PALO
ALTO, Calif., Jan. 12,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Inpixon® (Nasdaq: INPX)
announced today that it is working with XTI Aircraft Company to
expeditiously satisfy applicable closing conditions to the
previously announced business combination transaction. The parties
intend to announce the anticipated closing date of the transaction
as soon as possible following the satisfaction of such conditions
and receipt of Nasdaq approval for the listing of the post
combination company's common stock. The combined company is
expected to operate under the name XTI Aerospace, Inc. ("XTI
Aerospace") and to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the
symbol "XTIA" if approved for listing. When completed, the merger
will result in a combined publicly traded company that will focus
on advancing the TriFan 600 to market, as well as continuing to
offer Inpixon's real-time location systems (RTLS) technology to
manufacturing and warehousing facilities for streamlined
operations, greater efficiency, and improved safety. The enterprise
value of XTI was ascertained by an independent financial advisory
firm to be within the range of $252
million and $343
million.1 Additional information is available on
the merger information portal at https://xti-inpx-merger.com/.
In addition, in connection with the previously announced
spin-off ("Spin-off") of its subsidiary, Grafiti Holding Inc.
("Grafiti Holding"), Inpixon contributed all of the outstanding
shares of its wholly owned subsidiary which operates its data
analytics and statistical visualization solutions business in the
United Kingdom to Grafiti Holding.
On December 27, 2023, all of the
shares of Grafiti Holding were transferred to a trust to be held
for the benefit of holders of Inpixon's common stock, preferred
stock and certain outstanding warrants as of December 27, 2023 ("participating
securityholders") pending the effectiveness of a registration
statement which has been confidentially submitted by Grafiti
Holding with the Securities and Exchange Commission. During the
period that the trust retains possession of the Grafiti Holding
shares, and prior to their distribution, the beneficial
interests in such shares will not be certificated or
tradable. The Grafiti Holding shares will be distributed to
Inpixon participating securityholders prior to the closing of the
business combination with Damon Motors, Inc. and the combined
company will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market subject to the
approval of an initial listing application.
"Over the last several months, we have explored, identified, and
advanced three strategic transactions that we believe will maximize
value for shareholders over the long run, starting with the CXApp
transaction which closed in March
2023 and continuing with the proposed XTI and Damon
transactions," commented Nadir Ali,
chief executive officer of Inpixon. "Through these two latest
transactions, Inpixon shareholders have the opportunity to be
stakeholders in two new publicly traded companies which we believe
are poised to be disruptors within their respective industries. We
look forward to providing updates related to the completion of
these transactions as soon as possible."
