• Merger with RTB Digital, Inc. Completed

  On May 12, 2026, the company completed its reverse merger with RTB Digital, Inc., resulting in RYVYL Inc. being renamed RTB Digital, Inc. This transaction involved the exchange of RTB capital stock for 11,893,886 shares of RYVYL common stock, plus an additional 109,410 shares for advisory fees, leading to significant dilution for existing shareholders.

• Nasdaq Delisting Threat Resolved

  Following the merger, Nasdaq confirmed on May 13, 2026, that the company's common stock will continue to be listed and traded, making the prior delisting notice moot. This removes a critical risk to the company's market access.

• SEC Investigation Settled Without Monetary Penalty

  The SEC filed a settled action against the company and its founders on April 27, 2026, which was approved by the Court on May 11, 2026. The settlement does not require the company to pay any monetary penalty and fully resolves all claims regarding the company.

• Continued Going Concern Warning

  Management determined that the cash balance of $5.51 million as of March 31, 2026, will not be sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months, indicating substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

This quarterly report confirms the completion of the reverse merger with RTB Digital, Inc., a significant strategic event that was previously approved by shareholders. Crucially, it also announces the resolution of the Nasdaq delisting notice, allowing the company to maintain its listing, and the settlement of an SEC investigation without monetary penalties. While the company continues to face a going concern warning and reported a net loss for the quarter, these resolutions remove major existential threats and provide a clearer path forward for the newly combined entity, now renamed RTB Digital, Inc. The merger, however, resulted in substantial dilution for existing RYVYL shareholders.
