NYSE Regulation Notice of Noncompliance
On April 29, 2025, the Company received a Notice of Noncompliance (the “Notice”) from NYSE Regulation indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the NYSE American LLC Company Guide (the “Company Guide”), which requires a company to maintain stockholders’ equity of $2.0 million or more if it has reported losses from continuing operations or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years. 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.
As required by the Company Guide, the Company will submit a detailed plan by May 29, 2025, advising of actions it has taken or will take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the compliance deadline of October 29, 2026. If NYSE Regulation determines to accept the plan, the Company will be subject to periodic reviews, including quarterly monitoring for compliance. If the plan is not accepted, or the Company does not make progress under the plan during the plan period, NYSE may commence delisting proceedings. However, the Company is entitled to appeal a staff delisting determination in accordance with the Company Guide.
The Company believes that, upon consummation of certain of the transactions that it has recently announced, it will be able to regain compliance. However, such transactions are subject to regulatory approvals, stockholder approval, and other closing conditions and, as a result, may not be consummated. Even if consummated, such transactions may not achieve the anticipated results or benefits to the Company.
