IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 9, 2013 – Capstone Financial Group, Inc. (OTCBB: CAPP), a recently formed financial-services related firm, has initiated plans to acquire a National Independent Broker-dealer and RIA for the price of $2 million, Chairman and CEO Darin Pastor announced today.

Established in 1999, the national independent broker-dealer and RIA is licensed to offer securities and insurance products.

This partnership will increase Capstone Financial Group’s number of registered representatives to 48 and would place our quickly expanding firm's total headcount at 70.”
