SCOTTSDALE, AZ --(Marketwired - December 08, 2016) - Lattice Biologics Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: LBL) BLVKF ("Lattice" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has issued new common shares and eliminated significant debt.

Pursuant to the Company's news release issued November 10, 2016, which announced an increase in the amount of its planned conversion of debt (publicized on August 10, 2016) into Lattice Biologics equity from US$474,570 to US$667,252, Lattice has issued 4,529,878 common shares (the "Shares") and 1,333,196 warrants to settle US$667,252 of outstanding debt. Consequently, said debt has been extinguished in full. The Shares are subject to a hold period expiring on April 6, 2017.

The participating investors include service providers who continue to work closely with the company and share in Lattice's mission to honor the gift of life and further the science of personalized medicine.

The elimination of this debt empowers the Company's ability to increase production of AmnioVisc™, its recently announced 100% natural, minimally processed amniotic fluid supplement for the treatment of joint pain associated with Osteoarthritis. Additionally, this development supports the Company's ongoing R&D efforts, including advancements for its LatBioGel™, a revolutionary product powered by Lattice Biologics' proprietary extracellular matrix (ECM) technology. LatBioGel's innovation lies in its ability to accurately recreate complex tumor microenvironments for more accurate chemotherapy analysis.
