Renewal Fuels, Inc. (OTC: RNWF) has provided an update on its pending civil action in King County Superior Court regarding share rescission matters. According to the company's announcement, the court dismissed all claims against Justin Costello on February 26, 2026, under Civil Rule 41 and struck his emergency motion for stay after he was removed as a party to the case. This development represents a significant procedural step in the ongoing litigation that has implications for the company's corporate restructuring efforts.
The court also struck the company's motion for entry of default judgment against the remaining corporate defendants, though this action was taken on procedural grounds related solely to citation formatting. Importantly, the defaults against those corporate defendants remain in place, and the court's decision did not address service issues, rescission claims, the evidentiary record, or the merits of the underlying claims. The civil action seeks rescission of two asset purchase agreements from 2021 and cancellation of approximately 1.683 billion shares that were allegedly issued without consideration.
Renewal Fuels stated it is refiling a corrected motion in compliance with the court's procedural directives. The company believes this represents the last remaining material item required to effect its corporate action with FINRA for a name and voluntary symbol change. This corporate action is part of the company's broader strategic transformation following its merger with Kepler Fusion Technologies, through which it is operating under the American Fusion brand and has filed to change its legal name to American Fusion Inc.
The company's focus on fusion energy technology development through its wholly owned subsidiary, Kepler Fusion Technologies, positions it within the advanced energy sector. Renewal Fuels describes its strategy as centered on building a scalable, infrastructure-grade fusion energy platform supported by proprietary technology, disciplined intellectual property development, and long-term commercial deployment objectives. The resolution of the share rescission case represents a critical step toward completing the corporate restructuring necessary to advance these strategic goals.
