NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE:BURU), the next-generation dual-use Defense & Security integrated platform company focused on non-kinetic effects and directed-energy technologies, electronic warfare and defense mobility programs, software-orchestrated defense systems and advanced manufacturing, today announced that its operating subsidiary Orbit S.r.l. ("Orbit") has secured cumulative orders totaling approximately US$240,000 from a Tier-One national telecommunications infrastructure operator while generating approximately US$825,000 of additional commercial pipeline visibility across multiple critical infrastructure sectors.

The combined order activity and pipeline visibility underscore growing commercial adoption of Orbit's operational resilience platform and further validate NUBURU's strategy of building an integrated defense, security, and critical-infrastructure ecosystem through targeted acquisitions, strategic investments, and platform integration.

The customer operates one of the largest fixed telecommunications infrastructure platforms in the Italian domestic market, supporting millions of end users through a nationwide network footprint and playing a critical role in enabling connectivity across commercial and institutional environments.

The cumulative orders cover Orbit's New Cybersecurity Framework and related services, including software maintenance, right-to-use licensing and Azure cloud-migration support for 2026 and the first half of 2027. The approximately US$240,000 order value represents billable customer purchase-order value; the timing and amount of revenue recognition in NUBURU's consolidated financial statements will be determined in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP, including relevant consolidation, foreign-currency translation and other accounting considerations.

Orbit Continues to Validate NUBURU's Integrated Platform Strategy

Over the past several months, NUBURU has executed a deliberate strategy to build an integrated defense, security, and critical-infrastructure platform through targeted acquisitions, strategic investments, and technology partnerships. Orbit's continued commercial traction provides further validation of this approach, demonstrating growing demand for software-driven operational resilience, situational awareness, and decision-support solutions across increasingly complex infrastructure environments.

Management believes that software-based orchestration platforms capable of integrating cyber, operational, infrastructure, and security data into a unified command environment will become increasingly important as governments, defense organizations, utilities, telecommunications operators, and enterprise customers confront growing operational complexity and evolving threat landscapes.

The deployment is structured as a scalable entry point across the customer's operational environment and provides confirmed order visibility across 2026 and the first half of 2027.

Expanding Commercial Pipeline Across Critical Infrastructure Markets

Separately, commercial offers issued to date in Orbit's current pipeline support approximately US$825,000 in additional new-order visibility across mission-critical and critical-infrastructure accounts, including telecommunications, financial infrastructure, transportation networks, public-sector organizations, defense and dual-use applications, industrial operators, and utility providers.

This visibility does not represent signed revenue, billings or backlog unless and until offers are accepted and definitive customer orders are executed.

Orbit Ownership and Path to Full Acquisition

NUBURU, via Nuburu Defense LLC ("Nuburu Defense"), currently holds approximately 22.7% equity interest in Orbit, with governance rights that support strategic and operational alignment.

Following recent shareholder approval authorizing the issuance of shares to complete the transaction, the Company expects to finalize the acquisition of 100% of Orbit by year-end.

Full ownership is expected to further enhance NUBURU's ability to integrate Orbit as the software command and orchestration layer of its platform, capture the full economic value of growth, and accelerate commercialization across both defense and civilian critical infrastructure markets.
