Inpixon Continues to Advance the Planned Spin-off and Business Combination Between Inpixon Subsidiary Grafiti Holding and Damon Motors; Record Date Set for December 27, 2023

PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Inpixon® (Nasdaq: INPX) today announced that Damon Motors, maker of the award-winning HyperSport EV Motorcycle, will be featuring its HyperFighter Superbike at CES 2024 within the NXP® Semiconductors booth CP-19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center Central Plaza, January 9-12, 2024. CES, owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, is widely recognized as the one of the most influential tech events in the world. CES provides a platform to showcase groundbreaking technologies and global innovators including manufacturers, developers, and suppliers of consumer technology products.

"We are pleased to return to CES and feature our innovative HyperFighter Superbike," commented Jay Giraud, CEO of Damon Motors. "CES brings together global leaders within the technology industry and provides the stage to experience leading products from around the world. We are proud to be able to feature our HyperFighter Superbike, which provides users with a new riding experience combining high performance and sleek design with advanced safety technologies that differentiate our bike from others on the market. Separately, we continue to advance our business transaction with Inpixon, which is expected to result in a new publicly traded company on Nasdaq, allowing Damon to further execute our business growth strategy."

Damon has won over a dozen awards for its innovations including a 2022 CES Best in Innovation award for its HyperDrive technology and a 2020 CES Best in Innovation award for its flagship HyperSport motorcycle. The company has also received awards from The Edison Awards, GOOD DESIGN, Digital Trends, Red Herring, Popular Science, Robb Report, and more.

As previously disclosed, Inpixon's board of directors has set December 27, 2023 as the record date for determining the holders of Inpixon's outstanding capital stock and certain other securities ("Record Date Securityholders") entitled to the distribution of all the outstanding shares of Grafiti Holding Inc. owned by Inpixon ("Spin-off Shares") in connection with its previously announced spinoff.

Factors that May Affect the Distribution and Spin-off

The distribution of the Spin-off Shares to the Record Date Securityholders is conditioned upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. In addition, the Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including approval of the Business Combination by Damon securityholders, approval by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, and a Plan of Arrangement for purposes of compliance with the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(10) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the issuance by Grafiti of the merger consideration to Damon securityholders, as well as approval by Nasdaq to list the shares of the combined company. No assurance can be provided as to the timing of the completion of the distribution and the Business Combination or that all conditions to the Spin-off or the Business Combination will be satisfied. Inpixon expects that there will be no public trading market for the shares of Grafiti until or unless the Business Combination is consummated. 

Inpixon may elect to change the Record Date for the Spin-off to a later date or to not proceed with the distribution.

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 Damon Transaction, the anticipated timing of the completion of the Proposed Damon Transaction, the products under development by Damon and the markets in which it plans to operate, the advantages of Damon's technology, Damon's competitive landscape and positioning, and Damon's growth plans and strategies, 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 Damon 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 Damon Transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Inpixon's securities;
  • the risk that the public market valuation of the combined company following the consummation of the business combination may differ from the valuation range ascertained by the parties to the business combination and their respective financial advisors, and that the valuation to be ascertained by an independent financial advisor to Damon in connection with the business combination may differ from the valuation ascertained by Inpixon's independent financial advisor;
  • the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Damon Transaction, including receiving the necessary approvals from the Damon securityholders and the Supreme Court of British Columbia with respect to the Plan of Arrangement;
  • the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Proposed Damon Transaction;
  • the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Proposed Damon Transaction on Inpixon, Grafiti and Damon's business relationships, performance, and business generally;
  • risks that the Proposed Damon Transaction disrupts current plans of Inpixon, Grafiti and Damon and potential difficulties in their employee retention as a result of the Proposed Damon Transaction;
  • the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Damon, Grafiti or Inpixon related to the Proposed Damon Transaction;
  • failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Damon Transaction;
  • the inability to satisfy the initial listing criteria of Nasdaq or obtain Nasdaq approval of the initial listing of the combined company on Nasdaq;
  • the risk that the price of the securities of the combined company may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the highly competitive industries in which Grafiti and Damon operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws, regulations, technologies that may impose additional costs and compliance burdens on Grafiti and Damon's operations, global supply chain disruptions and shortages, and macro-economic and social environments affecting Grafiti and Damon's business and changes in the combined capital structure;
  • the inability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Proposed Damon Transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities;
  • the risk that Damon has a limited operating history, has not achieved sufficient sales and production capacity at a mass-production facility, and Damon and its current and future collaborators may be unable to successfully develop and market Damon's motorcycles or solutions, or may experience significant delays in doing so;
  • the risk that the combined company may never achieve or sustain profitability;
  • the risk that Damon and the combined company may be unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms to finance its operations and remain a going concern;
  • the risk that the combined company experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations;
  • the risk that Damon's $85 million of non-binding reservations are canceled, modified, delayed or not placed and that Damon must return the refundable deposits and such reservations are not converted to sales;
  • the risks relating to Damon's ability to satisfy the conditions and deliver on the orders and reservations, its ability to maintain quality control of its motorcycles, and Damon's dependence on third parties for supplying components and manufacturing the motorcycles;
  • the risk that other motorcycle manufacturers develop competitive electric motorcycles or other competitive motorcycles that adversely affect Damon's market position;
  • the risk that Damon's patent applications may not be approved or may take longer than expected, and Damon may incur substantial costs in enforcing and protecting its intellectual property;
  • the risk that Damon's estimates of market demand may be inaccurate; 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 SEC on April 17, 2023, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period thereafter, as such factors may be updated from time-to-time in Inpixon's filings with the SEC, and the registration statement to be filed by Grafiti in connection with the Spin-off. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

Nothing in this press release should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.
