Graphene 3D Enters Agreement to Acquire Graphene Laboratories

Graphene 3D Lab Inc. announces that it has entered into a non-arm's length share exchange agreement dated August 12, 2015 to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Graphene Laboratories Inc.

GLI is incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and is controlled and managed by Daniel Stolyarov and Elena Polyakova, insiders of Graphene 3D. GLI is active in the business of the manufacture and worldwide distribution of nanocarbon and graphene products. GLI is in the midst of completing its audited financial statements. For the last fiscal year ending December, 2014, GLI recorded annual revenues of in excess of USD $1,000,000 and was cash flow positive. Moreover, GLI has no material debt, and only trade creditors.

Some notable clients are: NASA, Ford Motor Co., GE, Apple, Xerox, Samsung, Harvard University, IBM and Stanford University.

Graphene Laboratories also holds a provisional patent relating to the manufacture and processing of graphene. In its most pure form, graphene is a single atomic layer of carbon atoms. Graphene is currently available in the market at various grades, with performance characteristics such as mechanical strength, and conductivity improving with fewer atomic layers. Graphene laboratories patented manufacturing process provides proof of concept to allow for a low-energy, chemical-free manufacture designed to achieve high-grade graphene material at a projected industry leading low cost. Graphene Laboratories has begun planning on a two-phased development program to advance this manufacturing process from bench-top prototype to a large-scale manufacturing operation.

In addition to the retail offering of graphene products, GLI offers analytical services, prototype development and consulting. The addition of GLI's business and graphene product lines will complement and expand the Company's existing business of research, development and production of polymer nanocomposite graphene-based filaments for fused filament fabrication in 3D printers.
