Global
Tech Industries Group, Inc.’s (the “Company”) today commented, as more fully set forth below, on the complaint filed
by White Rocks (BVI) Holdings Inc. and certain other plaintiffs against the Company, David Reichman, Kathy M. Griffin, Frank Benintendo
and Donald Gilbert in the District Court Clark County (the “Court”) on July 2, 2024 (the “Complaint”). The Complaint
contains various allegations, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, fraudulent concealment, and seeks damages in excess of $15,000,
as well as other equitable relief. The plaintiffs have also filed a motion seeking to have the Court appoint a receiver or a custodian
over the Company and its business and assets (“Receiver”).
The
Company has not yet been formally served with the Complaint, but does intend to vigorously defend against all allegations and claims
by the plaintiffs. In the meantime, the Company has opposed the plaintiffs’ motion for appointment of a receiver. A copy of the
Company’s opposition filed with the Court on August 5, 2024 (“Opposition”) can be viewed at (Case No.: A-24-896359-B).
As
set forth in the Company’s Opposition, the Company believes that the Complaint contains numerous false allegations and was filed
intentionally in an effort by certain lead plaintiffs, including Richard Hofman, to mislead the Company’s shareholders and publicly
tarnish the Company’s and its senior management’s reputations through the public domain in an effort to obtain by threat
of litigation and/or injunction certain results for their own self-serving and improper purposes without any meaningful benefit to the
Company’s shareholders. On the contrary, the Complaint has caused the Company to divert its limited resources to respond to and
litigate the frivolous claims asserted in the Complaint, instead of continuing to focus all its efforts to (i) complete the audit of
the Company’s financial statements for its fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (the “2023 Audit”), (ii) file
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) the Company’s amended Annual Report on Form 10-K for its
fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”), (iii) file with the SEC the Company’s Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024 (the “March 2024 Quarterly Report”), (iv) become current with the
Company’s ongoing SEC reporting obligations, and (v) advance the Company’s potential business and strategic opportunities
that it is currently working on, which the Company believes are in the Company’s and its shareholders best interests.
As
set forth in the Company’s Opposition, it is the Company’s position that the plaintiffs represent less than 6% of the outstanding
shareholders and lack the requisite standing to seek appointment of a Receiver. Among other things, the purported lead plaintiff, White
Rocks (BVI) Holdings Inc., does not appear as a shareholder of record on any official list of shareholders of the Company. Furthermore,
the single largest purported plaintiff, AI Commerce, Inc., has to date, failed to fulfill its obligations under the August 23, 2023 Membership
Interest Purchase Agreement, and is therefore not a holder of any shares in the Company.
Moreover,
the Company believes the appointment of a Receiver will be extremely costly and detrimental to the Company’s shareholders for all
the reasons set forth in the Opposition. Neither Mr. Hofman nor the proposed Receiver have yet to demonstrate to the Court, or to the
Company’s shareholders how they would purport to have the Company complete the 2023 Audit, file the 2023 Annual Report, file the
March 2024 Quarterly Report and advance the Company’s business interests faster or in a better or more efficient way than the Company’s
current management. The Company specifically notes to its shareholders that the rules and regulations of the SEC and PCAOB, which the
Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, Fortune CPA, Inc. (“Fortune”), is required to comply with,
require Fortune to first complete the 2023 Audit before being able to proceed with its review of the Company’s financial statements
for its fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024, in order to then allow the Company to file the March 2024 Quarterly Report. Please see the
Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on May 10, 2024, which discusses the SEC’s order (the “SEC
Order”) which permanently barred BF Borgers CPA PC (“Borgers”) and its sole audit partner, Benjamin F. Borgers CPA
from appearing or practicing before the SEC as an accountant and as a result of which the Company promptly engaged Fortune as its Company’s
new independent registered public accounting firm.
The
information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) shall not be deemed “filed”
for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject
to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by reference in such a filing.

and in the Company’s other filings and submissions with the SEC. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof,
and the Company disclaims any obligation to update these statements, except as may be required by law. The Company intends that all forward-looking
statements be subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
