NUBURU files $100m SEC registration statement to enhance capital flexibility
NUBURU Inc of Centennial, CO, USA — which was founded in 2015 and develops and manufactures high-power industrial blue lasers — has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) a Form S-3 Registration statement for $100m. This strategic move is designed to provide the firm with the necessary capital to facilitate the ongoing acquisition plan and relaunch its Blue Laser technology business unit.
NUBURU aims to complete the purchase of defense and security businesses. This ‘Defense & Security Hub’ will focus on delivering products tailored for defense applications (DefenseTech Business) while providing robust operational resilience solutions through a software-as-a-service model (SaaS Business). Once finalized, these acquisitions are projected to contribute over $50m in revenue in 2025, subject to US GAAP accounting and the effective date of the closing.
The DefenseTech Business acquisition involves a well established scale-up company that is subject to governmental review under Italy’s ‘golden power’, which allows the Italian government to screen and potentially block foreign investments in sectors deemed critical to national security. This regulatory assessment, which is expected to be completed by end of June, aims to ensure that investments align with the national interest, particularly in areas such as defense and critical technologies.
NUBURU is also actively advancing its transformation plan, which emphasizes the adoption of exponential technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics by leveraging the strategic partnership with COEPTIS’ NexGenAI Affiliates Network, with particular reference to the SaaS Business and the Blue Laser technology go-to-market.
“We are embarking on an exciting journey to enhance our Blue-Laser business while creating the basis for our future leadership position in specific sectors the defense and security industry,” says executive chairman Alessandro Zamboni. “The prospective acquisition of the defense tech and operational resilience companies opens significant opportunities for growth,” he adds. “We intend to leverage the recent $100m shelf registration to fund this venture, as well as directly using innovative solutions such as the inventory monetization promoted by Supply@ME Capital Plc, as demonstrated by our investment commitment.”
To complete the acquisition process and prepare the necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals, NUBURU has also engaged a global ‘Big4’ firm for an independent evaluation of the two targeted businesses, alongside an international network of auditors to prepare their financial statements.
