Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends and restates in its entirety Item 1.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Nuburu, Inc. (the “Company”) on March 18, 2026 to clarify the terms of the Agreement (as defined below).

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 12, 2026, the Company entered into a Bond Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”), with Supply@ME Stock Company 3 S.r.l. (“SYME 3”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to subscribe and pay for initial bonds issued by SYME 3 in the nominal value of EUR 5.25 million with a maturity date in March 2029 (the “Initial Bonds”) for a subscription price of EUR 5.25 million. SYME 3 is an affiliate of Supply@ME Capital plc (“SYME”), a fintech platform focused on Inventory Monetization solutions with which the Company entered into a $5.15 million convertible facility in March 2025. Mr. Zamboni, the Company’s Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of SYME. The full subscription price will be paid on the issuance date by the offset of EUR 4,824,294 in payments previously made by the Company to SYME 3 in September through November 2025 as SYME inventory advances.

SYME 3 may issue up to EUR 30 million in variable rate bonds due March 2029 (the “Bonds”), including the Initial Bonds, in order to fund inventory requirements of Tekne S.p.A. (“Tekne”). The Bonds are held in dematerialized form with Euronext Securities Milan. The Bonds are obligations solely of SYME 3 and are secured by security interests in a Pegno Non Possessorio (a non-possessory pledge) under Italian law over the inventory of Tekne acquired with such funds and future receivables linked to such inventory; a pledge agreement over a bank account opened by SYME 3 entered into by SYME 3, as pledgor, and the Company, as secured creditor; and a pledge agreement over receivables and assignment of VAT receivables entered into by SYME 3, as pledgor, and the Company, as secured creditor. The Bonds accrue interest daily at a rate of 3-month Euro Interbank Offered Rate plus 7.5% per annum plus any additional margin (as provided in the Agreement), subject to a cap of 12% per annum, until the final maturity date in March 2029 (the “Final Maturity Date”). Interest payments are due on the 8th day of January, April, July and October, with the first payment date on July 8, 2026. Unless the Bonds are redeemed earlier, SYME 3 will redeem the Bonds at their principal amount outstanding at the Final Maturity Date. SYME 3 may redeem the Bonds early (i) at its option beginning after the first anniversary of the issuance date or (ii) in whole with 120 days’ notice without penalty on any bond payment date after the date of imposition of certain tax withholdings or deductions as set forth in the Agreement. The Company (or, if applicable, the representative of the bondholders, including the Company) may request mandatory redemption on a bond payment date upon giving at least 120 days’ notice prior to such bond payment date. The Bonds are freely transferable to a person or entity that qualifies as a “Professional Investor” under Italian law.

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, confidentiality provisions, events of default and consequences thereof, insurance requirements, and amendment provisions.
