NUBURU, Inc. (“NUBURU” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: BURU), a leading innovator in high-power and high-brightness industrial blue laser technology, today announced it has received a notice of non-compliance (the “NYSE Notice”) from the staff of the NYSE American Market (the “Exchange”) indicating that the Company has become noncompliant with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 803B(2)(c) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”), since the Company’s Audit Committee is no longer comprised of at least two independent directors, as a result of the recent resignation of an independent director from the Company’s Board of Directors. The NYSE Notice stated that, pursuant to Section 803B(6)(b) of the Company Guide, the Company has until the earlier of its next annual meeting of stockholders or one year from the occurrence of the event that caused the failure to comply with the audit committee composition requirements to regain compliance with the continued listing standards; provided that, if the annual meeting of stockholders occurs no later than 75 days following the event that caused the failure to comply, the Company will instead have 75 days from such event to regain compliance. As a result, the Company has until January 4, 2025 to regain compliance. The Board is undertaking a process to identify two independent directors to join the Board within the permitted time frame.

The NYSE Notice does not have any immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Exchange, which remains trading under the trading symbol “BURU”. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the continued listing standard discussed above in the permitted time frame.
