Nuburu Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: BURU) shares jumped 47.5% to $1.77 in after-hours trading on Tuesday after the company canceled a $15 million convertible note tied to Heckler & Koch AG shares.

Balance Sheet Relief Fuels the Jump

According to a Tuesday Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Nuburu will return 295,000 Heckler & Koch shares to London-based Brick Lane Capital Management Limited. In exchange, Brick Lane will cancel the subordinated convertible note, a $15 million loan that ranks below other debt and can be converted into equity.

Nuburu issued the note in February to buy those shares. Canceling it removes a major liability and eliminates potential dilution from conversion.

The filing also details a Side Letter Agreement, effective Sept. 30, between Nuburu and Esousa Group Holdings, LLC and other investors who were party to the company’s July 15 securities purchase agreement.
