RYVYL (RVYL) Initiates coyni Spin-Off and Value Creation Strategy

RYVYL Inc. (NASDAQ: RVYL) ("RYVYL” or the "Company"), a company that leverages the security of the blockchain and USD-pegged stablecoin technology with near-real-time attestation to conduct payment transactions, today announced it has initiated a spin-off plan for our wholly-owned subsidiary coyni inc., the Company’s stablecoin technology, that will assist in the broad value creation strategy by means of a special dividend to be paid following the anticipated completion of the spin-off.

As previously discussed in a July 2021 press release, the Company believes the separation of coyni from the Company’s payment processing business will allow each business to better focus on its own strategic and operational objectives. RYVYL and coyni intend to maintain a strong relationship moving forward. The Company has identified and expects to acquire the vehicle in the coming weeks to proceed with the planned spin-off into a publicly traded company. The Company has also identified the investment banking team for the proposed transaction and is in the process of evaluating mergers with possible partners.

coyni features one of the industry's few stablecoins backed one-to-one by the U.S. dollar, with near real-time attestation. With coyni, users can confidently execute secure peer-to-peer, consumer-to-business or business-to-business transactions with near instant funds availability. The assets of the anticipated spin-off entity include the smart contract token technology, coyni branding, and revenues.

“The digital payments and banking arena continues to evolve quickly with companies jockeying for position to grab as much of the lucrative financial transaction market as possible,” said Ben Errez, Chairman of RYVYL Inc. “While we have made great strides with our payment processing business, we believe now that we have identified the best path forward to create value for our shareholders through the spin-off of coyni as a public company with the goal of establishing it as the premier stablecoin in the market. We believe the growth trajectory of coyni will unlock significant shareholder value that RYVYL shareholders will be able to participate in after a Board approved special dividend issuance upon completion of the spin-off.”

RYVYL will provide additional details during its financial results conference call, the timing of which will be announced shortly. Please continue to monitor the Company’s press releases at https://investors.ryvyl.com/news-events/press-releases/ for additional information.
