Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (NASDAQ: VEEE) saw its shares surge more than 370% on Monday following the announcement of a definitive merger agreement and a plan to privatize its marine business. The company disclosed that a subsidiary of USFM Corporation will merge with Twin Vee, while its marine operations will be separated into a privately held Delaware statutory trust. Existing shareholders will receive equity in the combined public company along with contingent value rights tied to potential future distributions from the marine business, according to reporting by Emily Jarvie of Proactive.
The transaction is designed to unlock shareholder value while 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.

The news marks a significant milestone for Twin Vee PowerCats, a manufacturer of recreational and fishing boats under the Twin Vee and Bahama Boat Works brands. Twin Vee is known for its stable, fuel-efficient, smooth-riding catamaran hull designs and is recognized as one of the most recognizable brand names in the catamaran sport boat category. Bahama Boat Works is an iconic luxury brand celebrated for its craftsmanship and offshore fishing vessels. The company, based in Fort Pierce, Florida, has been building and selling boats for 30 years.
The sharp increase in share price reflects investor optimism about the potential value unlocked through the restructuring. By separating the marine business into a private trust and merging with USFM, Twin Vee aims to streamline operations and focus on growth opportunities. The contingent value rights offer shareholders a stake in future distributions from the marine business, potentially providing additional returns.
For the marine industry, this deal underscores a trend of companies seeking innovative structures to maximize shareholder value and operational efficiency. The move to list on NYSE American may also provide greater visibility and access to capital markets for the combined entity. Investors and industry observers will be watching closely as the transaction progresses toward its expected close in 2026.
