Control Changed Hands, Debt Was Cleared and 1 Billion Shares Were Retired
New owner: On October 19, 2026 NxGen Brands announced that BLAQclouds, Inc. (OTC: BCDS) completed its acquisition of the controlling block held by former CEO Marjorie Schaefer: 2.178 billion common shares and 1 million preferred shares.
Cleaner balance sheet: The company reports zero outstanding debt after BLAQclouds acquired and forgave $375,000 of convertible debt, and says 1 billion shares were retired, cutting the outstanding count from 3.34 billion to 2.34 billion.
What is unclear: The release does not mention the Genesee Candy Land business or the BeNXGen.ai platform, and no financial statements were found to check any claim.
New Control + Debt Gone + Fewer Shares = A Fresh Start, Pending Financials
NXGB Stock Research Report: NxGen Brands, a Change of Control and a Share Cleanup Worth Understanding
Price: ~$0.0039 (late Oct 2026, StockTitan) | Market Cap: ~$3.7M to ~$9.1M (share count differs by source) | 52-Wk Range: $0.0001 - $0.0500

Executive Summary
This NXGB research report covers the change of control, the share cleanup and what remains unverified.
- What it is: NxGen Brands, Inc. (OTC: NXGB) is a Colorado-based consumer brand company. It sold CBD products, acquired Mad House Innovations in January 2024, and in 2025 shifted to acquisitions under CEO Marjorie Schaefer.
- The change of control: On October 19, 2026 the company announced that BLAQclouds, Inc. (OTC: BCDS) completed its purchase of Schaefer's block of 2.178 billion common shares and 1 million preferred shares. Terms and price were not disclosed.
- Debt and shares: BLAQclouds acquired $375,000 of NxGen convertible debt and forgave it. The company reports zero debt and says 1 billion shares were retired, taking the outstanding count from 3,341,779,566 to 2,341,779,566.
- New management: Dr. Todd Zang was appointed CEO and keeps his BLAQclouds board seat. Shannon Hill, the interim CEO, becomes a full-time NxGen director and CEO of BLAQclouds. The company said new management plans to cancel the Series B preferred stock.
- The operating business: Genesee Candy Land and Genesee Fudge Factory, acquired October 2025, and the BeNXGen.ai platform launched June 30, 2026. The October 19 release does not mention either, so their status under new management is not confirmed.
- The catch: No current SEC filings were found, no financial statements are published on the data sites checked, and the share count differs by source (2.34 billion per the company, 941.8 million on StockTitan).

Per the release

- The debt: BLAQclouds bought NxGen's $375,000 of convertible debt from attorney Vic Devlaeminck, P.C. and forgave it. NxGen also terminated legacy obligations tied to instruments dated April 30, 2020, January 4, 2021 and February 4, 2021.
- The share retirement: New management retired 1 billion common shares through the transfer agent, from the block it acquired. The release says the OTC Markets page would reflect the change within days.
- Plans named: "Operation Cleanup" with BLAQclouds and Apollo Direct, an in-house sales team, strategic partnerships and new revenue channels. The company expected to close the acquisition of a BLAQclouds subsidiary on October 21, 2026, with details to follow at closing. No closing announcement was found.
- Next phase: New management says the next phase should include the planned cancellation of the Series B preferred stock.

- Earlier deal: A September 24, 2025 release said NxGen closed on an unnamed turnkey business reporting 40 daily orders and $4,000 to $8,000 of daily revenue. The releases reviewed do not say whether this is Genesee.
A tangible product business with an existing retail footprint
Sources: NxGen press releases Sept 24, Oct 20 and Oct 21, 2025 (via GlobeNewswire and StockTitan). The October 19, 2026 change-of-control release does not mention Genesee Candy Land, so its status under new management is not confirmed. The "$700,000+" figure is a CEO statement; the release does not say whether it is revenue or another measure. The purchase price and payment method (cash or shares) were not stated.

Typical daily range
- Scale: The September 28 volume is roughly equal to the entire share count reported by one data source (941.8M), and it followed weeks of very low volume.
- No news behind it: The most recent company release found is dated July 8, 2026. None of the volume days above line up with a release.
- Release days: Several past announcements ended the day sharply lower, including -39% (Dec 23, 2025), -20% (Feb 5), -40% (Feb 11) and -25% (July 8), while the June 30 launch day ended +33%.
- Price range: The 52-week range runs from $0.0001 to $0.0500, so a position can swing widely in either direction.
Heavy volume with no filings or news is a signal to read carefully, not a conclusion

Market Cap
$3.7M - $9.1M
At about $0.0039, by share count
- No financial statements found: StockTitan lists no SEC filings for NXGB, and StockAnalysis shows no revenue, net income, cash or debt. SEC search results show Regulation A (Form 1-A) filings from 2023 under the NxGen Brands name, but no current periodic reports were found.
- Share count conflict: The company says 2,341,779,566 shares are outstanding after the retirement. StockTitan shows a 941.8 million float, and StockAnalysis showed 459.78 million in August. The market cap depends on which is right, so confirm with the transfer agent or the OTC Markets disclosure.
- Debt claim: The zero-debt statement is the company's own, and no balance sheet was found to confirm it.
- Management: The company named Dr. Todd Zang CEO and said it would update its officer and director information with the Nevada Secretary of State the week of October 19. Check the current OTC Markets disclosure.
- Business status: The October 19 release does not mention Genesee Candy Land or BeNXGen.ai. Whether they continue under BLAQclouds was not stated.
- Deal terms: Purchase prices and payment methods for the 2024 and 2025 acquisitions and for the BLAQclouds block purchase were not stated in the releases reviewed.
The cleanup story is clear; the proof is not yet public
Sources: StockTitan, StockAnalysis, MarketScreener, SEC EDGAR search results, NxGen press releases of October 20, 2025 and October 19, 2026. The market cap range is computed from the price and each share count. Figures are from data aggregators and company releases and have not been audited or independently verified.
Timeline
Catalysts to Watch
✓ Financial disclosure: any filing or OTC Markets report showing revenue, income, cash and debt under new management.
✓ Share count: an updated OTC Markets page and transfer agent confirmation of the 2.34 billion figure.
✓ Subsidiary acquisition: the details and closing of the BLAQclouds subsidiary deal the company said it expected on October 21.
✓ Series B preferred: the planned cancellation that management described as the next phase.
✓ Genesee and BeNXGen.ai: whether the candy business and the AI platform continue and report sales.
⚠ Related-party structure: BLAQclouds now controls NxGen, so related-party dealings between the two companies are worth tracking in future disclosures.
The Bottom Line: A Cleanup Story With the Numbers Still to Come
NxGen Brands says it now has zero debt, 1 billion fewer shares and new management after BLAQclouds took control on October 19, 2026. It also owns a real product business in Genesee Candy Land and an AI brand platform, though the latest release does not mention either.
The difficulty is that no financial statements are available to test any of it, the share count differs by source, and the company's controlling shareholder is now another public company. Treat the story as a watch item until the numbers are public.
Watch for filings, a confirmed share count and the BLAQclouds subsidiary details
