Tailwind Acquisition Corp. (NYSE:TWND) announced this afternoon that it has closed its combination with laser technology firm NUBURU.
The SPAC’s shareholders approved the deal at a special meeting held in December 2022, but did not provide a closing date at that time.
The combined company will operate under the “Nuburu, Inc.” name and its common stock and warrants will commence trading tomorrow, February 1, on the NYSE under the new ticker symbols “BURU” and “BURU WS”, respectively.
Tailwind announced its business combination with NUBURU on August 8, 2022 at a pre-money enterprise valuation of $350 million. This deal with Nuburu was inked about a year after Tailwind’s first announced deal with cloud software firm Qomplx was terminated due to unfavorable market conditions.
Centennial, Colorado-based NUBURU makes precision lasers using patented blue light technology for the precision manufacturing space.
