Anderson, South Carolina--(Newsfile Corp. - January 4, 2024) - JZZ Technologies, Inc.'s (OTC Pink: JZZI) (OTC Pink: JZZID) ("JZZ" or the "Company") announces that the Company has effected a name change to Ideal Group of Companies Inc. ("Ideal Group"). The Company will trade under the temporary symbol JZZID for a period and then receive its new designated trading symbol in approximately 30 days. The name and temporary symbol changes are effective as of the January 3, 2024, trade date.

The name change reflects the Company's new identity and business direction, which focuses on real estate projects, real estate financing, commercial lending and commercial, and residential real estate, vacation rentals and RV resorts, and housing development projects.

Over the past months, the Company has aggressively acquired multiple wholly owned subsidiaries that will form the company's operating divisions. This strategic roll-up of companies has resulted in what is now a diversified company with interests across key areas in the real estate, lending, resort vacation, and construction markets. The acquisitions began with Lion Development Corporation, followed by O2 Mortgage Corp. dba Oxygen Mortgage, and most recently, Portfolio Partners, Inc. and its subsidiary Travel Zen, Inc.

With these subsidiaries fully acquired, the Company now has operating offices and operations in South Carolina, Colorado, Illinois, and Florida. Oxygen Mortgage is currently licensed in the states of Arizona, Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and Tennessee.

The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Robert Egeland as a Board Director of Ideal Group. Mr. Egeland will act as President of the new Real Estate Division of the Company, overseeing all aspects of the real estate project strategies and development projects, along with the mortgage finance and commercial lending divisions.

Robert Egeland brings over 30 years of experience in the mortgage business, having closed on more than 28,000 loans through his business ventures with an aggregate value of over $80 million. Oxygen Mortgage was created as his vision of the ideal mortgage brokerage company. His focus with Ideal Group will be on integrating all aspects of the existing businesses and subsidiaries.

Ideal Group of Companies Inc. CEO Charles Cardona states, "The acquisition path that we began over a year ago has put us in this very positive position and solidified our new direction as the Ideal Group of Companies. Each of the subsidiaries represents a strategic holding within the real estate and financing space that, when combined, form a holistic approach that puts on an equal footing with the leading peer companies in our space."

"Our vision is to create an integrated real estate project development, sales, financing, and marketing business that creates quality projects, builds on unique opportunities, and delivers outstanding value -both for the communities that we serve and our stakeholders," Cardona added.

All shareholders of JZZ Technologies, Inc. stock will automatically receive notification of the new name and symbol via the Company's transfer agent. Shareholders are not required to take any action to reflect the change through their accounts.
