Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Announces Chairman and CEO Letter to Shareholders

ANN ARBOR, Mich., – Nov 26, 2019 –Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Company”) (“Kraig Labs”), the leading developer of spider silk based fibers, announced today the following letter to our shareholders from Kim Thompson, the Company’s Chairman, CEO, and founder.

Dear Kraig Biocraft Laboratories shareholders,

Our goal has always been to develop and produce the best spider silk based fibers.  Our suite of technological innovations has positioned Kraig Biocraft Laboratories to remain firmly in the leadership role. 2019 brought us the beginning of production operations, perhaps the most significant milestone in the Company’s work to commercialize spider silk since the creation of the first transgenics.

This year, Kraig Biocraft Laboratories officially transitioned into the increased production and scalability phase of our operations.  This operational focus will serve as the foundation in creating and maintaining long-term shareholder value. We are preparing to expand our footprint and deliver our largest ever commercial production of spider silk. 

In the coming months the Company will be delivering the first shipment of finished silk from the factory in Vietnam.  Simultaneously we are continuing to expand our production capacity.  With these developments, we are now preparing to fulfill material deliveries to numerous end markets that we are targeting for growth in 2020.

With our focus on the advancement of commercialization activities, we have determined that this is the time to elevate the Company from the OTC Markets Venture Exchange to a national exchange.  Our efforts to uplist to a national exchange are well underway, with several key pieces of this process complete.  We have elected four new board members, who stand ready to take their positions to fulfill governance requirements of the national exchanges.  We held our annual shareholder meeting and gained shareholder approval for our move to uplist. 

Securing expansion capital and listing on a national exchange will immediately impact the Company. This capital will address national exchange listing requirements and serve to underpin the Company’s work to rapidly expand capacity, build the inventory to grow our business, bring new products to market, and establish sales channel partnerships. This growth will benefit all of our shareholders.    

During the past 12 months our research team has been working quietly to deliver breakthroughs in technologies and new products in the lab.  Accelerating our development time cycle with the addition of new personnel and processes has delivered technologies and transgenics which I believe will take us far beyond Dragon Silk.  This year the Company continued to expand its intellectual property portfolio by filing the first five of many expected provisional patent applications.  We are also vigorously prosecuting the patent applications previously filed in conjunction with the University of Notre Dame.

We have shown tremendous growth in 2019 by hitting nearly every mark in our business plan.  That growth includes; obtaining approvals to commence rearing operations in Vietnam, completing the buildout of our factory in Vietnam, the initial scale up of our overseas production operations, advancements in our R&D and IP portfolio, strengthening our corporate governance in preparations for bigger things, and growth of our market cap by more than 285%. 

Our corporate developments over the last year have given us lots of reasons to be thankful.

Kraig Labs is now preparing to take a giant leap that will enhance our global presence.  Our management has been working hard over the last quarter to prepare for that leap and we believe those efforts will lead to even greater successes in 2020.  We intend to use our new position as a launching pad.

While I am thrilled over our progress and growth in 2019, this is only the foundation upon which we intend to build.  Our new assignment is to deliver spider silk to end customers and bring everything to fruition in 2020.

As we enter the holiday season I would like to express my personal appreciation to our shareholders.  We are thinking of their long term interests with every corporate decision we make.  I would also like to thank our exceptional teams at Kraig Labs and Prodigy Textiles.  I have great appreciation for the Kraig Labs family, including our outside contractors.

Thank you all for your support, and I wish you and your loved ones a Happy Thanksgiving and a blessed holiday.

Sincerely,

Kim Thompson

CEO, Chairman, and founder of Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Completes Scale Up Production Cycle of Recombinant Spider Silk Silkworms

ANN ARBOR, Mich., – November 18, 2019 –Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Company”), the leading developer of spider silk based fibers, announced today that Prodigy Textiles, the Company’s Vietnamese subsidiary, completed the first cycle of silk moth mating and egg production scale up, at the Quang Nam factory. 

The Prodigy Textiles operations team finished removing the cocoons from mounting frames on November 6th and silk moths began emerging by November 9th.  The breeding of the emerged moths is complete, with the specialized silkworm eggs now in incubation and are expected to emerge shortly. Each female silk moth lays upwards of 200-500 eggs and, as previously announced, all of the emerged silk moths were dedicated to breeding stock expansion to rapidly scale up the Company’s silk production capacity. 

Over the coming weeks, the Company expects to hatch and rear this second round of silkworms, then harvest the resulting cocoons for production of the first recombinant spider silk threads manufactured in Vietnam.  The Company will contract with a nearby reeling facility to convert the cocoons into finished silk yarn, which has already been committed to a textile manufacture for further fabric and product development.

The Company plans to continue to expand its throughput, over the next several quarters, as it builds up its capacity, expand operations, and prepares to ship materials to its collaborators and potential customers. 

“The launch of each new production phase marks a significant Prodigy milestone, so this is an especially exciting time for Kraig Labs, which, after the years and efforts needed to overcome numerous challenges and regulatory hurdles, is successfully transitioning our technology from the lab to the factory,” said COO, Jon Rice. “It is a pleasure to share each meaningful step forward and, over the next few quarters, we anticipate some thrilling changes for our business and our shareholders, as we begin bringing our recombinant spider silk technologies and capabilities to the markets.”

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Completes Rearing of First Production Batch of Recombinant Spider Silk Silkworm in Vietnam Factory

ANN ARBOR, Mich., – November 4, 2019 –Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Company”), the leading developer of spider silk based fibers, announced today that its operations team at its Vietnamese subsidiary, Prodigy Textiles, has completed rearing the Company’s first batch of production silkworms.  The Company’s specialized spider silk silkworms were hatched over a 7 day period starting on October 8th, while Jon Rice, the Company’s COO, was in Vietnam.  The silkworms began spinning cocoons on October 27th and finished on November 2nd

The Company is already in the process of removing the finished cocoons from the mounting frames, which will be complete by November 6th.  Upon completion, the cocoons will be prepared for the silk moths to emerge.  As reported, late last month, the entire population of emerging silk moths will be dedicated to breeding stock, in order to rapidly expand the Company silk production capacity at Prodigy Textiles.

The second round of production is slated to begin later this month and the resulting silk cocoons will be reeled and spun into finished silk thread.  This thread will be the first recombinant spider silk thread available from Prodigy Textiles and is scheduled to be delivered to a collaborative partner the Company has been working with to develop new materials and applications. 

With operations now fully underway, the Company expects to maintain a continuous production output at Prodigy Textiles and will plan to bring additional materials to market to address the backlog of inquiries in the coming months. 

“The Prodigy Textiles production ramp up continues to demonstrate the efficacy of our manufacturing strategy. The success of this first wave of operations will serve as the blueprint for the successive expansion.  Our direct, drop-in strategy is already proving its effectiveness to scale Dragonsilk 2.0.   We believe this demonstration of rapid expansion will clear the path to fast-track our operations growth and quickly reach our targeted capacity,” Rice said.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Spider Silk Facility to Break Corporate Production capacity Records within First Months of Operation

ANN ARBOR, Mich., – Oct 28, 2019 –Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Company”), the leading developer of spider silk based fibers, announced today that operations at its Vietnamese production facility, which just formally kicked off earlier this month, are on track to set new production capacity records for the Company.

As expected, the first batch of production silkworms, announced earlier this month, are thriving on their diet of fresh mulberry leaves and the warm, humid climate at the facility in Vietnam. 

The Company expects that this first round of production will be complete within two to three weeks.  The entire population of emerging silk moths, from this first production cycle, will be dedicated to breedstock population expansion, resulting in a more than a 100x increase in silkworm egg production and preparing for what the Company believes will be its largest production batch, scheduled for November. 

The November production batch, in Vietnam, is expected to expand the Company’s capacity to produce its specialized recombinant spider silk to a level that collectively exceeds the entirety of its U.S based production, over the last ten years. 

This critical milestone, in the Company’s commercialization of eco-friendly and cost effective recombinant spider silk, has been the key focus of Company management’s initiative to create high performance and environmentally sustainable alternatives to synthetic textiles. The completion of this first wave of production is validating the Company’s business model and its transgenic spider silk silkworms. The Company expects that its factory will have capacity to produce more than 8 metric tons of its specialized silk in 2020, with a total capacity of roughly 40 metric tons per year, once fully utilized.

“There has been considerable interest in Kraig Labs’ high performance fibers, from multiple internationally recognized brands, so bringing our specialized silkworms online should allow us to deliver our first large batch of fabric and begin to fulfill the fiber request backlog,” said COO Jon Rice.  “Having now successfully delivered the silkworms to the factory, watched our team hard at work rearing this first batch, and preparing the factory for the expanding workload, and walked the rows of silk production rack, tray, and mounting boxes, I believe that we are on track to meet our production targets for 2020.”
