Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On February 27, 2017, Sysorex Global, n/k/a Inpixon (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Inpixon, its wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary formed solely for the purpose of changing the Company’s corporate name from Sysorex Global to Inpixon (the “Name Change”). In accordance with the Merger Agreement, effective as of March 1, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), the subsidiary was merged with and into the Company with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). In accordance with Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, stockholder approval of the Merger was not required.
The Merger and the Name Change do not affect the rights of the Company’s security holders. Following the Name Change, the stock certificates which reflect the Company’s prior name will continue to be valid but subject to the Reverse Stock Split discussed at Items 3.03 and 5.03 below. Certificates reflecting the new name will be issued in due course as old stock certificates are tendered for exchange or transfer to the Company’s transfer agent.
As part of the Company’s Name Change, each of the Company’s subsidiaries also amended their corporate charters to change their names from Sysorex USA, Sysorex Government Services, Inc., and Sysorex Canada Corp. to Inpixon USA, Inpixon Federal, Inc., and Inpixon Canada, Inc., respectively, effective as of March 1, 2017.
The description of the Merger Agreement is a summary of the material terms thereof, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.03 | Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders. |
To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information regarding the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below) contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
To effectuate the Merger, the Company filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada which amended the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”), to change the Company’s name to “Inpixon,” effective on the Effective Date. A copy of the Articles of Merger is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Also on the Effective Date, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a 1-for-15 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Amendment, effective as of the Effective Date, every 15 shares of the issued and outstanding Common Stock were converted into one share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company’s stockholders at its 2016 annual meeting of stockholders held on November 8, 2016.
The Common Stock began trading on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on the NASDAQ Capital Market at the opening of trading on March 1, 2017. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split and the Name Change, the Common Stock also commenced trading under a new NASDAQ symbol, “INPX,” and a new CUSIP number, 45790J107, at such time.
No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. If, as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, a stockholder would otherwise hold a fractional share, the stockholder will receive, in lieu of the issuance of such fractional share, one whole share of Common Stock.
Corporate Stock Transfer, the Company’s transfer agent, is acting as the exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split and will provide instructions to stockholders of record regarding the process for exchanging shares. Those stockholders holding Common Stock in “street name” will receive instructions from their brokers.
