AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Capstone Energy Plus, Inc. (CEPL)

Capstone Energy+ appoints Brandon Schwertner to board as Monarch-designated director

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

Capstone Energy+ said Ping Fu stepped down from its board effective October 26, 2026, and that the board elected Brandon Schwertner as a director the same day to fill the seat. Schwertner was designated by Monarch Alternative Capital LP under the March 2026 securities purchase agreement, and the board still has seven directors. The filing reports no financial results, so the change is a governance update, and Monarch retains the right to designate one more Series A Director.

Key points

  • Ping Fu's resignation was accepted by the Special Committee on October 25, 2026, effective October 26, 2026.
  • Brandon Schwertner was elected October 26, 2026 as a Class I director with a term expiring at the 2027 annual meeting; the board has determined he is independent under Nasdaq rules.
  • Schwertner previously served as CEO of Priority Power Management from 2018 to 2026 and was appointed to the Compensation Committee.
  • He will receive a prorated annual restricted stock unit award with a grant date value of approximately $24,739.
