(OTCQB: KBLB) (\u201cthe Company\u201d, \u201cKraig Labs\u201d, or \u201cKraig\u2019s\u201d), a world leader in spider silk technology*, today announced the successful deployment of more than 700,000 BAM-1 Alpha production hybrids of its previously reported 1,000,000 egg inventory.&nbsp; These silkworms are now in active production. This achievement underscores the Company\u2019s continued execution of its previously announced plan for rapid production expansion of recombinant spider silk. The Company seeks to increase output to metric ton levels.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In February, Kraig Labs outlined an aggressive pathway to dramatically increase recombinant spider silk production. Today\u2019s announcement confirms that the Company is solidly on track, having achieved a key milestone by releasing more than 700,000 production hybrids in a single month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThis is exactly the kind of disciplined, structured, and milestone-driven execution we set out to achieve,\u201d said <strong>Kim Thompson, Founder and CEO of Kraig Labs.<\/strong> \u201cWe laid out an ambitious plan to scale production to unprecedented levels, and we are now systematically delivering against that roadmap. The rapid deployment of more than 700,000 BAM-1 Alpha hybrids represents a major step forward as we move toward our goal of producing spider silk at metric ton levels.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Kraig\u2019s production team has reported that the BAM-1 Alpha hybrids are performing exceptionally well, exceeding internal expectations for robustness and productivity. These results further validate the Company\u2019s decision to center its scale-up strategy around the BAM-1 Alpha platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kraig Labs has emphasized a systematic, milestone-based approach to achieving its long-term production targets. Each phase of expansion is designed to build upon prior successes, ensuring stability and repeatability as output increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the successful deployment of this latest production run, the Company continues to advance toward its objectives. Management believes that its current trajectory positions the Company to achieve this target on an accelerated timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe see these results as a clear demonstration that our strategy is working,\u201d <strong>Thompson<\/strong> added. \u201cWe are executing an aggressive plan, hitting our milestones, and moving with purpose toward industrial-scale commercial spider silk production.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Company\u2019s leadership in bioengineering was recently spotlighted on the cover of the March 2026 issue of&nbsp;<em>National Geographic<\/em>, highlighting the growing importance and predominance of its work in scaling spider silk production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested persons can order a copy of&nbsp;<em>National Geographic<\/em>&nbsp;featuring Kraig Labs at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ngsingleissues.nationalgeographic.com\/natgeo-march-2026\">https:\/\/ngsingleissues.nationalgeographic.com\/natgeo-march-2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can purchase a digital copy of the article directly from&nbsp;<em>National Geographic<\/em>&nbsp;at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/science\/article\/spider-silk-silkworm-genetic-engineering\">https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/science\/article\/spider-silk-silkworm-genetic-engineering<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the latest updates on Kraig Labs and its pioneering spider silk technologies, visit&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kraiglabs.com\/\">www.kraiglabs.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For details about recent Kraig Labs advancements, please watch the Company\u2019s investor updates at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kraiglabs.com\/videos\">www.kraiglabs.com\/videos<\/a>&nbsp;or on the Company\u2019s YouTube Channel&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@kraigbiocraftlaboratories2270\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@kraigbiocraftlaboratories2270<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To view the most recent news from Kraig Labs and\/or to sign up for Company alerts, please go&nbsp;to&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kraiglabs.com\/news\">www.KraigLabs.com\/news<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* For a description of our historical leadership in this technology, please follow this link&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kraiglabs.com\/world-leader\/\">https:\/\/www.kraiglabs.com\/world-leader\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kraig Labs Technology is built on a scientifically engineered silkworm, which incorporates key spider silk proteins to produce recombinant spider silk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc.
