure.   The LAREC operates as the authority in Vietnamese sericulture, maintaining 47 unique species of Vietnamese silkworms. The LAREC has developed multiple varieties of mulberry, including S7-CB, which has doubled production yields, from about 25-30 metric tons of foliage per hectare, for standard mulberry, to 50-60 tons of foliage per hectare, for the S7-CB mulberry strains. Kraig Labs planted with S7-CB mulberry at its facilities in Quang Nam, which has resulted in similar improvements.

The Company’s Vietnamese headquarters will remain in Quang Nam at its breeding and production center. This facility was recently featured as part of the Company’s behind-the-scenes video series, www.kraiglabs.com/videos. The Quang Nam facility is designed to produce and supply all of the Company’s proprietary silkworm eggs for in-house and 3rd party contract manufacturing.

“Lam Dong is the center of silk production in Vietnam. We are pleased to report that, with the granting of this business license, Kraig Labs and our specialized spider silk silkworm technologies are now being woven into the proud history and bright future of Vietnamese sericulture,” said Company COO Jon Rice.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Introduces New, Enhanced Line of Dragon Silk Silkworms for Commercial Production

Ann Arbor, MI – July 6, 2022– Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Company” or “Kraig Labs”), the biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of spider silk, announces that it has produced several new lines of larger hybrid Dragon SilkTM silkworms for its production operations in Vietnam. These new breeds of silkworms were explicitly created for large-scale production. 

With a larger cocoon and longer silk filament, these optimized Dragon Silk breeds reduce production costs and increase throughput.

The new breeds were created using a process of hybridization, combining the best properties of Dragon Silk with the best practices in silkworm breeding to improve the size and robustness of the silkworm strain. Commonly used in commercial mundane silk production, the process of creating these production hybrid silkworms delivers between 30-100% larger silk cocoons than non-hybridized silkworms.

The Company first began the development of large cocoon hybrids in 2018. The success of that effort is the foundation of today’s announcement and the rollout of this technology into production. Commercializing this technology required the Company to develop multiple strains of Dragon Silk hybrids that, when paired together, deliver a consistent and scalable large cocoon production platform.

“The hybridization program was a key part of the Company’s technology roadmap and something our R&D team has been quietly working on behind the scenes,” said Company COO Jon Rice. “Today, we announce that this technology is in the factory. This technology will lower our operating costs from rearing all the way through silk reeling and spinning. Over the coming months, our production team will transition egg production to this new, larger Dragon Silk line.”

Accelerating the transition of these new larger breeds of Dragon Silk to production was driven by the Company’s success with 3rd party contract production and our rapidly growing demand for increased quantities of Dragon Silk.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Subcontractor Pilot Production has achieved required Spider Silk Production Levels for the Spydasilk Apparel Launch

Kraig Labs Launches the Critical Next Phases of its Business Plan, Expanded Recombinant Spider Silk Production in Collaboration with Third-Party Contractors

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – June 21, 2022– Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Company” or “Kraig Labs”), the biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of spider silk, announces the completion of its third-party pilot production. As a result of this highly successful program, Kraig Labs will launch the critical next phases of its business plan and expand its recombinant spider silk production in collaboration with third-party contractors.

Key Kraig Labs management team members traveled to Vietnam to review the results of a series of pilot production runs completed by one of the silk production subcontractors the Company has been working with in preparation for entering the next phase of its business plan. The subcontractor pilot program exceeded management’s expectations to the point that Kraig Labs is now finalizing the terms of a 5-year production contract. This joint effort, by the subcontractor and Prodigy Textiles, the Company’s Vietnamese subsidiary, has already completed production of the raw recombinant spider silk needed for the first apparel launch under the Company’s jointly owned apparel brand, SpydasilkTM.

Kraig Labs is on track to complete negotiations on the structure of expanded production with this contractor before Jon Rice, the Company’s Chief Operations Officer, returns to the US this week. Based on the results of these first pilot runs and the contractors’ production capacity, the Company is now on a path to producing metric tons of spider silk.

During this trip, the Company’s top scientist has also been evaluating and updating production and science processes at Prodigy Textiles. A focus of his work has been bringing state-of-the-art technology into our Vietnamese lab to reduce and eliminate mundane silkworm pathogens known to impact global silk production and inhibited the Company’s production growth. Our facility is now one of the most advanced sericulture labs in South East Asia and is already enhancing the quality of our operations.

The management team traveled over 2,700 miles since arriving in Vietnam. The Company met with three separate contract manufacturers, spanning from Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City, who are vying to produce the Company’s specialized silk.

“The production capabilities demonstrated by the contract producer in these first runs have given us the raw spider silk necessary to bring our first finished garments to market and the confidence to aggressively push forward for exponential increases in silk output. With these successes, we are entering the next phase of our business plan, which includes rapid production expansion with subcontractors in parallel with the growth of our nascent joint venture apparel brand. Together, our teams from Kraig, Prodigy Textiles, and SpydasilkTM are showing significant and tangible success on all fronts,” stated Rice

Kraig Labs anticipates issuing a series of additional updates on production expansion, Prodigy Textile’s laboratory developments, SpydasilkTM, and other significant achievements shortly after the management team returns to the Company’s headquarters this week.
