Previous report
If we fail to complete the Divestiture Transaction, our business and financial performance may be adversely affected.
Previous report
The completion of the Divestiture Transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to various conditions, including the negotiation of a definitive agreement with a potential buyer in the timeframe required by the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Divestiture Transaction by our stockholders, either of which may not be satisfied in a timely manner or at all.
Previous report
If the Divestiture Transaction is not completed, we may have difficulty recouping the costs incurred in connection with negotiating the Divestiture Transaction. Our directors, executive officers and other employees will have expended extensive time and effort and will have experienced significant distractions from their work during the pendency of the Divestiture Transaction, and we will have incurred significant third-party transaction costs, in each case, without any commensurate benefit, which may have a material and adverse effect on our stock price and results of operations.
Previous report
Furthermore, if the Divestiture Transaction is not completed, the resulting announcement of the termination of the Merger Agreement may adversely affect our relationships with our users and employees, which could have a material adverse impact on our ability to effectively operate our business, which could have further adverse effects on our business, results of operations and the trading price of our common stock.

Previous wording
On August 11, 2024, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Newtek to acquire NTS through a two-step merger process. The consummation of the Mergers is subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, (i) the Paltalk Stockholder Approval, (ii) the absence of any governmental order enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the performance of the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, (iii) the absence of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) on the Company or NTS, (iv) receipt by Newtek from the Federal Reserve of regulatory approval or a non-objection notice relating to the Mergers and the transactions related thereto, and (v) the completion of the Divestiture Transaction. These closing conditions may not be fulfilled in a timely manner or at all, and, accordingly, the Mergers may not be consummated. Any delay in completing the Mergers could cause us not to realize, or to be delayed in realizing, some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve if the Mergers are successfully consummated within our expected timeframe.

Third parties may be unwilling to enter into material agreements with respect to our business in light of the proposed transactions. In addition, new or existing customers, suppliers and business partners of NTS may prefer to enter into agreements with NTS’ competitors who have not expressed an intention to sell their business because customers, suppliers and business partners may perceive that such new relationships are likely to be more stable. Additionally, our employees may become concerned about the future of our business and NTS and lose focus or seek other employment.

Through the Mergers, we are attempting to enter a new line of business which is highly competitive and regulated.
Current wording
Through the Mergers, we are attempting to enter a new line of business which is highly competitive.
Previous wording
Entering a new line of business has many risks, including obtaining sufficient capital to cover integration expenses and to continue to fund operations until sales are sufficient to fund ongoing operations. A new business line may never generate significant revenues, bring products and services to market or have enough sales to be profitable, as the case may be. With respect to any new line of business, we may have competitors that are better established in the market, have greater experience with such line of business or have greater resources than we do. We anticipate that products and services of NTS will be developed for and distributed to the market, but there can be no guaranty that sufficient revenue to support operations will ever be generated. Furthermore, certain of our current employees may have limited experience with dedicated server hosting, cloud hosting, data storage, managed security, backup and disaster recovery, and other related services and may have limited experience with respect to any other line of business we may enter into as we seek to expand NTS’s operations.

Current wording
We may be the target of securities class action and derivative lawsuits, which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Mergers or the Divestiture from being completed.
Previous wording
Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into acquisition agreements. Defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources, even if the lawsuits are without merit. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting completion of the Mergers, the injunction may delay or prevent the Mergers from being completed, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
