Positive
  • None.
Negative
  • None.

The anticipated listing of XTI Aerospace on the Nasdaq represents a significant milestone for the company and is likely to attract the attention of investors interested in the aerospace sector. The focus on the TriFan 600, a Vertical Lift Crossover Airplane, suggests a potential disruption in private air transportation, tapping into various segments such as business, medevac and cargo. The mention of over 700 conditional pre-order reservations, with the potential to generate over $7 billion in gross revenue, underscores a strong market interest. However, it's essential to scrutinize the feasibility of these pre-orders converting into actual sales, as they are conditional and subject to the successful development, FAA certification and delivery of the aircraft.

Investors should also consider the risks associated with the aerospace industry, including high capital expenditure, long development timelines and regulatory hurdles. Additionally, the stock consolidation, a common maneuver to meet listing requirements and improve stock marketability, may affect shareholder value. Shareholders will need to assess the impact of the reverse stock split on their investments, as it could lead to a temporary increase in stock price volatility.

The financial implications of the merger between Inpixon and XTI Aircraft Company are multifaceted. The $1.5 million equity investment by an entity controlled by Inpixon's CEO is a vote of confidence in the merger's prospects. However, investors should analyze the terms of this investment and its impact on existing shareholder dilution. The consolidation of shares will reduce the number of outstanding shares, potentially increasing the earnings per share (EPS) metric, which is a critical indicator of a company's profitability.

Investors should also evaluate the combined company's post-merger financial health, including its cash flow situation, debt levels and the costs associated with the development of the TriFan 600. The successful commercialization of the TriFan 600 will likely require significant ongoing investment and the company's ability to manage these expenses while advancing its RTLS technology will be crucial for long-term financial stability.

The TriFan 600 represents an innovative approach to private air travel, with the promise of combining the benefits of a fixed-wing aircraft and a helicopter. However, the path to commercialization in the aerospace industry is fraught with technical challenges and regulatory approvals. The company's success hinges on its ability to meet performance specifications and secure FAA certification, which is a rigorous and often lengthy process. Additionally, the competitive landscape of the aerospace industry should not be overlooked, as other companies may also be pursuing similar technological advancements.

The strategic focus on both the TriFan 600 and RTLS technology suggests a diversified approach to growth. However, investors should assess how the company plans to balance these two potentially resource-intensive endeavors and whether it has the necessary expertise and infrastructure to succeed in both areas.

XTI Aerospace Anticipated to Begin Trading on Nasdaq Under Ticker Symbol "XTIA" as of Market Open March 13, 2024

Transaction Aimed to Create an Innovative Aerospace Company Focused on Revolutionizing Private Air Transportation with Its TriFan 600 Vertical Lift Crossover Airplane (VLCA)

PALO ALTO, Calif., March 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Inpixon® (Nasdaq: INPX) ("Inpixon" or the "Company") today announced that the Company and XTI Aircraft Company anticipate the closing date of the previously announced merger will be after market close on March 12, 2024. Following closing, the Company will operate under the name "XTI Aerospace, Inc." ("XTI Aerospace"). Immediately prior to the closing of the transaction, the Company will  implement a consolidation of the Company's common stock for the purpose of satisfying initial listing requirements for the combined company and to bring the company into compliance with Nasdaq continued listing rules. The consolidation will be effective as of market open on March 13, 2024, upon which trading will commence on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new ticker symbol "XTIA", with a new CUSIP number, 98423K108. Concurrent with the transaction closing, it is expected that an entity controlled by Inpixon's CEO will invest $1.5 million in an equity financing in the Company.

XTI Aerospace will be focused on advancing development of the TriFan 600, its vertical lift crossover airplane, as well as continuing to offer the Company's real-time location systems (RTLS) technology to manufacturing and warehousing facilities for streamlined operations, greater efficiency, and improved safety.

Nadir Ali, CEO of Inpixon, commented, "We're pleased to be nearing completion of what we believe will be a transformative merger transaction, positioning the combined company to move forward with further development and commercialization of the revolutionary TriFan 600. We expect the fixed-wing TriFan 600 to provide the speed, range, and comfort of a business aircraft while offering the point-to-point convenience of a helicopter. Upon meeting its performance specifications, the aircraft will serve nearly every segment of private air travel including business, medevac, leisure, and cargo. We believe the market demand for this airplane is clearly demonstrated by over 700 conditional pre-order reservations, and indications of interest, that XTI Aircraft Company has secured from various customers [1]. These conditional pre-orders have the potential to generate over $7 billion in gross revenue upon delivery of the aircraft to XTI's customers [2]. The merger will enable our shareholders to participate in this significant opportunity."

In connection with the consolidation of the Company's common stock, every one hundred (100) shares of its outstanding common stock (INPX) will automatically be combined into one (1) share of common stock of the combined company (XTIA). Any fractional shares resulting from the consolidation will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of common stock.

2 Based on XTI's current list price of $10 million per aircraft and assuming XTI is able to execute on the development program for the TriFan 600, secure FAA certification, and deliver the aircraft.

  • 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 SEC on April 17, 2023 (the "2022 Form 10-K"), the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods filed thereafter, and the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 25, 2023, and in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in XTI's periodic reports filed pursuant to Regulation A of the Securities Act including XTI's Annual Report on Form 1-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on July 13, 2023 (the "2022 Form 1-K"), as such factors may be updated from time to time in Inpixon's and XTI's filings with the SEC, the registration statement on Form S-4 and the prospectus contained therein.
