NTS Acquisition Agreement

 

On August 11, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, PALT Merger Sub 1, Inc., a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger Sub”), PALT Merger Sub 2, LLC, a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Second Merger Sub”), Newtek Technology Solutions, Inc. (“NTS”), and NewtekOne, Inc., the sole stockholder of NTS (“Newtek”), to acquire NTS through a two-step merger process. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, following the receipt of approval by the Company’s stockholders: (i) NTS will merge with and into First Merger Sub, with NTS continuing as the surviving entity (the “Interim Surviving Entity” and such merger, the “First Step Merger”), and (ii) immediately following the consummation of the First Step Merger, the Interim Surviving Entity will merge with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (the “Second Step Merger” and, together with the First Step Merger, the “Mergers”).

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as consideration for the Mergers, the Company agreed to (i) pay Newtek an amount in cash equal to $4,000,000, which is subject to customary purchase price adjustments as set forth in the Merger Agreement, including a working capital adjustment (the “Closing Cash Consideration”) and (ii) issue Newtek 4,000,000 shares (the “Closing Stock Consideration” and together with the Closing Cash Consideration, the “Closing Consideration”) of a newly created series of preferred stock, the Series A Non-Voting Common Equivalent Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). In addition to the Closing Consideration, the Merger Agreement provides that Newtek is entitled to receive an amount up to $5,000,000 (the “Earn-Out Amount”) based on the Company’s achievement certain cumulative average Adjusted EBITDA thresholds for the 2025 and 2026 fiscal years. The Earn-Out Amount may be paid, at the Company’s sole discretion, in cash (the “Earn-Out Cash Consideration”), in shares of Preferred Stock (the “Earn-Out Stock Consideration”) or in a combination thereof. The issuance of the Closing Stock Consideration, the Earn-Out Stock Consideration (if any) and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock is referred to herein as the “Parent Stock Issuance”.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, if the issuance of the Closing Stock Consideration or the Earn-Out Stock Consideration would cause Newtek’s “total equity” (as calculated under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and as implemented and interpreted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) in the Company to exceed 33.33% (the “Total Equity Cap”), then the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable as Closing Stock Consideration and/or Earn-Out Stock Consideration, as applicable, will be adjusted so that the Company will issue Newtek the maximum number of shares of Preferred Stock that would not cause Newtek’s total equity to exceed the Total Equity Cap, with a corresponding increase to the Closing Cash Consideration and the Earn-Out Cash Consideration, as applicable.

 

As a condition to the closing of the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement provides that the Company must effectuate the sale of its Paltalk, Camfrog, and Tinychat applications and all assets and liabilities related to such applications (the “Divestiture Transaction”). Following the Divestiture Transaction, the Company will retain (i) all patents, patent applications, and any rights or causes of action related to such applications, and (ii) any assets (including intellectual property) that are not exclusively related to such applications.

 

In addition, the closing of the Mergers is subject to the satisfaction of various customary closing conditions, including, among others, approval of the Parent Stock Issuance and the Divestiture Transaction by the Company’s stockholders. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and Newtek, on behalf of itself and NTS, including, among other things, if the closing has not occurred prior to February 9, 2025. In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated, neither party thereto will owe a termination fee or otherwise incur a liability to any other party under or relating to the Merger Agreement.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $315,889 and $383,842, respectively, associated with the Mergers.
