Nuburu Inc.

NUBURU, Inc. is targeting October 15, 2026 for the notarial meeting to complete its acquisition of a 70% controlling interest in Tekne S.p.A. through NUBURU Defense Italy S.r.l. The Italian Government granted Golden Power authorization on August 5, 2026, and NUBURU Defense Italy has been incorporated, clearing the transaction's principal regulatory and structural milestones. Completion remains subject to remaining corporate approvals, notarial formalities and final documentation, along with compliance with the conditions of the Golden Power authorization, updating the first-week-of-October timetable announced on September 22, 2026. Tekne, founded in 1990 with operations in Ortona, Poggiofiorito and Guastalla, brings approximately 185 personnel and, as previously disclosed, approximately $135.4 million in preliminary, unaudited net remaining order value covering 100% of Tekne, a figure that is not U.S. GAAP revenue, a measure of funded backlog or financial guidance. NUBURU Defense Italy, fully controlled by NUBURU Defense LLC, will serve as the Italian sub-holding through which NUBURU Defense LLC holds and manages its controlling interest in Tekne following completion.
