Nuburu SEC Filings

Nuburu, Inc. entered a material definitive agreement for its subsidiary, Nuburu Defense, to acquire all ownership interests in Orbit S.r.l. and to invest up to $5.0 million of equity into Orbit for working and growth capital.

The $8.75 million non‑cash portion is planned as preferred shares with 5:1 voting relative to common, anti‑dilution protections, and 1:1 convertibility, subject to stockholder and NYSE American approvals.
