SOUTHLAKE, Texas, June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American EcoFuels™ Inc. (OTC: AEFI) (“American EcoFuels™” or the “Company”), formerly known as Eco Innovation Group, Inc. (OTC: ECOX), today announced that the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has processed the Company’s corporate name change and new trading symbol.
The Company’s common stock will begin trading under the name American EcoFuels™ Inc. and the ticker symbol “AEFI” effective June 23, 2026. The corporate action was published on the FINRA Daily List on June 22, 2026 and becomes effective at the open of trading on June 23, 2026.
The completion of the Company’s name and ticker symbol change represents a significant milestone in its strategic transformation and aligns the Company’s public identity with its focus on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (“SAF”), synthetic fuels, and advanced gas-to-liquids technologies.
American EcoFuels™ is advancing its commercial strategy through its transaction with Kepler GTL Technologies Inc., which includes proprietary gas-to-liquids (“GTL”) technologies designed to convert natural gas and other feedstocks into Sustainable Aviation Fuel and related low-carbon fuel products. Management believes the rebranding to American EcoFuels™ more accurately reflects the Company’s long-term strategic direction and expanding role within the sustainable fuels sector.
The Company is currently nearing completion of its two-year PCAOB audit and is preparing a Form 10 registration statement in anticipation of audit completion. Management believes these initiatives, together with the Company’s ongoing engineering, commercialization, and intellectual property development activities, represent important milestones in establishing American EcoFuels as a fully reporting public company positioned for long-term growth.
Over the past several months, the Company has advanced a number of strategic initiatives, including development of its Sustainable Aviation Fuel Test Plant, expansion of its intellectual property portfolio through additional patent filings, strategic airline outreach regarding potential long-term SAF offtake opportunities, and broader commercialization initiatives intended to support future production and market expansion. The Company also recently initiated the process of pursuing a dual listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as part of its broader capital markets strategy intended to expand international visibility and investor access.
Richard Hawkins, CEO of American EcoFuels, stated, “The completion of our name and ticker symbol change marks the culmination of a significant corporate transition and the beginning of our next phase of growth as American EcoFuels. In parallel with this milestone, we are nearing completion of our two-year PCAOB audit and are preparing our Form 10 registration statement in anticipation of that audit being finalized. At the same time, we continue advancing our commercialization strategy through engineering initiatives, strategic airline outreach, and the continued expansion of our intellectual property portfolio. We believe these efforts collectively position American EcoFuels for long-term growth as we execute on our vision of becoming a meaningful participant in the Sustainable Aviation Fuel sector.”
Brent Nelson, Director of American EcoFuels™ Inc. and CEO of Kepler GTL Technologies Inc., added, “This milestone aligns the Company’s public identity with the business we are building. Our focus remains on advancing the technologies, strategic relationships, and commercialization initiatives necessary to position American EcoFuels™ as a long-term participant in the rapidly expanding Sustainable Aviation Fuel market. We believe the opportunities before us are substantial, and we remain committed to disciplined execution as we move into this next phase of growth.”
The Company expects to continue providing updates as it advances its engineering, commercialization, intellectual property, regulatory, and strategic development initiatives.
