XTI won't be an independent company after the merger. They will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Inpixion. I think that's a pretty big difference. Per their announcement: " Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into XTI, with XTI surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inpixon (the “Merger”)."
