Capital Structure Discipline: Reducing the Float, Raising the Standard at SecureTech

Capital Structure Discipline: Reducing the Float, Raising the Standard at SecureTech

How SecureTech Completed Its Share Reduction Program and Reset Its Capital Structure

On January 12, 2026, we announced “SecureTech Successfully Completes Share Reduction Program” via our corporate press release. This multi-phase initiative was undertaken to materially reduce our outstanding common shares and to reinforce a higher standard of discipline across the Company’s capital structure.

Aside from the press release, we’d like to take this opportunity to explore with you why the program was undertaken, how it was executed, and why capital structure discipline matters to SecureTech and its current and future stakeholders.

The January 12, 2026 Announcement

As detailed in our January 12, 2026, press release, SecureTech completed a structured, three‑phase Share Reduction Program that resulted in the cancellation of roughly 61.4 million shares of common stock. Upon completion of the program, the Company reported 17,077,368 issued and outstanding common shares.

The program was executed in three defined phases:

  • Phase 1: Cancellation of 43,100,000 shares
  • Phase 2: Cancellation of 4,000,000 shares
  • Final Phase: Cancellation of 14,300,000 shares

Each phase was implemented with the objective of simplifying and strengthening our capitalization profile, while ensuring accuracy, consistency, and transparency across corporate records and public disclosures.

It is also important to note that the intent to restructure SecureTech’s share base did not emerge overnight. The concept of a meaningful share reduction was envisioned in earlier periods and began taking clearer shape during 2024. However, it was not until the appointment of Mr. Scott Sitra as Chief Executive Officer that this intention was translated into a disciplined, executable program. Mr. Sitra quickly and effectively moved the initiative from a stalled concept to full completion through structured oversight and operational follow‑through.

This renewed commitment was formally articulated in the Company’s January 27, 2025 press release, titled “SecureTech’s 2025 Roadmap: Driving Innovation and Growth”. Under the section Key Strategic Initiatives Planned for 2025, management outlined their objective to continue the Share Reduction Program with the goal of reducing issued and outstanding shares to approximately 17 million. While the program ultimately concluded one quarter later than originally anticipated — due to the simultaneous execution of other strategic initiatives — the Share Reduction Program was completed within a reasonable timeframe and in line with its stated objectives.

Capital Structure as an Operational Asset

At SecureTech, we view capital structure as more than a headline metric. It is an operational asset that plays a critical role in governance, compliance, and long‑term planning.

A clearly defined and responsibly managed share structure supports:

  • Governance clarity — by reducing ambiguity around ownership and dilution.
  • Disclosure consistency — ensuring public communications and filings accurately reflect corporate records.
  • Capital planning discipline — allowing management and the board to evaluate strategic and financing decisions from a stable foundation.
  • Stakeholder confidence — particularly among shareholders, advisors, and counterparties who value predictability and control.

Completing the Share Reduction Program reflects our belief that disciplined capitalization is a prerequisite for responsible execution.

Execution Over Intention

Programs of this nature require more than stated intent. They demand coordinated execution across governance, legal, and administrative functions. Completing the Share Reduction Program involved:

  • Formal authorization and oversight at the board level;
  • Ongoing coordination with legal counsel to ensure compliance with applicable corporate and securities requirements;
  • Alignment with the Company’s transfer agent to accurately reflect share cancellations; and,
  • Careful synchronization of public disclosures, filings, and internal documentation

This level of coordination is essential to ensuring that corporate actions are implemented correctly and communicated clearly.

Governance and Accountability

The completion of the Share Reduction Program reflects SecureTech’s broader governance posture. As a public company, we recognize that accountability is demonstrated not only by what is announced, but by how initiatives are executed and documented.

By completing a multi‑phase program and clearly disclosing the outcome (both ‘green lights’ and ‘red lights’) through multiple communication mediums, we reinforce our commitment to operating with greater structure, transparency, and follow‑through. This standard is important as we advance the Company’s long‑term objectives.

Looking Ahead

Capital structure discipline is not a one‑time action, but an ongoing responsibility. We view the completion of this program as a foundational step that supports governance, compliance, and more informed decision‑making as SecureTech continues to execute its short- and long-term operational strategy.

In the coming weeks, we intend to expand on this foundation through a short series of follow‑up posts addressing other key elements of SecureTech’s execution roadmap. This includes strategic initiatives, capital‑markets objectives, and the operational focus supporting the Company’s next phase.
