Slync.io is a Dallas-based shipping and logistics company.
Despite the club's latest points deduction, Chris Kirchner is going ahead with his attempt to buy Derby County.
They are 18 points from safety in the Championship.
The English Football League's latest deduction had not changed the intent of Kirchner.
In an open letter to supporters last month, the co- founder of global logistics company Slync.io confirmed his interest in taking over Derby.
He said he was willing to work through the complex issues with the administrators, who have always said they are hopeful of finding a suitable buyer.
The process has proven to be a long and complex one and we knew there would be challenges with the club, but my intent has not changed.
We are doing our diligence on the club. The owners and directors test submission of almost a dozen documents, including sufficiency of funds and origin of funds, did not result in any disqualifying condition, according to my attorney.
"This is a great milestone in the process and I thank the EFL for their quick work on this matter."
I have to plan for the future now.
Rooney welcomed the interest and said he had some really good ideas.
"Anything is possible and of course there is a chance we can stay up, but also we have to be realistic, there is a big possibility that we'll go into League One," said the 36-year-old.
I have to plan for the future of this club, whether that's Championship or League One, and in order to do that it's vital that we get the new owners in as soon as possible because that's the only way I can plan how we move forward.
It makes it almost impossible for me to put things in place if that goes on for a long time.
Derby would be 19th in the table if it wasn't for the points deductions, having won three and drawn nine of their 17 games so far, with Rooney having only been able to sign players who were free agents.
A total of 44 points was enough to keep the Rams up last season, but they would need 47 points from their remaining 29 games to reach that figure.
