Renewal Fuels Rebrands as American Fusion, Secures AMFN Ticker on FINRA
AI-generated illustration

Renewal Fuels, Inc. formally shed its old identity on March 18, when the company announced it had filed a corporate action with FINRA to change its legal name to American Fusion Inc. and secured the OTC ticker symbol AMFN, replacing the RNWF designation it had carried as a publicly traded company.

The rebrand follows the company's completed merger with Kepler Fusion Technologies, which now operates as American Fusion's wholly owned subsidiary. The company has described its strategy as building a scalable, infrastructure-grade fusion energy platform anchored in proprietary technology and long-term commercial deployment objectives, with Kepler serving as the operating vehicle for that work. The ticker change formalizes what had been a months-long transition: American Fusion had been operating under its new brand name since well before the March 18 announcement, with InvestorBrandNetwork initiating coverage of the company under the American Fusion identity as early as February 11.

The path to AMFN was not a straight line. Before FINRA's processing of the symbol, the company had submitted preferences for multiple potential trading symbols, including AFTX, AMFN, and AFEI, with the final assignment subject to FINRA's review process.

The ticker change arrives as American Fusion works to complete a series of regulatory milestones. The company's Form 10 registration statement under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was described as substantially complete, with the company in the process of obtaining the required EDGAR access codes to submit the filing to the SEC. On the audit side, the PCAOB audit covering fiscal years 2024 and 2025 was reported to be nearing completion, with only a single substantive audit item outstanding before finalization. The company noted that completing the merger's acquisition accounting simplifies the year-end audit work for fiscal 2025 and supports progress toward full SEC reporting status.

Governance received attention during this same period. On February 23, Fabrice David was appointed as an Independent Director, with the company's press release from its Southlake, Texas offices framing the appointment as strengthening oversight as American Fusion advances its Texatron™ platform, expands its patent portfolio, and pushes toward SEC registration. Additional patent filings in support of the Texatron™ platform were cited as ongoing across multiple company communications.

On the legal front, the company refiled its Motion for Entry of Default Judgment on February 27 in what it has referred to as the Washington matter, adding specificity to the motion as requested by the court. The company provided that update publicly on March 2 and indicated further disclosures would follow as appropriate.

American Fusion's repositioning under the new name signals an intent to move fusion energy out of the laboratory and into industrial and infrastructure deployment. Whether the Form 10 lands on EDGAR and the PCAOB audit closes cleanly will be the next visible markers of how well that ambition translates into regulatory standing.
