Nuburu to acquire Orbit for $12.5M

Nuburu (BURU) announced that its subsidiary, Nuburu Defense, has secured a binding agreement to directly acquire 100% of Orbit S.r.l., an Italian software company specializing in operational resilience, business continuity, and crisis management for mission-critical organizations. The Agreement involves a two-phase transaction and marks a major step in the build-out of Nuburu’s Defense & Security Hub, expanding its capabilities beyond advanced laser and vehicle systems into the rapidly growing domain of software-driven resilience and crisis readiness. The transaction will be executed in two stages: Initial Capital Increase: Nuburu Defense LLC will subscribe up to $5 million in Orbit’s capital within 36 months, starting with a $1.5 million advance for a 10.7% stake. Final Acquisition: Nuburu Defense LLC will acquire the remaining equity of Orbit at a $12.5 million pre-money valuation by December 31, 2026. As part of the Agreement, Nuburu Defense receives exclusive global distribution rights for Orbit’s platform in defense and mission-critical sectors effective immediately. The total consideration of $12.5 million includes a $2.4 million net cash advance to Orbit’s owner, to be paid in tranches and which accounts for the partial offset of a $1.35 million Nuburu receivable. The remaining balance will be settled through Nuburu equity securities by the end of 2026, subject to stockholder approval.
