The Inpixon Business focuses on indoor positioning, real-time localization, and sensor technologies.
Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
- Disposition Proceeds: The Company sold all shares of Inpixon GmbH to EVO 467. GmbH for a purchase price of EUR 4,640,000 (approximately $5,475,000).
- Payment Terms: The Purchase Price is deferred, bearing 5% annual interest until the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date (Maturity Date).
- Debt Elimination: Immediately prior to the transaction, XTI eliminated a shareholder loan to Inpixon with an outstanding principal balance of EUR 13,193,326.47 (approximately $15.6 million) via capital contribution and waiver.
- Executive Compensation: Separation payments to former CEO Soumya Das include $812.50 in unpaid salary, $31,500 in accrued vacation, $312,000 in one year's base salary, $300,000 in target bonus, and $75,000 in Q4 2025 bonus, totaling approximately $719,312.50 plus COBRA costs and expense reimbursements.

Material Changes and Unusual Items
- Unwind Option: The SPA includes a unique "Unwind Option" allowing XTI to require the Purchaser to transfer all Inpixon shares back to XTI without payment during a 15-month window (months 37-52 post-signing). If exercised or if the option expires unexercised, all unpaid purchase price and interest are forgiven.
- Asset Disposition: The sale transfers ownership of Inpixon GmbH, Aware RTLS, Inc., and IntraNav GmbH.
- Board Reshuffle: Soumya Das resigned as CEO of the Real-Time Location Systems division and as a Director. Jonathan Ornstein was appointed to the Board and its committees.
- Related Party Transaction: The new director, Jonathan Ornstein, is the former CEO of Mesa Air Group, which has a conditional aircraft purchase agreement with XTI Aircraft Company (a subsidiary) for approximately $1 billion, subject to significant contingencies.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Contingent Revenue: The Purchaser must collect specific accounts receivable and remit the net balance to XTI within one year of closing. Unpaid balances after this period accrue statutory default interest.
- Operational Restrictions: The Target Group Companies are prohibited from paying dividends or making upstream loans until the Purchase Price is paid in full.
- Pro Forma Data: Pro forma financial statements reflecting the disposition will be filed in a subsequent amendment; they are not included in this report.
- Tax Uncertainty: The specific tax characterization and amounts regarding the waived shareholder loan (capital contribution vs. taxable income) have not been determined.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exchange rate used for the EUR to USD conversion of the purchase price and the eliminated loan.
- Review the full text of the Share Purchase and Transfer Agreement (Exhibit 2.1) to understand the specific triggers and limitations of the "Unwind Option."
- Assess the status of the conditional $1 billion aircraft purchase agreement between XTI Aircraft Company and Mesa Air Group, given the new director's prior leadership role at Mesa.
- Monitor the upcoming amendment to this 8-K for pro forma financial statements to understand the impact of the Inpixon disposition on XTI's consolidated balance sheet.
- Confirm the final tax treatment of the $15.6 million shareholder loan waiver.
