Renewal Fuels, Inc. (OTC: RNWF), an advanced energy platform company focused on fusion energy through its subsidiary Kepler Fusion Technologies, provided an update on its pending civil action in King County Superior Court. The company reported that on February 26, 2026, the court dismissed all claims against Justin Costello under Civil Rule 41 and struck his emergency motion for stay after he was removed as a party. The court also struck the company’s motion for entry of default judgment against the remaining corporate defendants on procedural grounds related solely to citation formatting, while leaving defaults against those defendants in place and not addressing service, rescission, the evidentiary record or the merits of the claims.
The action seeks rescission of two 2021 asset purchase agreements and cancellation of approximately 1.683 billion shares allegedly issued without consideration. The company said it is refiling a corrected motion in compliance with procedural directives and believes this is the last remaining material item required to effect its corporate action with FINRA for a name and voluntary symbol change.

Renewal Fuels is operating under the American Fusion brand following its merger with Kepler and has filed a corporate action with FINRA to change its legal name to American Fusion Inc. The company’s strategy centers on building a scalable, infrastructure-grade fusion energy platform supported by proprietary technology, disciplined intellectual property development, and long-term commercial deployment objectives. This court update is significant as it clears a procedural hurdle that could pave the way for the name and symbol change, which may impact the company's market positioning and investor perception.
This development is part of the company's ongoing efforts to restructure and advance its fusion energy initiatives. The dismissal of claims against Costello and the procedural setback on default judgment highlight the complexities the company faces in its legal proceedings. However, management's confidence that the corrected motion will be the final material item for FINRA action suggests a potential near-term resolution.
