DUOS TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. 8-K

What Happened

• Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (DUOT) announced that on May 14, 2026 its Board elected Douglas Recker as a director, effective immediately. Mr. Recker has served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer since April 1, 2026 and as President since September 2025. He has been a key executive in the company’s push into Edge Data Center and colocation markets.

Key Details

• Board election date: May 14, 2026; CEO effective date: April 1, 2026; President since September 2025.
• Mr. Recker has over 30 years of telecommunications and data center experience; he has led Duos Edge AI, Inc. (wholly owned) as President since July 2024.
• Prior roles: Chief Commercial Officer at New APR Energy, LLC (July 2024–Sept 2025); Founder/President of EdgePresence LLC (2017–2023, sold to Ubiquity); Founder/CEO of Colo5 Data Centers LLC (2008–2014, sold to Cologix).
• Company reports no family relationships or reportable related-party transactions involving Mr. Recker; his Employment Agreement and Equity Award Agreement were previously disclosed in the Company’s 8-K filed Sept. 15, 2025.

Why It Matters

• The appointment formalizes leadership already in place (CEO since April 1) and adds Mr. Recker to the Board, aligning governance with current management. His deep background in edge data centers and colocation underscores the company’s strategic focus in those markets. Investors should note the disclosed absence of related-party transactions and that compensation terms were previously filed, which limits the need for immediate new disclosure.
