Introductory Note
As previously described in a current report on Form 8-K filed on July 25, 2023 (the “July 2023 8-K”), on July 24, 2023, Inpixon, a Nevada corporation (“Inpixon,” or the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Inpixon, Superfly Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inpixon (“Merger Sub”), and XTI Aircraft Company, a Delaware corporation (“XTI”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on March 12, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Merger Sub merged with and into XTI (the “Merger”), with XTI surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inpixon. Following the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) on the Closing Date, Inpixon amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to “XTI Aerospace, Inc.” (also referred to as “XTIA”) and the combined company opened for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on March 13, 2024 under the new ticker symbol “XTIA”. As of the Effective Time, Nadir Ali resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Scott Pomeroy was appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of XTIA, as described in Item 5.02 below.
Shortly prior to the Effective Time, Inpixon effected a 1-for-100 reverse split of its outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
At the Effective Time, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the shares of XTI common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time became the right to receive 7,843,668 shares of XTIA common stock, and the options and warrants to purchase shares of XTI common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were assumed by the Company and became exercisable for approximately 1,068,959 and 382,610 shares of XTIA common stock, respectively, based on an exchange ratio of 0.0892598 shares of XTIA common stock for each share of XTI common stock in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Prior to the Effective Time, XTI received the consents of certain of its convertible note holders to convert the outstanding balance under their convertible notes, equal to an aggregate outstanding amount of $7,535,701, into shares of XTI common stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, enabling them to participate in the Merger on the same basis as the other shares of XTI common stock. XTI convertible notes in the aggregate remaining principal and interest amount of $51,658, were assumed by the Company at the Effective Time and became convertible into approximately 4,611 shares of XTIA common stock.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, all but $175,000 of the total principal and accrued interest balance of the convertible note issued by XTI to Dave Brody on October 1, 2023, as amended on March 12, 2024, was converted into shares of XTI common stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, enabling him to participate in the Merger on the same basis as the other shares of XTI common stock, as disclosed in Item 5.02 of this Form 8-K. The remaining $175,000 became payable in cash by XTI upon consummation of the Merger.
Immediately following the Effective Time, the XTIA had 9,786,801 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, subject to adjustment in connection with rounding associated with the Reverse Stock Split.

The information contained in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein to the extent required to be disclosed under this Item 1.01.

Certificate of Designation for Series 9 Preferred Stock
On March 12, 2024, the Company filed the Certificate of Designations of Preferences and Rights of Series 9 Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”), with the Secretary of State of Nevada, designating 20,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 of the Company, as Series 9 Preferred Stock. Each share of Series 9 Preferred Stock has a stated face value of $1,050.00 (“Stated Value”). The Series 9 Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of common stock of the Company.
Each share of Series 9 Preferred Stock will accrue a rate of return on the Stated Value in the amount of 10% per year, compounded annually to the extent not paid, and pro rata for any fractional year periods (the “Preferred Return”). The Preferred Return will accrue on each share of Series 9 Preferred Stock from the date of issuance and shall be payable on a quarterly basis, either in cash or through the issuance of an additional number of shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock equal to (i) the Preferred Return then accrued and unpaid, divided by (ii) the Stated Value, at the Company’s discretion.
6
Commencing on the one-year anniversary of the respective issuance date of each share of Series 9 Preferred Stock, each such share of Series 9 Preferred Stock shall accrue an automatic quarterly dividend, based on three quarters of 91 days each and the last quarter of 92 days (or 93 days for leap years), which shall be calculated on the Stated Value of such share of Series 9 Preferred Stock, and which shall be payable in additional shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock, based on the Stated Value, or in cash as set forth in the Certificate of Designation (each, as applicable, the “Quarterly Dividend”). For the period beginning on the one-year anniversary of the issuance date of a share of Series 9 Preferred Stock to the two-year anniversary of the issuance date of each share of Series 9 Preferred Stock, the Quarterly Dividend shall be 2% per quarter in respect of such share, and for all periods following the two-year anniversary of the issuance date of each share of Series 9 Preferred Stock, the Quarterly Dividend shall be 3% per quarter in respect of such share.
If at any time while any share of Series 9 Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company undergoes or enters into a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), the Company shall cause any successor entity in any such Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving company, to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under the Certificate of Designation. Subject to the terms and conditions in the Certificate of Designation, the Company may, at any time, elect to redeem all, but not less than all, of the shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock issued and outstanding from all of the Series 9 Preferred Stock holders by paying an amount in cash equal to the Series 9 Preferred Liquidation Amount (as defined below) applicable to such shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock being redeemed. The Series 9 Preferred Liquidation Amount per share is determined as the Stated Value per share plus any accrued but unpaid Preferred Return, and any accrued and unpaid Quarterly Dividend at that time.
The Series 9 Preferred Stock confers no voting rights on its holders, except with respect to matters that materially and adversely affect the rights or preferences of the Series 9 Preferred Stock or such matters specified in the Certificate of Designation that require the consent of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock.
The Certificate of Designation contains certain obligations of the Company, such that until such time as no shares of Series 9 Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company and its subsidiaries are required to comply with certain covenants with respect to Fundamental Transactions, the Company’s indebtedness, the Company’s status as a publicly-traded company and an SEC reporting company, and other matters set forth in the Certificate of Designation, unless otherwise consented to by holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Series 9 Preferred Stock.
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Designation does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Designation, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation
On March 11, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effect the Reverse Stock Split, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the special meeting in lieu of annual meeting held on December 8, 2023, as described in the Company’s proxy statement/prospectus filed on November 14, 2023. Any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Company’s authorized number of shares of common stock was not reduced by the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split became effective shortly before the Effective Time. The exercise price per share and number of shares issuable under all of the Company’s outstanding securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock have been proportionately adjusted to account for the Reverse Stock Split.
On March 11, 2024, the Company also filed a Certificate of Amendment to its articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to change the name of the Company from “Inpixon” to “XTI Aerospace, Inc.”, which became effective shortly after the Effective Time.

Pursuant to its engagement letter with XTI, dated as of June 7, 2022, as amended (the “Chardan Engagement Letter”) and the Merger Agreement, Chardan Capital Markets (“Chardan”) received a cash payment of $200,000 and 189,037 registered XTIA shares of common stock (the “Chardan Closing Shares”) in exchange for shares of XTI common stock issued to Chardan based on the exchange ratio under the Merger Agreement. If within 120 days following the Effective Time, the Company consummates a public offering of securities in which the price per share of XTIA common stock (“Chardan Qualified Offering price”) is less than the per share price of Inpixon common stock utilized to calculate the number of Chardan Closing Shares, the Company will be required, subject to applicable securities laws, to issue additional shares of XTIA common stock to Chardan in an amount equal to (i) $1,000,000 minus the product of the number of Chardan Closing Shares and Chardan Qualified Offering Price, divided by (ii) the Chardan Qualified Offeing Price.
Nasdaq Hearing Update
On April 14, 2023, Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff (“Staff”) issued the Company a delist letter citing its failure to comply with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2 (“Bid Price Rule”). In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until October 11, 2023, to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2). However, on November 9, 2023, the Company received a delisting determination letter from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) in accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) due to the Company’s securities having a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days (the “Low Priced Stocks Rule”). Accordingly, on January 5, 2024, the Company requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). That hearing was held on February 6, 2024.
On March 1, 2024, the Company received a written decision from the Panel granting its request for continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to the condition that, on or before May 7, 2024, the Company will have demonstrated compliance with the Bid Price Rule, by evidencing a closing bid price of $1.00 or more per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days.
On March 12, 2024, the Company implemented a reverse stock split immediately prior to the closing of the Merger in connection with its plan to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule and satisfy initial listing requirements as a result of the resulting change of control in accordance with Nasdaq listing rules.
