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.
