XTI Aerospace, Inc.

We face a number of significant risks and uncertainties in connection with our operations. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by these risks. In addition to the risk factors set forth below and the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2025, which report is incorporated by reference herein, all of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results.

Adverse judgments or settlements in legal proceedings could materially harm our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

We may be a party to claims that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, which may include those related to, for example, our securities offerings, contracts, sub-contracts, protection of confidential information or trade secrets, adversary proceedings arising from customer bankruptcies, employment of our workforce and immigration requirements or compliance with any of a wide array of state and federal statutes, rules and regulations that pertain to different aspects of our business.

Additionally, we are and we may be made a party to future claims relating to the XTI Merger. On December 6, 2023, Xeriant, Inc. (“Xeriant”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Legacy XTI, two unnamed entities, and five unnamed individuals. On January 31, 2024, Xeriant filed an amended complaint adding the Company as a defendant. On February 29, 2024, Xeriant filed a second amended complaint, removing the Company and one of the unnamed entities as defendants. The second amended complaint alleges that Legacy XTI breached several agreements with Xeriant, including a Joint Venture Agreement dated May 31, 2021, a cross-patent license agreement, an operating agreement, and a letter dated May 17, 2022, which Xeriant claims arose from its introduction of Legacy XTI to a Nasdaq-listed company as a potential acquirer. Xeriant alleges that it provided intellectual property, expertise, and capital in connection with Legacy XTI’s TriFan 600 aircraft and that it was improperly excluded from a subsequent transaction involving the TriFan 600 technology as part of Legacy XTI’s merger with the Company. Xeriant asserts causes of action including breach of contract, fraud, unjust enrichment, and misappropriation of confidential information. It seeks damages in excess of $500 million, injunctive relief, a royalty obligation, and other equitable relief. On March 13, 2024, Legacy XTI moved to dismiss portions of the second amended complaint. The Court denied that motion on January 14, 2025. Legacy XTI filed an answer on January 28, 2025, and subsequently filed an amended answer and counterclaims on February 18, 2025. The amended counterclaims, further amended on April 14, 2025, allege that Xeriant breached the Joint Venture Agreement by failing to make required capital contributions of approximately $4.6 million and by failing to deliver promised intellectual property and strategic support. Legacy XTI further alleges that Xeriant breached its fiduciary duty by engaging in coercive and self-dealing conduct, including conditioning a strategic introduction on the issuance of equity and assumption of debt. Legacy XTI seeks declaratory relief confirming that the joint venture has been terminated, that all intellectual property related to the TriFan 600 belongs solely to Legacy XTI, and that Xeriant has no rights in the TriFan 600 technology. Xeriant has moved to dismiss Legacy XTI’s amended counterclaims, and that motion remains pending. The Court has denied Xeriant’s renewed motion to stay discovery. On July 10, 2025, XTI filed a letter motion requesting a conference to address: (i) ongoing deficiencies in Xeriant’s discovery responses; and (ii) Xeriant’s untimely service of discovery requests on XTI, which were served more than three months after the applicable deadline. The Court granted XTI’s letter motion on the same day, and held a conference on July 18, 2025. During the conference, the Court ordered: (i) an extension of all discovery deadlines by three months, through November 24, 2025; (ii) an extension of expert discovery through February 16, 2026; and (iii) that the parties finalize a protective order and Electronically Stored Information (“ESI”) protocol by July 25, 2025. The parties subsequently submitted a stipulated protective order and ESI protocol, which the Court entered on July 28, 2025. The parties are continuing to exchange written discovery and will be conducting depositions. The litigation remains in the early stages of discovery. The Company believes the claims against Legacy XTI are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend against them. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter or estimate the likelihood or magnitude of a potential loss, if any.

In connection with the litigation matter described in the immediately preceding paragraph, on June 12, 2024, the Company received correspondence from legal counsel for Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus”), dated April 3, 2024, asserting that the Company and/or Legacy XTI may have assumed Xeriant’s obligations under a Senior Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) issued by Xeriant to Auctus in the original principal amount of $6,050,000, pursuant to a letter agreement dated May 17, 2022, between Xeriant and Legacy XTI (the “May 17 letter”). Auctus claimed that the outstanding amount due under the Note, including accrued interest, was $8,435,008.81 as of April 3, 2024. In July 2024, Legacy XTI responded to Auctus’s claims, asserting that the May 17 letter is invalid and unenforceable on multiple grounds. Legacy XTI further stated that, even if the May 17 letter were enforceable, it did not create or trigger any obligation for Legacy XTI to assume Xeriant’s debt under the Note or otherwise. On May 13, 2025, Auctus filed a lawsuit against Legacy XTI in the District Court of Arapahoe County, Colorado, asserting a single claim for breach of contract based on its prior allegations. Auctus contends that Legacy XTI is contractually obligated to repay nearly $9 million in principal and accrued interest, based on Legacy XTI’s entry into a loan agreement with Legacy Inpixon in March 2023 and its subsequent merger with Legacy Inpixon in March 2024. On June 25, 2025, Legacy XTI filed a motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, to stay the proceedings pending resolution of the Xeriant litigation. Legacy XTI’s motion asserts that Auctus’ complaint should be dismissed: (i) for lack of standing, because Auctus is neither a party to, nor a third-party beneficiary of, the May 17 letter; (ii) for failure of a condition precedent, because no obligation ever arose in that the alleged triggering condition—a business combination involving Legacy XTI and Legacy Inpixon did not occur within the required one-year time frame; (iii) for lack of valid assignment, because Xeriant’s unilateral assignment of debt to Legacy XTI is void because the underlying Note prohibits assignment without Auctus’s prior written consent, which is not alleged. On August 5, 2025, Auctus filed a response arguing that it was an intended third-party beneficiary of the May 17 letter, that the anti-assignment clause does not bar its claims, and that the request for a stay is unwarranted because the Xeriant litigation involves different parties and broader claims. XTI believes it has strong counterarguments and will file a reply in further support of its motion to dismiss or stay. The litigation remains in the early stages of discovery. The Company believes that the claims asserted by Auctus are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the lawsuit. As of the date of this filing, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter or determine the likelihood or magnitude of a potential loss, if any.

Regardless of the merits of any particular claim, responding to such actions could divert time, resources and management’s attention away from our business operations, and we may incur significant expenses in defending these lawsuits or other similar lawsuits. The results of litigation and other legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and adverse judgments or settlements in some of these legal disputes may result in adverse monetary damages, penalties or injunctive relief against us, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Any claims or litigation, even if fully indemnified or insured, could damage our reputation and make it more difficult to compete effectively or to obtain adequate insurance in the future.

Furthermore, while we maintain insurance for certain potential liabilities, such insurance does not cover all types and amounts of potential liabilities and is subject to various exclusions as well as deductibles and caps on amounts of coverage. Even if we believe a claim is covered by insurance, insurers may dispute our entitlement to coverage for a variety of potential reasons, which may affect the timing and, if the insurers prevail, the amount of our available insurance coverage for a particular claim.

We may also be required to initiate expensive litigation or other proceedings to protect our business interests. There is a risk that we will not be successful or otherwise be able to satisfactorily resolve such claims or litigation. Litigation and other legal claims are subject to inherent uncertainties. Those uncertainties include, but are not limited to, litigation costs and attorneys’ fees, unpredictable judicial or jury decisions and the differing laws and judicial proclivities regarding damage awards among the states in which we operate. Unexpected outcomes in such legal proceedings, or changes in management’s evaluation or predictions of the likely outcomes of such proceedings, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Our current financial status may increase our default and litigation risks and may make us more financially vulnerable in the face of threatened litigation.
