$BURU News: First application case under the NUBURU–SunCubes Head of Terms highlights NUBURU blue-laser performance, Lyocon’s manufacturing role and a multi-billion-dollar addressable and serviceable market opportunity across underwater autonomy, subsea power and maritime infrastructure
NUBURU, Through Lyocon, to Design Blue-Laser Technology for SunCubes’ DEEP LIGHT Underwater Power Platform
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU – the “Company”), a next-generation dual-use Defense & Security platform company, today announced that its recently signed Head of Terms with SunCubes S.r.l. (“SunCubes”) is expected to support a first concrete application case: the joint design of a blue-laser power-beam solution for submarine and underwater environments, with potential integration into SunCubes’ DEEP LIGHT underwater wireless power platform.
NUBURU Partners with SunCubes For Underwater Defense Technology Bringing Blue Laser Tech To The Sea
Share
SunCubes recently announced the award of the DEEP LIGHT project. The project has been recognized and supported by the Italian Navy through the Polo Nazionale della Dimensione Subacquea (“PNS”) as a strategic initiative for the development of national underwater technological capabilities.
Under the planned implementation, NUBURU, through Lyocon S.r.l. (“Lyocon”), its Italian laser-technology factory and photonics center of excellence, is expected to work with SunCubes to design and potentially supply the blue-laser technology layer that can be integrated into the DEEP LIGHT platform, subject to definitive agreements, technical validation, regulatory clearances and applicable customer-program requirements.
SunCubes recognizes the performance advantage that blue-laser technologies can provide in submarine environments. Under the recently signed NUBURU–SunCubes Head of Terms, the two companies are now working to define the requirements of a blue-laser-based solution that could support a new generation of underwater optical power transmission systems.
The strategic value of this first application case is not driven by the initial project size, but by the potential validation of NUBURU’s blue-laser technology quality in one of the most demanding environments for optical power transmission: the underwater domain. Underwater laser power transfer requires blue-laser-source quality, beam stability, optical efficiency, thermal reliability and precise integration with beam-control and safety systems.
NUBURU believes that the combination of its blue-laser technology and Lyocon’s manufacturing and integration capabilities with SunCubes’ technology platform positions the NUBURU group to participate in the industrialization of laser-source solutions for subsea environments, where blue and blue-green optical wavelengths may provide performance advantages for defense and commercial requirements.
SunCubes announced that DEEP LIGHT, developed in partnership with Dualee, was presented and awarded at the PNS Progress Meeting held at the Naval Support and Experimentation Center of the Marina Militare in La Spezia. The project aims to create an underwater laser-based wireless power platform for autonomous underwater systems, enabling contactless recharging and extended operations across civilian, offshore and defense applications.
DEEP LIGHT is designed around an underwater energy distribution architecture based on a high-power laser transmitter and a receiver integrated into autonomous underwater vehicles. The system is intended to operate in the blue-green optical window, optimized for marine propagation, enabling contactless underwater energy transfer over distances of several tens of meters.
Blue-laser technology offers a potential advantage for underwater optical power transmission because blue and blue-green wavelengths can experience relatively lower attenuation in water compared with many other wavelengths, depending on water conditions and system design. As a result, high-quality blue-laser sources may support more efficient underwater power delivery and optical communication in submerged environments.
Within this technological framework, the Head of Terms signed with SunCubes is intended not only to evaluate potential commercial opportunities, but also to support the joint development of next-generation high-performance subsea systems. By combining the blue-laser capabilities of the NUBURU-Lyocon platform with SunCubes’ beam-control and optical power platform, the parties intend to explore efficient and scalable solutions for underwater power transmission and other mission-critical subsea applications.
CDP-Linked Investor Ecosystem Strengthens SunCubes’ Strategic Profile
SunCubes’ investor ecosystem further reinforces the strategic relevance of the collaboration. As disclosed in NUBURU’s Form 8-K relating to the Head of Terms, SunCubes’ current investors include venture capital special purpose vehicles affiliated with CDP Venture Capital SGR S.p.A. (“CDP Venture Capital”). CDP Venture Capital is an Italian venture capital asset manager owned 70% by CDP Equity S.p.A. and 30% by Invitalia S.p.A.; CDP Equity is a holding company of the Cassa Depositi e Prestiti S.p.A. (“CDP”) group.
CDP is Italy’s National Promotional Institution and a joint-stock company under public control. Its majority shareholder is the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance, which holds 82.77% of CDP, while foundations of banking origin hold the remaining 17.23%. CDP, CDP Equity, CDP Venture Capital and the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance are not direct parties to the NUBURU–SunCubes Head of Terms.
NUBURU believes this CDP Venture Capital-linked investor ecosystem is strategically important because it aligns SunCubes with Italy’s national innovation and technology-transfer priorities in domains such as robotics, infrastructure, energy transfer, dual-use technologies and maritime applications.
Why NUBURU Blue-Laser Technology Matters
The expected Lyocon contribution directly reflects the industrial logic of the NUBURU–SunCubes Head of Terms. The signed Head of Terms states that the partnership is aimed at integrating NUBURU’s know-how and production capacity in blue lasers and other laser frequency spectra into SunCubes’ product portfolio, where the laser module is one of the core elements. The Head of Terms also identifies laser-based submarine power-beaming, counter-marine drone applications and laser-based data transmission systems among the contemplated development areas.
Lyocon is expected to serve as NUBURU’s laser-source supplier and photonics integration platform to offer a solution that, among other capabilities, may meet the requirements for the DEEP LIGHT application case. Its expected role includes blue-laser source design, supply, optical integration, laser-module engineering, system validation support and potential industrialization pathways for defense and dual-use underwater laser applications.
The Head of Terms expressly contemplates laser-source integration via Lyocon within a Milan-based R&D hub focused on optical engineering, beam-control development, thermal management, AI-assisted engagement logic, system validation and testing. It also provides that directed-energy systems may be industrialized at Italian facilities, including Lyocon in Vigevano and Tekne in Ortona.
Addressable and Serviceable Market: Underwater Autonomy, Subsea Power and Maritime Infrastructure
NUBURU views the Head of Terms signed with SunCubes as an entry point into a broader serviceable market for underwater applications, including autonomous underwater vehicles, subsea sensors, offshore energy inspection, underwater charging infrastructure, naval ISR, port and harbor security, critical subsea infrastructure protection and underwater communications.
Independent estimates indicate that the underlying market is expanding. MarketsandMarkets estimates the autonomous underwater vehicle market will grow from $3.13 billion in 2025 to $4.64 billion by 2030, driven by defense surveillance, offshore energy inspection, deep-sea research and autonomous mapping missions. MarkNtel Advisors estimates the underwater wireless communication market at approximately $2.3 billion in 2024, growing to $4.3 billion by 2030.
NUBURU does not view these markets as direct revenue forecasts. Instead, the Company believes they define the broader addressable and serviceable opportunity where high-quality blue-laser sources, optical power transmission, underwater recharge and laser-based communications may become enabling technologies for longer-duration autonomous subsea operations. The Company’s future serviceable obtainable market, if any, will depend on definitive agreements, technical validation, regulatory clearances, customer procurement and the ability to industrialize qualified systems.
Beyond establishing product development objectives for integrated counter-UAV platforms, the recently signed Head of Terms with SunCubes expands NUBURU’s addressable market into emerging underwater applications that extend beyond the Company’s traditional operating domains. In these applications, NUBURU’s blue-laser technology may offer a differentiated performance advantage, positioning the Company to address mission-critical requirements that conventional laser technologies may not meet as effectively.

$BURU NUBURU Files Golden Power Notification for Majority Acquisition of Tekne, Launching Formal Review by the Italian Government
Golden Power Filing Initiates Review of NUBURU’s Planned Majority Acquisition of Tekne, Supporting Approximately US$459 Million of Pro Rata Exposure to Tekne’s Projected 2026-2030 Revenue Within NUBURU’s Expanding Defense & Security Platform
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU), the next-generation dual-use Defense & Security integrated platform company focused on non-kinetic effects and directed-energy technologies, electronic warfare and defense mobility programs, software-orchestrated defense systems, and advanced manufacturing, today announced that NUBURU and NUBURU Defense LLC have submitted the Golden Power notification to the Italian Government in connection with NUBURU's planned acquisition of a controlling 70% ownership stake in Tekne S.p.A. ("Tekne").
The filing represents a major execution milestone for NUBURU’s transformation into a next-generation Defense & Security platform company, formally advancing the proposed majority acquisition of Tekne and initiating the Italian Government review process required to complete one of the Company’s most significant strategic transactions to date.
Under the ordinary Golden Power review timetable, the Italian Government generally has a 45-day review period from receipt of a completed notification. The review period and outcome remain subject to the applicable statutory process, including potential information requests, requests for clarifications, suspensions, prescriptions, conditions, commitments or other actions by the competent authorities. Completion of the Tekne transaction remains subject to Golden Power authorization and the other closing steps contemplated by the SPA.
The Golden Power notification filing package includes the definitive SPA, supporting transaction materials and Tekne's 2026-2030 industrial and business plan. NUBURU believes the filing package demonstrates the strategic importance of the transaction for Italian industrial continuity, defense readiness, employment growth, technological development and NATO-aligned security capabilities.
Golden Power Filing Formally Launches Review by the Italian Government of the Planned Acquisition by NUBURU of a Controlling 70% Ownership Stake in Tekne
The notification covers the proposed acquisition by NUBURU Defense LLC, potentially through a newly incorporated Italian acquisition vehicle controlled directly or indirectly by NUBURU, of a 70% ownership stake in Tekne.
As previously announced, the SPA establishes a structured path for NUBURU to acquire majority ownership and control of Tekne through a capital increase, conversion of existing shareholder financing and the purchase of additional shares from Tekne's historical shareholders, subject to completion of the Golden Power process and other transaction steps contemplated by the SPA.
NUBURU and Tekne have conducted extensive and constructive pre-filing discussions with representatives of the Italian Government, with the objective of anticipating national-interest considerations, aligning the industrial plan with Italy's strategic priorities and reducing regulatory execution risk, while the authorization remains subject to Italian Government review.
Business Plan Deposited with Notification Filing Highlights Scale, Turnaround and Italian Growth
The business plan deposited with the Golden Power notification filing projects Tekne cumulative 2026-2030 revenue/value of production of approximately EUR564.7 million, or approximately US$655 million at an indicative EUR/USD rate of 1.16. At NUBURU's expected 70% ownership, this would represent approximately US$459 million on a pro rata economic ownership basis, subject to Golden Power authorization, transaction completion and Tekne's achievement of the plan.
The plan projects a ramp in Tekne revenue/value of production from approximately EUR49.6 million in 2026 to approximately EUR198.8 million in 2030, driven by existing customer backlog, new order intake, defense electronics, international defense expansion and the expected support of the NUBURU platform.
The deposited business plan also outlines significant employment and technical-capability expansion in Italy to support the targeted ramp in Tekne revenue/value of production, with Tekne’s average workforce projected to increase to approximately 536 full-time employees (FTE) by 2030, supported by production expansion in Abruzzo and Emilia-Romagna and the development of the Centro Tecnologico di Ortona (CTO).
The business plan has been prepared based on Tekne management information and applicable Italian domestic accounting principles. The projected figures may be subject to review or adjustment if presented, reconciled or reported under US GAAP or other accounting standards, and actual results may differ materially from the projections.
Filing Package Designed to Address Italy’s National-Interest Priorities
The notification and the deposited business plan filing clearly demonstrate NUBURU's commitment to preserving Tekne as an Italian strategic industrial asset, avoiding delocalization and strengthening the Company's role as a defense and security platform serving NATO, U.S. and allied markets.
The filing package highlights a comprehensive industrial and strategic development plan focused on:
Preserving and expanding Tekne's Italian industrial footprint across Poggiofiorito, Ortona and Guastalla;
Supporting Tekne's exit from financial distress and ensuring its operational and financial continuity, execution of existing customer programs and sustainable growth over the long term;
Protecting strategic defense technologies, intellectual property and sensitive information;
Strengthening governance, security and compliance safeguards, including the potential use of an Italian acquisition vehicle and dedicated security oversight;
Supporting employment growth and technical capability development in Italy;
Strengthening Tekne's role within NATO and allied defense ecosystems; and
Expanding integrated capabilities across mobility, electronic warfare, CEMA, counter-drone systems, non-kinetic defense technologies and deployable advanced manufacturing.
Tekne Expected to Become Cornerstone Asset Within NUBURU Defense & Security Platform
Upon completion of the transaction, NUBURU expects Tekne to serve as a cornerstone industrial and electronic warfare platform within the Company's dual-use integrated Defense & Security strategy across NATO-aligned markets. The combined platform is designed to integrate:
Electronic Warfare and CEMA capabilities;
Counter-UAS and counter-drone technologies;
Tactical mobility and specialized military vehicle systems;
Directed-energy and non-kinetic defense technologies; and
AI-driven operational resilience, software orchestration and deployable advanced manufacturing capabilities.
Transaction Recap
As previously announced, the signed SPA establishes a binding path for NUBURU to acquire majority ownership and control of Tekne based on a fixed EUR52 million pre-money valuation of Tekne and a transaction structure comprising:
Conversion of approximately EUR17.692 million of shareholder financing into equity, including the existing EUR16.692 million financing and the EUR1.0 million advance contemplated by the SPA;
A cash contribution of up to EUR12.0 million as part of a EUR29.692 million capital increase designed to support industrial expansion, operating continuity and long-term platform growth;
A EUR5.2 million purchase of additional shares from Tekne's historical shareholders; and
A revenue-based earn-out payable to Tekne's historical shareholders equal to 5% of Tekne annual revenues, as determined under US GAAP, generated from fiscal years 2027 through 2036, capped at EUR29.692 million.
Taken together, the SPA provides for aggregate potential transaction consideration and investment commitments of up to approximately EUR64.6 million. Additional details of the SPA, including the full terms and conditions of the earn-out, closing mechanics and other transaction terms, are expected to be described in NUBURU's Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC.
Upon completion of the transaction, NUBURU is expected to hold 70% of Tekne, enabling majority ownership and potential consolidation of Tekne within NUBURU's expanding Defense & Security platform.
Management Commentary
Alessandro Zamboni, Executive Chairman and Co-CEO of NUBURU, commented:
"The filing of the Golden Power notification is a critical milestone in our path to majority ownership control of Tekne. We have moved from signing the definitive SPA to formally initiating the Italian Government review process, supported by a detailed industrial and strategic plan that is designed to preserve and expand Tekne's Italian footprint, protect strategic technologies and accelerate the expansion of NUBURU’s next-generation Defense & Security platform."
Dario Barisoni, Co-CEO of NUBURU and CEO of NUBURU Defense LLC, added:
"The business plan submitted as part of the filing of the Golden Power notification highlights the scale of the opportunity we see in Tekne. The plan projects approximately US$655 million of cumulative 2026-2030 revenue/value of production, representing approximately US$459 million on a 70% pro rata economic ownership basis, while supporting employment growth, technical capability development and the expansion of strategic defense capabilities in Italy."

NUBURU Expands Defense & Security Platform with Laser Arm Initiative Targeting the Fast-Growing Directed-Energy and Counter-UAS MarketsJune 4, 2026 6:30 AM
Business Wire Planned Lyocon-led strategic alliance combines laser-source manufacturing, beam-control and optical power technologies to pursue next-generation counter-drone, defense mobility and critical-infrastructure opportunities across U.S., European and allied markets. NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU – the “Company”), the next-generation dual-use Defense & Security integrated platform company focused on non-kinetic effects and directed-energy technologies, electronic warfare and defense mobility programs, software-orchestrated defense systems and advanced manufacturing, today announced the signing of a binding head of terms (the “Agreement”) with SunCubes S.r.l. (“SunCubes”), an Italian developer of laser-based wireless power transmission, beam-control, pointing, tracking and safety technologies. The Agreement has been signed by NUBURU, Inc., with NUBURU intending to implement the definitive investment and industrial cooperation through Lyocon S.r.l. (“Lyocon”), its Italian laser-engineering and manufacturing subsidiary, as the designated NUBURU group entity. The structure reflects the core business logic of the transaction: the alliance is laser-focused, and Lyocon is intended to act as the laser factory and photonics center of excellence of the NUBURU group. Under the Agreement, NUBURU intends to make, directly or through Lyocon as the designated NUBURU group entity, a staged strategic investment of up to €1.0 million in SunCubes. The contemplated investment is structured as advance payments toward a future SunCubes capital increase, consisting of an initial €250,000 advance payment upon execution of definitive agreements and an additional €750,000 advance payment following receipt of applicable Golden Power and export-control clearances. The advance payments are expected to convert into SunCubes corporate capital through a reserved capital increase, subject to the conditions set out in the definitive agreements. The planned Lyocon-led alliance is designed to create a new Laser Arm capability within the NUBURU Defense & Security Platform. The business objective is to combine Lyocon’s laser-source technologies, laser manufacturing and photonics integration capabilities with SunCubes’ beam-control, tracking, and optical power-beaming technologies Through this strategic partnership with SunCubes, Nuburu is set to introduce a multi-layered suite of laser-based innovations tailored for the drone and counter-UAV sectors. The collaboration will expand the company's non-lethal defense ecosystem by developing a lightweight, portable laser interdiction system deployable on both rifles and drone platforms, alongside a high-power, vehicle-mounted laser arm for extended-range missions. Beyond tactical defense, the partnership introduces pioneering laser power-beaming applications, including an in-air drone recharging technology designed to enable continuous flight operations for long-endurance missions, and a remote wireless charging system for surveillance equipment in off-grid critical infrastructure and advanced military positions. Furthermore, the joint initiative will deliver a highly resilient, laser-based communication system capable of securing real-time, high-capacity data transmission directly from the operational field. These combined capabilities position Nuburu to establish a comprehensive, laser-centric ecosystem spanning counter-UAV defense, tactical deterrence, long-range power beaming, advanced surveillance, critical asset protection, and secure data communications Lyocon: The Laser Factory of the NUBURU Group NUBURU completed the acquisition of Lyocon in January 2026 through Nuburu Subsidiary Inc., with SEC filings describing Lyocon as an Italian laser-engineering and photonics company specializing in advanced laser sources, precision optical systems and customized laser platforms. Lyocon is expected to play a central role in NUBURU’s industrial strategy by providing the laser-source manufacturing, optical integration, laser-module development and system-engineering capabilities required to move from individual laser components toward integrated defense and security solutions. Within the SunCubes framework, Lyocon is expected to support laser-source integration, system validation, industrialization and potential assembly of Laser Arm systems for vehicle, mobile, fixed-site and dual-use applications. The planned cooperation also supports NUBURU’s European industrial footprint. The Agreement contemplates a Milan R&D hub focused on optical engineering, beam-control development, laser-source integration via Lyocon, thermal management, AI-assisted engagement logic and system validation. Directed-energy systems may be industrialized at Italian facilities, including Lyocon in Vigevano and Tekne in Ortona, for Laser Arm assembly, vehicle-platform integration and EU/NATO-compliant export preparation. Market Opportunity and Competitive Positioning The Laser Arm initiative is designed to position NUBURU in a high-growth segment of the defense market where counter-drone, directed-energy and non-kinetic defense systems are moving from demonstration programs to deployment priorities. The planned Lyocon-led alliance is intended to combine laser-source manufacturing, beam-control integration, optical power transmission, safety architecture, tracking, thermal management and vehicle-ready deployment into a modular platform for counter-UAS, anti-drone defense, tactical mobility, expeditionary systems, secure optical power and critical-infrastructure protection. Independent market estimates point to a rapidly expanding opportunity. MarketsandMarkets estimates the global anti-drone market will grow from $4.48 billion in 2025 to $14.51 billion by 2030, while IMARC estimates the broader directed-energy weapons market will reach $35.32 billion by 2034. The most directly relevant segment for the Laser Arm initiative — directed-energy counter-UAS — is estimated by Global Market Insights to grow from $1.6 billion in 2025 to $6.8 billion by 2035. The competitive landscape includes major defense contractors and specialist directed-energy companies, but NUBURU believes the market remains in the early stages of industrialization. Rather than competing as a traditional air-defense prime, NUBURU intends to pursue a differentiated value-chain role through Lyocon: laser-source supply, laser integration, power-beaming, beam-control integration and vehicle-ready Laser Arm implementation. This positioning is designed to serve governments, defense primes, military-vehicle manufacturers, critical-infrastructure operators and allied-market system integrators seeking scalable, non-kinetic counter-drone capabilities. The signed Agreement supports this strategy by expressly targeting development and industrialization of vehicle-integrated Laser Arm systems, non-kinetic counter-UAS applications, secure optical power and related dual-use laser technologies. Strategic Fit with NUBURU’s Defense & Security Platform The Laser Arm initiative is expected to add a new directed-energy pillar to NUBURU’s Defense & Security Platform, reinforcing the Company’s broader strategy of combining hardware-enabled and software-orchestrated defense capabilities across multiple mission areas. NUBURU’s recent Tekne transaction announcement described Tekne as part of the Company’s next-generation Defense & Security Platform and highlighted expected opportunities across defense mobility, electronic warfare and NATO-aligned markets. The planned SunCubes collaboration complements that trajectory by adding laser-source integration, beam control, optical power and non-kinetic counter-UAS capabilities through Lyocon. The business objective is to create a platform architecture where Lyocon provides the laser foundation, SunCubes contributes beam-control and power-beaming technologies, and NUBURU coordinates the broader defense-market strategy, industrial partnerships, mobility integration and commercialization pathway. Management Commentary Alessandro Zamboni, Executive Chairman and Co-CEO of NUBURU, commented: “The strategic value of this initiative goes far beyond the contemplated investment. Our objective is to strengthen Lyocon’s role as the laser factory of the NUBURU group and create a differentiated Laser Arm capability addressing some of the most important requirements emerging across defense, security and critical-infrastructure markets.” “Counter-drone systems, directed-energy technologies and non-kinetic defense capabilities are rapidly moving from research programs to procurement priorities. Through Lyocon and our broader Defense & Security Platform, we believe NUBURU is building a unique combination of laser manufacturing, photonics integration, defense mobility, electronic warfare and software-enabled mission capabilities that can create significant long-term value.” Paola Zanzola, Executive Director of Lyocon, commented: “Lyocon was acquired to provide NUBURU with a scalable industrial laser platform.

Following the signing of the SPA, NUBURU is advancing the notification package and related industrial plan for submission within 10 days of the May 26, 2026 signing of the SPA. The filing is expected to be supported by a comprehensive industrial and strategic development plan focused on: Preserving and expanding Tekne’s Italian industrial footprint; Protecting strategic defense technologies and intellectual property; Supporting employment growth and technical capability development in Italy; Supporting Tekne’s 2026-2030 business plan, which projects cumulative revenue of approximately US$655 million over the period (Italian domestic GAAP), representing approximately US$459 million on a 70% pro rata economic ownership basis; Strengthening Tekne’s role within NATO and allied defense ecosystems; and Expanding integrated capabilities across mobility, electronic warfare, counter-drone systems and non-kinetic defense technologies. Tekne Expected to Become Foundational Asset Within NUBURU Defense Platform Upon completion, NUBURU expects Tekne to serve as a cornerstone industrial and electronic warfare platform within the Company’s dual-use integrated Defense & Security strategy across NATO-aligned markets. The combined platform is designed to integrate: Electronic Warfare and CEMA capabilities; Counter-UAS and counter-drone technologies; Tactical mobility and specialized military vehicle systems; Directed-energy and non-kinetic defense technologies; and AI-driven operational resilience and software orchestration capabilities. Platform Scale Expected to Accelerate Revenue Expansion and Industrial Growth Based on Tekne’s business plan, prepared under Italian domestic GAAP, Tekne projects cumulative 2026-2030 revenue of approximately US$655 million, including a ramp from approximately US$58 million in 2026 to approximately US$231 million in 2030. At NUBURU’s expected 70% ownership, this would represent approximately US$459 million on a pro rata economic ownership basis, subject to closing, Golden Power authorization and Tekne’s achievement of the plan. The transaction is expected to accelerate NUBURU’s transformation into an integrated operating defense and security platform at scale with enhanced and expanding exposure and access to high-growth defense and security markets. Key anticipated growth drivers include: Expansion of military mobility and special vehicle programs; Scaling of electronic warfare and CEMA systems; Development of non-kinetic defense applications leveraging NUBURU’s directed-energy technologies; Expansion opportunities across NATO and allied markets; and Integration with NUBURU’s broader defense ecosystem, including Lyocon, Orbit and the Maddox Defense joint venture. Management Commentary Alessandro Zamboni, Executive Chairman and Co-CEO of NUBURU, commented: “The signing of the definitive SPA is a transformational milestone for NUBURU. We now have a binding agreement that sets out the path to majority control of Tekne, with a clear 70% ownership target, meaningful capital already committed and a defined Golden Power process. The transaction is expected to accelerate NUBURU’s transformation into an integrated operating defense and security platform at scale with enhanced and expanding exposure and access to high-growth defense and security markets.” Dario Barisoni, Co-CEO of NUBURU and CEO of NUBURU Defense LLC, added: “Tekne provides NUBURU with a highly strategic industrial foundation spanning defense mobility, electronic warfare and mission-critical systems integration. Based on Tekne’s business plan, Tekne projects cumulative 2026-2030 revenue of approximately US$655 million, representing approximately US$459 million on a 70% pro rata economic ownership basis.” About Nuburu, Inc NUBURU, Inc.
