QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND THE ANNUAL MEETING

What are proxy materials?

The accompanying proxy is delivered and solicited on behalf of our Board in connection with the Annual Meeting to be held on November 28, 2022 at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Time. As a stockholder, you are invited to virtually attend the Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the items of business described in this Proxy Statement. This Proxy Statement includes information that we are required to provide to you under Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules and is designed to assist you in voting your shares. The proxy materials include this Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting, our Annual Report, and the proxy card or a voting instruction form for the Annual Meeting (the “Proxy Materials”).

Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?

In accordance with the SEC rules, we may furnish Proxy Materials, including this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report, to our stockholders by providing access to such documents on the Internet instead of mailing printed copies. Accordingly, we are sending the Notice to our stockholders of record and beneficial stockholders as of September 30, 2022, which is the record date for the Annual Meeting.

How can I access the proxy materials over the Internet?

The Notice and proxy card or voting instruction form included with the Proxy Materials will contain instructions on how to view the proxy materials on the Internet. Electronic copies of this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report are available at www.proxyvote.com.

How can I sign up for the electronic proxy delivery service?

The Notice and proxy card or voting instruction form included with the Proxy Materials will contain instructions on how to request electronic delivery of future proxy materials. Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by e-mail will eliminate the cost of printing and mailing documents and will reduce the associated environmental impact. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by e-mail, you will receive an e-mail next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by e-mail will remain in effect until you terminate it.

What am I voting on?

The items of business scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting are:

●

Proposal One: the election of five directors to serve on our Board until our next annual meeting of stockholders or until the election and qualification of their successors;

●

Proposal Two: the ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022;

●

Proposal Three: the approval of an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, to increase the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock from 26,666,667 to 500,000,000;

●

Proposal Four: the approval of an amendment to our 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2018 Plan”), as more fully described herein;

●

Proposal Five: the approval of the adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary or advisable, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the foregoing proposals if there are not sufficient votes to approve the foregoing proposals; and

●

Proposal Six: the transaction of any other business properly brought before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, and how many votes do they have?

Stockholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2022 (the “Record Date”) may vote at the Annual Meeting. Pursuant to the rights of our stockholders contained in our charter documents, the holders of our Common Stock and the holders of our Series 8 Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class on all actions to be taken by the stockholders at this Annual Meeting.

On October 4, 2022, we filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Change, pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 78.209, to implement a one-for-seventy-five (1-for-75) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”), effective as of October 7, 2022, of our authorized and issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Unless otherwise noted, the information in this Proxy Statement reflects the Reverse Split.

Each share of our Common Stock has one vote. There were 163,474,701 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date on a pre-Reverse Split basis.

Each holder of Series 8 Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of our Common Stock into which such shares then held by such holder could be converted on the record date for the vote. Each share of our Series 8 Preferred Stock has approximately 2,120 votes as of the Record Date on a pre-Reverse Split basis, which is determined by dividing $1,000, the stated value of one share of Series 8 Preferred Stock, by $0.4717 (on a pre-Reverse Split basis), the conversion price. There were 53,197.2 shares of Series 8 Preferred Stock outstanding as of the Record Date, which are convertible into 112,778,720 shares of Common Stock on a pre-Reverse Split basis.

The allocation of the voting power of the Company on a pre-Reverse Split basis is illustrated in the table below.

	Number of Shares		Number of Votes per share		Aggregate Number of Votes		Percentage of Total Voting Power
Common Stock		163,474,701		1		163,474,701		59.18	%
Series 8 Preferred Stock		53,197.72		≈2,120		112,778,720		40.82	%

What constitutes a quorum?

The holders of a majority of the eligible votes as of the Record Date, either present virtually or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum. A quorum is necessary in order to conduct the Annual Meeting. If you choose to have your shares represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, you will be considered part of the quorum. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, the stockholders holding a majority of the eligible votes present virtually or by proxy may adjourn the meeting to a later date. If an adjournment is for more than 60 days or a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, we will provide notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

How do I vote?

If you hold Common Stock or Series 8 Preferred Stock as a stockholder of record as of the Record Date, you may direct how your stock is voted without virtually attending the Annual Meeting, by the following means:

●

Vote by Internet: You can vote via the Internet at www.proxyvote.com or you may scan the QR code with your smartphone and, once you are at the website, follow the online instructions. You will need information from your proxy card to vote via the Internet. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day. Proxies submitted by the Internet must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the day before the Annual Meeting.

●

Vote by Telephone: You can vote by telephone by calling the toll-free telephone number 1-800-690-6903. You will need your proxy card to vote by telephone. Telephone voting is available 24 hours a day. Proxies submitted by telephone must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the day before the Annual Meeting.

●

Vote by Mail: You can vote by marking, dating and signing your name exactly as it appears on the proxy card you received, and returning it in the postage-paid envelope provided. Please promptly mail your proxy card to ensure that it is received prior to the closing of the polls at the Annual Meeting.

If you hold Common Stock or Series 8 Preferred Stock in the name of a bank, broker, or other nominee, you should have received this Proxy Statement and voting instructions, which include the following, from your bank, broker or other nominee:

●

Vote by Internet. You can vote via the Internet by following the instructions on the voting instruction form provided to you. Once there, follow the online instructions. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day.

●

Please promptly mail your voting instruction form to ensure that it is received prior to the closing of the polls at the Annual Meeting.

What is a proxy?

A proxy is a person you appoint to vote on your behalf. By using the methods discussed above, except voting virtually at the meeting, you will be appointing Nadir Ali, our Chief Executive Officer, and Wendy Loundermon, our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, as your proxies (together, the “Management Proxyholders”). The Management Proxyholders may act together or individually to vote on your behalf, and will have the authority to appoint a substitute to act as proxy. If you are unable to virtually attend the Annual Meeting, please vote by proxy so that your shares may be voted.

You also have the right to appoint a person other than the Management Proxyholders to represent you at the Annual Meeting by striking out the names of the Management Proxyholders in the accompanying form of proxy and by inserting the desired proxyholder’s name in the blank space provided. A proxyholder need not be a stockholder.

How will my proxy vote my shares?

If you are a stockholder of record, your proxy will vote according to your instructions. If you choose to vote by mail and complete and return the enclosed proxy card but do not indicate your vote, your proxy will vote “FOR” any proposal for which you do not indicate your vote. We do not intend to bring any other matter for a vote at the Annual Meeting, and we do not know of anyone else who intends to do so. Your proxies are authorized to vote on your behalf, however, using their best judgment, on any other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting, including, among other things, consideration of a motion to adjourn the Annual Meeting to another time or place.

How do I change my vote?

If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before your shares are voted at the Annual Meeting by:

●

notifying our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, Wendy Loundermon, in writing at 2479 E. Bayshore Road, Suite 195, Palo Alto, CA 94303, that you are revoking your proxy;

●

submitting a proxy at a later date via the Internet or telephone, or by signing and delivering a proxy card relating to the same shares and bearing a later date than the date of the previous proxy prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting, in which case your later-submitted proxy will be recorded and your earlier proxy revoked; or

●

virtually attending and voting at the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in the name of a nominee, you should check with your nominee and follow the voting instructions your nominee provides. If you have any further questions, or proxy solicitor can be reached via toll-free number: (800) 515-4507.

Who will count the votes?

A representative from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will act as the inspector of election and count the votes.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

For Proposal One, the election of directors, the nominees will be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares of Common Stock and Series 8 Preferred Stock present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote in the election. You may choose to vote FOR, AGAINST, or ABSTAIN separately for each nominee. A properly executed proxy or voting instructions marked ABSTAIN with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for the purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Stockholders may not cumulate votes in the election of directors, which means that each stockholder may vote no more than the number of votes such stockholder is entitled to cast for a single director candidate.

For Proposals Two, Four and Five, the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Common Stock and Series 8 Preferred Stock voting together as a single class representing a majority of the votes cast by the holders of all of the shares present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required for approval.

For Proposal Three, the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Common Stock and Series 8 Preferred Stock representing a majority of the voting power outstanding as of the Record Date will be required for approval.

What are the effects of abstentions and broker non-votes?

An abstention represents a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Under Nevada law, abstentions are considered present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As a result, abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum and will also count as votes against a proposal in cases where approval of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power (Proposal Three).

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and do not provide the organization that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, the organization that holds your shares may generally vote on routine matters but cannot vote on non-routine matters. If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, the organization that holds your shares does not have the authority to vote on the matter with respect to those shares. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.”

Proposals Two, Three and Five involve matters that we believe will be considered routine under the relevant securities exchange rules and will not be subject to broker non-vote. Any proposal that is considered to be routine under the relevant securities exchange rules, will also not be subject to broker non-vote. The “routine” treatment of these proposals does not affect the seriousness with which we treat these proposals. All other proposals involve matters that we believe will be considered non-routine and brokers and other intermediaries will not have the discretion to vote on them without voting instructions. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to the organization that holds your shares by carefully following the instructions provided by such organization.

What percentage of each class of voting securities do our director-nominees and current executive officers own?

As of September 30, 2022, our director-nominees and executive officers beneficially owned approximately 3.31% of the total voting power, including shares of Common Stock issuable within sixty days, as more particularly illustrated in the table below. For more information, see the discussion under the heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” for more details.

	Common Stock			Series 8 Preferred Stock		Total Voting Power
Number of shares beneficially owned by our director-nominees and executive officers as of the Record Date		9,146,142			0		9,146,142
Voting Power of shares beneficially owned by our director-nominees and executive officers as of the Record Date		5.59	%		0		3.31	%

Who is soliciting proxies, how are they being solicited, and who pays the cost?

We have engaged D.F. King & Co., Inc. (“King”) to assist in the distribution of the Proxy Materials and the solicitation of proxies. We expect to pay King a fee for these services estimated at $11,500 plus out-of-pocket expenses. Proxies will be solicited on behalf of our Board by mail, in person, by telephone, and via the Internet. We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. Further, proxies may also be solicited through our directors, officers, and employees, who are soliciting proxies primarily by mail and the Internet without additional payments to them other than the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such solicitation. We will also reimburse stockbrokers and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to the owners of our voting stock. If you have any questions, or proxy solicitor can be reached via toll-free number: (800) 515-4507.

Can I attend the Annual Meeting?

This year, in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Board chose a virtual meeting format for the Annual Meeting in response to public health and travel concerns and in an effort to facilitate stockholder attendance and participation by enabling stockholders to participate fully, and equally, from any location around the world, at no cost. The virtual meeting format will allow our stockholders to engage with us at the Annual Meeting from any geographic location, using any convenient Internet connected devices, including smart phones and tablets, laptop or desktop computers. The virtual format allows stockholders to submit questions during the meeting.

To ensure they can participate, stockholders and proxyholders should visit virtualshareholdermeeting.com/INPX2022 and enter the 16-digit control number included on their Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or proxy card. If you wish to participate in the meeting and your shares are held in street name, you must obtain, from the broker, bank or other organization that holds your shares, the information required, including a 16-digit control number, in order for you to be able to participate in, and vote at the Annual Meeting.

Stockholders can vote their shares and submit questions via the Internet during the Annual Meeting by accessing the annual meeting website at virtualshareholdermeeting.com/INPX2022. We will answer any timely submitted and relevant questions on a matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting before voting is closed on the matter. Following adjournment of the formal business of the Annual Meeting, we will address appropriate general questions from stockholders regarding Inpixon as time allows. Questions relating to us may be submitted in the field provided in the web portal at or before the time the questions are to be discussed. If we receive substantially similar questions, we may group those questions together and provide a single response to avoid repetition.

Online check-in to the Annual Meeting webcast will begin at 9:45 a.m., Pacific Time, and you should allow ample time to log in to the meeting webcast and test your computer audio system. During online check-in and continuing through the length of the Annual Meeting, we will have technicians standing by to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual meeting. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the Virtual Shareholder Meeting log in page.

Who is our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, and will they be represented at the Annual Meeting?

Marcum LLP served as the independent registered public accounting firm auditing and reporting on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and has been appointed to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. We expect that representatives of Marcum LLP will be available at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they desire, and will be available to answer appropriate questions at the Annual Meeting.

What are the recommendations of our Board?

The recommendations of our Board are set forth together with the description of each proposal in this Proxy Statement. In summary, the Board recommends a vote FOR all of the proposals. With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote as recommended by the Board or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion.

If you sign and return your proxy card but do not specify how you want to vote your shares, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board.

Stockholder Communications

Stockholders may communicate with the members of the Board, either individually or collectively, by writing to the Board at 2479 E. Bayshore Road, Suite 195, Palo Alto, CA 94303. These communications will be reviewed by the Secretary as agent for the non-employee directors in facilitating direct communication to the Board. The Secretary will treat communications containing complaints relating to accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters as reports under our Whistleblower Policy. Further, the Secretary will disregard communications that are bulk mail, solicitations to purchase products or services not directly related either to us or the non-employee directors’ roles as members of the Board, sent other than by stockholders in their capacities as such or from particular authors or regarding particular subjects that the non-employee directors may specify from time to time, and all other communications which do not meet the applicable requirements or criteria described below, consistent with the instructions of the non-employee directors.

General Communications. The Secretary will summarize all stockholder communications directly relating to our business operations, the Board, our officers, our activities or other matters and opportunities closely related to us. This summary and copies of the actual stockholder communications will then be circulated to the Chairman of the Governance Committee.

Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations and Recommendations. Stockholder proposals are reviewed by the Secretary for compliance with the requirements for such proposals set forth in our Bylaws and in Regulation 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Stockholder proposals that meet these requirements will be summarized by the Secretary. Summaries and copies of the stockholder proposals are circulated to the Chairman of the Governance Committee.

Stockholder nominations for directors are reviewed and summarized by the Secretary and are then circulated to the Chairman of the Governance Committee.

The Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. If a director candidate is recommended by a stockholder, the Governance Committee expects to evaluate such candidate in the same manner it evaluates director candidates it identifies. Stockholders desiring to make a recommendation to the Governance Committee should follow the procedures set forth above regarding stockholder nominations for directors.

Retention of Stockholder Communications. Any stockholder communications which are not circulated to the Chairman of the Governance Committee because they do not meet the applicable requirements or criteria described above will be retained by the Secretary for at least ninety calendar days from the date on which they are received, so that these communications may be reviewed by the directors generally if such information relates to the Board as a whole, or by any individual to whom the communication was addressed, should any director elect to do so.

Distribution of Stockholder Communications. Except as otherwise required by law or upon the request of a non-employee director, the Chairman of the Governance Committee will determine when and whether a stockholder communication should be circulated among one or more members of the Board and/or Company management.

Director Qualifications and Diversity

The Board seeks independent directors who represent a diversity of backgrounds and experiences that will enhance the quality of the Board’s deliberations and decisions. The Board is particularly interested in maintaining a mix that includes individuals who are active or retired executive officers and senior executives, particularly those with experience in technology; research and development; finance, accounting and banking; or marketing and sales.

There is no difference in the manner in which the Governance Committee evaluates nominees for directors based on whether the nominee is recommended by a stockholder. In evaluating nominations to the Board, the Governance Committee also looks for depth and breadth of experience within the Company’s industry and otherwise, outside time commitments, special areas of expertise, accounting and finance knowledge, business judgment, leadership ability, experience in developing and assessing business strategies, corporate governance expertise, and for incumbent members of the Board, the past performance of the incumbent director. Each of the candidates nominated for election to our Board was recommended by the Governance Committee.

Policy against Hedging Stock

Risk Oversight

Our Board provides risk oversight for our entire company by receiving management presentations, including risk assessments, and discussing these assessments with management. The Board’s overall risk oversight, which focuses primarily on risks and exposures associated with current matters that may present material risk to our operations, plans, prospects or reputation, is supplemented by the various committees. The Audit Committee discusses with management and our independent registered public accounting firm our risk management guidelines and policies, our major financial risk exposures and the steps taken to monitor and control such exposures. Our Compensation Committee oversees risks related to our compensation programs and discusses with management its annual assessment of our employee compensation policies and programs. Our Governance Committee oversees risks related to corporate governance and management and director succession planning.

Board Leadership Structure

The Chairman of the Board presides at all meetings of the Board, unless such position is vacant, in which case, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company presides. The office of Chairman of the Board has been vacant since September 2016.

The Company has no fixed policy with respect to the separation of the offices of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.

Inpixon Employee Stock Incentive Plans

2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan

The following is a summary of the material terms of our 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as amended to date (the “2018 Plan”). This description is not complete. For more information, we refer you to the full text of the 2018 Plan.

The 2018 Plan is an important part of our compensation program. It promotes financial saving for the future by our employees, fosters good employee relations, and encourages employees to acquire shares of our Common Stock, thereby better aligning their interests with those of the other stockholders. Therefore, the Board believes it is essential to our ability to attract, retain, and motivate highly qualified employees in an extremely competitive environment both in the United States and internationally.

Amount of Shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of our Common Stock available for issuance under the 2018 Plan automatically increases on the first day of each quarter through October 1, 2028, by a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the least of (i) 3,000,000 shares, (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, or (iii) such number of shares that may be determined by the Board. The amount of shares available for issuance is not adjusted in connection with a change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations or liquidations; provided; however, that (i) the maximum amount of shares authorized for issuance under the 2018 Plan may not exceed 653,334 shares, subject to the Board’s discretion to increase such maximum share amount and (ii) in no event will the Company issue more than 120,000,000 shares of Common Stock under the 2018 Plan, including the maximum amount of shares of Common Stock that may be added to the 2018 Plan in accordance with the automatic quarterly increases. As of the Record Date, there were 653,334 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2018 Plan (as approved by the Board and subject to the Board’s discretion to increase such share amount pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Plan) and 246,653 shares of Common Stock available for new grants.

Types of Awards. The 2018 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”), stock grants and other stock-based awards, including Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units (as defined in the 2018 Plan).

●

Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Options. The plan administrator determines the exercise price of each stock option. The exercise price of an NQSO may not be less than the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of an incentive stock option may not be less than the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant if the recipient holds 10% or less of the combined voting power of our securities, or 110% of the fair market value of a share of our Common Stock on the date of grant otherwise.

●

Stock Grants. The plan administrator may grant or sell stock, including restricted stock, to any participant, which purchase price, if any, may not be less than the par value of shares of our Common Stock. The stock grant will be subject to the conditions and restrictions determined by the administrator. The recipient of a stock grant shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of stock issued to the holder under the 2018 Plan.

●

Stock-Based Awards. The plan administrator of the 2018 Plan may grant other stock-based awards, including stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, with terms approved by the administrator, including restrictions related to the awards. The holder of a stock-based award shall not have the rights of a stockholder except to the extent permitted in the applicable agreement.

Plan Administration. Our Board is the administrator of the 2018 Plan, except to the extent it delegates its authority to a committee, in which case the committee shall be the administrator. Our Board has delegated this authority to our compensation committee. The administrator has the authority to determine the terms of awards, including exercise and purchase price, the number of shares subject to awards, the value of our Common Stock, the vesting schedule applicable to awards, the form of consideration, if any, payable upon exercise or settlement of an award and the terms of award agreements for use under the 2018 Plan.

Eligibility. The plan administrator will determine the participants in the 2018 Plan from among our employees, directors and consultants. A grant may be approved in advance with the effectiveness of the grant contingent and effective upon such person’s commencement of service within a specified period.

Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided by the administrator or in an award agreement, upon a termination of a participant’s service, all unvested options then held by the participant will terminate and all other unvested awards will be forfeited.

Transferability. Awards under the 2018 Plan may not be transferred except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, unless otherwise provided by the plan administrator in its discretion and set forth in the applicable agreement, provided that no award may be transferred for value.

Adjustment. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or reorganization or other change in change in capital structure, the plan administrator will make appropriate adjustments to the number and kind of shares of stock or securities subject to awards.

Corporate Transaction. If we are acquired, the plan administrator will: (i) arrange for the surviving entity or acquiring entity (or the surviving or acquiring entity’s parent company) to assume or continue the award or to substitute a similar award for the award; (ii) cancel or arrange for cancellation of the award, to the extent not vested or not exercised prior to the effective time of the transaction, in exchange for such cash consideration, if any, as the plan administrator in its sole discretion, may consider appropriate; or (iii) make a payment, in such form as may be determined by the plan administrator equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the value of the property the holder would have received upon the exercise of the award immediately prior to the effective time of the transaction, over (B) any exercise price payable by such holder in connection with such exercise. In addition in connection with such transaction, the plan administrator may accelerate the vesting, in whole or in part, of the award (and, if applicable, the time at which the award may be exercised) to a date prior to the effective time of such transaction and may arrange for the lapse, in whole or in part, of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by us with respect to an award.

Amendment and Termination. The 2018 Plan will terminate on January 4, 2028 or at an earlier date by vote of our Board; provided, however, that any such earlier termination shall not affect any awards granted under the 2018 Plan prior to the date of such termination. The 2018 Plan may be amended by our Board, except that our Board may not alter the terms of the 2018 Plan if it would adversely affect a participant’s rights under an outstanding stock right without the participant’s consent.

The Board may at any time amend or terminate the 2018 Plan; provided that no amendment may be made without the approval of the stockholder if such amendment would increase either the maximum number of shares which may be granted under the 2018 Plan or any specified limit on any particular type or types of award, or change the class of employees to whom an award may be granted, or withdraw the authority to administer the 2018 Plan from a committee whose members satisfy the independence and other requirements of Section 162(m) and applicable SEC and Nasdaq requirements. Pursuant to the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, certain other material revisions to the 2018 Plan may also require stockholder approval.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the 2018 Plan. The federal income tax consequences of grants under the 2018 Plan will depend on the type of grant. The following is a general summary of the principal United States federal income taxation consequences to participants and us under current law with respect to participation in the 2018 Plan. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not discuss the income tax laws of any city, state or foreign jurisdiction in which a participant may reside or the rules applicable to deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code. Our ability to realize the benefit of any tax deductions described below depends on our generation of taxable income as well as the requirement of reasonableness, the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code and the satisfaction of our tax reporting obligations.

From the grantees’ standpoint, as a general rule, ordinary income will be recognized at the time of delivery of shares of our Common Stock or payment of cash under the 2018 Plan. Future appreciation on shares of our Common Stock held beyond the ordinary income recognition event will be taxable as capital gain when the shares of our Common Stock are sold. The tax rate applicable to capital gain will depend upon how long the grantee holds the shares. We, as a general rule, will be entitled to a tax deduction that corresponds in time and amount to the ordinary income recognized by the grantee, and we will not be entitled to any tax deduction with respect to capital gain income recognized by the grantee.

Exceptions to these general rules arise under the following circumstances:

●

If shares of our Common Stock, when delivered, are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture by reason of any employment or performance-related condition, ordinary income taxation and our tax deduction will be delayed until the risk of forfeiture lapses, unless the grantee makes a special election to accelerate taxation under section 83(b) of the Code.

●

If an employee exercises a stock option that qualifies as an ISO, no ordinary income will be recognized, and we will not be entitled to any tax deduction, if shares of our Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the stock option are held until the later of (A) one year from the date of exercise and (B) two years from the date of grant. However, if the employee disposes of the shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO before satisfying both holding period requirements, the employee will recognize ordinary income at the time of the disposition equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise (or the amount realized on the disposition, if less) and the exercise price, and we will be entitled to a tax deduction in that amount. The gain, if any, in excess of the amount recognized as ordinary income will be long-term or short-term capital gain, depending upon the length of time the employee held the shares before the disposition.

●

A grant may be subject to a 20% tax, in addition to ordinary income tax, at the time the grant becomes vested, plus interest, if the grant constitutes deferred compensation under section 409A of the Code and the requirements of section 409A of the Code are not satisfied.

Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a publicly held corporation’s tax deduction for compensation paid to its chief executive officer or certain other officers in excess of $1 million in any year. Qualified performance-based compensation is excluded from the $1 million deductibility limit, and therefore remains fully deductible by the corporation that pays it. Stock units, stock awards, dividend equivalents, and other stock-based awards granted under the 2018 Plan may be designated as qualified performance-based compensation if the Committee conditions such grants on the achievement of specific performance goals in accordance with the requirements of section 162(m) of the Code.

We have the right to require that grantees pay to us an amount necessary for us to satisfy our federal, state or local tax withholding obligations with respect to grants. We may withhold from other amounts payable to a grantee an amount necessary to satisfy these obligations. The Committee may permit a grantee to satisfy our withholding obligation with respect to grants paid in shares of our Common Stock by having shares withheld, at the time the grants become taxable, provided that the number of shares withheld does not exceed the individual’s minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal, state and local tax liabilities.

2011 Employee Stock Incentive Plan

Except as set forth below, the material terms of our 2011 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as amended to date (the “2011 Plan”) are substantially similar to the material terms of the 2018 Plan. However, this description is not complete. For more information, we refer you to the full text of the 2011 Plan.

The 2011 Plan was intended to encourage ownership of Common Stock by our employees and directors and certain of our consultants in order to attract and retain such people, to induce them to work for the benefit of us and to provide additional incentive for them to promote our success. The 2011 Plan (but not awards granted under the 2011 Plan) terminated in accordance with its terms on August 31, 2021 and no new awards will be issued under the 2011 Plan.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Review, Approval, or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons.

The Board reviews issues involving potential conflicts of interest, and reviews and approves all related party transactions, including those required to be disclosed as a “related party” transaction under applicable federal securities laws. The Board has not adopted any specific procedures for conducting reviews of potential conflicts of interest and considers each transaction in light of the specific facts and circumstances presented. However, to the extent a potential related party transaction is presented to the Board, the Company expects that the Board would become fully informed regarding the potential transaction and the interests of the related party, and would have the opportunity to deliberate outside of the presence of the related party. The Company expects that the Board would only approve a related party transaction that was in the best interests of the Company, and further would seek to ensure that any completed related party transaction was on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained in a transaction with an unaffiliated third party. Other than as described below, no transaction requiring disclosure under applicable federal securities laws occurred since fiscal year 2020 that was submitted to the Board for approval as a “related party” transaction.

Related Party Transactions

SEC regulations define the related person transactions that require disclosure to include any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years in which we were or are to be a participant and in which a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A related person is: (i) an executive officer, director or director nominee, (ii) a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Common Stock, (iii) an immediate family member of an executive officer, director or director nominee or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Common Stock, or (iv) any entity that is owned or controlled by any of the foregoing persons or in which any of the foregoing persons has a substantial ownership interest or control.

For the period from January 1, 2020, through the date of this Proxy Statement, described below are certain transactions or series of transactions between us and certain related persons.

Sysorex Transactions

Nadir Ali, Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board, was a member of the board of directors of Sysorex, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Sysorex”), at the time of the reported transactions. Mr. Ali resigned as a member of the board of directors of Sysorex on May 14, 2021.

Sysorex Securities Settlement Agreement

On April 14, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Settlement Agreement (the “SSA”) and a Rights Letter Agreement (the “RLA”), each with Sysorex, whereby Sysorex agreed to satisfy in full its outstanding debt, in the aggregate amount of $9,088,176 as of March 31, 2021, owed to the Company under that certain secured promissory note, originally dated December 31, 2018, as amended from time to time (the “Sysorex Note”), and in connection with that certain settlement agreement, dated February 20, 2019, by and among the Company, Sysorex and Atlas Technology Group, LLC (the “Debt Settlement”). To effect the Debt Settlement, Sysorex agreed to issue to the Company (i) pursuant to the terms of the SSA, 12,972,189 shares of its common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, and (ii) rights to acquire 3,000,000 additional shares of its common stock pursuant to the terms of the RLA. The Debt Settlement was entered into in connection with Sysorex’s closing of a reverse triangular merger with TTM Digital Assets & Technologies, Inc.

The Company recorded $7.5 million for the release of the previously recorded valuation allowance, $1.6 million of interest income, and a gain on settlement of $49.8 million equal to the difference in the carry value of the promissory note, including interest and value of the common stock and rights to acquire additional shares received in the settlement.

In connection with the Debt Settlement, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of April 14, 2021 (the “RRA”), with Sysorex and certain other stockholders of Sysorex (the “Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the RRA, Sysorex must, subject to certain limitations, register the resale of the shares of common stock held by the Company and the Holders, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Also, under the RRA, if Sysorex determines to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering of any of its equity securities, for its own account or the account of others, then the Company and the Holders will have the right, subject to certain limitations, to require Sysorex to include in such registration statement all or any part of the shares of common stock held by them.

Systat License Acquisition

On June 30, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Exclusive Software License and Distribution Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2020, with an effective date of June 1, 2020 (as amended, the “License Agreement”), with Cranes Software International Ltd., a company organized under the laws of India (“Cranes”), and Systat Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Systat,” and together with Cranes, the “Systat Parties”), the Company acquired (a) an exclusive, worldwide license to use, modify, develop, market and distribute certain software, software source, user documentation and related Systat intellectual property and (b) an exclusive, worldwide sub-license to use, modify, develop, market and distribute software, software source, user documentation and related intellectual property licensed to Systat by Cranes (collectively, the “Licenses”).

In addition, Tanveer Khader and Kareem Irfan, members of the Board, are also related parties in connection with the acquisition of the Licenses as a result of their respective employment relationships with the Systat Parties.

Inpixon Canada Promissory Note

On August 12, 2019, prior to the acquisition of Jibestream, the Company loaned Jibestream $140,600 for operating expenses. The note accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum and has a maturity date of December 31, 2020. However, upon the acquisition of Jibestream by Inpixon Canada, Inpixon Canada assumed the loan through consolidation. As of June 30, 2021, the principal and interest of the Jibestream note and the other amounts advanced to Inpixon Canada by the Company totaled $14,290,529.

Subscription of Units of, and Loan to, Cardinal Venture Holdings

On September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Cardinal Venture Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CVH”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to (i) contribute up to $1,800,000 (the “Contribution”) to CVH and (ii) purchase up to 599,999 Class A Units of CVH (the “Class A Units”) and up to 1,800,000 Class B Units of CVH (the “Class B Units,” and, together with the Class A Units, the “Units”). The aggregate purchase price of $1,800,000 for the Units is deemed to be satisfied in part through the Contribution.

The Company is a member of CVH. CVH owns certain interests in KINS Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the sponsor entity (the “Sponsor”) to KINS Technology Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation and publicly traded special purpose acquisition company (Nasdaq: KINZ; KINZW) (“KINS”) formed for the purpose of pursuing an initial public offering of its securities followed by effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Contribution was used by CVH to fund the Sponsor’s purchase of securities in KINS.

Nadir Ali, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, beneficially owns membership interests in CVH through 3AM LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a founding member of CVH (“3AM”), which may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to manage the affairs of CVH.

Concurrently with the Company’s entry into the Subscription Agreement, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of CVH (the “LLC Agreement”), dated as of September 30, 2020. Under the terms of the LLC Agreement, in the event the managing member can no longer manage CVH’s affairs due to his death, disability or incapacity, 3AM will serve as CVH’s replacement managing member. Except as may be required by law, the Company, as a non-managing member under the LLC Agreement, does not have any voting rights and generally cannot take part in the management or control of CVH’s business and affairs.

On December 16, 2020, the Company entered into a second Subscription Agreement with CVH, pursuant to which the Company agreed to (i) contribute $700,000 (the “Additional Contribution”) to CVH and (ii) purchase 700,000 Class B Units. The aggregate purchase price of $700,000 for the Class B Units is deemed to be satisfied through the Additional Contribution. Following the closing of the Additional Contribution, the Company owns an aggregate of 599,999 Class A Units and 2,500,000 Class B Units.

Additionally, on July 1, 2022, the Company loaned $150,000 to CVH. The loan bears no interest and is due and payable in full on the earlier of: (i) the date by which KINS has to complete a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”), and (ii) immediately prior to the date of consummation of the Business Combination of KINS, unless accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default.

Proposed Business Combination with KINS Technology Group Inc.

As previously disclosed by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 26, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of September 25, 2022, by and among the Company, KINS, CXApp Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation and newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“CXApp”), and KINS Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of KINS (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which KINS will acquire the Company’s enterprise apps business (including its workplace experience technologies, indoor mapping, events platform, augmented reality and related business solutions) (the “Enterprise Apps Business”) in exchange for the issuance of shares of KINS capital stock valued at $69 million (the “Business Combination”). The proposed Business Combination is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Immediately prior to the Merger (as defined below) and pursuant to a Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2022, by and among KINS, the Company, CXApp and Design Reactor, Inc., a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Design Reactor”) (the “Separation Agreement”), and other ancillary conveyance documents, the Company will, among other things and on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Separation Agreement, transfer the Enterprise Apps Business, including certain related subsidiaries of the Company, including Design Reactor, to CXApp, and, in connection therewith, will distribute (the “Distribution”) to the Company’s stockholders and other security holders 100% of the common stock of CXApp, par value $0.00001.

Immediately following the Distribution, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into CXApp (the “Merger”), with CXApp continuing as the surviving company in the Merger and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of KINS.

Proposal ONE:
Election Of Directors

Nominees for Election

Our business affairs are managed under the direction of our Board, which is currently composed of five members. Three of our directors are independent according to the independent director requirements of Nasdaq. Our directors serve for one-year terms.

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to elect the following five directors to serve until the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified:

●

Nadir Ali

●

Wendy Loundermon

●

Leonard Oppenheim

●

Kareem Irfan

●

Tanveer Khader

If a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, then nominees will be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors.

In the event that any nominee for any reason is unable to serve, or for good cause will not serve, the proxies will be voted for such substitute nominee as our Board may determine. We are not aware of any nominee who will be unable to serve, or for good cause will not serve, as a director.

Unless otherwise provided by law, any vacancy on the Board, except for a vacancy created by the removal of a director, may be filled by the stockholders, by a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. A vacancy in the Board created by the removal of a director may only be filled by the vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present, or by the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares.

The relevant experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills of each nominee that led our Board to recommend the above persons as a nominee for director are described in the section entitled “Executive Officers, Directors, and Corporate Governance.”

Vote Required

The nominees will be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote in the election. You may choose to vote FOR, AGAINST, or ABSTAIN separately for each nominee. If your shares are held by a broker and you do not give the broker specific instructions on how to vote your shares, your broker may not vote your shares at its discretion. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

***THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR”
EACH OF THE NOMINEES LISTED ABOVE***

PROPOSAL TWO:
Ratification of THE Appointment of OUR Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Marcum has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2012.

Stockholder ratification of the selection of Marcum as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our Bylaws or the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”). The Board seeks such ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. Should the stockholders fail to ratify the selection of Marcum as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Board will reconsider whether to retain that firm for fiscal year 2022. In making its recommendation to the Board that stockholders ratify the appointment of Marcum as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, the Audit Committee considered whether Marcum’s provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee pre-approved the audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and all other fees described below in accordance with our pre-approval policy and believes such fees are compatible with the independence of Marcum. Set forth below are approximate fees for services rendered by Marcum LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

	2021		2020
Audit Fees	$	332,039	$	355,024
Audit Related Fees	$	174,343	$	—
Tax Fees	$	—	$	—
All Other Fees	$	—	$	—

Audit Fees. The “Audit Fees” are the aggregate fees of Marcum attributable to professional services rendered in 2021 and 2020 for the audit of our annual financial statements, for review of financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or for services that are normally provided by Marcum in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for that fiscal year. These fees include fees billed for professional services rendered by Marcum for the review of registration statements or services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years.

Audit-Related Fees. Marcum billed us for professional services that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements in 2021 and 2020, which are not included under Audit Fees above including the filing of our registration statements, including our Registration Statement on Form S-3. This amount also includes audit fees related to acquisitions.

Tax Fees. Marcum did not perform any tax advice or planning services in 2021 or 2020.

All Other Fees. Marcum did not perform any services for us or charge any fees other than the services described above in 2021 and 2020.

Pre-approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee is required to review and approve in advance the retention of the independent auditors for the performance of all audit and lawfully permitted non-audit services and the fees for such services. The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to grant pre-approvals for the performance of non-audit services, and any such Audit Committee member who pre-approves a non-audit service must report the pre-approval to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee is required to periodically notify the Board of their approvals. The required pre-approval policies and procedures were complied with during 2021.

Marcum LLP Representatives at Annual Meeting

We expect that representatives of Marcum will be present at the Annual Meeting. They will be given the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and they will be available to respond to appropriate questions after the meeting.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting representing a majority of the votes cast on such matter will be required for the ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal. Brokers generally have discretionary authority to vote on the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm, thus, broker non-votes are not expected to result from the vote on this proposal.

***THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR”
THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF MARCUM LLP***

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of the Board has:

●

reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 with management;

●

discussed with the Company’s independent auditors the matters required to be discussed under Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 1301; and

●

received the written disclosures and letter from the independent auditors required by the applicable requirements of the Public Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent auditors communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Marcum LLP matters relating to its independence.

In reliance on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the consolidated financial statements audited by Marcum LLP for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for such fiscal year.

PROPOSAL THREE:
APPROVAL OF THE AUTHORIZED SHARE INCREASE

Background

Our Board has determined that it is advisable and in our and our stockholders’ best interests to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 26,666,667 to 500,000,000 shares (the “Share Increase Proposal”). Accordingly, stockholders are asked to approve an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effectuate such increase.

The Board strongly believes that the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is necessary to provide us with resources and flexibility with respect to our capital sufficient to execute our business plans and strategy. Accordingly, the Board has unanimously approved a resolution proposing such amendment to our Articles of Incorporation and directed that it be submitted for approval at the Annual Meeting.

The text of the form of the proposed Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, which assumes the approval of this proposal, is attached hereto as Annex A.

Of the 26,666,667 shares of Common Stock currently authorized, as adjusted for the Reverse Split, 2,179,663 shares of Common Stock were outstanding as of the Record Date, on a post-Reverse Split basis, in addition to the following:

●

22 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options under our 2011 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, having a weighted average exercise price of $94,768,728.22 per share;

●

363,713 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options under the Company’s 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, having a weighted average exercise price of $80.53 per share;

●

1 share of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options not under our 2011 or 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, having a weighted average exercise price of $146,450,902.50 per share;

●

246,653 shares of Common Stock available for future issuance under our 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan and any other additional shares of our Common Stock that may become available under our 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan;

●

12 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants at an exercise price of $405,000.00 per share;

●

363 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants at an exercise price of $85,590.00 per share;

●

849 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants at an exercise price of $16,740.00 per share;

●

34 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants at an exercise price of $11,238.75 per share;

●

73 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Series A warrants at an exercise price of $936.5625 per share;

●

232,675 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants at an exercise price of $93.75 per share;

●

1,503,726 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants at an exercise price of $35.3775 per share;

●

1 share of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of 1 outstanding share of Series 4 Convertible Preferred Stock, at a conversion price of $16,740.00 per share;

●

12 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 126 outstanding shares of Series 5 Convertible Preferred Stock, at a conversion price of $11,238.75 per share;

●

approximately 1,503,726 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 53,197.7234 outstanding shares of Series 8 Convertible Preferred Stock, at a conversion price of $35.3775 per share; and

●

rights to receive an aggregate of 52,513 shares of Common Stock.

Reasons for the Proposed Increase in Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock

To provide us with resources and flexibility with respect to our capital sufficient to execute our business plans and strategy. The increase in authorized shares of Common Stock will provide us greater flexibility with respect to our capital structure for various purposes as the need may arise from time to time. These purposes may include: raising capital, establishing strategic relationships with other companies, expanding our business through the acquisition of other businesses or products and providing equity incentives to employees, officers or directors. Approval of this proposal would enable us to respond promptly to, and take advantage of, market conditions and other favorable opportunities without incurring the delay and expense associated with calling a special stockholders’ meeting to approve a contemplated stock issuance. Our management and Board believe it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to have the flexibility provided by an increase in the number of shares of authorized Common Stock.

Principal Effects of Increase in Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock

If stockholders approve this Proposal Three, the additional authorized shares of Common Stock will have rights identical to the currently outstanding shares of our Common Stock. The proposed amendment will not affect the par value of the Common Stock, which will remain at $0.001 per share. Approval of this Proposal Three and issuance of the additional authorized shares of Common Stock would not affect the rights of the holders of currently outstanding shares of our Common Stock, except for effects incidental to increasing the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, such as dilution of any earnings per share and voting rights of current holders of Common Stock.

The additional authorized shares of Common Stock, by the approval of this Proposal Three, could be issued by our Board without further vote of our stockholders except as may be required in particular cases by our Articles of Incorporation, the NRS or other applicable law, regulatory agencies or Nasdaq Listing Rules. Stockholders do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional securities that we may issue, which means that current stockholders do not have a prior right thereunder to purchase any new issue of Common Stock, or securities that are convertible into Common Stock, in order to maintain their proportionate ownership interests in the Company.

Our stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ or appraisal rights under the NRS with respect to the proposed amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and we will not independently provide the stockholders with any such right if the increase is implemented.

The proposed amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect. The additional shares of Common Stock that would become available for issuance, if this Proposal Three is approved, could also be used by us to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or to delay or prevent changes in control or our management. For example, without further stockholder approval, the Board could adopt a “poison pill” which would, under certain circumstances related to an acquisition of our securities not approved by the Board, give certain holders the right to acquire additional shares of Common Stock at a low price, or the Board could strategically sell shares of Common Stock in a private transaction to purchasers who would oppose a takeover or favor the current Board.

Although this proposal to increase the authorized Common Stock has been prompted by business and financial considerations and not by the threat of any hostile takeover attempt (nor is the Board currently aware of any such attempts directed at us), nevertheless, stockholders should be aware that approval of this Proposal Three could facilitate future efforts by us to deter or prevent changes in control, including transactions in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.

This proposal will be effective upon its approval by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting and is not conditioned upon the approval by our stockholders of any other proposal. As each proposal will be presented to our stockholders at the Annual Meeting in the order presented herein, if this proposal is approved by our stockholders, it will become effective.

No Appraisal Rights

Under the NRS, stockholders are not entitled to rights of appraisal with respect to Proposal Three, and we will not independently provide our stockholders with any such right.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting representing a majority of the voting power will be required for approval of this proposal. Accordingly, abstentions will have the same legal effect as a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Brokers generally have discretionary authority to vote on the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, thus, broker non-votes are not expected to result from the vote on this proposal.

AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF
AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK TO 500,000,000***

PROPOSAL FOUR:
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT of 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan

Background and Purpose of the Amendment

The Company’s Board of Directors adopted Inpixon 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) on January 4, 2018. The 2018 Plan was approved by our stockholders at the Company’s Annual Meeting on February 2, 2018. The 2018 Plan was subsequently amended on May 17, 2018, on October 31, 2018, on October 31, 2019, August 10, 2020 and November 16, 2021.

In order to provide the Company with the flexibility to extend the period in which an individual whose service has been terminated (other than by reason of such individual’s death or total disability, or for cause) may exercise his or her stock options after termination, on October 5, 2022, the Board adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to the 2018 Plan that would allow such individual and the compensation committee, as administrator of the 2018 Plan, to agree to extend the individual’s post-termination stock option exercise period beyond the default three month period currently permitted under the 2018 Plan.

If stockholder approval is obtained, such amendment will be effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting. Following such approval, the Board may, for administrative purposes, amend and restate the 2018 Plan to solely restate and integrate all prior amendments to the 2018 Plan, approved to date. If the amendment to the 2018 Plan is not approved by the stockholders, awards will continue to be made under the 2018 Plan as currently in effect to the extent shares are available.

The Company believes that equity-based compensation is a critical part of its compensation program. Stockholder approval of the amended Plan would allow us to continue to attract and retain talented employees, consultants and directors with equity incentives.

Material Terms of the Plan

The summary of the material features of the 2018 Plan and its operation is contained in this Proxy Statement (See “2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan” under “Executive Compensation”). The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2018 Plan which is incorporated by reference to (i) Exhibits 10.5, 10.30 and 10.38 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2022 and (ii) the amendment, which is attached hereto as Annex B.

Vote Required

***THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT
STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT OF 2018
EMPLOYEE STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN***

PROPOSAL FIVE:
AUTHORIZATION TO ADJOURN THE ANNUAL MEETING

If the Annual Meeting is convened and a quorum is present, but there are not sufficient votes to approve the foregoing proposals described in this Proxy Statement, the Company may move to adjourn the Annual Meeting at that time in order to enable our Board of Directors to solicit additional proxies.

In this Proposal Five, we are asking our stockholders to authorize the Company to adjourn the Annual Meeting to another time and place, if necessary or advisable, to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes to approve the forgoing proposals, each as described in this Proxy Statement. If our stockholders approve this Proposal Five, we could adjourn the Annual Meeting and any adjourned session of the Annual Meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders that have previously voted. Among other things, approval of this proposal could mean that, even if we had received proxies representing a sufficient number of votes to defeat the forgoing proposals, we could adjourn the Annual Meeting without a vote on such proposals and seek to convince our stockholders to change their votes in favor of such proposals.

If it is necessary or advisable to adjourn the Annual Meeting, no notice of the adjourned meeting is required to be given to our stockholders, other than an announcement at the Annual Meeting of the time and place to which the Annual Meeting is adjourned, so long as the meeting is adjourned for 60 days or less and no new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, we may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting representing a majority of the votes cast on such matter will be required for the approval of this proposal. Abstentions will not be treated as votes cast for or against the proposal, and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. Brokers generally have discretionary authority to vote on the adjournment of the annual meeting, thus, broker non-votes are not expected to result from the vote on this proposal.

***OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A “FOR” VOTE
FOR THIS PROPOSAL TO AUTHORIZE THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE ANNUAL MEETING***

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO STOCKHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

We and some brokers have adopted “householding,” a procedure under which stockholders who have the same address will receive a single Notice of Internet Availability or set of proxy materials, unless one or more of these stockholders provides notice that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards. This procedure can result in significant savings to the Company by reducing printing and postage costs. If you participate in householding and wish to receive a separate Notice of Internet Availability or set of proxy materials, or if you wish to receive separate copies of future Notices, annual reports and proxy statements, please call or write to: Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, telephone number 1-800-579-1639, or Wendy Loundermon, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of Inpixon, 2479 E. Bayshore Road, Suite 195, Palo Alto, CA 94303, telephone number (703) 665-0585. We will deliver the requested documents to you promptly upon your request. Stockholders who share an address and receive multiple copies of the Notice of Internet Availability or proxy materials can also request to receive a single copy by following the instructions above.

Requirements For Advance Notification of Nominations
and Stockholder Proposals

Stockholder proposals submitted to us pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act for inclusion in our Proxy Statement and form of proxy for our 2023 Annual Meeting of stockholders must be received by us no later than June 20, 2023, which is 120 calendar days before the one-year anniversary of the date on which the Company first mailed this Proxy Statement, and must comply with the requirements of the proxy rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Stockholder proposals should be addressed to our Secretary at 2479 E. Bayshore Road, Suite 195, Palo Alto, CA 94303. However, in the event that the Company holds its 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders more than 30 days before or 30 days after the one-year anniversary date of the 2022 Annual Meeting, the Company will disclose the new deadline by which stockholder proposals must be received.

Recommendations from stockholders which are received after the deadline likely will not be considered timely for consideration by the Company for next year’s annual meeting.

Other Matters

The Board does not intend to bring any other matters before the Annual Meeting and has no reason to believe any other matters will be presented. If other matters properly do come before the Annual Meeting, however, it is the intention of the persons named as proxy agents in the enclosed proxy card to vote on such matters as recommended by the Board or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion.

It is important that your shares be represented at the Annual Meeting, regardless of the number of shares that you hold. You are, therefore, urged to vote by telephone or by using the Internet as instructed on the proxy card or, if so requested, by executing and returning, at your earliest convenience, the requested proxy card in the envelope that will have been provided. If you have any questions, or proxy solicitor can be reached via toll-free number: (800) 515-4507.

In the event that the service of an individual to whom a Stock Option has been granted under the Plan shall terminate (otherwise than by reason of such individual’s death or total disability, or for cause), such option may be exercised (if and to the extent that such individual was entitled to do so at the date of termination of such individual’s service) at any time within three months after such termination (unless such individual and the Committee agree to extend such period beyond three months), but in no event after the expiration of the term of the option. No option granted under the Plan may be exercised by a participant following termination of such participant’s employment for cause. “Termination for cause” shall mean dismissal for dishonesty, conviction or confession of a crime punishable by law (except minor violations), fraud, misconduct or disclosure of confidential information. If the service of an individual to whom a Stock Option has been granted under the Plan shall be suspended pending an investigation of whether or not the individual shall be terminated for cause, all of the individuals rights under any option granted hereunder likewise shall be suspended during the period of investigation.”

3. Section 4.5. Section 4.5 is hereby amended and restated with the following:

“Death or Total Disability of a Stock Option Holder.

In the event of the death or total disability of an individual to whom a Stock Option has been granted under the Plan (i) while serving as an Eligible Person; or (ii) within three months after the termination of such service (or within the additional time period agreed upon by the individual and the Committee pursuant to Section 4.4), other than for cause, such option may be exercised (if and to the extent that the deceased individual was entitled to do so at the date of such individual’s death or total disability) by a legatee or legatees of such participant under such individual’s last will and testament or by such individual’s personal representatives or distributees, at any time within twelve months after such individual’s death or total disability, but in no event after the expiration of the term of the option.”

4. In all other respects, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall remain the same.
