Certificate of Amendment regulatory
"filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation"
A certificate of amendment is an official filing that updates a company’s founding documents—its legal “rulebook” that sets share structure, voting rules, name and basic purpose. Think of it like changing the blueprint of a building: small changes are paperwork, big ones can alter who owns how much and who controls decisions. Investors watch these filings because they can affect share counts, voting power, dilution and company value.

"corporate-action notification to FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 6490"

"common stock continues to be quoted on the OTC Pink under the trading symbol “ATVK”"
OTC Pink is a trading tier for stocks that are not listed on major exchanges and generally have the least regulatory oversight and public disclosure. Think of it as a flea market for shares: prices can swing wildly and it can be hard to find reliable information or buyers, so investors face higher risks of loss, limited liquidity, and greater chance of fraud or sudden price jumps.

Item 5.03  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On April 15, 2026, GlobalTek Ventures, Inc. (formerly Ameritek Ventures, Inc.) (the “Company”) filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (Filing Number 20265675229) to change the Company's corporate name from “Ameritek Ventures, Inc.” to “GlobalTek Ventures, Inc.”

The Certificate of Amendment was approved by the Company's board of directors and the holder of a majority of the Company's voting power. As permitted by Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.209, no action by the Company's stockholders was required because the amendment was a name-change-only amendment.

The Certificate of Amendment became effective at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on April 17, 2026.

Other than the change of the Company's corporate name, the Certificate of Amendment did not amend any other terms of the Company's Articles of Incorporation. The name change does not affect (i) the rights of any of the Company's stockholders, (ii) the par value of the Company's common stock or any series of preferred stock, (iii) the number of shares of any class or series of capital stock authorized to be issued by the Company, or (iv) any of the Company's outstanding indebtedness.

On April 16, 2026, the State of Nevada issued a new Nevada State Business License to the Company under the new corporate name (Certificate Number B202604166624478, Nevada Business Identification Number NV20101895550), with an expiration date of December 31, 2026.

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the new Nevada State Business License is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Trading Symbol and CUSIP.

The Company's common stock continues to be quoted on the OTC Pink under the trading symbol “ATVK” pending processing of the corporate action by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). The Company has submitted, or intends to submit, the required corporate-action notification to FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 6490. The Company will issue a further announcement once FINRA has processed the corporate action and assigned a new trading symbol and/or CUSIP, as applicable.

 

Item 8.01  Other Events.

 

The Company's name change to “GlobalTek Ventures, Inc.” reflects the broader strategic repositioning of the Company that has been disclosed in prior reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed on April 15, 2026. The Company's strategic focus is on solid-state batteries through its wholly owned subsidiary Galaxy Batteries, Inc., adaptive and robotic manufacturing, aerospace services through its wholly owned subsidiary AeroPass, Inc., and luxury corporate housing through its wholly owned subsidiary Chicago Real Estate Partners, LLC.
