Full disclosure. Long CHUC have not been paid to publish this.
In my best Bud Fox (movie Wall Street) research, I’m going to put the pieces together to explain why I think ($CHUC) should, or could get bought out…and the valuation could be **MUCH HIGHER**.
Before we start, there are 3 things you need to know for it to be obvious.
1. CHUC insiders have been **major buyers of shares** and participated in the company’s last financing.
2. **RJ Reynolds** already started buying and licensing CHUC’s technology (PMTAs) **BEFORE FDA approval**.
3. Ed Carmines, who sits on CHUC’s Board, is the Chief Science Officer of Chemular, an FDA consultancy company, and part-owner in IKE Tech, an on-device age-gating vape technology that **got fast-tracked for FDA review**.
In January, CHUC signed a licensing agreement with IKE Tech LLC ("IKE") to commercialize the first-ever AI-powered blockchain-based age-gating system for age-gated disposables **that can satisfy or accommodate concerns the FDA has** related to under-age youth access.
On February 10, the FDA selected Ed Carmines (CHUC Board Member) to serve as a panelist for the *Roundtable on Premarket Tobacco Product Application ("PMTA") Submissions for Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems ("vapes").*
One of the main topics…what does the FDA need to see to get approval for flavored vapes?
ONE WEEK LATER, on February 17, CHUC does a private placement with officers and insiders “*to amend certain PMTAs to include age-gating technology.”* ***Ed Carmines participates in this financing.***
In May, President Trump demanded the FDA move faster on flavored vape product authorizations.
On May 5, 2026, for the **first time in history**, the FDA authorized two of Glas Inc.'s "fruit-flavored" pods (NOT VAPES) through the premarket tobacco product application ("*PMTA*") pathway.

It is doubtful these products will reach the market because JUUL filed a lawsuit against Glas in December for patent infringement.
On June 8, the FDA released its reasoning for why it approved the FIRST flavored pods…why the new tobacco product would be Appropriate for the Protection of the Public’s Health (APPH).
FDA determined that the benefits of these products outweigh the risks when considering the population as a whole.
The key factors in this decision were:
1. Substantial benefit for adult smokers.
2. The technology is expected to be effective in **preventing underage access**.
Basically, the FDA acknowledged that vapes are safer than smoking and wants smokers to switch. Since vapers prefer flavors, **they'll likely approve flavored vapes if companies add strong age gating**.

Charlie's owns a portfolio of 678 PMTA products, and Charlie's has the unique ability to marry its PMTA-submitted products with cutting-edge age-gating technology.
Few other companies have either legacy brands with timely-filed FDA applications or access to technologies that can satisfy FDA concerns about youth access; **Charlie's has both**.
You’re probably saying, *“I see a ton of flavored vapes in my local 7-11, what’s the big deal?”*
Correct. It’s estimated that **almost 90% of vape sales** are from China and are illegal.
Why isn’t the FDA or government cracking down on these illegal vapes? 2 reasons.
If the government starts banning flavored vapes, there’s a chance that vapers SWITCH BACK to smoking…FDA cannot risk seeing that stat start rising.
Also, they’re not getting pressure from US Big Tobacco players because they don’t have a flavored vape product on the market.
**Here’s where it gets interesting.**
On April 30, just days before the FDA switched its stance on flavored nicotine products, a subsidiary of Reynolds American donated $5 million to the MAGA Inc. super PAC.
Guess who bought 16 CHUC PMTAs **before they got FDA approval**? Pt. 2 to follow:
