DRCR Advances Strategic Shift with UAE Refinery Acquisition and Corporate Rebranding

DRCR, an emerging diversified holding company, has announced significant progress in implementing its 2026 business plan through strategic initiatives aimed at repositioning and expanding operations. The company has posted a pre-registration website at https://www.Techplay24.com for the anticipated initial public offering of its spun-out gaming technology business, with qualifying shareholders of record as of December 31, 2025, eligible to receive shares. This move represents a strategic divestiture as the company shifts focus toward industrial oil operations.

As part of this strategic realignment, DRCR will initiate the process of changing its name to Matrix Fuels Inc. at both state and regulatory levels with OTC Markets Group Inc., with a new corporate website under development at https://www.matrix-fuels.com. The company will maintain its social media presence on X (formerly Twitter) under the handle @MatrixFuels, undergoing only a brand change consistent with the new corporate identity. This rebranding reflects the company's fundamental shift in business direction and market positioning.

The company expects to acquire a modern waste oil refinery located in the United Arab Emirates that specializes in reprocessing waste marine oil, commonly known as "slop," collected from ships and tankers. The UAE hosts some of the world's busiest ports, with industry estimates indicating more than 20,000-25,000 vessel calls annually across UAE ports, generating significant volumes of marine waste exceeding 500,000 metric tons regionally each year. The refinery charges vessels fees for waste removal and processing, subsequently selling reprocessed output as various repurposed oils and lubricants. Additionally, the facility processes waste industrial oil into fuel oil and lubricants, sourcing supply from large industrial collectors and government-linked waste collection programs, with more than 300,000 metric tons of used industrial and automotive oil collected annually within the UAE.

This acquisition comes at a time when regional instability due to military action spillover has created supply disruptions, with many oil-producing nations in the Middle East and Russia currently unable to fully supply key markets, particularly in Europe. Local and export demand for oil and fuel oil has reached an all-time high, creating significant opportunities for energy trade and supply diversification. The United Arab Emirates maintains export ports on its southern coastline, allowing shipments to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring continued access to international markets despite regional tensions.

The valuation of the proposed acquisition has been agreed in principle, subject to final due diligence currently underway. Financing has been provisionally agreed, largely structured through a combination of equity and a royalty arrangement. Management aims to complete the acquisition within the next two to three months, subject to completion of due diligence, definitive agreements, and regulatory approvals. Nicolas Link, Chairman, stated that the acquisition represents a high-margin, cash-generative, and profitable opportunity with strong sustainable demand, noting that waste oil, especially marine waste oil, presents both economic and environmental value as a significant global environmental challenge.

This strategic shift marks a new chapter for the company as it transitions from a diversified holding company to a focused industrial oil business. While considerable administrative work remains during this transition period, management believes the business model offers substantial growth potential and is moving rapidly to complete formalities. The company's corporate information remains available through regulatory channels including https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/DRCR/profile, providing investors with access to official filings and disclosures.
