NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU), a developer of industrial blue laser technology, has been issued a Notice of Noncompliance by NYSE Regulation. This notice is a result of the company's inability to satisfy the $2 million stockholders' equity requirement as per Section 1003(a)(i) of the NYSE American Company Guide. The situation reflects the company's ongoing financial difficulties, including operating losses and a going concern warning noted in its recent 10-K filing.
Despite the noncompliance notice, NUBURU's shares continue to trade on the NYSE American, albeit with a '.BC' designation to indicate its noncompliance status. The company has been given a strategic timeline to rectify its financial situation, with a deadline of May 29 to submit a compliance plan and until October 29, 2026, to meet the listing standards fully. Management remains hopeful that recent strategic initiatives may offer a route back to compliance, though outcomes are uncertain.
Under the leadership of Executive Chairman Alessandro Zamboni, NUBURU is exploring growth and diversification strategies. These include expanding into new sectors such as defense-tech, security, and operational resilience solutions. The company is also looking to leverage strategic partnerships and potential acquisitions to foster growth in high-value markets.
