Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Order Approving Settlement

On July 30, 2025, Silverback Capital Corporation (“Silverback”) obtained a court order from the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit in and for Manatee County, Florida, granting approval of a Settlement Agreement and Stipulation (the “Settlement”), entered into by and between Nuburu, Inc. (the “Company”) and Silverback.

The foregoing is a summary of the court order and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the court order that is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit 10.1.

Settlement Terms

On July 17, 2025, the Company and Silverback agreed to settle outstanding claims in an amount of not less than $5,662,478.57 (the “Claims”) owed to Silverback in exchange for a settlement amount payable in shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Settlement Shares”), subject to court approval. The Settlement Shares are priced in an amount equal to the last trading price of the Company’s common stock on July 17, 2025 (the “Closing Price”), which was $0.3070; provided that, if the sale price of the Company’s common stock drops below the Closing Price, the purchase price of the Settlement Shares will be the lower of (i) the Closing Price or (ii) 75% multiplied by the average of the three lowest traded prices during the fifteen day trading period preceding the share request made by Silverback, subject to other terms of the Settlement. Under the Settlement terms, Silverback may not hold more than 4.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock at any time.

The Claims include bona fide, outstanding, and unpaid creditor claims that Silverback acquired from the Company’s creditors and agreed to exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock in a state court-approved transaction, in compliance with the terms of Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company also agreed to issue 400,000 shares of common stock as a settlement fee. The Settlement was approved by the state court on July 30, 2025, after a fairness hearing pursuant to the requirements of Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act. No relationship exists between the Company and Silverback other than through the agreement discussed herein.

The foregoing is a summary of the Settlement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Settlement that is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit 10.2.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
