Compliance with Nasdaq Continued Listing Requirement
As previously reported, on May 19, 2017, Inpixon (the “Company”) received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it no longer complied with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) due to our failure to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”) or to demonstrate compliance with any alternative to such requirement. On October 24, 2017, the Company received notification (the “Staff Delisting Determination”) from Nasdaq that the Company had not regained compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. The Company appealed the Staff Delisting Determination and requested a hearing that was held on December 7, 2017. As a result, the suspension and delisting was stayed pending the issuance of a written decision by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). By decision dated December 14, 2017, the Panel granted the Company’s request for a further extension, through April 23, 2018, to evidence compliance with the $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement.
On April 20, 2018, the Company announced the pricing of a registered best-efforts public offering of units consisting of Series 4 preferred stock and warrants to purchase common stock, which is scheduled to close on or about April 24, 2018 (“Offering”). Upon the closing of this Offering, the Company’s stockholders’ equity will exceed the continued listing requirement of $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).
Press Release
On April 23, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing the filing of a Form 10 Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the planned spin-off of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inpixon USA (including its subsidiary, Inpixon Federal, Inc.), which is expected to be renamed “Sysorex, Inc.” (“Sysorex”) following the consummation of the spin-off transaction. Following the spin-off there be two distinct, publicly traded companies, Inpixon and Sysorex.
The strategic goal of the spin-off is to create two public companies, each of which will be better positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities and have a greater focus on their own individual strengths and operational plans.
In order to effect the proposed transaction, Inpixon intends to distribute shares of Sysorex’s common stock as a dividend to holders of Inpixon’ s common stock and certain other holders of Inpixon warrants that may be entitled to participate in the distribution as of a record date to be determined. The spin-off is subject to certain conditions, including, without limitation, the effectiveness of a Form 10 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the approval for quotation of Sysorex’ s common stock on the OTCQB Venture Market operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc., final approval from Inpixon’s Board of Directors and other customary conditions. No assurance can be provided as to the timing of the completion of the spin-off or that all conditions to the spin-off will be met. Furthermore, until the distribution has occurred, Inpixon will have the right to terminate the distribution, even if all of the conditions are satisfied.
Upon the completion of the proposed transaction, the Company plans to continue to focus its operations related to the development of its indoor positioning analytics technology.

Inpixon Announces Filing of Form 10 Registration Statement for Planned Spin-Off
PALO ALTO, Calif. — Inpixon (NASDAQ: INPX), a leading indoor positioning and data analytics company, today announced that the Form 10 Registration Statement in connection with the planned spin-off of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inpixon USA (including its subsidiary, Inpixon Federal, Inc.) (“Sysorex”), which is expected to be renamed “Sysorex, Inc.” following the consummation of the transaction, creating two distinct, publicly traded companies, has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The registration statement provides information regarding the business, strategy, and historical financial results of Sysorex, as well as further details on the anticipated terms of separation and distribution, employment matters, and tax matters agreements between Inpixon and Sysorex in connection with the planned spin-off. Sysorex expects to update its registration statement in subsequent amendments as additional information on the transactions is finalized prior to the separation.
“A technology company and a value-added reseller (VAR) company are two fundamentally different types of businesses. By separating them into two independent entities, we can empower them to realize their true potential with a single focus,” said Nadir Ali, Inpixon Chief Executive Officer. “We believe this spin-off will provide that opportunity. With this separation, Inpixon will be able to invest its capital and resources towards enhancing and developing its Indoor Positioning Analytics technology in order to deliver faster innovations and grow its customer base. Sysorex, with its own dedicated management team and resources, can concentrate its efforts on pursuing distinct opportunities for procuring third-party products and value-added services for commercial and federal customers for long-term growth and profitability.”
Upon the completion of the spin-off transaction, Inpixon plans to continue to focus its operations related to the development of its Indoor Positioning Analytics technology and continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “INPX”. Sysorex plans to continue focusing on its business of providing third-party hardware, software, and related maintenance and warranty products and services that it resells to commercial and government customers. Sysorex’s common stock is expected to be quoted on the OTCQB market of the OTC Markets Group, Inc.
The spin-off of Sysorex is subject to final approval by Inpixon’s Board of Directors, execution of intercompany agreements, arrangement of financing, the effectiveness of the registration statement, and other customary conditions.
A copy of the Form 10 Registration Statement is available for review at sec.gov under the name “Inpixon USA”.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor will there be any sale of any securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale is not permitted.
