Introductory Note

On August 19, 2026 (the “Closing

Date”), reAlpha Tech Corp. (the “Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition of InstaMortgage Inc., a California

corporation (“InstaMortgage”), pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 17, 2026

(the “A&R Merger Agreement”), which was entered into on such date, pursuant to which the Agreement and Plan of Merger,

dated as of December 19, 2025 (the “Original Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, reAlpha Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware

corporation and a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), InstaMortgage, Shashank Shekhar and

Ankur Dhingra (Messrs. Shekhar and Dhingra together, the “Stockholders”), was amended and restated in its entirety. Pursuant

to the terms of the A&R Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into InstaMortgage (the “Merger”), with InstaMortgage

surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As discussed in the Introductory

Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, on August 19, 2026, the Company completed the Merger

pursuant to the A&R Merger Agreement. In connection with the completion of the Merger, the Company and InstaMortgage mutually agreed,

in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, to waive, solely with respect to two outstanding Regulatory Approvals (as defined

in the A&R Merger Agreement), the condition to closing set forth in Section 10.1(e) of the A&R Merger Agreement (the “Waiver”).

Pursuant to the terms of the

A&R Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), by virtue of the Merger and without

any action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub, the Stockholders or InstaMortgage, all shares of InstaMortgage common stock, par value

$0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, were cancelled and extinguished and converted automatically

into the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration (as defined below) at the Effective Time.

Pursuant to the terms and

conditions of the A&R Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Stockholders an aggregate amount of $8,500,000, subject to certain

closing adjustments (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”), consisting of: (i) $500,000 in cash to be paid on the Closing

Date less any applicable withholding tax payable by the Stockholders in accordance with the terms of the A&R Merger Agreement; (ii)

$1,500,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to be issued on

the Closing Date and valued based on the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq

Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”) for the ten (10) consecutive trading day period ending on and including the trading day that

is one (1) trading day prior to the date of the Original Merger Agreement (the “Closing Payment Purchaser Stock”), or 119,903

shares of Common Stock based on a VWAP of $12.51 per share; and (iii) $6,500,000 payable in bi-annual, equal installments over three (3)

years following the Closing Date (the “Bi-Annual Payments”), either in cash or shares of Common Stock (the “Additional

Payment Purchaser Stock,” and together with the Closing Payment Purchaser Stock, the “Purchaser Payment Stock”), at

the Company’s sole discretion; provided, that at least an aggregate of $1,500,000 of such Bi-Annual Payments shall be paid in the

form of cash. The Additional Payment Purchaser Stock to be issued in satisfaction of Bi-Annual Payments, if any, will be valued based

on the VWAP of the Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the date immediately prior to

the date on which such issuance is to be made. The Bi-Annual Payments are payable in six (6) equal bi-annual installments, with the first

installment due on the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, with subsequent installments due on each successive six (6) month

anniversary thereafter, through the thirty-six (36) month anniversary of the Closing Date.

The shares of Common Stock

issuable pursuant to the A&R Merger Agreement, which includes any Additional Payment Purchaser Stock issuable thereunder, are subject

to a restrictive period of six (6) months following their respective issuance dates, during which period each Stockholder will not be

able to dispose, assign, sell and/or transfer such shares. The aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock issuable under the A&R Merger

Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, may in no case (x) exceed

19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of the A&R Merger

Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, or 1,176,267 shares of Common Stock, or (y) cause a Stockholder to be the beneficial

owner of an amount exceeding 4.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to the consummation

of the A&R Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, without stockholder approval of any shares exceeding such amount

or a waiver from Nasdaq.

The foregoing description

of the Merger, the A&R Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is only a summary and does not purport to be a complete

description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of

the A&R Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the

Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 21, 2026, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct

Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information included in the Introductory Note and Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this

Item 2.03 to the extent required.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information included in

Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02 to the extent required.

The Closing Payment Purchaser

Stock was, and any Additional Payment Purchaser Stock issuable pursuant to the A&R Merger Agreement, when and if issued, will be,

as the case may be, issued pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), because such issuances will not involve a public offering, each

of the recipients will take the Purchaser Payment Stock for investment and not for resale, the Company will take appropriate measures

to restrict transfer of the Purchaser Payment Stock, and each recipient is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)

of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Purchaser Payment Stock will be subject to transfer restrictions, and the book-entry

records evidencing the Purchaser Payment Stock will contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities will not be registered

under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Exhibit 99.1

RISK FACTORS

We completed the acquisition of InstaMortgage prior to receiving

certain state regulatory approvals, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

InstaMortgage is a licensed mortgage company in more than 30 states.

A number of these states require the regulatory authority that licenses the mortgage companies it supervises to approve their acquisitions

before they are consummated. We completed the acquisition of InstaMortgage prior to receiving required approvals from regulatory

authorities in two states. The applications for these two approvals remain pending and we continue to work to obtain the required

approvals. These two states accounted for approximately 0.82% and 20.49%, respectively, of InstaMortgage’s loan origination volume

for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and approximately 1.93% and 22.59%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025.

InstaMortgage may cease conducting business in one or both of these states while the approval applications are pending.

There can be no assurance that the regulatory authorities will grant

the requested approvals or, if granted, that such approvals will not be subject to conditions or restrictions. In addition, the regulatory

authorities could determine that consummation of the acquisition prior to receipt of the required approvals did not comply with applicable

law. As a result, we or InstaMortgage could be subject to material fines or penalties, restrictions on InstaMortgage’s ability to

conduct business in one or both of these states or other regulatory or enforcement actions. If we are unable to obtain the required approvals,

or if InstaMortgage is required to limit, suspend or cease operations in one or both of these states, our business, financial condition

and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
