Acquisition of NTS

 

On January 2, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of Newtek Technology Solutions, Inc., a New York corporation (“NTS”), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Acquisition Agreement”), dated August 11, 2024, by and among the Company, PALT Merger Sub 1, Inc., a New York corporation and a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger Sub”), PALT Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Second Merger Sub”), NTS and NewtekOne, Inc., a Maryland corporation and the sole stockholder of NTS (“Newtek”. Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, on the Closing Date: (i) NTS merged 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 merged with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Step Merger” and, together with the First Step Merger, the “Acquisition”), with the Second Merger Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Following the closing of the Acquisition (the “Acquisition Closing”), the Company changed its name from “Paltalk, Inc.” to “Intelligent Protection Management Corp.”

 

The aggregate consideration delivered by the Company to Newtek at the Acquisition Closing consisted of (i) $4,000,000 in cash (as adjusted pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the “Acquisition Closing Cash Consideration”) and (ii) 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Non-Voting Common Equivalent Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock” and such shares issued at the Acquisition Closing, the “Acquisition Closing Stock Consideration” and together with the Acquisition Closing Cash Consideration, the “Acquisition Closing Consideration”). The Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments), upon the occurrence of certain qualifying transfers by Newtek to third parties. In addition to the Acquisition Closing Consideration, Newtek is entitled to earn-out payments under certain circumstances. For more information, see the Note 3, “Acquisition” below. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company incurred professional fees of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses.

On the Closing Date and prior to the Acquisition Closing, the Company completed the sale to Meteor Mobile Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Meteor Mobile”), of its 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 “Transferred Assets,” and such sale, the “Divestiture,” and, together with the Acquisition, the “Transactions”) pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated November 7, 2024, by and among the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries Paltalk Holdings, Inc., Paltalk Software, Inc., Camshare, Inc., A.V.M.

As a result of the Divestiture, the Company is no longer engaged in the business of providing video-based, live streaming, virtual camera and telecommunications software to consumers, as and to the extent such businesses were previously conducted by the Company pursuant to the “Vumber,” “Paltalk” and “Camfrog” applications. In addition, prior to the Acquisition Closing, the Company ceased all operations of its “Tinychat” service and application. The consideration delivered by Meteor Mobile to the Company at the closing of the Divestiture consisted of (i) $1,350,000 in cash and (ii) the assumption of all of the liabilities of the Sellers arising out of, or relating to, the Business or the Transferred Assets, other than certain excluded liabilities (the “Divestiture Closing Consideration”). In connection with the Divestiture, the Company is entitled to earn-out payments under certain circumstances. For more information, see the Note 6, “Discontinued Operations” below.

Discontinued Operations

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Transferred Assets met the criteria for classification as assets held for sale and discontinued operations as the Company received stockholder approval of the sale of its Transferred Assets at its special meeting of stockholders held on December 30, 2024. As such, assets and liabilities related to the Transferred Assets are presented as held for sale/discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 and the results of operations are presented as discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024. On January 2, 2025, the Company completed the Divestiture as described above.
