MERGER

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of August 17, 2026, is made by and among (a) InstaMortgage

Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”) with California entity number 3096489, (b) Shashank Shekhar, an

individual with an address at [Intentionally Omitted] (“Shekhar”) and Ankur Dhingra, an individual with an address

at [Intentionally Omitted] (“Dhingra”, and together with Shekhar, “Stockholders”), (c) reAlpha Merger

Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and (d) reAlpha Tech Corp., a Delaware corporation and the

parent of Merger Sub (“Purchaser”). The Company, the Stockholders, Merger Sub, and Purchaser are collectively referred

WHEREAS, Shekhar owns ninety-two

and one half percent (92.5%) of the Company Shares, and Dhingra owns seven and one half percent (7.5%) of the Company Shares (each, an

“Allocated Share”);

WHEREAS, the Parties hereto

desire to effect the acquisition of the Company by Purchaser through the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company

continuing as the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions

set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”)

and, to the extent applicable, the California Corporations Code (“CCC”);

WHEREAS, the respective Boards

of Directors of Merger Sub and Purchaser, the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, have (i) determined that it is in the best interests of

Merger Sub and Purchaser, and declared it advisable, to enter into this Agreement, and (ii) approved the execution, delivery and performance

of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors

of the Company has (i) determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Stockholders, and declared it advisable, to

enter into this Agreement, (ii) approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions

contemplated hereby, and (iii) resolved to recommend that the Stockholders adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger;

WHEREAS, contemporaneously

with the execution and delivery of the Original Agreement (hereinafter defined), and as a condition and inducement to Purchaser’s

willingness to enter into the Original Agreement, Shekhar executed and delivered to Purchaser an employment offer letter that describes,

among other matters, the terms of such Stockholder’s employment with Purchaser or Surviving Corporation, as applicable, following

Closing (the “Employment Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Parties previously

entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Original Agreement”), dated as of December 19, 2025 (the

“Original Signing Date”); and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire

to amend and restate the Original Agreement in its entirety.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration

of the mutual covenants, agreements and understandings herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,

the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Merger

1.1 Merger. Pursuant

to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the CCC and the DGCL, at the Effective

Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease and

the Company will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger. The corporation surviving the Merger is sometimes hereinafter referred

to as the “Surviving Corporation”.

1.2 Effective Time. Contemporaneously with, or as promptly as practicable after the Closing on the Closing Date,

Purchaser, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause a certificate of merger mutually approved by the Parties (the

“Certificate of Merger”) to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the

relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings required under the CCC and the DGCL (collectively, the

“Required Filings”). The Merger shall become effective as prescribed by law (the time at which the Merger becomes

effective is herein referred to as the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effects of the

Merger. The Merger shall, from and after the Effective Time, have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable

provisions of the CCC and the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time,

all the properties, rights, privileges and powers of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all

debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving

Corporation.

ARTICLE II

Treatment of Equity Interests

2.1 Treatment

of Capital Stock and Other Securities in the Merger. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the

part of Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company or any Stockholder:

(a)

Effect on Company Common Stock. All shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective

Time shall be cancelled and extinguished and converted automatically into the right to receive at the Effective Time the portion of the

cash and Purchaser Common Stock constituting the Aggregate Merger Consideration issuable to such Stockholder in respect of such shares

of Company Common Stock, as set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on the Allocation Schedule, as prepared in accordance with

this Agreement and provided at the Closing. Each share of Company Common Stock shall be treated the same for purposes of this Section

2.1(a). As of the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled

and shall cease to exist and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the consideration issuable in accordance with this Section

2.1.

-2-

(b) Effect

on Merger Sub Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued

and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into and become one (1) fully paid and nonassessable

share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding share of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) No

Interest. No interest will be paid or accrued, and no Stockholder shall be entitled to receive, any interest upon surrender of any

Shares.

2.2 Adjustments.

Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if, at any time during the period between the Original Signing Date and the Effective

Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur, including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization,

stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or distribution

paid in stock, the Aggregate Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted

to reflect such change.

2.3 Allocation Schedule.

The Parties shall mutually agree upon the form of a schedule that sets forth the following, in each case, calculated in accordance with

this Agreement (the “Allocation Schedule”), with respect to each Stockholder: (A) the name and email address

of each Stockholder; (B) the number of Allocated Shares held by such Stockholder; (C) the amount of cash payable and the number

of shares of Purchaser Common Stock issuable to each Stockholder; and (D) the Pro Rata Percentage of each Stockholder.

2.4 Fractional

Shares; Payments. No fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger. Any Stockholder who would

otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock shall instead be entitled to receive an amount of cash

equal to the fair value of fractions of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive those fractions are

determined.

2.5 Purchaser

Common Stock Cap Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, under no circumstances shall the aggregate

number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock issuable under this Agreement in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated

herein, and any other shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued by Purchaser, if any, which could be aggregated with the shares of

Purchaser Common Stock in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated herein under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, (x) exceed

19.99% of Purchaser’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately before consummation of this Agreement and any other

transactions being consummated by Purchaser in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated herein or (y) cause a Stockholder

to be the beneficial owner of an amount exceeding 4.99% of Purchaser’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately

before consummation of this Agreement and any other transactions being consummated by Purchaser in connection with the Merger and the

transactions contemplated herein (each, a “Cap Amount”), unless Purchaser has obtained either (i) its stockholders’

approval of the issuance of more shares of Purchaser Common Stock than the Cap Amount as required by the applicable Nasdaq rules, including

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635; or (ii) a waiver from Nasdaq of Purchaser’s compliance with the applicable Nasdaq rules, including Nasdaq

Listing Rule 5635. To the extent that the issuance of shares of Purchaser Common Stock under this Agreement would cause the shares of

Purchaser Common Stock issuable herein to exceed the Cap Amount, Purchaser, in lieu of issuing such shares of Purchaser Common Stock,

shall pay each Stockholder an amount in cash equal to (x) the aggregate number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock that exceed the Cap

Amount times (y) the VWAP of shares of Purchaser Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the date immediately

prior to the date on which such shares of Purchaser Common Stock are due.

be offered, sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise transferred unless (i) a registration statement with respect thereto is effective

under the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws or (ii) an exemption from such registration exists and Purchaser receives

compliance with the restrictions imposed by this Agreement, Purchaser may issue appropriate “stop-transfer” instructions to

its transfer agent. Purchaser shall not be required (a) to transfer on its books any shares of Purchaser Common Stock that have been

offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (b) to treat as owner

Act, and (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of Purchaser, and such other reports and documents so filed as such

the Parties shall keep each other reasonably apprised and promptly and reasonably consult with one another with respect to the matters

described in this Section 8.6(b).

(c) Until

the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article XII, neither Party shall, nor shall any Party cause

its Subsidiaries (if applicable) and Affiliates to, undertake any act or omission, or enter into or consummate any transaction, agreement,

arrangement, or acquisition of any ownership interest, rights or assets of any Person, that would reasonably be expected to prevent Purchaser

and the Company from obtaining any required approvals (including, without limitation, Regulatory Approvals).

8.7 Public

Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or stock exchange requirements (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel),

no party to this Agreement shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or

otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably

withheld, conditioned or delayed), and the Parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement.

ARTICLE IX

Tax Matters

9.1 Certain

Tax Matters.

(a) Responsibility

for Filing Tax Returns.

(i) Purchaser

will prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed all Tax Returns for the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods that are filed

after the Closing Date (the “Purchaser Prepared Returns”). All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent

with the past practices of the Company, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Purchaser shall provide the Stockholders with

completed drafts of each such Purchaser Prepared Return (A) that is an income Tax Return at least thirty (30) days prior to the due

date for filing thereof and (B) in the case of any other material Tax Return that shows an amount that the Stockholders are responsible

for pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable prior to the due date of such Tax Return (taking into account

applicable extensions), and Purchaser shall consider in good faith such revisions as are reasonably requested by the Stockholders prior

to filing such Purchaser Prepared Returns. The Stockholders shall pay to Purchaser those Taxes shown on any Purchaser Prepared Return

(and with respect to any Purchaser Prepared Return for any Straddle Period allocated to the Stockholders in a manner consistent with Section

9.1(b)) no later than five (5) Business Days before Purchaser is required to file such Purchaser Prepared Returns with the applicable

Tax Authority (taking into account any extensions timely filed by the Company), except to the extent the amount of any such Taxes was

included in the calculation of Indebtedness, as finally determined.

(ii) The

Parties shall, to the extent permitted or required under applicable Law, treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable period

of the Company for all Tax purposes, and Purchaser shall cause the Company to join Purchaser’s “consolidated group”

(as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-1(h) and more thoroughly set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76 or similar

provisions of U.S. state, local or non-U.S. Law) effective on the date after the Closing Date.

(b) Allocation

of Liability for Taxes. In the case of any Taxes that are attributable to a Straddle Period, the amount of Taxes of the Company attributable

to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined as follows:

(i) in

the case of any Taxes of the Company based upon or related to income, receipts or payroll (including withholding), the portion attributable

to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined on the basis of an interim closing of the books of the Company as of the Closing Date,

and the determination of the hypothetical Tax for such Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined on the basis of such interim closing

of the books (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership, controlled foreign corporation, or other pass-through entity

in which the Company holds a beneficial interest (if any) shall be deemed to terminate at such time); and

(ii) in

the case of any other Taxes of the Company, the portion attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be the amount of such Taxes for

the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the

denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period.

-28-

(c) Tax

Proceedings.

(i) Notice.

Purchaser shall promptly notify the Stockholders in writing upon Purchaser’s or the Company’s receipt, of notice from any

Tax Authority of the commencement of any Tax Proceeding relating to any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date. Any failure

to so notify the Stockholders of any Tax Proceeding shall not relieve the Stockholders of any liability with respect to such Tax Proceeding,

except to the extent that such failure shall have materially prejudiced the defense of such Tax Proceeding.

(ii) Control.

(A) The

Stockholders shall have control over the conduct of any Tax Proceedings with respect to income Taxes of the Company for any taxable period

ending on or prior to the Closing Date; provided, that (1) the Stockholders shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed of all material

developments with respect to any such Tax Proceeding on a timely basis, shall provide to Purchaser copies of any and all correspondence

received from the Tax Authority related to such Tax Proceeding and shall provide Purchaser with the opportunity, at Purchaser’s

cost, to attend conferences, hearings and other meetings with or involving the Tax Authority and to review and provide comments with respect

to written responses provided to the Tax Authority with respect to such Tax Proceeding and (2) the Stockholders shall not compromise,

settle or otherwise resolve any such Tax Proceeding without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably

withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(B) Purchaser

shall have control over the conduct of all other Tax Proceedings (including Tax Proceedings for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that the Stockholders

declines to control under Section 9.1(c)(ii)(A) and including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Straddle Period); provided,

that (1) the Stockholders shall have the right, at their expense, to participate in any such Tax Proceeding and to employ counsel of the

Stockholders’ choice for purposes of such participation to the extent that any such Tax Proceeding could reasonably be expected

to result in an indemnity payment by the Stockholders hereunder and (2) in the event that Purchaser proposes to compromise, settle or

otherwise resolve any Tax Proceeding or agree to any Tax liability relating to the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Stockholders

shall have the right to review such proposed compromise, settlement, resolution, consent or agreement. Without the prior written consent

of the Stockholders, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Purchaser shall not agree or consent to compromise,

settle or otherwise resolve any issue or claim arising in any such Tax Proceeding or otherwise agree or consent to any Tax liability,

to the extent that any such compromise, settlement, resolution, consent or agreement could reasonably be expected to result in an indemnity

payment by the Stockholders hereunder.

(iii) To

the extent that control or settlement rights with respect to a Tax Proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) may overlap with

any other control or settlement right under Article VI, the provisions of this Section 9.1(c) shall govern such Tax Proceeding

control or settlement right.

-29-

(d) Cooperation.

Purchaser, the Stockholders, and the Company shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Parties, in

connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 9.1 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect

to Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s

request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and

making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

The Company shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Periods

and shall abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority, and shall give the Stockholders reasonable written

notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of

limitations for that taxable period, and if the Stockholders so requests, Purchaser or the Company having possession of such records shall

allow the Stockholders to take possession of such books and records rather than destroying or discarding such books and records.

(e) Transfer

Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges

and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated

by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid equally by the Stockholders and Purchaser when due,

and the Stockholders will, at the equal expense of the Stockholders and Purchaser, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation

with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable Law, the Stockholders will join in the execution of any

such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(f) Post-Closing

Actions. With respect to jurisdictions in which the Company has not previously filed Tax Returns or established a nexus on or prior

to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit the Company to (i) file Tax Returns for the Company with respect to a Pre-Closing

Tax Period in such jurisdiction; (ii) initiate discussions or examinations with any Tax authority regarding Taxes for the Company with

respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period in such jurisdiction; (iii) make any voluntary disclosures with respect to Taxes for a Pre-Closing

Tax Period of the Company in such jurisdiction; (v) take any action that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to

be treated in any way other than the Intended Tax Treatment, in each case if such action could reasonably be expected to give rise to

or increase any Tax for which the Stockholders would be liable, in each case, without the prior written consent of Stockholders (not to

be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(g) Refunds.

Any refunds (or credits for overpayment) of Taxes, including any interest received from a Tax authority, attributable to any Pre-Closing

Tax Period of the Company and which are received by Purchaser or the Company on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date

shall be for the account of the Stockholders, net of any Taxes and any reasonable out-of-pocket costs of the Purchaser or the Company

incurred in connection with obtaining such refund, in each case, except to the extent such Tax refunds or credits result from or are attributable

to the carryback of any loss or credit arising in any period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date. No later than five

Business Days following the Company’s receipt of any such refund (or credit for overpayment), Purchaser shall pay over to the Stockholders

for further distribution to the Stockholders the amount of any such refund (or the amount of any such credit), net of any Taxes and any

reasonable out-of-pocket costs of the Purchaser or the Company incurred in connection with obtaining such refund, including any interest

thereon. If Purchaser, the Company or their Affiliates are required to repay any such refund or credit and any interest thereon to the

applicable Governmental Authority, the Stockholders shall promptly pay the amount of such refund or credit (and any interest thereon and

any costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser, the Company or their Affiliates in connection therewith) to Purchaser within ten (10) days

of the receipt of notice from Purchaser. For purposes of this Agreement, a refund shall only be treated as received when the refund is

received in cash, and a credit shall only be treated as received when such credit is used to reduce a Tax liability that otherwise would

be due in cash without regard to the applicable credit.

-30-

(h) Transaction

Expenses. For all applicable U.S. federal, state, and local income Tax purposes, the Parties agree that all deductions relating to

Selling Expenses shall, without duplication, be reported in a Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent deductible in such period at a standard

of “more likely than not” or higher, and shall be for the benefit of the Company

(i) Employee

Retention Credit. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Stockholders are solely entitled to the payment of any employee retention

credit (“ERC”) received by the Company (including by the Surviving Corporation), whether before or after the Closing

Date. If any ERC is paid after the Original Signing Date, but prior to the Closing, the Company shall be entitled to distribute such

payment to the Stockholders on a pro rata basis. If any ERC is paid after the Closing, and the Purchaser shall promptly pay the full amount

of the ERC received (or cause the full amount of the ERC received to be paid) to the Stockholders, in immediately available funds, on

a pro rata basis (as based on the Stockholders’ previously-held Allocated Shares). No ERC payment shall constitute, reduce, or otherwise

affect the Aggregate Merger Consideration, nor be subject to any right of setoff. The Stockholders shall be entitled to directly communicate

with the IRS regarding any ERC, without providing any notice or obtaining any consent of Purchaser or any other person, whether before

or after the Closing Date. This subsection (i) shall survive the Closing.

9.2 Employee

Benefit Arrangements.

(a) Purchaser

shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause service rendered by Employees to the Company prior to the Effective Time to

be taken into account for all purposes under all employee benefit plans of Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation, to the same extent

as such service was taken into account under the corresponding Company Employee Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time for those

purposes; provided, that the foregoing will not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits

with respect to the same period of service. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the

Surviving Corporation not to, subject Employees to any eligibility requirements, waiting periods, actively-at-work requirements, evidence

of insurability requirements or pre-existing condition limitations under any employee benefit plan of Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation

for any condition for which they would have been entitled to coverage under the corresponding Company Employee Plan in which they participated

prior to the Effective Time. Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to give such Employees credit under such employee

benefit plans for any eligible expenses incurred by such Employees and their covered dependents under a Company Employee Plan during the

portion of the year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying all co-payment, co-insurance, deductibles, maximum out-of-pocket

requirements, and other out-of-pocket expenses applicable to such Employees and their covered dependents in respect of the plan year in

which the Effective Time occurs to the same extent as if such credit was given under the corresponding Company Employee Plan immediately

prior to the Effective Time.

-31-

(b) The

provisions contained in this Section 9.2 are for the sole benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and nothing set forth in this

Section 9.2 will (i) confer any rights or remedies, including any third-party beneficiary rights, upon any employee or former employee

of the Company, any Employee or upon any other Person other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, or shall

interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Purchaser, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the

services of any Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause; (ii) be construed to establish, amend, or modify

any Company Employee Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement or (iii) subject to compliance with the other provisions

of this Section 9.2, alter or limit Purchaser’s or the Company’s ability to amend, modify or terminate any specific

benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time.

9.3 Tax

Indemnification. Stockholders shall jointly indemnify the Company, Purchaser, and each Purchaser Indemnitee and hold them harmless

from and against (a) any Loss attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made in Section 5.17;

(b) any Loss attributable to any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking, or obligation

in ARTICLE IX; (c) all Taxes of the Company or relating to the business of the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (as defined below);

(d) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor of the

Company) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any

comparable provisions of foreign, state, or local Law; and (e) any and all Taxes of any Person imposed on the Company arising under the

principles of transferee or successor liability or by contract, relating to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date.

In each of the above cases, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees)

incurred in connection therewith, Stockholders shall jointly reimburse Purchaser for any Taxes of the Company that are the responsibility

of Stockholders pursuant to this Section 9.3 within ten (10) business days after payment of such Taxes by Purchaser, the Company.

9.4 Assistance

with Purchaser SEC Filings.

(a) From

and after the Original Signing Date and until the completion of all applicable public disclosures and filings required under the Securities Act

or the Exchange Act, in connection with, or as a result of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any current reports

on Form 8-K, or other filings), the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and its

Representatives in the preparation of all of the Purchaser’s filings with the SEC, submissions to Nasdaq and all other public and

disclosure requirements of Purchaser under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

-32-

(b) Such

cooperation shall include (a) furnishing Purchaser with all information concerning the Company that is required or reasonably requested

for inclusion in any such filing or submission, (b) providing access to the Company’s financial statements and other relevant records

and personnel, including its auditors, as needed in connection with any such filing or submission, and (c) assisting with the preparation

of any required historical financial statements or pro forma financial information, including obtaining consents from the Company’s

independent accountants, if applicable.

(c) The

Company shall ensure that all information provided pursuant to this Section 9.4 is, to the Knowledge of the Company and its Representatives,

including the Stockholders, accurate and complete in all material respects and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact

or omit to state any material fact required to make such information not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such information

is provided.

9.5 Survival.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Section 5.17 and ARTICLE IX shall survive for

the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation, or extension thereof) or until the

expiration of the period in which any regulatory authority has the power to make any claims, assessment or reassessment with respect

thereto, whichever is longer, plus ninety (90) days.

Fundamental Representations shall survive indefinitely. All covenants and agreements of the Parties contained herein (other than any covenants

or agreements contained in Section 5.17, which are subject to ARTICLE IX) shall survive the Closing indefinitely or for the

by Stockholders. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE XI, from and after Closing, the Stockholders, severally

and not jointly (in accordance with their Allocated Shares), shall indemnify and defend each of Purchaser and its Affiliates (including

-36-

11.4 Indemnification

Procedures. The party making a claim under this ARTICLE XI is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against

whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE XI is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. For purposes of this ARTICLE

XI, (i) if Purchaser (or any other Purchaser Indemnitee) comprises the Indemnified Party, any references to Indemnifying Party (except

provisions relating to an obligation to make payments) shall be deemed to refer to the Stockholders, and (ii) if Purchaser comprises the

Indemnifying Party, any references to the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to refer to the Stockholders.

(a) Third-Party

Claims. If a Proceeding is initiated by any Third Party (a “Third Party Claim”) against any Person entitled to

seek indemnification under this ARTICLE XI (an “Indemnified Party”), and if such Indemnified Party intends to

seek indemnification with respect thereto under this ARTICLE XI, such Indemnified Party shall promptly after receipt of written

notice of such Proceeding, provide written notice of such Proceeding to the party or parties from whom the Indemnified Party intends to

seek indemnification from (the “Responsible Party”), which notice shall describe such Proceeding in reasonable detail

and the estimated amount thereof (to the extent reasonably practicable) and the basis upon which the Indemnified Party intends to seek

indemnification; provided, that the failure to so notify a Responsible Party shall not relieve such Responsible Party of its obligations

hereunder unless and to the extent the Responsible Party shall be actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to so notify. A Responsible

Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Proceeding giving rise to an Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification

at such Responsible Party’s expense, and at its option (subject to the limitations set forth below) shall be entitled to assume

the defense thereof by appointing a reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to be the lead counsel in connection

with such defense within thirty (30) days of the Responsible Party’s receipt of notice of the Proceeding; provided, that

prior to the Responsible Party assuming control of such defense, it shall (a) demonstrate to the Indemnified Party in writing such

Responsible Party’s financial ability to provide full indemnification to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Proceeding (including

the ability to post any bond required by the court or adjudicative body before which such Proceeding is taking place), and (b) agree

in writing to be fully responsible for all Losses relating to such Proceeding; provided, further, that:

(i) the

Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose at

its own expense;

(ii) the

Responsible Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (i) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises

in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) the Indemnified

Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Proceeding giving rise to such claim for indemnification would

be materially detrimental to or materially injure the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects, (iii) such

claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (iv) a conflict of interest exists between the Responsible

Party and the Indemnified Party, (v) subject to Section 9.1(c), the claim for indemnification is with respect to Taxes, (vi) the

Responsible Party failed or is failing to prosecute or defend such claim in a commercially reasonable manner, (vii) the Indemnified Party

reasonably believes that the Responsible Party lacks the financial recourses to satisfy any Losses relating to the claim, (viii) the Indemnified

Party reasonably believes that the Loss relating to the claim could exceed the maximum amount that such Indemnified Party could then be

entitled to recover under the applicable provisions of Section 11.2 or (ix) such claim involves a current or former customer, supplier,

employee or contractor of Purchaser, the Company or any of their Affiliates; and

-37-

(iii) if

the Responsible Party shall control the defense of any such claim, the Responsible Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the

Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of a Proceeding or ceasing to defend such Proceeding if, pursuant to, or as a result

of, such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnified Party or if such settlement

does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations with respect to the claim that

gave rise to the Proceeding.

(b) Direct

Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss that does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct

Exhibit 99.1

reAlpha (NASDAQ: AIRE) Completes InstaMortgage

Acquisition, Adding Direct Lending Capabilities to Company’s Integrated Platform

Acquisition adds multi-state direct lending

with in-house underwriting and funding, expanding reAlpha’s integrated mortgage platform across 38 states and Washington, D.C.

DUBLIN, Ohio, August 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)

– reAlpha Tech Corp. (Nasdaq: AIRE) (the “Company” or “reAlpha”), an AI-powered real estate technology

company, today announced it has completed its acquisition of InstaMortgage Inc., a multi-state mortgage lender with in-house underwriting

and funding capabilities, on August 19, 2026.

The transaction brings direct lending into reAlpha’s

platform and marks a significant step in the Company’s effort to create an end-to-end homebuying experience. By bringing lending

capabilities in-house, reAlpha believes it may gain greater control over execution while expanding its ability to serve homebuyers through

both mortgage brokerage and direct-lending models.

Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Merger

Agreement, reAlpha acquired all outstanding shares of InstaMortgage for aggregate consideration of approximately $8.5 million, subject

to certain closing adjustments. The consideration consists of $0.5 million in cash, $1.5 million in reAlpha common stock issued at closing,

and up to $6.5 million in deferred consideration payable in semi-annual installments over three years following closing, in cash or shares

of reAlpha common stock at the Company’s election, provided that at least $1.5 million of such deferred consideration must be paid

in cash.

“We have completed the InstaMortgage acquisition,”

said Mike Logozzo, Chief Executive Officer of reAlpha. “reAlpha is now able to originate, underwrite and fund mortgages in-house,

across 38 states and Washington, D.C. We believe homebuying improves when brokerage, lending and title operate as one system rather than

three. Lending was the piece we handed to partners, and it now runs inside the platform.”

Founded in 2008, InstaMortgage has built a full-cycle

lending operation spanning origination, underwriting, funding and loan sale. Following the acquisition, reAlpha’s integrated mortgage

platform, comprising reAlpha Mortgage and InstaMortgage, provides coverage across 38 states and Washington, D.C.

“Over the last eighteen years, we have built

InstaMortgage to operate as a full-cycle lending business, supported by the licensing, capital relationships, operating infrastructure

and team required to execute across the lifecycle of a loan,” said Shashank Shekhar, Chief Executive Officer of InstaMortgage. “What

makes this combination compelling is that our lending capabilities and infrastructure, developed over more than a decade, now become part

of a platform designed to simplify the broader homebuying journey.”

“I want to thank the teams at reAlpha and

InstaMortgage whose work made this closing possible,” Mr. Logozzo added. “This transaction gives reAlpha more than additional

scale. It adds capabilities and economics that fit directly into the platform we have been building. Our responsibility now is to integrate

those businesses well, execute with discipline and turn that stronger foundation into lasting value for customers and stockholders.”

After receiving the other required state

approvals, reAlpha and InstaMortgage mutually agreed, in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, to

waive the closing condition relating to two outstanding regulatory approvals to allow the Company to begin integrating InstaMortgage

and realizing the broader strategic and operational benefits of the acquisition without further delay. The outstanding approvals

relate to two states that 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.

For more information on the closing of this acquisition,

please refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K that is expected to be filed with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)

within four business days of such closing. Additionally, within 71 days after the date that such Current Report on Form 8-K is required

to be filed with the SEC, the Company will file with the SEC an amendment to such Current Report on Form 8-K that includes the required

audited financial statements and pro forma financial information pursuant to applicable SEC regulations.
