Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac shares tumble after conservatorship comments
RYVYL Inc. (NASDAQ:RVYL), a management consulting services firm currently valued at $7.47 million, has disclosed in a regulatory filing that it did not exercise its right to terminate a previously announced stock purchase agreement (SPA) by the prescribed deadline. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company appears undervalued at its current price of $0.89 per share. The SPA, dated January 23, 2025, involved the sale of Ryvyl (EU) EAD, the company’s Bulgarian subsidiary, to an undisclosed purchaser for $15 million.
The company had the option, under a Termination Agreement, to cancel the SPA by paying the purchaser $16.5 million before the 90th day following the agreement’s execution, which was April 23, 2025. This deadline could have been extended by an additional 30 days to May 23, 2025, for an additional payment of $500,000. InvestingPro data shows the company faces financial challenges with negative EBITDA of $7.28 million in the last twelve months.
Furthermore, a Modification Agreement dated April 23, 2025, stipulated that the purchaser would not close the sale before May 6, 2025, allowing time for the parties to consider alternative transactions. RYVYL Inc. had the opportunity to extend this period to May 27, 2025, by paying the purchaser $750,000.
However, on May 7, 2025, the purchaser notified RYVYL Inc. that since the company did not terminate the SPA or extend the standstill period, the purchaser is not obligated to refrain from closing the sale. Despite this, the purchaser has voluntarily agreed not to finalize the purchase for ten days until May 16, 2025, allowing for ongoing discussions between the parties.
The information is based on a press release statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Meanwhile, the company is negotiating terms for a $15 million asset sale of its European subsidiary, with the standstill agreement in effect until May 2025. During this period, RYVYL retains the option to terminate the sale by paying $16.5 million, keeping the shares in escrow.

Wainwright have maintained a Neutral rating on RYVYL, noting the company’s recent revenue outlook and its potential for growth in Europe. Despite some revenue inconsistencies, especially in North America, the firm’s European operations show promising growth prospects.
