Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed, on June 12, 2025, the Company received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) regarding non-compliance with the minimum bid price rule under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”). The Company was permitted to request an appeal of such determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) by December 18, 2025 in order to prevent delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company appealed the Staff’s delisting determination by submitting a hearing request to the Panel and was granted a hearing before the Panel that was scheduled to take place on January 22, 2026 (the “Hearing”).
On January 16, 2026, the Company received a notification letter from the Staff informing the Company that it had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, and that the Company is therefore in compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements. Consequently, the Hearing before the Panel has been cancelled and Nasdaq has determined that the matter is now closed. The Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market provided it continues to comply with all applicable Nasdaq listing requirements.
On January 20, 2026, the Company issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing that it has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. A copy of the Press Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

RYVYL ANNOUNCES NASDAQ COMPLIANCE AHEAD OF ANTICIPATED MERGER WITH ROUNDTABLE; S-4 FILED
SAN DIEGO, CA – January 20, 2026 – RYVYL Inc. (NASDAQ: RVYL) (“RYVYL” or the “Company”), in anticipation of its previously announced merger with RTB Digital, Inc. (“Roundtable”), today announced that it has received formal written confirmation from The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) confirming that the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
To regain compliance, RYVYL’s common stock was required to maintain a closing bid price of $1.00 or greater for at least ten (10) consecutive business days. Nasdaq confirmed that RYVYL satisfied this requirement, with a closing bid price at or above $1.00 for ten consecutive business days from January 2, 2026 through January 15, 2026. As a result, Nasdaq has determined that the matter is now closed.
In connection with the anticipated merger, RYVYL has filed a Form S-4 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing is part of the required regulatory process related to the transaction. No changes to shareholder equity have occurred because of the compliance determination, and the Company’s capital structure remains unchanged.
All material conditions to the merger have been satisfied, apart from SEC approval of the Form S-4 and related customary closing conditions. The Company expects to provide additional updates as the process progresses.
