Malta, 02 October 2025:
Reference is made to market announcement published 17 September 2025 and market update published 19 September 2025 by River Tech p.l.c. (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”).
Following the formal notices of termination from the Group’s key client, Tech4S Limited, the Board of Directors and Management have initiated a plan to safeguard shareholder value and secure future revenue growth.
The plan includes the following actions:
1. Acquisition of the assets, business, and employees of MSIPAY Limited
An agreement for the Group to acquire the assets, business, and employees of MSIPAY Limited (“MSIPAY”), a company registered in Malta, was signed by the parties involved on 29 September 2025. Delay of disclosure was decided in accordance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation (MAR), article 17(4).
The transaction presents a significant strategic opportunity that aligns with the Group’s growth objectives in the technology industry and broader payments and KYC technology markets. The product of MSIPAY is a scalable payment and KYC technology platform with strong foundations in digital transactions. The Group has been previously engaged for the technical development of the technological platform for MSIPAY.
The transaction offers both standalone growth potential and significant synergies with the Group’s existing platform, making it a strong deal for the Group and its shareholders.
The net value of the acquisition is estimated to be EUR 359,000. Payment will consist of the Group issuing a waiver of existing debt of EUR 537,916 owed by MSIPAY to the Company’s subsidiary, River Technologies Limited. In addition to the value of the assets acquired, Kahl Holdings Limited, the sole shareholder of MSIPAY, will transfer its complete holding of shares in the Company of 435,540 shares to the Company.
The acquisition is expected to be completed by 31 December 2025, while integration of assets, business, and employees of MSIPAY already has started and will be completed by 31 October 2025.
2. Leveraging three product lines
Following the acquisition of the operations of MSIPAY, the Group can now offer a Payments Aggregator and Orchestrator Platform in addition to the existing technology platform. A third product line, Content Management, is under development and close to completion. The three product lines will improve competitiveness and reduce risk.
3. Secure cashflow and reduce costs
Immediately following the notice of termination from the Group’s key client, Tech4S Limited, Management with support from the Board of Directors initiated measures to cut costs. Redundancies were implemented and the decision was taken to close the office in Poland. The measures will reduce monthly costs by 50 per cent, to less than EUR 250,000 including net costs from the MSIPAY operation, with financial effect from 31 October 2025.
The Group has a free cash balance as per 1 October 2025 of EUR 3.6 million after provisions for redundancy payments.
The final outstanding payment from Tech4S Limited amounts to EUR 2.9 million. The outstanding amount will be settled in October and November with complete settlement by 30 November as per verbal commitment from Tech4S Limited.
Following the actions undertaken and planned, it is the view of the Board of Directors and Management of the Company that the Group is well positioned to leverage its market position and has the financial strength and liquidity to succeed.
The Group will publish the Q3 2025 presentation on 30 October 2025 and will provide an update on the progress of the activities outlined above.
