A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”) and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

You are advised that the financial information presented in the press release is based on preliminary, unaudited financial statements prepared by management, for the year ended December 31, 2024, and has not yet been reviewed by the Company’s independent auditors. Accordingly, such financial information may be subject to change. All information contained in the press release is qualified with reference to the audited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is expected to be released on or around March 13, 2025, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and will be posted on www.SEC.gov and on the Company’s website at www.investors.ryvyl.com/financials/sec-filings/. While the Company does not expect there to be any material changes to the financial information provided in the press release, any variation between the Company’s actual results and the preliminary financial information set forth in the press release may be material.

 

The information in this Item 2.02 and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto will not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor will it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

The Company also reported in the press release that it intends to explore fundraising options, including term debt and/or equity financing to fund the termination payment of $16.5 million of its previously announced financing and asset sale agreement entered into on January 24, 2025, for the sale of the Company’s RYVYL EU subsidiary.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report, including exhibits attached herein, may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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. 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.

 

There may be events in the future that the Company is not able to accurately predict or control. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed under risk factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and other filings filed with the SEC (including its Current Reports on Form 8-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q), including the uncertainties associated with the Company’s termination of the sale of Ryvyl EU and ability to raise capital, the regulatory environment in which the Company operates, rapid changes in technology and in the Company’s industry, turmoil in the banking sector with respect to payment-processing and digital asset management, strategic growth opportunities and initiatives, and the Company’s proprietary technology. These statements are also subject to any damages the Company may suffer as a result of previously announced litigation or action of any governmental agencies. 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.

 

You may access the Company’s SEC filings by visiting SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
