Nuburu, Inc. (BURU) completed the first tranche of a preferred‑equity restructuring on February 10, 2026, eliminating $8.4 million of Series A preferred liabilities. The transaction involved the sale of approximately 844,938 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to a third‑party investor, who exchanged the shares for pre‑funded common‑stock purchase warrants. The exchange was executed under the Section 3(a)(9) exemption of the Securities Act of 1933.
The restructuring removes roughly 40 % of the company’s outstanding Series A preferred balance, which had been reclassified as a current liability in June 2025 after mandatory redemption provisions were triggered. Nuburu is a micro‑cap with a market capitalization of $0.55 million and a current ratio of 0.27, so the elimination of this liability significantly improves its liquidity profile and reduces legacy balance‑sheet overhang.
By simplifying its capital structure, Nuburu positions itself to pursue future financing and operational initiatives. The company is actively seeking additional capital‑structure tools, including a $23.25 million financing through a securities purchase agreement and potential private offerings up to $100 million, to fund its transformation into a defense and security technology platform.
Co‑CEO and Executive Chairman Alessandro Zamboni said the restructuring “streamlines our balance sheet and removes a key source of financial risk, allowing us to focus on building a scalable defense and security platform.” He added that the company will continue to pursue additional restructuring of approximately 450,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Nuburu’s next steps include finalizing the second tranche of the preferred‑equity restructuring and securing additional financing to support its strategic acquisitions and platform development. The company’s management remains confident that the improved liquidity will enable it to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the defense and security market.
