Over the past several months, RYVYL has methodically advanced its reverse merger with Roundtable. Key steps included rescheduling shareholder meetings, regaining Nasdaq minimum bid compliance, and filing merger documentation such as a Form S-4 and proxy materials. Multiple prior updates reported ~99% of votes cast in favor but short of the outstanding-share threshold. Today’s announcement that shareholders have approved the merger completes the corporate voting process and builds on this sequence of acquisition-related milestones.
