01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement In response to feedback from the Italian government in connection with its "Golden Power" review of Nuburu, Inc.'s proposed acquisition (directly or indirectly through TCEI S.a.r.l. ("TCEI")) of a controlling interest in Tekne S.p.A., an Italian company ("Tekne"), on August 27, 2025, Nuburu, Inc. (the "Company") executed a binding commitment letter (the "Letter") with shareholders of Tekne, pursuant to which the Company modified the terms of its previously announced phased acquisition of a 70% interest in Tekne. Through a newly formed subsidiary, Nuburu Defense, LLC, the Company is expected to acquire (directly or indirectly through TCEI) (i) a 3% equity interest in Tekne in September 2025 (the "First Stage"), and (ii) the remaining 67% interest in Tekne by the end of 2025 (the "Second Stage"). Based on a third-party valuation, the Letter also establishes an enterprise value of Tekne at $60 million, with the 70% interest to be acquired by the Company derivatively valued at approximately $42 million. Pursuant to the Letter and subject to requirements imposed by the Italian government, Tekne is granting the Company a one-year (a) period of exclusivity and (b) option right to complete the Second Stage. To address matters raised in the Golden Power review, the Company has agreed to assist with financing up to EUR 40 million for Tekne's working capital needs over the next 12 months. The Company plans to provide such support through (i) a EUR 10.5 million cash financing ("Capital Support"), the first tranche of which would be provided in September 2025, and (ii) a EUR 30 million inventory monetization program. Capital Support provided to Tekne is expected to be converted to equity ownership of Tekne, once the investment is approved by the Italian government. In the event that the transaction is not approved, Tekne will be obligated to repay all Capital Support provided by the Company. The Letter contemplates utili
