Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Resignation of Former Officer and Director

On February 24, 2023, Ang Woon Han, through written consent signed by him in his capacity of the majority and controlling shareholder of Loqicquest, Inc., now known as Coyni, Inc. (the “Company”) by virtue of his holding of all issued and outstanding Series C Voting Preferred Stock (equivalent to 900,000 shares of common stock for voting purposes) and Series D Voting Preferred Stock (equivalent to 1,877,500 shares of common stock for voting purposes), collectively the “Preferred Shares,” was appointed a director on the Board of Directors. On this same date, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Ang Woon Han to serve as a director, and in consideration thereof, Mr. Han was issued 98,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001.

Mr. Han resigned as a director on April 7, 2023. In his resignation letter, Mr. Han indicated that his resignation was not “…the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or procedures.” The Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of the Company, Cheng Yew Siong, likewise resigned making the same representation as Mr. Han regarding no disagreements with the Company.

On or about April 7, 2023, Mr. Han, as the controlling shareholder of the Company, executed a share purchase agreement for the sale of his 99,457,724 shares of common stock in the Company in a private sales transaction, plus his Preferred Shares, to Ryvyl, Inc., which represented the majority and controlling interest in the Company resulting in a change in control of the Company, as set forth in the Company Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ending March 31, 2023.

Appointment of New Officers and Directors

On April 24, 2023, Ryvyl appointed Ben Errez, Ezra Laniado, and Geneviev Baer to the Board of Directors, and the directors proceeded to appoint Ben Errez and Jasmine Farrington as Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, respectively. These appointments were subsequently certified and confirmed on October 18, 2023, through a shareholder certificate and Board certificate. As of the date of these disclosures, the Board of Directors and officers remain unchanged, and there are no material compensatory arrangements at this time. The Board of Directors have no family relationship disclosable pursuant to Item 401 of Regulation S-K.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On September 11, 2014, as set forth in prior filings, the Company engaged in a change in control event resulting in Mr. Han becoming the majority and controlling shareholder in the Company. Despite customary efforts of the current members of the Board of Directors, and those officers of Ryvyl, as the acquiring party to the controlling interests of the Company (as set forth above), the members of the Board of Directors were not able to obtain minutes or consents from annual meetings for years 2014 through 2022, and other than disclosures from prior filings and representations and warranties from Mr. Han and the Company in the purchase agreement related to Mr. Han’s sale of his controlling interest in the Company to Ryvyl, the Board has no independent knowledge as to whether annual meetings were held, or whether directors appointed at such meetings were voted to the Board or their prior appointments were ratified. The current Board of Directors intends on having its 2023 annual shareholder meeting pursuant to Section 2.3 of its Bylaws prior to the end of 2023, subject to the right of the majority shareholder adjourning the same under the Bylaws.

The current Board of Directors has further discovered that the directors, prior to the change in control identified herein, failed to meet certain corporate formalities under the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) between 2018 and 2023, and more specifically, complying with NRS 78.130, which requires every corporation registered in the State of Nevada must have an appointed president, secretary and treasurer, or the equivalent thereof. The Board of Directors has come to this conclusion based solely on the lack of annual or special Board of Directors’ resolutions appointing such officers during this time period, and the lack of annual reports filed with the State of Nevada during these time periods. Despite such annual reports missing, NRS 78.130 states that the failure to elect officers (if indeed the prior Board of Directors failed to do so) “…does not require the corporation to be dissolved,” thus the Company continued to exist and operate. On April March 23, 2023, the Certificate of Revival of the Company was filed with the State of Nevada listing Mr. Han and Cheng Y Siong as officers and directors (subsequently corrected to reflect Mr. Errez as the authorized officer to file such certificate). On April 24, 2023, following the change in control, the Board of Directors appointed new officers, as set forth above.
