Xeriant Inc (XERI)

[Smartypants2]

If XERI had a signed & binding Definitive Merger Agreement with XTI. that would likely qualify as beginning the process of merging. The merger itself might or might not begin on that date, depending on a number of factors (eg, other initiatives that could alter the balance of equity ownership, etc.) Likewise, filing an S-1 with the SEC would likely qualify as beginning the process of uplisting.
