On August 13, 2024, Paltalk, Inc.

Excerpts from the transcript of the Earnings Call containing information relating to the Company's 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") can be found below:

Jason Katz - Paltalk, Inc. - Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

"We are very pleased to announce that we entered into an agreement to acquire Newtek Technology Solutions, Inc. ("NTS") a wholly owned subsidiary of NewtekOne, Inc. NTS provides dedicated server hosting, cloud hosting, managed security, and other related services including consulting and implementing technology solutions for enterprise and commercial clients across the U.S. This is a transformational acquisition for Paltalk that we believe will provide excellent value for our stockholders. We expect that the acquisition, once completed, will have an immediate and meaningful impact on our revenue, since NTS' revenue in 2023 was approximately three times greater than Paltalk's 2023 revenue. We also expect the acquisition to provide enhanced opportunities for future growth and optimization. We are extremely excited to enter the cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity sectors with the acquisition of a business we deem ripe for growth both organically and through potential accretive acquisitions in the future. Given our management team's extensive technology expertise that has been demonstrated throughout the years, we are confident in our ability to integrate, operate and grow this business and enhance stockholder value.

Now on to our second quarter results..."
