Item 8.01 Other Events.

RTB Digital, Inc., (“RTB”) the company with which Ryvyl, Inc. (“Ryvyl”) has entered into a proposed merger transaction, with Ryvyl being the surviving entity and RTB as a wholly owned subsidiary, entered a confidential Strategic Partnerships and Investment Terms Agreement ("Strategic Agreement"). Under the Strategic Agreement, RTB will gain a controlling interest of a strategically aligned company in its industry. Upon consummation of the proposed merger transaction, Ryvyl will assume the terms of the Strategic Agreement through RTB being its wholly owned subsidiary.

The Strategic Agreement requires a non-refundable deposit of $10 Million that was paid as part of signing of the agreement, which will be applied to the final purchase price. Certain terms of the Strategic Agreement are still in negotiation and are confidential, but are expected to be resolved within 30 days. In addition, there are substantive conditions to be performed and finalized, for the Strategic Agreement to be consummated, including funding and payment of the additional purchase price and RTB assuming a portion of outstanding debt held by the seller group.
