Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 29, 2024, Xeriant, Inc. (the “Company”) filed an Amended Complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against XTI Aircraft Co. (“XTI”), the wholly owned and principal operating subsidiary of XTI Aerospace Inc. (Nasdaq: XTIA). alleging that XTI, engaged over a period of time in (1) intentional fraudulent conduct against Xeriant, (2) fraudulent concealment, (3) breach of contract, (4) quantum meruit, (5) unjust enrichment, (6) unfair competition, and (7) misappropriation of confidential information, and sought, among other things, damages in excess of $500 million. XTI moved before the Court on March 13, 2024, seeking to dismiss all Xeriant’s claims except for breach of contract. Xeriant argued before the Court that all of these claims were legitimately alleged and should not be dismissed. On January 14, 2025, the Court agreed with Xeriant’s position that its claims were validly alleged and denied all of XTI’s arguments in their entirety. The Court has ordered that XTI must file an Answer to the Amended Complaint, and Xeriant intends to proceed to take discovery.

On January 22, 2025 the Company issued a press release relating to the Court’s decision. A copy of the Press Release is attached as Exhibit 99.2.
