Securetech Innovations, Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• SecureTech Innovations, Inc. (the Company) filed a Form 8‑K on April 10, 2026 disclosing that on April 6, 2026 the Board nominated Robert V. Castro, CPA, CGMA, age 68, to serve as an independent director and as a member of the Audit, Compensation and Nomination Committees. The Company also issued a press release on April 7, 2026 announcing the nomination.

Key Details

• Mr. Castro’s appointment will only become effective after two conditions are satisfied: (1) the Company’s common stock is approved for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market and such listing becomes effective; and (2) the Company obtains directors’ and officers’ (D&O) insurance at levels satisfactory to the Board. Until both conditions are met, Mr. Castro will not be deemed a director for purposes of Section 16 or Nasdaq rules.
• Mr. Castro brings 40+ years of audit, tax and advisory experience, notably as a retired audit partner and former national leader of BDO’s Financial Services Group; he is a CPA and CGMA and has taught accounting at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
• The Board expects Mr. Castro to serve on the Audit, Compensation and Nomination Committees once his appointment is effective. The Board has determined he will qualify as an independent director upon effectiveness.
• There are no related‑party transactions or family relationships to report, and no compensatory arrangement has yet been entered—any such arrangement will be disclosed in a future 8‑K amendment or subsequent filing.

Why It Matters

• This is a governance update that could strengthen the Company’s financial oversight: adding an experienced audit and financial‑services professional to the Board and Audit Committee may be viewed positively by investors and regulators. However, the appointment is conditional on the Company completing a Nasdaq listing and securing D&O insurance, so the change is not immediate. Investors tracking board composition, Nasdaq listing progress, or potential improvements in corporate governance should note these conditions and watch for subsequent filings confirming effectiveness or disclosing director compensation.
