Board previously adopted committee charters written to Nasdaq listing standards, strengthening oversight of financial reporting, executive pay and board quality as the Company pursues its Nasdaq application

 RENO, Nev., Oct. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Globaltech Corporation (OTCQB: GLTK) (“Globaltech” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based technology platform company enabling growth in AI, data and frontier technologies, today confirmed the composition of its three standing Board committees – the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee – and the adoption of a charter for each committee.

The charters and committee appointments were approved by unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors effective January 7, 2026, together with the Company's Code of Ethics and Clawback Policy. The charters are written according to the independence and composition standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Each committee is comprised of directors the Board has determined to be independent in accordance with Nasdaq’s rules which generally require that they are not part of the Company’s management and have no financial relationship with the Company beyond their role as directors.

The Board is chaired by James A. Gibbons, who served as the 28th Governor of Nevada from 2007 to 2011 and before that represented Nevada for five terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. An attorney by training, Governor Gibbons is also a former U.S. Air Force and Nevada Air National Guard pilot.

Committee membership

• Audit Committee: Mehdi Al Abduwani (Chair), James A. Gibbons, and David J. Fox. The Board has designated Mehdi Al Abduwani as the Committee's audit committee financial expert.
• Compensation Committee: Charles J. Bartolotta (Chair), Mehdi Al Abduwani, and Shahid A. Khan.
• Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: James A. Gibbons (Chair), David J. Fox, and Shahid A. Khan.

What each committee does

The Audit Committee oversees the preparation of the Company's financial statements. It hires and supervises the independent auditor, reviews every quarterly and annual report before it is filed, monitors internal controls, approves any transaction between the Company and an insider, and maintains a confidential channel for employees to report concerns. It also oversees the Company's cybersecurity and data-privacy risks.

The Compensation Committee establishes the pay of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and recommends director compensation to the Board. It ties executive pay to performance, administers the Company's equity plans, and oversees the Company's clawback policy, under which certain incentive pay can be recovered if financial results are later restated. No executive takes part in decisions about his or her own pay.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee decides who is nominated to serve on the Board. It sets the criteria for directors, leads the search for candidates, evaluates the performance of sitting directors each year, and keeps the Company's governance guidelines current. Shareholders may recommend director candidates in writing to the Company Secretary.

What this means for our shareholders

In plain terms, the people who oversee the preparation of the Company's financials, set executive pay and choose directors are now overseen by independent directors who have a fiduciary duty to the shareholders. This is the structure investors expect of a company listed on a national exchange, considered best practices and is typically required for a Nasdaq listing.

"A company earns the trust of the market one structure at a time," said Dan Green, Chief Executive Officer of Globaltech. "Independent committees overseeing financial reporting, executive pay and board composition are the foundation of that trust. We have put them in place ahead of our planned move to a national exchange, because our shareholders should not have to wait for a listing to get that level of oversight."

“Good governance is not a box to check. It is how a board earns the right to be trusted with other people’s money,” said James A. Gibbons, Chairman of the Board. “These committees put independent directors in charge of the questions shareholders care about most. Mehdi, Charles and I take those responsibilities seriously.”

Globaltech's common stock was approved for quotation on the OTCQB Venture Market on March 26, 2026, and the Company completed a 1-for-3 reverse stock split on August 27, 2026.

The Company has applied to list its common stock shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which application is currently under review. Any listing remains subject to Nasdaq’s review, satisfaction of all applicable initial listing standards and other customary conditions, as well as Nasdaq’s discretionary approval to uplist, and there can be no assurance regarding the timing or completion of the up listing.
