On September 30, 2024, Nuburu, Inc. ("Nuburu" or the "Company") sent a letter to its stockholders regarding the adjournment of Nuburu's Special Meeting of Stockholders. A copy of the letter is set forth below.

MEETING ADJOURNED DUE TO FAILURE TO ACHIEVE QUORUM

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT TO THE FUTURE OF THE COMPANY

Your vote is urgently needed at the Nuburu, Inc. Special Meeting of Stockholders, which has been adjourned to Friday, October 18, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. Mountain Time. The Special Meeting was originally scheduled for September 27, 2024, but was adjourned because a quorum was not present as of the time of the meeting.

Passage of the proposals to be voted on at the meeting is critical for the company and its stockholders. The proposals provide the company with the ability to obtain urgently needed financing, support business plans, and reduce debt. The future of the Company depends on having access to capital, without which, it will not be able to continue as a going concern.

In addition, if Proposal 1 is not approved, there will be an event of default with respect to such financing transaction and the Company may be required to repay the entire outstanding principal amount.

Your participation and directive to vote can not be represented unless you submit your instructions.
