Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On December 28, 2023, Nuburu, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice (the “Notice”) from the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) because the shares of the Company’s common stock have been selling for a low price per share for a substantial period of time. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities and the Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American under the symbol “BURU” with the designation of “.BC” to indicate that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards. Additionally, the Notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s securities from the NYSE American.

Pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide, the Company’s continued listing is predicated on it demonstrating sustained price improvement by no later than June 28, 2024. The Notice further stated that, as a result of the foregoing, the Company has become subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide, which could, among other things, result in the initiation of delisting proceedings, unless the Company cures the deficiency in a timely manner.

The Company intends to monitor the price of its Common Stock and consider available options, including conducting a reverse stock split, if its Common Stock does not trade at a consistent level likely to result in the Company regaining compliance by June 28, 2024. The Company’s receipt of the Notice does not affect the Company’s business, operations or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 4, 2024, the Company issued a press release related to the foregoing. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference to this Item 7.01.

The information furnished in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
