Key Takeaways:
Capstone Companies Inc. (OTCQB:CAPC) signed a binding Letter of Intent to acquire 100% of e-bike developer eBliss Global Inc. in a stock-for-stock transaction, signaling a potential new lifeline for the public company after a multi-year search for a viable business.
"We believe this LOI represents an important step toward evaluating a potential transaction that could enhance Capstone's long-term positioning and future growth opportunities," Stewart Wallach, Chairman of Capstone Companies, said. "Both organizations are now entering a structured diligence and negotiation phase to determine whether agreement for a transaction can be reached."
Under the terms outlined in the LOI, which was filed with the SEC on May 15, 2026, both companies agreed to a mutual ‘no shop’ provision lasting from May 14 through July 1, 2026. The period will be used for mutual due diligence and to negotiate a definitive agreement. Critically, the LOI also stipulates a joint effort to secure the necessary funding to cover transaction costs and provide working capital for eBliss.
The proposed merger is a pivotal event for Capstone, which has been seeking a new business line with revenue potential since 2024 without success. The company's auditor has expressed a ‘going concern’ caution, and its common stock is designated as a "penny stock" by the SEC, signifying high risk. For eBliss, an early-stage Delaware corporation with a developed e-bike product, the deal and associated funding are essential to commence production at its Utica, New York facility. The entire transaction remains subject to numerous conditions, including due diligence, board and shareholder approvals, and securing the critical financing.
Capstone's pursuit of this transaction follows an extensive but unfruitful two-year effort to find, fund, or develop a new business. The company has stated it has funding for basic overhead through 2025 but no assurances beyond that, making progress on a deal in 2026 crucial for its future. The company's stock lacks primary market maker and institutional support, and investors are warned that any investment is highly risky and could result in a total loss.
eBliss Global is a pre-production company with a designed electronic bicycle product. The success of the merger is directly tied to the ability of the combined entities to raise capital, as eBliss's ability to start manufacturing is entirely dependent on it. The LOI makes it clear that obtaining this funding is a primary condition for the transaction to be consummated.
