Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

As previously announced, the stockholders of RYVYL Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), approved the proposed merger with RTB Digital, Inc. (“RTB”), at a special meeting of stockholders held on April 1, 2026.  Upon the closure of the merger, the post-merger company will have more than $20 Million in shareholder equity resulting from RTB’s additive stockholders’ equity. Therefore, the Company will be in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing and for its Common Stock to continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

As the Company awaits NASDAQ’s approval of the continued listing, which is the final condition to closing the merger, the Company will remain out of shareholders’ equity compliance, while the Company waits for RTB’s merged shareholder equity contribution. In the meantime, Nasdaq will continue to give notice of technical non-compliance, until the merger. 

On April 23, 2026, the Company received written notice (“Notice”) regarding non-compliance of the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2.5 Million for continued listing on Nasdaq Capital Market under Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Rule”). The Notice provides that unless the Company requests an appeal of the determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) by April 30, 2026, the Common Stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on May 4, 2026. The Company has filed its request for an appeal hearing as of April 29, 2026.

The Company and RTB expect that upon the merger the combined companies will be fully compliant with all the Nasdaq listing criteria.  The Company believes the merger will be completed prior to the appeal hearing, and therefore the Company’s non-compliance will be fully remedied.  The Company’s “appeal” stays the suspension of the Common Stock from trading pending the Panel’s decision. The Company will timely submit the plan to regain compliance to the Panel, which is simply, completing the merger.  

Forward-Looking Statements

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 8-K and Press Release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such forward-looking statements are characterized by future or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate” and “continue” or similar words, including statements regarding the Company’s ability to regain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing standards. 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 statements are only predictions and the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by these statements.

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. Risk factors affecting the Company are discussed in detail in the Company’s filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable laws. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements included in this Form 8-K, including statements regarding the Company’s ability to regain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing standards, consummating the acquisition of RTB Digital, Inc., being able to integrate the acquired business and continue to operate the acquired business in a successful manner, and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected and those discussed under risk factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other filings filed with the SEC (including its Current Reports on Form 8-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q). Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements as circumstances change. The Company gives no assurance that it will achieve its expectations.
