Roustan Media Partnership Agreement
On January 14, 2025, the Company entered into a Coalition Partner Agreement with Roustan Media Inc., an entity affiliated with a member of the Company’s board of directors. The director’s service ended on May 25, 2026. Under the agreement, effective January 1, 2025, the Company provides digital publishing, advertising operations, distribution, and related platform services for Roustan Media’s media properties, including The Hockey News and related websites.
Pursuant to the agreement and a related term sheet executed in June 2025, the Company collects advertising and distribution revenues and remits a contractually defined revenue share to Roustan Media. The revised economics include a minimum monthly revenue support arrangement applicable to certain months in 2025, under which the Company agreed to compensate Roustan Media for shortfalls between actual advertising collections and a specified monthly threshold of $90. The specified monthly threshold ended on November 4, 2025, following the execution of the Company’s Strategic Partnership with True Sports, ULC and Roustan Media, Inc. See Related Party Note Receivable section below for additional information.
September 2025 Convertible Notes and Warrants
In September 2025, the Company entered into Convertible Note Purchase Agreements (the “September 2025 Convertible Notes”) with investors, including multiple related parties. The Convertible Notes were issued in exchange for cash and digital asset consideration and are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes bore interest at the stated contractual rate and were to mature during September 2026, unless earlier converted in accordance with their terms. The Convertible Notes were convertible into equity of the Company upon the occurrence of certain events or at the option of the holders, as defined in the agreements.
The merger between Company and Ryvyl Inc., effective May 12, 2026, was deemed to represent a qualifying corporate transaction, as defined in the agreements, resulting in the automatic conversion of the entire principal and all interest accrued on the September 2025 Convertible Notes and related warrants, into shares of common stock and warrants of the post-merger Company. In connection with the conversions, the Company issued a total of 7,688,755 shares of common stock and 1,537,752 warrants during the quarter ended June 30, 2026. See Note 9, Stockholders’ Equity, for additional information.
Related Party Note Receivable
On November 4, 2025, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent for a long-term strategic partnership agreement (the “Strategic Partnership”) with True Sports, ULC and Roustan Media, Inc. (collectively, the “Customer”), all of which are owned by a related party of the Company. In connection with the Strategic Partnership, the Company entered into a $5.0 million zero-interest note receivable (the “Note Receivable” or the “Note”) to the Customer. The Note Receivable has a contractual term of five years and requires quarterly principal payments of $0.125 million, with the remaining balance due as a balloon payment at the Note Receivable’s maturity on November 3, 2030.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company received one Note payment totaling $0.04 million, which was recorded as a reduction of the Note principal. Including the aforementioned payment, the Company has received an aggregate of $0.08 million in Note payments from the Customer. The Company previously recorded a reserve of $0.75 million against the Note as of December 31, 2025. The Company determined that the previously recorded reserve of $0.75 million remains appropriate and sufficient, based on its assessment of collectability of the Note as of June 30, 2026.
