PALO ALTO, Calif., March 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KINS Technology Group Inc (NASDAQ: KINZ) (“KINS”), a special purpose acquisition corporation sponsored by KINS Capital LLC, today announced the successful completion of its previously announced business combination with CXApp Holding Corp (“CXApp”) – the leading workplace experience platform in the market. The business combination was approved at a special meeting of the KINS stockholders held on March 10th, 2023.
The combined company will operate as CXApp Inc. and will commence trading its common stock and publicly traded warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) tomorrow (March 15th) under the ticker symbols “CXAI” and “CXAIW”, respectively. The new symbol represents the new Company’s vision of enhanced employee experiences (“CX”) with connected intelligence (“AI”).
The CXApp platform offers a suite of leading-edge technology workplace experience solutions including an enterprise employee application, indoor mapping, on-device positioning, augmented reality technologies and an AI-based analytics platform, targeting the emerging hybrid workplace market to provide enhanced experiences across people, places, and things.
Mr. Khurram Sheikh, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of KINS, said, “CXApp is a “category-maker” company that has developed the most engaging application for the hybrid workplace market – in reality, this is the Workplace SuperApp with over 150 native features and 100+ API integrations. We believe that with this unique value proposition and technology leadership CXApp is well-positioned for substantial growth. We believe that through our merger, coupled with the KINS team’s background in successfully building businesses, it has the potential to create significant value for stockholders over time.”
At consummation of the merger, the KINS team has taken over leadership at the management and board level of the new CXApp. Mr. Khurram Sheikh is now serving as the Chairman and CEO of the combined company. KINS directors Ms. Di-Ann Eisnor and Mr. Camillo Martino have become independent board members of CXApp. The Company has also added industry veterans Mr. George Mathai and Ms. Shanti Priya as new independent directors.

Mr. Sheikh added, “This is a fresh start for CXApp with the innovative combination of leading-edge technology assets with a seasoned leadership team to create the only publicly-held asset in the exciting new workplace experience category. I am super excited to welcome George and Shanti to the KINS transformational journey and honored to have Di-Ann and Camillo continue to dedicate their operational acumen to help build the category-maker SuperApp. I also want to thank Mr. Nadir Ali, CEO of Inpixon for being a great partner in getting this deal to the finish line and delivering the best-in-class technology and team in the market.
