NUBURU Files $100M SEC Registration Statement to Enhance Capital Flexibility for Completion of Defense Acquisition and Blue Laser Technology Revitalization Targeting a $500B Defense Market

CENTENNIAL, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU), a leader in high-power blue laser technology, announced today that it has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form S-3 Registration statement for $100 million. This strategic move is designed to provide the company with the necessary capital to facilitate the ongoing acquisition plan and successfully relaunch its Blue Laser technology business unit.
As reaffirmed in the latest communications, NUBURU aims at completing the purchase of defense and security businesses, referred to herein as the "Defense & Security Hub" for confidentiality reasons. This hub will focus on delivering cutting-edge 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 $50 million in revenue for NUBURU in 2025, subject to U.S. GAAP accounting and the effective date of the closing.
The DefenseTech Business acquisition involves a well established scale-up company which 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 it's 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 (NASDAQ: COEP), 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 ', said Alessandro Zamboni, Executive Chairman of NUBURU. ' The prospective acquisition of the defense tech and operational resilience companies opens significant opportunities for growth, expecting to generate significant value for our stakeholders. We intend to leverage the recent 100M USD' shelf registration to fund this venture, as well as directly using innovative solutions such as the inventory monetisation 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.
As NUBURU progresses, it remains devoted to innovation and state-of-the-art technologies and aims to lead in high-growth sectors.

Sunken Bayesian superyacht lifted out of the water off Sicily

The Bayesian sank Aug. 19 off Porticello, near Palermo, during a violent storm as Lynch was treating friends to a cruise to celebrate his acquittal two months earlier in the U.S. on fraud charges. Lynch, his daughter and five others died. Fifteen people survived, including the captain and all crew members except the chef. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Italian authorities are conducting a full criminal investigation. Advertisement TMC Maritime, the company conducting the recovery operation, said the vessel has been slowly raised from the seabed, 50 meters (165-feet) down, over the past three days to allow the steel lifting straps, slings and harnesses to be secured under the keel. Eight steel lifting straps were used to put the hull upright and to form part of a steel wire lifting system that began raising the vessel out of the water Saturday. As the superyacht was raised, sea water was pumped out of the hull. Advertisement TMC Maritime said the vessel will be held upright, out of the water, for checks and preparations for its final journey. The floating crane platform will then move the Bayesian to Termini Imerese, where a special steel cradle is waiting for it. The Bayesian is missing its 72-meter (236-foot) mast, which was cut off and left on the seabed for future removal. The mast had to be detached to allow the hull to be brought to a nearly upright position that would allow the craft to be raised. British investigators said in an interim report issued last month that the yacht was knocked over by 'extreme wind' and couldn't recover. The report said the crew of the Bayesian had chosen the site where it sank as shelter from forecast thunderstorms. Wind speeds exceeded 70 knots (81 mph) at the time of the sinking and 'violently' knocked the vessel over to a 90-degree angle in under 15 seconds. Lynch, who sold Autonomy, a software maker he founded in 1996, to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion in 2011, had been acquitted on fraud charges in June 2024 by a federal court jury in San Francisco.

Pelosi added millions to net worth last year: report

She might be the She-Wolf of Wall Street. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California) raked in between $7.8 and $42.5 million in 2024 — meaning her estimated net worth with venture capitalist hubby Paul Pelosi could now top out at $413 million, new financial disclosures showed. The staggering sum is an eye-popping jump from 2023, when financial disclosures showed the couple's net worth topping out at a possible $370 million. Advertisement 4 The Pelosi's added between $7.8 and $42.5 million to their net worth in 2024. Getty Images Pelosi's exact net worth is not known because lawmakers are only required to disclose ranges. Market research firm Quiver Quantitative, which estimates a single figure based on daily stock values it tracks, placed the pair's 2024 worth at $257 million — up $26 million from a year earlier. Advertisement But the value of their various other ventures — which include but are not limited to a Napa Valley winery, ownership in a political data and consulting firm and a stake in a Bay area Italian restaurant — mean Pelosi's worth could be far higher in the estimated range. A large chunk of the couple's fortune has come from a sizable stock portfolio and timely trades, all done in Paul Pelosi's name. The former House Speaker, who's so infamous for trading Missouri Rep. Josh Hawley named a bill after her, and her husband dumped 5,000 shares of Microsoft stock worth an estimated $2.2 million in July — one of their largest sales in three years — a few short months before the FTC announced an antitrust investigation into the tech giant. They also sold 2,000 shares — worth an estimated $525,000 — of Visa stock, less than three months before the credit card company was hit with a DOJ monopoly lawsuit. Advertisement 4 Some have nicknamed Pelosi the 'Queen of Stocks.' Getty Images for The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Their best trade though might have been exercising a call option in December they bought in late 2023 at an estimated premium of $1.8 million, allowing them to nab 50,000 shares of hot AI chip stock NVIDIA for $12 a pop — less than one tenth of its market price. In total the couple paid an estimated $2.4 million for the investment, which on paper is now worth more than $7.2 million. NVIDIA wasn't their only AI play of 2024. Advertisement The couple also paid between $600,000 and $1.25 million for a call option on California cybersecurity company Palo Alto Networks in February, the same week it was revealed the White House briefed lawmakers on a serious national security threat related to Russia. The shares rose close to 20% in the days after the move. 4 A bill aiming to ban lawmakers and their spouses from trading individual stocks was named 'The PELOSI Act.' Jack Forbes / NY Post Design The option allowed the pair to scoop up 14,000 shares of Palo Alto in December at a $100 strike price — half its trading value. The company has been crushing earnings over the past year and the investment is now worth around $2.8 million. But the Queen of Stocks did suffer one setback — when she and Paul Pelosi ditched 2,500 shares of former Department of Government Efficiency boss Elon Musk's Tesla in June, losing somewhere between $100,000 and $1 million on the trade. In all, their investment portfolio pulled in an estimated 54% return in 2024, more than double the S&P 500's 25% gain — and beating every large hedge fund, according to numbers in Bloomberg's end-of-year tally of hedge funds' returns. 4 Pelosi and her good fortune have been at the center of arguments about why Congress shouldn't be allowed to trade stocks. Ron Sachs – CNP for NY Post The formidable profits come amid growing calls to ban Congress from trading individual stocks, arguing lawmakers have access to market-moving information ahead of the public. Advertisement Pelosi in the past rejected calls for a ban, stating 'we're a free‑market economy.' She has since softened her stance in the face of growing criticism. When asked in May whether Congress should pass a trading ban, she replied, 'If they do, they do.' 'Speaker Pelosi does not own any stocks, and she has no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions,' a spokesperson told The Post. The couple is already off to a rocking 2025. Advertisement In January, they bought call options for then-little-known artificial intelligence health firm, Tempus AI, which has since inked a $200 million deal with AstraZeneca and doubled its stock price. The couple also took out call options for energy company Vistra — whose stock climbed last month after it unveiled a massive $1.9 billion deal to acquire natural gas facilities across the country from a private equity firm, citing rising US power demand.
