NUBURU Regains Compliance With NYSE American Listing Standards
Key Facts
NUBURU has regained compliance with NYSE American’s continued listing standards, the company announced on October 29, 2026. The decision ends a compliance period the exchange had granted the company, with a deadline on the same day, after accepting its plan in July 2025. The process concerned shareholders’ equity requirements. In June 2026, the company said its preliminary estimates exceeded the exchange’s $4 million threshold. Restated financial statements later showed shareholders’ equity of $10,130,320 on June 30, 2026. The company had reported a deficit of $15,182,173 on December 31, 2025.
NUBURU said in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that NYSE American notified it on July 22, 2025, that it had accepted the compliance plan and granted it until October 29, 2026. The company said failure to meet the deadline or make progress in carrying out the plan could lead to delisting proceedings. The deadline set the timeframe for assessing the company’s status, before it announced that it had regained compliance on October 29, 2026. In a subsequent filing for the second quarter of 2026, the company said the exchange had not asked it to submit a new compliance plan after notifying it in May. It added that it would continue to operate under the plan previously accepted by NYSE American.
In June 2026, NUBURU said its preliminary estimate of shareholders’ equity materially exceeded the $4 million threshold required for continued listing. The company attributed the improvement to its use of capital through equity and equity-linked instruments to reduce debt and preferred stock obligations and strengthen equity. Restated statements then showed shareholders’ equity of $10,130,320 on June 30, compared with a deficit of $15,182,173 at the end of December 2025. The difference between the two figures reflects a change in the reported position during the first half of 2026, according to the company’s financial disclosures. NUBURU said in June that the final compliance determination rested with NYSE American after its review of final financial information and progress in carrying out the plan.
The company said in an earlier statement that "determining compliance rests solely with NYSE American after its review of the company's final financial information and continued progress under the plan." NUBURU’s shares continued to carry the ".BC" designation before the announcement that it had regained compliance, according to a June investor-relations disclosure. Separately from the shareholders’ equity process, the stock faced a listing issue related to its trading price: NYSE American halted trading on July 17, 2026, after the price fell below the minimum of $0.10 per share. Trading resumed in September after a 1-for-40 reverse stock split, according to a company filing. The October announcement updates the continued listing compliance process, while the minimum-price issue had been addressed through a separate action.
NYSE American issued a separate recent warning letter in October concerning disclosure of material information, according to a filing NUBURU submitted on October 15. The company linked the letter to a side agreement concerning the terms of a July 2026 offering, and to an agreement to return shares of Heckler & Koch AG to Brick Lane Capital Management Limited. The agreement called for cancellation of a $15 million promissory note in exchange for the return of shares the company had purchased from Brick Lane. This process remains separate from the restoration of compliance with continued listing standards related to shareholders’ equity. The company’s disclosures thus show that the compliance-status update came alongside the handling of other matters concerning disclosure terms and company agreements.
