Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 28, 2025, RYVYL Inc. (“Ryvyl”), RYVYL Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ryvyl, and RTB Digital, Inc. (“RTB”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, (the “Merger Agreement”), as subsequently amended. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on May 12, 2026, Merger Sub merged with and into RTB, with RTB surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Ryvyl. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Ryvyl changed its name from “Ryvyl Inc.” to “RTB Digital, Inc.” to reflect the ongoing business of RTB as the world’s only full-stack enterprise media platform, combining AI-powered operations for IP management and security, full-stack Web3 publishing infrastructure, and a “real-time” DeFi payment, reporting, and settlement platform for media sales, distribution and operations managed across the RTB platform.
The merger parties agreed to consummate the merger notwithstanding any unfulfilled conditions thereto, and agreed that certain actions, such as the resignation and appointment of directors and other actions set forth in the Merger Agreement and that would ordinarily take place at the consummation of the merger would be taken in due course over the following couple of days
As a result of the merger being consummated, Ryvyl will issue 11,893,886 shares of common stock in exchange for the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, preferred stock and assumed notes and interest due thereon, resulting in an aggregate of 13,174,895 shares of common stock being issued and outstanding immediately after the merger. Ryvyl will also assume various other equity awards and warrants previously issued by RTB and outstanding as of the date of the merger, as agreed upon in the Merger Agreement. Ryvyl will also issue 109,410 shares due under its investment banking agreement with Maxim Partners LLC.
On May 13, 2026, the common stock of the post-merger company will commence trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol RTB. The CUSIP number for the common stock remains the same as that assigned prior to the merger. Current outstanding share certificates and share account statements of Ryvyl are not required to be exchanged for new certificates to reflect the name change. Certificates of outstanding shares of Ryvyl, currently in the name of Ryvyl Inc., may be sent to the transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY 11598; telephone (212) 828-8436, to be reissued in the name of RTB Digital, Inc. Book entry account statements will reflect the change of name automatically.

These forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current beliefs, assumptions and expectations regarding future events, which in turn are based on information currently available to the Company. Such forward-looking statements include statements that are characterized by future or conditional words such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate" and "continue" or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss future expectations and plans, which contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition or state other forward-looking information. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding the timing and effects of the merger transaction between the Company and RTB Digital, Inc. By their nature, forward-looking statements address matters that are subject to risks and uncertainties. A variety of factors could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements, including that the merger will not guarantee that the Company regains compliance with Nasdaq's listing requirements or will remain in compliance with all other requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. Other risk factors affecting the Company are discussed in detail in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
