$BURU -NUBURU Provides Shareholder Update on Strategic Progress and Path to Controlling Interest in Tekne
09/09/2025
CENTENNIAL, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU) (“NUBURU” or the “Company”), a global pioneer in high-performance blue laser technology, today issued a Letter to Shareholders providing an update on recent progress and outlining the next phase of its strategy to build a comprehensive Defense & Security Hub.
Dear Shareholders,
Over the past several weeks, NUBURU has made significant progress in advancing our “transformation agenda”. One of the most important next steps in that process is the establishment of a capital foundation to drive that transformation. Coming news from the Company will provide plenty of context for that remark.
Simply put, take it as an unambiguous sign that we are fully committed to delivering on the milestones we have communicated over the past 6 months.
The foundation of our Defense & Security Hub is taking shape. This includes not only our core laser technology but also the integration of Tekne’s advanced defense and control platform and innovative software solutions aimed at digitalizing the operational resilience capabilities of any mission critical business. Together, these elements are designed to create a powerful ecosystem capable of addressing emerging defense and security needs across multiple markets.
We are particularly excited about the newly formed 80/20 U.S. joint venture between NUBURU (via Nuburu Defense, LLC) and Tekne S.p.A. (“Tekne”). This venture provides us with a strong platform to serve both the Americas, APAC and NATO countries, leveraging Tekne’s $7.5 million in existing non-Italian orders and its expanding pipeline. As announced by Tekne on October 24, the strategic alliance with Flyer Defense will further enhance our U.S. JV’s ability to deliver high-mobility defense solutions, beginning with the Flyer 72-HD vehicle. We believe this combination of proven demand, pipeline strength, and strategic partnerships positions the joint venture for meaningful near-term impact.
Looking ahead, our financing strategy will continue to prioritize stability and alignment. We favor deliberate steps to expand our access to long-term, supportive capital. Our intent is to work with stable investors who share our vision and who are aligned with the interests of our loyal shareholder base. We will avoid financing structures that undermine shareholder value and instead focus on transactions that directly support the growth of our Defense & Security Hub and allow us to evaluate opportunistic acquisitions in blue-laser and defense technology.
In short, we are executing the plan we laid out and steadily building the foundation for sustained value creation. The months ahead will bring critical milestones, and we are confident that the trajectory we are on will strengthen NUBURU’s position as a leading player in defense technology innovation.
We will have more news over coming days that should add clarity and credibility to the path we have outlined toward the establishment of a state-of-the-art Defense & Security Hub. Until then, we thank you for your continued support and commitment as we move forward together.
Sincerely,
Alessandro Zamboni
