PALO
ALTO, Calif., Dec. 11,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Inpixon® (NASDAQ: INPX) today
announced that it has received shareholder approval of the
proposals related to the previously announced merger agreement with
XTI Aircraft Company ("XTI"), an aviation company developing the
TriFan 600, a fixed-wing, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL)
aircraft. The merger is expected to be completed at or around year
end and remains subject to certain closing conditions including
Nasdaq approval of an initial listing application of the combined
company. 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.
If 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/.
"With the support of our shareholders, we are thrilled to
announce the approval of this business combination," said
Nadir Ali, CEO of Inpixon. "This
strategic transaction will not only deliver XTI stockholders
securities of a publicly traded company but it also ensures that
Inpixon shareholders can continue to hold a significant stake in a
company that we believe is creating a revolutionary solution
for point-to-point air travel. With this combination, we're
looking to capture the vast opportunities in the alternative
aircraft market, a sector we believe is ripe with innovation and
expansion potential. The TriFan 600 airplane combines the comfort,
speed, and range of similar conventional business aircraft with the
flexibility, convenience, and pinpoint transportation of a
helicopter. The feedback from the market has been overwhelmingly
positive as illustrated by the conditional pre-orders2
for more than 700 TriFan 600s, which would equate to potential
gross revenues of more than $7
billion3 upon delivery."

This press release contains certain "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the United States Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act,
and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than
statements of historical fact contained in this press release,
including statements regarding the benefits of the Proposed XTI
Transaction and the anticipated timing of the completion of the
Proposed XTI Transaction, are forward-looking statements.
Some of these forward-looking statements can be identified by
the use of forward-looking words, including "may," "should,"
"expect," "intend," "will," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe,"
"predict," "plan," "targets," "projects," "could," "would,"
"continue," "forecast" or the negatives of these terms or
variations of them or similar expressions. All forward-looking
statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors
which could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All
forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts, and
assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Inpixon and its
management, and XTI and its management, as the case may be, are
inherently uncertain and many factors may cause the actual results
to differ materially from current expectations which include, but
are not limited to:
- the risk that the Proposed XTI Transaction may not be completed
in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price
of Inpixon's securities;
- the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of
the Proposed XTI Transaction, including the adoption of the merger
agreement by the shareholders of Inpixon;
- the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that
could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement;
- the adjustments permitted under the merger agreement to the
exchange ratio that could result in XTI shareholders or Inpixon
shareholders owning less of the post-combination company than
expected;
- the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Proposed XTI
Transaction on Inpixon's and XTI's business relationships,
performance, and business generally;
- the risks that the Proposed XTI Transaction disrupts current
plans of Inpixon and XTI and potential difficulties in Inpixon's
and XTI's employee retention because of the Proposed XTI
Transaction;
- the outcome of any legal proceedings instituted against XTI or
against Inpixon related to the merger agreement or the Proposed XTI
Transaction;
- failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed XTI
Transaction;
- the inability to meet and maintain the listing of Inpixon's
securities (or the securities of the post-combination company) on
Nasdaq;
- the risk that the price of Inpixon's securities (or the
securities of the post-combination company) may be volatile due to
a variety of factors, including changes in the highly competitive
industries in which Inpixon and XTI operate;
- the inability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other
expectations after the completion of the Proposed XTI Transaction,
and identify and realize additional opportunities;
- variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws,
regulations, technologies that may impose additional costs and
compliance burdens on Inpixon and XTI's operations, global supply
chain disruptions and shortages;
- national security tensions, and macro-economic and social
environments affecting Inpixon and XTI's business and changes in
the combined capital structure;
- the risk that XTI has a limited operating history, has not yet
manufactured any non-prototype aircraft or delivered any aircraft
to a customer, and XTI and its current and future collaborators may
be unable to successfully develop and market XTI's aircraft or
solutions, or may experience significant delays in doing so;
- the risk that XTI is subject to the uncertainties associated
with the regulatory approvals of its aircraft including the
certification by the Federal Aviation Administration, which is a
lengthy and costly process;
- the risk that the post-combination company may never achieve or
sustain profitability;
- the risk that XTI, Inpixon and the post-combination company may
be unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms to
finance its operations and remain a going concern;
- the risk that the post-combination company experiences
difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations;
- the risk that XTI's conditional pre-orders (which include
conditional aircraft purchase agreements, non-binding reservations,
and options) are canceled, modified, delayed or not placed and that
XTI must return the refundable deposits;
- the risks relating to long development and sales cycles, XTI's
ability to satisfy the conditions and deliver on the orders and
reservations, its ability to maintain quality control of its
aircraft, and XTI's dependence on third parties for supplying
components and potentially manufacturing the aircraft;
- the risk that other aircraft manufacturers develop competitive
VTOL aircraft or other competitive aircraft that adversely affect
XTI's market position;
- the risk that XTI's future patent applications may not be
approved or may take longer than expected, and XTI may incur
substantial costs in enforcing and protecting its intellectual
property;
- the risk that XTI's estimates of market demand may be
inaccurate;
- the risk that XTI's ability to sell its aircraft may be limited
by circumstances beyond its control, such as a shortage of pilots
and mechanics who meet the training standards, high maintenance
frequencies and costs for the sold aircraft, and any accidents or
incidents involving VTOL aircraft that may harm customer
confidence; and
- other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections
entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements" in Inpixon's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the

other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
events and results to differ materially from those contained in the
