Jason Katz, Paltalk’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Today marks a transformational milestone for the Company. With the Acquisition of NTS now complete, we expect that NTS will have an immediate and meaningful impact on our revenue, since NTS’s revenue in 2023 was approximately three times greater than Paltalk’s 2023 revenue. We look forward to entering the cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity sectors and serving our new customers, including NewtekOne. Our strategic focus on technology and our experienced management team form the foundation for us to achieve greater scale and reach to deliver the best service to our customers and value to our stockholders.” Mr. Katz continued, “I would like to welcome the NTS employees to our team. Together, I am confident we can continue to optimize our strategies and cross-selling efforts of our products to offer effective technology solutions to our customers and position our Company for long-term success.” Advisors Haynes and Boone, LLP served as legal counsel to Paltalk, Inc.  Sullivan & Cromwell LLP served as legal counsel to NewtekOne, Inc.
