SecureTech Addresses OTC Markets Caveat Emptor Designation

ROSEVILLE, Minn., June 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SecureTech Innovations, Inc. (OTC: SCTH), an emerging growth company that develops and markets cutting-edge security and safety devices, products, and technologies such as Top Kontrol and its early-stage cybersecurity and cryptocurrency technology incubator Piranha Blockchain, would like to provide a comprehensive update to its shareholders, partners, and the broader investment community concerning the Caveat Emptor designation recently issued by OTC Markets Group, the parent company to the OTC Pink marketplace where SecureTech’s common stock trades.

On June 9, 2023 SecureTech was informed that its stock had received Caveat Emptor (“CE”) status from OTC Markets. OTC Markets informed SecureTech that this designation was for “Promotion and Public Interest Concern.” Earlier in the week, OTC Markets had also issued a Stock Promotion designation label.

After 30 calendar days, SecureTech may request OTC Markets review the CE designation and have it removed if deemed appropriate. SecureTech is proactively engaged with all relevant parties and intends to request OTC Markets remove both the CE and Shell Risk designations as soon as possible.

As a proud issuer on the OTC Pink marketplace, SecureTech is determined to resolve this matter as swiftly and efficiently as possible. In the meantime, SecureTech would like to reassure the public that business operations will continue as usual and that Management remains dedicated to upholding SecureTech’s core values and commitments.

Management believes we will resolve this matter quickly because:

• SecureTech is and always has been a fully compliant SEC registered company. SecureTech has never missed a filing or been delinquent in its duties to report.
  
  
• SecureTech has been selling its groundbreaking Top Kontrol product now for over two years – sales of which continue increasing sales year over year. This trend is expected to continue, especially with the expanded second generation product line release coming in early 2024.
  
  
• SecureTech continues successfully executing its business plan and regularly reaches new progress milestones.
  
  
• SecureTech is and always will be committed to complete transparent with its shareholders and the investment community.
  

SecureTech’s President and CEO Kao Lee commented, “Sadly, I cannot always report positive news. While receiving the Caveat Emptor designation is extremely disappointing and, in my opinion, unwarranted, it is merely another obstacle we must navigate on SecureTech’s journey to success. This is not the first such obstacle or disappointment in the life of SecureTech and will most likely not be the last. I look forward to sharing the news with our loyal shareholders when the Caveat Emptor designation has been removed.”
