(NASDAQ:RVYL) ("RYVYL" or the "Company"), a leading innovator of payment transaction solutions leveraging electronic payment technology, announced the securityholder of its remaining 8% Senior Convertible Note ("Note"), has converted the entire outstanding principal balance of $4.0 million and accrued interest of $136,000 into 7.1 million shares of common stock.

"We've pursued an anti-dilutive strategy to restructure our balance sheet, and this final debt to equity conversion successfully completes that process," said George Oliva, CFO of RYVYL.
