LASE names founder Dmitri Nikitin Executive Chairman and assumes CEO duties
Laser Photonics (LASE) appointed founder Dmitri Nikitin as Executive Chairman and principal executive officer with the authority and responsibilities of a CEO after Wayne Tupuola resigned for medical reasons; the company does not currently intend to appoint a separate CEO. Nikitin will prioritize expanding into higher-value defense and semiconductor markets, advancing the Laser Shield Anti-Drone (LSAD) platform, strengthening engineering and sales, and integrating prior acquisitions — he brings 35+ years of laser-technology experience and recent patent filings.
Laser Photonics files post-effective S-1 amendment to replace counsel opinion (Exhibit 5.1)
LASER PHOTONICS CORPORATION filed SEC Form POS EX. 1 to its Form S‑1 (Reg. No. 333-298783) on September 14, 2026, solely to replace Exhibit 5.1 (opinion of CM Law LLP) and the related consent. The amendment states it does not modify any other part of the registration statement (declared effective September 10, 2026) and the proposed sale remains set to occur "as soon as practicable" after effectiveness; signatures include Interim President Ann Tewari and Acting CFO Timothy A. Peterman.
Laser Photonics files S-1/A to add maximum common shares and warrants
LASER PHOTONICS CORPORATION filed SEC Form S-1/A. 2 to its Form S-1 on September 9, 2026, updating Exhibit 5.1 to add the maximum number of common shares and warrants covered by the registration and including forms for multiple warrant types. The filing provides no pricing or offering size in-text and states the proposed sale will occur "as soon as practicable" after the registration becomes effective.
Laser Photonics prices $7.9M offering: 10.5M shares + warrants at $0.75
Laser Photonics priced a public offering of 10,500,000 common shares with Series B-1 and B-2 warrants to purchase up to 10,500,000 shares each at a combined public offering price of $0.75 per share and accompanying warrants, for expected gross proceeds of approximately $7.9 million. The warrants are exercisable upon issuance (B-1 expire in 5 years; B-2 expire in 24 months). The offering is expected to close on or about September 14, 2026, with H.C. Wainwright acting as exclusive placement agent. Timing: The press release does not indicate dilution today; initial share dilution occurs at the offering close (Sep 14, 2026), and once the offering closes those shares have been issued.
S-1/A: Laser Photonics registers common stock and multiple warrant types (no size/price disclosed)
LASER PHOTONICS CORPORATION filed SEC Form S-1/A. Laser Photonics filed an Amendment No. 2 to its S-1 to register common stock and several warrant classes (Series B-1, B-2, pre-funded and placement agent warrants) — the company is the issuer, so any sales will cause primary dilution when shares are sold. The amendment updates Exhibit 5.1/legal opinion to reflect the maximum number of shares and warrants in the registration but does not disclose offering size, price, or an effectiveness date; sales are stated to occur “as soon as practicable” after effectiveness. Forms of Series A-1 and A-2 warrants (issued Feb 6, 2026) are included as previously filed, indicating multiple warrant series that could create future overhang once exercisable or sold.
S-1/A registers warrants & pre-funded warrants; effectiveness delayed
LASER PHOTONICS CORPORATION filed SEC Form S-1/A. The amendment adds auditor consents and incorporates an 8-K about the appointment of an acting CFO and explicitly states the registrant is delaying effectiveness until it files a further amendment, so no new shares or warrants are currently sellable.
LASE wins repeat order from Canadian manufacturer for Beamer B-Series FB23 marking system
Laser Photonics (LASE) received a purchase order from a returning Canadian manufacturer for a Beamer B-Series FB23 laser marking system plus a fume extraction unit, upgrading from an earlier-generation Beamer that had been in service for over a decade. The repeat buy underscores customer retention and product durability for the U.S.-built, 20W fiber, automation-ready B-Series, but no dollar value or revenue impact was disclosed so the near-term financial effect is unclear.
LASE advances SOCOM engagement for Laser Shield after live test neutralized drone in <3s
Laser Photonics (LASE) said it advanced direct engagement with U.S. Special Operations Command to present its Laser Shield Anti-Drone (LSAD) directed-energy counter‑UAS and identified potential next steps after SOCOM showed strong interest. At a live demo at the company's Lake Mary facility LSAD autonomously detected, tracked and neutralized a simulated Class I drone in under three seconds and the firm's detection software has previously tracked targets in >95% of benchmarked scenarios, though no contract or operational fielding was announced.
LASE's Fonon Advances Laser Shield Anti-Drone to Phase 2 of USAF Shaw AFB Evaluation
Fonon Technologies, part of Laser Photonics (NASDAQ: LASE), was selected to advance its Laser Shield Anti-Drone (LSAD) system to Phase 2 of the Shaw AFB Battle Lab Commercial Solutions Opening and must deliver a formal pitch by Sept 14, 2026; passing the pitch could lead to invitations to submit full contract proposals. Prior to the pitch the company ran a live real-world test of LSAD's detection software that tracked target drones in >95% of scenarios, which the company says accelerates development and supports field readiness, though the test validated detection rather than full weapons qualification.
LASE wins six-figure REXA order for 2kW CleanTech surface‐roughening laser
Laser Photonics (LASE) received a six-figure order from REXA for its CTIR-3040 2kW handheld CleanTech laser, which REXA will integrate into production to roughen actuator surfaces ahead of powder coating to improve adhesion and durability in harsh environments. The system can scale from handheld use to robotic/automated work cells, giving Laser Photonics a channel to potentially expand the relationship, but this is an initial deployment with no disclosed multi-unit commitment.
LASE wins six-figure order from REXA for 2kW CleanTech unit to prep actuator coatings
Laser Photonics (LASE) received a six-figure order from REXA for its CTIR-3040 2kW handheld CleanTech laser to roughen surfaces ahead of powder coating, marking Laser Photonics' first deployment inside REXA's manufacturing workflow. The system is meant to improve coating adhesion and actuator longevity in harsh oil-and-gas environments and can scale to robotic/automated installations, which the company says could lead to additional orders over time.
LASE delivers $0.8M robotic laser cleaning cell to Vander-Bend, enters data-center supply chain
Laser Photonics (LASE) delivered its first robotic laser cleaning cell to Vander-Bend Manufacturing under an order valued at about $0.8M to automate pre-weld removal of zinc coating on sheet-metal panels used in data center infrastructure. The cell is programmable by part type (not single-purpose), which could enable follow-on orders as Vander-Bend scales production and gives LASE a foothold in the high-capex hyperscale data-center supply chain and other precision-manufacturing markets.

The gated session focuses on deep technical validation and scalability, moving LSAD further in the evaluation pipeline where it could be considered for follow-on prototyping, experimentation, and transition support, though no contract value or timeline was disclosed.
LASE lands $250K Johnson & Johnson order for custom laser drilling system to enter medical-device manufacturing
Laser Photonics' subsidiary CMS Laser received a $250K order from Johnson & Johnson for a custom on-the-fly laser drilling system with integrated vision to be validated at a third-party component manufacturer, marking the company's entry into medical device precision manufacturing. The unit is a reduced-capability development system built for high-precision, high-volume drilling and successful validation could trigger additional, more complex system deployments across J&J's manufacturing lines.
