NUBURU Secures $12M Offering Amid NYSE Compliance Fight

NUBURU (NYSE American: BURU), a company undergoing a strategic transformation from a laser-technology firm into a dual-use Defense & Security platform provider, has successfully closed a $12 million public offering. This critical financial move comes as the company navigates significant challenges on the NYSE American exchange, where its stock was halted on February 13, 2026, after falling below the $0.10 threshold. The offering, which included 58,379,137 shares of common stock, 50,711,772 pre-funded warrants, and common warrants exercisable for up to 163,636,364 shares, was facilitated by the exclusive placement agent Joseph Gunnar & Co. LLC. The capital raise is a pivotal step in NUBURU's efforts to stabilize its market position and fund its strategic pivot toward high-value defense, security, and operational-resilience markets through proprietary directed-energy technologies and mission-critical software.

In conjunction with the offering, NUBURU announced a 1-for-4.99 reverse stock split, a maneuver designed to boost its share price and restore compliance with the NYSE American's minimum trading price requirement. The company anticipates that trading will resume on March 2, 2026, following this corporate action. However, management has issued a stark warning: if the stock price again drops below $0.10 after trading resumes, the shares could face another halt and potential delisting. This underscores the precarious nature of NUBURU's current financial standing and the high stakes involved in its recovery efforts. The press release detailing these developments is available for further review, providing investors with essential insights into the company's trajectory and risk factors.
