Dear Inpixon Stockholders:
You recently received proxy materials relating to several proposals to be voted on by stockholders of Inpixon (the “Company”) at a Special Meeting of Stockholders originally scheduled to be held on August 3, 2023. You were previously notified that the Special Meeting was postponed to September 8, 2023, and then further postponed to October 2, 2023. This important notice is to inform you that the Special Meeting has been rescheduled to September 29, 2023, at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Time. The Special Meeting will still be completely virtual, the record date for the Special Meeting remains June 21, 2023 (the “Record Date”), and the live audio webcast for the Special Meeting will be available by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/INPX2023.
The information in this letter is intended to supplement and amend certain information included in the definitive proxy statement relating to the Special Meeting, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 3, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”), and the additional definitive proxy information filed from time to time with the SEC (the “Additional Proxy Information”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Proxy Statement.
Reduced Quorum Requirement
The purpose of this letter is to provide new information about the quorum requirement for the Special Meeting. On September 18, 2023, our Board of Directors adopted resolutions to amend our amended and restated bylaws (our “Bylaws”) to provide that the holders of one-third (33⅓%) of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at all meetings of our stockholders for the transaction of business (the “Reduced Quorum Requirement”), including at the Special Meeting. Our Bylaws previously provided that the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, would constitute a quorum at all meetings of our stockholders for the transaction of business. We adopted the Reduced Quorum Requirement as the vast majority of our stockholders hold their shares in “street name” in brokerage accounts. This means brokers are responsible for voting the shares unless the underlying stockholder specifically provides instructions to their broker, and many brokers have put in place policies of not voting such shares on “discretionary” or “routine” matters, thus resulting in an inability of companies such as ours to achieve quorum. As a result, many of these shares remain unvoted.
Votes Needed to Hold the Special Meeting
Based on 40,296,799 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date, 13,432,267 shares of Common Stock must be present at the Special Meeting, as postponed, virtually or by proxy, for there to be a quorum. The 13,432,267 shares of Common Stock now required for there to be a quorum represents 6,716,133 fewer shares than prior to the effectiveness of the Reduced Quorum Requirement.
Revised Vote Requirement for Proposal One (the Reverse Split Proposal)
As a result of the amendment to NRS, 78.2055, which was approved by the Nevada Legislature effective May 30, 2023 pursuant to Assembly Bill No. 126, the vote required for approval of Proposal One has changed. The affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Common Stock representing a majority of the votes cast by the holders of all of the shares of Common Stock present or represented and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be required for approval of Proposal One. Abstentions will not be treated as votes cast for or against the proposal, and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. Brokers generally have discretionary authority to vote on the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our outstanding Common Stock.

Impact on Proposals of Reduced Quorum Requirement
The approval of each of Proposal One (the Reverse Split proposal), Proposal Three (approval of the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)) and Proposal Four (the adjournment proposal) each requires the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Common Stock representing a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares of Common Stock present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. As a result of the Reduced Quorum Requirement, fewer shares present or represented and entitled to vote will be required to constitute a quorum at the Special Meeting. This means that, if the number of shares present or represented at the Special Meeting satisfies the new quorum requirement but is less than a majority of our outstanding shares entitled to vote, the affirmative vote of fewer shares will be required to approve each of Proposals One, Three and Four than if the Reduced Quorum Requirement had not been approved.
In contrast, because the approval of Proposal Two (the Authorized Share Increase proposal) requires the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Common Stock representing a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting (regardless of whether such shares are present or represented at the Special Meeting), the Reduced Quorum Requirement does not impact the voting requirement for Proposal Two.
Additional Information
