NUBURU Stockholders Green-Light Strategy to Finance Transformation in Key Stockholder Vote

CENTENNIAL, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU) ('NUBURU' or the 'Company') is excited to announce that its stockholders have overwhelmingly approved key proposals in support of its financing strategy, a pivotal milestone in the Company's strategic transformation into a leader in defense-tech and operational resilience through its Defense & Security Hub initiative. This stockholder approval enables NUBURU to advance key strategic objectives, including: Electing Alessandro Zamboni as a Class III director to hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2028 and until his successor is duly elected and qualified. Increasing authorized share capital and access to equity financings to facilitate strategic growth initiatives. Ratifying financing agreements to support the working capital needs of the Company, which also provide us with the opportunity to eliminate the market overhang relating to the outstanding preferred stock (which is now classified as a current liability) and extinguish liabilities to key vendors, all of which will strengthen the Company's financial position and make the Company more attractive to investors. 'This stockholder vote is a resounding endorsement of the strategic goals of our transformation plan commenced in early January ' remarked Alessandro Zamboni, Executive Chairman of NUBURU. 'With key components of our ongoing financing structure now in place, we will continue to devote our time and attention to consummating our previously announced strategic investment in Tekne S.p.A., which will be core to our Defense & Security Hub initiative.' The strategic investment in Tekne S.p.A. ('Tekne') remains central to NUBURU's Defense & Security Hub initiative, also by leveraging the Company's high-performance blue laser technology know-how alongside Tekne's product roadmap, which includes its 'Tactical Bubble' defense products, currently operational in Italian military exercises, projected to generate revenue exceeding €50 million. The Tactical Bubble enables secure command-and-control networks, countering threats like drones and electromagnetic warfare, and is a key part of Italy's defense modernization. Management notes that this vote was a pivotal step for NUBURU, allowing for a critical restructuring process and providing the necessary financial flexibility to support the Company's announced business plans. Mr. Zamboni, re-elected for another term as a Director by this vote, has been central to that process. Mr. Zamboni also continues in his role as Executive Chairman of the Company. The completion of the Tekne strategic investment is contingent, among things, upon obtaining the 'Golden Power' authorization as mandated by Italian law. The review process for such authorization is anticipated to conclude by August 5, 2025, unless suspensions are invoked as a result of additional requests for clarification issued by the Italian authorities. Such suspensions would legally extend the review timeline and could consequently defer the expected deadline. The vote also included stockholder authorization for a potential reverse split if necessary to meet major exchange listing standards. That said, management states it will prioritize minimizing stockholder dilution as market conditions allow. Zamboni continued, 'A reverse stock split is a non-priority unless required for driving long-term sustainable growth through improved market positioning. We prefer to focus instead on driving shareholder value through execution and strategic partnerships.' About NUBURU Founded in 2015, NUBURU, Inc. has developed and previously manufactured industrial blue laser technology. Under a renewed strategic vision led by Executive Chairman Alessandro Zamboni, the Company is expanding into complementary sectors including defense-tech, security, and critical infrastructure resilience. NUBURU is leveraging a combination of internal innovation and strategic acquisitions to build out its Defense & Security Hub, targeting long-term, sustainable growth across high-value government and enterprise markets.

NUBURU Advances Defense-Tech Transformation with Strategic Acquisitions and €50M Military Deployment

CENTENNIAL, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU), a global leader in high-power blue laser technology, today announced significant progress in its strategic transformation, including developments within its planned Defense & Security Hub and key acquisitions. NUBURU, Inc. reports that the regulatory approval process for the acquisition of Tekne SpA ('Tekne') currently under review through Italy's Golden Power process is progressing positively and in line with expectations. NUBURU's team is working closely with the relevant Italian authorities, and current indications suggest a favorable outcome. Meanwhile, Tekne remains fully focused on its delivery plan, supporting, among its portfolio of clients, the Italian Ministry of Defense with pivotal technological solutions, with reference to its state-of-the-art "Tactical Bubble" systems, which are currently in full deployment. 'The Tactical Bubble is a next-generation battlefield system developed by Tekne and recognized by the Italian Armed Forces. It enables real-time communication, decision-making, and data sharing among military units, dramatically improving situational awareness and personnel safety in hostile environments,' said Alessandro Zamboni, Executive Chairman of NUBURU. 'This confirms that the targeted acquisition of Tekne will be a cornerstone of NUBURU's broader Defense & Security Hub strategy, which also includes the acquisition of a start-up Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform designed to enhance operational resilience across critical infrastructure and defense networks,' continued Mr. Zamboni. Designed to counter modern threats including hostile drones, cyber attacks, and electromagnetic warfare, the Tactical Bubble features integrated monitoring, identification, and countermeasure capabilities. It also establishes a robust, secure command-and-control network that supports fast, reliable mission execution in complex combat scenarios. Tekne's €50 Million Defense Project Under Full Deployment: Tekne continues to execute on its multi-phase contract with the Italian Ministry of Defense, focused on delivering its advanced 'Tactical Bubble' systems, which are now fully operational. This project - expected to generate over €50 million in revenue - was recently showcased during major military exercises, including 'Stella Alpina' and 'Scudo 25,' and is central to Italy's defense modernization efforts. Strengthening Position in Defense-Tech and Operational Resilience: NUBURU views the successful delivery of the Tactical Bubble system as a major validation of its strategy to expand into defense-tech, homeland security, and operational resilience sectors. These high-growth verticals are key to the group's broader transformation plan, which can also leverage the Company's leadership in high-performance laser applications into adjacent markets with long-term value potential. In parallel, NUBURU is moving forward with the completion of the due diligence and US GAAP/IFRS audit processes related to Tekne and the SaaS startup transaction. Both deals remain subject to customary regulatory review and stockholders approval. Commitment to Growth, Innovation, and Shareholder Value: NUBURU continues to invest in research and development to study the application of exponential technologies, like Artificial Intelligence (Agentic AI), and the business' synergies with the fintech solutions, by leveraging the recent strategic investment in the revolutionary inventory monetization platform powered by Supply@ME Capital Plc. Under the direction of Executive Chairman Alessandro Zamboni, the Company is committed to executing its long-term transformation strategy, driving sustained growth through strategic partnerships, product innovation, and acquisition-led expansion.
