Nuburu, Inc. Implements 1-for-4.99 Reverse Stock Split to Regain NYSE American Compliance

DENVER, CO, February 27, 2026 — Nuburu, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU), a manufacturer in the field of electrical machinery and equipment, has announced a significant corporate action as part of its ongoing effort to maintain compliance with the NYSE American listing requirements.

Key Highlights from the Report

• Reverse Stock Split: Nuburu enacted a 1-for-4.99 reverse stock split, effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 27, 2026. Trading on a split-adjusted basis will commence at the opening of the market on March 2, 2026, under the same ticker symbol “BURU”. The company’s common stock has also been assigned a new CUSIP number (670…) as a result of this action.
• Reason for the Reverse Split: The split was implemented after trading in Nuburu’s common stock was halted by NYSE American on February 13, 2026, due to the stock price dropping below the exchange’s minimum trading price requirement of \$0.10. The reverse split is designed to increase the per-share trading price and regain compliance with the exchange’s minimum price requirement.
• Potential Delisting Risk: Management cautions that if the post-split share price falls below \$0.10 again, trading will be halted and Nuburu’s shares could be delisted from NYSE American. There is no assurance that the reverse split will result in a sustained increase above the \$0.10 threshold.
• Shareholder Impact: The reverse split consolidates every 4.99 shares of common stock into one share, with resulting fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share. The number of authorized shares remains unchanged at 900 million common shares and 50 million preferred shares. Outstanding equity awards will also be adjusted accordingly. The par value of common and preferred stock is unaffected.
• Corporate Filing: Nuburu filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware to formalize the reverse stock split. No other amendments to the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or changes to the fiscal year, were reported.

Matters of Importance for Shareholders

• Stock Price Sensitivity: The reverse stock split is a material event and directly affects the number of shares held by investors. While intended to help regain compliance, reverse splits often have mixed market reactions and may be considered negative by some market participants as they can signal financial distress or efforts to maintain exchange listing.
• Ongoing Compliance Risks: Even after the split, failure to maintain the requisite trading price may result in delisting, which could severely impact liquidity and marketability of Nuburu shares.
• Forward-Looking Statements and Risks: The company warns of risks including its ability to realize the intended benefits of the reverse split, meet NYSE American listing standards, potential loss of its patent portfolio through foreclosure, inability to access sufficient capital, and changing economic or regulatory conditions.

Additional Details for Investors

• Executive Signatory: The report and related filings were signed by Alessandro Zamboni, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Nuburu, Inc.
• No Change to Capital Structure: Only the number of issued and outstanding shares is affected. Authorized shares and par values are unchanged.
• Documentation: The full text of the Certificate of Amendment is available as Exhibit 3.1 to the 8-K filing.
• Trading and New CUSIP: Investors should note the new CUSIP for post-split shares for any transactions or account adjustments.
