Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (NASDAQ: VEEE) saw its shares soar more than 370% on Monday following the announcement of a definitive agreement under which a subsidiary of USFM Corporation will merge with Twin Vee, while its marine business will be separated into a privately held Delaware statutory trust. According to reporting by Emily Jarvie of Proactive, existing shareholders will receive equity in the combined public company along with contingent value rights tied to potential future distributions from the marine business.
The transaction is designed to unlock shareholder value by providing greater strategic and financial flexibility for the Twin Vee and Bahama Boat Works brands. Following the merger, the combined company is expected to trade on the NYSE American, with the transaction anticipated to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

Twin Vee PowerCats Co. manufactures a range of boats under the Twin Vee and Bahama Boat Works brands, designed for activities including fishing, cruising, and recreational use. Twin Vee PowerCats are recognized for their stable, fuel-efficient, smooth-riding catamaran hull designs. Twin Vee is one of the most recognizable brand names in the catamaran sport boat category and is known as the “Best Riding Boats on the Water.” Bahama Boat Works is an iconic luxury brand long celebrated for its unmatched craftsmanship, timeless aesthetic, and dedication to producing some of the finest offshore fishing vessels. The Company is located in Fort Pierce, Florida, and has been building and selling boats for 30 years.
The merger and privatization plan represent a significant strategic shift for Twin Vee, allowing the company to separate its marine operations from its public listing. This move is expected to provide the marine business with more operational flexibility while the remaining public entity focuses on other growth opportunities. Investors have reacted positively, driving the stock price up dramatically as the market digests the potential value unlock from the transaction.
The combined public company will benefit from the financial resources and strategic guidance of USFM Corporation, while shareholders retain exposure to the marine business through contingent value rights. These rights may yield future distributions if the marine business achieves certain milestones, adding a layer of potential upside for current investors.
As the transaction progresses toward closing in 2026, shareholders and industry observers will be watching for further details on the structure and valuation of both the merged public company and the privatized marine entity. The announcement underscores a growing trend of companies seeking to streamline operations and unlock value through strategic separations and mergers.
