Divestiture Agreement

 

On November 7, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Divestiture Agreement”), by and among the Company, Paltalk Holdings, Inc. (“Paltalk Holdings”), Paltalk Software, Inc. (“Paltalk Software”), Camshare, Inc. (“Camshare”), A.V.M. Software, Inc. (“AVM”), Vumber, LLC (“Vumber” and, collectively with the Company, Paltalk Holdings, Paltalk Software, Camshare, and AVM, the “Sellers,” and each individually, a “Seller”), and Meteor Mobile Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Buyer the Company’s telecommunications services provider, “Vumber”, as well as its “Paltalk” and “Camfrog” applications and certain assets and liabilities related to such services provider and applications (the “Divestiture”). Following the Divestiture, the Company will no longer be engaged in the business of providing video-based, live streaming, virtual camera and telecommunications software to consumers, as and to the extent such businesses are currently conducted by the Company pursuant to the “Vumber,” “Paltalk” and “Camfrog” applications (the “Business”).

 

Pursuant to the Divestiture Agreement, the Buyer agreed to (i) acquire certain assets of the Sellers relating to the “Vumber,” “Paltalk” and “Camfrog” applications, including, among other things, the Sellers’ intellectual property and technology, the rights of the Sellers under certain contracts, all rights to any actions of any nature available to or being pursued by Seller to the extent related to the Business, the Transferred Assets (as defined below) or the assumed liabilities, whether arising by way of counterclaim or otherwise, other than any such action to the extent related to certain excluded assets or excluded liabilities, all of the Sellers’ rights under warranties, indemnities and all similar rights against third parties to the extent related to any Transferred Assets, all rights to insurance proceeds to the extent received or receivable in respect of the Business, the Transferred Assets or the assumed liabilities, all documents that are related to the Business, and all goodwill and the going concern value of the Business, other than certain excluded assets (collectively, the “Transferred Assets”) and (ii) assume all of the liabilities of the Sellers arising out of or relating to the Business or the Transferred Assets other than certain excluded liabilities, in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Divestiture Agreement, for aggregate consideration of $1.35 million (the “Divestiture Closing Consideration”), to be paid by the Buyer to the Company in cash on the closing date of the Divestiture (the “Divestiture Closing”). Pursuant to the Divestiture Agreement, the Sellers will retain all patents and patent applications and any rights or causes of action related to such patents and patent applications (including the Company’s previously disclosed patent litigation against Cisco Systems, Inc.).

 

In addition to the Divestiture Closing Consideration, the Sellers are entitled to receive, with respect to each Earn-Out Period described below, certain payments in cash based on the cash revenue, net of any refunds, received by the Buyer that is attributable to the Business (“Revenue”), as follows:

 

from the six-month period beginning on July 1, 2025 and ending on December 31, 2025 (“Earn-Out Period 1”), an amount equal to (i) for any Revenue greater than or equal to $3,500,000 and less than $4,250,000, the amount of such Revenue multiplied by 0.30 plus (ii) for any Revenue greater than or equal to $4,250,000, the amount of such Revenue in excess of $4,250,000 multiplied by 0.40; and

 

from each of the twelve-month period beginning on January 1, 2026 and ending on December 31, 2026 (“Earn-Out Period 2”), the twelve-month period beginning on January 1, 2027 and ending on December 31, 2027 (“Earn-Out Period 3”), and the twelve-month period beginning on January 1, 2028 and ending on December 31, 2028 (“Earn-Out Period 4” and collectively with Earn-Out Period 1, Earn-Out Period 2 and Earn-Out Period 3, the “Earn-Out Periods”), an amount equal to (i) for any Revenue greater than or equal to $7,000,000 and less than $8,500,000, the amount of such Revenue multiplied by 0.30 plus (ii) for any Revenue greater than or equal to $8,500,000, the amount of such Revenue in excess of $8,500,000 multiplied by 0.40 (the aggregate amount, if any, earned during the Earn-Out Periods, the “Divestiture Earn-Out Amount”).

 

In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Divestiture Agreement) of the Buyer during any of the Earn-Out Periods, the Company is entitled to receive an acceleration payment in cash, net of any Divestiture Earn-Out Amounts previously paid to the Company (the “Acceleration Payment”). If any of the Transferred Assets are sold independently from the other assets of the Buyer, the Company will be entitled to (i) 50% of the aggregate consideration paid to the Buyer for the Transferred Assets minus (ii) the aggregate amount of any Divestiture Earn-Out Amounts received by the Sellers by the date of the Change of Control, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of any Acceleration Payments previously paid through such date. If any of the Transferred Assets are sold contemporaneously with other assets of the Buyer, the Company is entitled to (x) the aggregate consideration paid to Buyer for the Transferred Assets multiplied by the ratio of the trailing 12-month EBITDA of the Transferred Assets sold and the EBITDA of all assets sold minus (y) the aggregate amount of any Divestiture Earn-Out Amounts received by the Sellers by the date of the Change of Control, minus (z) the aggregate amount of any Acceleration Payments previously paid through such date. The minimum Acceleration Payment for the sale of “Paltalk,” “Camfrog” and “Vumber” is $1,650,000, $450,000 and $300,000, respectively, and the aggregate Acceleration Payment payable to the Company is capped at $5,000,000.

 

As a condition to the Divestiture Closing, the Divestiture Agreement provides that all conditions to closing the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement must have been satisfied or waived, and the parties to the Merger Agreement stand ready, willing and able to close the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, subject only to the closing of the transactions contemplated by Divestiture Agreement. In addition, as a condition to the Divestiture Closing, the Sellers and the Buyers must negotiate and enter into a patent license agreement that will provide the Buyer with certain rights related to the patent used in connection with the “Vumber” application. The Divestiture Closing is also subject to the satisfaction of various customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) the absence of any governmental order enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the performance of the Divestiture Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) the absence of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Divestiture Agreement) on the Sellers or the Buyer.

 

The Divestiture Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Sellers and the Buyer, including, among other things, if the Divestiture Closing has not occurred prior to March 11, 2025. In the event that the Company terminates the Divestiture Agreement due to the parties to the Merger Agreement not having satisfied or waived all conditions to the closing of the Merger, the Company is required to pay the Buyer up to $50,000 in actual out of pocket fees incurred in connection with the Divestiture Agreement.

 

The Divestiture Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants from Sellers and the Buyer.
