CAPSTONE COMPANIES, INC. (NYSE:MMC) Files An 8-K Other Events
ITEM 8.01 Other Matters

Authorization for Application for Quotation on The OTC Markets Group, Inc. QX Tier. The Board of Directors of Capstone Companies, Inc., a Florida corporation, (“Company”) approved a resolution at a 21 December 2016 board meeting authorizing the Company’s management to prepare and file an application to quote the Company’s Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, (“Common Stock”) on The OTC Markets Group, Inc. (“OTC”) QX Tier (“QX Tier”). The Company does not anticipate filing this application until early January 2017. The application requires OTC review and approval and that approval may not be granted by OTC. The filing of the application is also subject to the Company meeting all standards for quotation of a class of securities on the QX Tier at the time of the filing of the application and for the duration of the processing of the application.
The decision to seek quotation of the Common Stock on the QX Tier is part of the Company’s effort to seek to enhance public shareholder value by improving the liquidity of the public market for the Common Stock. The Company understands that merely obtaining quotation of the Common Stock on the QX Tier will not necessarily increase the liquidity of the public market for the Common Stock and that the Company’s ongoing business and financial performance and Company’s future investor relations efforts will be a factor in determining whether the quotation of the Common Stock on the QX Tier or any other stock market will in fact enhance public shareholder value.
Extension of Stock Repurchase Program. At the 21 December 2016 board of directors’ meeting, the Company Board of Directors also approved an extension of the Company’s stock repurchase program through 31 December 2017, subject to earlier termination at the discretion of the Company Board of Directors. This program was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2016. The Company has not repurchased any shares of its Common Stock under the stock repurchase program as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “seek,” “enhance,” “hope,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans” and variations thereof or of similar expressions. All forward-looking statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are based on the Company’s current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements. These risks include, without limitation, the failure to win approval to quote the Company’s Common Stock on the QX Tier, the increased costs and compliance burdens of quoting stock on a new quotation system, the lack of institutional investor and market maker support for the public market for the Company’s Common Stock, treatment of the Common Stock as a “penny stock,” general and regional economic conditions, changes in consumer demand for the Company products and the impact on such changes in Company’s financial performance and investor support for Company’s Common Stock in the public markets, changes in laws and regulations and the other risks detailed under Item Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and in other Company filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
