Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) reflects changes to the information in the Schedule 13D relating to the Common Stock of the Issuer filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on October 17, 2016 (the “Schedule 13D”). Each capitalized term used and not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.
On August 2, 2021, the Issuer entered into an underwriting agreement with Maxim Group LLC, as representative of the underwriters (the “Underwriter”), relating to a firm commitment underwritten offering of 1,333,310 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (including an over-allotment option granted to the Underwriter to purchase 173,910 shares). The offering was made pursuant to the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-257036), initially filed on June 11, 2021, as amended from time to time, which was declared effective on August 2, 2021 (the “August Offering”). The August Offering, including the full exercise of the over-allotment option, closed on August 5, 2021.
Additionally, on October 14, 2021, the Issuer entered into an underwriting agreement with the Underwriter, relating to a firm commitment underwritten offering of 1,552,500 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (including an over-allotment option for the Underwriter to purchase 202,500 shares of Common Stock). The offering was made pursuant to the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-260063) filed on October 5, 2021, which was declared effective on October 14, 2021 (the “October Offering”). A preliminary prospectus supplement was filed with the Commission on October 14, 2021, and a final prospectus supplement was filed with the Commission on October 18, 2021. The October Offering, including the full exercise of the over-allotment option, closed on October 19, 2021.
The August Offering and October Offering resulted in a decrease of over one percent (1%) in the aggregate percentage ownership reported by the Reporting Persons in the Schedule 13D and reduced the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership below five percent (5%) of the Issuer’s Common Stock. Consequently, this Amendment represents the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Persons.
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
This Schedule 13D relates to the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Paltalk, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with principal executive offices at 30 Jericho Executive Plaza, Suite 400E, Jericho, New York 11753.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to delete subsection (b) thereof and replace it in its entirety with the following:
(b) Business Address:

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Items 5(a), 5(b) and 5(e) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:
(a) The aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities identified pursuant to Item 1 beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are stated in Items 11 and 13 on the cover pages hereto.
(b) Number of shares as to which each Reporting Person has:
Hilltop Partners has the sole power: (i) to vote and to direct the voting of and (ii) to dispose and direct the disposition of the 354,109 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it. Hilltop Partners’ power to vote and dispose of its shares rests with LCM, in its capacity as the General Partner of Hilltop Partners.
LCM has the sole power: (i) to vote and to direct the voting of and (ii) to dispose and direct the disposition of the 354,109 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it in its capacity as the General Partner of Hilltop Partners. LCM has the sole power: (i) to vote and to direct the voting of and (ii) to dispose and direct the disposition of the 14,486 shares of Common Stock owned by Hilltop Offshore, in its capacity as Investment Adviser to Hilltop Offshore.
(e) Hilltop Partners, L.P. ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Issuer’s Common Stock on August 5, 2021. Lance Laifer ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Issuer’s Common Stock on October 19, 2021. Therefore, this Final Amendment constitutes the final amendment to the Schedule 13D.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:
In connection with the August Offering, Mr. Laifer and Hilltop Partners, L.P. entered into lock-up agreements (the “August 2021 Lock-up Agreement”) with the Underwriter. Pursuant to the August 2021 Lock-up Agreement, the directors, executive officers and certain significan t stockholders of the Issuer agreed not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of securities of the Issuer, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, for a 180-day period, subject to certain limitations therein.
