Transaction to Include Workplace Experience Technologies, Indoor Mapping, Events Platform, Augmented Reality and Related Business Solutions
Proposed Business Combination Expected to be Completed Before Year-End
PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Inpixon® (Nasdaq: INPX), the Indoor Intelligence® company, today announced it has signed a definitive merger agreement with KINS Technology Group, Inc., a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company (Nasdaq: KINZ); (Nasdaq: KINZW) ("KINS"), for KINS to acquire Inpixon's enterprise apps business (including its workplace experience technologies, indoor mapping, events platform, augmented reality and related business solutions). The transaction will be structured as a business combination (the "Business Combination") with Inpixon's newly formed subsidiary, CXApp Holding Corp. ("CXApp"), that is anticipated to result in Inpixon stockholders receiving shares in KINS valued at approximately $69 million. The transaction is expected to provide Inpixon's enterprise apps business with greater capital and operational resources, a new executive management team and board expertise to accelerate growth.
Following the closing of the transaction, CXApp will be a wholly owned subsidiary of KINS, and the combined business will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both Inpixon and KINS and is subject to approval by the Security and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), KINS stockholders and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The proposed Business Combination is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022. Inpixon shareholders as of a record date to be determined will be eligible to receive the KINS shares.
Mr. Khurram Sheikh, founder, chairman and CEO of KINS, said "We are pleased to announce this transformative acquisition. The workplace experience market is experiencing explosive growth as organizations seek new ways to leverage technology to maximize efficiency, increase productivity and drive growth. This shift has accelerated due to the pandemic, as organizations adapt to the new hybrid work environment. Customers for Inpixon's enterprise apps business line include the who's who of Fortune 500 companies, and the business has an established track record, consistently ranked among the top providers of workplace experience solutions. Inpixon's enterprise app is already well positioned in the market as a comprehensive end-to-end solution that offers a seamless employee experience. Moreover, we believe that with resources and capital exclusively allocated to this business, we can enhance its organic growth opportunities and maximize value for both Inpixon and KINS stockholders."
Mr. Nadir Ali, CEO of Inpixon, commented, "We have been working on multiple strategic transactions for some time and believe this transaction will unlock significant value for stockholders. I could not be more excited about the outlook for this line of business. With this transaction, capital and operational resources will be singularly focused on the growth and profitability of this business. In addition, Inpixon shareholders will be able to benefit in the potential upside as stockholders of two public companies, each with distinct customers and product lines."
Following the transaction, Inpixon will retain the remainder of its products including the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) business line, and will be focused on pursuing the most advantageous opportunities for this business and Inpixon shareholders. In this regard, Inpixon has entered into a non-binding letter of intent and is in due diligence stages with another third party in connection with a potential transaction involving the remainder of its business. Inpixon believes that pursuing these opportunities, coupled with Inpixon's recent cost cutting initiatives, will offer the greatest chance for maximizing the value of their investment with dedicated and focused resources allocated to these core business lines.
