EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A, Amendment Number One, ("Amended Form 8-K") is being filed by Capstone Companies, Inc., a Florida corporation, ("Company") to: (1) disclose Amendment Number One, dated November 6, 2024, to the Management Transition Agreement between Capstone Companies, Inc. and Coppermine Ventures, LLC ("MTA"), which MTA was dated October 28, 2024 and signed on October 31, 2024, and was disclosed and filed as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on November 5, 2024 ("Initial Form 8-K"); (2) to correct the XBRL link designations and exhibit numbering for Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to the Initial Form 8-K; and (3) to correct corrupted text in the MTA as filed as an exhibit to the Initial Form 8-K. Other than as set forth in this Explanatory Note, this Amended Form 8-K does not amend any other disclosures in the Initial Form 8-K.
Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement. On November 6, 2024, Capstone Companies, Inc., a Florida corporation, ("Company") and Coppermine Ventures, LLC, a private Maryland limited liability company, ("Coppermine") entered into an Amendment Number One ("Amendment") to the Management Transition Agreement, signed on October 31, 2024 and dated October 28, 2024, by the Company and Coppermine ("MTA"). The Amendment amended the MTA as follows:
(1) Section 1 of the Agreement was amended and restated to provide, in part, that:
(a) Coppermine would submit names of one or two nominees ("Nominees") for appointment to the Company's Board of Directors by November 30, 2024, which deadline could be unilaterally extended by Coppermine to December 31, 2024, and the Company Board of Directors ("Company Board") would appoint the Nominees submitted to fill vacancies on the Company Board; and
(b) Coppermine would submit the name of a nominee to serve as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company ("CEO Nominee") by November 30, 2024, which deadline can be unilaterally extended by Coppermine to December 31, 2024, and the Company would appoint the CEO Nominee as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company upon resignation of the incumbent Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which resignation would be tendered to the Company Board upon receipt of the notice of the CEO Nominee; and
(c) Appointment of Nominees and CEO Nominee to their respective positions with the Company would be subject to verification by the Company Board of all nominees' eligibility and qualification to serve in their respective positions with the Company.
(2) Section 2 of the Agreement was amended and restated to provide, in part, that:
(a) Company would appoint the Nominees and CEO Nominee to their respective positions with the Company, subject to conditions in amended and restated Section 1 of the Agreement; and
(b) Incumbent Chief Executive Officer of the Company would resign upon submission of the CEO Nominee by Coppermine to allow appointment of the CEO Nominee as Company's Chief Executive Officer and President, but the incumbent Chief Executive Officer would remain a director of the Company.
(3) Section 3 of the Agreement was amended and restated to provide, in part, that:
(a) The fulfillment of all obligations by the Company under Section 2 of the Agreement is a condition precedent to Coppermine's obligations under Section 1 of the Agreement, and the fulfillment of all obligations by Coppermine under Section 1 of the Agreement is a condition precedent to Company's obligations under Section 2 of the Agreement. Any breach of Section 2 of the Agreement by the Company that is not promptly remedied within twenty (20) days after receipt of a written demand from Coppermine will constitute a breach of the Promissory Note, dated October 31, 2024, issued to Coppermine by the Company ("Note"), causing the principal amount and accrued interest thereon under the Note to become immediately due and payable in full.
Since the current Chief Executive Officer of the Company will remain as a director after the appointment of the CEO Nominee, the amended and restated Section 2 deleted the provision in the original Section 2 for the current Chief Executive Officer providing advisory services to the Company Board. Further, the signing of a proxy by certain Company shareholders for the election of Nominees to the Company Board was not retained in the amended and restated Section 3. The intent of the Company and Coppermine is that any such proxy would be provided to Coppermine when a Nominee is appointed to the Company Board.
The above summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment as filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Amended Form 8-K.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. The names of the Nominees and CEO Nominee have not been submitted to the Company, and no resignations or appointments contemplated under the Amendment have occurred, as of the date of the filing of this Amended Form 8-K.
Item 9.01. Financials and Exhibits
(d) Exhibits. The following documents are filed as exhibits to this Amended Form 8-K. The exhibit numbers stated on the documents filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to the initial Form 8-K, and XBRL Links listed for those exhibits in the exhibit index of the Initial Form 8-K, do not conform to the exhibit index in the Initial Form 8-K Those exhibits are filed with this Amended Form 8-K to correct that inadvertent error. Further, the MTA is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Amended Form 8-K to correct the inadvertent corruption of three words in the version filed as an exhibit to the Initial Form 8-K.
