NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 2, 2026 / Gen 2 Technologies Inc (OTCID:MNIZ) ("Gen 2" or the "Company") today announced three developments: the signing of a definitive agreement and the completed patent assignment for the intellectual property underlying PlayPal, the Company's screen-free, AI-based developmental play companion for children ages 3-8; the initiation of the Company's change-of-control disclosure process with OTC Markets Group; and the commencement of discussions to appoint a new outside director to the Board in connection with an anticipated issuance of Preferred Stock.
Definitive Agreement and Patent Assignment
Following the agreement in principle announced on August 26, 2026, the Company has now signed a definitive agreement and executed the corresponding patent assignment, formally transferring the patent-pending intellectual property behind PlayPal to Gen 2.

The assigned IP was subject to reversion if not commercialized within 18 months and now includes a clause to renew.
With the assignment complete, the Company holds full rights to the technology and can proceed with development and commercialization planning for PayPal, and will be filing the assignment of the IP with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
