Sigma ® Life Science and Kraig Biocraft Laboratories to Develop Silkworms for the Production of Spider Silk

Sigma’s CompoZr ® ZFN technology expected to enable targeted insertion of spider silk genes and the removal of endogenous silkworm genes

 St. Louis, MO. – April 12, 2011 – Sigma Life Science, the innovative biological products and services research business of Sigma-Aldrich ® (Nasdaq:SIAL), today announced the signing of an agreement with Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (KBLB) to develop genetically modified silkworms for the production of spider silk, using Sigma’s proprietary CompoZr Zinc Finger Nuclease (ZFN) technology. The transfer of silk genes from the spider to the silkworm is expected to allow the mass production of silk with enhanced strength and elasticity with potential textiles and biomedical applications, such as sutures, tendon and ligament repair, bulletproof vests, and automobile airbags.

Since the first published sequence of a spider silk gene in 1990, much research has focused on the production of commercially viable spider silk with high tensile strength and elasticity. In 2010 KBLB made an important advance towards this goal, by producing hybrid silkworms with randomly inserted spider silk genes, yielding hybrid spider­silkworm silk with greater strength and durability than native silkworm silk. The precise gene targeting and high efficiency of Sigma’s ZFN technology allow s KBLB to build on its revolutionary proof of concept research, by concomitantly targeting the insertion of spider silk genes into the silkworm genome while removing endogenous silkworm silk genes. The resulting transgenic silkworm is expected to be capable of spinning pure spider silk at commercially viable production levels.

“ZFN technology has been revolutionary in genome engineering for various applications, including animal models of disease, engineering of biopharmaceutical production systems, academic research and therapeutics,” said Dr. Joseph Bedell, Director of Sigma Life Science’s Commercial Animal Technologies Group. “Spider silk production is just the first example of a potential commercial animal application for this exciting technology, perfectly positioning Sigma Life Science as a leading provider of innovative technologies that are changing the face of science and improving the quality of life.”

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Files 3rd Quarter Financial Statement Reflecting a Fifty Percent Reduction in Total Corporate Liabilities

LANSING, MI–November 18, 2010- Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (KBLB) announces that the Company has submitted its 10Q filing for the third quarter of 2010.

The Company’s financial statements reflect more than a fifty percent reduction in total corporate liabilities in comparison to both the second quarter of 2010 and the 2009 end of year figures. At the end of this year’s second quarter and at the end of 2009, corporate liabilities totaled approximately $3.2 million. The financial statements filed today reflect total liabilities of approximately $1.465 million as of September 30, 2010.

“The reduction of our liabilities and the strengthening of our balance sheet has been a focus of management’s attention, as we move to commercialize our laboratory discoveries,” said Kim Thompson, Kraig Biocraft Laboratories’ CEO and founder. “We view it as a critical component for positioning ourselves for upcoming events and most particularly as we seek corporate alliances to accelerate the entry of our products into the marketplace.”

“In order to contribute to that effort, among other things, I have surrendered most of my unpaid back salary to the Company, along with the beneficial conversion features which would have allowed me to covert that debt to stock on favorable terms,” continued Thompson. “That action, along with other actions we have taken over the last several months have, in my opinion, significantly improved the Company’s financial position and have made us a potentially more attractive partner as we seek out new relationships in both the biotechnology and textiles industries.”

In exchange for the surrendering of back salary, beneficial conversion rights and certain other debts, including the right to certain mile stone payments, the Company will issue to Thompson preferred stock bearing extra voting rights. These shares will not be entitled to any dividends or interest payments whatsoever.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories’ Data Feed was Temporarily Disrupted on Thursday October 7, 2010

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (KBLB) announced today that numerous financial websites experienced a temporary disruption in their Company related data stream on October 7, 2010.

The data stream interruption was the result of the largest market makers changing trading platforms. “Apparently the largest market makers have decided to run their trades through the pink sheet system because of dramatic increases in OTCBB trading fees,” said CEO Kim Thompson. “The change had nothing to do with our corporate activity. We remain current on all of our filings and will of course remain a reporting company. Our third quarter just ended a few days ago on September 30th, and we anticipate filing our 10Q in record time for Kraig.”

The migration of market makers from the OTCBB to the Pink Sheet trading platform apparently began accelerating when the OTCBB decided to increase the fees it charges market makers. When market makers run their trades through a rival platform and give no part of their business in a security to the OTCBB for a period of four days or more, the OTCBB can list the subject security on its daily list under rule 15c2-11. For reasons which have not been explained by the OTCBB, this action resulted in the data stream disruption as the OTCBB did not bother to provide advance notice to the financial service websites, to the company or, apparently, even to its market makers.

During the disruption the Company publicized that current data might be obtained by adding .pk to the Company’s symbol. As of this writing, it appears that that is not necessary and that data flow has been restored to KBLB. The Company thanks all of the financial service websites and information technologies professionals who worked during the day to restore the flow of information.

As a reminder, the Company will be hosting a conference call today, Friday October 8, 2010 at 4:30 PM EDT. Please check our public announcement of earlier today for conference details.
