EXPLANATORY NOTE

The 2018 Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2018 Plan”), includes a quarterly evergreen provision that provides for automatic quarterly increases in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan (the “Quarterly Increases”). In addition, the 2018 Plan provides that the amount of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), of Inpixon (the “Registrant”) that may be issued under the 2018 Plan will not be reduced 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.

On April 27, 2018, January 25, 2019, April 19, 2019, November 1, 2019, April 13, 2020, June 4, 2021 and November 22, 2021, the Registrant filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) Registration Statements on Form S-8, Registration Nos. 333-224506, 333-229374, 333-230965, 333-234458, 333-237659, 333-256831, and 333-261282, respectively (collectively, the “Prior Registration Statements”), relating to shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan.

The Registrant is filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register an additional 19,164,297 shares of Common Stock under the 2018 Plan as a result of Quarterly Increases, which is comprised of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable a result of the Quarterly Increase that occurred on January 1, 2022, 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable a result of the Quarterly Increase that occurred on April 1, 2022, 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable a result of the Quarterly Increase that occurred on July 1, 2022, 450,119 shares of Common Stock issuable a result of the Quarterly Increase that occurred on October 1, 2022, 714,178 shares of Common Stock issuable a result of the Quarterly Increase that occurred on January 1, 2023, 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable a result of the Quarterly Increase that occurred on April 1, 2023, 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable a result of the Quarterly Increase that occurred on July 1, 2023 and 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable a result of the Quarterly Increase that occurred on October 1, 2023. In addition, the Registrant is filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register an additional 39,486,668 shares of Common Stock that have not previously been registered but are available for issuance as a result of the 1-for-75 reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, effective as of October 7, 2022.

This Registration Statement is submitted in accordance with General Instruction E to Form S-8 regarding registration of additional securities. Pursuant to Instruction E, the contents of the Prior Registration Statements are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Registration Statement, except as amended hereby.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Registrant” refer collectively to Inpixon.

The Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) provide that we may indemnify our officers and directors against losses or liabilities which arise in their corporate capacity. The effect of these provisions could be to dissuade lawsuits against our officers and directors.

Section 78.7502 of NRS provides that:

(1) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or as a manager of a limited-liability company, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if the person: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.

(2) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or as a manager of a limited-liability company, against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if the person: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of any appeals taken therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

(3) Any discretionary indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to NRS 78.751(2), may be made by the corporation only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination that the indemnification of a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation is proper under the circumstances. The determination must be made by: (a) the stockholders; (b) the board of directors, by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; or (c) independent legal counsel, in a written opinion, if: (1) a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders; or (2) a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained.

NRS 78.751 provides that:

(1) A corporation shall indemnify any person who is a director, officer, employee or agent to the extent that the person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of: (a) any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including, without limitation, an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; or (b) any claim, issue or matter therein, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with defending the action, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees.

(2) Unless otherwise restricted by the articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation, the corporation may pay the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may require the corporation to pay such expenses upon receipt of such an undertaking. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.

(3) The indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.751 and NRS 78.7502 and the advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section: (a) does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in the person’s official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to NRS 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to NRS 78.751(2), may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of any appeals taken therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, and such misconduct, fraud or violation was material to the cause of action; and (b) continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(4) Unless the articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by a corporation provide otherwise, if a person is entitled to indemnification or the advancement of expenses from the corporation and any other person, the corporation is the primary obligor with respect to such indemnification or advancement.

(5) A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the articles of incorporation or any bylaw is not eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such act or omission has occurred.

NRS 78.752 empowers a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and the liability and expenses incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the authority to indemnify such person against such liabilities and expenses.

Article VI of our Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, states that the Registrant will indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (whether or not by or in the right of the Registrant) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director of the Registrant or is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity at the request of the Registrant or any predecessor of the Registrant against judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid in settlement and costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) that he or she incurs in connection with such action or proceeding.

Article X of our Bylaws, as amended, provides that every person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or a person of whom he is the legal representative is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant or for its benefit as a director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent permissible by the Nevada Revised Statutes from time to time against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by him in connection therewith, except any expense or payments incurred in connection with any claim or liability established to have arisen out of his own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if this Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
