RYVYL Inc. (“RYVYL”) is a financial technology company that develops software platforms and tools that are focused on providing global payment acceptance and disbursement capabilities. RYVYL’s strategy is rooted in our mission to transform the global payments landscape through technology-driven, customer-centric, and compliance-focused financial solutions. Our first-generation product, QuickCard, was originally developed to facilitate payment processing for predominantly cash-based businesses in certain niche high-risk business verticals. It was a comprehensive physical and virtual payment card processing management system that offered a cloud-based network interface, merchant management, and point-of-sale (POS) connectivity to facilitate noncash payment methods such as credit cards, debit cards and prepaid gift cards, and to subsequently disburse those funds electronically to merchants upon request. In early 2024, in response to evolving changes in the compliance environment and banking regulations, the Company began transitioning QuickCard to a fully virtual, app-based product. In mid-2024, the Company further transitioned its QuickCard product from a direct offering to a licensing model, whereby partners with more suitable compliance capabilities could license the platform from the Company and offer its payments processing capabilities in the same business verticals the Company previously served directly.

Appointment of Mary Elizabeth Truss as Director
On September 30, 2026, the Board of Directors
of RTB Digital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) appointed Mary Elizabeth Truss as a director of the Company. Ms.
Truss will serve as a director until her successor is duly elected and qualified.
Ms. Truss served as the 56th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
She was the Conservative MP for South West Norfolk between 2010 and 2024, during which period she held ministerial office for more than
ten years between 2012 and 2022 and, after an initial spell as a junior education minister, sat at the Cabinet table in six different
roles, prior to becoming Prime Minister: Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Lord Chancellor and Secretary
of State for Justice; Chief Secretary to the Treasury; Secretary of State for International Trade; and Foreign Secretary - as well
as Minister for Women and Equalities.
As Prime Minister she sought to implement her Plan for Growth, including
a raft of tax cuts to kick-start economic growth and reforms to boost productivity. Regrettably these reforms were sabotaged as a result
of the actions of the Bank of England and opposition from Conservatives In Name Only in the House of Commons and she reached the conclusion
that she could not deliver the mandate on which she had been elected and stepped down.
Her Sunday Times best-seller Ten Years to Save the West was published by Skyhorse in April 2024 and in December 2025 launched The Liz Truss Show, available on YouTube and all major podcast
platforms.
The Company believes Ms. Truss’s international business, government,
and media experience, together with her relationships in the United Kingdom media market, will provide the Board and the Company with
valuable perspective as the Company develops and operates its enterprise media operating system.
In connection with her appointment, Ms. Truss will enter into the Company’s
standard form of Board of Directors Agreement. Under the agreement, Ms. Truss will be eligible to receive an annual equity award with
a grant-date fair value of $150,000, to be granted in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Because Ms. Truss was appointed
other than at an annual meeting of shareholders, she will receive a prorated RSU award for the portion of the 2026 annual service period
remaining following the full execution of her Board of Directors Agreement. The number of RSUs will be determined based on the average
closing price of the Company’s common stock over the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding
the applicable grant date. The annual and prorated awards vest in full on December 31 of the applicable calendar year, subject to Ms.
Truss’s continued service through the vesting date. Ms. Truss will also be eligible for reimbursement of reasonable, approved business
expenses and may receive such additional cash compensation as may be authorized by the Compensation Committee from time to time.
There is no arrangement or understanding between
Ms. Truss and any other person pursuant to which she was selected to serve as a director. Ms. Truss does not have any family relationships
with any of the Company’s executive officers or directors, and does not have any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction
or proposed transaction required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
