PROXY STATEMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF
INFLECTION POINT ACQUISITION CORP.
(A CAYMAN ISLANDS EXEMPTED COMPANY)
AND
PROSPECTUS FOR 64,551,250 SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK
AND
23,332,500 WARRANTS TO PURCHASE SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK OF
INFLECTION POINT ACQUISITION CORP.

(TO BE RENAMED “INTUITIVE MACHINES, INC.” FOLLOWING DOMESTICATION IN
THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND IN CONNECTION WITH THE BUSINESS COMBINATION
DESCRIBED HEREIN)

The board of directors of Inflection Point Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Inflection Point”), has unanimously approved the business combination between Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (referred to herein prior to the Business Combination (as defined below) as “Intuitive Machines,” and, subsequent to the Business Combination, as “Intuitive Machines OpCo”), pursuant to which, (1) at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below) (the “Closing”) and following the Domestication (as defined below), (a) Inflection Point will acquire equity securities and become the managing member of Intuitive Machines OpCo and (b) Inflection Point will issue voting equity securities without economic rights to the existing members of Intuitive Machines prior to the Closing (“Intuitive Machines Members”), pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2022, by and between Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines, attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A (the “Business Combination Agreement”), resulting in a combined company organized in an umbrella partnership C corporation (“Up-C”) structure, in which substantially all of the assets and the business of the combined company will be held by Intuitive Machines OpCo as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; (2) Inflection Point will domesticate (the “Domestication”) as a Delaware corporation in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Companies Act”) and the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of Inflection Point (as may be amended from time to time, the “Cayman Constitutional Documents”), (3) Intuitive Machines will change its jurisdiction from Texas to Delaware (the “Conversion”) and complete a recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”) whereby all outstanding equity securities of Intuitive Machines will be converted or exchanged into common units, options, and unvested earn out units, as applicable, and (4) the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and documents related thereto will be consummated (such transactions, together with the business combination and the Domestication, Conversion, and Recapitalization, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the Business Combination, Inflection Point will be renamed “Intuitive Machines, Inc.” (“New Intuitive Machines”).

Immediately prior to the Domestication, pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, each Inflection Point Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (each an “Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Share”), then issued and outstanding will automatically convert into one Inflection Point Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (each an “Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share,” and together with the Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares, the “Inflection Point Ordinary Shares”). Immediately following such conversion, in connection with the Domestication, (a) each Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication will automatically convert into one share of New Intuitive Machines Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (collectively, the “New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock”), (b) each then issued and outstanding whole warrant to purchase one Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share (each warrant, an “Inflection Point Warrant”) will automatically convert into a warrant to purchase one share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock on the same terms as the Inflection Point Warrants (each a “New Intuitive Machines Warrant”) and (c) each of the units of Inflection Point (the “Inflection Point Units”) outstanding as of immediately prior to the Domestication will automatically be canceled and each holder will receive one share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and one-half of one New Intuitive Machines Warrant, per Inflection Point Unit. No fractional New Intuitive Machines Warrants will be issued upon such cancellation.

Concurrently with the Domestication and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, including approval by Inflection Point’s shareholders, Inflection Point will adopt a certificate of incorporation (the “Proposed Certificate of Incorporation”) that, among other things, will implement a revised class structure with the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock having one vote per share and economic rights, the shares of Class B common stock of New Intuitive Machines, par value $0.0001 per share, having one vote per share and no economic rights (collectively, the “New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock”) and the shares of Class C common stock of new Intuitive Machines, par value $0.0001 per share, having three votes per share and no economic rights (collectively, the “New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock” and the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, the New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, collectively, the “New Intuitive Machines Common Stock”). The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will also authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having such characteristics as the board of directors of New Inflection Point may, from time to time, provide. The board of directors of Inflection Point will adopt a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of 10% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, creating the Series A Preferred Stock (as defined below) having the characteristics described more fully elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

As a result of the Up-C structure, the business combination consideration to be received by Intuitive Machines Members will consist of securities of both Intuitive Machines OpCo having economic rights and New Intuitive Machines having voting rights but not economic rights, equal to a value of approximately $700,000,000 (excluding the value of the Earn Out Units (as defined below)) (the “Business Combination Consideration”). In particular, the Business Combination Consideration to be received by the Intuitive Machines Members will be an aggregate of (a) (i) 68,125,987 common units of Intuitive Machines OpCo (the “Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units”), (ii) 1,874,013 options to purchase Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units (the “Intuitive Machines OpCo Options”) and (iii) 10,000,000 unvested earn out units of, Intuitive Machines OpCo (the “Earn Out Units”) and (b) (i) 278 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock (excluding 1,874,013 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of Intuitive Machines OpCo Options) and (ii) 68,125,709 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock (excluding 10,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock reserved for issuance upon vesting of the Earn Out Units).

Immediately prior to the Closing, Intuitive Machines will effectuate the Recapitalization whereby all outstanding equity securities of Intuitive Machines will be converted or exchanged into Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units, Intuitive Machines OpCo Options and Earn Out Units. As part of the Recapitalization, each outstanding option of Intuitive Machines, whether vested or unvested, will become an Intuitive Machine OpCo Option with substantially the same terms and conditions as applicable to such option immediately prior to the Recapitalization (including expiration date, vesting conditions and exercise provisions), except that each such Intuitive Machines OpCo Option shall be exercisable for Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units.

At Closing:

(a)     New Intuitive Machines will issue or cause to be issued (i) 278 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock to the Intuitive Machines Members (other than the Intuitive Machines Founders) (as defined below)), and (ii) 68,125,709 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock to Dr. Kamal Ghaffarian, Stephen Altemus and Timothy Crain and their permitted transferees (the Intuitive Machines Founders), in each case in exchange for payment from such Intuitive Machines Members to New Intuitive Machines of a per-share price equal to the par value per share of the New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock or New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, as applicable (such consideration, the “Member Subscription Amount”), and will reserve (i) 1,874,013 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of Intuitive Machines OpCo Options and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock for issuance upon vesting of the Earn Out Units;

(b)     New Intuitive Machines will contribute to Intuitive Machines OpCo, an amount in cash (the “Available Closing Cash”) equal to, as of immediately prior to the Closing, the sum of (without duplication): (a) all amounts in the Trust Account, less (i) amounts required for the redemptions of Public Shares (as defined herein) by holders of such Public Shares (“Public Shareholders”) and (ii) transaction expenses of Intuitive Machines and Inflection Point, plus (b) the aggregate proceeds actually received by New Intuitive Machines from the Series A Investment (as defined herein), plus (c) the aggregate proceeds, if any, actually received

(d)     the 10,000,000 Earn Out Units will be deposited into escrow at the Closing and will be subject to vesting and will be earned, released and delivered to the applicable Intuitive Machines Members upon satisfaction of the following milestones: (i) 2,500,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, during the Earn Out Period (as defined below), Intuitive Machines is awarded the OMES III Contract by NASA (“Triggering Event I”)), (ii) 5,000,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, within the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event I has occured and the volume weighted average closing sale price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (“Triggering Event II-A), (iii) 7,500,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, within the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event I has not occurred and the volume weighted average closing sale price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (“Triggering Event II-B”), and (iv) 2,500,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, within the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event III occurs the volume weighted average closing sale price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $17.50 per share (“Triggering Event III”), provided, that Triggering Event II-A and Triggering Event II-B may not both be achieved. “Earn Out Period” means (i) with respect to Triggering Event I, the time period beginning on September 16, 2022 and ending at 11:59 pm ET on December 31, 2023, and (ii) with respect to Triggering Event II-A, Triggering Event II-B and Triggering Event III, the time period beginning on the date that is 150 days following the Closing Date and ending on the date that is the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date. If a Change of Control (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) occurs during the Earn Out Period that results in the holders of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock receiving a per share price greater than or equal to $15.00 or $17.50, respectively, then immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, to the extent not previously triggered, Triggering Event II-A, Triggering Event II-B and/or Triggering Event III will be deemed to have occurred, as applicable, and the applicable Earn Out Units shall vest. Upon the vesting of any Earn Out Units, each applicable Intuitive Machines Member will be issued an equal number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, in exchange for the payment to New Intuitive Machines of adequate consideration (in each case, not to exceed a per-share price equal to the par value per share of such New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock).

After the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (as defined below), holders of certain Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units will be permitted to exchange such Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units (along with the cancellation of the paired share of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock or share of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock) for shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis pursuant to the Second A&R Operating Agreement (subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications) or, at the election of New Intuitive Machines (determined by a majority of the directors of New Intuitive Machines who are disinterested with respect to such determination), cash from a substantially concurrent public offering or private sale in an amount equal to the net amount, on a per share basis, of cash received as a result of such public offering or private sale.

 

Table of Contents

Upon the vesting of any Earn Out Units, each of the applicable Intuitive Machines Members will be issued (i) by Intuitive Machines OpCo an equal number of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units and (ii) by New Intuitive Machines an equal number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, in exchange for surrender of the applicable Earn Out Units and the payment to New Intuitive Machines of a per-share price equal to the par value per share of the New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock. Upon the exercise of any Intuitive Machines OpCo Option, (i) Intuitive Machines OpCo will issue to the exercising holder such number of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units to be received by such exercising holder as a result of such exercise and (ii) New Intuitive Machines will issue to the exercising holder an equal number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock, in exchange for the payment to New Intuitive Machines of a per-share price equal to the par value per share of the New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock.

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on September 16, 2022, Inflection Point entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors (collectively, the “Series A Investors”), pursuant to which the Series A Investors have agreed to purchase $26.0 million (the “Series A Investment”) of 10% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Intuitive Machines (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and warrants exercisable to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $15.00 (the “Preferred Investor Warrants”).

The Inflection Point Units, Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and Inflection Point Warrants are currently listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “IPAXU,” “IPAX” and “IPAXW,” respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, as a closing condition, Inflection Point is required to cause the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Business Combination to be approved for listing on Nasdaq, but there can be no assurance that such listing condition will be met. If such listing condition is not met, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the listing condition is waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement. Further, it is a condition to the consummation of the Series A Investment that the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock be approved for listing on Nasdaq. Following the Closing, the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants will be listed, subject to Nasdaq approval, under the proposed symbols “LUNR” and “LUNRW”, respectively. It is important for you to know that, at the time of our extraordinary general meeting, we may not have received from Nasdaq either confirmation of the listing of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants or that approval will be obtained prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and it is possible that the listing condition to the consummation of the Business Combination may be waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement and by the Series A Investors. As a result, you may be asked to vote to approve the Business Combination and the other proposals included in this proxy statement/prospectus without such confirmation, and, further, it is possible that such confirmation may never be received and the Business Combination could still be consummated if such condition is waived and therefore the New Intuitive Machines securities would not be listed on any nationally recognized securities exchange.

New Intuitive Machines will be a “controlled company” under Nasdaq listing standards. As a result, New Intuitive Machines will not be required to comply with certain corporate governance standards that are applicable to companies that are not controlled companies. For example, as permitted by Nasdaq rules, it is expected that following the Closing, a majority of the New Intuitive Machines Board and the Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees will not be comprised of independent directors.

In connection with Inflection Point’s initial public offering (“IPO”), Inflection Point’s sponsor, Inflection Point Holdings LLC (the “Sponsor”), and Inflection Point’s directors and executive officers entered into letter agreements to vote their Inflection Point Ordinary Shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal (as defined herein). Further, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement with Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines, dated as of September 16, 2022 (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to vote its shares in favor of all proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the Record Date, the Sponsor owns approximately 20% of the total outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares. In addition, although it is not required to do so, Kingstown 1740 Fund L.P. (“Kingstown 1740”), an affiliate of the Sponsor and a Series A Investor, has advised us that it intends to vote all Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares it holds in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the Record Date, the Sponsor and Kingstown 1740 own approximately 27% of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides shareholders of Inflection Point with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the extraordinary general meeting of Inflection Point. We encourage you to read this entire document, including the Annexes and other documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. It also contains or references information about Inflection Point, Intuitive Machines and New Intuitive Machines and certain related matters. You are encouraged to read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully. In particular, when you consider the recommendation regarding these proposals by the board of directors of Inflection Point, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and Inflection Point’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to, or may conflict with, your interests as a shareholder. For instance, the Sponsor and Inflection Point’s officers and directors will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidating Inflection Point. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Inflection Point Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 58 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AGENCY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY CONSTITUTES A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

This proxy statement/prospectus is dated January 24, 2023, and is first being mailed to Inflection Point’s shareholders on or about January 24, 2023.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5A — Under the Proposed Organizational Documents, New Intuitive Machines would be authorized to issue (A) 500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock”), (B) 100,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock”), (C) 100,000,000 shares of Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock”), and (D) 25,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“New Intuitive Machines Preferred Stock”).

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5F — The Proposed Organizational Documents would permit the removal of a director only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of New Intuitive Machines.

We refer to this proposal as the “Adjournment Proposal.”

These items of business are described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read carefully and in its entirety before voting.

Only holders of record of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares at the close of business on January 10, 2023 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to have their votes counted at the extraordinary general meeting and any adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting. Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, the approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will have no right to vote on the Domestication Proposal.

The approval of each of the Organizational Documents Proposal and the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at an extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at an extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and proxy card are being provided to Inflection Point’s shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the extraordinary general meeting and at any adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, all of Inflection Point’s shareholders are urged to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 58 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, the board of directors of Inflection Point (the “Inflection Point Board”) has unanimously approved the Business Combination and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement, and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, and “FOR” all other proposals presented to Inflection Point’s shareholders in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. When you consider the recommendation of these proposals by the Inflection Point Board, you should keep in mind that Inflection Point’s sponsor, Inflection Point Holdings LLC (the “the Sponsor”) and Inflection Point’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. For instance, the Sponsor and Inflection Point’s officers and directors will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidating Inflection Point. See the section of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Inflection Point Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

In connection with the Business Combination, certain related agreements have been or will be entered into on or prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Member Voting and Support Agreement, the Series A Purchase Agreement, the Preferred Investor Warrants, the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement, the Intuitive Machines Lock-Up Agreement, the Non-Redemption Agreement, the Cantor Purchase Agreement and the Cantor Registration Rights Agreement (each as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus). See “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements” and “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information.

 

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a holder of Public Shares (as defined herein) (a “Public Shareholder”) may request to redeem all or a portion of such holder’s Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)     (a) hold Public Shares or (b) hold Public Shares through Inflection Point Units and elect to separate your Inflection Point Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants (as defined below) prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares;

(ii)    submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), Inflection Point’s transfer agent, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the Public Shares for which redemption is requested, that Inflection Point redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash; and

(iii)   deliver your share certificates for Public Shares (if any) along with other applicable redemption forms to Continental, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Public Shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 6, 2023 (two business days prior to the scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their Public Shares to be redeemed.

Public Shareholders may elect to redeem Public Shares regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal, and regardless of whether they hold Public Shares on the Record Date. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank.

If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a Public Shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers its share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (as applicable) to Continental, Inflection Point will redeem such Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the trust account established at the consummation of the IPO (the “Trust Account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Redemption Price”). For illustrative purposes, as of September 30, 2022, this would have amounted to approximately $10.06 per Public Share. Prior to exercising redemption rights, Public Shareholders should verify the market price of the Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Public Shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the Redemption Price. Inflection Point cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their Public Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the Redemption Price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our securities when our shareholders wish to sell their shares. If a Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own Public Shares. Any request to redeem Public Shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for submitting redemption requests, which is two business days prior to the scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting, and, thereafter, with our consent, until the Domestication. If a holder of Public Shares delivers its shares in connection with an election to redeem and subsequently decides prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that Inflection Point instruct Continental to return the shares (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting Continental, at the address or email address listed in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. See “Extraordinary General Meeting of Inflection Point — Redemption Rights of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a Public Shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Upon the Closing, New Intuitive Machines will be organized in an umbrella partnership-C corporation (or “Up-C”) structure in which substantially all of the assets and the business of New Intuitive Machines will continue to be held by Intuitive Machines, LLC (referred to herein, subsequent to the Business Combination, as “Intuitive Machines OpCo”) and its subsidiaries, and New Intuitive Machines’ only direct assets will consist of securities of Intuitive Machines OpCo. Assuming there are no redemptions in connection with the Business Combination, upon the Closing, New Intuitive Machines is expected to own approximately 39.4% of the units of Intuitive Machines OpCo (the “Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units”) and will be the managing member of Intuitive Machines OpCo. All remaining Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units will be owned by the existing Intuitive Machines Members.

The Sponsor and each director and officer of Inflection Point have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Business Combination, and to waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any Inflection Point Ordinary Shares held by them. None of our Sponsor, directors or officers received separate consideration for their waiver of redemption rights. The Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share Redemption Price. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor owns approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares and the Sponsor and its affiliate, Kingstown 1740 Fund L.P. (“Kingstown 1740”), collectively own approximately 27% of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

On September 16, 2022, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Inflection Point entered into a purchase agreement (the “Series A Purchase Agreement”) with Kingstown 1740 (an existing security holder of Inflection Point and an affiliate of the Sponsor) and Ghaffarian Enterprises, LLC (an affiliate of Dr. Kamal Ghaffarian) (collectively, the “Series A Investors”), pursuant to which, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, New Intuitive Machines will issue and sell to the Series A Investors (i) an aggregate of 26,000 shares of 10% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) which will be convertible into shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of 10% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) to be adopted by the Inflection Point Board following the Domestication and immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) warrants to purchase 541,667 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $15.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Preferred Investor Warrants”) in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Investor Warrants. Subject to shareholder approval of the proposals in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and certain other customary conditions to closing, the Series A Investment will be consummated following the Domestication but immediately prior to the Closing.

The Business Combination Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including without limitation: (i) the adoption and/or approval, as applicable, by Inflection Point’s shareholders of the Condition Precedent Proposals, (ii) the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination by the Intuitive Machines Members, (iii) Inflection Point having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) upon the Closing, (iv) the registration statement of which the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus forms a part becoming effective, (v) approval of the listing of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq, subject to satisfaction of the round lot holders requirement for initial listing, (vi) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party to the Business Combination Agreement and the performance of the covenants and agreements of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, (vii) the completion of the Domestication, (viii) that Kingstown 1740 shall not have exercised redemption rights with respect to its 2,900,000 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares, (ix) the completion of the Conversion and Recapitalization, (x) the absence of an Intuitive Machines Material Adverse Effect or an Inflection Point Material Adverse Effect (each as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) and (xi) the substantially simultaneous closing of the Series A Investment. We cannot assure you as to whether these conditions will be satisfied or waived.

The Inflection Point Units, Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and Inflection Point Warrants (each as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) are currently listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “IPAXU,” “IPAX” and “IPAXW,” respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, as a closing condition, Inflection Point is required to cause the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Business Combination to be approved for listing on Nasdaq, but there can be no assurance that such listing condition will be met. If such listing condition is not met, the Business Combination will not

 

Table of Contents

be consummated unless the listing condition is waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement. Further, it is a condition to the consummation of the Series A Investment that the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock be approved for listing on Nasdaq. Following the Closing, New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants will be listed, subject to Nasdaq approval, under the proposed symbols “LUNR” and “LUNRW”, respectively. It is important for you to know that, at the time of our extraordinary general meeting, we may not have received from Nasdaq either confirmation of the listing of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants or that approval will be obtained prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and it is possible that the listing condition to the consummation of the Business Combination may be waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement and by the Series A Investors. As a result, you may be asked to vote to approve the Business Combination and the other proposals included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus without such confirmation, and, further, it is possible that such confirmation may never be received and the Business Combination could still be consummated if such condition is waived and therefore the New Intuitive Machines securities would not be listed on any nationally recognized securities exchange.

New Intuitive Machines will be a “controlled company” under Nasdaq listing standards. As a result, New Intuitive Machines will not be required to comply with certain corporate governance standards that are applicable to companies that are not controlled companies. For example, as permitted by Nasdaq rules, it is expected that following the Closing, a majority of the New Intuitive Machines Board and the Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees will not be comprised of independent directors.

Your vote is very important.    Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus to make sure that your shares are represented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the extraordinary general meeting or any adjournment thereof. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved at the extraordinary general meeting, and if the other conditions to closing are satisfied or waived. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other Condition Precedent Proposal. The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted “FOR” each of the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the extraordinary general meeting in person, the effect will be, among other things, that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the extraordinary general meeting and will not be voted. If you are a shareholder of record and you attend the extraordinary general meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST SUBMIT A WRITTEN REQUEST, INCLUDING THE LEGAL NAME, PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THE SHARES FOR WHICH REDEMPTION IS REQUESTED, TO CONTINENTAL THAT YOUR PUBLIC SHARES BE REDEEMED FOR CASH AND DELIVER YOUR PUBLIC SHARES TO CONTINENTAL, PHYSICALLY OR ELECTRONICALLY USING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM, IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCEDURES AND DEADLINES DESCRIBED IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS. IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT CONSUMMATED, THEN THE PUBLIC SHARES WILL NOT BE REDEEMED FOR CASH. IF YOU HOLD THE SHARES IN STREET NAME, YOU WILL NEED TO INSTRUCT THE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT YOUR BANK OR BROKER TO WITHDRAW THE SHARES FROM YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS. SEE “THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING — REDEMPTION RIGHTS” IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS FOR MORE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS.

Q.     Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

A.     Inflection Point shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Business Combination. The Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, following the Domestication of Inflection Point to Delaware as described below, Inflection Point acquiring equity securities and becoming the managing member of Intuitive Machines and Inflection Point issuing voting equity securities without economic rights to the Intuitive Machines Members, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal” for more detail.

A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A and you are encouraged to read it in its entirety.

As a condition to the Closing, and at least one day prior to the Closing, Inflection Point will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by effecting a deregistration under Section 206 of the Companies Act and a domestication under Section 388 of the DGCL, pursuant to which Inflection Point’s jurisdiction of incorporation will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Immediately prior to the Domestication, pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, each Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Share will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into an Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share. Immediately following such conversion, in connection with the Domestication, (i) each of the then issued and outstanding Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, each of which will carry voting rights of one vote per share; (ii) each of the then issued and outstanding Inflection Point Warrants will automatically become a New Intuitive Machines Warrant; and (iii) each Inflection Point Unit issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Domestication will automatically be canceled and each holder will receive one share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and one-half of one New Intuitive Machines Warrant, per Inflection Point Unit held immediately prior to the Domestication.

Concurrently with the Domestication and subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, including approval by Inflection Point’s shareholders, Inflection Point will adopt the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation which, among other things, will implement a revised class structure with shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock having one vote per share and economic rights, the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock having one vote per share and no economic rights and the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock having three votes per share and no economic rights. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Domestication Proposal” for additional information.

In connection with the Business Combination, Intuitive Machines will change its jurisdiction of organization from Texas to Delaware (the “Conversion”). Immediately prior to Closing, Intuitive Machines will effectuate a recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”) whereby all outstanding equity securities of Intuitive Machines will be converted or exchanged into common units (collectively, the “Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units”), options (collectively, the “Intuitive Machines OpCo Options”) and unvested earn out units (collectively, the “Earn Out Units”), as applicable.

THE VOTE OF PUBLIC SHAREHOLDERS IS IMPORTANT. PUBLIC SHAREHOLDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO VOTE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, INCLUDING THE ANNEXES AND THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF INFLECTION POINT AND INTUITIVE MACHINES, CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY.

Q.     What proposals are shareholders of Inflection Point being asked to vote upon?

A.     At the extraordinary general meeting, Inflection Point is asking holders of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares to consider and vote upon:

        The Business Combination Proposal;

        The Domestication Proposal;

        The Stock Issuance Proposal;

        The Organizational Documents Proposal;

        The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals;

        The Incentive Plan Proposal;

        The Director Election Proposal; and

        The Adjournment Proposal, if presented.

If Inflection Point’s shareholders do not approve each of the Condition Precedent Proposals, then unless certain conditions in the Business Combination Agreement are waived by the applicable parties to the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement could be terminated and the Business Combination may not be consummated. See the sections of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal,” “The Domestication Proposal,” “The Stock Issuance Proposal,” “The Organizational Documents Proposal,” “The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals,” “The Incentive Plan Proposal,” and “The Director Election Proposal.”

Inflection Point will hold the extraordinary general meeting to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders of Inflection Point should read it carefully.

After careful consideration, the Inflection Point Board has determined that each of (a) the Business Combination Proposal, (b) the Domestication Proposal, (c) the Stock Issuance Proposal, (d) the Organizational Documents Proposal, (e) the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, (f) the Incentive Plan Proposal, (g) the Director Election Proposal, and (h) and the Adjournment Proposal, if presented, are in the best interests of Inflection Point and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of those proposals.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Inflection Point’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Inflection Point and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Inflection Point’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Inflection Point Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Q.     Are the proposals conditioned on one another?

A.     Yes. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other Condition Precedent Proposal. The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal.

Q.     Why is Inflection Point proposing the Business Combination?

A.     Inflection Point was incorporated to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, with one or more businesses or entities.

Intuitive Machines is a diversified space exploration, infrastructure, and services company with contracts supporting space exploration and NASA’s $93 billion Artemis program. Based on Inflection Point’s due diligence investigations of Intuitive Machines and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by Intuitive Machines in the course of Inflection Point’s due diligence investigations, the Inflection Point Board believes that the Business Combination with Intuitive Machines is in the best interests of Inflection Point and its shareholders and presents an opportunity to increase shareholder value. However, there is no assurance of this. See “The Business Combination Proposal — The Inflection Point Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination” of this proxy statement/prospectus for additional information.

Although the Inflection Point Board believes that the Business Combination with Intuitive Machines presents a unique business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of Inflection Point and its shareholders, the Inflection Point Board did consider certain potentially material negative factors in arriving at that conclusion. These factors are discussed in greater detail in the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Inflection Point Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination,” of this proxy statement/prospectus as well as in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Intuitive Machines’ Business.”

Q.     What will Intuitive Machines Members receive in connection with the Business Combination?

A.     Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, New Intuitive Machines will issue (i) to each Intuitive Machines Founder a number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock equal to the number of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units held by such Intuitive Machines Founder as of and on the Closing Date and (ii) to each other Intuitive Machines Member a number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock equal to the number of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units held by such Intuitive Machines Member as of and on the Closing Date, in each case, pursuant to individual subscription agreements to be entered into between each Intuitive Machines Member, New Intuitive Machines, and Intuitive Machines OpCo.

Each Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Unit, when paired with one share of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock or one share of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, is exchangeable, in tandem with the cancellation of the paired share of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock or share of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, for one share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock. After the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, holders of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units will be permitted to exchange such Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units (along with the cancellation of the paired share of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock or share of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock) for shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis pursuant to the Second A&R Operating Agreement and the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation (subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications) or at the election of New Intuitive Machines (determined by a majority of the directors of New Intuitive Machines who are disinterested with respect to such determination), cash from a substantially concurrent public offering or private sale in an amount equal to the net amount, on a per share basis, of cash received as a result of such public offering or private sale.

(1)      Share ownership presented under each redemptions scenario in the tables above are only presented for illustrative purposes. Inflection Point cannot predict how many Public Shareholders will exercise their right to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash. As a result, the redemption amount and the number of Public Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination may differ from the amounts presented above. As such, the ownership percentages of current Inflection Point Shareholders may also differ from the presentation above if the actual redemptions are different from these assumptions. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination — The ability of our Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our Public Shares could increase the probability that the Business Combination will be unsuccessful and that you would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem your Public Shares.

(2)      This scenario assumes that 16,487,500 of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares, or 50% of the Public Shares, are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $165.9 million (based on the estimated per share Redemption Price of approximately $10.06 per share) from the Trust Account, which is a redemptions scenario that could occur.

(3)      This scenario assumes that 30,075,000 of Inflection Point’s Class A Ordinary Shares are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $302.6 million (based on the estimated per share Redemption Price of approximately $10.06 per share) from the Trust Account, which is a redemptions scenario that could occur. This represents the maximum number of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares that could be redeemed giving effect to the Non-Redemption Agreement pursuant to which Kingstown 1740 agreed not to redeem the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Units purchased by it in the IPO (including, the 1,386,989 IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares).

(4)      Includes 2,900,000 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares held by Kingstown 1740, an affiliate of the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreement, Kingstown 1740 agreed not to redeem the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Units purchased by it in the IPO (including the 1,386,989 IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares).

(5)      Represents Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor.

(6)      Presented on an as-converted to New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock basis. Does not include shares underlying warrants to be issued to the PIPE Investors. Includes 1,750,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A issuable to Kingstown 1740.

(8)      Includes 2,066,667 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding SAFEs of Intuitive Machines at conversion prices calculated in accordance with the terms of the SAFEs based on the implied price of $10.00 per share in the Business Combination.

(9)      Assumes 100,000 Commitment Shares are issued to CFPI, which assumes that each share has a fair market value of $10.00 per share pursuant to the calculation as set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement. The actual number of Commitment Shares may vary based upon the actual fair market value of a share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock following the Closing of the Business Combination.

(10)    Includes 1,450,000 Public Warrants owned by Kingstown 1740, an affiliate of the Sponsor.

(11)    Represents shares issuable upon the exercise of New Intuitive Machines Warrants.

In each redemptions scenario, assumes that all warrants are exercised for cash.

(14)    Assumes the exchange of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units and simultaneous surrender of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock for shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Second A&R Operating Agreement. Includes 10,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock issuable upon exchange of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units issuable upon vesting of 10,000,000 Earn Out Units and simultaneous surrender of paired New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Second A&R Operating Agreement.

The actual number of Commitment Shares may vary based upon the actual fair market value of a share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock following the Closing of the Business Combination. The actual number of shares New Intuitive Machines sells to CFPI may vary based on the ability of New Intuitive Machines to satisfy the conditions precedent to sales under the Equity Facility at the time of any such sales, New Intuitive Machines capital requirements and the volume weighted average price of the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock during the applicable purchase date on which New Intuitive Machines has timely delivered written notice to CFPI directing it to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock under the Cantor Purchase Agreement. Inflection Point cannot predict New Intuitive Machines’ future sales to CFPI under the Equity Facility or the volume weighted average price of the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at the time of such sales. As a result, the dollar value of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock sold to CFPI and the price at which such sales are executed may differ from the amounts presented above. As such, ownership percentages may also differ from the presentation above if the actual circumstances are different from these assumptions.

Q.     How has the announcement of the Business Combination affected the trading price of the Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares?

A.     On September 15, 2022, the last trading date prior to the public announcement of the Business Combination, Inflection Point Units, Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and Public Warrants closed at $9.81, $9.74 and $0.25, respectively. As of January 19, 2023, the last practicable trading day immediately prior to the filing date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the closing price for each Inflection Point Unit, Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share and Public Warrant was $10.19, $10.09 and $0.23, respectively.

Q.     Will Inflection Point obtain new financing in connection with the Business Combination?

A.     Yes. The Series A Investors have agreed to purchase 26,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Preferred Investor Warrants to purchase 541,667 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, each exercisable at an initial exercise price of $15.00 per share, subject to adjustment, for $26.0 million of gross proceeds, in the Series A Investment. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Series A Purchase Agreement.”

Q.     Why is Inflection Point proposing the Domestication?

A.      The Inflection Point Board believes that there are significant advantages to New Intuitive Machines that will arise as a result of a change of Inflection Point’s domicile to the State of Delaware, including (a) the prominence, predictability and flexibility of the DGCL, (b) Delaware’s well-established principles of corporate governance and (c) the increased ability for Delaware corporations to attract and retain qualified directors. Further, the Inflection Point Board believes that any direct benefit that the DGCL provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation. Each of the foregoing are discussed in greater detail in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Domestication Proposal — Reasons for the Domestication.”

To effect the Domestication, Inflection Point will file a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which Inflection Point will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation.

The approval of the Domestication Proposal is a condition to closing the Business Combination under the Business Combination Agreement. The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will have no right to vote on the Domestication Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

Q.     What amendments will be made to the Cayman Constitutional Documents?

A.     The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned, among other things, on the Domestication. Accordingly, in addition to voting on the Business Combination, Inflection Point’s shareholders are also being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Domestication and replace the Cayman Constitutional Documents, in each case, under the Companies Act, with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed By-Laws, in each case, under the DGCL, which differ materially from the Cayman Constitutional Documents. These differences are discussed in greater detail in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Domestication Proposal.”

Q.     How will the Domestication affect my Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares, Inflection Point Warrants and Inflection Point Units?

A.     Immediately prior to the Domestication, pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, each Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Share issued and outstanding will be automatically converted into one Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share. Immediately following such conversion, in connection with the Domestication, (a) each Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication will automatically convert into one share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, (b) each Inflection Point Warrant will be automatically converted into a redeemable New Intuitive Machines Warrant on substantially the

18

Table of Contents

same terms as the Inflection Point Warrants, and (c) each Inflection Point Unit issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Domestication will automatically be canceled and each holder will receive one share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and one-half of one New Intuitive Machines Warrant in lieu thereof.

Q:     What Is The Tax Receivable Agreement?

A:     In connection with the Closing, New Intuitive Machines will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement with Intuitive Machines OpCo and the TRA Holders. The Tax Receivable Agreement will provide for the payment by New Intuitive Machines to the TRA Holders of 85% of the amount of cash tax savings, if any, that New Intuitive Machines actually realizes (or in some circumstances is deemed to realize) as a result of the Existing Basis, Basis Adjustments and Interest Deductions. Assuming no material changes in the relevant tax law and that New Intuitive Machines earns sufficient taxable income to realize all tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, we expect that the tax savings associated with the (i) Existing Basis, (ii) Basis Adjustments, and (iii) Interest Deductions would aggregate to approximately $170.4 million over 20 years from the date of the Business Combination based on a $10.00 per share trading price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and assuming all future redemptions or exchanges would occur one year after the Business Combination at the same assumed price per share. Under such scenario, assuming future payments are made on the due date (with extension) of each relevant U.S. federal income tax return, New Intuitive Machines would be required to pay approximately 87% of such amount, or approximately $148.2 million, over the 20-year period from the date of the Business Combination, and New Intuitive Machines would benefit from the remaining 13% of the tax benefits. New Intuitive Machines will depend on cash distributions from Intuitive Machines OpCo to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Any payments made by New Intuitive Machines to the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of cash that might have otherwise been available to New Intuitive Machines.

The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless New Intuitive Machines exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement or certain other acceleration events occur (including upon a change of control) that results in an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, in each case, pursuant to which New Intuitive Machines would be required to pay an amount representing the present value of anticipated future tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement (computed using certain assumptions). The summary of the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement included herein is not a complete description thereof and is qualified in its entirety by the full text thereof. For additional information, please see “The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Tax Receivable Agreement.”

Q.     What are the material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication?

A.     As discussed more fully under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” of this proxy statement/prospectus, Inflection Point received an opinion of counsel, filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, that the Domestication will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code (an “F Reorganization”). Assuming that the Domestication so qualifies, and subject to the “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) rules discussed below and under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — II. U.S. Holders — A. Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders — 5. PFIC Considerations”, U.S. Holders (as defined in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — II. U.S. Holders”) will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code in connection with the Domestication and, as a result:

        a U.S. Holder who beneficially owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Inflection Point shares entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of Inflection Point shares (a “10% U.S. Shareholder”) on the date of the Domestication generally will be required to include in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by Inflection Point the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to the Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares held directly by such U.S. Holder;

        a U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, is not a 10% U.S. Shareholder and whose Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of the Domestication generally will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares as

19

Table of Contents

if such U.S. Holder exchanged its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares for New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock in a taxable transaction unless such U.S. Holder elects in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations to include in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by Inflection Point the “all earnings and profits” amount attributable to such U.S. Holder’s Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares; and

        a U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, is not a 10% U.S. Shareholder and whose Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication generally will not recognize any gain or loss or include any part of the “all earnings and profits amount” in income under Section 367 of the Code in connection with the Domestication.

Inflection Point does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits, if any, on the date of the Domestication.

As discussed more fully under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — II. U.S. Holders — A. Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders — 5. PFIC Considerations”, Inflection Point believes that it is likely classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If Inflection Point were classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then notwithstanding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication discussed in the foregoing, proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code and certain other PFIC rules (which have retroactive effective dates), if finalized in their current form, generally would require a U.S. Holder to recognize gain on the exchange of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares or Inflection Point Warrants for New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock or New Intuitive Machines Warrants pursuant to the Domestication. Any such gain would be taxable income with no corresponding receipt of cash in the Domestication. The tax on any such gain would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on a complex set of rules. In addition, the proposed Treasury Regulations provide coordinating rules with other sections of the Code, including Section 367(b), which affect the manner in which the rules under such other sections apply to transfers of PFIC stock. However, it is difficult to predict whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code and such other PFIC rules may be adopted and how any such Treasury Regulations would apply. Importantly, however, U.S. Holders that make or have made certain elections discussed further under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — II. U.S. Holders — A. Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders — 5. PFIC Considerations — d. QEF Election and Mark-to-Market Election” with respect to their Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares are generally not subject to the same gain recognition rules under the currently proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code. Under current law, no such elections may be made with respect to Inflection Point Warrants. For a more complete discussion of the potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. Holders as a result of the Domestication, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — II. U.S. Holders”.

Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its own tax advisor concerning the application of the PFIC rules, including the proposed Treasury Regulations, to the exchange of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and Inflection Point Warrants for New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants pursuant to the Domestication.

Additionally, the Domestication may cause Non-U.S. Holders (as defined in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — III. Non-U.S. Holders”) to become subject to U.S. federal income withholding taxes on any amounts treated as dividends paid in respect of such Non-U.S. Holder’s New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock after the Domestication.

Although the redemptions of holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will occur prior to the Domestication, it is possible that the IRS could assert that for U.S. federal income tax purposes such redemptions should be treated as occurring after the Domestication. If such redemptions are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as occurring after the Domestication, holders exercising redemption rights would still be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication, and for U.S. Holders, the determination of whether a U.S. Holder is a 10% U.S. Shareholder or is otherwise subject to Section 367 of the Code would be determined as if the redemptions had not yet occurred at the time of the Domestication. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possibility that the redemptions are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as occurring after the Domestication despite the redemptions occurring in form prior to the Domestication.

20

Table of Contents

The tax consequences of the Domestication are complex and will depend on a holder’s particular circumstances. All holders are urged to consult their tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to them of the Domestication, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

Q.     Do I have redemption rights?

A.     If you are a holder of Public Shares, you have the right to request that we redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash provided that you follow the procedures and deadlines described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares held by them regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal and regardless of whether they hold Public Shares on the Record Date. If you wish to exercise your redemption rights, please see the answer to the next question: “How do I exercise my redemption rights?”.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a Public Shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to all of the Founder Shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. The Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share Redemption Price.

Q.     How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A.     If you are a Public Shareholder and wish to exercise your right to redeem the Public Shares, you must:

(a)     (i) hold Public Shares or (ii) hold Public Shares through Inflection Point Units and elect to separate your Inflection Point Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares;

(b)    submit a written request to Continental, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the Public Shares for which redemption is requested, that Inflection Point redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash; and

(c)     deliver your share certificates for Public Shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to Continental, physically or electronically through DTC.

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Public Shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 6, 2023 (two business days before the scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their Public Shares to be redeemed.

The address of Continental is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Public Shareholders will be entitled to request that their Public Shares be redeemed for the Redemption Price. For illustrative purposes, as of September 30, 2022, this would have amounted to approximately $10.06 per issued and outstanding Public Share. However, the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of Inflection Point’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Public Shareholders. Therefore, the per share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally expected due to such claims. Whether you vote, and if you do vote, how you vote, on any proposal, including the Business Combination Proposal, will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your redemption rights. It is expected that the funds to be distributed to Public Shareholders electing to redeem their Public Shares will be distributed promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination.

Any request for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with Inflection Point’s consent, until the Domestication. Furthermore, if a holder of a Public Share delivers its share certificates (if any) along with the redemption forms in connection

21

Table of Contents

with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that Inflection Point permit the withdrawal of the request for redemption and instruct Continental, to return the share certificates (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting Continental, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by Continental at least two business days prior to the scheduled date of the vote at the extraordinary general meeting. No request for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s certificates for Public Shares (if any) along with the redemption forms have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to Continental, at least two business days prior to the scheduled date of the vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

If a holder of Public Shares properly makes a request for redemption and the certificates for Public Shares (if any) along with the redemption forms are delivered as described above, then, if the Business Combination is consummated, Inflection Point will redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank.

If you are a holder of Public Shares and you exercise your redemption rights, such exercise will not result in the loss of any Public Warrants that you may hold.

Q.     If I am a holder of Public Warrants, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my Public Warrants?

A.     No. The holders of Inflection Point Warrants have no redemption rights with respect to such securities.

Assuming that no more than 16,487,500 Public Shares, representing 50% of the Public Shares issued in connection with the IPO, are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $165.9 million from the Trust Account, which is a potential amount of redemptions, and assuming that each redeeming Public Shareholder holds one-half of one Public Warrant for each Public Share being redeemed (representing the number of Public Warrants included in each Inflection Point Unit) and using the closing warrant price on Nasdaq of $0.25 as of September 15, 2022 (the trading day before the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement), the aggregate fair value of Public Warrants that can be retained by redeeming Public Shareholders is approximately $2,060,938. Assuming the maximum redemptions scenario, resulting in 30,075,000 Public Shares redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $302.6 million from the Trust Account (after giving effect to the Non-Redemption Agreement with Kingstown 1740 pursuant to which Kingstown 1740 has agreed not to redeem the 2,900,000 Business Combination Non-Redemption Covered Shares), and assuming that each redeeming Public Shareholder holds one-half of one Public Warrant for each Public Share being redeemed (representing the number of Public Warrants included in each Inflection Point Unit) and using the closing warrant price on Nasdaq of $0.25 as of September 15, 2022 (the trading day before the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement), the aggregate fair value of Public Warrants that can be retained by redeeming Public Shareholders is approximately $3,759,375. The actual market price of the Public Warrants may be higher or lower on the date that warrant holders seek to sell such Public Warrants. Additionally, Inflection Point cannot assure the holders of warrants that they will be able to sell their Public Warrants in the open market as there may not be sufficient liquidity in such securities when warrant holders wish to sell their Public Warrants. Further, while the level of redemptions of Public Shares will not directly change the value of the warrants because the warrants will remain outstanding regardless of the level of redemptions, as redemptions of Public Shares increase, the holder of New Intuitive Machines Warrants following the Closing who exercises such New Intuitive Machines Warrants will ultimately own a greater interest in New Intuitive Machines because there would be fewer shares outstanding overall.

Q.     How do the Public Warrants differ from the Private Placement Warrants, and what are the related risks for any Public Warrant Holders after the Business Combination?

A.     The Public Warrants are identical to the Private Placement Warrants in material terms and provisions, except that the Private Placement Warrants (including the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) may not be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the Closing and (ii) are entitled to registration rights.

Following the Closing, we may redeem your unexpired Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless. We have the ability to redeem outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants at any time after they become

22

Table of Contents

exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant or Private Placement Warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we give proper notice of such redemption and provided certain other conditions are met. If and when the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants could force you (i) to exercise your Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) to sell your Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants.

Q.     What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A.     The U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights with respect to your Public Shares depend on your particular facts and circumstances. It is possible that you may be treated as selling your Public Shares and, as a result, recognize capital gain or capital loss. It is also possible that the Redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Whether a redemption of shares qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of Inflection Point stock you are treated as owning before and after the redemption (including any shares that you constructively own as a result of owning Public Warrants and any shares that you directly or indirectly acquire pursuant to the Business Combination) relative to all of the shares of Inflection Point stock outstanding both before and after the redemption. Redeeming U.S. Holders generally will be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to any gain or loss recognized by the U.S. Holder on its deemed sale of its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares (if the redemption were treated as a sale of shares) or any corporate distributions deemed received on its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares (if the redemption were treated as a corporate distribution). For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of an exercise of redemption rights, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

All Public Shareholders considering exercising redemption rights are urged to consult their tax advisor on the tax consequences to them of an exercise of redemption rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws.

Q.     What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?

A.     Following the closing of the IPO (including partial exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters of the IPO), an amount equal to $329,750,000 ($10.00 per Inflection Point Unit) of the net proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the Trust Account. As of September 30, 2022, funds in the Trust Account totaled $331,742,611 and were comprised entirely of U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or of money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. These funds will remain in the Trust Account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (a) the completion of a business combination (including the Closing), (b) the redemption of all of the Public Shares if Inflection Point is unable to complete a business combination by September 24, 2023 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date) and (c) the redemption of any Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of Inflection Point’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares in connection with its initial business combination or if it does not complete a business combination by September 24, 2023 or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, subject to applicable law.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the funds deposited in the Trust Account will be released to pay holders of Public Shares who properly exercise their redemption rights; to pay transaction fees and expenses associated with the Business Combination; and for working capital and general corporate purposes of New

Intuitive Machines following the Business Combination. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination.”

Q.     Did the Inflection Point Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

A.     The Inflection Point Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with the determination to approve the Business Combination. The Inflection Point Board believes that based upon the financial skills and background of its directors, it was qualified to conclude that the Business Combination was fair from a financial perspective to the Inflection Point shareholders. The Inflection Point Board’s conclusion was based on, among other things, (a) the implied valuation of Intuitive Machines’ public peer group, which included Planet Labs PBC, Terran Orbital Corporation, Maxar Technologies, Rocket Lab USA, Inc., Virgin Galactic, and Virgin Orbit (the “Peer Group”), and (b) Intuitive Machines’ growth prospects, business strategy, market-leading competitive positioning, and projections. A discussion of the comparable companies appears below in the section titled “The Inflection Point Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination” and a discussion of the projections appears below in the section titled “Projected Financial Information.”

The Inflection Point Board also determined, without seeking a valuation from a financial advisor, that Intuitive Machines’ fair market value was at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of the signing of the Business Combination Agreement. Accordingly, investors will be relying on the judgment of the Inflection Point Board in valuing Intuitive Machines’ business, and assuming the risk that the Inflection Point Board may not have properly valued such business. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Domestication and the Business Combination.”

Q.     What happens if a substantial number of the Public Shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption rights?

A.     Our Public Shareholders are not required to vote in respect of the Business Combination in order to exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of Public Shareholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by Public Shareholders.

The Business Combination Agreement is not conditioned on an available cash condition. However, the Business Combination will not be consummated if, immediately prior to or upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Inflection Point does not have at least $5,000,001 in net tangible assets after giving effect to the redemptions. Additionally, the Business Combination Agreement is subject to the condition that Kingstown 1740 shall not have exercised redemption rights with respect to the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Units it purchased in the IPO. Kingstown 1740 entered into the Non-Redemption Agreement with Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines pursuant to which it has agreed not to exercise its redemption rights with respect to such 2,900,000 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Units purchased by it in the IPO (including, the 1,386,989 IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares).

In the event of significant redemptions, with fewer Public Shares and Inflection Point Public Shareholders, the trading market for New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock may be less liquid than the market for shares of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares was prior to the Business Combination, and New Intuitive Machines may not be able to meet the listing standards for Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. Additionally, if the Trust Account proceeds that would be available to New Intuitive Machines upon the Closing are less than $71 million (net of transaction expenses), which is the amount of Trust Account proceeds underlying assumptions used in the Intuitive Machines Projections, New Intuitive Machines will have less cash available to pursue its anticipated growth strategies and new initiatives, including developing “survive the night” technology, larger lunar landers, purchasing additional satellites for the lunar constellation, developing Earth re-entry capabilities, and additional R&D. As a result, New Intuitive Machines’ results of operations and financial condition may be worse than projected.

Q.     What underwriting fees are payable in connection with the Business Combination?

A.     Pursuant to that certain Underwriting Agreement, dated September 21, 2021, by and between Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citi”), acting individually and as representative of the several underwriters listed on Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriting Agreement”), at the time of the IPO, Inflection Point provided an upfront discount to the underwriters of its IPO of $4,595,000. In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, Citi, the book-running manager in Inflection Point’s IPO, was entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of $0.35 per Inflection Point Unit totaling $11,541,250 upon the consummation of the Business Combination, which would be payable from the amounts held in the Trust Account. On November 27, 2022, Citi waived its entitlement to the payment of the deferred compensation in the aggregate amount of $11,541,250 solely with respect to the Business Combination. Citi was not provided, and will not be provided, from any source, any consideration in exchange for its waiver of its entitlement to the payment of the deferred compensation or with respect to any agreements, arrangements or understandings between Citi and any party with respect to the waiver. The following table illustrates the effective underwriting discount on a percentage basis for Public Shares at each redemption level identified below, taking into account that the upfront discount will not be adjusted based on redemptions and the waiver of the deferred underwriting discount:

See Risk Factors — Citi, the lead underwriter in the Inflection Point IPO, without any consideration from Inflection Point or Intuitive Machines, waived its entitlement to deferred underwriting compensation, but would be entitled to such compensation in connection with an alternative business combination, should the Business Combination be terminated, and remains entitled to customary indemnification and contribution obligations of Inflection Point in connection with the Business Combination” for additional information.

Q.     What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

A.      The Business Combination Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including without limitation: (i) the adoption and/or approval, as applicable, by Inflection Point’s shareholders of the Condition Precedent Proposals, (ii) the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination by the Intuitive Machines Members, (iii) Inflection Point having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) upon the Closing, (iv) the registration statement of which the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus forms a part becoming effective, (v) approval of the listing of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq, subject to satisfaction of the round

lot holders requirement for initial listing, (vi) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party to the Business Combination Agreement and the performance of the covenants and agreements of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, (vii) the completion of the Domestication, (viii) that Kingstown 1740 shall not have exercised redemption rights with respect to its 2,900,000 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares, (ix) the completion of the Conversion and Recapitalization, (x) the absence of an Intuitive Machines Material Adverse Effect or an Inflection Point Material Adverse Effect (each as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) and (xi) the substantially simultaneous closing of the Series A Investment. For more information about conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Business Combination Agreement.”

Q.     When do you expect the Business Combination to be completed?

A.     It is currently expected that the Business Combination will be consummated in the first quarter of 2023. This date depends, among other things, on the approval of the proposals to be put to Inflection Point shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting. However, such meeting could be adjourned if the Adjournment Proposal is adopted by Inflection Point’s shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting and Inflection Point elects to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the Business Combination, see “The Business Combination Proposal — Business Combination Agreement” of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q.     What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

A.     Inflection Point will not complete the Domestication to the State of Delaware unless all other conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination have been satisfied or waived by the parties in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. If Inflection Point is not able to complete the Business Combination with Intuitive Machines by September 24, 2023 and is not able to complete another business combination by such date, in each case, as such date may be extended pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, Inflection Point will: (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (b) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest will be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the Inflection Point Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Q.     Following the Business Combination, will Inflection Point’s securities continue to trade on a stock exchange?

A.     Yes. Inflection Point intends to apply to list the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols “LUNR” and “LUNRW”, respectively, upon the Closing. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, as a closing condition, Inflection Point is required to cause the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Business Combination to be approved for listing on Nasdaq, but there can be no assurance that such listing condition will be met. If such listing condition is not met, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the listing condition is waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement. Further, it is a condition to the consummation of the Series A Investment that the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock be approved for listing on Nasdaq. It is important for you to know that, at the time of our extraordinary general meeting, we may not have received from Nasdaq either confirmation of the listing of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants or that approval will be obtained prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and it is possible that the listing condition to the consummation of the Business Combination may be waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement and by the Series A Investors. As a result, you may be asked to vote to approve the Business Combination and the other proposals included in this proxy statement/prospectus without such confirmation, and, further, it is possible that such confirmation may never be received and the Business Combination could still be consummated if such condition is waived and therefore the New Intuitive Machines securities would not be listed on any nationally recognized securities exchange.

The Inflection Point Units outstanding as of immediately prior to the Domestication will, as a result of the Domestication, automatically be canceled and each holder thereof will receive one share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and one-half of one New Intuitive Machines Warrant, for each Inflection Point Unit. As a result, the Inflection Point Units will no longer trade as separate securities following the Closing. The New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock, the New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock and the Preferred Investor Warrants will not be publicly traded.

Q.     Do I have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination?

A.     Neither Inflection Point’s shareholders nor Inflection Point’s warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under Cayman Islands law or under the DGCL.

Q.     What do I need to do now?

A.     Inflection Point urges you to read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a shareholder or warrant holder. Inflection Point’s shareholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.

Q.     How do I vote?

A.     If you are a holder of record of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares on the Record Date for the extraordinary general meeting, you may vote in person at the extraordinary general meeting or by submitting a proxy for the extraordinary general meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage-paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote in person, obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Q.     If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A.     No. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial holder” of the shares held for you in what is known as “street name.” If this is the case, this proxy statement/prospectus may have been forwarded to you by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, or its agent, and you may need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker, bank or nominee as to how to vote your shares. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. We believe all the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. As the beneficial holder, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares and you should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker on a particular proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, your shares will not be voted on that proposal. This is called a “broker non-vote.” Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal under Cayman Islands law.

Q.     When and where will the extraordinary general meeting be held?

A.     The extraordinary general meeting will be held at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on February 8, 2023 at the offices of White & Case LLP located at 1221 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10020, and virtually via live webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/inflectionpointacquisition/2023. You may also attend the special meeting telephonically by dialing 1 (800) 450-7155 (toll-free within the United States and Canada) or +1 (857) 999-9155 (outside of the United States and Canada, standard rates apply). The pin number for telephone access is 9787174#, but please note that you will not be able to vote or otherwise participate if you choose to access the extraordinary general meeting telephonically.

Q.     Who is entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting?

A.     Inflection Point has fixed January 10, 2023 as the Record Date for the extraordinary general meeting.

However, a shareholder may only vote his or her shares if he or she is present in person or is represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting.

Q.     How many votes do I have?

A.     Inflection Point shareholders are entitled to one vote at the extraordinary general meeting for each Inflection Point Ordinary Share held of record as of the Record Date. As of the close of business on the Record Date for the extraordinary general meeting, there were 41,218,750 Inflection Point Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, of which 32,975,000 were issued and outstanding Public Shares.

Q.     What constitutes a quorum?

A.     A quorum of Inflection Point shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person or by proxy. As of the Record Date for the extraordinary general meeting, 20,609,376 Inflection Point Ordinary Shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

Q.     What vote is required to approve each proposal at the extraordinary general meeting?

A.     Business Combination Proposal — The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

Domestication Proposal — The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will have no right to vote on the Domestication Proposal.

Stock Issuance Proposal — The approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

Organizational Documents Proposal — The approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals — The separate approval of each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires a special resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

Incentive Plan Proposal — The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

Director Election Proposal — The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

Adjournment Proposal — The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote all the Founder Shares and any Public Shares it may hold in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the Record Date, the Sponsor owns approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares. Although it is not required to do so, Kingstown 1740 has advised us that it intends to vote all Public Shares it holds in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the Record Date, the Sponsor and Kingstown 1740 collectively own approximately 27% of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Questions and Answers for Shareholders of Inflection Point — How do the Sponsor and its affiliates intend to vote their Inflection Point Ordinary Shares?

Q.     What are the recommendations of the Inflection Point Board?

A.     The Inflection Point Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting are in the best interest of Inflection Point’s shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of each of the separate Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Director Election Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Inflection Point’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Inflection Point and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Inflection Point’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. The Inflection Point Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in approving the Business Combination and in determining to recommend to the Inflection Point Shareholders to vote in favor of the Shareholder Proposals. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Inflection Point Persons in the Business Combination.”

Q.     How do the Sponsor and its affiliates intend to vote their Inflection Point Ordinary Shares?

A.     The Sponsor has agreed to vote all the Founder Shares and any Public Shares it may hold in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the Record Date, the Sponsor owns approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares. Although it is not required to do so, Kingstown 1740 has advised us that it intends to vote all Public Shares it holds in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the Record Date, the Sponsor and Kingstown 1740 collectively own approximately 27% of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, the Domestication Proposal will be approved and if holders of an additional approximately 40% of the outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares (assuming all Inflection Point Ordinary Shares are voted) vote in favor of all of the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting, the other proposals will also be approved.

At any time at or prior to the Closing, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material non-public information), the Sponsor, the Intuitive Machines Members or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may (a) purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, Public Shares, (b) execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or (c) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares, vote their Public Shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals or not redeem their Public Shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, the Intuitive Machines Members or

30

Table of Contents

our or their respective directors, officers, advisors, or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their Public Shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (a) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Director Election Proposal, (b) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the Organizational Documents Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting, and (c) otherwise limiting the number of Public Shares electing to redeem.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the price of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares (e.g., by giving an investor or holder the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market, such investor or holder may therefore become more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination). If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Inflection Point’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Inflection Point and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Inflection Point’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Inflection Point Persons in the Business Combination.”

Q.     Do the Sponsor and Inflection Point’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that differ from or are in addition to the interests of Inflection Point’s shareholders generally?

A.     Yes. The Sponsor and Inflection Point’s officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Inflection Point’s shareholders generally. The Inflection Point Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in approving the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, and in determining to recommend that Inflection Point’s shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Inflection Point Persons in the Business Combination” for more information.

Q.     What happens if I sell my Inflection Point Ordinary Shares before the extraordinary general meeting?

A.     The Record Date for the extraordinary general meeting is earlier than the date of the extraordinary general meeting and earlier than the date that the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your Public Shares after the applicable Record Date, but before the extraordinary general meeting, unless you grant a proxy to the transferee, you will retain your right to vote at the extraordinary general meeting but the transferee, and not you, will have the ability to redeem such shares, so long as such transferee takes the required steps to elect to redeem such shares at least two business days prior to scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting.

Q.     How can I vote my shares without attending the extraordinary general meeting?

A.     If you are a shareholder of record of our Inflection Point Ordinary Shares as of the close of business on the Record Date, you can vote by proxy by mail by following the instructions provided in the enclosed proxy card or at the extraordinary general meeting. Please note that if you are a beneficial owner of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, you may vote by submitting voting instructions to your broker, bank or nominee, or otherwise by following instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee. Telephone and internet voting will be available to beneficial owners. Please refer to the vote instruction form provided by your broker, bank or nominee.

Q.     May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A.     Yes. Shareholders may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to Inflection Point’s Co-Chief Executive Officers at Inflection Point’s address set forth below so that it is received by Inflection Point’s Co-Chief Executive Officers prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting (which is scheduled to take place on February 8, 2023 at 11:00 am Eastern Time) or attend the extraordinary general meeting in person and vote. Shareholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to Inflection Point’s Co-Chief Executive Officers, which must be received by Inflection Point’s Co-Chief Executive Officers prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting. However, if your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or another nominee, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote.

Q.     What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting?

A.     If you fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting and the Business Combination is approved by shareholders and the Business Combination is consummated, you will become a stockholder and/or warrant holder of New Intuitive Machines. If you fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you will remain a shareholder and/or warrant holder of Inflection Point. However, if you fail to vote with respect to the extraordinary general meeting, you will nonetheless be able to elect to redeem your Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination, so long as you take the required steps to elect to redeem your shares at least two business days prior to the scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting.

Q.     What happens if I vote against the Business Combination Proposal?

A.     If you vote against the Business Combination Proposal but the Business Combination Proposal still obtains the requisite shareholder approval described in this proxy statement/prospectus, then the Business Combination Proposal will be approved and, assuming the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to the closing of the Business Combination, the Business Combination will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

If you vote against the Business Combination Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal does not obtain the requisite vote at the extraordinary general meeting, then the Business Combination Proposal will fail and we will not consummate the Business Combination. If we do not consummate the Business Combination Proposal, we may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target business until September 24, 2023 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date). If we fail to complete an initial business combination by September 24, 2023 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), then we will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning then-remaining funds in the Trust Account to the Public Shareholders.

Q.     What should I do with my share certificates, warrant certificates or unit certificates?

A.     Our shareholders who exercise their redemption rights must deliver (either physically or electronically) their share certificates (if any) along with the redemption forms to Continental, prior to the extraordinary general meeting.

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Public Shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 6, 2023 (two business days before the scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their Public Shares to be redeemed.

Our warrant holders should not submit the certificates relating to their warrants. Public Shareholders who do not elect to have their Public Shares redeemed for the pro rata share of the Trust Account should not submit the certificates relating to their Public Shares.

Upon the Domestication, holders of Inflection Point Units, Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares (including holders of Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares that have their Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares automatically converted into Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents immediately prior to the Domestication) and Inflection Point Warrants will receive shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants, as the case may be, without needing to take any action and, accordingly, such holders should not submit any certificates relating to their Inflection Point Units, Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares (unless such holder elects to redeem the Public Shares in accordance with the procedures set forth above), Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares or Inflection Point Warrants.

Q.     What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A.     Shareholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

Q.     Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the extraordinary general meeting?

A.     Inflection Point will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the extraordinary general meeting. Inflection Point has engaged Morrow Sodali to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the extraordinary general meeting. Inflection Point has agreed to pay Morrow Sodali a fee of $40,000, plus disbursements. Inflection Point will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Inflection Point’s directors and officers may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

Q.     Where can I find the voting results of the extraordinary general meeting?

A.     The preliminary voting results are expected to be announced at the extraordinary general meeting. Inflection Point will publish final voting results of the extraordinary general meeting in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the extraordinary general meeting.

The Proposals to be Submitted at the Extraordinary General Meeting

The Business Combination Proposal

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, Inflection Point is asking its shareholders to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. The Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, following the Domestication of Inflection Point to Delaware and the Conversion and Recapitalization of Intuitive Machines as described below, New Intuitive Machines acquiring equity securities and becoming the managing member of Intuitive Machines OpCo and New Intuitive Machines issuing voting equity securities without economic rights to the Intuitive Machines Members, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, resulting in a combined company organized in an Up-C structure in which substantially all of the assets and the business of the combined company will be held by Intuitive Machines OpCo, as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Inflection Point Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination”, the Inflection Point Board concluded that the Business Combination met the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for the IPO.

Organizational Structure

On September 16, 2022, Inflection Point entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Intuitive Machines, pursuant to which, among other things, subject to shareholder approval, following the Domestication, (a) New Intuitive Machines will acquire equity securities and become the managing member of Intuitive Machines OpCo and (b) New Intuitive Machines will issue voting equity securities without economic rights to the Intuitive Machines Members. Our organizational structure following the completion of the Business Combination, as described herein, is commonly

34

Table of Contents

referred to as an umbrella partnership-C corporation (or Up-C) structure. This organizational structure will allow the Intuitive Machines Members to retain their equity ownership in Intuitive Machines, an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the form of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units. Those investors who, prior to the Business Combination, held Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares or Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares will, by contrast, hold their equity ownership in New Intuitive Machines, which is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Inflection Point believes that the Intuitive Machines Members will generally find it advantageous to continue to hold their equity interests in an entity that is not taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Inflection Point does not believe that the Up-C organizational structure will give rise to any significant business or strategic detriment to Inflection Point. New Intuitive Machines expects to benefit from the Up-C structure in the form of generally retaining 15% of the cash tax savings derived from certain tax benefits that are the subject of the Tax Receivable Agreement that New Intuitive Machines may realize in connection with and after the Business Combination. See the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Domestication and the Business Combination” of this proxy statement/prospectus.

In connection with the Business Combination, New Intuitive Machines, Intuitive Machines OpCo and the TRA Holders will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, New Intuitive Machines will be required to pay to each TRA Holder 85% of the amount of cash tax savings, if any, that New Intuitive Machines actually realizes (or in some circumstances is deemed to realize) as a result of the Existing Basis, Basis Adjustments and Interest Deductions. For more information on the Tax Receivable Agreement, please see the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Tax Receivable Agreement” of this proxy statement/prospectus. Prior to and as a condition of the Closing, pursuant to the Domestication, Inflection Point will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by migrating to and domesticating as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the DGCL, as amended, and the Companies Act. For more information, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Domestication Proposal.”

The following diagrams illustrate in simplified terms the current structure of Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines and the expected structure of New Intuitive Machines immediately following the Closing (ownership voting and economic percentages are presented assuming no redemptions and exclude (i) up to 10,000,000 Earn Out Units and (ii) shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of 16,487,500 Public Warrants and 6,845,000 Private Placement Warrants.

Simplified Post-Combination Structure

Business Combination Agreement Consideration

As a result of the Up-C structure, the Business Combination Consideration to be received by Intuitive Machines Members will consist of securities of both Intuitive Machines OpCo having economic rights but not voting rights and New Intuitive Machines having voting rights but not economic rights. In particular, the Business Combination Consideration to be received by the Intuitive Machines Members will be an aggregate of (a) (i) 68,125,987 Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units, (ii) 1,874,013 Intuitive Machines OpCo Options and (iii) up to 10,000,000 Earn Out Units and (b) (i) 278 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock (excluding 1,874,013 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of Intuitive Machines OpCo Options) and (ii) 68,125,709 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock (excluding 10,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock reserved for issuance upon vesting of the Earn Out Units).

Immediately prior to the Closing, Intuitive Machines will effectuate the Recapitalization whereby all outstanding equity securities of Intuitive Machines will be converted into Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units, Intuitive Machines OpCo Options and Earn Out Units. At Closing, New Intuitive Machines will issue (i) to each Intuitive Machines Founder a number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock equal to the number of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units held by such Intuitive Machines Founder as of and on the Closing Date and (ii) to each other Intuitive Machines Member a number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock equal to the number of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units held by such Intuitive Machines Member as of and on the Closing Date, in each case, pursuant to individual subscription agreements to be entered into between each Intuitive Machines Member, New Intuitive Machines, and Intuitive Machines OpCo.

As part of the Recapitalization, the 10,000,000 Earn Out Units received by the applicable Intuitive Machines Members will be deposited into escrow at the Closing and will be earned, released and delivered upon satisfaction of the following milestones: (i) 2,500,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, during the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event I occurs (Intuitive Machines is awarded the OMES III Contract by NASA), (ii) 5,000,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, within the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event I has occurred and Triggering Event II-A occurs (the volume weighted average closing sale price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share), (iii) 7,500,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, within the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event I has not occurred and Triggering Event II-B occurs (the volume weighted average closing sale price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equals

or exceeds $15.00 per share), and (iv) 2,500,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, within the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event III occurs (the volume weighted average closing sale price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $17.50 per share), provided, that Triggering Event II-A and Triggering Event II-B may not both be achieved. With respect to Triggering Event I, the Earn-Out Period is the time period beginning on September 16, 2022 and ending at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on December 31, 2023. With respect to Triggering Event II-A, Triggering Event II-B and Triggering Event III, the Earn-Out Period is the time period beginning on the date that is 150 days following the Closing Date and ending on the date that is the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date.

If a Change of Control (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) occurs during the Earn Out Period that results in the holders of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock receiving a per share price greater than or equal to $15.00 or $17.50, respectively, then immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, to the extent not previously triggered, then Triggering Event II-A, Triggering Event II-B and/or Triggering Event III will be deemed to have occurred, as applicable, and the Earn Out Units shall vest.

Upon the vesting of any Earn Out Units, each applicable Intuitive Machines Member will be issued an equal number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, in exchange for the payment by such Intuitive Machines Member of adequate consideration (in each case, not to exceed a per-share price equal to the par value per share of such New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock).

Each Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Unit, when paired with one share of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock or one share of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, will be exchangeable, in tandem with the cancellation of the paired share of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock or share of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, for one share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock. After the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, holders of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units will be permitted to exchange such Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units (along with the cancellation of the paired share of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock or share of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock) for shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis pursuant to the Second A&R Operating Agreement (subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications) or at the election of New Intuitive Machines (determined by a majority of the directors of New Intuitive Machines who are disinterested with respect to such determination), cash from a substantially concurrent public offering or private sale in an amount equal to the net amount, on a per share basis, of cash received as a result of such public offering or private sale.

As part of the Recapitalization, each outstanding option of Intuitive Machines, whether vested or unvested, will become an Intuitive Machines OpCo Option with substantially the same terms and conditions as applicable to such option immediately prior to the Recapitalization (including expiration date, vesting conditions and exercise provisions), except that each such Intuitive Machines OpCo Option shall be exercisable for Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units. Upon the exercise of any Intuitive Machines OpCo Option, (i) Intuitive Machines OpCo will issue to the exercising holder such number of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units to be received by such exercising holder as a result of such exercise and (ii) New Intuitive Machines will issue to the exercising holder an equal number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock, in exchange for the payment to New Intuitive Machines of adequate consideration (in each case, not to exceed a per-share price equal to the par value per share of such New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock). In connection with the Sponsor Support Agreement, if immediately prior to the Closing, (i) the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(f) (No Redemption) and Section 7.02(g) (Kingstown Investment) of the Business Combination Agreement are not satisfied and (ii) the deferred underwriting commission paid to the underwriters of Inflection Point’s IPO at the Closing is greater than $5,770,625, then the Sponsor will deposit 500,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock into escrow (the “Sponsor Earn Out Shares”) in accordance with the terms of the Sponsor Support Agreement. As Citi has waived its entitlement to the deferred underwriting discount in connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor will not be required to deposit the Sponsor Earn Out Shares into escrow.

Closing Conditions

The Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, approval of the Business Combination and related agreements and transactions by the respective shareholders of Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines, the completion of the Domestication, and the performance of Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines in all material respects all of their respective obligations and covenants under the Business Combination Agreement.

Related Agreements

This section describes certain additional agreements entered into or to be entered into pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements.”

A&R Registration Rights Agreement

At the Closing, Inflection Point, the Sponsor, certain Intuitive Machines Members and the Series A Investors will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor, such Intuitive Machines Members and the Series A Investors will be granted certain customary registration rights, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein, with respect to securities of New Intuitive Machines that they will hold following the Business Combination.

Member Voting and Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, each of the Intuitive Machines Founders entered into the Member Voting and Support Agreement pursuant to which each of the Intuitive Machines Founders agreed to, among other things, vote and approve the Business Combination Agreement and all other documents and transaction contemplated thereby, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Member Voting and Support Agreement.

Sponsor Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor, Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to, among other things, vote and approve the Business Combination Agreement and all other documents and transaction contemplated thereby, and to waive, subject to the consummation of the Business Combination, any and all anti-dilution rights with respect to the rate that the Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares convert into Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sponsor Support Agreement. In connection with the Sponsor Support Agreement, Inflection Point provided the Sponsor with indemnification against certain claims brought against the Sponsor for a period of six years following the Closing.

Tax Receivable Agreement

At the Closing, New Intuitive Machines will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement with Intuitive Machines OpCo and the TRA Holders that will provide for the payment by New Intuitive Machines to the TRA Holders of 85% of the amount of cash tax savings, if any, that New Intuitive Machines actually realizes (or in some circumstances is deemed to realize) as a result of the Existing Basis, Basis Adjustments and Interest Deductions. Assuming no material changes in the relevant tax law and that New Intuitive Machines earns sufficient taxable income to realize all tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, we expect that the tax savings associated with the (i) Existing Basis, (ii) Basis Adjustments, and (iii) Interest Deductions would aggregate to approximately $170.4 million over 20 years from the date of the Business Combination based on a $10.00 per share trading price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and assuming all future redemptions or exchanges would occur one year after the Business Combination at the same assumed price per share. Under such scenario, assuming future payments are made on the due date (with extension) of each relevant U.S. federal income tax return, New Intuitive Machines would be required to pay approximately 87% of such amount, or approximately $148.2 million, over the 20-year period from the date of the Business Combination, and New Intuitive Machines would benefit from the remaining 13% of the tax benefits. New Intuitive Machines will depend on cash distributions from Intuitive Machines OpCo to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Any payments made by New Intuitive Machines to the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of cash that might have otherwise been available to New Intuitive Machines. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Tax Receivable Agreement.”

Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement

At the Closing, the Sponsor and New Intuitive Machines will enter into a Lock-Up Agreement (the “Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor and its permitted assigns will agree not to, without the prior written consent of the New Intuitive Machines Board, prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, (i) sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of (a) any shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock the Sponsor received upon conversion of the Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares it received upon conversion of its Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Domestication (the “Sponsor Lock-Up Shares”), (ii) enter into any swap or other transfer arrangement in respect of the Sponsor Lock-Up Shares or (iii) take any other similar actions (the actions specified in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), collectively, “Transfer”). The Sponsor also will agree to not Transfer any New Intuitive Machines Warrants received upon conversion of its Private Placement Warrants in connection with the Domestication (or the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants), prior to the date that is 30 days after the Closing Date. The Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement provides for certain permitted transfers, including but not limited to, transfers to certain affiliates or family members, transfers of shares acquired on the open market after the consummation of the Business Combination, subject to certain conditions, or the exercise of certain stock options and warrants.

Intuitive Machines Lock-Up Agreement

At the Closing, New Intuitive Machines, certain Intuitive Machines Members (the “Lock-Up Holders”) will enter into a Lock-Up Agreement (the “Intuitive Machines Lock-Up Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lock-Up Holders will agree not to, without the prior written consent of the New Intuitive Machines Board, prior to the date that is six months after the Closing (i) sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of (a) any shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, (b) any shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such options to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock held immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, or (c) any securities convertible into, or exercisable, redeemable or exchangeable for, New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock held by such holder immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination (the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and securities specified in clauses (a) through (c), collectively, the “Lock-up Shares”), (ii) enter into any swap or other transfer arrangement in respect of any Lock-Up Shares or (iii) take any action in furtherance of any of the matters described in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii). The Intuitive Machines Lock-Up Agreement provides for certain permitted transfers, including but not limited to, transfers to certain affiliates or family members, transfers of shares acquired on the open market after the consummation of the Business Combination, subject to certain conditions, or the exercise of certain stock options and warrants.

Non-Redemption Agreement

Kingstown 1740 has entered into two separate, but overlapping agreements waiving certain redemption rights with respect to shares of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares underlying Inflection Point Units purchased by Kingstown 1740 in the IPO.

In connection with the IPO, Kingstown 1740 entered into a limited redemption waiver agreement with Inflection Point dated September 21, 2021 (the “IPO Redemption Waiver”). The IPO Redemption Waiver provides that, only for so long as necessary in order for Inflection Point to have shareholders’ equity of at least $5,000,001, Kingstown 1740 has waived its rights to redeem 1,386,989 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares (the “IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares”) underlying 1,386,989 of the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Units purchased by it in the IPO in connection with (a) the consummation of an initial business combination, and (b) in connection with a shareholder vote to amend Inflection Point’s Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of Inflection Point’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares that are not IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares if it does not complete its initial business combination by September 24, 2023 (or such later date if Inflection Point submits and its shareholders approve an extension of such date) or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity or in the context of a tender offer made by Inflection Point to purchase Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares (each of (a) and (b) an “IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Event”). However, if, at the time of an IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Event, it is not necessary for Kingstown 1740 to waive redemption rights with respect to any or all of the IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares in order for Inflection Point to have shareholders’ equity of $5,000,001, the IPO Redemption Waiver

39

Table of Contents

automatically and without further action by Inflection Point or Kingstown 1740, will terminate and will be of no further force and effect with respect to such IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares in connection with such IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Event. No consideration was provided to Kingstown 1740 in exchange for the IPO Redemption Waiver.

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines entered into a non-redemption agreement (the “Non-Redemption Agreement”) with Kingstown 1740, an affiliate of the Sponsor, pursuant to which Kingstown agreed not to redeem any of the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Units purchased by it in the IPO (the “Business Combination Non-Redemption Covered Shares”). The Business Combination Non-Redemption Covered Shares include the 1,386,989 IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares, as well as the other 1,513,011 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Units purchased by Kingstown 1740 in the IPO. In contrast to the IPO Redemption Waiver, which only applies to the IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Events, and only if and to the extent necessary in order for Inflection Point to have shareholders’ equity of $5,000,001, the Non-Redemption Agreement is a general waiver of Kingstown 1740’s redemption rights with respect to the Business Combination Non-Redemption Shares. The Non-Redemption Agreement prohibits Kingstown 1740 from exercising redemption rights with respect to the Business Combination Non-Redemption Covered Shares in connection with the Business Combination or otherwise unless and until the Non-Redemption Agreement terminates. The Non-Redemption Agreement will terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the Closing and (c) the mutual consent of Inflection Point, Intuitive Machines and Kingstown 1740. No consideration was provided to Kingstown 1740 in exchange for entering the Non-Redemption Agreement.

Stock Escrow & Earn Out Agreement

In connection with the Sponsor Support Agreement, if immediately prior to the Closing, (i) the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(f) (No Redemption) and Section 7.02(g) (Kingstown Investment) of the Business Combination Agreement are not satisfied and (ii) the deferred underwriting commission paid to the underwriters of Inflection Point’s IPO at the Closing is greater than $5,770,625, then the Sponsor will deposit the 500,000 Sponsor Earnout Shares into escrow in accordance with the terms of the Sponsor Support Agreement. As Citi has waived its entitlement to the deferred underwriting discount in connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor will not be required to deposit the Sponsor Earn Out Shares into escrow.

Series A Purchase Agreement and Preferred Investor Warrants

On September 16, 2022, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Inflection Point entered into a purchase agreement (the “Series A Purchase Agreement”) with Kingstown 1740 (an existing security holder of Inflection Point and an affiliate of the Sponsor) and Ghaffarian Enterprises, LLC (an affiliate of Dr. Kamal Ghaffarian, an Intuitive Machines Founder) (collectively, the “Series A Investors”), pursuant to which, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, New Intuitive Machines agreed to issue and sell to the Series A Investors (i) an aggregate of 26,000 shares of 10% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which will be convertible into shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of 10% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) to be adopted by the Inflection Point Board following the Domestication but prior to the Closing and (ii) warrants to purchase 541,667 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $15.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Preferred Investor Warrants”) in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Investor Warrants. The Series A Investment will be consummated following the Domestication but immediately prior to the Closing.

Cantor Share Purchase Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Inflection Point entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Cantor Purchase Agreement”) with CF Principal Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (”CFPI”) relating to an equity facility (the “Equity Facility”). Pursuant to the terms of the Cantor Purchase Agreement, New Intuitive Machines will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its sole discretion, until the first day of the month following the 18-month period from and after the initial satisfaction of the conditions to CFPI’s obligation to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement (the “Commencement”), to direct CFPI to purchase up to the lesser of (i) $50 million

40

Table of Contents

of newly issued New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and (ii) the Exchange Cap (as defined below), by delivering written notice to CFPI prior to the commencement of trading on any trading day, subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement.

The purchase price of the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock that New Intuitive Machines elects to sell to CFPI pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement will be 97.5% of the volume weighted average price of the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock during the applicable purchase date on which New Intuitive Machines has timely delivered written notice to CFPI directing it to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock under the Cantor Purchase Agreement.

Sales of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock to CFPI under the Cantor Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, will be determined by New Intuitive Machines from time to time in its sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and determinations by New Intuitive Machines regarding the use of proceeds of such sales. The net proceeds from any sales under the Cantor Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency with, and prices at, which the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock are sold to CFPI. New Intuitive Machines expects to use the proceeds from any sales under the Cantor Purchase Agreement for working capital and general corporate purposes. Under the applicable rules of Nasdaq, in no event may New Intuitive Machines issue to CFPI under the Cantor Purchase Agreement more than 19.99% of the voting power or number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock outstanding, calculated in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules (the “Exchange Cap”), unless (i) New Intuitive Machines obtains stockholder approval to issue shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules, or (ii) the average purchase price per share for all of the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock sold to CFPI under the Cantor Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds the lower of (a) the Nasdaq official closing price for the ordinary shares of the Company on the date of the Cantor Purchase Agreement and (b) the arithmetic average of the five Nasdaq official closing prices for the Common Stock during the five-trading day period ending on (and including) the date of the Cantor Purchase Agreement, as adjusted pursuant to applicable Nasdaq rules.

To induce CFPI to enter into the Cantor Purchase Agreement, Inflection Point agreed that, after the Closing Date, New Intuitive Machines will deliver to CFPI a number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) $1,000,000 and (ii) the closing price of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock on an agreed date (the “Commitment Shares”). Subject to limited exceptions described below, the entire amount of the Commitment Shares shall be fully earned by CFPI and shall be non-refundable as of the Closing, regardless of whether any purchases are made or settled under the Cantor Purchase Agreement or any subsequent termination of the Cantor Purchase Agreement. To the extent, after the resale of all Commitment Shares by CFPI the net proceeds of the resale of such Commitment Shares by CFPI is less than $1,000,000, New Intuitive Machines will pay CFPI the difference between $1,000,000 and the net proceeds of the resale of the Commitment Shares received by CFPI in cash. The Cantor Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations by each party. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Cantor Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the Cantor Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and are subject to certain important limitations.

Cantor Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with Inflection Point’s entry into the Cantor Purchase Agreement, Inflection Point entered into a registration rights agreement with CFPI (the “Cantor Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which Inflection Point agreed to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock that are sold to CFPI under the Equity Facility and the Commitment Shares.

Second A&R Operating Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, Intuitive Machines will amend and restate its limited liability company agreement by adopting the Second A&R Operating Agreement in substantially the form attached as Annex G hereto. The Second A&R Operating Agreement will (i) permit the issuance and ownership of the post-Recapitalization equity of Intuitive Machines as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and (ii) admit New Intuitive Machines as the managing member of Intuitive Machines. The Intuitive Machines Founders will control New Intuitive Machines immediately after the Closing by virtue of their ownership of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock.

The Domestication Proposal

As a condition to closing the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Inflection Point Board has unanimously approved the Domestication Proposal. The Domestication Proposal, if approved by the holders of Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares, will authorize a change of Inflection Point’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while Inflection Point is currently governed by the Companies Act, upon the Domestication, New Intuitive Machines will be governed by the DGCL. There are differences between Cayman Islands corporate law and Delaware corporate law as well as between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents. Accordingly, Inflection Point encourages shareholders to carefully review the information in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Domestication Proposal — Comparison of Shareholder Rights under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After Domestication.”

Immediately prior to the Domestication, pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, each Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Share then issued and outstanding will automatically convert into one Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share. Immediately following such conversion, in connection with the Domestication, (a) each Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication will automatically convert into one share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, (b) each Inflection Point Warrant will be automatically converted into a New Intuitive Machines Warrant on the same terms as the Inflection Point Warrants, and (c) each Inflection Point Unit issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Domestication will automatically be canceled and each holder thereof will receive one share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and one-half of one New Intuitive Machines Warrant, per Inflection Point Unit. No fractional New Intuitive Machines Warrants will be issued in the process described in clause (c).

For additional information, see the section entitled “The Domestication Proposal” of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Stock Issuance Proposal

Inflection Point’s shareholders are also being asked to approve by ordinary resolution the Stock Issuance Proposal for purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 (a) and (b).

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of another company if such securities are not issued in a public offering and (A) have, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock); or (B) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance that will result in a change of control of the issuer.

The aggregate number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock that New Intuitive Machines will issue in connection with the Business Combination and that will be issuable in connection with the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Preferred Investor Warrants to be issued in the Series A Investment will exceed 20% of both the voting power and the New Intuitive Machines Common Stock outstanding before such issuance. Further, the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Preferred Investor Warrants and the New Intuitive Machines Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination may result in a change of control of the registrant under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b). Accordingly, Inflection Point is seeking the approval of Inflection Point’s shareholders for the issuance of (i) (A) 26,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at an initial conversion ratio determined by dividing the Accrued Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock by the conversion price of $12.00 per share, subject to adjustment, at the holder’s option), (B) Preferred Investor Warrants to purchase 541,667 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $15.00 per share, subject to adjustment, to the Series A Investors in connection with the Series A Investment and (C) the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Preferred Investor Warrants, (ii) up to an estimated 1,874,291 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock to the Intuitive Machines Members other than the Intuitive Machines Founders, (iii) up to an estimated 78,125,709 shares of

New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock to the Intuitive Machines Founders and (iv) any other issuances of common stock and securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock pursuant to subscription, purchase or similar agreements we may enter into prior to Closing.

For additional information, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Stock Issuance Proposal.”

The Organizational Documents Proposal

Inflection Point will ask its shareholders to approve, by special resolution, the Organizational Documents Proposal in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents, under the Companies Act, with the Proposed Organizational Documents, under the DGCL. The Inflection Point Board has unanimously approved the Organizational Documents Proposal and believes such proposal is necessary to adequately address the needs of New Intuitive Machines following the Closing. Approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

For additional information, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Organizational Documents Proposal.”

The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals

Inflection Point will ask its shareholders to approve by special resolution on a non-binding advisory basis seven separate Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents, under the Companies Act, with the Proposed Organizational Documents, under the DGCL. The Inflection Point Board has unanimously approved the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals and believes such proposals are necessary to adequately address the needs of Intuitive Machines after the Business Combination. Approval of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals is not a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

A brief summary of each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals is set forth below. These summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Organizational Documents.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5A — Under the Proposed Organizational Documents, New Intuitive Machines would be authorized to issue (A) 500,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, (B) 100,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock, (C) 100,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock and (D) 25,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Preferred Stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5B — The Proposed Organizational Documents would authorize a multi-class common stock structure pursuant to which the holders of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per share and holders of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock will be entitled to three votes per share.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5C — The Proposed Organizational Documents would adopt a provision providing that each outstanding share of New Intuitive Machines Class Common C Stock shall automatically convert into one share of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock upon the earliest to occur of (i) the date that is seven years from the effectiveness of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and (ii) the first date when the Permitted Class C Owners (as defined in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation) collectively cease to own at least 33.0% of the number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock collectively held by them as of immediately following the Closing.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5D — The Proposed Organizational Documents would adopt (a) Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation and (b) the federal district courts of the United States of America as the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5E — The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation would require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of New Intuitive Machines to amend, alter, repeal or rescind any provision of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, other than Articles I (Name), II (Registered Address), and III (Nature of Business), which would require the affirmative vote of a majority of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of New Intuitive Machines.

Table of Contents

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5F — The Proposed Organizational Documents would permit the removal of a director only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of New Intuitive Machines.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5G — The Proposed Organizational Documents would provide that for so long as New Intuitive Machines qualifies as a controlled company under applicable Nasdaq rules, any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of all then-outstanding shares of New Intuitive Machines may be taken without a meeting if signed by the holders having not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted in compliance with the DGCL. From and after the date that New Intuitive Machines ceases to qualify as a controlled company, the Proposed Organizational Documents require stockholders to take action at an annual or special meeting and prohibit stockholder action by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

The Incentive Plan Proposal

Inflection Point is proposing that its shareholders approve by ordinary resolution the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, which will become effective upon the Closing and will be used by New Intuitive Machines on a going-forward basis following the Closing.

For additional information, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Incentive Plan Proposal.”

The Director Election Proposal

Inflection Point is proposing that its shareholders approve, effective upon the Closing of the Business Combination, the election of five (5) directors to serve staggered terms on the New Intuitive Machines Board until the 2023, 2024 and 2025 annual meetings of stockholders, respectively, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

For additional information, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Director Election Proposal.”

The Adjournment Proposal

If, based on the tabulated vote, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the extraordinary general meeting to authorize Inflection Point to consummate the Business Combination (because any of the Condition Precedent Proposals have not been approved (including as a result of the failure of any other cross-conditioned Condition Precedent Proposals to be approved)), the Inflection Point Board may submit a proposal to the shareholders to approve by way of an ordinary resolution the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies.

For additional information, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Adjournment Proposal.”

Beneficial shareholders should contact Continental at least five business days prior to the extraordinary general meeting date in order to ensure access.

Voting Power; Record Date

Inflection Point’s shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting if they owned Inflection Point Ordinary Shares at the close of business on January 10, 2023, which is the Record Date for the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders will have one vote for each Inflection Point Ordinary Share owned at the close of business on the Record Date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. Inflection Point Warrants do not have voting rights. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 41,218,750 Inflection Point Ordinary Shares outstanding, of which 32,975,000 were Public Shares, with the rest being Founder Shares held by Inflection Point’s Sponsor.

Quorum and Vote of Inflection Point Shareholders

A quorum of Inflection Point shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person or by proxy (which would include presence at the extraordinary general meeting). Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal.

As of the Record Date for the extraordinary general meeting, 20,609,376 Inflection Point Ordinary Shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote all the Founder Shares and any Public Shares it may hold in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. In addition, although it is not required to do so, Kingstown 1740, an affiliate of the Sponsor, has advised us that it intends to vote all Public Shares it holds in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the Record Date, the Sponsor owns approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares and the Sponsor and Kingstown 1740 collectively own approximately 27% of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares. As a result, Inflection Point would need only 9,465,626, or approximately 28.7%, of the Public Shares not held by affiliates, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to approve the Business Combination Proposal (assuming all outstanding shares are voted). If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, no additional shares would need to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to approve the Business Combination Proposal.

The proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting require the following votes:

        Business Combination Proposal — The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

45

Table of Contents

        Domestication Proposal — The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will have no right to vote on the Domestication Proposal.

        Stock Issuance Proposal — The approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

        Organizational Documents Proposal — The approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

        Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals — The separate approval of each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires a special resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

        Incentive Plan Proposal — The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

        Director Election Proposal — The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

        Adjournment Proposal — The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a Public Shareholder may request to redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(a)     (i) hold Public Shares or (ii) hold Public Shares through Inflection Point Units and elect to separate your Inflection Point Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares;

(b)    submit a written request to Continental, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the Public Shares for which redemption is requested, that Inflection Point redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash; and

(c)     deliver your share certificates for Public Shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to Continental, physically or electronically through DTC.

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Public Shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 6, 2023 (two business days before the scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their Public Shares to be redeemed.

46

Table of Contents

Each Inflection Point Unit issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Domestication will automatically be canceled and each holder thereof will receive one share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and one-half of one New Intuitive Machines Warrant, per Inflection Point Unit. Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares held by them regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a Public Shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers the certificates for its shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to Continental, Inflection Point will redeem such Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of September 30, 2022, this would have amounted to approximately $10.06 per issued and outstanding Public Share. If a Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own Public Shares. See the section of the proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of Inflection Point — Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a Public Shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Sponsor has agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of all proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting, regardless of how the Public Shareholders vote. As of the Record Date, the Sponsor owns 20% of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares. In addition, although it is not required to do so, Kingstown 1740, an affiliate of the Sponsor, has advised us that it intends to vote all Public Shares it holds in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the Record Date, the Sponsor and Kingstown 1740 own approximately 27% of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

Holders of the Public Warrants will not have redemption rights with respect to the Public Warrants.

Appraisal Rights

Neither Inflection Point’s shareholders nor the holders of Public Warrants have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under Cayman Islands law or under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. Inflection Point has engaged Morrow Sodali to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If a shareholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the extraordinary general meeting. A shareholder also may change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of Inflection Point — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Certain Interests of Inflection Point’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the Inflection Point Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor, Inflection Point’s directors and executive officers and others have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of Inflection Point’s shareholders and holders of Public Warrants generally. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Inflection Point Persons in the Business Combination.”

Regulatory Matters

Neither Inflection Point nor Intuitive Machines are aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination, other than the regulatory notices and approvals discussed in “The Business Combination Proposal — Business Combination Agreement — Closing Conditions — Conditions to the Obligations of Each Party.” It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

Recommendation to Shareholders of Inflection Point

The Inflection Point Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting are in the best interest of Inflection Point’s shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of each of the separate Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Director Election Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Inflection Point’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Inflection Point and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, the Sponsor and Inflection Point’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Inflection Point Persons in the Business Combination.”

Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination

The following tables summarize the sources and uses for funding the Business Combination. The first table assumes that none of the Public Shareholders exercise their redemption rights. The second table assumes that Public Shareholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to 30,075,000 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares, representing the maximum amount of Public Shares that can be redeemed after giving effect to the Non-Redemption Agreement with Kingstown 1740 pursuant to which Kingstown 1740 has agreed not to redeem the 2,900,000 Business Combination Non-Redemption Covered Shares. Where actual amounts are not known or knowable, the figures below represent Intuitive Machines’ good faith estimates based on the assumptions set forth in the notes to the tables. If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, the below figures will be different.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

For a discussion summarizing the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication and an exercise of redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, please see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

Summary Risk Factors

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting, shareholders should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 58. In particular, such risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

        Inflection Point’s shareholders will experience dilution due to the issuance of shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock and securities convertible into the shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock to the Intuitive Machines Members as consideration in the Business Combination, the issuance of securities to the Series A Investors in the Series A Investment and the issuance to the Intuitive Machines Members of securities entitling them to a significant voting stake in New Intuitive Machines.

        The ability of Inflection Point’s Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares may prevent Inflection Point from completing the Business Combination or optimizing its capital structure.

        New Intuitive Machines’ ability to be successful following the Business Combination will depend upon the efforts of the New Intuitive Machines Board and New Intuitive Machines’ key personnel and the loss of such persons could negatively impact the operations and profitability of New Intuitive Machines’ business following the Business Combination.

        Nasdaq may delist Inflection Point’s or New Intuitive Machines’ securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in Inflection Point’s or New Intuitive Machines’ securities and subject Inflection Point or New Intuitive Machines to additional trading restrictions.

        If the conditions to the Business Combination Agreement are not met, the Business Combination may not occur.

        Because Inflection Point is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, in the event the Business Combination is not completed, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited.

        New Intuitive Machines will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards and, as a result, will qualify for, and intends to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. You will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

        Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter.

        Competition from existing or new companies could cause us to experience downward pressure on prices, fewer customer orders, reduced margins, the inability to take advantage of new business opportunities, and the loss of market share.

        If we fail to manage our growth effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.

49

Table of Contents

        Unsatisfactory safety performance of our spaceflight systems or security incidents at our facilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

        The market for commercial spaceflight has not been established with precision. It is still emerging and may not achieve the growth potential we expect or may grow more slowly than expected.

        We may experience a total loss of our technology and products and our customers’ payloads if there is an accident on launch or during the journey into space, and any insurance we have may not be adequate to cover our loss. Also, due to the inherent risks associated with commercial spaceflight, there is the possibility that any accident or catastrophe could lead to the loss of human life or a medical emergency.

        We rely on a limited number of suppliers for certain materials and supplied components. We may not be able to obtain sufficient materials or supplied components to meet our manufacturing and operating needs, or obtain such materials on favorable terms.

        Our business is substantially dependent on contracts entered into with customers in the ordinary course of business. As such, we are subject to counterparty risk. If a counterparty to one of our contracts were to default or otherwise fail to perform or be delayed in its performance on any of its contractual obligations to us, such default, failure to perform or delay could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Our business with various governmental entities is subject to the policies, priorities, regulations, mandates and funding levels of such governmental entities and may be negatively or positively impacted by any change thereto.

        We are subject to stringent U.S. export and import control laws and regulations and U.S. economic sanctions and trade control laws and regulations.

        We depend significantly on U.S. government contracts, which often are only partially funded, subject to immediate termination, and heavily regulated and audited. The termination or failure to fund, or negative audit findings for, one or more of these contracts could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

        Our actual operating results may differ significantly from our guidance.

        Our financial results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

        Our principal asset after the completion of the Business Combination will be our interest in Intuitive Machines OpCo, and, accordingly, we will depend on distributions from Intuitive Machines OpCo to pay our taxes and expenses, including payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and to pay dividends. Intuitive Machines OpCo’s ability to make such distributions may be subject to various limitations and restrictions.

        The Tax Receivable Agreement with the TRA Holders requires us to make cash payments to them in respect of certain tax benefits to which we may become entitled, and we expect that the payments we will be required to make will be substantial.

        Our Sponsor and management team have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our Public Shareholders vote.

        Changes in laws or regulations, including different or heightened rules or requirements promulgated by the SEC, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect Inflection Point’s business, its ability to complete the Business Combination and its results of operations.

        Since Inflection Point’s IPO Anchor Investors have an indirect beneficial interest in Founder Shares held by the Sponsor, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether Intuitive Machines is appropriate for Inflection Point’s initial business combination.

50

Table of Contents

        Inflection Point’s shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against Inflection Point to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

        The terms of the Inflection Point Warrants may be amended in a manner that may be adverse to holders with the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants.

        Your unexpired New Intuitive Machines Warrants may be redeemed prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your Warrants worthless.

        If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and a quorum is present but an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Inflection Point Board will not have the ability to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date in circumstances where such adjournment is necessary to permit the Business Combination to be approved.

Recent Developments

Citi Waiver

On November 27, 2022, Citi waived its entitlement to the payment of any deferred compensation (in an aggregate amount of $11,541,250) in connection with its role as underwriter in Inflection Point’s IPO. Citi was not provided, and will not be provided, from any source, any consideration in exchange for its waiver of its entitlement to the payment of the deferred compensation or with respect to any agreements, arrangements or understandings between Citi and any party with respect to the waiver. Citi has not been involved in the Business Combination and was not involved in the preparation of any disclosure that is included in this proxy statement/prospectus, or any analysis underlying such disclosure.

The summary historical financial information for Intuitive Machines presented below for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the summary balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 have been derived from Intuitive Machines’ audited financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The summary historical financial information presented below as of September 30, 2022 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been derived from Intuitive Machines’ unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data (the “summary pro forma data”) gives effect to the transactions described in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The Business Combination will be accounted for as a common control transaction, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Inflection Point will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Under the guidance in ASC 805 for transactions between entities under common control, the assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interests of Intuitive Machines and Inflection Point are recognized at their carrying amounts on the date of the Business Combination. Intuitive Machines has been determined to be the predecessor to the combined entity.

The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as September 30, 2022 gives pro forma effect to the transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2022. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations data for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 gives pro forma effect to the transactions as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2021.

The summary pro forma data have been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of the combined company appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical financial statements of Intuitive Machines and related notes and the historical financial statements of Inflection Point and related notes included in this proxy statement/prospectus. The summary pro forma data have been presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the transactions been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the summary pro forma data do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.

The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming two redemption scenarios after giving effect to the Transactions, as follows:

        Assuming No Redemptions — This scenario assumes that none of Inflection Point’s Class A Common Stock are redeemed.

        Assuming Maximum Redemptions — This scenario assumes that (i) 30,075,000 shares of Inflection Point’s Class A Common Stock (which represents the total number of Public Shares outstanding less 2,900,000 Public Shares held by Kingstown 1740 subject to the Non-Redemption Agreement) are redeemed for an aggregate payment of approximately $302.6 million (based on the estimated per share Redemption Price of approximately $10.06 per share) from the Trust Account and (ii) New Intuitive Machines sells to CFPI $50,000,000 of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at a price per share equal to 97.5% of the implied price of $10.00 per share in the Business Combination. Cash available for maximum redemptions is calculated as the cash in trust less remaining transaction costs to be paid in cash reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.

If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, including as to the amount of Inflection Point’s cash and net debt, then the maximum number of redemptions and the amounts and shares outstanding in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information will be different.

COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL AND UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED PER SHARE INFORMATION OF Inflection Point AND Intuitive Machines

The following table sets forth selected historical comparative share information for Intuitive Machines and Inflection Point, and unaudited pro forma condensed combined per share information of the combined company after giving effect to the Business Combination and related transactions, assuming two redemption scenarios as follows:

        Assuming No Redemptions — This scenario assumes that none of Inflection Point’s Class A Common Stock are redeemed.

        Assuming Maximum Redemptions — This scenario assumes that (i) 30,075,000 shares of Inflection Point’s Class A Common Stock are redeemed (which represents the total number of Public Shares outstanding less 2,900,000 Public Shares held by Kingstown 1740 subject to the Non-Redemption Agreement) for an aggregate payment of approximately $302.6 million (based on the estimated per share Redemption Price of approximately $10.06 per share) from the Trust Account and (ii) New Intuitive Machines sells to CFPI $50,000,000 of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at a price per share equal to 97.5% of the implied price of $10.00 per share in the Business Combination. Cash available for maximum redemptions is calculated as the cash in trust less remaining transaction costs to be paid in cash reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.

The pro forma stockholders’ equity information reflects the Business Combination and related transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2022. The weighted average shares outstanding and net loss per share information for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination and related transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2021, the beginning of the earlier period presented.

If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, including as to the amount of Inflection Point’s cash and net debt, then the maximum number of redemptions and the amounts and shares outstanding in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information will be different.

This information is only a summary and should be read together with the historical financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, and the historical financial statements of Intuitive Machines and related notes and historical financial statements of Inflection Point and related notes that are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma combined per share information of Intuitive Machines and Inflection Point are derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma combined loss per share information below does not purport to represent the loss per share which would have occurred had the companies been combined during the periods presented, nor loss per share for any future date or period. The unaudited pro forma combined book value per share information below does not purport to represent what the value of Intuitive Machines and Inflection Point would have been had the companies been combined during the periods presented.

____________

(1)      Inflection Point historical share counts include common shares subject to possible redemption.

(2)      Inflection Point has two classes of shares, Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares. Inflection Point complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Its unaudited condensed statements of operations includes a presentation of loss per share for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of loss per share. The remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net loss per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Inflection Point has not considered the effect of the Inflection Point Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 23,332,500 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since their exercise is contingent upon the future consummation of an initial business Combination which cannot be assured. As a result, diluted net loss per ordinary share is the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for the periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Inflection Point allocated net loss of $760,018 and $190,005 to the Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and the Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares, respectively, there were 32,975,000 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and 8,243,750 Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares weighted-average shares outstanding (basic and diluted) and basic and diluted net loss of $0.01 per Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share and per Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Share. For the period from January 27, 2021 through December 31, 2021, Inflection Point allocated net loss of $174,998 and $140,513 to the Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and the Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares, respectively, there were 9,322,714 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and 7,485,546 Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares weighted-average shares outstanding (basic and diluted) and basic and diluted net loss of $0.02 per Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share and per Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Share.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider all of the following risk factors, together with all of the other information in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the financial information, before deciding how to vote or instruct your vote to be cast to approve the Shareholder Proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The value of your investment following the completion of the Business Combination will be subject to significant risks affecting, among other things, New Intuitive Machines’ business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of the events described below occur, New Intuitive Machines’ post-Business Combination business and financial results could be adversely affected in material respects. This could result in a decline, which may be significant, in the trading price of New Intuitive Machines’ securities and you therefore may lose all or part of your investment. The risk factors described below are not necessarily exhaustive and you are encouraged to perform your own investigation with respect to the businesses of Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines.

Risks Related to the Domestication and the Business Combination

Inflection Point’s shareholders will experience dilution due to the issuance of shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock and securities convertible into the shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock to the Intuitive Machines Members as consideration in the Business Combination, the issuance of securities to the Series A Investors in the Series A Investment and the issuance to the Intuitive Machines Members of securities entitling them to a significant voting stake in New Intuitive Machines.

Based on Intuitive Machines’ and Inflection Point’s current capitalization (and the assumptions described under the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Frequently Used Terms — Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages”), Inflection Point anticipates the total maximum number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock expected to be outstanding immediately following the Closing is approximately 111,318,750 shares, consisting of 41,318,750 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, 1,874,291 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock and 68,125,709 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock. The New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock is comprised of: (i) 8,243,750 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock issued to the Sponsor; and (ii) 32,975,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock held by Public Shareholders holding Public Shares outstanding at the Closing (assuming no redemptions). In addition, 26,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at an initial conversion price determined by dividing the Accrued Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock by the conversion price of $12.00 per share, subject to adjustment, at the holder’s option) will be issued in connection with the Closing to the Series A Investors pursuant to the Series A Investment. The New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock is comprised of 278 shares to be issued to the Intuitive Machines Members (other than the Intuitive Machines Founders) at the Closing and 1,874,013 shares that are issuable upon exercise of outstanding Intuitive Machines options. Each share of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock will be issued with a paired Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Unit. The New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock is comprised of 68,125,709 shares to be issued to the Intuitive Machines Founders. Each share of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock will be issued with a paired Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Unit. In addition, Intuitive Machines OpCo will issue an aggregate of 10,000,000 Earn Out Units to certain Intuitive Machines Members which will be deposited into escrow at the Closing and will be earned, released and delivered upon satisfaction of the following milestones: (i) 2,500,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, during the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event I occurs, (ii) 5,000,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, during the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event I has occurred and Triggering Event II-A occurs, (iii) 7,500,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, during the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event I has not occurred Triggering Event II-B occurs, and (iv) 2,500,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, during the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event III occurs, provided, that Triggering Event II-A and Triggering Event II-B may not both be achieved. If a Change of Control (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) occurs during the Earn Out Period that results in the holders of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock receiving a per share price greater than or equal to $15.00 or $17.50, respectively, then immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, to the extent not previously triggered, Triggering Event II-A, Triggering Event II-B and/or Triggering Event III will be deemed to have occurred, as applicable, and the Earn Out Units shall vest. Upon the vesting of any Earn Out Units, each applicable Intuitive Machines Member will be issued an equal number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, in exchange for the payment to New Intuitive Machines of adequate consideration (in each case, not to exceed a per-share price equal to the par value per share of such New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock).

58

Table of Contents

Further, an aggregate of 1,874,013 options of Intuitive Machines will become Intuitive Machines OpCo Options with substantially the same terms and conditions as applicable to such option immediately prior to the Recapitalization (including expiration date, vesting conditions and exercise provisions), except that each such Intuitive Machines OpCo Option shall be exercisable for Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units. Upon the exercise of any Intuitive Machines OpCo Option, (i) Intuitive Machines OpCo will issue to the exercising holder such number of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units to be received by such exercising holder as a result of such exercise and (ii) New Intuitive Machines will issue to the exercising holder an equal number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock, in exchange for the payment to New Intuitive Machines of adequate consideration (in each case, not to exceed a per-share price equal to the par value per share of such New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock).

Intuitive Machines Members are expected to hold, in the aggregate, approximately 59.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock immediately following the Closing, assuming no options or warrants to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock are exercised and no shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock are sold under the Equity Facility, but including the New Intuitive Machines Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, approximately 51.3% of the New Intuitive Machines Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis (excluding unallocated options), approximately 81.8% of the combined voting power of New Intuitive Machines immediately following the Closing assuming no options or warrants to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock are exercised, and approximately 75.6% of the voting power of New Intuitive Machines on a fully-diluted basis (excluding unallocated options), in each case assuming no redemptions. Inflection Point’s Sponsor is expected to hold, in the aggregate, approximately 7.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock immediately following the Closing, assuming no options or warrants to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock are exercised and no shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock are sold under the Equity Facility, but including the New Intuitive Machines Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, approximately 10.6% of the New Intuitive Machines Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis (excluding unallocated options), approximately 3.3% of the combined voting power of New Intuitive Machines immediately following the Closing assuming no options or warrants to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock are exercised, and approximately 5.3% of the voting power of New Intuitive Machines on a fully-diluted basis (excluding unallocated options), in each case assuming no redemptions. Inflection Point’s current Public Shareholders are expected to hold, in the aggregate, approximately 29.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock immediately following the Closing, assuming no options or warrants to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock are exercised and no shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock are sold under the Equity Facility, but including the New Intuitive Machines Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, approximately 31.7% of the New Intuitive Machines Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis (excluding unallocated options), approximately 13.2% of the combined voting power of New Intuitive Machines immediately following the Closing assuming no options or warrants to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock are exercised, and approximately 15.8% of the voting power of New Intuitive Machines on a fully-diluted basis (excluding unallocated options), in each case assuming no redemptions. The Series A Investors are expected to hold, in the aggregate, approximately 1.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock immediately following the Closing, assuming no options or warrants to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock are exercised and no shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock are sold under the Equity Facility, but including the New Intuitive Machines Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, approximately 1.7% of the New Intuitive Machines Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis (excluding unallocated options), approximately 0.9% of the combined voting power of New Intuitive Machines immediately following the Closing assuming no options or warrants to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock are exercised, and approximately 0.9% of the voting power of New Intuitive Machines on a fully-diluted basis (excluding unallocated options), in each case assuming no redemptions. Without limiting the other assumptions described under the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Frequently Used Terms — Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages,” these ownership percentages do not take into account:

        any equity awards that may be issued under the proposed New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan following the Business Combination; or

        any adjustments to the Business Combination Consideration pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement not reflected in our assumptions described above and in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Frequently Used Terms — Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages.”

59

If any of the Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, the percentage of the outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares held by the Public Shareholders will decrease and the percentages of the outstanding New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock held immediately following the Business Combination by the Sponsor and the percentage of voting power of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock issuable to the Intuitive Machines Members upon exchange of Intuitive Machines equity will increase. To the extent that any of the outstanding Public Warrants are exercised for shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock or additional awards are issued under the proposed New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, Inflection Point’s existing shareholders may experience substantial dilution. Such dilution could, among other things, limit the ability of Inflection Point’s current shareholders to influence New Intuitive Machines’ management through the election of directors following the Closing.

The ability of Inflection Point’s Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares may prevent Inflection Point from completing the Business Combination or optimizing its capital structure.

Inflection Point will provide its Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Inflection Point to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein. The amount in the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be approximately $10.06 per Public Share based upon the amount held in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2022. The per-share amount Inflection Point will distribute to Public Shareholders who properly redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by any deferred underwriting commissions it may pay to the underwriters of the IPO. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of the Business Combination with respect to the Inflection Point Warrants. Inflection Point’s Sponsor, officers and directors entered into the Letter Agreements with Inflection Point, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and any Public Shares they hold or may acquire. Further, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement with Intuitive Machines, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to vote its shares in favor of all proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. None of our Sponsor, directors or officers received separate consideration for their waiver of redemption rights.

Kingstown 1740 has entered into two separate, but overlapping agreements waiving certain redemption rights with respect to shares of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares underlying Inflection Point Units purchased by Kingstown 1740 in the IPO.

In connection with the IPO, Kingstown 1740 entered into the IPO Redemption Waiver with Inflection Point dated September 21, 2021. The IPO Redemption Waiver provides that, only for so long as necessary in order for Inflection Point to have shareholders’ equity of at least $5,000,001, Kingstown 1740 has waived its rights to redeem the 1,386,989 IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares in connection with an IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Event ((a) the consummation of an initial business combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a shareholder vote to approve such initial business combination or (b) in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by September 24, 2023 (or such later date if Inflection Point submits and its shareholders approve an extension of such date) or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity or in the context of a tender offer made by Inflection Point to purchase Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares). However, if, at the time of an IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Event, it is not necessary for Kingstown 1740 to waive redemption rights with respect to any or all of the IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares in order for Inflection Point to have shareholders’ equity of $5,000,001, the IPO Redemption Waiver automatically and without further action by Inflection Point or Kingstown 1740, terminates and is of no further force and effect with respect to such IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares in connection with such IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Event. No consideration was provided to Kingstown 1740 in exchange for the IPO Redemption Waiver.

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines entered into the Non-Redemption Agreement with Kingstown 1740, pursuant to which Kingstown agreed not to redeem any of the 2,900,000 Business Combination Non-Redemption Covered Shares (Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares the underlying the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Units purchased by it in the IPO). The Business Combination Non-Redemption Covered Shares include the 1,386,989 IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares, as well as the other 1,513,011 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Units purchased by Kingstown 1740 in the IPO. In contrast to the IPO Redemption Waiver, which only applies to the IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Events, and only if and to the extent necessary in order for Inflection Point to have shareholders’ equity of $5,000,001, the Non-Redemption Agreement is a general waiver of Kingstown 1740’s redemption rights with respect to the Business Combination Non-Redemption Shares. The Non-Redemption Agreement prohibits Kingstown 1740 from exercising redemption rights with respect to the Business Combination Non-Redemption Covered Shares in connection with the Business Combination or otherwise unless and until the Non-Redemption Agreement Terminates. The Non-Redemption Agreement will terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the Closing of the Business Combination and (c) the mutual consent of Inflection Point, Intuitive Machines and Kingstown 1740. No consideration was provided to Kingstown 1740 in exchange for entering the Non-Redemption Agreement.

Inflection Point does not know how many Public Shareholders will ultimately exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. As such, the Business Combination is structured based on Inflection Point’s expectations (and those of the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement) as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption.

Furthermore, raising such additional financing, or increasing the equity portion of the Business Combination Consideration, in either case, if so authorized by Intuitive Machines, may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels. For information on the consequences if the Business Combination is not completed or must be restructured, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Inflection Point.”

Subsequent to the Closing, New Intuitive Machines may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition and its share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although Inflection Point has conducted due diligence on Intuitive Machines, it cannot assure you that this diligence has identified all material issues that may be present within Intuitive Machines, that it is possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of Intuitive Machines’ and outside of Inflection Point’s or New Intuitive Machines’ control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, New Intuitive Machines may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in it reporting losses. Even if due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with Inflection Point’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on New Intuitive Machines’ liquidity, the fact that New Intuitive Machines reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about New Intuitive Machines or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause New Intuitive Machines to violate net worth or other covenants to which it may be subject as a result of assuming pre-existing debt held by Intuitive Machines or by virtue of it obtaining debt financing to partially finance the Business Combination or thereafter. Accordingly, any Public Shareholders who choose to remain stockholders of New Intuitive Machines following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their securities. Such stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by our officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy solicitation relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

New Intuitive Machines’ ability to be successful following the Business Combination will depend upon the efforts of the New Intuitive Machines Board and New Intuitive Machines’ key personnel and the loss of such persons could negatively impact the operations and profitability of New Intuitive Machines’ business following the Business Combination.

New Intuitive Machines’ ability to be successful following the Business Combination will be dependent upon the efforts of the New Intuitive Machines Board and key personnel. Inflection Point cannot assure you that, following the Business Combination, the New Intuitive Machines Board and New Intuitive Machines’ key personnel will be effective or successful or remain with New Intuitive Machines. In addition to the other challenges they will face, such individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a public company, which could cause New Intuitive Machines’ management to expend time and resources becoming familiar with such requirements.

Further, uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on Intuitive Machines’ business, employees, customers, third parties with whom Intuitive Machines has relationships, and other third parties, including regulators, may have an adverse effect on New Intuitive Machines. These uncertainties may impair New Intuitive Machines’ ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel for a period of time after the Business Combination. The departure of key employees because of issues related to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with New Intuitive Machines could have a negative effect on New Intuitive Machines’ business, financial condition or results of operations.

Inflection Point may have to constrain its business activities to avoid being deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

In general, a company that is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities may be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Investment Company Act contains substantive legal requirements that regulate the manner in which “investment companies” are permitted to conduct their business activities. Inflection Point believes it has conducted, and intends to continue to conduct, its business in a manner that does not result in Inflection Point being characterized as an investment company. To avoid being deemed an investment company, Inflection Point may decide not to broaden its offerings, which could require Inflection Point to forgo attractive opportunities. If Inflection Point is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, it may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities may be restricted, which would adversely affect Inflection Point’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, Inflection Point may be forced to make changes to its management team if it is required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

Some of Inflection Point’s officers and directors may have conflicts of interest that may influence or have influenced them to support or approve the Business Combination without regard to your interests or in determining whether Intuitive Machines is an appropriate target for Inflection Point’s initial business combination.

The personal and financial interests of Inflection Point’s Sponsor, officers and directors may influence or have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting a target for Inflection Point’s initial business combination, their support for completing the Business Combination and the operation of New Intuitive Machines following the Business Combination.

Inflection Point’s Sponsor owns 8,243,750 Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares, which were initially acquired prior to the IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 and Inflection Point’s directors and officers have pecuniary interests in such shares through their ownership interests in the Sponsor. Such shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $83.2 million based on the closing sale price of $10.09 per share on Nasdaq on January 19, 2023 (assuming the Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares have the same value as Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares). In addition, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,845,000 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable for one Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share, for a purchase price of $6,845,000, or $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant.

Further, an affiliate of the Sponsor, Kingstown 1740, purchased 2,900,000 Inflection Point Units in the IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $29,000,000. The 2,900,000 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares underlying such Inflection Point Units had an aggregate market value of approximately $29.3 million based on the closing price of $10.09 per share on Nasdaq on January 19, 2023. The 1,450,000 Inflection Point Warrants underlying such Inflection Point Units had an aggregate market value of approximately $333,500 based on the closing price of $0.23 per warrant on Nasdaq on January 19, 2023.

The Cayman Constitutional Documents require Inflection Point to complete an initial business combination prior to September 24, 2023 (unless Inflection Point submits and its shareholders approve an extension of such date). If the Business Combination is not completed and Inflection Point is forced to wind up, dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the Cayman Constitutional Documents, the 8,243,750 Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares currently held by the Sponsor and the Private Placement Warrants purchased by Sponsor will be worthless.

Inflection Point’s Sponsor, its directors and officers, and their respective affiliates have incurred out-of-pocket expenses in connection with performing due diligence on suitable targets for business combinations and the negotiation of the Transaction Documents. At the Closing, the Sponsor, its directors and officers, and their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on Inflection Point’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable targets for business combinations. If a business combination is not completed prior to September 24, 2023 (or such later date if Inflection Point submits and its shareholders approve an extension of such date), Inflection Point’s Sponsor, directors and officers, and any of their respective affiliates will not be eligible for any such reimbursement.

Certain officers and members of the Inflection Point Board also participate in arrangements that may provide them with other interests in the Business Combination that are different from yours, including, among others, arrangements for their continued service as directors of New Intuitive Machines.

Further, Inflection Point’s Sponsor, officers and directors have, pursuant to the Insider Letters, each agreed (A) to vote any Inflection Point Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination and (B) not to redeem any shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination.

These interests, among others, may influence or have influenced the Sponsor and the officers and members of the Inflection Point Board to support or approve the Business Combination. For more information concerning the interests of Inflection Point’s officers and directors, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Inflection Point Persons in the Business Combination” and the risk factor entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Inflection Point — The Sponsor controls a substantial interest in Inflection Point and thus may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a shareholder vote, potentially in a manner that you do not support” of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Inflection Point has not obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent firm, and consequently, you may have no assurance from an independent source that the terms of the Business Combination are fair to Inflection Point and its shareholders from a financial point of view.

The Inflection Point Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with the determination to approve the Business Combination. The Inflection Point Board believes that based upon the financial skills and background of its directors, it was qualified to conclude that the Business Combination was fair from a financial perspective to the Inflection Point shareholders. The Inflection Point Board’s conclusion was based on, among other things, (a) the implied valuation of Intuitive Machines’ public Peer Group, which included Planet Labs PBC, Terran Orbital Corporation, Maxar Technologies, Rocket Lab USA, Inc., Virgin Galactic, and Virgin Orbit, and (b) Intuitive Machines’ growth prospects, business strategy, market-leading competitive positioning, and projections. The lack of third-party valuation or fairness opinion may also lead an increased number of shareholders to vote against the Business Combination or demand redemption of their Public Shares, which could potentially impact our ability to consummate the Business Combination. For more information about our decision-making process, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Inflection Point Board of Director’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

Citi, the lead underwriter in the Inflection Point IPO, without any consideration from Inflection Point or Intuitive Machines, waived its entitlement to deferred underwriting compensation, but would be entitled to such compensation in connection with an alternative business combination, should the Business Combination be terminated, and remains entitled to customary indemnification and contribution obligations of Inflection Point in connection with the Business Combination.

Citi was the lead underwriter in the Inflection Point IPO. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, Citi was entitled to deferred compensation in the aggregate amount of $11,541,250 as consideration for services rendered to Inflection Point in connection with the Inflection Point IPO, which was to become payable upon consummation of a business

combination transaction. On November 27, 2022, Citi waived its entitlement to the payment of the deferred compensation solely with respect to the Business Combination. Citi was not provided, and will not be provided, from any source, any consideration in exchange for its waiver of its entitlement to the payment of the deferred compensation or with respect to any agreements, arrangements or understandings between Citi and any party with respect to the waiver. Because the waiver of Citi’s payment of the deferred compensation is with respect to only the Business Combination, Citi may be entitled to a payment of the deferred compensation in connection with an alternative business combination, should the Business Combination be terminated.

In addition, with respect to the Business Combination, Inflection Point continues to have customary obligations under certain provisions of the Underwriting Agreement. These provisions include the relevant clauses of the underwriters’ standard terms and conditions, including Inflection Point’s obligation to (i) indemnify and hold harmless each of the underwriters, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls any of the underwriters or any affiliate within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other U.S. federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement for the registration of the securities sold in the IPO as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any “road show” as defined in Section 433(h) of the Act or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto (each as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (ii) reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that Inflection Point will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Inflection Point by or on behalf of any underwriter through Citi specifically for inclusion therein.

Further, the Underwriting Agreement contains a contribution provision in the event the indemnification obligations described above are unavailable or otherwise prohibited by law. The contribution obligations of the underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement are limited to the total underwriting discounts and commissions paid, in the aggregate, by Inflection Point to the underwriters upon the consummation of Inflection Point’s IPO, and the underwriters otherwise have no further contribution liability under the Underwriting Agreement because Citi waived its rights to any deferred underwriting discounts. Therefore, in contrast to other transactions where the underwriters did not waive rights to fees or deferred underwriting discounts, as the case may be, the potential financial liability of Inflection Point with respect to an indemnified loss where such indemnification is otherwise unavailable to the indemnified party may be higher under the respective agreements than it would have been had Citi not refused to serve and waived their rights to any fees or deferred underwriting discounts.

Citi declined to act for Inflection Point as an advisor in connection with the Business Combination, and Citi has had no role in the preparation of the disclosure that is included in this proxy statement/prospectus, or the underlying business analysis related to the Business Combination.

As described above, Citi was the lead underwriter in the Inflection Point IPO and was entitled to certain deferred compensation in connection with Inflection Point’s business combination. On April 5, 2022, Michael Blitzer, co-Chief Executive Officer of Inflection Point, contacted a senior investment banking representative of Citi to inform Citi of the potential transaction with Intuitive Machines and to ask Citi to act as capital markets advisor to Inflection Point in connection with the Business Combination, a role customarily performed by SPAC IPO underwriters. In response, the Citi representative informed Mr. Blitzer that Citi would not discuss or be involved with the Business Combination in any capacity. On November 11, 2022, a representative of Citi advised a representative of Inflection Point that because Citi’s decision to not be involved with the Business Combination was due to a potential business conflict, Citi would waive its entitlement to the payment of the deferred compensation solely with respect to the Business Combination. On November 27, 2022, Citi executed a formal waiver of its entitlement to the deferred compensation in connection

64

with the Business Combination. Citi was not provided, and will not be provided, from any source, any consideration in exchange for its waiver of its entitlement to the payment of the deferred compensation or with respect to any agreements, arrangements or understandings between Citi and any party with respect to the waiver.

Accordingly, Citi has not been involved in the preparation of any disclosure that is included in this proxy statement/prospectus, or any business analysis underlying such disclosure, and shareholders do not have the benefit of any such involvement. Shareholders should not place any reliance on the fact that Citi was involved with Inflection Point’s IPO.

Since our Anchor Investors have an indirect beneficial interest in Founder Shares held by our Sponsor, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular target business is appropriate for our initial business combination.

A total of 12 qualified institutional buyers (“Anchor Investors”) expressed an interest to purchase an aggregate of approximately $322.3 million of the Inflection Point Units sold in the IPO. None of the Anchor Investors expressed an interest in purchasing more than 9.9% of the Inflection Point Units sold in the IPO. The Anchor Investors were allocated and purchased a total of 29,540,000 Units or 89.6% of the Inflection Point Units sold in the IPO. Kingstown 1740 is one of the Anchor Investors and was allocated and purchased 2,900,000 Inflection Point Units sold in the IPO. In addition, subject to each Anchor Investor purchasing 100% of the Inflection Point Units allocated to it, in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor sold membership interests reflecting an allocation of Founder Shares to each Anchor Investor, representing an aggregate of 1,625,000 Founder Shares to all Anchor Investors.

The Anchor Investors, through their interests in the Sponsor, will share in any appreciation of the Founder Shares, provided that we successfully complete an initial business combination. Accordingly, our Anchor Investors’ interests in the Founder Shares held by our Sponsor may provide them with an incentive to vote any Public Shares they own in favor of an initial business combination, and make a substantial profit on such interests, even if the initial business combination is with a target that ultimately declines in value and is not profitable for other Public Shareholders.

In addition, in the event that our Anchor Investors continue to hold at least 11,250,001 of the Public Shares underlying the Inflection Point Units that they collectively purchased in the IPO at the time of the extraordinary general meeting, and vote their Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination, no affirmative votes from other Public Shareholders would be required to approve the Business Combination Proposal (assuming all Inflection Point Ordinary Shares are voted). However, because the Anchor Investors are not obligated to continue owning any Public Shares and are not obligated to vote any Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination, we cannot assure you that any of these Anchor Investors (other than Kingstown 1740) are now, or will be shareholders at the time our shareholders vote on the Business Combination, and, if they are shareholders, we cannot assure you as to how such Anchor Investors will vote on the Business Combination.

Nasdaq may delist Inflection Point’s or New Intuitive Machines’ securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in Inflection Point’s or New Intuitive Machines’ securities and subject Inflection Point or New Intuitive Machines to additional trading restrictions.

The Inflection Point Units, Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and Inflection Point Warrants are listed on Nasdaq. Inflection Point cannot assure you that its securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq in the future or prior to the Business Combination. In connection with the Business Combination and as a condition to Intuitive Machines’ obligations to complete the Business Combination, New Intuitive Machines is required to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements, which are more rigorous than Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, in order to continue to maintain the listing of New Intuitive Machines’ securities on Nasdaq. Inflection Point cannot assure you that New Intuitive Machines will be able to meet those initial listing requirements, in which case Intuitive Machines will not be obligated to complete the Business Combination. In addition to the listing requirements for the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, Nasdaq imposes listing standards on warrants. In addition, it is possible that the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants will cease to meet Nasdaq’s listing requirements following the Closing. Inflection Point cannot assure you that it will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time.

65

Table of Contents

If Nasdaq delists Inflection Point’s or New Intuitive Machines’ securities from trading on its exchange and Inflection Point or New Intuitive Machines is not able to list its securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, Inflection Point or New Intuitive Machines could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

        a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;

        reduced liquidity for its securities;

        a determination that New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in the common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for its securities;

        a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

        a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

An active, liquid trading market for New Intuitive Machines’ securities may not develop, which may limit your ability to sell such securities.

Although we intend to apply to list the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “LUNR” and “LUNRW”, respectively, an active trading market for such securities may never develop or be sustained following the consummation of the Business Combination. The initial valuation of $10.00 per share may not be indicative of the market price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock that will prevail in the open market after the consummation of the Business Combination. A public trading market having the desirable characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers at any given time, such existence being dependent upon the individual decisions of buyers and sellers over which neither we nor any market maker has control. The failure of an active and liquid trading market to develop and continue would likely have a material adverse effect on the value of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants. The market price New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock may decline below $10.00 per share, and you may not be able to sell your New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at or above $10.00 per share, or at all. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by issuing New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” may not be representative of New Intuitive Machines’ results if the Business Combination is completed.

Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines currently operate as separate companies and have had no prior history as a combined entity, and Intuitive Machines’ and Inflection Point’s operations have not previously been managed on a combined basis. The pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have actually occurred had the Business Combination been completed at or as of the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of the future operating results or financial position of New Intuitive Machines. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect future events that may occur after the Business Combination and does not consider potential impacts of future market conditions on revenues or expenses. The pro forma financial information included in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” has been derived from Inflection Point’s and Intuitive Machines’ historical financial statements and certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding New Intuitive Machines after giving effect to the Business Combination. There may be differences between preliminary estimates in the pro forma financial information and the final acquisition accounting, which could result in material differences from the pro forma information presented in this proxy statement/prospectus in respect of the estimated financial position and results of operations of New Intuitive Machines.

In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate and other factors may affect New Intuitive Machines’ financial condition or results of operations following the Closing. Any potential decline in New Intuitive Machines’ financial condition or results of operations may cause significant variations in the stock price of New Intuitive Machines.

During the pendency of the Business Combination, Inflection Point will not be able to enter into a business combination with another party because of restrictions in the Business Combination Agreement. Furthermore, certain provisions of the Business Combination Agreement will discourage third parties from submitting alternative takeover proposals, including proposals that may be superior to the arrangements contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

Covenants in the Business Combination Agreement impede the ability of Inflection Point to make acquisitions or complete other transactions that are not in the ordinary course of business pending completion of the Business Combination. As a result, Inflection Point may be at a disadvantage to its competitors during that period. In addition, while the Business Combination Agreement is in effect, neither Inflection Point nor Intuitive Machines may solicit, assist, facilitate the making, submission or announcement of, or intentionally encourage any alternative acquisition proposal, such as a merger, material sale of assets or equity interests or other business combination, with any third party, even though any such alternative acquisition could be more favorable to Inflection Point’s shareholders than the Business Combination. In addition, if the Business Combination is not completed, these provisions will make it more difficult to complete an alternative business combination following the termination of the Business Combination Agreement due to the passage of time during which these provisions have remained in effect.

The exercise of Inflection Point’s directors’ and executive officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in Inflection Point’s shareholders’ best interests.

In the period leading up to the Closing, events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require Inflection Point to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Intuitive Machines or to waive rights that Inflection Point is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Intuitive Machines’ businesses or a request by Intuitive Machines to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at Inflection Point’s discretion, acting through the Inflection Point Board, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors described in the preceding risk factors (and described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is best for Inflection Point and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Inflection Point does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that Inflection Point’s directors and executive officers would be likely to make after shareholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further shareholder approval, Inflection Point will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit Inflection Point’s shareholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its shareholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.

Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines have both incurred and expect to continue to incur significant, nonrecurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination and operating as a public company following the consummation of the Business Combination. Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. Certain transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination, including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be paid by Inflection Point following the Closing.

If the conditions to the Business Combination Agreement are not met, the Business Combination may not occur.

Even if the Business Combination Agreement is approved by the shareholders of Inflection Point and equity holders of Intuitive Machines, specified conditions must be satisfied or waived before the parties to the Business Combination Agreement are obligated to complete the Business Combination. Inflection Point does not control the satisfaction of all of such conditions. For a list of the material closing conditions contained in the Business Combination Agreement, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Business Combination Agreement — Closing Conditions.” Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines may not satisfy all of the closing conditions

in the Business Combination Agreement. If the closing conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination will not occur, or will be delayed pending later satisfaction or waiver, and such delay may cause Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines to each lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Business Combination.

Inflection Point will not have any right to make damage claims against Intuitive Machines for the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Intuitive Machines in the Business Combination Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement provides that all of the representations, warranties and covenants of the parties contained therein shall not survive the Closing of the Business Combination, except for those covenants that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing, and then only with respect to breaches occurring after Closing. Accordingly, there are no remedies available to the parties with respect to any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement after the Closing of the Business Combination, except for covenants to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing. As a result, Inflection Point will have no remedy available to it if the Business Combination is consummated and it is later revealed that there was a breach of any of the representations, warranties and covenants made by Intuitive Machines at the time of the Business Combination.

Because Inflection Point is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, in the event the Business Combination is not completed, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited.

Because Inflection Point is currently incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited prior to the Domestication. Inflection Point is currently an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon Inflection Point’s directors or officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against Inflection Point’s directors or officers.

Until the Domestication is effected, Inflection Point’s corporate affairs are governed by the Cayman Constitutional Documents, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors to Inflection Point under the laws of the Cayman Islands are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of Inflection Point’s shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

Inflection Point has been advised by Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP, its Cayman Islands legal counsel, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (a) to recognize or enforce against Inflection Point judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state; and (b) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against Inflection Point predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

The Public Shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the Inflection Point Board or controlling shareholders than they would as Public Shareholders of a U.S. company.

The proposed Business Combination with Intuitive Machines may be delayed or ultimately prohibited since such Business Combination may be subject to regulatory review and approval requirements, including pursuant to foreign investment regulations and review by governmental entities such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”.)

The Business Combination may be subject to regulatory review and approval requirements by governmental entities, or ultimately prohibited. CFIUS has authority to review direct or indirect investments whereby a foreign person acquires “control” over or, for more sensitive businesses involving critical technology, critical infrastructure, and sensitive personal data, certain types of non-controlling rights in, U.S. businesses. Some transactions within the jurisdiction of CFIUS trigger a mandatory CFIUS filing requirement. Otherwise, notifying CFIUS of a transaction within its jurisdiction is voluntary. CFIUS can reach out to parties to transactions within its jurisdiction that did not notify CFIUS and request that the parties submit a CFIUS notice and can self-initiate national security reviews. If CFIUS identifies national security concerns in connection with its review of an investment, CFIUS has the power to impose measures to mitigate such concerns and, in extreme cases, require the foreign person to divest of the investment. Whether CFIUS has jurisdiction to review an acquisition or investment transaction depends on, among other factors, whether the investor/acquiror of the U.S. business is a “foreign person” or ‘‘foreign entity,” the nature and structure of the transaction, the level of beneficial ownership interest being acquired, and the nature of any information or governance rights acquired by the foreign investor.

Inflection Point is currently incorporated in the Cayman Islands and one of its directors, Nicholas Shekerdemian, is a citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. However, prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, Inflection Point will change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware and in connection with Closing, Mr. Shekerdemian will resign from the Inflection Point Board. In addition, the Sponsor, which owns 20% of the outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, is a Cayman Islands limited liability company. However, the Sponsor is exclusively controlled by U.S. nationals and U.S. nationals own a majority of the membership interests of the Sponsor. Accordingly, we do not believe the Sponsor is a “foreign entity” or “foreign person” under the CFIUS regulations. Intuitive Machines is not, is not controlled by and does not have substantial ties with, a non-U.S. person.

The process of government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because we have only a limited time to complete our initial business combination, our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate. If we are unable to consummate the Business Combination within the applicable time period required, including as a result of extended regulatory review, we will, (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (b) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest will be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the Inflection Point Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, our shareholders will miss the opportunity to benefit from the Business Combination or another initial business combination and the potential appreciation in value of such investment. Additionally, the Inflection Point Warrants will become worthless.

The Domestication may result in adverse tax consequences for holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and Inflection Point Warrants.

The Domestication should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, i.e., an F Reorganization, and White & Case LLP delivered an opinion that, based on customary assumptions, representations and covenants, the Domestication will qualify as an F Reorganization. Such opinion is filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part. The obligations of Inflection Point to undertake the Domestication and the Business Combination are not conditioned on the receipt of an opinion regarding the Domestication’s qualification as an F Reorganization. If any of the assumptions, representations or covenants on which the opinion is based is or becomes incorrect, incomplete, inaccurate or is otherwise not complied with, the validity of the opinion described above may be adversely affected and the tax consequences of the Domestication could differ from those described herein. An opinion of counsel represents counsel’s legal judgment and is not binding on the IRS or any court. Inflection Point has not requested, and does not intend to request, a ruling from the IRS as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS

69

Table of Contents

will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below. Accordingly, each Holder of Inflection Point Securities is urged to consult its tax advisor with respect to the particular tax consequence of the Domestication to such Holder. If the Domestication fails to qualify as an F Reorganization, a U.S. Holder (as defined in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — II. U.S. Holders”) of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares or Inflection Point Warrants generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares or Inflection Point Warrants in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the corresponding common stock or warrants of New Intuitive Machines received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares or Inflection Point Warrants surrendered. Additionally, Non-U.S. Holders (as defined in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — III. Non-U.S. Holders”) may become subject to withholding tax on any amounts treated as dividends paid on New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock after the Domestication.

Assuming that the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, U.S. Holders generally will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code in connection with the Domestication, and, as a result:

        a U.S. Holder who is a 10% U.S. Shareholder on the date of the Domestication generally will be required to include in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by Inflection Point the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to the Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares held directly by such U.S. Holder;

        a U.S. Holder whose Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of the Domestication and who, on the date of the Domestication, is not a 10% U.S. Shareholder generally will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares as if such U.S. Holder exchanged its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares for New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock in a taxable transaction, unless such U.S. Holder elects in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations to include in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by Inflection Point the “all earnings and profits” amount (as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to such U.S. Holder’s Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares; and

        a U.S. Holder whose Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication and who, on the date of the Domestication, is not a 10% U.S. Shareholder, generally will not recognize any gain or loss or include any part of Inflection Point’s earnings and profits in income under Section 367 of the Code in connection with the Domestication.

Additionally, even if the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 1291(f) of the Code and certain other PFIC rules (which have retroactive effective dates) generally require that a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC (including for this purpose, under a proposed Treasury Regulation that generally treats an “option” to acquire the stock of a PFIC as stock of the PFIC, exchanging Inflection Point Warrants for newly issued New Intuitive Machines Warrants in the Domestication) must recognize gain equal to the excess of the fair market value of such PFIC stock over its adjusted tax basis, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. Inflection Point believes that it is likely classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, these proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would generally require a U.S. Holder of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares to recognize gain under the PFIC rules on the exchange of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares for New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Domestication unless such U.S. Holder has made certain tax elections with respect to such U.S. Holder’s Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares. In addition, the proposed Treasury Regulations provide coordinating rules with other sections of the Code, including Section 367(b), which affect the manner in which the rules under such other sections apply to transfers of PFIC stock. These proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would also apply to a U.S. Holder who exchanges Inflection Point Warrants for newly issued New Intuitive Machines Warrants; under current law, however, the elections mentioned above do not apply to Inflection Point Warrants. Any gain recognized from the application of the PFIC rules described above would be taxable income with no corresponding receipt of cash. The tax on any such gain would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on complex rules designed to offset the tax deferral to such U.S. Holder on the undistributed earnings, if any, of Inflection Point. It is not possible to determine at this time whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted or how any such Treasury Regulations would apply. For a more complete discussion of the potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. Holders as a result of the Domestication, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — II. U.S. Holders — A. Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders — 5. PFIC Considerations”.

Although the redemptions of holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will occur prior to the Domestication, it is possible that the IRS could assert that for U.S. federal income tax purposes such redemptions should be treated as occurring after the Domestication. If such redemptions are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as occurring after the Domestication, holders exercising redemption rights would be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication, and for U.S. Holders, the determination of whether a U.S. Holder is a 10% U.S. Shareholder or is otherwise subject to Section 367 of the Code would be determined as if the redemptions had not yet occurred at the time of the Domestication. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possibility that the redemptions are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as occurring after the Domestication despite the redemptions occurring in form prior to the Domestication.

Upon the Closing, the rights of holders of the New Intuitive Machines Common Stock arising under the DGCL will differ from and may be less favorable to the rights of holders of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares arising under the Companies Act.

Upon the Closing, the rights of holders of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock will arise under the DGCL. The DGCL contains provisions that differ in some respects from those in the Companies Act, and, therefore, some rights of holders of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock could differ from the rights that holders of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares currently possess. For instance, while class actions are generally not available to shareholders under Cayman Islands law, such actions are generally available under Delaware law. This change could increase the likelihood that New Intuitive Machines becomes involved in costly litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on New Intuitive Machines.

For a more detailed description of the rights of holders of the New Intuitive Machines Common Stock under the DGCL and how they may differ from the rights of holders of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares under the Companies Act, please see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Domestication Proposal — Comparison of Shareholder Rights under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After Domestication.”

Delaware law and the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed By-Laws will contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions, that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed By-Laws that will be in effect at the Closing differ from the Cayman Constitutional Documents. Among other differences, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, and the DGCL, contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by the New Intuitive Machines Board and therefore depress the trading price of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the then-current members of the New Intuitive Machines Board or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in management. Among other things, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed By-Laws include provisions regarding:

        the ability of the New Intuitive Machines Board to issue shares of preferred stock, including “blank check” preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;

        the limitation of the liability of, and the indemnification of, New Intuitive Machines’ directors and officers;

        the right of the New Intuitive Machines Board to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the New Intuitive Machines Board or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on the New Intuitive Machines Board;

        the requirement that directors may only be removed from the New Intuitive Machines Board for cause and upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662/3% of the total voting power of then outstanding capital stock of New Intuitive Machines;

        a prohibition from and after the time New Intuitive Machines ceases to be a controlled company under applicable Nasdaq rules, on stockholder action by written consent (except for actions by the holders of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock, New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock or as

71

Table of Contents

required for holders of any series of New Intuitive Machines Preferred Stock), which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and could delay the ability of stockholders to force consideration of a stockholder proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;

        the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the New Intuitive Machines Board, the chairman of the New Intuitive Machines Board or New Intuitive Machines’ chief executive officer or (ii) for so long as New Intuitive Machines is a controlled company under applicable Nasdaq rules, by the secretary of New Intuitive Machines at the request of any holder of record of at least 25% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of New Intuitive Machines, which could delay the ability of stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;

        controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of the New Intuitive Machines Board and stockholder meetings;

        the requirement for the affirmative vote of holders of at least 662/3% of the total voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the voting stock, voting together as a single class, to amend, alter, change or repeal certain provisions in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation which could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders and delay changes in the New Intuitive Machines Board and also may inhibit the ability of an acquirer to effect such amendments to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt;

        the ability of the New Intuitive Machines Board to amend the Proposed By-Laws, which may allow the New Intuitive Machines Board to take additional actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend the Proposed By-Laws to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt; and

        advance notice procedures with which stockholders of the New Intuitive Machines must comply to nominate candidates to the New Intuitive Machines Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders and delay changes in the New Intuitive Machines Board and also may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of New Intuitive Machines.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in the New Intuitive Machines Board or management.

In addition, as a Delaware corporation, New Intuitive Machines will generally be subject to provisions of Delaware law, including the DGCL. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Description of New Intuitive Machines’ Securities — Anti-Takeover Effects of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the Proposed By-Laws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law.”

Any provision of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, Proposed By-Laws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control could limit the opportunity for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of New Intuitive Machines’ Common Stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for New Intuitive Machines Common Stock.

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed By-Laws are attached as Annex C and Annex D, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus and we urge you to read them.

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will designate a state or federal court located within the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings between New Intuitive Machines and its stockholders, and the federal district courts as the exclusive forum for Securities Act claims, which could limit New Intuitive Machines’ stockholders’ ability to choose the judicial forum for disputes with New Intuitive Machines or its directors, officers, or employees.

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will provide that, unless New Intuitive Machines consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, any other court located in the State of Delaware with subject matter jurisdiction, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of New Intuitive Machines,

72

Table of Contents

(b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, other employee or stockholder of New Intuitive Machines to it or its stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against New Intuitive Machines or its officers or directors arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or Proposed By-Laws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, (d) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or the Proposed By-Laws or any provision thereof, (e) any action asserting a claim against New Intuitive Machines or any current or former director, officer, employee, stockholder or agent of New Intuitive Machines governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the law of the State of Delaware or (f) any action asserting an “internal corporate claim” as defined in Section 115 of the DGCL. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will also provide that, unless New Intuitive Machines consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for the resolutions of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. This provision in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will not address or apply to claims that arise under the Exchange Act; however, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. To the extent these provisions could be construed to apply to such claims, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provisions in connection with such claims, and stockholders cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of the securities of New Intuitive Machines will be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation described in the preceding paragraph. These exclusive-forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum of its choosing for disputes with New Intuitive Machines or its directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against New Intuitive Machines and its directors, officers, and other employees. The enforceability of similar exclusive-forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with one or more actions or proceedings described above, a court could rule that this provision in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation is inapplicable or unenforceable. If a court were to find these exclusive-forum provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, New Intuitive Machines may incur additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, which could harm its results of operations.

New Intuitive Machines will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards and, as a result, will qualify for, and intends to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. You will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

The New Intuitive Machines Founders will own more than 50% of the combined voting power for the election of directors to the New Intuitive Machines Board, and, as a result, New Intuitive Machines will be considered a “controlled company” for the purposes of the Nasdaq rules. As such, New Intuitive Machines will qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements, including that a majority of the New Intuitive Machines Board consist of “independent directors,” as defined under the Nasdaq rules. In addition, New Intuitive Machines will not be required to have a nominating and corporate governance committee or compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities or to conduct annual performance evaluations of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees.

As permitted for a “controlled company,” a majority of the New Intuitive Machines Board and New Intuitive Machines’ Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees will not be independent. Accordingly, New Intuitive Machines stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq rules.

If at any time New Intuitive Machines ceases to be a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq rules, the New Intuitive Machines Board intends to take any action that may be necessary to comply with the Nasdaq rules, subject to a permitted “phase-in” period. These and any other actions necessary to achieve compliance with such rules may increase New Intuitive Machines’ legal and administrative costs, will make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly and may also place additional strain on New Intuitive Machines’ personnel, systems and resources.

Following the completion of the Business Combination, New Intuitive Machines’ principal stockholders and management will exert significant influence over New Intuitive Machines and their interests may conflict with yours in the future.

Each share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock initially entitles its holders to one vote on all matters presented to stockholders generally, each share of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock initially entitles its holders to one vote on all matters presented to stockholders generally and each share of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock initially entitles its holders to three votes on all matters presented to stockholders generally. Accordingly, the Intuitive Machines Founders, by virtue of their New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, will hold approximately 82.5% of the combined voting power of New Intuitive Machines immediately following the Closing assuming no options or warrants to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines are exercised and approximately 75.9% of the total voting power of New Intuitive Machines on a fully-diluted basis (excluding unallocated options), in each case, assuming no redemptions. Accordingly, those owners, if voting in the same manner, will be able to control the election and removal of the directors of New Intuitive Machines and thereby determine corporate and management policies, including potential mergers or acquisitions, payment of dividends, asset sales, amendment of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed By-Laws and other significant corporate transactions of New Intuitive Machines for so long as they retain significant ownership of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock. This concentration of ownership may delay or deter possible changes in control of New Intuitive Machines, which may reduce the value of an investment in New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and the New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock.

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will not limit the ability of the Sponsor, investment funds affiliated with or advised by Kingstown Capital Management L.P. (the “Kingstown Funds”) or our non-employee directors to compete with us.

The Sponsor, the Kingstown Funds and our non-employee directors and their respective affiliates engage in a broad spectrum of activities, including investments in the aerospace industries. In the ordinary course of their business activities, the Sponsor, the Kingstown Funds and our non-employee directors and their respective affiliates may engage in activities where their interests conflict with New Intuitive Machines’ interests or those of its stockholders. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, none of the Sponsor, the Kingstown Funds, our non-employee directors or any their respective affiliates (including any non-employee director who serves an officer of New Intuitive Machines in both his or her director and officer capacities) will have any duty to refrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the same business activities or similar business activities or lines of business in which New Intuitive Machines operates or otherwise competing with New Intuitive Machines or any of its affiliates. Further, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no such persons will be liable to New Intuitive Machines for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such person engages in any such activity. The Sponsor, the Kingstown Funds, and their directors and officers may pursue, in their capacities other than as directors of the New Intuitive Machines Board, acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to New Intuitive Machines’ business, and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to New Intuitive Machines. In addition, the Sponsor, the Kingstown Funds, and their directors and officers may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions that, in its judgment, could enhance its investment, even though such transactions might involve risks to you.

Inflection Point’s officers and directors and/or their affiliates may enter into agreements concerning Inflection Point’s securities prior to the extraordinary general meeting, which may have the effect of increasing the likelihood of completion of the Business Combination or decreasing the value of the Inflection Point securities.

At any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material non-public information regarding Inflection Point or its securities, Inflection Point’s officers and directors and/or their affiliates may enter into a written plan to purchase Inflection Point’s securities pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, and may engage in other public market purchases, as well as private purchases, of securities. In addition, at any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material non-public information regarding Inflection Point or its securities, Inflection Point’s officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates may (a) purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination Proposal or the other Shareholder Proposals, (b) execute agreements to purchase such shares from institutional and other investors in the future, and/or (c) enter into transactions with institutional and other investors to provide such persons with incentives to acquire Public Shares or vote their Public Shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal or the other Shareholder Proposals. Such an agreement may include a contractual

74

Table of Contents

acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of such shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that Inflection Point’s officers and directors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling Public Shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their Public Shares. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their Public Shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer of shares or Private Placement Warrants owned by the Sponsor for nominal value to such investors or holders.

The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions by Inflection Point’s officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that (a) the holders of the requisite number of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares present and voting at the extraordinary general meeting vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Shareholder Proposals and/or (b) that Inflection Point will (without regard to any assets or liabilities of Intuitive Machines) have at least $5,000,001 in net tangible assets immediately prior to the Closing after taking into account holders of Public Shares that properly demanded redemption of their Public Shares into cash, when, in each case, it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares it owns, either prior to or immediately after the extraordinary general meeting.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, except as noted elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, including with respect to the IPO Redemption Waiver and the Non-Redemption Agreement (see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements”), Inflection Point’s directors and officers and their affiliates have not entered into any such agreements. Inflection Point will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Business Combination Proposal or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Investors may not have the same benefits as an investor in an underwritten public offering.

New Intuitive Machines will be a publicly listed company upon the completion of the Business Combination. The Business Combination is not an underwritten initial public offering of New Intuitive Machines’ securities and differs from an underwritten initial public offering in several significant ways, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

Like other business combinations and spin-offs, in connection with the Business Combination, investors will not receive the benefits of the diligence performed by the underwriters in an underwritten public offering. Investors in an underwritten public offering may benefit from the role of the underwriters in such an offering. In an underwritten public offering, an issuer initially sells its securities to the public market via one or more underwriters, who distribute or resell such securities to the public. Underwriters have liability under the U.S. securities laws for material misstatements or omissions in a registration statement pursuant to which an issuer sells securities. Because the underwriters have a “due diligence” defense to any such liability by, among other things, conducting a reasonable investigation, the underwriters and their counsel conduct a due diligence investigation of the issuer. Due diligence entails engaging legal, financial and/or other experts to perform an investigation as to the accuracy of an issuer’s disclosure regarding, among other things, its business and financial results. In making their investment decision, investors have the benefit of such diligence in underwritten public offerings. Investors in Inflection Point and New Intuitive Machines must rely on the information in this proxy statement/prospectus and will not have the benefit of an independent review and investigation of the type normally performed by an independent underwriter in a public securities offering. While sponsors, private investors and management in a business combination undertake a certain level of due diligence, it is not necessarily the same level of due diligence undertaken by an underwriter in a public securities offering and, therefore, there could be a heightened risk of an incorrect valuation of Intuitive Machines’ business or material misstatements or omissions in this proxy statement/prospectus.

In addition, because there are no underwriters engaged in connection with the Business Combination, prior to the opening of trading on the trading day immediately following the closing, there will be no traditional “roadshow” or book building process, and no price at which underwriters initially sold shares to the public to help inform efficient and sufficient price discovery with respect to the initial post-closing trades. Therefore, buy and sell orders submitted prior to and at the

75

Table of Contents

opening of initial post-closing trading of New Intuitive Machines’ securities will not have the benefit of being informed by a published price range or a price at which the underwriters initially sold shares to the public, as would be the case in an underwritten initial public offering. There will be no underwriters assuming risk in connection with an initial resale of New Intuitive Machines securities or helping to stabilize, maintain or affect the public price of New Intuitive Machines securities following the Closing. Moreover, New Intuitive Machines will not engage in, and has not and will not, directly or indirectly, request financial advisors to engage in, any special selling efforts or stabilization or price support activities in connection with the New Intuitive Machines securities that will be outstanding immediately following the closing. In addition, since New Intuitive Machines will become public through a merger, securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of Intuitive Machines since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of its shares of common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will, in the future, want to conduct any offerings on New Intuitive Machines’ behalf. All of these differences from an underwritten public offering of New Intuitive Machines’ securities could result in a more volatile price for New Intuitive Machines’ securities.

In addition, the Sponsor, certain members of the Inflection Point Board and its officers, as well as their respective affiliates and permitted transferees, have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or are in addition to those of holders of New Intuitive Machines’ securities following completion of the Business Combination, and that would not be present in an underwritten public offering of New Intuitive Machines’ securities. Such interests may have influenced the Inflection Point Board in making their recommendation that Inflection Point shareholders vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. See also “Risk Factors — Some of Inflection Point’s officers and directors may have conflicts of interest that may influence or have influenced them to support or approve the Business Combination without regard to your interests or in determining whether Intuitive Machines is appropriate for Inflection Point’s initial business combination.

Such differences from an underwritten public offering may present material risks to unaffiliated investors that would not exist if New Intuitive Machines became a publicly listed company through an underwritten initial public offering instead of upon completion of the Business Combination.

New Intuitive Machines’ business and operations could be negatively affected if it becomes subject to any securities litigation or stockholder activism, which could cause New Intuitive Machines to incur significant expense, hinder execution of business and growth strategy and impact its stock price.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. Shareholder activism, which could take many forms or arise in a variety of situations, has been increasing recently. Volatility in the stock price of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock or other reasons may in the future cause it to become the target of securities litigation or stockholder activism. Securities litigation and stockholder activism, including potential proxy contests, could result in substantial costs and divert management’s and the New Intuitive Machines Board’s attention and resources from New Intuitive Machines’ business. Additionally, such securities litigation and stockholder activism could give rise to perceived uncertainties as to New Intuitive Machines’ future, adversely affect its relationships with service providers and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel. Also, New Intuitive Machines may be required to incur significant legal fees and other expenses related to any securities litigation and activist stockholder matters.

Further, its stock price could be subject to significant fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected by the events, risks and uncertainties of any securities litigation and stockholder activism.

Risks Related to Intuitive Machines’ Business

Following the Closing, New Intuitive Machines will be a holding company with no direct operations that relies on dividends, distributions, loans and other payments, advances and transfers of funds from Intuitive Machines OpCo to pay dividends, pay expenses and meet its other obligations. Accordingly, New Intuitive Machines’ stockholders and warrant holders will be subject to all of the risks of Intuitive Machines’ business following the Closing.

Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted, “Intuitive Machines” refers to Intuitive Machines, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Risks Relating to Intuitive Machines’ Business and Industry

Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter.

We have a limited operating history in a rapidly evolving industry that may not develop in a manner favorable to our business. While our business has grown rapidly, and much of that growth has occurred in recent periods, the markets for launch services, space systems, spacecraft components and space data applications may not continue to develop in a manner that we expect or that otherwise would be favorable to our business. As a result of our limited operating history and ongoing changes in our new and evolving industry, including evolving demand for our products and services, our ability to forecast our future results of operations and plan for and model future growth is limited and subject to a number of uncertainties. We have encountered and expect to continue to encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly evolving industries, such as the risks and uncertainties described herein. Accordingly, we may be unable to prepare accurate internal financial forecasts or replace anticipated revenue that we do not receive as a result of delays arising from these factors, and our results of operations in future reporting periods may be below the expectations of investors or analysts. If we do not address these risks successfully, our results of operations could differ materially from our estimates and forecasts or the expectations of investors or analysts, causing our business to suffer and our common stock price to decline.

If we fail to manage our growth effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan and our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.

In order to achieve the substantial future revenue growth we have projected, we must develop and market new products and services. We intend to expand our operations significantly. To properly manage our growth, we will need to hire and retain additional personnel, upgrade our existing operational management and financial and reporting systems, and improve our business processes and controls. Our future expansion will include:

        hiring and training new personnel;

        developing new technologies;

        controlling expenses and investments in anticipation of expanded operations;

        upgrading the existing operational management and financial reporting systems and team to comply with requirements as a public company; and

        implementing and enhancing administrative infrastructure, systems and processes.

If our operations continue to grow as planned, of which there can be no assurance, we will need to expand our sales and marketing, research and development, customer and commercial strategy, products and services, supply, and manufacturing functions. These efforts will require us to invest significant financial and other resources, including in industries and sales channels in which we have limited experience to date. We will also need to continue to leverage our manufacturing and operational systems and processes, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to scale the business as currently planned or within the planned timeframe. The continued expansion of our business may also require additional manufacturing and operational facilities, as well as space for administrative support, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to find suitable locations for the manufacture of our space vehicles and related equipment.

Our continued growth could increase the strain on our resources, and we could experience operating difficulties, including difficulties in hiring and training employees, finding manufacturing capacity to produce our space vehicles and related equipment, and delays in production. These difficulties may divert the attention of management and key employees and impact financial and operational results. If we are unable to drive commensurate growth, these costs, which include lease commitments, headcount and capital assets, could result in decreased margins, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Competition from existing or new companies could cause us to experience downward pressure on prices, fewer customer orders, reduced margins, the inability to take advantage of new business opportunities, and the loss of market share.

We operate in highly competitive markets and generally encounter intense competition to win contracts from many other firms, including lower and mid-tier federal contractors with specialized capabilities and the federal government. Additionally, our markets are facing increasing industry consolidation, resulting in larger competitors who have more market share putting more downward pressure on prices and offering a more robust portfolio of products and services. We are subject to competition based upon product design, performance, pricing, quality, and services. Our product performance, engineering expertise, and product quality have been important factors in our growth. While we try to maintain competitive pricing on those products that are directly comparable to products manufactured by others, in many instances our products will conform to more exacting specifications and carry a higher price than analogous products. Many of our customers and potential customers have the capacity to design and internally manufacture products that are similar to our products. We face competition from research and product development groups and the manufacturing operations of current and potential customers, who continually evaluate the benefits of internal research, product development, and manufacturing versus outsourcing.

In addition, some of our foreign competitors currently benefit from, and others may benefit in the future from, protective measures by their home countries where governments are providing financial support, including significant investments in the development of new technologies. Government support of this nature greatly reduces the commercial risks associated with aerospace technology development activities for these competitors. This market environment may result in increased pressures on our pricing and other competitive factors.

We believe our ability to compete successfully in designing, engineering and manufacturing our products and services at significantly reduced cost to customers does and will depend on a number of factors, which may change in the future due to increased competition, our ability to meet our customers’ needs and the frequency and availability of our offerings. If we are unable to compete successfully, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

A pandemic outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, has disrupted and may continue to adversely affect our business operations and our financial results.

The global spread of COVID-19 has disrupted certain aspects of our operations and may adversely impact our business operations and financial results, including our ability to execute on our business strategy and goals. Specifically, the continued spread of COVID-19 and related precautionary measures have resulted in delays or disruptions in our supply chain; delays in the launch or execution of certain of our customers’ projects; and a decrease of our operational efficiency in the development of our systems, products, technologies and services. We continue to take measures within our facilities to ensure the health and safety of our employees, which include the creation of a task force to implement COVID-19 protocols in compliance with federal, state and local recommendations, encouraging masking and vaccination, rearranging facilities and work schedules to follow social distancing protocols and undertaking regular and thorough disinfecting of surfaces and tools. However, there can be no assurance that these measures will prevent disruptions due to COVID-19 within our workforce. These measures have also resulted in the reduction of operational efficiency within our impacted workforce, and we expect they will continue to do so.

The pandemic has also resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption and volatility of global financial markets. This disruption and volatility may adversely impact our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity and capital resources. Given the rapid and evolving nature of the impact of the virus, responsive measures taken by governmental authorities and the continued uncertainty about its impact on society and the global economy, we cannot predict the extent to which it will affect our operations, particularly if these impacts persist or worsen over an extended period of time. To the extent COVID-19 adversely affects our business operations and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section.

Unsatisfactory safety performance of our spaceflight systems or security incidents at our facilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

We manufacture and operate highly sophisticated spaceflight systems that depend on complex technology. We also work cooperatively with our suppliers, subcontractors, venture partners and other parties (“Third Parties”). Failures and disruptions or compromises to our or our Third Parties’ systems may be caused by natural disasters, accidents, power

78

Table of Contents

disruptions, telecommunications failures, acts of terrorism or war, computer viruses, bugs or vulnerabilities, physical or electronic break-ins, human error, intentional conduct, targeted cyberattacks, or similar events or incidents. While we have built operational processes to ensure that the design, manufacture, performance and servicing of our spaceflight systems meet rigorous performance goals, there can be no assurance that we will not experience operational or process failures and other problems, including through manufacturing or design defects, pilot error, failure of Third Party safeguards, natural disasters, cyber-attacks, or other intentional acts, that could result in potential safety risks. There can be no assurance that our preparations, or those of Third Parties, will be able to prevent any such incidents.

Any actual or perceived safety issues may result in significant reputational harm to our businesses, in addition to tort liability, maintenance, increased safety infrastructure and other costs that may arise. Such issues with our spaceflight systems, facilities, or customer safety could result in delaying or cancelling planned flights, increased regulation or other systemic consequences. Our inability to meet our safety standards or adverse publicity affecting our reputation as a result of accidents, mechanical failures, damages to customer property or medical complications could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

If any of our systems, the systems of any critical Third Parties upon which we rely or our customers’ systems are, or appear to be, breached or if unauthorized processing of customer or Third-Party data is otherwise performed, public perception of our products services may be harmed, and we may lose business and incur losses or liabilities.

Threat actors (such as ransomware groups) are becoming increasingly sophisticated and using tools and techniques that are designed to circumvent security controls, to evade detection and to remove or obfuscate forensic evidence. Our and our Third Parties’ technology systems and networks may be damaged, disrupted, or compromised by malicious events, such as cyberattacks (including computer viruses, ransomware, and other malicious and destructive code, phishing attacks, and denial of service attacks), physical or electronic security breaches, natural disasters, fire, power loss, telecommunications failures, personnel misconduct, and human error. Such attacks or security breaches may be perpetrated by internal bad actors, such as employees or contractors, or by third parties. Furthermore, because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until after they are launched against a target, we and our Third Parties may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures. While we have implemented what we believe is an appropriate information security program with cybersecurity procedures, practices, and controls, the control systems, cybersecurity program, infrastructure, physical facilities of, and personnel associated with Third Parties that we rely on are beyond our control and we cannot guarantee that our or our Third Parties’ systems and networks have not been breached or that they do not contain exploitable defects or bugs that could result in a breach of or disruption to our systems and networks or the systems and networks of Third Parties that support us and our products and services. In addition, our defensive measures, including back-up systems and disaster recovery plans, or those of our critical Third Parties, may fail to timely or effectively anticipate, detect, prevent or allow us to recover from cyberattacks.

Our costs to adequately counter the risk of cyber-attacks and to comply with contractual and/or regulatory compliance requirements may increase significantly in the future. If there is a security vulnerability, error, or other bug in one of ours or our critical Third-Party systems or if there is a security exploit targeting them, we could face increased costs, claims, liability, reduced revenue, and harm to our reputation or competitive position. Because we do not maintain cybersecurity insurance, these costs will come directly from us and this could harm our financial condition.

The market for commercial spaceflight has not been established with precision. It is still emerging and may not achieve the growth potential we expect or may grow more slowly than expected.

The market for commercial spaceflight has not been established with precision and is still emerging. Our estimates for the total addressable market for commercial spaceflight are based on a number of internal and third-party estimates, including our current backlog, the number of consumers, assumed flight cadence, our ability to leverage our current manufacturing and operational processes and general market conditions. While we believe our assumptions and the data underlying our estimates are reasonable, these assumptions and estimates may not be correct. The conditions supporting our assumptions or estimates may change at any time, thereby reducing the predictive accuracy of these underlying factors. As a result, our estimates of the annual total addressable market for commercial spaceflight, as well as the expected growth rate for the total addressable market for that experience, may prove to be incorrect.

We may experience delayed launches, launch failures, failure of our satellites or lunar landers to reach their planned orbital locations, significant increases in the costs related to launches of satellites and lunar landers, and insufficient capacity available from satellite and lunar lander launch providers. Any such issue could result in the loss of our satellites and lunar landers or cause significant delays in their deployment, which could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Delays in launching satellites or landers are common and can result from manufacturing delays, unavailability of reliable launch opportunities with suppliers, launch supplier schedule delays, delays in obtaining required regulatory approvals, changes in landing coordinates, updates to mission specifications (including mission scope and objectives) and launch failures. If satellite or lander manufacturing schedules are not met, a launch opportunity may not be available at the time the satellites or landers are ready to be launched. We also share launches with other manufacturers who may cause launch delays that are outside of our control. In addition, launch vehicles or satellite deployment mechanisms may fail, which could result in the destruction of any satellites or landers we have in such launch vehicle or an inability for the satellites or landers to perform their intended mission. Launch failures also result in significant delays in the deployment of satellites or landers because of the need to manufacture replacement parts, which typically takes up to six months or longer, and to obtain another launch opportunity. We also regularly review intended landing coordinates in order to determine the optimal landing site for our landers in consultation with NASA, while also updating mission specifications such as the scope of missions and the mission objectives. As such, from time to time, we have made, and expect to continue to make, material modifications to our missions, each of which may, alone or in the aggregate, cause us experience material delays. Further, it could be more costly, and potentially prohibitively more costly, for us to launch and deploy our satellites or landers in the future due to increases in the cost of launches, launch insurance rates and launch-related services. Any launch failure, underperformance, delay, or increase in the cost of satellite or lander launches or related services, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business prospects and financial condition.

Customer concentration creates risks for our business.

Over 80% of our revenues each year comes from a small number of customers. To the extent that any large customer fails to meet its purchase commitments, changes its ordering patterns or business strategy, or otherwise reduces its purchases or stops purchasing our products or services, or if we experience difficulty in meeting the demand by these customers for our products or services, our revenues and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We may experience a total loss of our technology and products and our customers’ payloads if there is an accident on launch or during the journey into space, and any insurance we have may not be adequate to cover our loss. Also, due to the inherent risks associated with commercial spaceflight, there is the possibility that any accident or catastrophe could lead to the loss of human life or a medical emergency.

Although there have been and will continue to be technological advances in spaceflight, it is still an inherently dangerous activity. Explosions and other accidents on launch or during the flight have occurred and will likely occur in the future. If such incident should occur, we will likely experience a total loss of our systems, products, technologies and services and our customers’ payloads. The total or partial loss of one or more of our products or customer payloads could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. For some missions, we can elect to buy launch insurance, which can reduce our monetary losses from the launch failure, but even in this case we will have losses associated with our inability to test our technology in space and delays with further technology development.

Further, commercial spaceflight is an inherently risky activity that can lead to accidents or catastrophes impacting human life. It is impossible to completely eliminate the potential for human error, and there is a possibility that other accidents may occur in the future as a result of human error or for a variety of other reasons, some of which may be out of our control. Any such accident could result in substantial losses to us, including reputational harm and legal liability, and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The release, unplanned ignition, explosion, or improper handling of dangerous materials used in our business could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our financial results.

Our business operations involve the handling, production and disposition of potentially explosive and ignitable energetic materials and other dangerous chemicals, including materials used in rocket propulsion. The handling, production, transport and disposition of hazardous materials could result in incidents that temporarily shut down or otherwise disrupt

80

Table of Contents

our manufacturing operations and could cause production delays. A release of these chemicals or an unplanned ignition or explosion could result in death or significant injuries to employees and others. Material property damage to us and third parties could also occur. Extensive regulations apply to the handling of explosive and energetic materials, including but not limited to regulations governing hazardous substances and hazardous waste. The failure to properly store and ultimately dispose of such materials could create significant liability and/or result in regulatory sanctions. Any release, unplanned ignition, or explosion could expose us to adverse publicity or liability for damages or cause production delays, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition and/or cash flows.

We rely on a limited number of suppliers for certain materials and supplied components. We may not be able to obtain sufficient materials or supplied components to meet our manufacturing and operating needs, or obtain such materials on favorable terms.

We rely on a limited number of suppliers for certain raw materials and supplied components. We may not be able to obtain sufficient raw materials or supplied components to meet our manufacturing and operating needs, or obtain such materials on favorable terms, which could impair our ability to fulfill our orders in a timely manner or increase our costs of production.

Our ability to manufacture our launch vehicles is dependent upon sufficient availability of raw materials and supplied components, which we secure from a limited number of suppliers. Our reliance on suppliers to secure these raw materials and supplied components exposes us to volatility in the prices and availability of these materials. We may not be able to obtain sufficient supply of raw materials or supplied components, on favorable terms or at all, which could result in delays in manufacture of our spacecraft or increased costs.

In addition, we have in the past and may in the future experience delays in manufacture or operation as we go through the requalification process with any replacement third-party supplier, as well as the limitations imposed by the International Trade in Arms Regulations administered by the U.S. Department of State (“ITAR”) and other restrictions on transfer of sensitive technologies. Additionally, the imposition of tariffs on such raw materials or supplied components could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Prolonged disruptions in the supply of any of our key raw materials or components, difficulty qualifying new sources of supply, implementing use of replacement materials or new sources of supply or any volatility in prices could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate in a cost-efficient, timely manner and could cause us to experience cancellations or delays of scheduled launches, customer cancellations or reductions in our prices and margins, any of which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our revenue, results of operations and reputation may be negatively impacted if our products contain defects or fail to operate in the expected manner.

We sell complex and technologically advanced products and services, including rocket launch services, mission services, spacecraft and spacecraft components. Sophisticated software used in our products and services, including software developed by us, may contain defects that can unexpectedly interfere with the software’s intended operation. Defects may also occur in components and products that we manufacture or purchase from third parties. Most of the launch vehicles, spacecraft and spacecraft components we have developed must function under demanding and unpredictable operating conditions and in harsh and potentially destructive environments. Our products and services may not be successfully implemented, pass required acceptance criteria, or operate or give the desired output, or we may not be able to detect and fix all defects in the launch vehicles, spacecraft, spacecraft components and systems we sell and/or use. Failure to do so could result in lost revenue and damage to our reputation and may adversely affect our ability to win new contract awards.

Rising inflation may materially impact our financial operations or results of operations.

Recently, inflation has increased to its highest level in decades. Inflation in the economy has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, shipping costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor and other similar effects. As a result of inflation, we have and may continue to experience cost increases. Although we may take measures to mitigate the impact of inflation, if these measures are not effective, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our business is substantially dependent on contracts entered into with customers in the ordinary course of business. As such, we are subject to counterparty risk. If a counterparty to one of our contracts were to default or otherwise fail to perform or be delayed in its performance on any of its contractual obligations to us, such default, failure to perform or delay could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is substantially dependent on contracts entered into with customers, in the ordinary course of business. Our budgeted capital expenditures, forecasted growth and strategic plan are based on revenues expected to be generated pursuant to signed contracts existing as of the date such budget, forecast and strategic plan are approved by management and our board of directors. If a customer were to default or otherwise fail to perform or be delayed in the fulfilment of its contractual obligations to us, we would be required to adjust our budget, forecasts and strategic plans to mitigate the impact of such circumstance, which may negatively affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and/or liquidity. Additionally, if the scope of anticipated work related to any customer contract were to change due to unforeseen circumstances or evolving requirements of one or more of our counterparties, we may be unable to generate revenue on our anticipated timeline or may be required to incur increased costs from those originally estimated for a project, which could cause our budgets, forecasts and plans to be inaccurate. For instance, due to a change in the landing site of the IM-1 mission and an incremental delay in milestone payments due to a now-resolved technical issue, we expect that certain revenue associated with such mission will shift from 2022 to 2023. See the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Intuitive Machines — New Lunar Landing Site and Updated Financial Expectations” for more information. While we endeavor to mitigate this risk by assuming potential delays in revenue generation and estimated contract progress when preparing our budget, forecast and strategic plans, it is not possible to predict with accuracy the impact of any default, failure to perform or delay, which results in our inability to completely mitigate such risks. As such, the counterparty default, failure to perform or delay in performance may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If our prime contractors fail to maintain their relationships with their counterparties and fulfill their contractual obligations, our performance as a subcontractor and our ability to obtain future business could be materially and adversely impacted and our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated.

We act as a subcontractor to prime contractors on multiple government contracts, including NASA’s JSC Engineering, Technology, and Science program (“JETS Program”). Our performance as a subcontractor on a government contract, including the JETS Program, is dependent on the prime contractor’s ability to satisfactorily maintain its relationship with the government and fulfill its obligations under its contracts. A failure by the prime contractors to fulfill their obligations under their contracts could result in the termination of the prime contract or delayed revenue generation and recognition, thereby resulting in either the termination of our subcontract or material modifications to our subcontract. If any significant subcontract is terminated or delayed in this manner, it could cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated.

Risks Relating to Compliance with Law, Government Regulation and Litigation

Our business with various governmental entities is subject to the policies, priorities, regulations, mandates and funding levels of such governmental entities and may be negatively or positively impacted by any change thereto.

We are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations relating to various aspects of our business, including with respect to our launch system operations, employment and labor, health care, tax, data privacy of the personal information we collect and process and data security of the operational and information technology we use, health and safety, and environmental issues. Laws and regulations at the foreign, federal, state and local levels frequently change and are often interpreted in different ways, especially in relation to new and emerging industries, and we cannot always reasonably predict the impact from, or the ultimate cost of compliance with, current or future regulatory or administrative changes. While we monitor these developments and devote a significant amount of management’s time and external resources towards compliance with these laws, regulations and guidelines, we cannot guarantee that these measures will be satisfactory to regulators or other third parties, such as our customers. Moreover, changes in law, the imposition of new or additional regulations or the enactment of any new or more stringent legislation that impacts our business could require us to change the way we operate and could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.

82

Table of Contents

Failure to comply with these laws, such as with respect to obtaining and maintaining licenses, certificates, authorizations and permits critical for the operation of our business, may result in civil penalties or private lawsuits, or the suspension or revocation of licenses, certificates, authorizations or permits, which would prevent us from operating our business. For example, the operation and launch of our spacecraft in the United States require licenses and permits from the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) and the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”), as well as review by other agencies of the U.S. Government, including the Department of Defense, Department of State, and NASA. Such license approvals may include an interagency review of safety, operational, national security, foreign policy implications and international obligations, as well as a review of foreign ownership. Any delays in regulatory actions allowing us to conduct our commercial space operations could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results.

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets and know how, our business and competitive position may be harmed.

We rely upon unpatented trade secret protection, unpatented know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain our business and competitive position, and we consider trade secrets and know-how to be our primary form of intellectual property protection. We seek to protect our proprietary technology, in part, by entering into confidentiality agreements with our suppliers, subcontractors, venture partners, employees and consultants, and other third parties. However, we may not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of information which we consider to be confidential, our technical know-how or other trade secrets by the parties to these agreements, despite the existence generally of confidentiality provisions and other contractual restrictions. Monitoring unauthorized uses and disclosures is difficult, and we do not know whether the steps we have taken to protect our proprietary technologies will be effective. If any of the suppliers, subcontractors, venture partners, employees and consultants, and other third parties who are parties to these agreements breaches or violates the terms of any of these agreements, we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach or violation, and we could lose our trade secrets as a result. It is also possible that our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information could be obtained by third parties as a result of breaches of our physical or electronic security systems. Even where remedies are available, enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated our trade secrets, like patent litigation, is expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets.

Additionally, despite our efforts to protect our proprietary technology, our trade secrets could otherwise become known or be independently discovered by our competitors. If any of our trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor or other third party, we would have no right to prevent them, or those to whom they communicate, from using that technology or information to compete with us.

Our systems utilize third-party open source software, and any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open source software licenses could adversely affect our business, subject us to litigation, or create potential liability.

Our systems include software licensed from third parties under any one or more open source licenses, and we expect to continue to incorporate open source software in our systems and technology in the future. Moreover, we cannot ensure that we have effectively monitored our use of open source software, or validated the quality or source of such software, or that we are in compliance with the terms of the applicable open source licenses or our current policies and procedures. From time to time, there have been claims against companies that use open source software in their products and services asserting that the use of such open source software infringes the claimants’ intellectual property rights. As a result, we could be subject to suits by third parties claiming that what we believe to be licensed open source software infringes such third parties’ intellectual property rights. Additionally, if an author or other third party that distributes such open source software were to allege that we had not complied with the conditions of one or more of these licenses, we could be required to incur significant legal expenses defending against such allegations and could be subject to significant damages and required to comply with onerous conditions or restrictions on these solutions, which could disrupt the distribution and sale of these solutions. Litigation could be costly for us to defend, have a negative effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, or require us to devote additional research and development resources to change our solutions. Furthermore, these third-party open source providers could experience service outages, data loss, privacy breaches, cyber-attacks, and other events relating to the applications and services they provide that could diminish the utility of these services, and which could harm our business as a result. In the past, we’ve experienced software vulnerabilities with our software providers. We may continue to experience such vulnerabilities in the future.

Use of open source software may entail greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code, including with respect to security vulnerabilities where open source software may be more susceptible. In addition, certain open source licenses require that source code for software programs that incorporate, use or combine with such open source software be made available to the public at no cost and that any modifications or derivative works to such open source software continue to be licensed under the same terms as the open source software license. The terms of various open source licenses to which we are subject have not or may not have been interpreted by courts in the relevant jurisdictions, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to market or provide our software and data. By the terms of certain open source licenses, we could be required to release the source code of our proprietary software, and to make our proprietary software available under open source licenses, if we combine our proprietary software with open source software in a certain manner. In the event that portions of our proprietary software are determined to be subject to an open source license, we could be required to publicly release the affected portions of our source code, re-engineer all or a portion of our solutions, or otherwise be limited in the licensing of our solutions, each of which could reduce or eliminate the value of our solutions. Disclosing our proprietary source code could allow our competitors to create similar products with lower development effort and time and ultimately could result in a loss of sales. Furthermore, any such re-engineering or other remedial efforts could require significant additional research and development resources, and we may not be able to successfully complete any such re-engineering or other remedial efforts. Any of these events could create liability for us and damage our reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition and the market price of our shares.

Intuitive Machines has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting If not remediated, or if New Intuitive Machines experiences additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fails to maintain effective internal controls in the future, New Intuitive Machines may not be able to accurately or timely report its financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in New Intuitive Machines and, as a result, the value of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock.

As an emerging growth company, we are in the process of developing our internal processes and procedures to accommodate our rapid growth in recent years. In the course of preparing the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 that are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, our management determined that we have three material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. These material weaknesses primarily relate to the following matters that are relevant to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

        We did not design and maintain effective controls over identification of performance obligations and timing of revenue recognition for certain contracts, as well as the review and reconciliation of certain revenue schedules to the trial balance.

        We did not design and maintain effective controls over the identification and recognition of non-routine, unusual or complex transactions.

        We did not maintain proper segregation of duties related to the posting of manual journal entries to the trial balance.

These deficiencies could result in a misstatement of one or more account balances or disclosures potentially leading to a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements which may not be prevented or timely detected and, accordingly, management determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.

In order to remediate these material weaknesses, we have taken and plan to take the following actions:

        Continuing to hire personnel with public company experience and providing additional training for our personnel on internal controls as our company continues to grow;

        Implementing additional controls and processes that operate at a sufficient level of precision and frequency or that evidence the performance of the control, particularly associated with accounting and reporting of revenue and non-routine, unusual or complex transactions;

        Implementing processes and controls to better identify and manage segregation of duties;

84

Table of Contents

        Considering system enhancements to reduce reliance on manual processes; and

        Engaging an external advisor to assist with evaluating and documenting the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls and assisting with the remediation of deficiencies, as necessary.

We will not be able to fully remediate these control deficiencies until these steps have been completed, have been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective. We and our independent registered public accounting firm were not required to, and did not, perform an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 or any period in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we have identified all, or that we will not in the future have additional, material weaknesses. Material weaknesses may still exist when we report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act after the completion of the Business Combination.

If not remediated, these material weaknesses could result in further material misstatements to our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that might not be prevented or detected on a timely basis, or in delayed filing of required periodic reports. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or when required in the future after the completion of this Business Combination, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected and we could become subject to litigation or investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

The U.S. government’s budget deficit and the national debt, as well as any inability of the U.S. government to complete its budget process for any government fiscal year could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The U.S. government’s budget deficit and the national debt, as well as any inability of the U.S. government to complete its budget process for any government fiscal year and consequently having to shut down or operate on funding levels equivalent to its prior fiscal year pursuant to a “continuing resolution,” could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Considerable uncertainty exists regarding how future budget and program decisions will unfold, including the defense spending priorities of the U.S. government, what challenges budget reductions will present for the defense industry and whether annual appropriations bills for all agencies will be enacted for U.S. government fiscal year 2023 and thereafter due to many factors, including but not limited to, changes in the political environment, including before or after a change to the leadership within the government administration, and any resulting uncertainty or changes in policy or priorities and resultant funding. The U.S. government’s budget deficit and the national debt could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in a number of ways, including the following:

        The U.S. government could reduce or delay its spending on, reprioritize its spending away from, or decline to provide funding for the government programs in which we participate;

        U.S. government spending could be impacted by alternate arrangements to sequestration, which increases the uncertainty as to, and the difficulty in predicting, U.S. government spending priorities and levels; and

        We may experience declines in revenue, profitability and cash flows as a result of reduced or delayed orders or payments or other factors caused by economic difficulties of our customers and prospective customers, including U.S. federal, state and local governments.

Furthermore, we believe continued budget pressures could have serious negative consequences for the security of the U.S., the defense industrial base and the customers, employees, suppliers, investors and communities that rely on companies in the defense industrial base. Budget and program decisions made in this environment would have long-term implications for us and the entire defense industry.

We are subject to stringent U.S. export and import control laws and regulations and U.S. economic sanctions and trade control laws and regulations.

We are required to comply with U.S. export control laws and regulations, including ITAR, Bureau of Political Military Affairs’ directorate of Defense Trade controls administered by the U.S. Department of State, and the EAR, administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security. Pursuant to these foreign trade control laws and regulations, we are required, among other things, to (i) maintain a registration under ITAR, (ii) determine the proper licensing jurisdiction and export classification of products, software, and technology, and (iii) obtain licenses or other forms of U.S. government authorization to engage in the conduct of our space transport business. Violations of applicable export control laws and related regulations could result in criminal and administrative penalties, including fines, possible denial of export privileges, and debarment, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, including our ability to enter into contracts or subcontracts for U.S. government customers.

The inability to secure and maintain necessary export authorizations could negatively impact our ability to compete successfully or to operate our spaceflight business as planned. For example, if we were unable to obtain or maintain our licenses to export certain spacecraft hardware, we would be effectively prohibited from launching our vehicles from certain non-U.S. locations, which would limit the number of launch providers we could use. In addition, if we were unable to obtain a Department of State Technical Assistance Agreement to export certain launch related services, we would experience difficulties or even be unable to perform integration activities necessary to safely integrate our transfer vehicles to non-U.S. launch vehicles. In both cases, these restrictions could lead to higher launch costs which may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. Similarly, if we were unable to secure effective export licensure to authorize the full scope of activity with a foreign partner or supplier, we may be required to make design changes to spacecraft or updates to our supplier chain, which may result in increased costs to us or delays in vehicle launches.

Any changes in the export control regulations or U.S. government licensing policy, such as those necessary to implement U.S. government commitments to multilateral control regimes, may restrict our operations. There is no inherent right to perform an export and given the significant discretion the government has adjudicating such authorizations in furtherance of U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, there can be no assurance we will be successful in our current and future efforts to secure and maintain necessary licenses, registrations, or other U.S. government regulatory approvals.

In addition, U.S. export control laws continue to change. For example, the control lists under the ITAR and the EAR are periodically updated to reclassify specific types of export-controlled technology. For example, any changes to the jurisdictional assignment of controlled data or hardware used by us could result in the need for different export authorizations, each then subject to a subsequent approval.

Similarly, should exceptions or exemptions under the EAR or ITAR, respectively, be changed, our activities otherwise authorized via these mechanisms may become unavailable and could result in the need for additional export authorizations. Additionally, changes to the administrative implementation of export control laws at the agency level may suddenly change as a result of geo-political events, which could result in existing or proposed export authorization applications being viewed in unpredictable ways, or potentially rejected, as a result of the changed agency level protocol.

We depend significantly on U.S. government contracts, which often are only partially funded, subject to immediate termination, and heavily regulated and audited. The termination or failure to fund, or negative audit findings for, one or more of these contracts could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Over its lifetime, a U.S. government program may be implemented by the award of many different individual contracts and subcontracts. The funding of U.S. government programs is subject to U.S. Congressional appropriations. In recent years, U.S. government appropriations have been affected by larger U.S. government budgetary issues and related legislation. Although multi-year contracts may be authorized and appropriated in connection with major procurements, the U.S. Congress generally appropriates funds on a government fiscal year basis. Procurement funds are typically made available for obligation over the course of one to three years. Consequently, programs often initially receive only partial funding, and additional funds are obligated only as the U.S. Congress authorizes further appropriations. We cannot predict the extent to which total funding and/or funding for individual programs will be included, increased or reduced as part of the annual appropriations process ultimately approved by U.S. Congress and the President of the United States or in separate supplemental appropriations or continuing resolutions, as applicable. The termination of funding for a U.S. government

program would result in a loss of anticipated future revenue attributable to that program, which could have an adverse impact on our operations. In addition, the termination of a program or the failure to commit additional funds to a program that already has been started could result in lost revenue and increase our overall costs of doing business.

Generally, U.S. government contracts are subject to oversight audits by U.S. government representatives. Such audits could result in adjustments to our contract costs. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed, and such costs already reimbursed must be refunded. We have recorded contract revenue based on costs we expect to realize upon final audit. However, we do not know the outcome of any future audits and adjustments, and we may be required to materially reduce our revenue or profits upon completion and final negotiation of audits. Negative audit findings could also result in termination of a contract, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines or suspension or debarment from U.S. Government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time.

In addition, U.S. government contracts generally contain provisions permitting termination, in whole or in part, without prior notice at the U.S. government’s convenience upon payment only for work done and commitments made at the time of termination. For some contracts, we are a subcontractor and not the prime contractor, and in those arrangements, the U.S. Government could terminate the prime contractor for convenience without regard for our performance as a subcontractor. We can give no assurance that one or more of our U.S. government contracts will not be terminated under those circumstances. Also, we can give no assurance that we would be able to procure new contracts to offset the revenue or backlog lost as a result of any termination of our U.S. government contracts. Because a significant portion of our revenue is dependent on our performance and payment under our U.S. government contracts, the loss of one or more large contracts could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our contracts and services with the U.S. government is also subject to specific procurement regulations and a variety of socioeconomic and other requirements. These requirements, although customary in U.S. government contracts, increase our performance and compliance costs. These costs might increase in the future, thereby reducing our margins, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, the U.S. government has and may continue to implement initiatives focused on efficiencies, affordability and cost growth and other changes to its procurement practices. These initiatives and changes to procurement practices may change the way U.S. government contracts are solicited, negotiated and managed, which may affect whether and how we pursue opportunities to provide our products and services to the U.S. government, including the terms and conditions under which we do so, which may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For example, contracts awarded under the Department of Defense’s Other Transaction Authority for research and prototypes generally require cost-sharing and may not follow, or may follow only in part, standard U.S. government contracting practices and terms, such as the Federal Acquisition Regulation and Cost Accounting Standards.

Failure to comply with applicable regulations and requirements could lead to fines, penalties, repayments, or compensatory or treble damages, or suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time. Among the causes for debarment are violations of various laws and regulations, including those related to procurement integrity, export control (including ITAR), U.S. government security, employment practices, protection of the environment, accuracy of records, proper recording of costs and foreign corruption. The termination of a U.S. government contract or relationship as a result of any of these acts would have an adverse impact on our operations and could have an adverse effect on our standing and eligibility for future U.S. government contracts.

Uncertain global macro-economic and political conditions could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our results of operations are materially affected by economic and political conditions in the U.S. and internationally, including inflation, deflation, interest rates, availability of capital, energy and commodity prices, trade laws and the effects of governmental initiatives to manage economic conditions. Current or potential customers may delay or decrease spending on our products and services as their business and/or budgets are impacted by economic conditions. The inability of current and potential customers to pay us for our products and services may adversely affect our earnings and cash flows.

The current invasion of Ukraine by Russia has escalated tensions among the U.S., the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) and Russia. The U.S. and other NATO member states, as well as non-member states, have announced new sanctions against Russia and certain Russian banks, enterprises and individuals. These and any future additional sanctions and any resulting conflict between Russia, the U.S. and NATO countries could have an adverse impact on our current operations.

87

Table of Contents

Further, such invasion, ongoing military conflict, resulting sanctions and related countermeasures by NATO states, the U.S. and other countries are likely to lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions for equipment, which could have an adverse impact on our operations and financial performance.

Risks Relating to Intuitive Machines’ Capital Resources

Our indebtedness could expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In the future, we may incur additional indebtedness. Our indebtedness could have significant negative consequences for our security holders, business, results of operations and financial condition by, among other things:

        increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions;

        limiting our ability to obtain additional financing;

        requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, which will reduce the amount of cash available for other purposes;

        limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business; and

        placing us at a possible competitive disadvantage with competitors that are less leveraged than us or have better access to capital.

Our business may not generate sufficient funds, and we may otherwise be unable to maintain sufficient cash reserves, to pay any additional indebtedness that we may incur. In addition, any future indebtedness that we may incur may contain financial and other restrictive covenants that will limit our ability to operate our business, raise capital or make payments under our indebtedness. If we fail to comply with such covenants or to make payments under any of our indebtedness when due, then we would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in that indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full and cross-default or cross-acceleration under our other indebtedness and other liabilities.

Our actual operating results may differ significantly from our guidance.

From time to time, we have released, and may continue to release, guidance in our quarterly earnings releases, quarterly earnings conference calls, or otherwise, regarding our future performance that represents our management’s estimates as of the date of release. This guidance, which includes forward-looking statements, has been and will be based on projections prepared by our management. These projections are not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and neither our registered public accountants nor any other independent expert or outside party compiles or examines the projections. Accordingly, no such person expresses any opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to the projections.

Projections are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while presented with numerical specificity, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, such as COVID-19, and are based upon specific assumptions with respect to future business decisions, some of which will change. The rapidly evolving market in which we operate may make it difficult to evaluate our current business and our future prospects, including our ability to plan for and model future growth. We intend to state possible outcomes as high and low ranges which are intended to provide a sensitivity analysis as variables are changed. However, actual results will vary from our guidance and the variations may be material. The principal reason that we release guidance is to provide a basis for our management to discuss our business outlook as of the date of release with analysts and investors. We do not accept any responsibility for any projections or reports published by any such persons. Investors are urged not to rely upon our guidance in making an investment decision regarding our common stock.

Any failure to successfully implement our operating strategy or the occurrence of any of the events or circumstances set forth in this “Risk Factors” section could result in our actual operating results being different from our guidance, and the differences may be adverse and material.

Table of Contents

We have a history of losses and may not achieve profitability in the future. We will need substantial additional capital to fund our operations. If we fail to obtain additional capital, we may be unable to sustain operations.

We expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to expand and develop, and we may need additional capital from external sources. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue one or more of our R&D programs. We may be required to cease operations or seek partners for our product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available. In the absence of additional capital we may also be required to relinquish, license or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet our obligations. These measures could cause significant delays in the development of our product candidates.

We are a “smaller reporting company” under federal securities laws and we cannot be certain whether the reduced reporting requirements applicable to such companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are a “smaller reporting company” under federal securities laws. For as long as we continue to be a smaller reporting company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company so long as our public float remains less than $250 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or our annual revenues are less than $100 million and our public float remains less than $700 million. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may decline or be more volatile.

Our financial results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

We expect our revenue and operating results to vary from quarter to quarter. Reductions in revenue in a particular quarter could lead to lower profitability in that quarter because a relatively large amount of our expenses are fixed in the short-term. We may incur significant operating expenses during the start-up and early stages of large contracts and may not be able to recognize corresponding revenue in that same quarter. We may also incur additional expenses when contracts are terminated or expire and are not renewed. We may also incur additional expenses when companies are newly acquired.

In addition, payments due to us from our customers may be delayed due to billing cycles or as a result of failures of government budgets to gain congressional and administration approval in a timely manner. The U.S. government’s fiscal year ends September 30. If a federal budget for the next federal fiscal year has not been approved by that date in each year, our customers may have to suspend engagements that we are working on until a budget has been approved. Any such suspensions may reduce our revenue in the fourth quarter of the federal fiscal year or the first quarter of the subsequent federal fiscal year. The U.S. government’s fiscal year end can also trigger increased purchase requests from customers for equipment and materials.

Any increased purchase requests we receive as a result of the U.S. government’s fiscal year end would serve to increase our third or fourth quarter revenue, but will generally decrease profit margins for that quarter, as these activities generally are not as profitable as our typical offerings.

Additional factors that may cause our financial results to fluctuate from quarter to quarter include those addressed elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section and the following factors, among others:

        the terms of customer contracts that affect the timing of revenue recognition;

        variability in demand for our services and solutions;

        commencement, completion or termination of contracts during any particular quarter;

        timing of shipments and product deliveries;

        timing of award or performance incentive fee notices;

89

Table of Contents

        timing of significant bid and proposal costs;

        the costs of remediating unknown defects, errors or performance problems of our product offerings;

        variable purchasing patterns under blanket purchase agreements and other indefinite delivery/ indefinite quantity contracts;

        restrictions on and delays related to the export of defense articles and services;

        costs related to government inquiries;

        strategic decisions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions, divestitures, spin-offs and joint ventures;

        strategic investments or changes in business strategy;

        changes in the extent to which we use subcontractors;

        seasonal fluctuations in our staff utilization rates;

        changes in our effective tax rate, including changes in our judgment as to the necessity of the valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets; and

        the length of sales cycles.

Significant fluctuations in our operating results for a particular quarter could cause us to fall out of compliance with the financial covenants related to our debt, which if not waived, could restrict our access to capital and cause us to take extreme measures to pay down the debt, if any.

Changes in our accounting estimates and assumptions could negatively affect our financial position and results of operations.

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. We are also required to make certain judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. We periodically evaluate our estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, those relating to business acquisitions, revenue recognition, restructuring costs, recoverability of assets including customer receivables, valuation of goodwill and intangibles, contingencies, stock-based compensation and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable based on specific circumstances. These assumptions and estimates involve the exercise of judgment and discretion, which may evolve over time in light of operational experience, regulatory direction, developments in accounting principles and other factors. Actual results could differ from these estimates as a result of changes in circumstances, assumptions, policies or developments in the business, which could materially affect our consolidated financial statements.

Risks Relating to New Intuitive Machines’ Organizational Structure

Our principal asset after the completion of the Business Combination will be our interest in Intuitive Machines OpCo, and, accordingly, we will depend on distributions from Intuitive Machines OpCo to pay our taxes and expenses, including payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and to pay dividends. Intuitive Machines OpCo’s ability to make such distributions may be subject to various limitations and restrictions.

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, we will be a holding company and will have no material assets other than our ownership of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units, Intuitive Machines OpCo Warrants, Intuitive Machines OpCo Preferred Investor Warrants and Intuitive Machines OpCo Series A Units. As such, we will have no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow, and our ability to pay our taxes and operating expenses or declare and pay dividends in the future will be dependent upon the financial results and cash flows of Intuitive Machines OpCo and its subsidiaries and distributions we receive from Intuitive Machines OpCo. Intuitive Machines OpCo and its subsidiaries may not generate sufficient cash flow to distribute funds to us and applicable state law and contractual restrictions, including negative covenants in our debt instruments, may not permit such distributions.

90

Table of Contents

We anticipate that Intuitive Machines OpCo will continue to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, as such, will not be subject to any entity-level U.S. federal income tax. Instead, taxable income will be allocated to holders of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units and Intuitive Machines OpCo Series A Units, including us. Accordingly, we will incur income taxes on our allocable share of any net taxable income of Intuitive Machines OpCo. Under the terms of the Second A&R Operating Agreement, Intuitive Machines OpCo will be obligated, subject to various limitations and restrictions, including with respect to any applicable credit agreements, to make tax distributions to holders of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units and Intuitive Machines OpCo Series A Units, including us. In addition to tax expenses, we will also incur expenses related to our operations, including payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which we expect could be significant. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Tax Receivable Agreement.”

We intend, as its managing member, to cause Intuitive Machines OpCo to make (i) pro rata tax distributions to the Intuitive Machines Members in an amount sufficient to fund all or part of their tax obligations in respect of taxable income allocated to them and to cover our tax obligations, other than with respect to income allocated to the Series A Preferred Units, but including payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) additional tax distributions to us to the extent necessary to cover our tax obligations with respect to income from the Series A Preferred Units and (iii) distributions to us to pay our operating expenses and to fund any dividends, included dividends made on the Series A Preferred Stock. However, Intuitive Machines OpCo’s ability to make such distributions may be subject to various limitations and restrictions, such as restrictions on distributions that would either violate any contract or agreement to which Intuitive Machines OpCo is then a party, including debt agreements, or any applicable law, or that would have the effect of rendering Intuitive Machines OpCo insolvent. If we do not have sufficient funds to pay our tax or other liabilities or to fund our operations (including, if applicable, as a result of an acceleration of our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement), we may have to borrow funds, which could materially adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition and subject us to various restrictions imposed by any such lenders. To the extent that we are unable to make timely payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, such payments generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid; provided, however, that nonpayment for a specified period may constitute a material breach of a material obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting in a termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement and the acceleration of payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Tax Receivable Agreement” and “The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Second A&R Operating Agreement — Distributions.”

Under the Second A&R Operating Agreement, we intend to cause Intuitive Machines OpCo, from time to time, to make pro rata distributions in cash to each holder of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units (including us) in amounts at least sufficient to cover the taxes imposed on their allocable share of net taxable income of Intuitive Machines OpCo. As a result of (i) potential differences in the amount of net taxable income allocable to us and to Intuitive Machines OpCo’s other members, (ii) the lower tax rate applicable to corporations compared to individuals, and (iii) certain tax benefits that we anticipate from (a) future purchases or redemptions of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units from the Intuitive Machines Members (other than us) and (b) payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, these cash distributions may be in amounts that exceed our actual tax liabilities with respect to the relevant taxable year, including our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Our board of directors will determine the appropriate uses for any such excess cash, which may include, among other uses, the payment of obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement and the payment of other expenses. We will have no obligation to distribute such cash (or other available cash) to our stockholders. No adjustments to the exchange ratio for Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units and corresponding shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock will be made as a result of any cash distribution by us or any retention of cash by us, and in any event the ratio will remain one-to-one. To the extent we do not distribute such excess cash as dividends on our stock we may take other actions with respect to such excess cash, for example, holding such excess cash, or lending it (or a portion thereof) to Intuitive Machines OpCo, which may result in shares of our New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock increasing in value relative to the value of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units. Following such loan or a contribution of such excess cash to Intuitive Machines OpCo, we may, but are not required to, make an adjustment to the outstanding number of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units held by the Intuitive Machines Members (other than us). In the absence of such adjustment, the Intuitive Machines Members may benefit from any value attributable to such cash and/or loan balances if they acquire shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock in exchange for their Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units, notwithstanding that such holders may have participated previously as holders of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units in distributions that resulted in such excess cash balances.

The Tax Receivable Agreement with the TRA Holders requires us to make cash payments to them in respect of certain tax benefits to which we may become entitled, and we expect that the payments we will be required to make will be substantial.

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, we will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement with Intuitive Machines OpCo and the TRA Holders. Under the Tax Receivable Agreement, we will be required to make cash payments to the TRA Holders equal to 85% of the amount of cash tax savings, if any, that we actually realize, or in certain circumstances are deemed to realize (calculated using certain assumptions), as a result of the Existing Basis, Basis Adjustments and Interest Deductions (each as defined below). Assuming no material changes in the relevant tax law and that we earn sufficient taxable income to realize all tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, we expect that the tax savings associated with the (i) Existing Basis, (ii) Basis Adjustments, and (iii) Interest Deductions would aggregate to approximately $ 170.4 million over 20 years from the date of the Business Combination based on a $10.00 per share trading price of our New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, and assuming all future redemptions or exchanges would occur one year after the consummation of the Business Combination at the same assumed price per share. Under such scenario, assuming future payments are made on the due date (with extension) of each relevant U.S. federal income tax return, we would be required to pay approximately 87% of such amount, or approximately $148.2 million, over the 20-year period from the date of the Business Combination, and we would benefit from the remaining 13% of the tax benefits. We will depend on cash distributions from Intuitive Machines OpCo to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Any payments made by us to the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of cash that might have otherwise been available to us. Due to the uncertainty of various factors, we cannot precisely quantify the likely tax benefits we will realize as a result of the purchase of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units and Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Unit exchanges, and the resulting amounts we are likely to pay out to the TRA Holders pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement; however, we estimate that such payments will be substantial. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Tax Receivable Agreement.”

The payment obligation is an obligation of the Company and not of Intuitive Machines OpCo. Any payments made by us to the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement will not be available for reinvestment in our business and will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us. To the extent that we are unable to make timely payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, such payments will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid by us. Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are not conditioned upon one or more of the TRA Holders maintaining a continued ownership interest in Intuitive Machines OpCo or us. Furthermore, if we experience a Change of Control (as defined under the Second A&R Operating Agreement), which includes certain mergers, asset sales and other forms of business combinations, we would be obligated to make an immediate payment, and such payment may be significantly in advance of, and may materially exceed, the actual realization, if any, of the future tax benefits to which the payment relates. This payment obligation could (i) make us a less attractive target for an acquisition, particularly in the case of an acquirer that cannot use some or all of the tax benefits that are the subject of the Tax Receivable Agreement and (ii) result in holders of our New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock receiving substantially less consideration in connection with a change of control transaction than they would receive in the absence of such obligation. Accordingly, the TRA Holders’ interests may conflict with those of the holders of our New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock. For more information, see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Tax Receivable Agreement.”

In addition, decisions we make in the course of running our business, such as with respect to mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes in control, may influence the timing and amount of payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For example, the earlier disposition of assets following a redemption or exchange of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units may accelerate the recognition of associated tax benefits for which we would be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and increase the present value of such payments, and the disposition of assets before a redemption or exchange of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units increase the tax liability of the TRA Holders (or their transferees or assignees) without giving rise to any rights to receive payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement with respect to tax attributes associated with such assets. For more information, see “The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Tax Receivable Agreement.”

The ability to generate tax assets covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement, and the actual use of any resulting tax benefits, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of redemptions or exchanges of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units by, or purchases of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units from, the TRA Holders (or their transferees or other

Table of Contents

assignees), the price of our New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at the time of the redemption, exchange or purchase; the extent to which such redemptions, exchanges or purchases are taxable; the amount and timing of the taxable income allocated to us or otherwise generated by us in the future; the tax rates and laws then applicable and the portion of our payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement constituting imputed interest.

In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement to the TRA Holders may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed any actual benefits we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

The Tax Receivable Agreement will provide that if (i) we materially breach any of our material obligations thereunder or the Tax Receivable Agreement is rejected by operation of law, (ii) certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control were to occur after the consummation of the Business Combination or (iii) we elect an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, then our obligations, or our successor’s obligations, under the Tax Receivable Agreement to make payments would be accelerated and become immediately due and payable. The amount due and payable in those circumstances is based on the present value (at a discount rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 100 basis points) of projected future tax benefits that are based on certain assumptions, including an assumption that we would have sufficient taxable income to fully use all potential future tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. Based on such assumptions, if we were to exercise our termination right, or the Tax Receivable Agreement is otherwise terminated, immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, the aggregate amount of the termination payments would be approximately $100.4 million. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Tax Receivable Agreement.”

As a result of the foregoing, we would be required to make an immediate cash payment that may be made significantly in advance of the actual realization, if any, of such future tax benefits. We could also be required to make cash payments to the TRA Holders that are greater than 85% of the actual cash tax savings we ultimately realize in respect of the tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. In these situations, our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity and could have the effect of deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control. We may need to incur debt to finance payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement to the extent our cash resources are insufficient to meet our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement as a result of timing discrepancies or otherwise. We may not be able to fund or finance our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

We will not be reimbursed for any payments made to the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement in the event that any tax benefits are disallowed.

Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be based on the tax reporting positions that we determine, which are complex and factual in nature, and the IRS or another taxing authority may challenge all or part of the tax basis increases or other tax benefits we claim, as well as other related tax positions we take, and a court could sustain such challenge. If the outcome of any such challenge would reasonably be expected to materially affect a recipient’s rights and obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, then our ability to settle such challenges may be restricted by the rights of the TRA Holders pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, and such restrictions apply for as long as the Tax Receivable Agreement remains in effect. In addition, we will not be reimbursed for any cash payments previously made to the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement in the event that any tax benefits initially claimed by us and for which payment has been made to a TRA Holder are subsequently challenged by a taxing authority and are ultimately disallowed. Instead, any excess cash payments made by us to a TRA Holder will be netted against any future cash payments that we might otherwise be required to make to such TRA Holder under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement. However, we might not determine that we have effectively made an excess cash payment to a TRA Holder for a number of years following the initial time of such payment and, if any of our tax reporting positions are challenged by a taxing authority, we will not be permitted to reduce any future cash payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement until any such challenge is finally settled or determined. Moreover, the excess cash payments we made previously under the Tax Receivable Agreement could be greater than the amount of future cash payments against which we would otherwise be permitted to net such excess. As a result, payments could be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement significantly in excess of 85% of the actual cash tax savings that we realize in respect of the tax attributes with respect to a TRA Holder that are the subject of the Tax Receivable Agreement.

If Intuitive Machines OpCo were to become a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we and Intuitive Machines OpCo might be subject to potentially significant tax inefficiencies, and we would not be able to recover payments we previously made under the Tax Receivable Agreement even if the corresponding tax benefits were subsequently determined to have been unavailable due to such status.

We and Intuitive Machines OpCo intend to operate such that Intuitive Machines OpCo does not become a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A “publicly traded partnership” is a partnership, the interests of which are traded on an established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof. Under certain circumstances, exercises of the Intuitive Machines OpCo Options, redemptions and exchanges of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units pursuant to the Intuitive Machines Members’ redemption and exchange rights as described under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Second A&R Operating Agreement — Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units Redemption Right,” or other transfers of Intuitive Machines OpCo units could cause Intuitive Machines OpCo to be treated as a publicly traded partnership. Applicable U.S. Treasury regulations provide for certain safe harbors from treatment as a publicly traded partnership, and we intend to operate so that redemptions, exchanges and other transfers of Intuitive Machines OpCo units qualify for one or more such safe harbors. For example, we intend to limit the number of unitholders of Intuitive Machines OpCo, and the Second A&R Operating Agreement provides for limitations on the ability of unitholders of Intuitive Machines OpCo to transfer their Intuitive Machines OpCo units and will provide us, as managing member of Intuitive Machines OpCo, with the right to impose restrictions (in addition to those already in place) on the ability of owners of Intuitive Machines OpCo to redeem, exchange or otherwise transfer their Intuitive Machines OpCo units to the extent we believe it is necessary to ensure that Intuitive Machines OpCo will continue to be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If Intuitive Machines OpCo were to become a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, significant tax inefficiencies might result for us and for Intuitive Machines OpCo, including as a result of our inability to file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with Intuitive Machines OpCo. In addition, we may not be able to realize tax benefits covered under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and we would not be able to recover any payments previously made by us under the Tax Receivable Agreement, even if the corresponding tax benefits (including any claimed increase in the tax basis of Intuitive Machines’ OpCo’s assets) were subsequently determined to have been unavailable.

If we were deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, as a result of our ownership of Intuitive Machines OpCo, applicable restrictions could make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Under Sections 3(a)(1)(A) and (C) of the Investment Company Act, a company generally will be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes of the Investment Company Act if (i) it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities or (ii) it engages, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. We do not believe that we are an “investment company,” as such term is defined in either of those sections of the Investment Company Act.

As the sole managing member of Intuitive Machines OpCo, we will control and operate Intuitive Machines OpCo. On that basis, we believe that our interest in Intuitive Machines OpCo is not an “investment security” as that term is used in the Investment Company Act. However, if we were to cease participation in the management of Intuitive Machines OpCo, our interest in Intuitive Machines OpCo could be deemed an “investment security” for purposes of the Investment Company Act.

We and Intuitive Machines OpCo intend to conduct our operations so that we will not be deemed an investment company. However, if we were to be deemed an investment company, restrictions imposed by the Investment Company Act, including limitations on our capital structure and our ability to transact with affiliates, could make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Intuitive Machines and New Intuitive Machines will be controlled by the Intuitive Machines Founders, whose interests may differ from those of New Intuitive Machines’ public stockholders.

The Intuitive Machines Founders will have control over all stockholder decisions because they will control a substantial majority of the combined voting power of New Intuitive Machines following the Closing. This will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters. Specifically, upon Closing, the Intuitive Machines Founders will collectively control approximately 50.1% of the combined voting power of our common stock under the No Redemptions Scenario and 62.0% under the Maximum Redemptions Scenario as a result of their ownership of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, each share of which is entitled to three votes on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders.

As a result, the Intuitive Machines Founders will have the ability to control any action requiring the general approval of our stockholders, including the election of our board of directors, the adoption of amendments to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the approval of any merger or sale of substantially all of our assets. This concentration of ownership and voting power may also delay, defer or even prevent an acquisition by a third party or other change of control of us and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible without their support, even if such events are in the best interests of minority stockholders. This concentration of voting power may have a negative impact on the trading price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock.

The Intuitive Machines Founders are entitled to vote their shares, and shares over which they have voting control, in their own interests, which may not always be in the interests of our stockholders generally. Because the Intuitive Machines Founders hold their economic interest in our business through Intuitive Machines OpCo, rather than through Intuitive Machines, Inc., they may have conflicting interests with holders of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock. For example, the Intuitive Machines Founders may have a different tax position from us, which could influence their decisions regarding whether and when we should dispose of assets or incur new or refinance existing indebtedness, especially in light of the existence of the Tax Receivable Agreement, and whether and when we should undergo certain changes of control within the meaning of the Tax Receivable Agreement or terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement. In addition, the structuring of future transactions may take into consideration these tax or other considerations even where no similar benefit would accrue to us. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Tax Receivable Agreement.” In addition, the Intuitive Machines Founders’ ability to effectively control us may discourage someone from making a significant equity investment in us, or could discourage transactions involving a change in control, including transactions in which you as a holder of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock might otherwise receive a premium for your shares over the then-current market price.

We cannot predict the impact our multi-class structure may have on our stock price.

We cannot predict whether our multi-class structure will result in a lower or more volatile market price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock or in adverse publicity or other adverse consequences. For example, certain index providers have announced restrictions on including companies with multiple-class share structures in certain of their indices. FTSE Russell and Standard & Poor’s does not allow most newly public companies utilizing dual or multi-class capital structure to be included in their indices. Affected indices include the Russell 2000 and the S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400 and S&P Small Cap 600, which together make up the S&P Composite 1500. Our multi-class capital structure may make us ineligible for inclusion in certain indices, and as a result, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and other investment vehicles that attempt to passively track these indices will not be investing in our stock. In addition, other stock indices may take similar actions. Given the sustained flow of investment funds into passive strategies that seek to track certain indices, exclusion from certain stock indices would likely preclude investment by many of these funds and would make New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock less attractive to other investors. As a result, the trading price and volume of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock could be adversely affected.

We may issue shares of preferred stock in the future, which could make it difficult for another company to acquire us or could otherwise adversely affect holders of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, which could depress the trading price of our New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock.

Our certificate of incorporation will authorize us to issue one or more series of preferred stock. Our board of directors will have the authority to determine the preferences, limitations and relative rights of the shares of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our preferred stock could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to the rights of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock. The potential issuance of preferred stock may delay or prevent a change in control of us, discourage bids for New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at a premium to the market price and materially and adversely affect the market price and the voting and other rights of the holders of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock.

Risks Related to Inflection Point

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “Inflection Point,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Inflection Point prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and New Intuitive Machines after the consummation of the Business Combination.

Risks Relating to our Search for, and Consummation of or Inability to Consummate, an Initial Business Combination

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As of September 30, 2022, we had $19,442 in our operating bank account, and working capital deficiency $1,995,115. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. Management’s plans to address this need for capital are discussed in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Inflection Point.” If we are unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO (by September 24, 2023), then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. Our liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of Inflection Point contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to continue as a going concern.

Our Sponsor and management team have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our Public Shareholders vote.

As of the Record Date, our Sponsor owns 20% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Although it is not required to do so, Kingstown 1740, an affiliate of the Sponsor, has advised us that it intends to vote all Public Shares it holds in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the Record Date, the Sponsor and Kingstown 1740 collectively own approximately 27% of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

Our Sponsor, officers and directors also may from time to time purchase Public Shares prior to our initial business combination. The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that, if we seek shareholder approval of an initial business combination, such initial business combination will be approved if we receive an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of Inflection Point including the Founder Shares. As a result, in addition to our Sponsor’s Founder Shares, and the 2,900,000 Public Shares owned by Kingstown 1740 Fund, LP, we will need 9,465,625, or 28.7% (assuming all issued and outstanding shares are voted) of the 32,975,000 Public Shares sold in our IPO to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to have the Business Combination approved. If only the minimum number of shares representing a quorum are voted, no affirmative votes from other Public Shareholders would be required to approve the Business Combination. Accordingly, the agreement by our Sponsor, officers and directors, and the intent of Kingstown 1740 to vote in favor of the Business Combination will increase the likelihood that we will receive an ordinary resolution, being the requisite shareholder approval for the Business Combination.

The ability of our Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our Public Shares could increase the probability that the Business Combination will be unsuccessful and that you would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem your Public Shares.

We do not know how many Public Shareholders may exercise their redemption rights. If a larger number of Public Shares are submitted for redemption than we initially expected, we may need to arrange for additional debt or equity financing to provide working capital to New Intuitive Machines following the Closing. There can be no assurance that such debt or equity financing will be available to us if we need it or, if available, the terms will be satisfactory to us. Raising additional third party financing may involve dilutive equity issuances or the incurrence of indebtedness at higher than desirable levels and may increase the probability that the Business Combination will be unsuccessful. If the Business Combination is unsuccessful, you would not receive your pro rata portion of the Trust Account until we complete an alternate initial business combination or liquidate the Trust Account if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the time period provided by our Organizational Documents. If you are in need of immediate liquidity, you could attempt to sell your Public Shares in the open market; however, at such time our Public Shares may trade at a discount to the pro rata amount per share in the Trust Account. In either situation, you may suffer a material loss on your investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with your exercise of redemption rights until we liquidate or you are able to sell your Public Shares in the open market.

Our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase Public Shares from Public Shareholders, which may reduce the public “float” of our Public Shares.

At any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material non-public information regarding Inflection Point, Intuitive Machines, or its or their securities, our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market from shareholders who redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, their Public Shares, or they may enter into transactions with such persons and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares. Any Public Shares purchased by the Sponsor or its affiliates would be purchased at a price no higher than the Redemption Price for the Public Shares. For illustrative purposes, as of September 30, 2022, this would have amounted to approximately $10.06 per Public Share. Any Public Shares so purchased would not be voted by the Sponsor or its affiliates at the extraordinary general meeting and would not be redeemable by the Sponsor or its affiliates.

The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to decrease the number of redemptions. While the nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or warrants owned by the Sponsor for nominal value.

However, other than as expressly stated in this proxy statement/prospectus, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Public Shares in such transactions.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the price of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than the market price and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the extraordinary general meeting. In addition, the public “float” of our Public Shares and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

If you or a “group” of Public Shareholders are deemed to hold in excess of 20% of our Public Shares, you will lose the ability to redeem all such Public Shares in excess of 20% of our Public Shares.

The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the Public Shares without our prior consent, which we refer to as the Excess Shares. However, such Public Shareholders’ may vote all of their Public Shares (including Excess Shares) for or against the Business

97

Table of Contents

Combination. Your inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce your influence over our ability to complete the Business Combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in Inflection Point if you sell Excess Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if Inflection Point completes the Business Combination. And as a result, you will continue to hold that number of Public Shares exceeding 20% and, in order to dispose of such Public Shares, would be required to sell your Public Shares in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.

If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by Public Shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share.

Inflection Point’s placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against Inflection Point. Although Inflection Point seeks to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which it does business execute agreements with it waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of Inflection Point’s Public Shareholders, such parties may not execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements they may not be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against Inflection Point’s assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, Inflection Point’s management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to it and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be in the best interests of Inflection Point under the circumstances, Marcum LLP, Inflection Point’s independent registered public accounting firm, and the underwriters of Inflection Point’s IPO did not, and will not, execute agreements with Inflection Point waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account.

Examples of possible instances where Inflection Point may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Inflection Point and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of Inflection Point’s Public Shares, if it is unable to complete the Business Combination, or another initial business combination, within the prescribed timeframe, or upon the exercise of the redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, or another initial business combination, Inflection Point will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per-share redemption amount received by Public Shareholders could be less than the $10.00 per Public Share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors. Pursuant to a Letter Agreement, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Inflection Point if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to Inflection Point, or a prospective target business with which Inflection Point has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of: (i) $10.00 per Public Share; and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under Inflection Point’s indemnity of the underwriters of its IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, Inflection Point has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has it independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and Inflection Point believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of Inflection Point. Therefore, Inflection Point cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for the Business Combination, or another initial business combination, and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per Public Share. In such event, Inflection Point may not be able to complete the Business Combination, or another initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your Public Shares. None of Inflection Point’s officers or directors will indemnify Inflection Point for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

98

Table of Contents

Inflection Point’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the Public Shareholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of: (i) $10.00 per Public Share; and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, Inflection Point’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While Inflection Point currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on its behalf against the Sponsor to enforce the Sponsor’s indemnification obligations to Inflection Point, it is possible that Inflection Point’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. If Inflection Point’s independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to Inflection Point’s Public Shareholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of our directors and officers.

We have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, our officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and to not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will be able to be satisfied by us only if: (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account; or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination. Our obligation to indemnify our officers and directors may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our shareholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Public Shareholders, Inflection Point files a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in Inflection Point’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Inflection Point’s shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by Inflection Point’s shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If, after Inflection Point distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its Public Shareholders, it files a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy or insolvency court may seek to recover such proceeds, and the members of the Inflection Point Board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Inflection Point’s creditors, thereby exposing the members of the Inflection Point Board and Inflection Point to claims of punitive damages.

If, after Inflection Point distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its Public Shareholders, it files a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy or insolvency court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by Inflection Point’s shareholders. In addition, the Inflection Point Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to Inflection Point’s creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and Inflection Point to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.

Changes in laws or regulations, including different or heightened rules or requirements promulgated by the SEC, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect Inflection Point’s business, its ability to complete the Business Combination and its results of operations.

Inflection Point is subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, Inflection Point is required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. It is likely that Inflection Point will become subject to different or heightened rules or requirements promulgated by the SEC, and Inflection Point may become subject to heightened or increased scrutiny by the SEC. In addition to existing SEC staff guidance, on March 30, 2022, the SEC proposed new rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”) that would impose, amongst other things, specialized disclosure requirements regarding business combination transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) such as in the context of conflict of interest or use of projections, impose underwriter liability for certain participants in business combination transactions involving SPACs, render SPACs ineligible to rely on the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act for making forward looking statements, and create a specific safe harbor for SPACs not to be deemed investment companies under the Investment Company Act. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and existing and proposed regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Given these factors, as well as the rise in SPAC litigation, Inflection Point may find it challenging to complete the Business Combination.

There is a risk that the new 1% U.S. federal excise tax may be imposed on us in connection with redemptions of our shares.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 became law, which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of certain repurchases (including certain redemptions) of stock by “covered corporations” (which include publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations). The excise tax will apply to stock repurchases occurring in 2023 and beyond. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares of stock repurchased at the time of the repurchase. The U.S. Department of Treasury has authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of, the excise tax. On December 27, 2022, the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued a notice that provides interim operating rules for the excise tax, including rules governing the calculation and reporting of the excise tax, on which taxpayers may rely until the forthcoming proposed Treasury regulations addressing the excise tax are published. Although such notice clarifies certain aspects of the excise tax, the interpretation and operation of other aspects of the excise tax remain unclear, and such interim operating rules are subject to change. Because we expect to redeem Public Shares prior to domesticating as a Delaware corporation, although our securities are trading on Nasdaq, we currently do not expect that we would be a covered corporation subject to the excise tax with respect to any redemptions of Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination that are treated as repurchases for this purpose. It is possible, however, that applicable guidance is issued that would nevertheless treat us as a covered corporation or otherwise impose the excise tax on us with respect to redemptions of Public Shares while we are a non-U.S. corporation. In addition, if the redemptions were ultimately effected after the Domestication or if the redemptions were treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as occurring after the Domestication, absent guidance to the contrary, we currently expect that we would be subject to the excise tax with respect to any such redemptions that are treated as repurchases for this purpose.

If we were subject to the excise tax with respect to redemptions of our shares, the extent of the excise tax that may be incurred would depend on a number of factors, including the fair market value of the shares redeemed, the extent such redemptions could be treated as dividends and not repurchases, whether an exception may be available, and the content of any forthcoming regulations and other guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury that may be issued and applicable to the redemptions. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not the stockholders from which stock is repurchased, and only limited guidance on the mechanics of any required reporting and payment of the excise tax on which taxpayers may rely have been issued to date. The imposition of the excise tax could reduce the amount of cash available to us for effecting the redemptions of our shares, and could reduce the cash on hand for us to fund operations and to make distributions to shareholders.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete the Business Combination.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities may be restricted, including:

        restrictions on the nature of our investments; and

100

Table of Contents

        restrictions on the issuance of securities, each of which may make it difficult for us to complete the Business Combination. In addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome requirements, including:

        registration as an investment company with the SEC;

        adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and

        reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations.

In order not to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, unless we can qualify for an exclusion, we must ensure that we are engaged primarily in a business other than investing, reinvesting or trading of securities and that our activities do not include investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading “investment securities” constituting more than 40% of our assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Our business is to identify and complete an initial business combination and thereafter to operate the post-transaction business or assets for the long term. We do not plan to buy businesses or assets with a view to resale or profit from their resale. We do not plan to buy unrelated businesses or assets or to be a passive investor.

We do not believe that our principal activities will subject us to the Investment Company Act. To this end, the funds held in the Trust Account may only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, Continental is not permitted to invest in other securities or assets. By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments, and by having a business plan targeted at acquiring and growing businesses for the long term (rather than on buying and selling businesses in the manner of a merchant bank or private equity fund), we intend to avoid being deemed an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. Our IPO was not, and our securities are not, intended for persons who are seeking a return on investments in government securities or investment securities. The Trust Account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of either: (i) the completion of our initial business combination; (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Business Combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination before September 24, 2023 or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; or (iii) absent an initial business combination before September 24, 2023, our return of the funds held in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders as part of our redemption of the Public Shares. If we do not invest the proceeds as discussed above, we may be deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act. If we were deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expenses for which we have not allotted funds and may hinder our ability to complete an Initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Initial Business Combination, our Public Shareholders may only receive their pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account that are available for distribution to Public Shareholders, and our Inflection Point Warrants will expire worthless.

If Inflection Point is deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, it may be forced to abandon our efforts to complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination and instead be required to liquidate. To mitigate the risk of that result, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to the IPO, Inflection Point may instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash. As a result, following such change, Inflection Point will likely receive minimal, if any, interest, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount that r Public Shareholders would have otherwise received upon any redemption or liquidation of Inflection Point if the assets in the Trust Account had remained in U.S. government securities or money market funds.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued the SPAC Rule Proposals, relating, among other things, to circumstances in which SPACs such as us could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. The SPAC Rule Proposals would provide a safe harbor for such companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria. To comply with the duration limitation of the proposed safe harbor, a SPAC would have a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction. Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the SPAC Rule Proposals would require a company to file a report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company for

101

Table of Contents

an initial business combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of the registration statement for its initial public offering. The company would then be required to complete its initial business combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of the registration statement for its initial public offering. Inflection Point understands that the SEC has recently been taking informal positions regarding the Investment Company Act consistent with the SPAC Rule Proposals.

There is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC, including a company like Inflection Point, that does not complete its initial business combination within the proposed time frame set forth in the proposed safe harbor rule. Inflection Point completed the IPO in September 2021 and has operated as a blank check company searching for a target business with which to consummate an initial business combination and working to negotiate and consummate the Business Combination since such time (or approximately 14 months after the effective date of the registration statement for the IPO, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus). If Inflection Point were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we might be forced to abandon our efforts to complete the Business Combination or any other initial business combination and instead be required to liquidate. If we are required to liquidatey, our investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning shares in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in the value of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares and Inflection Point Warrants following such a transaction, and the Inflection Point Warrants would expire worthless.

The funds in the Trust Account have, since the IPO, been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. As of September 30, 2022, amounts held in Trust Account included approximately $1,992,611 of accrued interest. To mitigate the risk of Inflection Point being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to the IPO, or September 21, 2023, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash (i.e., in one or more bank accounts) until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination, another initial business combination or Inflection Point’s liquidation. Following such liquidation of the assets in the Trust Account, Inflection Point will likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount the Public Shareholders would have otherwise received upon any redemption or liquidation of Inflection Point if the assets in the Trust Account had remained in U.S. government securities or money market funds. This means that the amount available for redemption will not increase after such liquidation.

In addition, even prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to the IPO, Inflection Point may be deemed to be an investment company. The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government securities or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, there is a greater risk that Inflection Point may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case it may be required to liquidate. Accordingly, Inflection Point may determine, in its discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account at any time, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash, which would further reduce the dollar amount the Public Shareholders would receive upon any redemption or our liquidation.

Inflection Point’s shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against Inflection Point to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

If Inflection Point is forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it were proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, Inflection Point was unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover some or all amounts received by Inflection Point’s shareholders. Furthermore, Inflection Point’s directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Inflection Point or its creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, thereby exposing themselves and Inflection Point to claims, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Inflection Point cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons. Inflection Point and its directors and officers who knowingly and willfully authorized or permitted any distribution to be paid out of Inflection Point’s share premium account while it was unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business would be guilty of an offence and may be liable to a fine of $18,293 and to imprisonment for five years in the Cayman Islands.

Since Inflection Point’s IPO Anchor Investors have an indirect beneficial interest in Founder Shares held by the Sponsor, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether Intuitive Machines is appropriate for Inflection Point’s initial business combination.

Inflection Point’s IPO Anchor Investors are also members of the Sponsor with an indirect beneficial interest in Founder Shares held by the Sponsor. These IPO Anchor Investors, through their interests in the Sponsor, will share in any appreciation of the Founder Shares, provided that Inflection Point successfully complete an initial business combination. Accordingly, Inflection Point’s IPO Anchor Investors’ interests in the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor may provide them with an incentive to vote any Public Shares they own in favor of the Business Combination, or another initial business combination, and make a substantial profit on such interests, even if the initial business combination is with a target that ultimately declines in value and is not profitable for other Public Shareholders.

Compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may make it more difficult for Inflection Point to effectuate its initial business combination, require substantial financial and management resources, and increase the time and costs of completing an initial business combination.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that Inflection Point evaluate and report on its system of internal controls beginning with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2022. Only in the event it is deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer, and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, will Inflection Point be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on its internal control over financial reporting. For as long as Inflection Point remains an emerging growth company, it will not be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on its internal control over financial reporting. The fact that Inflection Point is a blank check company makes compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome on it as compared to other public companies because a target business with which we seek to complete our initial business combination may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of its internal controls. The development of the internal control of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such initial business combination.

Inflection Point’s Letter Agreements with the Sponsor and Inflection Point’s officers and directors may be amended without shareholder approval.

Inflection Point’s Letter Agreements with the Sponsor and Inflection Point’s officers and directors contains provisions relating to transfer restrictions of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants, indemnification of the Trust Account, waiver of redemption rights and participation in liquidating distributions from the Trust Account. The Letter Agreements may be amended without shareholder approval. While Inflection Point does not expect the Inflection Point Board to approve any amendments to the Letter Agreements prior to Inflection Point’s initial business combination, it may be possible that the Inflection Point Board, in exercising its business judgment and subject to its fiduciary duties, chooses to approve one or more amendments to the Letter Agreements. Any such amendments to the Letter Agreements would not require approval from Inflection Point’s shareholders and may have an adverse effect on the value of an investment in Inflection Point’s securities. Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement with Intuitive Machines, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to vote its shares in favor of all proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. Amendment of the Sponsor Support Agreement would require approval from Intuitive Machines and the Sponsor, but would not require approval from Inflection Point’s shareholders.

You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances. Therefore, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your Public Shares or Public Warrants, potentially at a loss.

Our Public Shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earliest to occur of: (i) our completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those Public Shares that such shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein; (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by September 24, 2023 or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights

103

or pre-initial business combination activity; and (iii) the redemption of our Public Shares if we are unable to complete an initial business combination by September 24, 2023, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In no other circumstances will a Public Shareholders have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account. Holders of Warrants will not have any right to the proceeds held in the Trust Account with respect to the Warrants. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your Public Shares or Public Warrants, potentially at a loss.

The terms of the Inflection Point Warrants may be amended in a manner that may be adverse to holders with the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants.

The Inflection Point Warrants were issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and Inflection Point. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the Inflection Point Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of the Public Warrants. Accordingly, the terms of the Public Warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants approve of such amendment. Inflection Point or New Intuitive Machines may amend the terms of the Public Warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants to effect any change thereto, including to increase the exercise price of the warrants, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of Inflection Point or New Intuitive Machines purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

The Warrant Agreement designates the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of our Warrants, which could limit the ability of Warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes.

The Warrant Agreement provides that, subject to applicable law: (i) any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way to the Warrant Agreement, including under the Securities Act, will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York; and (ii) that we irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. We will waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, these provisions of the Warrant Agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States are the sole and exclusive forum. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of the Inflection Point Warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in the Warrant Agreement. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions of the Warrant Agreement, is filed in a court other than a court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “foreign action”) in the name of any holder of the Inflection Point Warrants, such holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”), and (y) having service of process made upon such warrant holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such warrant holder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such warrant holder. This choice-of-forum provision may limit a warrant holder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with our Company, which may discourage such lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of the Warrant Agreement inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of our management and board of directors.

A provision of the Warrant Agreement may make it more difficult for Inflection Point to consummate the Business Combination.

If: (i) Inflection Point issues additional Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of our initial business combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Inflection Point Board and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior

104

Table of Contents

to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds (including from such issuances and the IPO), and interest thereon, available for the funding of the Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination (net of redemptions) and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which Inflection Point consummates the Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the Inflection Point Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

Even if Inflection Point consummates the Business Combination, there is no guarantee that the Warrants will ever be in the money, and they may expire worthless.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Inflection Point Warrants will become New Intuitive Machines Warrants. The exercise price for the New Intuitive Machines Warrants will be $11.50 per share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, subject to adjustment. There is no guarantee that the New Intuitive Machines Warrants, following the Business Combination, will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the New Intuitive Machines Warrants may expire worthless.

Your unexpired New Intuitive Machines Warrants may be redeemed prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your Warrants worthless.

Outstanding New Intuitive Machines Warrants may be redeemed at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per New Intuitive Machines Warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date New Intuitive Machines sends the notice of redemption to the New Intuitive Machines Warrant holders. If and when the warrants become redeemable by New Intuitive Machines, New Intuitive Machines may not exercise its redemption rights if the issuance of share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or New Intuitive Machines is unable to effect such registration or qualification, subject to New Intuitive Machines’ obligation in such case to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock under the blue sky laws of the state of residence in those states in which the Inflection Point Warrants were initially offered by Inflection Point in its IPO. redemption of the outstanding New Intuitive Machines’ Warrants could force you (a) to exercise your New Intuitive Machines Warrants and pay the exercise price at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (b) to sell your New Intuitive Machines Warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your New Intuitive Machines Warrants or (c) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding New Intuitive Machines Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your New Intuitive Machines Warrants.

The warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock.

Inflection Point issued 16,487,500 Public Warrants to purchase 16,487,500 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares as part of the Inflection Point Units offered in the IPO, in connection with the closing of the IPO, Inflection Point issued in private placements an aggregate of 6,845,000 Private Placement Warrants, at $1.00 per warrant. In addition, the Sponsor may convert any working capital loans made to Inflection Point into up to an additional 1,500,000 warrants, which would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, at the price of $1.00 per warrant. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor has loaned $1,000,000 to Inflection Point. Upon the Domestication, the New Intuitive Machines Warrants will entitle the holders to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock. Such New Intuitive Machines Warrants and the Preferred Investor Warrants, when exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding shares and may reduce the market price of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock. Further, as part of the Series A Investment, New Intuitive Machines will issue to the Series A Investors Preferred Investor Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 541,667 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $15.00 per share, subject to adjustment.

You may only be able to exercise your Public Warrants on a “cashless basis” under certain circumstances, and if you do so, you will receive fewer shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock from such exercise than if you were to exercise such Public Warrants for cash.

The Warrant Agreement provides that in the following circumstances holders of Public Warrants who seek to exercise their Public Warrants will not be permitted to do for cash and will, instead, be required to do so on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act: (i) if the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants are not registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement; (ii) if New Intuitive Machines has so elected and the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock are at the time of any exercise of a Public Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of “covered securities” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act; and (iii) if we have so elected and we call the Public Warrants for redemption.

If you exercise your Public Warrants on a cashless basis, you would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering the Public Warrants for that number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock underlying the Public Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock (as defined in the next sentence) over the exercise price of the Public Warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” is the average reported closing price of the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Public Warrants, as applicable. As a result, you would receive fewer shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock from such exercise than if you were to exercise such Public Warrants for cash.

Risks Related to the Adjournment Proposal

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and a quorum is present but an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Inflection Point Board will not have the ability to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date in circumstances where such adjournment is necessary to permit the Business Combination to be approved.

If, at the extraordinary general meeting, the Inflection Point Board determines that it would be in the best interests of Inflection Point to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to give Inflection Point more time to consummate the Business Combination for whatever reason (such as if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, or if Inflection Point would have net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon the consummation of the Business Combination, or if additional time is needed to fulfill other closing conditions), the Inflection Point Board will seek approval to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and a quorum is present but an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Inflection Point Board will not have the ability to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes or take other steps to cause the conditions to the Business Combination to be satisfied. In such event, the Business Combination would not be completed.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

Inflection Point shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting if they owned Inflection Point Ordinary Shares at the close of business on January 10, 2023, which is the “Record Date” for the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders will have one vote for each Inflection Point Ordinary Share owned at the close of business on the Record Date on each Shareholder Proposal on which such Inflection Point Ordinary Share is entitled to vote. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. Inflection Point Warrants do not have voting rights. As of the close of business on the Record Date for the extraordinary general meeting, there were 41,218,750 Inflection Point Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, of which 32,975,000 were issued and outstanding Public Shares.

The Sponsor and each director and each officer of Inflection Point have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Business Combination, and to waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any Inflection Point Ordinary Shares held by them. None of our Sponsor, directors or officers received separate consideration for their waiver of redemption rights. The Founder Shares held by the Sponsor will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share Redemption Price. As of the Record Date, the Sponsor owns 20% of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares. In addition, although it is not required to do so, Kingstown 1740, an affiliate of the Sponsor, has advised us that it intends to vote all Public Shares it holds in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the Record Date, the Sponsor and Kingstown 1740 own approximately 27% of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

Quorum

A quorum of Inflection Point shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person or by proxy. As of the Record Date for the extraordinary general meeting, 20,609,376 Inflection Point Ordinary Shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Proxies that are marked “abstain” and proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to Inflection Point but marked by brokers as “not voted” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters, but they will not be treated as shares voted on the matter. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. Inflection Point believes all the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Business Combination Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if the other Condition Precedent Proposals are not approved, the Business Combination Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will have no right to vote on the Domestication Proposal. The Domestication Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if the other Condition Precedent Proposals are not approved, the Domestication Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

The approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Stock Issuance Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if the other Condition Precedent Proposals are not approved, the Stock Issuance Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

The approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Organizational Documents Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if the other Condition Precedent Proposals are not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

The separate approval of each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires a special resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals are not conditioned upon any other proposal.

The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if the other Condition Precedent Proposals are not approved, the Incentive Plan Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Director Election Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if the other Condition Precedent Proposals are not approved, the Director Election Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon any other proposal.

Voting Your Shares

Each Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share and each Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on each Shareholder Proposal on which such Inflection Point Ordinary Share is entitled to vote. Your proxy card shows the number of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares that you own.

If you are a record owner of your shares, there are two ways to vote your Inflection Point Ordinary Shares at the extraordinary general meeting:

You Can Vote By Signing and Returning the Enclosed Proxy Card.    If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Inflection Point Board “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of each of the separate Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Director Election Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the extraordinary general meeting will not be counted.

You Can Attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and Vote During the Meeting.

        You can attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote in person even if you have previously voted by submitting a proxy pursuant to any of the methods noted above.

        If your shares are registered in your name with Continental and you wish to attend the extraordinary general meeting virtually, go to https://www.cstproxy.com/inflectionpointacquisition/2023, enter the 12-digit control number included on your proxy card or notice of the extraordinary general meeting and click on the “Click here to preregister for the online meeting” link at the top of the page. Just prior to the start of the extraordinary general meeting you will need to log back into the extraordinary general meeting site using your control number. Pre-registration is recommended but is not required in order to attend.

        Beneficial shareholders (those holding shares through a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record) who wish to attend the extraordinary general meeting must obtain a legal proxy by contacting their account representative at the bank, broker, or other nominee that holds their shares and e-mail a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of their legal proxy to proxy@continentalstock.com. Beneficial shareholders who e-mail a valid legal proxy will be issued a 12-digit meeting control number that will allow them to register to attend and participate in the extraordinary general meeting. After contacting Continental, a beneficial holder will receive an e-mail prior to the extraordinary general meeting with a link and instructions for entering the extraordinary general meeting. Beneficial shareholders should contact Continental at least five (5) business days prior to the extraordinary general meeting date in order to ensure access.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. If you wish to attend the meeting and vote in person or online and your shares are held in “street name,” you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee. That is the only way Inflection Point can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are an Inflection Point shareholder and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

        sending another proxy card with a later date;

        notifying Michael Blitzer and Guy Shanon, Co-Chief Executive Officers of Inflection Point, in writing before the extraordinary general meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

        attending the extraordinary general meeting in person or virtually, revoking your proxy, and voting as described above.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker for information on how to change or revoke your voting instructions.

Who Can Answer Your Questions about Voting Your Shares

If you are a shareholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your Inflection Point Ordinary Shares, you may call Morrow Sodali, our proxy solicitor, by calling (800) 662-5200, or banks and brokers can call collect at (203) 658-9400, or by emailing IPAX.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a Public Shareholder may request to redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(a)     (i) hold Public Shares or (ii) hold Public Shares through Inflection Point Units and elect to separate your Inflection Point Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares;

110

Table of Contents

(b)    submit a written request to Continental, including the legal name, phone number and address of the beneficial owner of the Public Shares for which redemption is requested, that Inflection Point redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash; and

(c)     deliver the certificates for your Public Shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to Continental, physically or electronically through DTC.

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Public Shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 6, 2023 (two business days before the scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their Public Shares to be redeemed.

Therefore, the election to exercise redemption rights occurs prior to the Domestication. For the purposes of the Cayman Constitutional Documents, the exercise of redemption rights will be treated as an election to have such Public Shares redeemed for cash and references in this proxy statement/prospectus to “redemption” or “redeeming” will be interpreted accordingly.

Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares held by them, regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a Public Shareholder properly exercises its redemption rights to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers the certificates for its shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to Continental, Inflection Point will redeem such Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of September 30, 2022, this would have amounted to approximately $10.06 per issued and outstanding Public Share. If a Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own Public Shares.

If you hold the shares in “street name,” you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through DTC’s DWAC (deposit withdrawal at custodian) system. Continental will typically charge the tendering broker $100 and it would be up to the broker to decide whether to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their Public Shares.

Any request for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with Inflection Point’s consent, until the Domestication. Furthermore, if a holder of a Public Share delivers its share certificates (if any) along with the redemption forms in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that Inflection Point permit the withdrawal of the redemption request and instruct Continental to return the certificate (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting Continental at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by Continental prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. No request for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s Public Shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to Continental at least two business days prior to the scheduled date of the vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a Public Shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Business Combination and waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any Inflection Point Ordinary Shares held by them. None of our Sponsor, directors or officers received separate consideration for their waiver of redemption rights. The Founder Shares held by our Sponsor, officers and directors will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share Redemption Price. As of the Record Date, the Sponsor owns 20% of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares. In addition, although it is not required to do so, Kingstown 1740 has advised us that it intends to vote all Public Shares it holds in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the Record Date, the Sponsor and Kingstown 1740 collectively own approximately 27% of the issued and outstanding Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

Holders of the Inflection Point Warrants will not have redemption rights with respect to the Inflection Point Warrants.

The closing price of Public Shares on January 19, 2023, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, was $10.09. As of September 30, 2022, funds in the Trust Account totaled $331,742,611 and were comprised entirely of U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or of money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, or approximately $10.06 per issued and outstanding Public Share.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, Public Shareholders should verify the market price of the Public Shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Public Shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the Redemption Price. Inflection Point cannot assure its shareholders that they will be able to sell their Public Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the Redemption Price, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its shareholders wish to sell their Public Shares.

Appraisal Rights

Neither Inflection Point’s shareholders nor the holders of Public Warrants have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under Cayman Islands law or under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation

Inflection Point is soliciting proxies on behalf of the Inflection Point Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. Inflection Point and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. Inflection Point will file with the SEC all scripts and other electronic communications as proxy soliciting materials. Inflection Point will bear the cost of the solicitation.

Inflection Point has engaged Morrow Sodali to assist in the solicitation process and will pay Morrow Sodali a fee of $40,000, plus disbursements.

Inflection Point will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. Inflection Point will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

Inflection Point Shareholders

As of the Record Date, there are 41,218,750 Inflection Point Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, which includes the 8,243,750 Founder Shares held by the Sponsor and the 32,975,000 Public Shares (including 2,900,000 Public Shares held by Kingstown 1740, an affiliate of the Sponsor). As of the Record Date, there is outstanding an aggregate of 26,150,000 Inflection Point Warrants, which includes the 6,845,000 Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor and the 16,487,500 Public Warrants.

Potential Purchases of Public Shares

At any time prior to the extraordinary general meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material non-public information regarding Inflection Point, Intuitive Machines, or its or their securities, our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase Public Shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market from shareholders who redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, their Public Shares, or they may enter

112

Table of Contents

into transactions with such persons and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares. Any Public Shares purchased by the Sponsor or its affiliates would be purchased at a price no higher than the Redemption Price for the Public Shares. For illustrative purposes, as of September 30, 2022, this would have amounted to approximately $10.06 per Public Share. Any Public Shares so purchased would not be voted by the Sponsor or its affiliates at the extraordinary general meeting and would not be redeemable by the Sponsor or its affiliates.

The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to decrease the number of redemptions. While the nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or warrants owned by the Sponsor for nominal value.

However, other than as expressly stated in this proxy statement/prospectus, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Public Shares in such transactions.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than the market price and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he owns, either prior to or immediately after the extraordinary general meeting. In addition, the public “float” of our Public Shares and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

Business Combination Agreement

This subsection of the proxy statement/prospectus describes the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. You are urged to read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination.

The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties thereto made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement and/or other specific dates. The assertions and obligations embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties thereto in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in part by the underlying disclosure schedules (the “Disclosure Schedules”), which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Additionally, the representations and warranties of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement may or may not have been accurate as of any specific date and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, no person should rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement or the summaries thereof in this proxy statement/prospectus as characterizations of the actual state of facts about Inflection Point, Intuitive Machines, or any other matter.

Structure of the Business Combination

On September 16, 2022, Inflection Point entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Intuitive Machines, pursuant to which, among other things, following the Domestication, (a) New Intuitive Machines will acquire equity securities and become the managing member of Intuitive Machines OpCo and (b) New Intuitive Machines will issue voting equity securities without economic rights to the Intuitive Machines Members, resulting in a combined company organized in an Up-C structure, in which substantially all of the assets and the business of the combined company will be held by Intuitive Machines OpCo.

Prior to and as a condition of the Closing, pursuant to the Domestication, Inflection Point will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by migrating to and domesticating as a Delaware corporation in accordance with the DGCL and the Companies Act.

Business Combination Consideration

As a result of the Up-C structure, the Business Combination Consideration to be received by Intuitive Machines Members will consist of securities of both Intuitive Machines OpCo having economic rights and New Intuitive Machines having voting rights but not economic rights, equal to a value of approximately $700,000,000 (excluding the value of the Earn Out Units). In particular, the Business Combination Consideration to be received by the Intuitive Machines Members will be an aggregate of (a) (i) 68,125,987 Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units, (ii) 1,874,013 Intuitive Machines OpCo Options and (iii) up to 10,000,000 Earn Out Units and (b) (i) 278 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock (excluding 1,874,013 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of Intuitive Machines OpCo Options) and (ii) 68,125,709 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock (excluding 10,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock reserved for issuance upon vesting of the Earn Out Units).

Immediately prior to the Closing, Intuitive Machines will effectuate the Recapitalization whereby all outstanding equity securities of Intuitive Machines will be converted or exchanged into Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units, Intuitive Machines OpCo Options and Earn Out Units. As part of the Recapitalization, each outstanding option of Intuitive Machines, whether vested or unvested, will become an Intuitive Machine OpCo Option with substantially the same terms and conditions as applicable to such option immediately prior to the Recapitalization (including expiration date, vesting conditions and exercise provisions), except that each such Intuitive Machines OpCo Option shall be exercisable for Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units.

With respect to Triggering Event I, the Earn-Out Period is the time period beginning on September 16, 2022 and ending at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on December 31, 2023. With respect to Triggering Event II-A, Triggering Event II-B and Triggering Event III, the Earn-Out Period is the time period beginning on the date that is 150 days following the Closing Date and ending on the date that is the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date. If a Change of Control (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) occurs during the Earn Out Period that results in the holders of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock receiving a per share price greater than or equal to $15.00 or $17.50, respectively, then immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, to the extent not previously triggered, Triggering Event II-A, Triggering Event II-B and/or Triggering Event III will be deemed to have occurred, as applicable, and the Earn Out Units shall vest. Upon the vesting of any Earn Out Units, each applicable Intuitive Machines Member will be issued an equal number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, in exchange for the payment to New Intuitive Machines of adequate consideration (in each case, not to exceed a per-share price equal to the par value per share of such New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock).

Business Combination for a period of six years after the Closing.

Tax Receivable Agreement

As a result of the post-Business Combination organizational structure, New Intuitive Machines expects to obtain (i) in connection with the Business Combination, existing tax basis in certain assets of Intuitive Machines OpCo and certain of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, including assets that will eventually be subject to depreciation or amortization, once placed in service (the “Existing Basis”), (ii) tax basis adjustments, including an increase in New Intuitive Machines’ allocable share of existing tax basis, resulting from (a) any future redemptions or exchanges of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units from the Intuitive Machines Members as described under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Amended and Restated Operating Agreement — Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units redemption right” (such basis increase, the “Basis Adjustments”), (b) certain distributions (or deemed distributions) by Intuitive Machines OpCo, and (c) payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement and (iii) deductions attributable to imputed interest and other payments of interest pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement (such deductions, the “Interest Deductions”). The parties intend to treat each redemption or exchange of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units in Intuitive Machines OpCo pursuant to the Second A&R Operating Agreement as New Intuitive Machines’ direct purchase of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units in Intuitive Machines OpCo from an Intuitive Machines Member for U.S. federal income and other applicable tax purposes, regardless of whether such Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units in Intuitive Machines OpCo are surrendered by an Intuitive Machines Member to Intuitive Machines OpCo for redemption, or, to the extent there is cash available from a contemporaneous public offering or private sale of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock by New Intuitive Machines and New Intuitive Machines so authorizes, sold directly to New Intuitive Machines. Any Existing Basis, Basis Adjustments and Interest Deductions may have the effect of reducing the amount of taxes that New Intuitive Machines would otherwise pay in the future to various tax authorities. The Existing Basis, Basis Adjustments and Interest Deductions may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those assets.

In connection with the Business Combination, New Intuitive Machines will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement with Intuitive Machines OpCo and the TRA Holders. The Tax Receivable Agreement will provide for the payment by New Intuitive Machines to the TRA Holders of 85% of the amount of cash tax savings, if any, that New Intuitive Machines actually realizes, or in some circumstances is deemed to realize, as a result of the Existing Basis, Basis Adjustments and Interest Deductions, including those resulting from payments pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement. Intuitive Machines OpCo and its applicable subsidiaries will have an election under Section 754 of the Code in effect for each taxable year in which a redemption or exchange of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units in Intuitive Machines OpCo for shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock or cash occurs. Assuming no material changes in the relevant tax law and that New Intuitive Machines earns sufficient taxable income to realize all tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, it is expected that the tax savings associated with the (i) Existing Basis, (ii) Basis Adjustments, and (iii) Interest Deductions would aggregate to approximately $170.4 million over 20 years from the date of the Business Combination based on a trading price of $10.00 per share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, and assuming all future redemptions or exchanges would occur one year after the Business Combination at the same assumed price per share. Under such scenario, assuming future payments are made on the due date (with extension) of each relevant U.S. federal income tax return, New Intuitive Machines would be required to pay approximately 87% of such amount, or approximately $148.2 million, over the 20-year period from the date of the Business Combination and New Intuitive Machines would benefit from the remaining 13% of the tax benefits. These Tax Receivable Agreement payments are not conditioned upon any continued ownership interest in either Intuitive Machines OpCo or New Intuitive Machines by any TRA Holder. The rights of each TRA Holder under the Tax Receivable Agreement are assignable regardless of whether the underlying Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units are also assigned. In general, the TRA Holders’ rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement may not be assigned, sold, pledged or otherwise alienated to any person, other than certain permitted transferees, without such person becoming a party to the Tax Receivable Agreement and agreeing to succeed to the applicable TRA Holders’ interest therein.

132

Table of Contents

The actual Existing Basis, Basis Adjustments and Interest Deductions, as well as any amounts paid to the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending on a number of factors, including:

        the price of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at the time of redemptions or exchanges — the Basis Adjustments, as well as any related increase in any tax deductions, are directly related to the price of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at the time of each redemption or exchange;

        the timing of any subsequent redemptions or exchanges — for instance, the increase in any tax deductions will vary depending on the fair value, which may fluctuate over time, of the depreciable or amortizable assets of Intuitive Machines OpCo and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries at the time of each redemption, exchange or distribution (or deemed distribution) as well as the amount of remaining existing tax basis at the time of such redemption, exchange or distribution (or deemed distribution);

        the extent to which such redemptions or exchanges are taxable — if a redemption or exchange is not taxable for any reason, certain of the increased tax deductions will not be available;

        the extent to which such Basis Adjustments are immediately deductible — New Intuitive Machines may be permitted to immediately expense a portion of the Basis Adjustments attributable to a redemption or exchange, which could significantly accelerate the timing of New Intuitive Machines’ realization of the associated tax benefits. Under the Second A&R Operating Agreement, the determination of whether to immediately expense such Basis Adjustments will be made in New Intuitive Machines’ sole discretion; and

        the amount and timing of New Intuitive Machines income — the Tax Receivable Agreement generally will require New Intuitive Machines to pay 85% of the amount of cash tax savings as and when such cash tax savings are treated as realized under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement. If New Intuitive Machines does not have sufficient taxable income to realize any of the applicable tax benefits, New Intuitive Machines generally will not be required (absent a change of control or other circumstances requiring an early termination payment) to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for that taxable year because no tax benefits will have been actually realized. However, any tax benefits that do not result in realized tax benefits in a given taxable year may generate tax attributes that may be used to generate tax benefits in previous or future taxable years. The use of any such tax attributes will result in payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, cash savings in income taxes will be computed by comparing New Intuitive Machines’ actual income tax liability to the amount of such taxes that New Intuitive Machines would have been required to pay had there been no Existing Basis, Basis Adjustments and Interest Deductions; provided that, for purposes of determining cash savings with respect to state and local income taxes an assumed tax rate will be used. The Tax Receivable Agreement will generally apply to each of New Intuitive Machines’ taxable years, beginning with the first taxable year ending after the completion of the Business Combination. There is no maximum term for the Tax Receivable Agreement, although, as discussed further below, the Tax Receivable Agreement may be terminated by New Intuitive Machines pursuant to an early termination procedure or upon the occurrence of certain events, in each case, that requires New Intuitive Machines to pay the TRA Holders an agreed upon amount equal to the estimated present value of the remaining payments to be made under the agreement (calculated based on certain assumptions, including regarding tax rates and use of the Basis Adjustments and Interest Deductions).

The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are obligations of New Intuitive Machines and not Intuitive Machines OpCo. Although the actual timing and amount of any payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement will vary, it is expected that the payments that New Intuitive Machines may be required to make to the TRA Holders could be substantial. Any payments made by New Intuitive Machines to the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to New Intuitive Machines and, to the extent that New Intuitive Machines is unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, the unpaid amounts generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid by New Intuitive Machines; provided, however, that nonpayment for a specified period may constitute a material breach of a material obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement and, therefore, may accelerate payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which could be substantial. New Intuitive Machines anticipates funding

133

Table of Contents

ordinary course payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement from cash flow from operations of its subsidiaries, available cash or available borrowings under the Credit Mobilization Credit Facility (as defined below) or any future debt agreements.

Decisions made by New Intuitive Machines in the course of running its business, such as with respect to mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes in control, may influence the timing and amount of payments that New Intuitive Machines is required to make to a TRA Holder under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For example, the earlier disposition of assets following an exchange or acquisition transaction will generally accelerate payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and increase the present value of such payments.

The Tax Receivable Agreement provides that if (i) New Intuitive Machines materially breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combination, or other changes of control were to occur after the consummation of the Transactions, or (iii) New Intuitive Machines elects an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, then its obligations, or its successor’s obligations, under the Tax Receivable Agreement would accelerate and become due and payable, based on certain assumptions, including an assumption that New Intuitive Machines would have sufficient taxable income to fully use all potential future tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. In those circumstances, TRA Holders would be deemed to exchange any remaining outstanding Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units for New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and the TRA Holders generally would be entitled to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from such deemed exchanges. New Intuitive Machines may elect to completely terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early only with the written approval of each of a majority of New Intuitive Machines’ “independent directors” (within the meaning of the rules of the Nasdaq). The amount due and payable in those circumstances is based on the present value (at a discount rate of SOFR plus 100 basis points) of projected future tax benefits that are based on certain assumptions, including an assumption that New Intuitive Machines would have sufficient taxable income to fully use all potential future tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. Based on such assumptions, if New Intuitive Machines were to exercise its termination right, or the Tax Receivable Agreement is otherwise terminated, immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, the aggregate amount of the termination payments would be approximately $100.4 million.

As a result of the foregoing, New Intuitive Machines could be required to make an immediate cash payment, possibly significantly in advance of the actual realization, if any, of such future cash tax savings. New Intuitive Machines also could be required to make cash payments to the TRA Holders that are greater than 85% of the actual benefits New Intuitive Machines ultimately realizes in respect of the tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. In these situations, New Intuitive Machines’ obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement could have a substantial negative impact on its liquidity and could have the effect of deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combination, or other changes of control. There can be no assurance that New Intuitive Machines will be able to finance New Intuitive Machines’ obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be based on the tax reporting positions that New Intuitive Machines determines, which are complex and factual in nature, and the IRS or another taxing authority may challenge all or any part of the Basis Adjustments, as well as other tax positions that we take, and a court may sustain such a challenge. New Intuitive Machines will not be reimbursed for any cash payments previously made to the TRA Holders pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement if any tax benefits initially claimed by New Intuitive Machines are subsequently challenged by a taxing authority and ultimately disallowed. Instead, any excess cash payments made by New Intuitive Machines to a TRA Holder will be netted against future cash payments, if any, New Intuitive Machines might otherwise be required to make under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement to such TRA Holders. However, a challenge to any tax benefits initially claimed by New Intuitive Machines may not arise for a number of years following the initial time of such payment or, even if challenged early, such excess cash payment may be greater than the amount of future cash payments, if any, New Intuitive Machines might otherwise be required to make under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement and, as a result, there might not be future cash payments from which to net against. As a result, it is possible that New Intuitive Machines could make cash payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that are substantially greater than 85% of its actual cash tax savings.

New Intuitive Machines will have full responsibility for, and sole discretion over, all New Intuitive Machines’ and Intuitive Machines OpCo’s tax matters, including the filing and amendment of all tax returns and claims for refund and defense of all tax contests, subject to certain participation and approval rights held by certain TRA Holders. If the outcome of any challenge to all or part of the Existing Basis, Basis Adjustments, Interest Deductions or other tax benefits New Intuitive Machines claims would reasonably be expected to materially affect a TRA Holder’s rights and

134

Table of Contents

obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, then New Intuitive Machines will not be permitted to settle such challenge without the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of certain TRA Holders. The interests of such TRA Holders in any such challenge may differ from or conflict with New Intuitive Machines’ and its investors’ interests, and such TRA Holders may exercise their consent rights relating to any such challenge in a manner adverse to New Intuitive Machines’ and its investors’ interests.

Under the Tax Receivable Agreement, New Intuitive Machines is required to provide each TRA Holder that holds an interest in the Tax Receivable Agreement and to which a tax benefit or detriment is attributable with a schedule showing the calculation of payments that are due under the Tax Receivable Agreement with respect to each taxable year with respect to which a payment obligation to such holder arises within 150 days after filing New Intuitive Machines’ U.S. federal income tax return for such taxable year. This calculation will be based upon the advice of New Intuitive Machines’ tax advisors. Payments are generally due under the Tax Receivable Agreement within a specified period of time following the filing of New Intuitive Machines’ tax return for the taxable year with respect to which the payment obligation arises, although interest on such payments will begin to accrue at a rate of a SOFR plus 100 basis points from the due date (without extensions) of such tax return. Some late payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue to accrue interest at a rate of SOFR plus 500 basis points until such payments are made, including any late payments that New Intuitive Machines may subsequently make because it did not have enough available cash to satisfy its payment obligations at the time at which they originally arose.

Lock-Up Agreements

Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement

At the Closing, the Sponsor and New Intuitive Machines will enter into the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor and its permitted assigns will agree not to, without the prior written consent of the New Intuitive Machines Board, prior to the date that is six months after the Closing Date, (i) sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of (a) any shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock the Sponsor received upon conversion of Sponsor Lock-Up Shares, (ii) enter into any swap or other transfer arrangement in respect of the Sponsor Lock-Up Shares or (iii) take any other similar actions (the actions specified in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), collectively, “Transfer”). The Sponsor also will agree to not Transfer any New Intuitive Machines Warrants received upon conversion of its Private Placement Warrants in connection with the Domestication (or the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants), prior to the date that is 30 days after the Closing Date. The Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement provides for certain permitted transfers, including but not limited to, transfers to certain affiliates or family members, transfers of shares acquired on the open market after the consummation of the Business Combination, subject to certain conditions, or the exercise of certain stock options and warrants.

Intuitive Machines Lock-Up Agreement

At the Closing, New Intuitive Machines and the Lock-Up Holders will enter into the Intuitive Machines Lock-Up Agreement, pursuant to which the Lock-Up Holders will agree not to, without the prior written consent of the New Intuitive Machines Board, prior to the date that is six months after the Closing, Transfer the Lock-Up Shares. The Intuitive Machines Lock-Up Agreement provides for certain permitted transfers, including but not limited to, transfers to certain affiliates or family members, transfers of shares acquired on the open market after the consummation of the Business Combination, subject to certain conditions, or the exercise of certain stock options and warrants.

Non-Redemption Agreement

Kingstown 1740 has entered into two separate, but overlapping agreements waiving certain redemption rights with respect to shares of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares underlying Inflection Point Units purchased by Kingstown 1740 in the IPO.

In connection with the IPO, Kingstown 1740 entered into the IPO Redemption Waiver with Inflection Point dated September 21, 2021. The IPO Redemption Waiver provides that, only for so long as necessary in order for Inflection Point to have shareholders’ equity of at least $5,000,001, Kingstown 1740 has waived its rights to redeem the 1,386,989 IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares in connection with an IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Event ((a) the consummation of an initial business combination, and (b) in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares that are not IPO Redemption

135

Table of Contents

Waiver Covered Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by September 24, 2023 (or such later date if Inflection Point submits and its shareholders approve an extension of such date) or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity or in the context of a tender offer made by Inflection Point to purchase Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares). However, if, at the time of an IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Event, it is not necessary for Kingstown 1740 to waive redemption rights with respect to any or all of the IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares in order for Inflection Point to have shareholders’ equity of $5,000,001, the IPO Redemption Waiver automatically and without further action by Inflection Point or Kingstown 1740, terminates and is of no further force and effect with respect to such IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares in connection with such IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Event. No consideration was provided to Kingstown 1740 in exchange for the IPO Redemption Waiver.

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines entered into the Non-Redemption Agreement with Kingstown 1740, pursuant to which Kingstown agreed not to redeem any of the 2,900,000 Business Combination Non-Redemption Covered Shares (Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares the underlying the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Units purchased by it in the IPO). The Business Combination Non-Redemption Covered Shares include the 1,386,989 IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares, as well as the other 1,513,011 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Units purchased by Kingstown 1740 in the IPO. In contrast to the IPO Redemption Waiver, which only applies to the IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Events, and only if and to the extent necessary in order for Inflection Point to have shareholders’ equity of $5,000,001, the Non-Redemption Agreement is a general waiver of Kingstown 1740’s redemption rights with respect to the Business Combination Non-Redemption Shares. The Non-Redemption Agreement prohibits Kingstown 1740 from exercising redemption rights with respect to the Business Combination Non-Redemption Covered Shares in connection with the Business Combination or otherwise unless and until the Non-Redemption Agreement Terminates. The Non-Redemption Agreement will terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the Closing of the Business Combination and (c) the mutual consent of Inflection Point, Intuitive Machines and Kingstown 1740. No consideration was provided to Kingstown 1740 in exchange for entering the Non-Redemption Agreement.

Stock Escrow & Earn Out Agreement

In connection with the Sponsor Support Agreement, if immediately prior to the Closing, (i) the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(f) (No Redemption by Kingstown 1740) and Section 7.02(g) (Kingstown 1740 Series A Investment) of the Business Combination Agreement are not satisfied and (ii) the deferred underwriting commission paid to the underwriters of Inflection Point’s IPO at the Closing is greater than $5,770,625, then the Sponsor will deposit the 500,000 Sponsor Earn Out Shares into escrow in accordance with the terms of the Sponsor Support Agreement and pursuant to the Escrow and Earn Out Agreement.

Pursuant to the Escrow and Earn Out Agreement, the Sponsor Earn Out Shares will vest and New Intuitive Machines will instruct the Escrow Agent to release the Sponsor Earn Out Shares if during the Sponsor Earn Out Period (the time period beginning on the date that is one hundred fifty (150) days following the Closing Date and ending on the date that is the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date (inclusive of the first and last day of such period)), (i) the Sponsor Earn Out Trigger occurs (the volume weighted average closing sale price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share) or (ii) prior to the occurrence of the Sponsor Earn Out Trigger, there is a Change of Control that will result in the holders of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock receiving a per share price (based on the value of the cash, securities or in-kind consideration being delivered in respect of such New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, as determined in good faith by the New Intuitive Machines Board) equal to or in excess of $15.00 (adjusted as appropriate to reflect any stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into shares New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock), extraordinary cash dividend (which adjustment shall be determined by Inflection Point, in its sole discretion), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock occurring on or after the Closing).

Series A Purchase Agreement and Preferred Investor Warrants

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, Inflection Point entered into the Series A Purchase Agreement with the Series A Investors. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Series A Investors have agreed to purchase an aggregate of $26.0 million of Series A Preferred Stock and Preferred

The Series A Investment will be consummated following the Domestication but immediately prior to the Closing.

The Securities Purchase Agreement includes customary representations and warranties from Inflection Point, Intuitive Machines and the Series A Investors and customary closing conditions. The Series A Purchase Agreement also includes customary covenants and agreements related to transfer restrictions, SEC reports, material non-public information and indemnification, as well as a most favored nation clause in favor of the Series A Investors. In addition, the Series A Investors are deemed beneficiaries of Intuitive Machines’ covenants under the Business Combination Agreement until the Closing. The shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock and the Preferred Investor Warrants will be “Registrable Securities” under the A&R Registration Rights Agreement.

Dividends:    The Series A Preferred Stock pays dividends, semi-annually at the rate of 10% of the original price per share, plus the amount of previously accrued, but unpaid dividends, compounded semi-annually, and participates with the New Intuitive Machines Common Stock on all other dividends. Accrued dividends may be paid (i) in cash, (ii) subject to satisfaction of certain equity conditions, in shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock or (iii) accumulated, compounded and added to the liquidation preference described below.

Liquidation Preference:    Upon any liquidation or deemed liquidation event, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive out of the available proceeds, before any distribution is made to holders of common stock or any other junior securities, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the Accrued Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A Preferred Stock been converted into New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation event.

Voting:    The Series A Preferred Stock votes together with the New Intuitive Machines Common Stock on an as-converted basis, except as required by law and (ii) as noted below under “Protective Provisions.” Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter.

Protective Provisions:    For as long as 25% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued as of the Closing are outstanding, New Intuitive Machines shall not, without the affirmative vote or action by written consent of holders of more than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Requisite Holders”), take any of the following actions: (i) liquidate, dissolve or wind up the affairs of New Intuitive Machines; (ii) amend, alter, or repeal any provision of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or any similar document of New Intuitive Machines in a manner adverse to the Series A Preferred Stock; (iii) create or authorize the creation of or issue any other security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security unless such security ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to its rights, preferences and privileges, or increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; provided, that New Intuitive Machines shall be permitted to issue up to $50.0 million in equity securities without the consent of the Requisite Holders; (iv) purchase or redeem or pay any cash dividend on any capital stock prior to the Series A Preferred Stock, other than stock repurchased at cost from former employees and consultants in connection with the cessation of their service; or (v) incur or guarantee any indebtedness, if the aggregate indebtedness of New Intuitive Machines and its subsidiaries for borrowed money following such action would exceed $100,000,000; provided, however, that the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be considered indebtedness for purposes of this calculation (irrespective of the accounting treatment that the Series A Preferred Stock receives under New Intuitive Machines’ financial statements).

Conversion:    Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible at the holder’s option into shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at an initial conversion ratio determined by dividing the Accrued Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock by the conversion price of $12.00 per share subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation.

Cantor Share Purchase Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Inflection Point entered into the Cantor Purchase Agreement with CFPI relating to the Equity Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the Cantor Purchase Agreement, New Intuitive Machines will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its sole discretion, until the first day of the month following the 18-month period from and after the initial satisfaction of the conditions to CFPI’s obligation to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement (the “Commencement”), to direct CFPI to purchase up to the lesser of (i) $50 million of newly issued New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and (ii) the Exchange Cap (as defined below), by delivering written notice to CFPI prior to the Commencement of trading on any trading day, subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement.

The purchase price of the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock that New Intuitive Machines elects to sell to CFPI pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement will be 97.5% of the volume weighted average price of the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock during the applicable purchase date on which New Intuitive Machines has timely delivered written notice to CFPI directing it to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock under the Cantor Purchase Agreement.

Sales of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock to CFPI under the Cantor Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, will be determined by New Intuitive Machines from time to time in its sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and determinations by New Intuitive Machines regarding the use of proceeds of such sales. The net proceeds from any sales under the Cantor Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency with, and prices at, which the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock are sold to CFPI. New Intuitive Machines expects to use the proceeds from any sales under the Cantor Purchase Agreement for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Under the applicable rules of Nasdaq, in no event may New Intuitive Machines issue to CFPI under the Cantor Purchase Agreement more than 19.99% of the voting power or number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock outstanding, calculated in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules (the “Exchange Cap”), unless (i) New Intuitive Machines obtains stockholder approval to issue shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules, or (ii) the average purchase price per share for all of the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock sold to CFPI under the Cantor Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds the lower of (a) the Nasdaq official closing price for the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares on the date of the Cantor Purchase Agreement and (b) the arithmetic average of the five Nasdaq official closing prices for the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock during the five-trading day period ending on (and including) the date of the Cantor Purchase Agreement, as adjusted pursuant to applicable Nasdaq rules.

To induce CFPI to enter into the Cantor Purchase Agreement, Inflection Point agreed that, after the Closing Date, New Intuitive Machines will deliver to CFPI a number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) $1,000,000 and (ii) the closing price of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock on an agreed date (the “Commitment Shares”). Subject to limited exceptions described below, the entire amount of the Commitment Shares shall be fully earned by CFPI and shall be non-refundable as of the Closing, regardless of whether any purchases are made or settled under the Cantor Purchase Agreement or any subsequent termination of the Cantor Purchase Agreement. To the extent, after the resale of all Commitment Shares by CFPI, the net proceeds of the resale of such Commitment Shares by CFPI is less than $1,000,000, New Intuitive Machines will pay CFPI the difference between $1,000,000 and the net proceeds of the resale of the Commitment Shares received by CFPI in cash. The Cantor Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations by each party. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Cantor Purchase Agreements were made only for purposes of the Cantor Purchase Agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and are subject to certain important limitations.

New Intuitive Machines has the right to terminate the Cantor Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon ten trading days’ prior written notice. Under certain limited circumstances, CFPI has the right to terminate the Cantor Purchase Agreement for various reasons, including if, in its sole and absolute discretion, it (i) is not satisfied with the results of its due diligence review of Inflection Point (prior to the Closing) or New Intuitive Machines (after the Closing) with respect to material aspects of such entity’s assets, business, operations, earnings, properties, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or projections, stockholders’ equity or results of operations,

138

or any disclosure related thereto, or (ii) identifies facts related to such entity that pose a material reputational risk to CFPI or its affiliates. No termination of the Cantor Purchase Agreement will alter or otherwise affect New Intuitive Machines’ obligations under the Cantor Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below). To the extent that CFPI terminates the Cantor Purchase Agreement as a result of its failure to be satisfied with the results of its due diligence review of Inflection Point (prior to the Closing) or New Intuitive Machines (after the Closing), CFPI will be required to promptly return any Commitment Shares issued pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement and, upon such return, the Commitment Shares will be deemed forfeited and surrendered by CFPI.

Cantor Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with Inflection Point’s entry into the Cantor Purchase Agreement, Inflection Point entered into the Cantor Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which Inflection Point agreed to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock that are sold to CFPI under the Equity Facility and the Commitment Shares.

Second A&R Operating Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, Intuitive Machines will amend and restate its limited liability company agreement by adopting the Second A&R Operating Agreement. The Second A&R Operating Agreement will (i) permit the issuance and ownership of the post-Recapitalization equity of Intuitive Machines as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and (ii) admit Inflection Point as the managing member of Intuitive Machines. The Intuitive Machines Founders will control New Intuitive Machines immediately after the Closing by virtue of their ownership of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock.

Background of the Business Combination

Inflection Point is a blank check company that was incorporated on January 27, 2021, as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Business Combination is the result of an extensive search for a potential transaction utilizing the global network and the investing and operating experience of Inflection Point’s management team and the Inflection Point Board. The terms of the Business Combination are the result of extensive negotiations among the representatives of Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines. The following is a description of the background of these negotiations and the resulting terms of the Business Combination.

Prior to the consummation of the IPO on September 24, 2021, neither Inflection Point, nor anyone on Inflection Point’s behalf, identified any specific target business, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a transaction with Inflection Point.

The prospectus for the IPO states that Inflection Point intended to seek strong fundamental businesses in a broad range of consumer products and technology sectors, with emphasis on one or more of the following attributes:

        Innovative, technology-enabled consumer brand or disruptive commerce technology platform of scale focused on acquiring net new customers with a large addressable market, legacy analogue competitors and a differentiated path to market or superior product and customer experience.

        Customer focused, and culturally relevant team fueled by a shared connection and passion for the brand or platform.

        Adaptable to the rapidly changing business environment and major shift in demographics with the ability to meet the customer wherever they may browse or shop regardless of existing government mandates or rapidly evolving consumer preferences.

        Achieved a scale such that the profit contribution from existing business offsets fixed costs and is prepared to reinvest high-margin new customer acquisition with growth loop economics.

        Amenable to our management’s expertise in global brand development/awareness and broadening consumer acquisition channels by expanding advertising spend beyond performance-based marketing and into deeper more sustainable channels without sacrificing advertising ROI.

After completion of the IPO, Inflection Point’s officers and directors commenced an active search for prospective businesses or assets to acquire in its initial business combination. Representatives of Inflection Point were contacted by, and representatives of Inflection Point contacted, numerous individuals, financial advisors, business owners and other entities who offered to present ideas for business combination opportunities. Inflection Point’s officers and directors and their affiliates actively searched for and brought business combination targets to Inflection Point’s attention. Although Citi did not introduce Inflection Point to Intuitive Machines, on occasion, Citi introduced Inflection Point to certain other potential business combination targets. Inflection Point did not deliver initial draft letters of intent to any company introduced by Citi. Except for (i) the introductions described above, (ii) general dialogue between representatives of Inflection Point and Citi about sourcing targets and broader SPAC market conditions in the ordinary course, (iii) the interactions with Citi described below related Citi’s refusal to act as financial advisor to Inflection Point and (iv) Citi’s subsequent waiver of its entitlement to the payment of the deferred compensation solely with respect to the Business Combination, Inflection Point has had no relationship, formal or otherwise, with Citi following the close of the IPO.

From September 24, 2021 to May 12, 2022, Inflection Point reviewed more than 100 acquisition opportunities across various industries, entered into approximately 15 non-disclosure agreement with potential targets (including Intuitive Machines), each individually negotiated on customary terms. Inflection Point had active discussions with approximately 25 of those potential business targets and delivered initial drafts of letters of intent to seven of such companies, including Intuitive Machines. Inflection Point ultimately determined not to proceed with each of the other potential acquisition opportunities, either because: (a) Inflection Point did not prevail in or could not preempt a competitive process; (b) Inflection Point could not come to an agreement with the counterparty on the economic terms for a potential transaction; (c) the counterparty was not seeking to pursue a business combination at that time; or (d) Inflection Point concluded that the target business or the terms of a potential business combination would not be suitable for Inflection Point or its shareholders. Further, following extensive due diligence conducted by Inflection Point’s management and its advisors, and following detailed discussions with Intuitive Machines, Inflection Point believed Intuitive Machines to be a strong target business, with a competitive position in its industry, rapidly growing revenue and superior equity capital efficiency, and that it aligns with Inflection Point’s investment criteria. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — The Inflection Point Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination for a further discussion of these considerations.

The following chronology summarizes the key meetings and events that led to the signing of the letter of intent and Business Combination Agreement and other Transaction Documents with Intuitive Machines, but it does not purport to catalogue every conversation among representatives of Inflection Point, Intuitive Machines, and their respective advisors.

On February 24, 2022, Chairman and Founder of Intuitive Machines, Dr. Kamal Ghaffarian, facilitated an introduction between management of Intuitive Machines and management of Inflection Point. Inflection Point’s management team and the Inflection Point Board had been previously acquainted with other companies founded by Mr. Ghaffarian, including another target for which Inflection Point submitted an initial draft letter of intent.

On February 25, 2022, an introductory management presentation between the management team of Intuitive Machines and Inflection Point was scheduled for March 2, 2022.

On February 28, 2022, Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines entered into a non-disclosure agreement, and Intuitive Machines provided investor presentation slides to Inflection Point to review in advance of the introductory meeting.

On March 2, 2022, Steve Altemus and Erik Sallee, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, of Intuitive Machines presented to Michael Blitzer, Guy Shanon, Nick Shekerdemian and Kevin Shannon, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Co-Chief Executive Officer, director and chief of staff, respectively, of Inflection Point. Topics covered included a detailed overview of the business lines, competitive landscape, financial profile, relevant governmental regulations, funding raised to date, and anticipated use of funds from a potential special purpose acquisition company transaction.

On March 3, 2022, members of the Inflection Point team were granted access to the data room, and between March 3, 2022 and March 9, 2022, Inflection Point’s management team conducted due diligence on Intuitive Machines, including an in-depth review of the financial model prepared by Intuitive Machines’ management team.

On March 9, 2022, Messrs. Blitzer, Shanon and Shannon conducted a follow-up call with Mr. Sallee to discuss the financial model and various revenue drivers for the business. On the call it was noted that Intuitive Machines was in the process of interviewing potential financial advisors for a business combination transaction. It was also noted that Intuitive Machines had received a draft letter of intent from another special purpose acquisition company on March 8, 2022.

Between March 10, 2022 and March 23, 2022, members of the Inflection Point team continued their diligence process on Intuitive Machines including conducting an in-depth review of each of Intuitive Machines’ business segments.

On March 23, 2022, Messrs. Blitzer, Shanon and Shannon held an introductory call with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“J.P. Morgan”), the financial advisors hired by the Intuitive Machines to assist with the transaction. Also on March 23, 2022, Inflection Point’s management team prepared a draft letter of intent for a proposed business combination with Intuitive Machines (the “LOI”). The LOI reflected a pre-money equity value range of $900.0 million to $1.2 billion, in addition to certain other transaction terms, including the proposed size of a Proposed PIPE Investment, Kingstown 1740’s $50.0 million investment, and 6-month lock-up restrictions on the holders of Founder Shares and the Intuitive Machines Members. Inflection Point sent the initial draft to its outside counsel, White & Case LLP (“White & Case”) for their review. The initial pre-money equity value range was based on comparative companies analyses for each of the business segments of Intuitive Machines and projections, as further described in “The Inflection Point Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination — Summary of Financial Analysis” and “Projections” below.

On March 28, 2022, Inflection Point submitted the LOI to J.P. Morgan and Intuitive Machines.

On April 5, 2022, Mr. Blitzer contacted a senior investment banking representative of Citi, to inform Citi of the potential transaction and to ask Citi to act as capital markets advisor to Inflection Point in connection with the Business Combination, a role customarily performed by SPAC IPO underwriters. In response, the Citi representative informed Mr. Blitzer that Citi would not discuss or be involved with the Business Combination.

On April 5, 2022, the J.P. Morgan team relayed initial feedback to the Inflection Point team including clarification around the Up-C tax structure, a request for an earn-out with triggers at $12.50 and $15.00, a request for the Sponsor to forfeit a number of Founder Shares and subject a number of Founder Shares to earn-out, a request for a 10-1 high vote/low vote structure, a $120 million minimum cash condition, and other provisions. Inflection Point received a revised draft of the LOI consistent with such comments on April 7, 2022.

On April 6, 2022 members of the Inflection Point team spoke with Cantor to learn about the terms of a potential equity facility to be provided by Cantor to the post-Business Combination company and to discuss Inflection Point engaging Cantor as a financial advisor to Inflection Point for the Business Combination.

Between April 11, 2022 and May 25, 2022, members of the Inflection Point team conducted several due diligence calls with industry experts to further enhance their knowledge of the competitive landscape and lunar economy as a whole.

Following discussions between the Inflection Point team and representatives of White & Case and Cantor, on April 14, 2022, Cantor sent J.P. Morgan a revised LOI reflecting, among other things, the inclusion of an equity facility as part of the transaction financing, the removal of the Sponsor forfeiture and earn-out provisions, and the removal of the high vote/low vote structure.

On April 19, 2022, Cantor and J.P. Morgan had a call to discuss the revised draft of the LOI.

On April 25, 2022, Messrs. Altemus, Sallee, Blitzer, Shanon and Shannon, as well as members of the Cantor and J.P. Morgan teams, held a call for Cantor to further explain the potential equity facility and potential investors to speak to in connection with the Proposed PIPE Investment.

On April 29, 2022, the J.P. Morgan team sent a further revised draft of the LOI to Cantor. Certain changes included adding back the Sponsor forfeiture and earn-out provisions, adding back the high vote/low vote structure, and specifying that the equity facility would not count towards the minimum cash condition.

On May 2, 2022, Edward Sonnenschein, Chief Legal Officer of IBX, LLC, Messrs. Ghaffarian, Altemus, Sallee, Blitzer, Shekerdemian and Shannon, as well as members of the Cantor, J.P. Morgan, Latham & Watkins LLP, legal counsel to Intuitive Machines (“Latham”), and White & Case teams met at Intuitive Machines’ headquarters in Houston to discuss the revised draft of the LOI. Members of Inflection Point and White & Case toured Intuitive Machines’ facility. Various outstanding business points were finalized. See “Intuitive Machines Related Person Transactions — Our Relationship with IBX, LLC” for a description of the relationship between Intuitive Machines and IBX, LLC.

On May 4, 2022, Mr. Blitzer sent an email outlining revised commercial terms based on the meeting in Houston. Revised provisions included a 2:1 Intuitive Machines Founder super-voting structure, a 10.0 million share Intuitive Machines earn-out with triggers based on a contract win and common equity prices of $15.00 and $20.00, and a Sponsor earn-out of 400,000 shares if certain conditions were not met at closing.

On May 5, 2022, Mr. Blitzer spoke to Mr. Ghaffarian, and an agreement was reached including a 3:1 Intuitive Machines Founder super-voting structure, a common-equity price based earn out at thresholds of $15.00 and $17.50, and 500,000 Founder Shares to be placed in earn-out and forfeited if certain conditions were not met at closing. Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines agreed that the enterprise value of Intuitive Machines would be further negotiated after additional diligence by Inflection Point and its advisors, and receipt of market feedback after investor presentations in connection with the Proposed PIPE Investment.

Between May 6, 2022 and May 12, 2022, Inflection Point, Intuitive Machines and their respective counsels negotiated the final terms and wording of the LOI.

On May 9, 2022, Inflection Point formally engaged Cantor to act as its financial advisor in connection with the Business Combination.

On May 11, 2022, Mr. Ghaffarian called Mr. Blitzer to inform him, and Mr. Altemus followed up with an email confirming, that the board of Intuitive Machines had formally approved entering into the LOI with Inflection Point.

On May 12, 2022, Mr. Blitzer spoke to Mr. Altemus to finalize the mechanics through which the Sponsor earn-out would be tied to the minimum cash condition. Later on May 12, 2022, Mr. Blitzer executed the LOI on behalf of Inflection Point, and Mr. Altemus executed the LOI on behalf of Intuitive Machines.

On May 17, 2022, the Intuitive Machines team held an informational session via Zoom for the Cantor and J.P. Morgan teams to learn more about the business of Intuitive Machines.

Also on May 17, 2022, representatives of Inflection Point spoke with senior investment banking and capital markets representatives of Citi in order to inform Citi that Inflection Point construed Citi’s refusal to act in the customary role of capital markets advisor to be a waiver of its entitlement to the Deferred Discount, between Inflection Point and Citi, and sought Citi’s confirmation of such waiver. The representatives of Inflection Point also informed the representatives of Citi that, whether or not Citi confirmed its waiver, Inflection Point did not intend to pay the Deferred Discount to Citi.

On May 19, 2022, members of the Cantor and Inflection Point teams traveled back to Houston to conduct further in-person due diligence and tour the Intuitive Machines lunar lander production facilities.

On May 19, May 23, and May 27, members of the Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines teams had calls with prospective investment banks about the anticipated Proposed PIPE Investment. The teams decided the incremental value add of bringing in additional banks for the Proposed PIPE Investment would be minimal, and decided to proceed with Cantor as the sole placement agent.

On May 25 and May 26, calls were held with members of the Intuitive Machines, Inflection Point, Cantor, and J.P. Morgan teams to review and discuss the investor presentation for the Proposed PIPE Investment.

Members of the Intuitive Machines, Inflection Point, Cantor, J.P. Morgan, Latham, White & Case, and DLA Piper teams were in attendance.

On June 16, 2022, the Cantor team explained to Messrs. Altemus, Sallee, Blitzer, Shanon and Shannon the types of PIPE security structures they had seen clearing the market in recent deals. The attendees also discussed the strategy on which potential investors to reach out to first.

On June 21, 2022, Cantor began wall crossing potential investors for the Proposed PIPE Investment, and between June 24, 2022 and August 30, 2022, meetings were held with over 20 prospective investors for the Proposed PIPE Investment. The resulting demand exceeded $50.0 million of proposed committed financing. After substantial consideration, Intuitive Machines and Inflection Point decided not to accept the financing due to the high perceived cost of capital.

On June 22, 2022, a call was held between Messrs. Sallee, Shanon and Shannon to refine various investor outreach talking points on Intuitive Machines’ competitive advantages in each of its business segments. Mr. Sallee also provided an update on the status of outreach to certain strategic investors.

On June 23, 2022, a weekly update call was held where Cantor provided an update on their wall crossing progress and scheduled meetings. Members of the Intuitive Machines, Inflection Point, Cantor, J.P. Morgan, Latham, White & Case, and DLA Piper teams were in attendance.

On June 30, and July 7, 2022, calls were held where Cantor provided an update on their investor outreach progress, meeting schedule, and meeting feedback. Members of the Intuitive Machines, Inflection Point, Cantor, and J.P. Morgan teams were in attendance.

On July 14, 21 and 28, 2022, calls were held where Cantor provided an update on their investor progress, meeting schedule, and meeting feedback.

On August 25, 2022 the terms of the Series A Investment were finalized between Inflection Point and the Series A Investors.

During the PIPE process, the parties received feedback from potential investors on the valuation of Intuitive Machines. Based on this feedback, the parties determined to reduce the pre-money valuation of Intuitive Machines from $900.0 million (the low end of the range set forth in the LOI), to $700.0 million (excluding approximately $21.0 million of SAFE financing). Inflection Point’s management believes this valuation is appropriate based on, among other things, (a) the implied valuation of Intuitive Machines’ public Peer Group, which included Planet Labs PBC, Terran Orbital Corporation, Maxar Technologies, Rocket Lab USA, Inc., Virgin Galactic, and Virgin Orbit, and (b) Intuitive Machines’ growth prospects, business strategy, market-leading competitive positioning, and projections.

On September 14, 2022, the Inflection Point Board of Directors held a meeting and unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein. During the meeting, White & Case presented its legal due diligence findings. The findings from White & Case’s legal due diligence efforts supported, and did not result in any changes to, the agreed upon valuation of Intuitive Machines. The due diligence was relevant to, or impacted, certain terms of the transaction unrelated to valuation, including negotiating the representations and warranties given by Intuitive Machines in the Business Combination Agreement. Following discussion, the Inflection Point Board unanimously (i) determined that the Business Combination Agreement was fair, advisable, and in the best interests of Inflection Point and its shareholders, (ii) adopted and approved the Business Combination Agreement, (iii) directed the officers of Inflection Point to submit the Business Combination and the Business Combination Agreement to the Inflection Point shareholders for adoption and approval, and (iv) recommended that Inflection Point’s shareholders approve the Business Combination Agreement and the related proposals described in the Business Combination Agreement.

On September 16, 2022, Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines executed the Business Combination Agreement. Concurrent with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the applicable parties executed the Sponsor Support Agreement, Stock Escrow and Earn Out Agreements, Member Voting and Support Agreement, Series A Purchase Agreement, Cantor Purchase Agreement and Cantor Registration Rights Agreement, and Non-Redemption Agreement.

On September 16, 2022, Intuitive Machines and Inflection Point issued a press release announcing the Business Combination.

On November 11, 2022, a representative of Citi advised a representative of Inflection Point that because Citi’s decision to not be involved with the Business Combination was due to a potential business conflict, Citi would waive its entitlement to the payment of the deferred compensation solely with respect to the Business Combination.

On November 27, 2022, Citi executed a formal waiver of its entitlement to the deferred compensation in connection with the Business Combination. Citi was not provided, and will not be provided, from any source, any consideration in exchange for its waiver of its entitlement to the payment of the deferred compensation or with respect to any agreements, arrangements or understandings between Citi and any party with respect to the waiver.

Citi was not involved in the preparation of any disclosure that is included in this proxy statement/prospectus, or any business analysis underlying such disclosure, and shareholders do not have the benefit of any such involvement. Shareholders should not place any reliance on the fact that Citi was involved with Inflection Point’s IPO.

On December 16, 2022, Intuitive Machines engaged Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”) to act as one of its capital markets advisors in connection with the Business Combination.

Inflection Point engaged Benchmark in order to assist Inflection Point in arranging investor meetings with the purpose of presenting Inflection Point as an investment opportunity to qualified investors, inviting Inflection Point to attend Benchmark’s investor conferences and events when appropriate and providing such other advisory services as may from time to time be requested by Inflection Point and be agreed upon by Inflection Point and Benchmark. On the other hand, each of Canaccord Genuity and Roth were engaged by Intuitive Machines, in order to provide capital markets advisory services directly to Intuitive Machines. In particular, Intuitive Machines engaged Canaccord to provide advice regarding the strategic positioning of Intuitive Machines in the market, to coordinate and host Intuitive Machines management in one-on-one and group meetings with institutional investors and to invite Intuitive Machines management to participate in investor conferences and other events hosted by Canaccord. Further, Intuitive Machines engaged Roth to assist in generating awareness among qualified investors prior to and after Inflection Point’s extraordinary general meeting to approve the Business Combination. The aggregate fees payable to such capital markets advisors is estimated to be $1.55 million.

The Inflection Point Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

Before reaching its decision on September 14, 2022, the Inflection Point Board consulted with its management team, legal counsel and other advisors. The Inflection Point Board considered a variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination in approving and recommending the transaction to the Inflection Point shareholders. In light of the complexity of those factors, the Inflection Point Board did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. Different individual members of the Inflection Point Board may have given different weight to different factors in their evaluation of the Business Combination. Among those factors, the Inflection Point Board reviewed the results of due diligence conducted by Inflection Point’s management, legal advisors, and third-party consultants, which included:

        Research on the lunar services industry and related space industries, which affirmed Inflection Point’s belief that there is ample opportunity for first movers in the industry to capitalize on significant government funding commitments and a burgeoning commercial ecosystem while solidifying competitive positioning;

        A review of Intuitive Machines’ historical financial performance and forecasts including revenues, contract awards, margin profiles, capital expenditures, cash flow and other relevant financial and operating metrics. This review included a thorough and robust diligence of Intuitive Machines’ different revenue drivers, historical contract win rate, historical rate of growth, benchmarked where possible, against public and private peer companies based on publicly available information. In recommending the Business Combination, the Inflection Point Board acknowledged Intuitive Machines’ rapidly growing revenue starting with approximately $8 million in 2018, $20 million in 2019, $44 million in 2020, $73 million in 2021, and a projected $102 million and $291 million in 2022 and 2023, respectively, employ efficiency with only $32.4 million equity financing raised as of June 2022, and the significant margin expansion opportunity for Intuitive Machines resulting from synergies within its various business lines and economies of scale;

        Conference calls and in person meetings with Intuitive Machines’ management team and representatives regarding operations, company products and services, intellectual property, end customer markets, total available market for each business segment and growth prospects, among other customary due diligence matters, which validated the Inflection Point Board’s view that Intuitive Machines maintained high-quality management and operations and supported the broader growth trajectory of the business;

        Findings of a third-party commercial due diligence review of Intuitive Machines’ operations and business strategy, which supported the Inflection Point Board’s belief that Intuitive Machines has a strong value proposition, coherent strategy and a first mover advantage in lunar access services;

        Review of Intuitive Machines’ material business contracts, historical financials and audits, targeted government programs, intellectual property and information technology and certain other legal due diligence, which did not reveal any material adverse findings;

        Customary confirmatory financial and accounting due diligence, which did not reveal any material adverse findings; and

        The prospective financial information of Intuitive Machines set forth in the materials provided by Intuitive Machines.

As detailed above, the prospectus for the Inflection Point IPO identified the general criteria and guidelines that Inflection Point believed would be important in evaluating prospective target businesses, although Inflection Point also indicated it may enter into a business combination with a target business that does not meet these criteria and guidelines. The Inflection Point Board considered these criteria in its evaluation of Intuitive Machines.

Intuitive Machines’ Business.    Inflection Point sought to acquire an innovative, technology-enabled consumer brand or disruptive commerce technology platform of scale focused on acquiring net new customers with a large addressable market, legacy analogue competitors and a differentiated path to market or superior product and customer experience.

Inflection Point believes that while Intuitive Machines is not in the consumer industry, it still meets the key criteria outlined above. Intuitive Machines is leveraging modern technology to tap into the massive lunar market opportunity that has historically been dominated by one legacy entity, NASA. Intuitive Machines’ business model of leveraging government funding to commercially develop sophisticated space capabilities is differentiated from prior lunar programs run directly out of national space agencies.

Management Team.    Inflection Point intended to pursue companies with a customer focused and culturally relevant team fueled by a shared connection and passion for the brand or platform.

Inflection Point believes Intuitive Machines satisfies this criteria through the deep embedded passion among its management team for space and the Moon. The senior leadership team at Intuitive Machines hails from careers in NASA’s human space flight division, various branches of the US military including the Space Force, and numerous blue-chip aerospace and defense companies.

Strategically Nimble.    Inflection Point sought to acquire a company adaptable to the rapidly changing business environment and major shift in demographics with the ability to meet the customer wherever they may browse or shop regardless of existing government mandates or rapidly evolving consumer preferences.

Inflection Point believes Intuitive Machines satisfies this criteria through its demonstrated ability to pivot its strategic focus to better fit with evolving end markets. Intuitive Machines was founded as a think tank in 2013 focused on multiple industries, but following President Trump’s announcement in late 2017 that the United States would return humans to the Moon, Intuitive Machines’ management team quickly shifted the entire strategic focus of the company to building out a lunar program. This foresight allowed Intuitive Machines to compete for Artemis funding from the program’s outset and develop an advanced competitive position in the lunar market.

Inflection Point.    Inflection Point intended to pursue companies that had achieved a scale such that the profit contribution from existing business offset fixed costs and were prepared to reinvest high-margin new customer acquisition with growth loop economics.

Inflection Point believes Intuitive Machines satisfies this criteria as demonstrated by having more trailing revenues than nearly all of the space companies that have elected to go public through SPACs. Intuitive Machines will be among the first companies to attempt to land on the Moon. Upon a successful landing, Intuitive Machines will have a competitive advantage in bidding for future contracts that will further distance it from the competition. Intuitive Machines’ existing business units are largely able to self-fund, and the growth capital provided by the Business Combination will allow New Intuitive Machines to invest in technologies that will further differentiate Intuitive Machines’ capabilities. These investments include deploying the first commercial constellation of satellites around the Moon, developing technology that allows lunar landers to function through the 14-day lunar nights, the capability to return lunar samples back to Earth, the development of a larger lunar lander with superior unit economics, among other things. Inflection Point believes the broader lunar sector is also at an inflection point due to NASA’s Artemis program, which reflects a focus on and funding dedicated to lunar programs reminiscent of the Apollo era.

Inflection Point Partnership.    Inflection Point sought to acquire a company that was amenable to our management’s expertise in global brand development/awareness and broadening consumer acquisition channels by expanding advertising spend beyond performance-based marketing and into deeper more sustainable channels without sacrificing advertising ROI.

146

Table of Contents

Inflection Point believes that while Intuitive Machines is not a consumer business, Intuitive Machines will still be able to benefit greatly from our management team’s expertise in the public and private financial markets. Inflection Point provided insights throughout the investor outreach and capital raising process that we believe resulted in an optimal transaction structure in the current environment.

Superior Technology Compared to Alternatives.    The Inflection Point Board believes that Intuitive Machines’ technology is superior to its lunar competitors. Intuitive Machines has vertically integrated much of its lander production to insulate itself from supply chain issues that have affected various competitors. Inflection Point also believes NASA has validated Intuitive Machines as one of the lunar cargo transportation providers of choice as evidenced by awarding Intuitive Machines more Commercial Lunar Payload Services task orders than any other company to date. The Inflection Point Board believes these factors will also enable Intuitive Machines to grow its market share in the new business segments it is incubating in the satellite servicing and lunar data markets.

Other Alternatives.    The Inflection Point Board believes, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to Inflection Point, that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential initial business combination reasonably available to Inflection Point based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets.

Series A Commitment.    The Series A Investors have committed to purchase $26.0 million in Series A Preferred Stock and Preferred Investor Warrants. We believe the Series A Investment terms are favorable for Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines in the current market.

Intuitive Machines’ Members’ Retained Interest.    Intuitive Machines Members are rolling 100% of their equity, investing in additional equity in the transaction, and will own an approximately 62% stake in New Intuitive Machines (assuming the no redemptions scenario and calculated based upon certain assumptions as described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Beneficial Ownership of Securities”), demonstrating their ongoing equity commitment.

Summary of Financial Analysis

In recommending the Business Combination, the Inflection Point Board considered whether the consideration to be paid to the Intuitive Machines Members was fair from a financial perspective to Inflection Point’s shareholders. Although the Inflection Point Board did not seek a third-party valuation, and did not receive a valuation opinion from any third party in connection with the Business Combination, the Inflection Point Board relied on the Inflection Point management team’s collective experience in public market transactions in constructing and evaluating financial models and projections and conducting valuations of businesses.

Selected Public Companies Analysis.    Inflection Point reviewed publicly-available financial information related to selected publicly-traded companies in the same industry as Intuitive Machines, selected based on Inflection Point’s management’s experience and judgment. Specifically, Inflection Point identified companies in the space industry that had reached a level of maturity in terms of historical revenues that management believed was comparable to Intuitive Machines and were deemed to share similar business characteristics to Intuitive Machines based on operational and/or financial metrics. Inflection Point believed the business conducted by the following public companies were comparable to Inflection Point’s lines of business: (i) public companies in the launch providers/tourism sector, Virgin Galactic Holdings, Virgin Orbit Holdings, and Rocket Lab USA, Inc., which Inflection Point viewed as comparable to one or more of Intuitive Machines’ lunar access business section; (ii) a satellite data analytics public company, Planet Labs PBC, which Inflection Point viewed as comparable to Intuitive Machines’ Lunar Data Services business section; (iii) and space solutions public companies, Maxar Technologies Inc. and Terran Orbital, which Inflection Point viewed as comparable to Intuitive Machines’ Orbital Services and Space Products and Infrastructure business sections. However, no company utilized in the selected public companies analysis is directly comparable to Intuitive Machines and certain of these companies may have financial, business and/or operating characteristics that are materially different from those of Intuitive Machines.

Inflection Point management used the data from the comparable company valuation profiles to assess whether the valuation ascribed to Intuitive Machines in the Business Combination was substantiated based upon the equity market valuations of the above comparable companies.

Based on the selected public companies analysis, Inflection Point believes that the combination of the following three attributes of Intuitive Machines makes the Business Combination attractive for and in the best interests of Inflection Point’s shareholders:

        Intuitive Machines is among the top three comparable companies in terms of historical revenue, displaying the relative maturity of its business;

        Intuitive Machines projected EV/Revenue multiples are lower than all but two of the comparable companies based on 2023 projected revenue and all but one of the of the comparable companies based on 2024 projected revenue, showcasing an attractive valuation relative to public peers; and

        Intuitive Machines diversification of projected revenue streams from four distinct business lines is, Inflection Point believes, a differentiator that will allow Intuitive Machines to participate in multiple facets of the growth of the space economy.

Based on these various factors, the Inflection Point Board concluded that a fully diluted pre-Closing enterprise value of Intuitive Machines of $700.0 million (excluding approximately $21.0 million of SAFE financing) is a fair and reasonable valuation. In making such determination, the Inflection Point Board considered (a) the implied valuation of the Peer Group and (b) Intuitive Machines’ growth prospects, business strategy, market-leading competitive positioning, and other compelling aspects of the Business Combination. The Inflection Point Board believed that the consideration to be paid for Intuitive Machines represents an attractive initial valuation relative to Intuitive Machines’ publicly traded Peer Group.

The Inflection Point Board also gave consideration to certain negative factors (which are more fully described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 58, although not weighted or in any order of significance).

The risk that Inflection Point’s Public Shareholders would vote against the Business Combination Proposal or exercise their redemption rights.

The Inflection Point Board considered the risk that some of the current Public Shareholders would vote against the Business Combination Proposal or decide to exercise their redemption rights, thereby reducing the amount of cash available in the Trust Account. The Inflection Point Board concluded, however, that the risk was mitigated because there is no minimum amount of available cash required to consummate the Business Combination. Further, the fact that Public Shareholders may vote for the Business Combination Proposal while also exercising their redemption rights reduces the incentive for a Public Shareholders to vote against the Business Combination Proposal, especially to the extent that they hold Public Warrants which would be worthless if the Business Combination, or another business combination, is not completed.

Inflection Point’s management, the Inflection Point Board, the Sponsor and affiliates of the Sponsor may have different interests in the Business Combination than the Public Shareholders.

The Inflection Point Board considered the fact that members of Inflection Point’s management, the Inflection Point Board, the Sponsor and affiliates of the Sponsor may have interests that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of Inflection Point’s Public Shareholders generally, including the matters described under “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Inflection Point Persons in the Business Combination” of this proxy statement/prospectus. However, the Inflection Point Board concluded that the potentially disparate interests would be mitigated because (a) these interests were disclosed in the prospectus for the IPO to the extent then-known and re-disclosed and supplemented herein and (b) these disparate interests may exist or may be even greater with respect to a business combination with any other target company, depending on the substantive terms and timing of any such alternative business combination.

The Inflection Point Board also considered a variety of additional uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

Liquidation of Inflection Point.    The risks and costs to Inflection Point if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other initial business combination opportunities, which could result in Inflection Point being unable to effect an initial business combination by September 24, 2023 and force Inflection Point to liquidate and the Inflection Point Warrants to expire worthless.

Competition.    The fact that there are a number of companies competing in the lunar transportation industry and the possibility that Intuitive Machines may be unable to continue to win NASA task orders at its current success rate, or the possibility that one of its competitors may be able to develop new technologies or business strategies that may negatively impact Intuitive Machines’ growth prospects.

Mission Failures.    The fact that there are significant technical challenges to successfully landing on the Moon and that, despite rigorous testing and preparation, the possibility of mission failures remains.

Table of Contents

Closing Conditions.    The fact that completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within Inflection Point’s control.

Litigation.    The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

Fees and Expenses.    The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination.

Public Company Status.    The requirements of being a public company, including compliance with the SEC’s requirements regarding internal control over financial reporting, may strain New Intuitive Machines’ resources and divert management’s attention, and the increases in legal, accounting and compliance expenses that will result from the Business Combination may be greater than New Intuitive Machines anticipates.

Satisfaction of the 80% Test

It is a requirement under the Cayman Constitutional Documents and Nasdaq listing requirements that the target business acquired in Inflection Point’s initial business combination have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for Inflection Point’s initial business combination. As of September 16, 2022, the date of the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the balance of funds held in the Trust Account was at least $331,476,018, and 80% thereof represents approximately $265,180,815. The Inflection Point Board considered all of the factors described above and the fact that the aggregate consideration for Inflection Point was the result of arm’s length negotiations with Intuitive Machines. As a result, the Inflection Point Board concluded that the fair market value of the business acquired was in excess of 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding any taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account). In light of the financial background and experience of the members of Inflection Point’s management team and the Inflection Point Board, the Inflection Point Board believes that the members of the management team and the Inflection Point Board are qualified to determine whether the Business Combination meets the 80% test.

Interests of the Intuitive Machines Directors and Executive Officers

Intuitive Machines’ directors and executive officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of the Inflection Point Shareholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

Member Earn-Out

In connection with the Business Combination, certain of Intuitive Machines’ directors and executive officers that are Intuitive Machines Members will be entitled to receive, pro rata, 10,000,000 Earn Out Units that will deposited into escrow at the Closing and will be earned, released and delivered upon satisfaction of the following milestones: (i) 2,500,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, during the Earn Out Period Triggering Event I occurs , Intuitive Machines is awarded the OMES III Contract by NASA (ii) 5,000,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, within the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event I has occurred and the volume weighted average closing sale price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share, (iii) 7,500,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, within the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event I has not occurred and Triggering Event II-B occurs the volume weighted average closing sale price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share and (iv) 2,500,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, within the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event III occurs the volume weighted average closing sale price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $17.50 per share, provided, that Triggering Event II-A and Triggering Event II-B may not both be achieved.

If a change of control occurs during the Earn Out Period that results in the holders of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock receiving a per share price greater than or equal to $15.00 or $17.50, respectively, then immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control, to the extent not previously triggered, then Triggering Event II-A, Triggering Event II-B or Triggering Event III will be deemed to have occurred, as applicable, and the Earn Out Units shall vest.

150

Table of Contents

Upon the vesting of any Earn Out Units, each applicable Intuitive Machines Member will be issued an equal number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, in exchange for the payment to New Intuitive Machines of a per-share price equal to the par value per share of such New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock.

The “Earn Out Period” means (i) with respect to Triggering Event I, the time period beginning on September 16, 2022 and ending at 11:59 pm ET on December 31, 2023, and (ii) with respect to Triggering Event II-A, Triggering Event II-B and Triggering Event III, the time period beginning on the date that is 150 days following the Closing Date and ending on the date that is the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date.

Treatment of Intuitive Machines Equity Awards in the Business Combination

As part of the Recapitalization, each outstanding option of Intuitive Machines, whether vested or unvested, will become an Intuitive Machine OpCo Option with substantially the same terms and conditions as applicable to such option immediately prior to the Recapitalization (including expiration date, vesting conditions and exercise provisions), except that each such Intuitive Machines OpCo Option shall be exercisable for Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units.

The following table sets forth, for each of Intuitive Machines’ directors and executive officers, the number of units subject to vested and unvested options held by the director or executive officer as of August 31, 2022, the latest practicable date to determine such amounts before the filing of this proxy statement/prospectus. Depending on when the Closing Date occurs, certain Intuitive Machines options shown in the table may vest prior to Closing.

Director Compensation

In connection with the Business Combination, the New Intuitive Machines Board will adopt a new non-employee director compensation policy to govern New Intuitive Machines effective as of the Closing. It is anticipated that the new non-employee director compensation policy will provide for annual cash retainers and certain equity awards that will be granted following the Business Combination.

Interests of Certain Inflection Point Persons in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the Inflection Point Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Shareholder Proposals included herein, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and Inflection Point’s directors and officers have interests in such Shareholder Proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of the Inflection Point Shareholders generally. Further, Inflection Point’s officers and directors have additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity, which are set forth in more detail in the section titled “Other Information Related to Inflection Point — Conflicts of Interest”. We believe there were no such opportunities that were not presented as a result of the existing fiduciary or contractual obligations of our officers and directors to other entities. The Inflection Point Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and Business Combination Agreement and in recommending to our shareholders that they vote in favor of the Shareholder Proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. Inflection Point shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Shareholder Proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

        Our Sponsor purchased 8,243,750 Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares for $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share, in a private placement prior to the consummation of the IPO. All of Inflection Point’s officers and directors have a direct or indirect economic interest in such shares. The 8,243,750 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock that the Sponsor and its permitted transferees will hold following the Business Combination, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $83.2 million based upon the closing price of $10.09 per Inflection Point

151

Table of Contents

Class A Ordinary Share on Nasdaq on January 19, 2023, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. However, given such shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock will be subject to lock-up restrictions, we believe such shares have less value.

        Our Sponsor purchased 6,845,000 Private Placement Warrants for $6,845,000, or $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, in private placements that closed simultaneously with the IPO. Certain Inflection Point’s officers and directors have a direct or indirect economic interest in such Private Placement Warrants. The 6,845,000 New Intuitive Machines Warrants that the Sponsor will hold following the Business Combination, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $1.6 million based upon the closing price of $0.23 per Public Warrant on Nasdaq on January 19, 2023, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. However, given such New Intuitive Machines Warrants will be subject to lock-up restrictions, we believe such warrants have less value.

        Given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsor paid for the Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares as compared to the price of the Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Inflection Point Units sold in the IPO, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return on its investment even if the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock trade below $10.00 per share and the Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing. Accordingly, the economic interests of the Sponsor diverge from the economic interests of Public Shareholders because the Sponsor will realize a gain on its investment from the completion of any business combination while Public Shareholders will realize a gain only if the post-closing trading price exceeds $10.00 per share.

        Our Sponsor will lose its entire investment in us if we do no complete a business combination by September 24, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of the Inflection Point Shareholders, such later date). If we do not consummate a business combination by such date, we would: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as Inflection Point shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining Inflection Point shareholders and the Inflection Point Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 8,243,750 Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares purchased by our Sponsor for $25,000 would be worthless because following the redemption of the Public Shares, we would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the Sponsor has agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if we fail to complete a business combination within the required period. Additionally, in such event, the 6,845,000 Private Placement Warrants that the Sponsor paid $6,845,000 to purchase will expire worthless.

        On September 16, 2022, an affiliate of the Sponsor, Kingstown 1740, committed to purchase 21,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for $21,000,000 at $1,000 per share in connection with the Series A Investment immediately prior to or concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at an initial conversion price determined by dividing the Accrued Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock by the conversion price of $12.00 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments discussed in detail elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Such shares, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have an aggregate market value of approximately $17.7 million based upon the closing price of $10.09 per Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share on Nasdaq on January 19, 2023 the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.

152

Table of Contents

        An affiliate of the Sponsor, Kingstown 1740, purchased 2,900,000 Inflection Point Units in the IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $29,000,000. The 2,900,000 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares underlying such Inflection Point Units had an aggregate market value of approximately $29.3 million based upon the closing price of $10.09 per Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share on Nasdaq on January 19, 2023, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. The 1,450,000 Inflection Point Warrants underlying such Inflection Point Units had an aggregate market value of approximately $333,500 based upon the closing price of $0.23 per Public Warrant on Nasdaq on January 19, 2023, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. For so long as necessary in order for Inflection Point to have shareholders’ equity of at least $5,000,001, Kingstown 1740 has waived its rights to redeem 1,386,989 of such Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with (a) the consummation of an initial business combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a shareholder vote to approve such initial business combination or (b) in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by September 24, 2023 or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity or in the context of a tender offer made by Inflection Point to purchase Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, if we do no complete a business combination by September 24, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of the Inflection Point Shareholders, such later date), Kingstown 1740 may receive only $15,221,538 upon liquidation based upon the funds in the Trust Account as of September 30, 2022. Kingstown 1740’s Public Warrants would expire worthless.

        Inflection Point’s Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed not to redeem any of the Founder Shares or Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination.

        If the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per Public Share, or such lesser amount per Public Share as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account.

        The continuation of Michael Blitzer, one of our existing directors, as a director of New Intuitive Machines following the Closing. As such, in the future he may receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the New Intuitive Machines Board determines to pay to its directors.

        Our existing officers and directors will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for a period of 6 years after the Business Combination.

        In connection with the Closing, our Sponsor, officers and directors would be entitled to the repayment of any outstanding working capital loan and advances that have been made to Inflection Point, provided that the Sponsor may elect to convert up to $1.5 million of such loans into Private Placement Warrants at the Closing. If we do not complete an initial business combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the working capital loans. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, approximately $725,000 was outstanding under such working capital loans.

        Upon the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, our Sponsor, our officers and directors and their respective affiliates may be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial business combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by

153

Table of Contents

Inflection Point from time to time, made by our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, an aggregate of approximately $40,000 of reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses were outstanding.

        Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, Inflection Point’s officers and directors, and the Sponsor and its members will have customary registration rights, including demand and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions with respect to the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants held by such parties following the consummation of the Business Combination.

        An affiliate of the Sponsor, Mr. Blitzer and Mr. Shanon, and an affiliate of Mr. Shekerdemian, have invested in other businesses, including another potential target business in the space sector founded and majority-owned by Mr. Ghaffarian.

As a result of the foregoing interests, the Sponsor and Inflection Point’s directors and officers will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms that would be less favorable to Public Shareholders. In the aggregate, the Sponsor and its affiliates have approximately $119.7 million at risk that depends upon the completion of a business combination. Such amount consists of (a) approximately $82.4 million representing the value of the Founder Shares held by the Sponsor, and (b) $6.8 million representing the value of the Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Sponsor (using the $1.00 per warrant purchase price) and (c) approximately $30.5 million representing the value of Public Shares held by Kingstown 1740 subject to the redemption waiver and the value of Public Warrants held by Kingstown 1740.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Inflection Point’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Inflection Point and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the Shareholder Proposals.

The financial and personal interests of the Sponsor and its affiliates, as well as Inflection Point’s directors and officers, may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Intuitive Machines as a business combination target, completing an initial business combination with Intuitive Machines and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. In considering the recommendations of the Inflection Point Board to vote for the Shareholder Proposals, its shareholders should consider these interests.

Projected Financial Information

In connection with its consideration of the potential business combination, Intuitive Machines provided its internally-derived forecasts, for each of the years in the three-year period ending December 31, 2024 to Inflection Point for use as a component of its overall evaluation of Intuitive Machines. Such projected financial information is included in this proxy statement/prospectus because it was provided to the Inflection Point Board for its evaluation of the Business Combination (the “Projections”).

The Projections are included in this proxy statement/prospectus solely to provide Inflection Point’s shareholders access to information made available in connection with the Inflection Point Board’s consideration of the Business Combination. The Projections should not be viewed as public guidance. Furthermore, the Projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date on which the Projections were prepared, which was September 2022.

The Projections were prepared in good faith by Intuitive Machines’ management team and are based on Intuitive Machines’ management’s reasonable estimates and assumptions with respect to the expected future financial performance of Intuitive Machines at the time the Projections were prepared and speak only as of that time.

The Projections reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions and other future events, as well as matters specific to Intuitive Machines’ business, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Intuitive Machines’ and Inflection Point’s control. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Projections will be realized or that actual

154

Table of Contents

results will not be significantly higher or lower than the Projections. Since the Projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. These Projections are subjective in many respects and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. The Projections are forward-looking statements that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Intuitive Machines’ and Inflection Point’s control. The various risks and uncertainties include those set forth in the “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Intuitive Machines” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

In arriving at the Projections, the material assumptions considered, included, but were not limited to, the following:

        Johnson Space Center Contract Award in 2022.    Intuitive Machines’ management has assumed the company’s status as a Tier 1 subcontractor to the incumbent contractor on a multibillion dollar contract for Johnson Space Center awarded in late 2022. This assumption results in overall projected total revenues from 2022 to 2024 of approximately $80 million as we continue to ramp up activity on this contract since it was awarded in late 2022. Total projected revenues from this award represent 3%, 14% and 5% of total projected company revenues for 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. We estimate a gross profit margin of 10% over the same period. These assumptions are based on Intuitive Machines’ historical operating experience and familiarity with the potential growth that can result from this type of award and reflect related planned headcount additions required to execute the contract. The contract for Johnson Space Center was awarded to the incumbent contractor in September, 2022, with Intuitive Machines’ status as a Tier 1 subcontractor confirmed on the same date.

        NASA CLPS Award in 2022.    Intuitive Machines has forecasted it winning one of the two NASA CLPS contracts being bid in 2022. This assumption is based on Intuitive Machines’ historical success rate when bidding for CLPS contracts. This assumption results in overall projected total revenues from 2023 to 2024 of approximately $45 million. Total projected revenues from these awards represent approximately 2% and 13% of total projected company revenues for 2023 and 2024, respectively. These assumptions are based on (i) the combined mission revenues of the NASA CLPS contracts plus additional commercial payload contracts using available excess capacity and (ii) award and commencement of such contracts in the second half of 2023 with a ramp up in production in 2024. As of the date of this prospectus/proxy statement, the NASA CLPS contracts have not yet been awarded.

        Orbital Services Contract Award in 2023.    Intuitive Machines will hire a world class team from a large cap aerospace company with the specific focus of winning an orbital services contract with Goddard Space Flight Center that is being awarded in the first quarter of calendar year 2023. This assumption results in overall projected total revenues between 2023 and 2024 of approximately $176 million. Total projected revenues from this award represents approximately 18% and 16% of total projected company revenues for 2023 and 2024, respectively. We estimate a gross profit margin of 5% over the same period. These assumptions are based on Intuitive Machines’ historical operating experience and familiarity with the potential growth that can result from this type of award. As of the date of this prospectus/proxy statement, the orbital services contract with Goddard Space Flight Center has not yet been awarded.

        CLPS Awards in 2023.    There are three NASA CLPS contracts scheduled to be awarded in 2023. For purposes of these awards, Intuitive Machines has assumed it will win at least one of the three awards in 2023. This assumption is based on Intuitive Machines’ historical success rate when bidding for CLPS contracts. This assumption results in overall projected total revenues between 2023 and 2024 of approximately $173 million. Total projected revenues from these awards represent approximately 1% and 22% of total projected company revenues for 2023 and 2024, respectively. These assumptions are based on (i) the combined mission revenues of the NASA CLPS contracts plus additional commercial payload contracts using available excess capacity and (ii) award and commencement of such contracts in late 2023 or early 2024. As of the date of this prospectus/proxy statement, none of the three NASA CLPS contracts scheduled to be awarded in 2023 have been awarded.

        Lunar Access Services Gross Margin Expansion in the Medium-Term.    Intuitive Machines’ management assumes that decreasing lander development costs, coupled with higher value missions, will drive Lunar Access Services gross margin expansion in the medium-term. This assumption results in forecasted increases in revenues of approximately $271 million and gross profits of approximately $60 million on existing Lunar Access Services contracts between 2022 and 2024. Total projected revenues represent approximately 90%, 37% and 9% of total projected company revenues for 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively, with gross profit margins ranging from 15% to 25% by year. As of the date of this prospectus/proxy statement, Intuitive Machines has received approximately $49.4 million under Lunar Access Services contracts that have been awarded.

        Lunar Data Services Expansion in the Medium-Term.    Intuitive Machines’ management assumes that its growing Lunar Data Services business unit, which is being structured as a commercial service, will drive gross margin expansion in the medium-term. This assumption results in forecasted increases in revenues of approximately $124 million and gross profits of approximately $120 million on Lunar Access Services contracts between 2023 and 2024. Total projected revenues represent approximately 6% and 14% of total projected company revenues for 2023 and 2024, respectively, with gross profit margins in excess of 90%. These assumptions are based on certain capital expenditures related to the construction of communication satellites totaling approximately $108 million between 2022 and 2023. As of the date of this prospectus/proxy statement, the Lunar Data Services Expansion in the Medium-Term has not yet been awarded.

        Orbital Services Expansion in the Long-Term.    Intuitive Machines’ management assumes that, following its build-out, the Orbital Services business unit will drive additional margin expansion in the long-term. This assumption results in forecasted increases in revenues of $6 million in 2024 at gross profit margins ranging from 35% to 45%. As of the date of this prospectus/proxy statement, the Orbital Services Expansion in the Long-Term has not yet been awarded.

Intuitive Machines uses certain financial measures in the Projections that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP as supplemental measures to evaluate operational performance. While Intuitive Machines believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information, there are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not reported by all of Intuitive Machines’ competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of Intuitive Machines’ competitors. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Financial measures included in the Projections provided to a board of directors or financial advisor in connection with a business combination transaction are excluded from the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” under the rules of the SEC, and therefore the Projections are not subject to SEC rules regarding disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures, which would otherwise require a reconciliation of a non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure. Accordingly, no reconciliation of the financial measures included in the Projections were prepared, and therefore none have been provided in this proxy statement/prospectus. The definitions of the non-GAAP measures included in the projections may not align with those underlying the non-GAAP measures presented in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Intuitive Machines.”

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, (INCLUDING A REGISTRANT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE FULL AND PROMPT DISCLOSURE AS REQUIRED BY SUCH FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS) BY INCLUDING IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS A SUMMARY OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS, NONE OF INFLECTION POINT, INTUITIVE MACHINES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES OR AFFILIATES UNDERTAKES ANY OBLIGATION TO, AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO, UPDATE OR REVISE, OR PUBLICLY DISCLOSE ANY UPDATE OR REVISION TO, THESE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES OR EVENTS, INCLUDING UNANTICIPATED EVENTS, THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED OR THAT MAY OCCUR AFTER THE PREPARATION OF THESE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS AND THEIR PRESENTATION TO THE INFLECTION POINT BOARD, EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS ARE SHOWN TO BE IN ERROR OR CHANGE.

Expected Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

The Domestication

There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of Inflection Point as a result of the Domestication. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and financial statements of Inflection Point immediately following the Domestication will be the same as those immediately prior to the Domestication.

157

Table of Contents

The Business Combination

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a common control transaction with respect to Intuitive Machines which is akin to a reverse recapitalization. Net assets of Inflection Point will be stated at historical cost with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded in accordance with GAAP. The Business Combination with respect to Intuitive Machines will not be treated as a change in control due primarily to one of the Intuitive Machines Members receiving the controlling voting stake in the post-combination company; their continued management of the post-combination company; and their ability to nominate a majority of the board of directors of the post-combination company. Under the guidance in ASC 805 for transactions between entities under common control, the assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interests of Intuitive Machines and Inflection Point are recognized at their carrying amounts on the date of the Business Combination.

Under a reverse recapitalization, Inflection Point will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Intuitive Machines issuing stock for the net assets of Inflection Point, accompanied by a recapitalization.

Regulatory Matters

Neither Inflection Point nor Intuitive Machines are aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination, other than the regulatory notices and approvals discussed in “The Business Combination Proposal — Business Combination Agreement — Closing Conditions — Conditions to the Obligations of Each Party”. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal.

The Business Combination Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Business Combination Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that Inflection Point’s entry into the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2022, by and between Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines, pursuant to which and among other things, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, the parties will complete the Business Combination described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, be approved, ratified and confirmed in all respects.”

Recommendation of the Inflection Point Board

THE INFLECTION POINT BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT INFLECTION POINT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

The Inflection Point Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting is in the best interests of Inflection Point’s shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal.

THE DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL

Overview

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, if the Business Combination Proposal is approved, then Inflection Point is asking its shareholders to approve the Domestication Proposal. Under the Business Combination Agreement, the approval of the Domestication Proposal is also a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. If, however, the Domestication Proposal is approved, but the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, then neither the Domestication nor the Business Combination will be consummated.

As a condition to Closing, the Inflection Point Board has unanimously approved a change of Inflection Point’s jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. To effect the Domestication, Inflection Point will file a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which Inflection Point will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation. In connection with the Domestication and prior to the Business Combination, Inflection Point will be renamed Intuitive Machines, Inc.

Immediately prior to the Domestication, pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, each Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Share issued and outstanding will be automatically converted into one Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share. Immediately following such conversion, in connection with the Domestication (a) each Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication will automatically convert into one share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, (b) each Inflection Point Warrant will be automatically converted into a redeemable New Intuitive Machines Warrant on the same terms as the Inflection Point Warrants, and (c) each Inflection Point Unit issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Domestication will automatically be canceled and each holder will receive one share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and one-half of one New Intuitive Machines Warrant. No fractional New Intuitive Machines Warrants will be issued upon such cancellation.

The Domestication Proposal, if approved, will authorize a change of Inflection Point’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while Inflection Point is currently governed by the Companies Act, upon the Domestication, New Intuitive Machines will be governed by the DGCL. Inflection Point encourages shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under “— Comparison of Shareholder Rights under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After Domestication”.

Reasons for the Domestication

The Inflection Point Board believes that it would be in the best interests of Inflection Point, simultaneously with the completion of the Business Combination, to effect the Domestication. Further, the Inflection Point Board believes that any direct benefit that the DGCL provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation. In addition, because New Intuitive Machines will operate within the United States following the Business Combination, it was the view of the Inflection Point Board that New Intuitive Machines should be structured as a corporation organized in the United States.

The Inflection Point Board believes that there are several reasons why a reincorporation in Delaware is in the best interests of Inflection Point and its shareholders. These additional reasons can be summarized as follows:

        Prominence, Predictability and Flexibility of Delaware Law.    For many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in its state and, in furtherance of that policy, has been a leader in adopting, construing, and implementing comprehensive, flexible corporate laws responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations organized under its laws. Many corporations have chosen Delaware initially as a state of incorporation or have subsequently changed corporate domicile to Delaware. Because of Delaware’s prominence as the state of incorporation for many major corporations, both the legislature and courts in Delaware have demonstrated the ability and a willingness to act quickly and effectively to meet changing business needs. The DGCL is frequently revised and updated to accommodate changing legal and business needs and is more comprehensive, widely used and interpreted than other state corporate laws. This favorable corporate and regulatory environment is attractive to businesses such as ours.

160

Table of Contents

        Well-Established Principles of Corporate Governance.    There is substantial judicial precedent in the Delaware courts as to the legal principles applicable to measures that may be taken by a corporation and to the conduct of a company’s board of directors, such as under the business judgment rule and other standards. Because the judicial system is based largely on legal precedents, the abundance of Delaware case law provides clarity and predictability to many areas of corporate law. We believe such clarity would be advantageous to New Intuitive Machines, the New Intuitive Machines Board and management to make corporate decisions and take corporate actions with greater assurance as to the validity and consequences of those decisions and actions. Further, investors and securities professionals are generally more familiar with Delaware corporations, and the laws governing such corporations, increasing their level of comfort with Delaware corporations relative to other jurisdictions. The Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues, and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to corporate legal affairs. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for New Intuitive Machines’ stockholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

        Increased Ability to Attract and Retain Qualified Directors.    Reincorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware is attractive to directors, officers, and stockholders alike. New Intuitive Machines’ incorporation in Delaware may make New Intuitive Machines more attractive to future candidates for the New Intuitive Machines Board, because many such candidates are already familiar with Delaware corporate law from their past business experiences. To date, we have not experienced difficulty in retaining directors or officers, but directors of public companies are exposed to significant potential liability. Thus, candidates’ familiarity and comfort with Delaware laws — especially those relating to director indemnification (as discussed below) — draw such qualified candidates to Delaware corporations. The Inflection Point Board therefore believes that providing the benefits afforded directors by Delaware law will enable New Intuitive Machines to compete more effectively with other public companies in the recruitment of talented and experienced directors and officers. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for our stockholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

The frequency of claims and litigation pursued against directors and officers has greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers of corporations in carrying out their respective duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to such claims and to defend such litigation can be substantial. While both Cayman Islands and Delaware law permit a corporation to include a provision in its governing documents to reduce or eliminate the monetary liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty in certain circumstances, we believe that, in general, Delaware law is more developed and provides more guidance than Cayman Islands law on matters regarding a company’s ability to limit director liability. As a result, we believe that the corporate environment afforded by Delaware will enable New Intuitive Machines to compete more effectively with other public companies in attracting and retaining new directors.

Reasons for the Name Change

The Inflection Point Board believes that it would be in the best interests of Inflection Point to, in connection with the Domestication and simultaneously with the Business Combination, change its corporate name to “Intuitive Machines, Inc.” in order to more accurately reflect the business purpose and activities of New Intuitive Machines.

Regulatory Approvals; Third-Party Consents

Inflection Point is not required to make any filings or to obtain any approvals or clearances from any antitrust regulatory authorities in the United States or other countries in order to complete the Domestication. However, because the Domestication must occur simultaneously with the Business Combination, it will not occur unless the Business Combination can be completed, which will require the approvals as described under the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal.” Inflection Point must comply with applicable United States federal and state securities laws in connection with the Domestication.

The Domestication will not breach any covenants or agreements binding upon Inflection Point and will not be subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirements, except compliance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and Delaware necessary to effect the Domestication.

Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws

Commencing with the effective time of the Domestication, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws will govern the rights of stockholders in New Intuitive Machines.

A chart comparing your rights as a holder of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares as a Cayman Islands exempted company with your rights as a holder of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock can be found in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Domestication Proposal — Comparison of Shareholder Rights under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After Domestication.”

Comparison of Shareholder Rights under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After Domestication

When the Domestication is completed, the rights of stockholders of New Intuitive Machines will be governed by Delaware law, including the DGCL, rather than by the laws of the Cayman Islands. Certain differences exist between the DGCL and the Companies Act that will alter certain of the rights of shareholders of Inflection Point and affect the powers of the New Intuitive Machines Board and management following the Domestication.

Shareholders should consider the following summary comparison of the laws of the Cayman Islands, on the one hand, and the DGCL, on the other. This comparison is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL and the Companies Act.

The owners of a Delaware corporation’s shares are referred to as “stockholders.” For purposes of language consistency, in certain sections of this proxy statement/prospectus, we may continue to refer to the share owners of New Intuitive Machines as “shareholders.”

Requirements for Stockholder/Shareholder Approval

 

Subject to the certificate of incorporation, stockholder approval of mergers, a sale of all or substantially all the assets of the corporation, dissolution and amendments of constitutional documents require a majority of outstanding shares; most other stockholder approvals require a majority of those present and voting, provided a quorum is present.

 

Subject to the articles of association, matters which require shareholder approval, whether under Cayman Islands statute or the company’s articles of association, are determined (subject to quorum requirements, the Companies Act, applicable law and the relevant articles of association) by ordinary resolution, being the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares, who, being present in person or proxy and entitled to vote, vote at the meeting of shareholders or by “special resolution” (such as the amendment of the company’s constitutional documents), being the approval of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, vote at the meeting of shareholders.

Requirement for Quorum

 

Quorum is a majority of shares entitled to vote at the meeting unless otherwise set in the constitutional documents, but cannot be less than one-third of shares entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

Quorum is set in the company’s memorandum and articles of association.

Stockholder/Shareholder Consent to Action Without Meeting

 

Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, stockholders may act by written consent.

 

Shareholder action by written resolutions (whether unanimous or otherwise) may be permitted by the articles of association. The articles of association may provide that shareholders may not act by written resolutions.

Inspection of Books and Records

 

Any stockholder may inspect the corporation’s books and records for a proper purpose during the usual hours for business.

 

Shareholders generally do not have any rights to inspect or obtain copies of the register of members or other corporate records of a company.

Stockholder/Shareholder Lawsuits

 

A stockholder may bring a derivative suit subject to procedural requirements (including adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum as per the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5D).

 

In the Cayman Islands, the decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company’s board of directors. A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company only in certain limited circumstances.

Removal of Directors;

 

Any director or the entire board may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, except as follows: (1) unless the certificate of incorporation otherwise provides, in the case of a corporation with a classified board, stockholders may effect such removal only for cause; or (2) in the case of a corporation having cumulative voting, if less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against such director’s removal would be sufficient to elect such director if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire board. However, because the New Intuitive Machines Board will be classified after the Closing, pursuant to the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, a director may be removed from office only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote in any annual election of directors or class of directors, voting together as a single class.

 

A company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide that a director may be removed for any or no reason and that, in addition to shareholders, boards may be granted the power to remove a director.

Number of Directors

 

The number of directors is fixed by the bylaws, unless the certificate of incorporation fixes the number of directors, in which case a change in the number of directors shall be made only by amendment of the certificate of incorporation. The bylaws may provide that the board may increase the size of the board and fill any vacancies.

 

Subject to the memorandum and articles of association, the board may increase the size of the board and fill any vacancies.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

A corporation is generally permitted to indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding because such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred if the person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. If the action was brought by or on behalf of the corporation, no indemnification is made when a person is adjudged liable to the corporation unless a court determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses the court deems proper.

 

A Cayman Islands exempted company generally may indemnify its directors or officers, except with regard to fraud or willful default.

Limited Liability of Directors

 

Permits the limiting or eliminating of the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders, except with regard to breaches of duty of loyalty, intentional misconduct, unlawful stock repurchases or dividends, or improper personal benefit.

 

Liability of directors may be limited, except with regard to their own fraud or willful default.

Accounting Treatment of the Domestication

The Domestication is being proposed solely for the purpose of changing the legal domicile of Inflection Point. There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities of Inflection Point as a result of the Domestication. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and financial statements of Inflection Point immediately following the Domestication will be the same as those immediately prior to the Domestication.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. The holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will have no right to vote on the Domestication Proposal. The failure to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.

The Domestication Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Domestication Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

THE STOCK ISSUANCE PROPOSAL

Overview

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal and the other Condition Precedent Proposals are approved, Inflection Point’s shareholders are also being asked to approve, by ordinary resolution, the Stock Issuance Proposal.

Why Inflection Point Needs Shareholder Approval

We are seeking shareholder approval in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a) and (b). Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of another company if such securities are not issued in a public offering for cash and (A) have, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock); or (B) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities. Collectively, New Intuitive Machines may issue securities representing 20% or more of our outstanding common stock or 20% or more of the voting power, in each case outstanding before the issuance, pursuant to the issuance of common stock and securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with the Business Combination.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), shareholder approval is required when any issuance or potential issuance will result in a “change of control” of the issuer. Although Nasdaq has not adopted any rule on what constitutes a “change of control” for purposes of Rule 5635(b), Nasdaq has previously indicated that the acquisition of, or right to acquire, by a single investor or affiliated investor group, as little as 20% of the common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) or voting power of an issuer could constitute a change of control.

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Inflection Point expects to issue (i) (A) 26,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into a number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, Which is determined by dividing the Accrued Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) of such share of Series A Preferred Stock by the conversion price of $12.00 per share, subject to adjustment. and (B) and Preferred Investor Warrants to purchase 541,667 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $15.00 per share, subject to adjustment, to the Series A Investors in connection with the Series A Investment, (ii) up to an estimated 1,874,291 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock to the Intuitive Machines Members other than the Intuitive Machines Founders and (iii) up to an estimated 78,125,709 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock to the Intuitive Machines Founders. Inflection Point may issue additional common stock and securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock pursuant to subscription, purchase or similar agreements it may enter into prior to Closing. For further details, see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Ownership Summary.”

Accordingly, the aggregate number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock that New Intuitive Machines will issue in connection with the Business Combination and that will be issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and Preferred Investor Warrants that New Intuitive Machines will issue in connection with the Series A Investment will exceed 20% of both the voting power and the shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock outstanding before such issuance and may result in a change of control of the registrant, and for these reasons, Inflection Point is seeking the approval of Inflection Point shareholders for the issuance of (i) (A) 26,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at an initial conversion price determined by dividing the Accrued Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock by the conversion price of $12.00 per share, subject to adjustment, the holder’s option), (B) and Preferred Investor Warrants to purchase 541,667 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $15.00 per share, subject to adjustment, to the Series A Investors in connection with the Series A Investment and (C) the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Preferred Investor Warrants, (ii) up to an estimated 1,874,291 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock to the Intuitive Machines Members other than the Intuitive Machines Founders, (iii) up to an estimated 78,125,709 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock to the Intuitive Machines Founders and (iv) any other issuances of common stock and securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock pursuant to subscription, purchase or similar agreements we may enter into prior to Closing.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal.

Therefore, if each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Stock Issuance Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that, for the purposes of complying with the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, the issuance of (i) shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Preferred Investor Warrants to the Series A Investors in connection with the Series A Investment, (ii) New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock to the Intuitive Machines Members and (iii) any other issuances of common stock and securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock pursuant to subscription, purchase or similar agreements Inflection Point has entered, or may enter, into prior to Closing, be approved in all respects.”

If the Business Combination Proposal and the other Condition Precedent Proposals are approved and the Business Combination is consummated, Inflection Point will replace the current amended and restated memorandum of association of Inflection Point (as may be amended from time to time) under the Companies Act (the “Existing Memorandum”) and the current amended and restated articles of association of Inflection Point (as may be amended from time to time) (the “Existing Articles” and, together with the Existing Memorandum, the “Cayman Constitutional Documents”), in each case, under the Companies Act, with a proposed new certificate of incorporation (the “Proposed Certificate of Incorporation”) and proposed new bylaws (the “Proposed Bylaws” and, together with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the “Proposed Organizational Documents”) of New Intuitive Machines in each case, pursuant to the DGCL. Under the Business Combination Agreement, the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal is also a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Inflection Point’s shareholders are asked to consider and vote upon and to adopt the Proposed Organizational Documents (collectively, the “Organizational Documents Proposal”) in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents.

Reasons for the Amendments

The Inflection Point Board’s reasons for proposing the Proposed Organizational Documents are set forth below. The following is a summary of the key changes effected by the Proposed Organizational Documents, but this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is included as Annex C, and by reference to the full text of the Proposed Bylaws, a copy of which is included as Annex D:

        To change the corporate name from “Inflection Point Acquisition Corp.” to “Intuitive Machines, Inc.”;

        To increase the total number of shares of our capital stock from (a) 500,000,000 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares, 50,000,000 Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares and 5,000,000 preference shares, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share, of Inflection Point to (b) 725,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines capital stock which consists of (A) 500,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, (B) 100,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock, (C) 100,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock and (D) 25,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

        amend the terms of the shares, in particular to provide that each share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and each share of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock each have one vote and each share of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock has three votes;

        amend the terms for the authorizations of shares of New Intuitive Machines;

        To authorize all other changes in connection with the replacement of Cayman Constitutional Documents with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively).

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolutions to be passed is as follows:

RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that the Cayman Constitutional Documents currently in effect be amended and restated by the deletion in their entirety and the substitution in their place of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws in the form attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively, with effect from the registration of Inflection Point in the State of Delaware as a corporation with the laws of the State of Delaware and conditional upon, and with effect from, the registration of Inflection Point in the State of Delaware as a corporation with the laws of the State of Delaware, the name of Inflection Point be changed to Intuitive Machines, Inc.”

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution under the Companies Act, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

The Organizational Documents Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote all the Founder Shares and any Public Shares it may hold in favor of the Organizational Documents Proposal.

Recommendation of the Inflection Point Board

THE INFLECTION POINT BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT INFLECTION POINT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Inflection Point’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Inflection Point and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, the Sponsor and Inflection Point’s officers also have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Inflection Point Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion.

THE ADVISORY ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSALS

If the Business Combination Proposal, the other Condition Precedent Proposals, including the Organizational Documents Proposal, are approved and the Business Combination is consummated, Inflection Point will replace the Cayman Constitutional Documents, under the Companies Act, with the Proposed Organizational Documents of New Intuitive Machines, under the DGCL.

Inflection Point’s shareholders are asked to consider and vote upon and to approve on a non-binding advisory basis by special resolution seven separate proposals (collectively, the “Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals”) in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents with the Proposed Organizational Documents. These seven proposals are being presented separately in accordance with SEC guidance to give shareholders the opportunity to present their separate views on important corporate governance provisions and will be voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis. This separate vote is not otherwise required by Cayman or Delaware law, but pursuant to SEC guidance, Inflection Point is required to submit these provisions to its shareholders separately for approval. The shareholder votes regarding these proposals are advisory in nature, and are not binding on Inflection Point, the Inflection Point Board, Intuitive Machines or the New Intuitive Machines Board. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals (separate and apart from the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal). Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on these proposals, Inflection Point intends that the Proposed Organizational Documents will take effect from the registration of Inflection Point in the State of Delaware as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, assuming approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposals.

The Proposed Organizational Documents differ materially from the Cayman Constitutional Documents. The following table sets forth a summary of the principal changes proposed between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Cayman Constitutional Documents of Inflection Point, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B, the complete text of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and the complete text of the Proposed Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D. All shareholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Organizational Documents in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms. Additionally, as the Cayman Constitutional Documents are governed by the Companies Act and the Proposed Organizational Documents will be governed by the DGCL, Inflection Point encourages shareholders to carefully consult the information set out under the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Domestication Proposal”— Comparison of Shareholder Rights Under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After Domestication.”

See Section 8.1 of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

Reasons for Amendments

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5A — Authorized Shares

The principal purpose of this proposal is to provide for an authorized capital structure of New Intuitive Machines that will enable it to continue as an operating company governed by the DGCL. The Inflection Point Board believes that it is important for Inflection Point to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines preferred stock sufficient to support growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are (a) 32,975,000 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, (b) 8,243,750 Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding and (c) no Inflection Point preference shares issued and outstanding. In addition, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is an aggregate of (i) 16,487,500 Public Warrants and (ii) 6,845,000 Private Placement Warrants, in each case,

173

Table of Contents

issued and outstanding. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement, the Inflection Point Warrants will be exercisable after giving effect to the Business Combination for one share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share subject to adjustment.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, New Intuitive Machines will issue or, as applicable, reserve for issuance in respect of an aggregate of 209,480,251 shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock to New Intuitive Machines stockholders.

In order to ensure that New Intuitive Machines has sufficient authorized capital for future issuances, the Inflection Point Board has approved, subject to shareholder approval, that the Proposed Organizational Documents of New Intuitive Machines change the authorized capital stock of Inflection Point from (a) 500,000,000 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares, 50,000,000 Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Shares and 5,000,000 Inflection Point Preference Shares to (b) 725,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock (consisting of (A) 500,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, (B) 100,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock) and (C) 100,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock and (D) 25,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines preferred stock.

This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Organizational Documents of New Intuitive Machines, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D. All shareholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Organizational Documents in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5B — Multiple Class Common Stock Structure

The voting power of the New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock is necessary to give the Intuitive Machines Founders comparable control rights over New Intuitive Machines as they currently have in Intuitive Machines. The Inflection Point Board believes that New Intuitive Machines’ success rests on its ability to undertake a long-term view and the Intuitive Machines Founders’ controlling interest will enhance New Intuitive Machines’ ability to focus on long-term value creation and help insulate New Intuitive Machines from short-term outside influences. The Intuitive Machines Founders’ voting control also provides New Intuitive Machines with flexibility to employ various financing and transaction strategies involving the issuance of equity securities, while maintaining the Intuitive Machines Founders’ control.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5C — Sunset Provision for New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock

Adopting the sunset provision would provide for equal voting rights to stockholders in the event that the Intuitive Machines Founders collectively cease to beneficially own at least 33% of the number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock collectively held by them as of immediately following the Closing. If such a sunset provision is triggered, we believe that the control rights provided to the Intuitive Machines Founders as a result of the dual class structure would no longer be appropriate and that sound governance principles would provide for a “one share, one vote” structure in which every share of common stock has equal voting rights.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5D — Exclusive Forum Provision

Adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation is intended to assist New Intuitive Machines in avoiding multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions regarding the same matter. The ability to require such claims to be brought in a single forum will help to assure consistent consideration of the issues, the application of a relatively known body of case law and level of expertise and should promote efficiency and cost-savings in the resolutions of such claims. The Inflection Point Board believes that the Delaware courts are best suited to address disputes involving such matters given that after the Domestication, New Intuitive Machines will be incorporated in Delaware. Delaware law generally applies to such matters and the Delaware courts have a reputation for expertise in corporate law matters. Delaware offers a specialized Court of Chancery to address corporate law matters, with streamlined procedures and processes, which help provide relatively quick decisions. This accelerated schedule can minimize the time, cost and uncertainty of litigation for all parties. The Court of Chancery has developed considerable expertise with respect to corporate law issues, as well as a substantial and influential body of case law construing Delaware’s corporate law

174

Table of Contents

and long-standing precedent regarding corporate governance. This provides stockholders and New Intuitive Machines with more predictability regarding the outcome of intra-corporate disputes. In the event the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the other state courts located in Delaware would be the most appropriate forums because these courts have more expertise on matters of Delaware law compared to other jurisdictions. The Inflection Point Board further believes that providing that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving actions arising under the Securities Act, provides the flexibility to file such suits in any federal district court while providing the benefits of eliminating duplicative litigation and having such cases heard by courts that are well-versed in the applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will provide that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction.

In addition, this amendment would promote judicial fairness and avoid conflicting results, as well as make New Intuitive Machines’ defense of applicable claims less disruptive and more economically feasible, principally by avoiding duplicative discovery.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5E — Adoption of Supermajority Vote Requirement to Amend the Proposed Organizational Documents

The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that amendments may be made by a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at a general meeting, vote at a general meeting. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding shares to amend, alter, repeal or rescind any provision of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, other than Articles I (Name), II (Registered Address), and III (Nature of Business), which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation permits New Intuitive Machines Board to amend, alter, repeal or rescind the Proposed Bylaws without the consent or vote of the stockholders of New Intuitive Machines.

The Proposed Bylaws adopt provisions permitting holders of outstanding shares of capital stock to adopt, amend or repeal the Proposed Bylaws, provided they receive the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the voting power.

The amendments are intended to protect the Proposed Organizational Documents from arbitrary amendment and to prevent a simple majority of stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to other stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all stockholders.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5F — Removal of Directors

The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that Inflection Point shareholders may remove any director by an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of holders of a simple majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at a general meeting and who vote at the general meeting. The Proposed Organizational Documents permit the removal of a director only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of New Intuitive Machines. The Inflection Point Board believes that such a standard will (a) increase board continuity and the likelihood that experienced board members with familiarity of New Intuitive Machines’ business operations would serve on the board at any given time and (ii) make it more difficult for a potential acquirer or other person, group or entity to gain control of the New Intuitive Machines Board.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 5G — Action by Written Consent of Stockholders

Under the Proposed Organizational Documents, New Intuitive Machines’ stockholders will have the ability to propose items of business (subject to the restrictions set forth therein) at duly convened stockholder meetings. The Proposed Organizational Documents provide that for so long as New Intuitive Machines qualifies as a controlled company under applicable Nasdaq rules, any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of New Intuitive Machines stockholders may be taken without a meeting if signed by the holders having not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted

175

Table of Contents

in compliance with the DGCL. From and after the date that New Intuitive Machines ceases to qualify as a controlled company, the Proposed Organizational Documents require stockholders to take action at an annual or special meeting and prohibit stockholder action by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

The Inflection Point Board believes that eliminating the right of stockholders to act by written consent after New Intuitive Machines ceases to qualify as a controlled company is appropriate to limit the circumstances under which stockholders can act on their own initiative to alter or amend the Proposed Organizational Documents outside of a duly called special or annual meeting of the stockholders of New Intuitive Machines.

In addition, the elimination of the stockholders’ ability to act by written consent after New Intuitive Machines ceases to qualify as a controlled company may have certain anti-takeover effects by forcing a potential acquirer to take control of the New Intuitive Machines Board only at duly called special or annual meetings. Inclusion of these provisions in the Proposed Organizational Documents might also increase the likelihood that a potential acquirer would negotiate the terms of any proposed transaction with New Intuitive Machines Board and thereby help protect stockholders from the use of abusive and coercive takeover tactics.

Resolutions to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be considered and if thought advisable, passed and approved is as follows:

RESOLVED, as a special resolution, on an advisory non-binding basis, that each of the material differences between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents as described in Proposals 5A-5G, be approved.”

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares who, being in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

As discussed above, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals are advisory votes and therefore are not binding on Inflection Point, the Inflection Point Board, Intuitive Machines or the New Intuitive Machines Board. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on these proposals, Inflection Point intends that the Proposed Organizational Documents will take effect from the registration of Inflection Point in the State of Delaware as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, assuming approval of the Business Combination Proposal, Organizational Document Proposal and the other Condition Precedent Proposal.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote all the Founder Shares and any Public Shares it may hold in favor of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal.

Recommendation of the Inflection Point Board

THE INFLECTION POINT BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT INFLECTION POINT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADVISORY ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSALS.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Inflection Point’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Inflection Point and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, the Sponsor and Inflection Point’s officers also have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Inflection Point Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Table of Contents

THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

Overview

Inflection Point is asking its shareholders to approve the New Intuitive Machines 2023 Long Term Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan”) and the material terms thereunder. The Inflection Point board of directors adopted the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, prior to the extraordinary general meeting, subject to shareholder approval at the extraordinary general meeting.

The New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan is described in more detail below. A copy of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex F.

Purpose of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan

The purpose of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan is to assist New Intuitive Machines in attracting and retaining key personnel and to providing a means whereby New Intuitive Machines’ employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors (and certain prospective directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors), can acquire and maintain an equity interest in New Intuitive Machines or be paid incentive compensation. We believe that the awards to be issued under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan will strengthen recipients’ commitment to the welfare of New Intuitive Machines and align their interests with those of stockholders.

Reasons for the Approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal

Stockholder approval of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan is necessary in order to (i) meet the stockholder approval requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market and (ii) grant incentive stock options (“ISOs”) thereunder. Specifically, approval of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan will constitute approval of the material terms of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan pursuant to the stockholder approval requirements of Section 422 of the Code relating to ISOs.

The New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan will become effective, if at all, upon the Closing of the Business Combination, subject to consummation of the Business Combination and subject to shareholder approval.

Material Terms of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan

The material terms of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan are summarized below, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, which is attached as Annex F to this proxy statement.

Administration.    A compensation committee of at least two people appointed by the New Intuitive Machines Board (or, if no such committee has been appointed, the New Intuitive Machines Board) (the “Committee”) will administer the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan. To the extent required to comply with the provisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (if the New Intuitive Machines Board is not acting as the Committee under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan), it is intended that each member of the Committee will, at the time it takes any action with respect to an award under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, be an “eligible director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. The Committee will generally have the authority to designate participants, determine the type or types of awards to be granted, the number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock to be covered by or payments to be made in connection with awards, determine the terms and conditions of any agreements evidencing any awards granted under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, modify any performance criteria and/or periods, accelerate the vesting or exercisability of, payment for or lapse of restrictions on, awards and to establish, amend, suspend or waive any rules and regulation deemed appropriate for proper administration of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan. The Committee will have full discretion to administer and interpret the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan and to make any other determinations and/or take any other action that it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, in each case, to the extent consistent with the terms of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, and any such determinations, designations, interpretations or decisions of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons and entities. The Committee may delegate to one or more officers of New Intuitive Machines or any affiliate the authority to act on behalf of the Committee with respect to any matter, right, obligation or election that is the responsibility of or that is allocated to the Committee in the New Intuitive Machines Incentive

177

Table of Contents

Plan and that may be so delegated as a matter of law, except for grants of awards to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding any other provision of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan to the contrary, awards granted to non-employee directors shall be administered by the full New Intuitive Machines Board, and any authority reserved under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan for the Committee with regard to awards granted to non-employee directors shall be exercised by the full New Intuitive Machines Board.

Eligibility.    Certain current employees, directors, advisors or consultants, or prospective employees, directors, or consultants who have accepted offers of employment or consultancy, of New Intuitive Machines or its affiliates, including Intuitive Machines OpCo, are eligible to participate in the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, it is expected that approximately 163 employees, zero consultants and advisors and seven of New Intuitive Machines’ non-executive officer directors will be eligible to participate in the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan.

Number of Shares Authorized.    The initial aggregate number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock that will be available for issuance under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan will be equal to 10% of the fully-diluted shares as of the Closing. For purposes of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, the calculation of fully-diluted shares will include (i) shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock outstanding on such date, (ii) shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock subject to compensatory equity awards (including stock options) outstanding on such date, with shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock subject to stock options calculated on a “net exercised” basis as of the applicable date, assuming shares are surrendered having a fair market value on such date equal to the exercise price of such options (rounded up to the nearest whole share, and determined without regard to the vested status of the stock option) and (iii) shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of other equity securities with respect to which shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock have not actually been issued and the conversion of all convertible securities into shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock, in each case, counted on an as-converted-to shares of New Intuitive Machines Common Stock basis.

Assuming a “no redemptions” scenario, the estimated number of fully-diluted shares as of the Closing will be 155,885,351; therefore, the maximum potential initial share limit for the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan as of the Closing will be 15,588,535. The maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) granted under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, will be 15,588,535.

In the event that any option or other award granted is exercised through the tendering of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock by New Intuitive Machines, or tax or deduction liabilities arising from such option or other award are satisfied by the tendering of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock by New Intuitive Machines, then in each such case the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock so tendered or withheld shall be added to the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock available for grant under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan on a one-for-one basis. Shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock underlying awards under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan that are forfeited, canceled, expire unexercised, or are settled in cash will be available again for issuance as new awards under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan but will count against the maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant awards in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity acquired by New Intuitive Machines or with which New Intuitive Machines combines (“Substitute Awards”). The number of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock underlying any Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the aggregate number of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock available for awards under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan.

The maximum aggregate value on the date of grant for awards (in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto) granted to any non-employee director pursuant to the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, when taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director in respect of his service as a non-employee director, during any fiscal year may not exceed a total value of $750,000, provided that the non-employee directors who are considered independent (under the rules of Nasdaq or other securities exchange on which the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock are traded) may make exceptions to this limit for a non-executive chair of the New Intuitive Machines Board, if any, in which case the non-employee director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation.

The New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan will have a term of not more than 10 years from the date it is approved by shareholders, and no further awards may be granted under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan after that date, provided, however, in the case of an ISO, no ISO shall be granted on or after 10 years from the earlier of (i) the date the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan is adopted by Inflection Point Board and (ii) date Inflection Point shareholders approve the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan.

Awards Available for Grant.    The Committee may grant awards of nonqualified stock options, ISOs, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, other cash-based awards, and dividend equivalents or any combination of the foregoing.

Options.    The Committee will be authorized to grant options to purchase shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock that are either “qualified,” meaning they are intended to (and do) satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code for ISOs, or “nonqualified,” meaning they are not intended to, or do not, satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. Options granted under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan will be subject to such terms, including the exercise price and the conditions and timing of exercise, as may be determined by the Committee, not inconsistent with the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, and specified in the applicable award agreement. In general, the exercise price per share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock for each option granted under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan will not be less than the fair market value of such share at the time of grant or, for purposes of ISOs, if granted to an employee who owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the combined voting power of all of New Intuitive Machines’ classes of stock, or of related corporation (a “10% Stockholder”), less than 110% of the fair market value of such share at the time of grant. The maximum term of an option granted under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan will be 10 years from the date of grant (or five years in the case of ISOs granted to a 10% Stockholder). However, if the option would expire at a time when the exercise of the option by means of a cashless exercise or net exercise method (to the extent such method is otherwise then permitted by the Committee for purposes of payment of the exercise price and/or applicable withholding taxes) would violate applicable securities laws or any securities trading policy adopted by New Intuitive Machines, the expiration date applicable to the option will be automatically extended to a date that is 30 calendar days following the date such cashless exercise or net exercise would no longer violate applicable securities laws or applicable securities trading policy (so long as such extension does not violate Section 409A of the Code), but not later than the expiration of the original exercise period. Payment in respect of the exercise of an option may be made in cash, by check or other cash equivalent, by surrender of unrestricted shares (at their fair market value on the date of exercise) that have been held by the participant for any period deemed necessary by New Intuitive Machines’ accountants to avoid an additional compensation charge or have been purchased on the open market, or the Committee may, in its discretion and to the extent permitted by law, allow such payment to be made through a broker-assisted cashless exercise mechanism, a net exercise method, the surrender of other property having a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price or by such other method as the Committee may determine to be appropriate and in accordance with applicable law.

Stock Appreciation Rights.    The Committee will be authorized to award SARs under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan. SARs will be subject to the terms and conditions established by the Committee, not inconsistent with the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, and reflected in the award agreement. A SAR is a contractual right that allows a participant to receive, either in the form of cash, shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock or any combination of cash and shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, the appreciation, if any, in the value of a share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock over a certain period of time. An option granted under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan may include tandem SARs, and SARs may also be awarded to a participant independent of the grant of an option. SARs granted in connection with an option will be subject to the same exercise and vesting schedule, as well as expiration provisions, as the option corresponding to such SARs. The strike price of SARs cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at the time of grant.

Restricted Stock.    The Committee will be authorized to award restricted stock under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan. Each award of restricted stock will be subject to the terms and conditions established by the Committee, including any dividend or voting rights. Restricted stock awards are shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, subject to certain specified performance or time-based restrictions, that generally are non-transferable and subject to other restrictions determined by the Committee for a specified restricted period. Unless the Committee determines otherwise or specifies otherwise in an award agreement, if the participant terminates employment or services during the restricted period, then any unvested restricted stock will be forfeited. Dividends, if any, that may have been withheld by the Committee will be distributed to the participant in cash or, at the sole discretion of the

179

Table of Contents

Committee, in shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the amount of such dividends, upon the release of any applicable restrictions, and if the applicable share is forfeited, the participant will have no right to such dividends (except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement).

Restricted Stock Unit Awards.    The Committee will be authorized to award restricted stock unit awards under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan. The Committee will determine the terms of such restricted stock unit awards. Restricted stock units are an unfunded and unsecured promise to deliver New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, cash, other securities or other property, subject to certain performance or time-based restrictions for a specified restricted period. Unless the Committee determines otherwise or specifies otherwise in an award agreement, if the participant terminates employment or services during the period of time over which all or a portion of the units are to vest, then any unvested units will be forfeited.

Other Stock-Based Awards.    The Committee may grant to participants other stock-based or equity related awards under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, which are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock. The form of any other stock-based awards will be determined by the Committee and may include a grant or offer for sale of unrestricted shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock. The number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock related to other stock-based awards and the terms and conditions, including performance goals or vesting conditions, of such other stock-based awards will be determined by the Committee. The Committee will determine the effect of a termination of employment or service on a participant’s other stock-based awards.

Other Cash-Based Awards.    The Committee may grant to participants a cash award that is not otherwise described by the terms of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, including cash awarded as a bonus or upon the attainment of performance goals or otherwise as permitted under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan. The form, terms, and conditions, including vesting conditions, of any other cash-based awards will be established by the Committee, and any other cash-based awards will be paid to participants in cash. The Committee will determine the effect of a termination of employment or service on a participant’s other cash-based awards.

Dividend Equivalents.    The Committee may provide for the payment of dividend equivalents with respect to shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock subject to any award, such as restricted stock units, but not on awards of stock options or SARs. Dividend equivalents may be credited as of the dividend payment dates, during the period between the grant date and the date the award becomes payable or terminates or expires, as determined by the Committee. However, unless the Committee specifies otherwise in an award agreement, dividend equivalents will not be payable unless and until the underlying award becomes payable and will be subject to forfeiture to the same extent as the underlying award. Dividend equivalents may be paid in cash, shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, or converted to full-value awards, calculated and subject to such limitations and restrictions as the Committee may determine.

Transferability.    Each award may be exercised during the participant’s lifetime only by the participant or, if permissible under applicable law, by the participant’s legal guardian or representative and may not be otherwise assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee, however, may permit awards (other than ISOs) to be transferred to family members, a trust for the benefit of such family members, a partnership or limited liability company whose partners or stockholders are the participant and his or her family members or anyone else approved by the Committee or New Intuitive Machines Board or as provided in the applicable award agreement.

Amendment and Termination.    In general, the New Intuitive Machines Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan or any portion thereof at any time. However, stockholder approval may be obtained for any amendment to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws. No amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination may materially and adversely affect the rights of any participant or any holder or beneficiary of any award without the consent of such participant, holder or beneficiary.

Corporate Transactions.    If there is any change in New Intuitive Machines’ corporate capitalization, including in the event of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan), the Committee as it determines in its sole discretion to be necessary or appropriate, in a manner subject to applicable law and that the Committee may deem equitable, may adjust the number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock or other securities of New Intuitive Machines (or number and kind of other securities or other property) subject to an award or reserved

180

Table of Contents

for issuance under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, the exercise or strike price of an award, or any applicable performance measure, and may provide for the substitution or assumption of outstanding awards in a manner that substantially preserves the terms of such awards, the acceleration of the exercisability, vesting of or lapse of restrictions applicable to outstanding awards and the cancellation of outstanding awards in exchange for the consideration received by stockholders of New Intuitive Machines in connection with such Change in Control transaction.

Repricings.    The Committee may, without approval of the stockholders, reduce the exercise price of any stock option or SAR, or cancel any stock option or SAR in exchange for cash, other awards or stock options or SARs with an exercise price per share that is less than the exercise price per share of the original stock options or SARs.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a general summary under current law of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences related to awards under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan applicable to U.S. participants. This summary deals with the general federal income tax principles that apply (based upon provisions of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, as well as judicial and administrative interpretations under the Code and Treasury Regulations, all as in effect as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, and all of which are subject to change (possibly on a retroactive basis) or different interpretation) and is provided only for general information. Other kinds of taxes, such as state, local and foreign income taxes and federal employment taxes, are not discussed. This summary is not intended as tax advice to participants, who should consult their own tax advisors.

Non-Qualified Stock Options.    If a participant is granted a non-qualified stock option under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan, the participant should not have taxable income on the grant of the option. Generally, the participant should recognize ordinary income at the time of exercise in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares acquired on the date of exercise, less the exercise price paid for the shares. The participant’s basis in the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock for purposes of determining gain or loss on a subsequent sale or disposition of such shares generally will be the fair market value of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock on the date the participant exercises such option. New Intuitive Machines or its subsidiaries or affiliates generally should be entitled to a federal income tax deduction, subject to applicable limitations, at the same time and for the same amount as the participant recognizes as ordinary income. Any subsequent gain or loss generally will be taxable as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss for which New Intuitive Machines or its subsidiaries or affiliates generally should not be entitled to a deduction.

Incentive Stock Options.    A participant receiving ISOs should not recognize taxable income upon grant. Additionally, if applicable holding period requirements are met, the participant should not recognize taxable income at the time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the shares of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock received over the option exercise price is an item of tax preference income potentially subject to the alternative minimum tax. The federal alternative minimum tax may produce significant tax repercussions depending upon the participant’s particular tax status.

If stock acquired upon exercise of an ISO is held for a minimum of two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of exercise and otherwise satisfies the ISO requirements, the gain or loss (in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value on the date of disposition and the exercise price) upon disposition of the stock will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss, and New Intuitive Machines (or its subsidiaries or affiliates) will not be entitled to any corresponding deduction. If the holding period requirements are not met, the ISO will be treated as a nonqualified stock option, and the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time of the disposition equal to the excess of the amount realized over the exercise price, but not more than the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the ISO is exercised over the exercise price, with any remaining gain or loss being treated as capital gain or capital loss. In addition, to the extent that the fair market value (determined as of the date of grant) of the shares with respect to which a participant’s ISOs are exercisable for the first time during any year exceeds $100,000, the ISOs for the shares over $100,000 will be treated as nonqualified stock options, and not ISOs, for federal tax purposes, and the participant will recognize income as if the ISOs were actually nonqualified stock options. New Intuitive Machines and its subsidiaries and affiliates are not entitled to a tax deduction upon either the exercise of an ISO or upon disposition of the shares acquired pursuant to such exercise, except to the extent that the participant recognizes ordinary income on disposition of the shares.

Stock Appreciation Rights.    Generally, a participant will recognize ordinary income upon the receipt of payment pursuant to SARs in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of cash and the fair market value of any New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock received. Subject to applicable limitations, New Intuitive Machines or its subsidiaries or affiliates generally will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction equal to the amount includible in the participant’s income.

181

Table of Contents

Restricted Stock.    A participant should not have taxable income on the grant of unvested restricted stock, nor will New Intuitive Machines or its subsidiaries or affiliates then be entitled to any deduction, unless the participant makes a valid election under Section 83(b) of the Code (discussed below). However, when restrictions on shares of restricted stock lapse, such that the shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income, and New Intuitive Machines or its subsidiaries or affiliates generally will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, subject to applicable limitations, in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares at the date such restrictions lapse and the purchase price, if any, paid for the restricted stock.

If the participant makes a valid election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to restricted stock, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income at the date of issuance of the restricted stock in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the shares on that date and the purchase price, if any, paid for the restricted stock, and New Intuitive Machines or its subsidiaries or affiliates generally will be entitled to a deduction for the same amount, subject to applicable limitations.

Restricted Stock Units.    A participant generally will not recognize taxable income at the time of the grant of restricted stock units, and neither New Intuitive Machines nor its subsidiaries or affiliates will be entitled to a deduction at that time. When a restricted stock unit is paid, whether in cash or New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, the participant will have ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares delivered or the cash paid, and New Intuitive Machines or its subsidiaries or affiliates generally will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, subject to applicable limitations.

Other Stock-Based Awards; Other Cash-Based Awards; Dividend Equivalents.    Generally, the granting of other stock-based awards, other cash-based awards, or dividend equivalent rights should not result in the recognition of taxable income by the recipient or a tax deduction by New Intuitive Machines or its subsidiaries or affiliates. The payment or settlement of other stock-based awards, other cash-based awards, or dividend equivalent rights generally should result in immediate recognition of taxable ordinary income by the recipient, equal to the amount of any cash paid or the then-current fair market value of any New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock received, and a corresponding tax deduction, subject to applicable limitations. If the shares covered by the award are not transferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the tax consequences generally will be similar to the tax consequences of restricted stock awards, as described above. If any other stock-based award consists of unrestricted shares, the recipient of those shares generally will immediately recognize as taxable ordinary income the fair market value of those shares on the date of the award, and New Intuitive Machines generally will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction, subject to applicable limitations.

Section 409A of the Code.    Certain types of awards under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan may constitute, or provide for, a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code. Unless certain requirements set forth in Section 409A of the Code are complied with, holders of such awards may be taxed earlier than would otherwise be the case (e.g., at the time of vesting instead of the time of payment) and may be subject to an additional 20% penalty tax (and, potentially, certain interest penalties and additional state taxes). To the extent applicable, the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan and awards granted under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan are intended to be structured and interpreted in a manner intended to either comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other authoritative guidance that may be issued under Section 409A of the Code. To the extent determined necessary and appropriate by the Committee, the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan and applicable award agreements may be amended to further comply with Section 409A of the Code or to exempt the applicable awards from Section 409A of the Code.

Interest of Directors and Executive Officers

All members of the New Intuitive Machines Board and all of New Intuitive Machines executive officers will eligible for awards under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan and, thus, have a personal interest in the approval of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan. Nevertheless, the Inflection Point Board believes that it is important to provide incentives and rewards for superior performance and the retention of executive officers and experienced directors by adopting the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan.

New Plan Benefits

In connection with the Business Combination, we intend to approve and implement a compensation program (the “Director Compensation Program”), which is described in further detail elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Under the Director Compensation Program, we expect to grant to each of our non-employee directors (each, an

182

Table of Contents

Eligible Director”), a restricted stock unit award covering shares of our Class A common stock under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan (each, an “RSU Award”) at the first annual stockholders meeting to occur after the closing of the Business Combination. Each of these RSU Awards will have an aggregate value of $155,000 and will vest in full on the earlier to occur of the first anniversary of the grant date and the date of the next annual meeting following the grant date, subject to continued service.

Other than these RSU Awards, the benefits or amounts that may be received or allocated to directors, officers and employees under the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan will be determined at the discretion of the plan administrator and are not currently determinable.

Vote Required

The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal. If the Business Combination is not approved, the Incentive Plan Proposal will not be presented at the extraordinary general meeting. The Incentive Plan Proposal will only become effective if the Business Combination is completed.

The Closing is conditioned on the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal. It is important for you to note that in the event that the Incentive Plan Proposal does not receive the requisite vote for approval, we may not consummate the Business Combination.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that Inflection Point’s adoption of the New Intuitive Machines Incentive Plan be approved, ratified and confirmed in all respects.”

Recommendation of the Inflection Point Board

THE INFLECTION POINT BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT INFLECTION POINT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL.

Table of Contents

THE DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL

Election of Directors

Pursuant to the Business Combination, Inflection Point has agreed to take all necessary action, including causing the members of the Inflection Point Board to resign, so that effective at the Closing, the entire New Intuitive Machines Board will consist of five (5) individuals. The directors will be classified into three classes, with each director holding office for a three-year term or until the next annual meeting of stockholders at which such director’s class is up for election and where his or her successor is elected and qualified.

Inflection Point is proposing the approval by ordinary resolution of the election of the following individuals, who will take office immediately following the Closing and who will constitute all the members of the New Intuitive Machines Board: (i) Lieutenant General William Liquori and Robert Masson as Class I directors, (ii) Michael Blitzer as Class II director, and (iii) Stephen Altemus and Dr. Kamal Ghaffarian as Class III directors.

If elected, the Class I directors will serve until the first annual meeting of stockholders of New Intuitive Machines to be held following the date of Closing; the Class II directors will serve until the second annual meeting of stockholders of New Intuitive Machines following the date of Closing; and the Class III directors will serve until the third annual meeting of stockholders of New Intuitive Machines to be held following the date of Closing. In addition, it is anticipated that Dr. Kamal Ghaffarian will be designated as Chairman of the New Intuitive Machines Board. Each of Michael Blitzer and Lieutenant General William Liquori are expected to qualify as an independent director under Nasdaq listing standards.

There are no family relationships among any of New Intuitive Machines’ directors and executive officers.

Subject to other provisions in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the number of directors that constitutes the entire New Intuitive Machines Board will be fixed solely by resolution of the New Intuitive Machines Board. Each director of the New Intuitive Machines Board will hold office until the expiration of the term for which he or she is elected and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation, death, disqualification or removal.

Under the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to the rights of holders of New Intuitive Machines preferred stock with respect to the election of directors, the directors of New Intuitive Machines will be divided into three classes as nearly equal in size as is practicable, hereby designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The New Intuitive Machines Board may assign members of the New Intuitive Machines Board already in office to such classes at the time such classification becomes effective. The term of office of the initial Class I directors of New Intuitive Machines will expire at the first regularly-scheduled annual meeting of its stockholders, the term of office of the initial Class II directors of New Intuitive Machines will expire at the second annual meeting of its stockholders, and the term of office of the initial Class III directors of New Intuitive Machines will expire at the third annual meeting of its stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders, commencing with the first regularly-scheduled annual meeting of stockholders, each of the successors elected to replace the directors of a class of director whose term will have expired at such annual meeting will be elected to hold office until the third annual meeting next succeeding his or her election and until his or her respective successor will have been duly elected and qualified.

If the number of directors is hereafter changed, any increase or decrease in directorships will be so apportioned among the classes by the New Intuitive Machines Board as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as is practicable, provided that no decrease in the number of directors constituting the New Intuitive Machines Board will shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Subject to the rights of holders of any series of New Intuitive Machines Preferred Stock with respect to the election of directors for so long as the New Intuitive Machines Board is classified, any director may be removed from office by the stockholders of the New Intuitive Machines Board only for cause. Vacancies occurring on the New Intuitive Machines Board for any reason and newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled only by vote of a majority of the remaining members of the New Intuitive Machines Board, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and not by stockholders of New Intuitive Machines. A person so elected by the New Intuitive Machines Board to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship will hold office until the next election of the class for which such director will have been chosen and until his or her successor will be duly elected and qualified.

The Director Election Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Director Election Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares.

Recommendation of the Inflection Point Board

THE INFLECTION POINT BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” ELECTION OF EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES TO THE NEW INTUITIVE MACHINES BOARD.

The existence of financial and personal interests of Inflection Point’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Inflection Point and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, the Sponsor and Inflection Point’s officers also have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Inflection Point Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Table of Contents

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The Adjournment Proposal allows the Inflection Point Board to submit a proposal to approve, by ordinary resolution, the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the extraordinary general meeting to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals. The purpose of the Adjournment Proposal is to permit further solicitation of proxies and votes and to provide additional time for the Sponsor, Inflection Point and their members and shareholders, respectively, to make purchases of Inflection Point Ordinary Shares or other arrangements that would increase the likelihood of obtaining a favorable vote on the proposals to be put to the extraordinary general meeting, or otherwise increase the likelihood of closing the Business Combination. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Inflection Point Persons in the Business Combination”.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is presented to the extraordinary general meeting and is not approved by the shareholders, the Inflection Point Board may not be able to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date (i) in the event that, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the extraordinary general meeting to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals, in which event, the Business Combination would not be completed, and (ii) in the event that adjourning the extraordinary general meeting to a later date would allow for additional time for arrangements that would increase the likelihood of closing the Business Combination, in which event the likelihood of the Business Combination closing would be decreased.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Inflection Point Ordinary Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal.

The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon any other proposal.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting, or otherwise to increase the likelihood of consummating the Business Combination, be approved.”

Recommendation of the Inflection Point Board

THE INFLECTION POINT BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of Inflection Point’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Inflection Point and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, the Sponsor and Inflection Point’s officers also have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder.

The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations (a) for U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (each as defined below, and together, “Holders”) of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and Public Warrants (each, an “Inflection Point Security”) of the Domestication, (b) for Holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares that exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, and (c) for Holders of the ownership and disposition of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants (each, a “New Intuitive Machines Security”). With respect to the ownership and disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities, this discussion is limited to (x) New Intuitive Machines Securities received in connection with the Domestication and (y) New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock received upon the exercise of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants. This section applies only to Holders that hold their Inflection Point Securities and New Intuitive Machines Securities as “capital assets” for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment).

This discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences (i) to the Sponsor or its affiliates or any other sponsor, officers or directors of Inflection Point, or (ii) to any person holding Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, Series A Preferred Stock or Preferred Investor Warrants. This discussion is limited to U.S. federal income tax considerations and does not address any estate, gift or other U.S. federal non-income tax considerations or considerations arising under the tax laws of any U.S. state, or local or non-U.S. jurisdiction. This discussion does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to any particular investor in light of their particular circumstances, including the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on certain investment income and the different consequences that may apply to investors subject to special rules under U.S. federal income tax law, such as:

        banks, financial institutions or financial services entities;

        broker-dealers;

        taxpayers that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules with respect to the Inflection Point Securities or New Intuitive Machines Securities;

        tax-exempt entities;

        governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

        insurance companies;

        regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;

        partnerships (including entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or pass-through entities (including S Corporations), or persons that will hold the Inflection Point Securities or New Intuitive Machines Securities through such partnerships or pass-through entities;

        U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

        except as specifically provided below, persons that actually or constructively own five percent or more (by vote or value) of Inflection Point’s shares or New Intuitive Machines’ stock;

        persons that acquired their Inflection Point Securities or New Intuitive Machines Securities pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

        persons that hold their Inflection Point Securities or New Intuitive Machines Securities as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedge, wash sale, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction;

        U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; or

        “specified foreign corporations” (including “controlled foreign corporations”), “passive foreign investment companies” or corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax.

If a partnership (or any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Inflection Point Securities or New Intuitive Machines Securities, the tax treatment of such partnership and a person treated as a partner of such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Partnerships holding any Inflection Point Securities or New Intuitive Machines Securities and persons that are treated as partners of such partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of the Domestication, the exercise of redemption rights with respect to Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and the ownership and disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities.

This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax considerations described herein. Inflection Point has not sought, and does not intend to seek, any rulings from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax considerations described herein. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not take positions inconsistent with the considerations discussed below or that any such positions would not be sustained by a court.

THIS DISCUSSION IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DOMESTICATION, THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO INFLECTION POINT CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF NEW INTUITIVE MACHINES SECURITIESEACH HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE DOMESTICATION, THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO INFLECTION POINT CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF NEW INTUITIVE MACHINES SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

For purposes of this discussion, because the components of an Inflection Point Unit are generally separable at the option of the holder, the holder of an Inflection Point Unit generally should be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the owner of the underlying Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share and Inflection Point Warrant components of the Inflection Point Unit, and the discussion below with respect to actual Holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and Inflection Point Warrants also should apply to holders of Inflection Point Units (as the deemed owners of the underlying Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and Inflection Point Warrants that constitute the Inflection Point Units). Accordingly, the separation of an Inflection Point Unit into one Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share and the one-half of one Inflection Point Warrant underlying the Inflection Point Unit generally should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This position is not free from doubt, and no assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. Holders of Inflection Point Securities are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and any non-U.S. tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Domestication and the Business Combination (including the exercise of any redemption rights) with respect to any Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and Inflection Point Warrants held through Inflection Point Units (including alternative characterizations of Inflection Point Units).

I.    TAX TREATMENT OF THE DOMESTICATION

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Holders of the Domestication will depend primarily upon whether the Domestication qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code.

Under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a reorganization is a “mere change in identity, form, or place of organization of one corporation, however effected” (an “F Reorganization”). Pursuant to the Domestication, Inflection Point will change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware, and, in connection with the Closing, will be renamed “Intuitive Machines, Inc.”

White & Case LLP delivered an opinion that, based on customary assumptions, representations and covenants, the Domestication will qualify as an F Reorganization. Such opinion is filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part. The obligations of Inflection Point to undertake the Domestication and the Business Combination are not conditioned on the receipt of an opinion regarding the Domestication’s qualification as an F Reorganization. If any of the assumptions, representations or covenants on which the opinion is based is or becomes incorrect, incomplete, inaccurate or is otherwise not complied with, the validity of the opinion described above may be adversely affected and the tax consequences of the Domestication could differ from those

189

Table of Contents

described herein. An opinion of counsel represents counsel’s legal judgment and is not binding on the IRS or any court. Inflection Point has not requested, and does not intend to request, a ruling from the IRS as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below. Accordingly, each Holder of Inflection Point Securities is urged to consult its tax advisor with respect to the particular tax consequence of the Domestication to such Holder.

Assuming the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, the Domestication should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if Inflection Point (a) transferred all of its assets and liabilities to New Intuitive Machines in exchange for all of the outstanding stock and warrants of New Intuitive Machines; and (b) then distributed such shares of stock and warrants of New Intuitive Machines to the holders of securities of Inflection Point in liquidation of Inflection Point. The taxable year of Inflection Point will be deemed to end on the date of the Domestication.

If the Domestication fails to qualify as an F Reorganization, a Holder of Inflection Point Securities generally would be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having exchanged its Inflection Point Securities for New Intuitive Machines Securities in a taxable transaction.

II.    U.S. HOLDERS

As used herein, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of an Inflection Point Security or a New Intuitive Machines Security, as applicable, who or that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

        an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

        a corporation that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

        an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

        a trust if (1) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a United States person.

A.     Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders

1.      Generally

Assuming the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, U.S. Holders of Inflection Point Securities generally should not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in connection with the Domestication, except as provided below under the sections entitled “ 3. Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares” and “ 5. PFIC Considerations”.

Subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “ 5. PFIC Considerations,” if the Domestication fails to qualify as an F Reorganization, a U.S. Holder of Inflection Point Securities generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to its Inflection Point Securities in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the corresponding New Intuitive Machines Securities received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Inflection Point Securities surrendered.

Although the redemptions of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will occur prior to the Domestication, it is possible that the IRS could assert that for U.S. federal income tax purposes such redemptions should be treated as occurring after the Domestication. If such redemptions are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as occurring after the Domestication, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights would be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication, and the determination of whether a U.S. Holder is a 10% U.S. Shareholder (as defined below) or is otherwise subject to Section 367 of the Code would be determined as if the redemptions had not yet occurred at the time of the Domestication. All U.S. Holders considering exercising redemption rights with respect to Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the potential tax consequences to them of the Domestication and exercise of redemption rights, including the possibility that the redemptions are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as occurring after the Domestication despite the redemptions occurring in form prior to the Domestication.

2.      Basis and Holding Period Considerations

Assuming the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “ 5. PFIC Considerations”: (a) the tax basis of a share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock or New Intuitive Machines Warrant received by a U.S. Holder in the Domestication will equal the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share or Inflection Point Warrant surrendered in exchange therefor, increased by any amount included in the income of such U.S. Holder as a result of Section 367 of the Code (as discussed below) and (b) the holding period for a share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock or a New Intuitive Machines Warrant received by a U.S. Holder will include such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share or Inflection Point Warrant surrendered in exchange therefor.

If the Domestication fails to qualify as an F Reorganization, the U.S. Holder’s basis in the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants would be equal to the fair market value of such New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants on the date of the Domestication, and such U.S. Holder’s holding period for such New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and New Intuitive Machines Warrants would begin on the day following the date of the Domestication. Holders who hold different blocks of Inflection Point Securities (generally, Inflection Point Securities purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them, and the discussion above does not specifically address all of the consequences to U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of Inflection Point Securities.

3.      Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares

Section 367 of the Code applies to certain transactions involving foreign corporations, including a domestication of a foreign corporation in a transaction that qualifies as an F Reorganization. Subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “ 5. PFIC Considerations,” Section 367 of the Code imposes U.S. federal income tax on certain U.S. persons in connection with transactions that would otherwise be tax-deferred. Section 367(b) of the Code will generally apply to U.S. Holders on the date of the Domestication.

Although the redemptions of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will occur prior to the Domestication, it is possible that the IRS could assert that for U.S. federal income tax purposes such redemptions should be treated as occurring after the Domestication. If such redemptions are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as occurring after the Domestication, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights would be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication, and the determination of whether a U.S. Holder is a 10% U.S. Shareholder (as defined below) or is otherwise subject to Section 367 of the Code would be determined as if the redemptions had not yet occurred at the time of the Domestication. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possibility that the redemptions are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as occurring after the Domestication despite the redemptions occurring in form prior to the Domestication.

a.    U.S. Holders Who Own 10 Percent or More (By Vote or Value) of Inflection Point Shares

Subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “ 5. PFIC Considerations,” a U.S. Holder who beneficially owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) ten percent (10%) or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Inflection Point shares entitled to vote or ten percent (10%) or more of the total value of all classes of Inflection Point shares (a “10% U.S. Shareholder”) on the date of the Domestication must include in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by Inflection Point the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to the Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares it directly owns within the meaning of Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code. A U.S. Holder’s ownership of Inflection Point Warrants will be taken into account in determining whether such U.S. Holder is a 10% U.S. Shareholder. Complex attribution rules apply in determining whether a U.S. Holder is a 10% U.S. Shareholder and all U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to these attribution rules.

A 10% U.S. Shareholder’s “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares is the net positive earnings and profits of Inflection Point (as determined under Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to such Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares (as determined under Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) but without regard to any gain that would be realized on a sale or exchange

191

Table of Contents

of such Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares. Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code provide that the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to a shareholder’s stock is determined according to the principles of Section 1248 of the Code. In general, Section 1248 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder provide that the amount of earnings and profits attributable to a block of stock (as defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 1248 of the Code) in a foreign corporation is the ratably allocated portion of the foreign corporation’s earnings and profits generated during the period the shareholder held the block of stock.

Inflection Point does not expect to have significant, if any, cumulative net earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication. If Inflection Point’s cumulative net earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication is less than or equal to zero, then a 10% U.S. Shareholder should not be required to include in gross income an “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares. However, the determination of earnings and profits is complex and may be impacted by numerous factors. It is possible that the amount of Inflection Point’s cumulative net earnings and profits could be positive through the date of the Domestication, in which case a 10% U.S. Shareholder would be required to include its “all earnings and profits amount” in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by Inflection Point under Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code as a result of the Domestication.

b.    U.S. Holders Who Own Less Than 10% (By Vote or Value) of Inflection Point Shares

Subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “ 5. PFIC Considerations,” a U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, is not a 10% U.S. Shareholder and whose Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of the Domestication will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares in the Domestication or, in the alternative, may elect to recognize the “all earnings and profits” amount attributable to such U.S. Holder’s Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares as described below.

Subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “— 5. PFIC Considerations,” unless a U.S. Holder makes the “all earnings and profits election” as described below, such U.S. Holder generally must recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock received in the Domestication in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of such New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares deemed surrendered in exchange therefor. U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares (generally, Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

In lieu of recognizing any gain as described in the preceding paragraph, a U.S. Holder may elect to include in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by Inflection Point the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares under Section 367(b) of the Code. There are, however, strict conditions for making this election. This election must comply with applicable Treasury Regulations and generally must include, among other things:

(i)     a statement that the Domestication is a Section 367(b) exchange (within the meaning of the applicable Treasury Regulations);

(ii)    a complete description of the Domestication;

(iii)   a description of any stock, securities or other consideration transferred or received in the Domestication;

(iv)   a statement describing the amounts required to be taken into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(v)    a statement that the U.S. Holder is making the election that includes (A) a copy of the information that the U.S. Holder received from Inflection Point (or New Intuitive Machines) establishing and substantiating the U.S. Holder’s “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to the U.S. Holder’s Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and (B) a representation that the U.S. Holder has notified Inflection Point (or New Intuitive Machines) that the U.S. Holder is making the election; and

(vi)   certain other information required to be furnished with the U.S. Holder’s tax return or otherwise furnished pursuant to the Code or the Treasury Regulations.

192

Table of Contents

In addition, the election must be attached by an electing U.S. Holder to such U.S. Holder’s timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the year of the Domestication, and the U.S. Holder must send notice of making the election to Inflection Point or New Intuitive Machines no later than the date such tax return is filed. In connection with this election, New Intuitive Machines will reasonably cooperate with U.S. Holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares, upon request, to make available to such requesting U.S. Holders information regarding Inflection Point’s earnings and profits.

Inflection Point does not expect to have significant, if any, cumulative earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication and if that proves to be the case, U.S. Holders who make this election are not expected to have a significant income inclusion under Section 367(b) of the Code, provided that the U.S. Holder properly executes the election and complies with the applicable notice requirements. However, as noted above, if it were determined that Inflection Point had positive earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication, a U.S. Holder that makes the election described herein could have an “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares, and thus could be required to include that amount in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by Inflection Point under applicable Treasury Regulations as a result of the Domestication.

EACH U.S. HOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF MAKING AN ELECTION TO INCLUDE IN INCOME THE “ALL EARNINGS AND PROFITS AMOUNT” ATTRIBUTABLE TO ITS INFLECTION POINT CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES UNDER SECTION 367(b) OF THE CODE AND THE APPROPRIATE FILING REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH AN ELECTION.

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, is not a 10% U.S. Shareholder and whose Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication generally should not be required to recognize any gain or loss or include any part of the “all earnings and profits amount” in income under Section 367 of the Code in connection with the Domestication. However, such U.S. Holder may be subject to taxation under the PFIC rules as discussed below under the section entitled “ 5. PFIC Considerations”.

4.      Tax Consequences for U.S. Holders of Inflection Point Warrants

Assuming the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, subject to the considerations described above under the section entitled “ 3. Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares — a. U.S. Holders Who Own 10 Percent or More (By Vote or Value) of Inflection Point Shares” relating to a U.S. Holder’s ownership of Inflection Point Warrants being taken into account in determining whether such U.S. Holder is a 10% U.S. Shareholder for purposes of Section 367(b) of the Code and the considerations described below under the section entitled “ 5. PFIC Considerations” relating to the PFIC rules, a U.S. Holder of Inflection Point Warrants should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to the exchange of Inflection Point Warrants for New Intuitive Machines Warrants in the Domestication.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE EFFECT OF SECTION 367 OF THE CODE TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

5.      PFIC Considerations

Regardless of whether the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization (and, if the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, in addition to the discussion above under the section entitled “— 3. Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares”), the Domestication could be a taxable event to U.S. Holders under the PFIC provisions of the Code if Inflection Point is considered a PFIC.

a.    Definition of a PFIC

A foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (a) at least seventy five percent (75%) of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least twenty five percent (25%) of the shares by value, is passive income or (b) at least fifty percent (50%) of its assets in a taxable year (generally determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year), including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least twenty five percent (25%) of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business received from unrelated persons) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. The determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is made annually. Pursuant to a “startup

193

Table of Contents

exception,” a foreign corporation will not be a PFIC for the first taxable year the foreign corporation has gross income (the “startup year”) if (1) no predecessor of the foreign corporation was a PFIC; (2) the foreign corporation satisfies the IRS that it will not be a PFIC for either of the first two taxable years following the startup year; and (3) the foreign corporation is not in fact a PFIC for either of those years.

b.    PFIC Status of Inflection Point

Based upon the composition of its income and assets, and upon a review of its financial statements, Inflection Point believes that it likely will not be eligible for the startup exception and therefore likely has been a PFIC since its first taxable year and will likely be considered a PFIC for the taxable year which ends as a result of the Domestication.

c.    Effects of PFIC Rules on the Domestication

Even if the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC (including for this purpose, under a proposed Treasury Regulation that generally treats an “option” (which would include an Inflection Point Warrant) to acquire the stock of a PFIC as stock of the PFIC, exchanging warrants of a PFIC for newly issued warrants in connection with a domestication transaction) recognizes gain notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury Regulations are currently in effect under Section 1291(f) of the Code. However, proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code have been promulgated with a retroactive effective date. If finalized in their current form, those proposed Treasury Regulations would require gain recognition to U.S. Holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and Inflection Point Warrants as a result of the Domestication if:

(i)     Inflection Point were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. Holder’s holding period in such Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares or Inflection Point Warrants; and

(ii)    the U.S. Holder had not timely made (a) a QEF Election (as defined below) for the first taxable year in which the U.S. Holder owned such Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares or in which Inflection Point was a PFIC, whichever is later (or a QEF Election along with a purging election), or (b) an MTM Election (as defined below) with respect to such Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares. Under current law, neither a QEF Election nor an MTM Election can be made with respect to warrants.

The tax on any such recognized gain would be imposed based on a complex set of computational rules designed to offset the tax deferral with respect to the undistributed earnings of Inflection Point. Under these rules (the “excess distributions regime”):

        the U.S. Holder’s gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such U.S. Holder’s Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares or Inflection Point Warrants;

        the amount of gain allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of the first taxable year in which Inflection Point was a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

        the amount of gain allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in such U.S. Holder’s holding period would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and

        an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year (described in the third bullet above) of such U.S. Holder.

In addition, the proposed Treasury Regulations provide coordinating rules with Section 367(b) of the Code, whereby, if the gain recognition rule of the proposed Treasury Regulations applied to a disposition of PFIC stock that results from a transfer with respect to which Section 367(b) of the Code requires the U.S. Holder to recognize gain or include an amount in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by Inflection Point, the gain realized on the transfer is taxable as an excess distribution under the excess distribution regime, and the excess, if any, of the amount to be included in income under Section 367(b) of the Code over the gain realized under these rules is taxable as provided under Section 367(b) of the Code. See the discussion above under the section entitled “ 3. Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares”.

Table of Contents

It is difficult to predict whether, in what form and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted or how any such final Treasury Regulations would apply. Therefore, U.S. Holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares that have not made a timely and effective QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) or an MTM Election (each as defined below) may, pursuant to the proposed Treasury Regulations, be subject to taxation under the PFIC rules on the Domestication with respect to their Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares and Inflection Point Warrants under the excess distribution regime in the manner set forth above. A U.S. Holder that made a timely and effective QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) or an MTM Election with respect to its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares is referred to herein as an “Electing Shareholder” and a U.S. Holder that is not an Electing Shareholder is referred to herein as a “Non-Electing Shareholder.”

As discussed above, proposed Treasury Regulations issued under the PFIC rules generally treats an “option” (which would include an Inflection Point Warrant) to acquire the stock of a PFIC as stock of the PFIC, while final Treasury Regulations issued under the PFIC rules provide that neither a QEF Election nor an MTM Election (as defined below) may be made with respect to options. Therefore, it is possible that the proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would apply to cause gain recognition on the exchange of Inflection Point Warrants for New Intuitive Machines Warrants pursuant to the Domestication.

Any gain recognized by a Non-Electing Shareholder of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares or a U.S. Holder of Inflection Point Warrants as a result of the Domestication pursuant to PFIC rules would be taxable income to such U.S. Holder and taxed under the excess distribution regime in the manner set forth above, with no corresponding receipt of cash.

As noted above, if Inflection Point is considered a PFIC, the Domestication could be a taxable event under the PFIC rules regardless of whether the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, and, absent a QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) or an MTM Election, a U.S. Holder would be taxed under the excess distribution regime in the manner set forth above.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE EFFECTS OF THE PFIC RULES ON THE DOMESTICATION, INCLUDING THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL TREASURY REGULATIONS.

d.    QEF Election and Mark-to-Market Election

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a timely and effective election to treat Inflection Point as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code for the taxable year that is the first year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares during which Inflection Point qualified as a PFIC (a “QEF Election”) or, if in a later taxable year, the U.S. Holder made a QEF Election along with a purging election. One type of purging election creates a deemed sale of the U.S. Holder’s Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares at their then fair market value and requires the U.S. Holder to recognize gain pursuant to such purging election subject to the excess distribution regime described above. As a result of any such purging election, the U.S. Holder would increase the adjusted tax basis in its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares by the amount of the gain recognized and, solely for purposes of the PFIC rules, would have a new holding period in its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the application of the rules governing purging elections to their particular circumstances.

A U.S. Holder’s ability to make a timely and effective QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) with respect to its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares is contingent upon, among other things, the provision by Inflection Point of a “PFIC Annual Information Statement” to such U.S. Holder. New Intuitive Machines will reasonably cooperate with any requesting U.S. Holder to provide PFIC Annual Information Statements to such requesting U.S. Holder of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares with respect to each taxable year for which Inflection Point is determined to be a PFIC. As discussed above, a U.S. Holder is not able to make a QEF Election with respect to Inflection Point Warrants under current law. An Electing Shareholder generally would not be subject to the excess distribution regime discussed above with respect to their Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares. As a result, an Electing Shareholder generally should not recognize gain or loss as a result of the Domestication except to the extent described under “— 3. Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares,

195

Table of Contents

and subject to the discussion above under “ A. Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders,” but rather would include annually in gross income its pro rata share of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of Inflection Point, whether or not such amounts are actually distributed.

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares may also depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the Code (an “MTM Election”). U.S. Holders who hold (actually or constructively) stock of a foreign corporation that is classified as a PFIC may elect to mark such stock to its market value each taxable year if such stock is “marketable stock,” generally, stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, including the Nasdaq. No assurance can be given that Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares are considered to be marketable stock for purposes of the MTM Election for any taxable year or whether the other requirements of this election are satisfied. If such an election is available and has been made, such Electing Shareholder generally would not be subject to the excess distributions regime discussed above with respect to their Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Domestication. Instead, in general, such Electing Shareholder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares at the end of its taxable year over its adjusted tax basis in its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares. The Electing Shareholder also will recognize an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of its adjusted tax basis in its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares over the fair market value of its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the MTM Election). The Electing Shareholder’s tax basis in its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will be treated as ordinary income. However, if the MTM Election is not made by a U.S. Holder with respect to the first taxable year of its holding period for the Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares in which Inflection Point is a PFIC, then the excess distribution regime discussed above will apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to, Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares, including in connection with the Domestication. Under current law, an MTM Election is not available with respect to warrants, including the Inflection Point Warrants.

THE RULES DEALING WITH PFICS ARE VERY COMPLEX AND ARE IMPACTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION OF THE RULES ADDRESSING OVERLAPS IN THE PFIC RULES AND THE SECTION 367(b) RULES AND THE RULES RELATING TO CONTROLLED FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.    ALL U.S. HOLDERS OF INFLECTION POINT SECURITIES ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PFIC RULES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WHETHER A QEF ELECTION (OR A QEF ELECTION ALONG WITH A PURGING ELECTION), AN MTM ELECTION OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND WHETHER AND HOW ANY OVERLAP RULES APPLY, AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ANY SUCH ELECTION OR OVERLAP RULE AND THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL PFIC TREASURY REGULATIONS.

B.    Tax Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

1.      Generally

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares that exercises its redemption rights with respect to its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of shares by a U.S. Holder, the tax consequences to such U.S. Holder are as described below under the section entitled “ 3. Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale”. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of shares, a U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution with the tax consequences to such U.S. Holder as described below under the section entitled “— 2. Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution”.

Whether a redemption of shares qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of Inflection Point stock treated as held by the redeemed U.S. Holder before and after the redemption (including any shares treated as constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning Inflection Point Warrants and any shares that a U.S. Holder would directly or indirectly acquire pursuant to the Business Combination) relative to all of the stock of Inflection Point outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption generally will be treated as a sale

196

Table of Contents

of shares (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (1) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder, (2) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in Inflection Point or (3) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests result in a redemption qualifying for sale treatment, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only shares actually owned by the U.S. Holder, but also shares that are constructively owned by it under certain attribution rules set forth in the Code. A U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to shares owned directly, shares owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any shares that the holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include shares which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of Inflection Point Warrants. Moreover, any shares that a U.S. Holder directly or constructively acquires pursuant to the Business Combination generally should be included in determining the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the redemption.

In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of Inflection Point’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption of shares must, among other requirements, be less than eighty percent (80%) of the percentage of Inflection Point’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption (taking into account redemptions by other holders and possibly the New Intuitive Machines stock to be issued pursuant to the Business Combination). There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest Inflection Point if either (1) all of the shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (2) all of the shares actually owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other shares (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning Inflection Point Warrants). The redemption will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if the redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Inflection Point. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Inflection Point will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation where such stockholder exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”

If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption of shares will be treated as a corporate distribution to the redeemed U.S. Holder and the tax effects to such a U.S. Holder will be as described below under the section entitled “ 2. Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution”. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the redeemed shares will be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining Inflection Point stock or, if it has none, to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Inflection Point Warrants or possibly in other Inflection Point stock constructively owned by it.

Redeeming U.S. Holders generally will be subject to the PFIC rules relating to the excess distribution regime, QEF Election and MTM Election described above under the section entitled “ A. Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders — 5. PFIC Considerations” with respect to any gain or loss recognized by the U.S. Holder on its deemed sale of its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares (if the redemption were treated as a sale of shares) or any corporate distributions deemed received on its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares (if the redemption were treated as a corporate distribution) without regard to any potential limitations or other interactions of such PFIC rules in connection with an F Reorganization or Section 367 of the Code as discussed therein.

U.S. Holders who actually or constructively own at least five percent (5%) by vote or value (or, if Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares is not then publicly traded, at least one percent (1%) by vote or value) or more of the total outstanding Inflection Point stock may be subject to special reporting requirements with respect to a redemption of shares, and such holders should consult with their tax advisors with respect to their reporting requirements.

U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possibility that the redemptions are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as occurring after the Domestication despite the redemptions occurring in form prior to the Domestication and the consequences thereof to them based on their particular circumstances.

197

Table of Contents

2.      Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution

If the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s shares is treated as a corporate distribution, as discussed above under the section entitled “ 1. Generally”, the amount of cash received in the redemption generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from Inflection Point’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles.

Distributions in excess of Inflection Point’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale of shares and will be treated as described below under the section entitled “ 3. Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale”.

As discussed above, a redeeming U.S. Holder generally will be subject to the PFIC rules relating to the excess distribution regime, QEF Election and MTM Election described above under the section entitled “ A. Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders — 5. PFIC Considerations” with respect to any corporate distributions deemed received on its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares (if the redemption were treated as a corporate distribution) without regard to any potential limitations or other interactions of such PFIC rules in connection with an F Reorganization or Section 367 of the Code as discussed therein.

3.      Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale

If the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s shares is treated as a sale, as discussed above under the section entitled “ 1. Generally”, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in the redemption and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares redeemed. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares so disposed of exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders generally will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

As discussed above, a redeeming U.S. Holder generally will be subject to the PFIC rules relating to the excess distribution regime, QEF Election and MTM Election described above under the section entitled “ A. Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders — 5. PFIC Considerations” with respect to any gain or loss recognized by the U.S. Holder on its deemed sale of its Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares (if the redemption were treated as a sale of shares) without regard to any potential limitations or other interactions of such PFIC rules in connection with an F Reorganization or Section 367 of the Code as discussed therein.

U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of shares (including as a result of holding different blocks of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

C.    Tax Consequences of Ownership and Disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities

1.      Taxation of Distributions

In general, distributions of cash or other property to U.S. Holders of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock (other than certain distributions of New Intuitive Machines stock or rights to acquire New Intuitive Machines stock) generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from New Intuitive Machines’ current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and will be treated as described below under the section entitled “2. Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities”.

198

Table of Contents

Dividends paid to a U.S. Holder that is treated as a taxable corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. Holder may constitute “qualified dividend income” that will be subject to tax at reduced rates accorded to long-term capital gains.

2.      Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities

Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities (which, in general, would include a redemption of New Intuitive Machines Warrants that is treated as a sale of such warrants as described below), a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Intuitive Machines Securities. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New Intuitive Machines Securities so disposed of exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Generally, the amount of gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder is an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Intuitive Machines Securities so disposed of. See the section entitled “— A. Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders” above for discussion of a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Intuitive Machines Securities following the Domestication. See the section entitled “— 3. Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of New Intuitive Machines Warrants” below for a discussion regarding a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a New Intuitive Machines Warrant.

3.      Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of New Intuitive Machines Warrants

A U.S. Holder generally will not recognize taxable gain or loss on the acquisition of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock upon exercise of New Intuitive Machines Warrants for cash. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New Intuitive Machines Warrants and the exercise price. It is unclear whether the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants will begin on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants; in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the New Intuitive Machines Warrants. If any New Intuitive Machines Warrants are allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such holder’s tax basis in the lapsed New Intuitive Machines Warrants.

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of New Intuitive Machines Warrants are not clear under current tax law. A cashless exercise may not be taxable, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either situation, a U.S. Holder’s basis in the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock received would equal the U.S. Holder’s basis in the New Intuitive Machines Warrants exercised therefor. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period in the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock would be treated as commencing on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the New Intuitive Machines Warrants. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock would include the holding period of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants exercised therefor.

It is also possible that a cashless exercise could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a U.S. Holder could be deemed to have surrendered a number of New Intuitive Machines Warrants equal to the number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock having a value equal to the exercise price for the total number of New Intuitive Machines Warrants to be exercised. In such case, the U.S. Holder would recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the New Intuitive Machines Warrants deemed surrendered in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock that would have been received in a regular exercise of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants deemed surrendered and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New Intuitive Machines Warrants deemed surrendered. In this case, a U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock received would equal the sum of the

199

Table of Contents

U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New Intuitive Machines Warrants deemed exercised and the aggregate exercise price of such New Intuitive Machines Warrants. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock would commence on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the New Intuitive Machines Warrants.

Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, including when a U.S. Holder’s holding period would commence with respect to the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock received, there can be no assurance regarding which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

If New Intuitive Machines redeems New Intuitive Machines Warrants for cash or if it purchases New Intuitive Machines Warrants in an open market transaction, such redemption or purchase generally will be treated as a taxable disposition to the U.S. Holder, taxed as described above under the section entitled “— 2. Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities.”

4.      Possible Constructive Distributions

Consistent with the Inflection Point Warrants, the terms of each New Intuitive Machines Warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock for which the New Intuitive Machines Warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the New Intuitive Machines Warrant in certain events. An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. A U.S. Holder of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants would, however, be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from New Intuitive Machines if, for example, the adjustment increases the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in New Intuitive Machines’ assets or earnings and profits (for example, through an increase in the number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock that would be obtained upon exercise or through a decrease in the exercise price of the New Intuitive Machines Warrant), which adjustment may be made as a result of a distribution of cash or other property, such as other securities, to the holders of shares of New Intuitive Machines stock, or as a result of the issuance of a stock dividend to holders of shares of New Intuitive Machines stock, in each case, which is taxable to the holders of such shares as a distribution. Such constructive distribution would be subject to tax as described above under the section entitled “— 1. Taxation of Distributions” in the same manner as if the U.S. Holders of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants received a cash distribution from New Intuitive Machines equal to the fair market value of such increased interest.

D.    Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of distributions on and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities will be subject to information reporting to the IRS and U.S. backup withholding on such payments may be possible. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and the U.S. Holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

III.    NON-U.S. HOLDERS

As used herein, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of an Inflection Point Security or New Intuitive Machines Security, as applicable, who or that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

        a non-resident alien individual, other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States subject to U.S. tax as expatriates;

        a foreign corporation; or

        an estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder.

A.     Tax Effects of the Domestication to Non-U.S. Holders

The Domestication is not expected to result in any U.S. federal income tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder of Inflection Point Securities unless the Domestication fails to qualify as an F Reorganization and such Non-U.S. Holder holds its Inflection Point Securities in connection with a conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States). Non-U.S. Holders will own stock and warrants of a U.S. corporation, i.e., New Intuitive Machines, rather than a non-U.S. corporation, i.e., Inflection Point, after the Domestication.

Although the redemptions of Non-U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will occur prior to the Domestication, it is possible that the IRS could assert that for U.S. federal income tax purposes such redemptions should be treated as occurring after the Domestication. If such redemptions are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as occurring after the Domestication, Non-U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights would be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possibility that the redemptions are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as occurring after the Domestication despite the redemptions occurring in form prior to the Domestication, including the U.S. federal income tax considerations to them of such treatment.

B.    Tax Effects to Non-U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares that exercises its redemption rights will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of shares redeemed, as described above under “II. U.S. Holders — B. Tax Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights — 1. Generally”. Regardless of whether it is treated as a sale of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares or as a corporate distribution on the Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the redemption is not expected to result in any U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Non-U.S. Holder unless such Non-U.S. Holder holds such Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with a conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States).

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possibility that the redemptions are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as occurring after the Domestication despite the redemptions occurring in form prior to the Domestication, including the U.S. federal income tax considerations to them of such treatment.

C.    Tax Consequences of Ownership and Disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities

1.      Taxation of Distributions

In general, any distributions (including constructive distributions, but not including certain distributions of New Intuitive Machines stock or rights to acquire New Intuitive Machines stock) made to a Non-U.S. Holder of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, to the extent paid out of New Intuitive Machines’ current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, New Intuitive Machines will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of thirty percent (30%), unless such Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). In the case of any constructive dividend, it is possible that this tax would be withheld from any amount owed to a Non-U.S. Holder by the applicable withholding agent, including cash distributions on other property or sale proceeds from warrants or other property subsequently paid or credited to such Non-U.S. Holder. Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, which will be treated as described below under the section entitled “ 2. Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities”. In addition, if New Intuitive Machines determines that it is likely to be classified as a “United States real property holding corporation” (see the section entitled “— 2. Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities” below), the applicable withholding agent may withhold fifteen (15%) of any distribution that exceeds New Intuitive Machines’ current and accumulated earnings and profits.

201

Table of Contents

The withholding tax generally does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder who provides an IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A Non-U.S. Holder that is treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of thirty percent (30%) (or a lower applicable treaty rate).

2.      Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities

A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of its New Intuitive Machines Securities (including an expiration or redemption of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants as described below under the section entitled “ 3. Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of New Intuitive Machines Warrants”), unless:

        the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States);

        such Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of such disposition (as such days are calculated pursuant to Section 7701(b)(3) of the Code) and certain other requirements are met; or

        New Intuitive Machines is or has been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the applicable New Intuitive Machines Security being disposed of, except, in the case where shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock are “regularly traded” on an “established securities market” (as such terms are defined under applicable Treasury Regulations), (x) the Non-U.S. Holder is disposing of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and has owned, whether actually or based on the application of constructive ownership rules, five percent (5%) or less of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at all times within the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock or such Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for such New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock or (y) the Non-U.S. Holder is disposing of New Intuitive Machines Warrants and has owned, whether actually or based on the application of constructive ownership rules, five percent (5%) or less of the total fair market value of New Intuitive Machines Warrants (provided the New Intuitive Machines Warrants are considered to be “regularly traded”) at all times within the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition of New Intuitive Machines Warrants or such Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for such New Intuitive Machines Warrants. There can be no assurance that New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock or New Intuitive Machines Warrants are or have been treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose. It is unclear how the rules for determining the five percent (5%) threshold for this purpose would be applied with respect to New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock or New Intuitive Machines Warrants, including how a Non-U.S. Holder’s ownership of New Intuitive Machines Warrants impacts the five percent (5%) threshold determination with respect to New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and whether the five percent (5%) threshold determination with respect to New Intuitive Machines Warrants must be made with or without reference to the Private Placement Warrants. In addition, special rules may apply in the case of a disposition of New Intuitive Machines Warrants if New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock is considered to be “regularly traded”, but New Intuitive Machines Warrants are not considered to be “regularly traded”. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foregoing rules in light of their particular facts and circumstances.

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a Non-U.S. Holder that is treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a thirty percent (30%) rate (or a lower applicable income tax treaty rate).

202

Table of Contents

If the second bullet point applies to a Non-U.S. Holder, such Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. tax on such Non-U.S. Holder’s net capital gain for such year (including any gain realized in connection with the redemption) at a tax rate of thirty percent (30%) (or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).

If the third bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. Holder, gain recognized by such holder will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, New Intuitive Machines may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) of the amount realized upon such disposition or redemption. Based on the nature of the business and activities of Intuitive Machines, it generally is not expected that New Intuitive Machines would be a United States real property holding corporation after the Domestication or immediately after the Business Combination is completed. However, neither Inflection Point nor Intuitive Machines has undertaken a formal analysis of New Intuitive Machines’ possible status as a United States real property holding corporation. In addition, such determination is factual in nature and subject to change. Accordingly, no assurance can be provided as to whether New Intuitive Machines would be treated as a United States real property holding corporation in any taxable year.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them in respect of any loss recognized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of its New Intuitive Machines Securities.

3.      Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of New Intuitive Machines Warrants

A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not recognize taxable gain or loss on the acquisition of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock upon exercise of New Intuitive Machines Warrants for cash. The Non-U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of New Intuitive Machines Warrants generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the Non-U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such New Intuitive Machines Warrants and the exercise price. It is unclear whether the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants will begin on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants; in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the Non-U.S. Holder held the New Intuitive Machines Warrants. If any New Intuitive Machines Warrants are allowed to lapse unexercised, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such holder’s tax basis in such lapsed New Intuitive Machines Warrants and generally will be taxed as described above under “— 2. Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities”.

Consistent with the Inflection Point Warrants, the New Intuitive Machines Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis in certain circumstances. The U.S. federal income tax characterization of a cashless exercise of New Intuitive Machines Warrants are not clear under current tax law. A cashless exercise may not be a taxable exchange, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either situation, a Non-U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock received would equal the Non-U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New Intuitive Machines Warrants exercised therefor. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a realization event, it is unclear whether a Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period in the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock would be treated as commencing on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants; in either case, the holding period would not include the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New Intuitive Machines Warrants exercised therefor.

If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock would include the holding period of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants exercised therefor.

It is also possible that a cashless exercise could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a Non-U.S. Holder could be deemed to have surrendered a number of New Intuitive Machines Warrants equal to the number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock having a value equal to the exercise price for the total number of New Intuitive Machines Warrants to be exercised. In such case, the Non-U.S. Holder would recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the New Intuitive Machines Warrants deemed surrendered in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock that would have been received in a regular exercise of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants deemed surrendered and the Non-U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New Intuitive Machines Warrants deemed surrendered. Any gain or loss recognized by a Non-U.S. Holder generally will be taxed as described above in “— 2. Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities”. It is unclear whether a Non-U.S. Holder’s holding

203

Table of Contents

period for the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock would commence on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants; in either case, the holding period would not include the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New Intuitive Machines Warrants exercised therefor.

Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, including when a Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period would commence with respect to the New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock received, there can be no assurance regarding which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

If New Intuitive Machines redeems New Intuitive Machines Warrants for cash or if New Intuitive Machines purchases New Intuitive Machines Warrants in an open market transaction, such redemption or purchase generally will be treated as a taxable disposition to the Non-U.S. Holder, taxed as described above under “— 2. Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities”.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the exercise, lapse, or redemption of New Intuitive Machines Warrants.

4.      Possible Constructive Distributions

Similar with the Inflection Point Warrants, the terms of each New Intuitive Machines Warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock for which the New Intuitive Machines Warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the New Intuitive Machines Warrant in certain events. An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not a taxable event. A Non-U.S. Holder of the New Intuitive Machines Warrants would, however, be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from New Intuitive Machines if, for example, the adjustment increases the Non-U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in New Intuitive Machines’ assets or earnings and profits (for example, through an increase in the number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock that would be obtained upon exercise or through a decrease in the exercise price of the New Intuitive Machines Warrant), which adjustment may be made as a result of a distribution of cash or other property, such as other securities, to the holders of shares of New Intuitive Machines stock, or as a result of the issuance of a stock dividend to holders of shares of New Intuitive Machines stock, in each case, which is taxable to the holders of such stock as a distribution. Any constructive distribution received by a Non-U.S. Holder would be subject to U.S. federal income tax (including any applicable withholding) in the same manner as if such Non-U.S. Holder received a corporate distribution from New Intuitive Machines equal to the fair market value of such increased interest without any corresponding receipt of cash, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of which are described above under “— C. Tax Consequences of Ownership and Disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities — 1. Taxation of Distributions”.

D.    Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of distributions and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities. A Non-U.S. Holder may have to comply with certification procedures to establish that it is not a U.S. person in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding requirements. The certification procedures required to claim a reduced rate of withholding under a treaty generally will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding as well.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will be allowed as a credit against such Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such Non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

E.    Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Provisions commonly referred to as “FATCA” impose withholding of thirty percent (30%) on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) on New Intuitive Machines Securities to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied by, or an exemption applies to, the payee (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). Foreign financial institutions located

204

Table of Contents

in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a Non-U.S. Holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such withholding taxes, and a Non-U.S. Holder might be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return to claim such refunds or credits. Thirty percent (30%) withholding under FATCA was scheduled to apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property that produces U.S.-source interest or dividends beginning on January 1, 2019, but on December 13, 2018, the IRS released proposed regulations that, if finalized in their proposed form, would eliminate the obligation to withhold on gross proceeds. Such proposed regulations also delayed withholding on certain other payments received from other foreign financial institutions that are allocable, as provided for under final Treasury Regulations, to payments of U.S.-source dividends, and other fixed or determinable annual or periodic income. Although these proposed Treasury Regulations are not final, taxpayers generally may rely on them until final Treasury Regulations are issued. However, there can be no assurance that final Treasury Regulations will provide the same exceptions from FATCA withholding as the proposed Treasury Regulations.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on their ownership and disposition of New Intuitive Machines Securities.

This cash available for maximum redemptions is calculated as the cash in trust less remaining transaction costs to be paid in cash reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.

Description of the Transactions

On September 16, 2022, Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines entered into the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which, (1) at the Closing and following the Domestication, (a) Inflection Point will acquire equity securities and become the managing member of Intuitive Machines OpCo and (b) Inflection Point will issue voting equity securities without economic rights to the existing Intuitive Machines Members prior to the Closing, resulting in a combined company organized in an Up-C structure, in which substantially all of the assets and business of the combined company will be held by Intuitive Machines OpCo and its subsidiaries, (2) Inflection Point will complete the Domestication and (3) Intuitive Machines will complete the Conversion and Recapitalization.

The Domestication

As a condition to the Business Combination, Inflection Point will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by effecting a deregistration under Section 206 of the Companies Act and a domestication under Section 388 of the DGCL, pursuant to which Inflection Point’s jurisdiction of incorporation will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Immediately prior to the Domestication, pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, each Inflection Point Class B Ordinary Share will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into an Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Share. Immediately following such conversion, in connection with the Domestication, each of the then issued and outstanding Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, each of which will carry voting rights of one vote per share; (iii) each of the then issued and outstanding Inflection Point Warrants will automatically become a New Intuitive Machines Warrant; and (iv) each Inflection Point Unit issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Domestication will automatically be canceled and each holder will receive one share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and one-half of one New Intuitive Machines Warrant, per Inflection Point Unit held immediately prior to the Domestication.

The Conversion and Recapitalization

In connection with the Business Combination, Intuitive Machines will change its jurisdiction of organization from Texas to Delaware. Immediately prior to the Closing, Intuitive Machines will effectuate the Recapitalization whereby all outstanding equity securities of Intuitive Machines will be converted into Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units, Intuitive Machines OpCo Options and Earn Out Units.

The Business Combination

At Closing,

(a)     New Intuitive Machines will issue or cause to be issued (i) 278 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock to the Intuitive Machines Members (other than the Intuitive Machines Founders), and (ii) 68,125,709 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock to the Intuitive Machines Founders, in each case in exchange for the Member Subscription Amount and will reserve (i) 1,874,013 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class B Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of Intuitive Machines OpCo Options and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock for issuance upon vesting of the Earn Out Units.

(b)     New Intuitive Machines will contribute to Intuitive Machines OpCo, the Available Cash equal to, as of immediately prior to the Closing, the sum of (without duplication): (a) all amounts in the Trust Account, less (i) amounts required for the redemptions of Public Shares by Public Shareholders and (ii) transaction expenses of Intuitive Machines and Inflection Point, plus (b) the aggregate proceeds actually received by New Intuitive Machines from the Series A Investment, plus (c) the aggregate proceeds, if any, actually received by Inflection Point or New Intuitive Machines from the sale of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock, one or more series of preferred stock, or convertible debt securities in a private placement consummated prior to or substantially concurrently with the Closing, plus (d) all other cash and cash equivalents of New Intuitive Machines, determined in accordance with GAAP as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date plus (e) the Member Subscription Amount in exchange for (w) a number of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units equal to the number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing; (x) a number of Intuitive Machines OpCo Warrants equal to the number of New Intuitive Machines Warrants outstanding as of the Closing; (y) a number of Intuitive Machines OpCo Series A Units equal to the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of the Closing and (z) a number of Intuitive Machines OpCo Preferred Investor Warrants equal to the number of Preferred Investor Warrants delivered to the Series A Investors at the Closing;

(c)     New Intuitive Machines will automatically be admitted as the managing member of Intuitive Machines OpCo in accordance with the terms of the Second A&R Operating Agreement; and

(d)     the 10,000,000 Earn Out Units received by the applicable Intuitive Machines Members will be subject to vesting and will be earned, released and delivered upon satisfaction of the following milestones: (i) 2,500,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, during the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event I occurs (Intuitive Machines is awarded the OMES III Contract by NASA), (ii) 5,000,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, within the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event I has occurred and Trigger Event II-A occurs (the volume weighted average closing sale price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share), (iii) 7,500,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, within the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event I has not occurred and Triggering Event II-B occurs (the volume weighted average closing sale price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share), and (iv) 2,500,000 Earn Out Units will vest if, within the Earn Out Period, Triggering Event III occurs (the volume weighted average closing sale price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $17.50 per share), provided, that Triggering Event II-A and Triggering Event II-B may not both be achieved. With respect to Triggering Event I, the Earn-Out Period is the time period beginning on September 16, 2022 and ending at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on December 31, 2023. With respect to Triggering Event II-A, Triggering Event II-B and Triggering Event III, the Earn-Out Period is the time period beginning on the date that is 150 days following the Closing Date and ending on the date that is the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date. If a Change of Control (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) occurs during the Earn Out Period that results in the holders of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock receiving a per share price greater than or equal to $15.00 or $17.50, respectively, then immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, to the extent not previously triggered, then Triggering Event II-A, Triggering Event II-B and/or Triggering Event III will be deemed to have occurred, as applicable, and the Earn Out Units shall vest. Upon the vesting of any Earn Out Units, each applicable Intuitive Machines Member will be issued an equal number of shares of New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock, in exchange for the payment to New Intuitive Machines of adequate consideration (in each case, not to exceed a per-share price equal to the par value per share of such New Intuitive Machines Class C Common Stock).

The Series A Investment

On September 16, 2022, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Inflection Point entered into the Series A Purchase Agreement with the Series A Investors, pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, New Intuitive Machines will issue and sell to the Series A Investors (i) an aggregate of 26,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock which will be convertible into shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation to be adopted by the Inflection Point Board following the Domestication but prior to Closing and (ii) Preferred Investor Warrants to purchase 541,667 shares of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $15.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The Series A Investment will be consummated following the Domestication but immediately prior to the Closing.

Non-Redemption Arrangements

Kingstown 1740 has entered into two separate, but overlapping agreements waiving certain redemption rights with respect to shares of Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares underlying Inflection Point Units purchased by Kingstown 1740 in the IPO.

In connection with the IPO, Kingstown 1740 entered into the IPO Redemption Waiver with Inflection Point dated September 21, 2021. The IPO Redemption Waiver provides that, only for so long as necessary in order for Inflection Point to have shareholders’ equity of at least $5,000,001, Kingstown 1740 has waived its rights to redeem the 1,386,989 IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares in connection with an IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Event ((a) the consummation of an initial business combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a shareholder vote to approve such initial business combination or (b) in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by September 24, 2023 (or such later date if Inflection Point submits and its shareholders approve an extension of such date) or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights

or pre-initial business combination activity or in the context of a tender offer made by Inflection Point to purchase Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares). However, if, at the time of an IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Event, it is not necessary for Kingstown 1740 to waive redemption rights with respect to any or all of the IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares in order for Inflection Point to have shareholders’ equity of $5,000,001, the IPO Redemption Waiver automatically and without further action by Inflection Point or Kingstown 1740, terminates and is of no further force and effect with respect to such IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares in connection with such IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Event. No consideration was provided to Kingstown 1740 in exchange for the IPO Redemption Waiver.

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines entered into the Non-Redemption Agreement with Kingstown 1740, pursuant to which Kingstown agreed not to redeem any of the 2,900,000 Business Combination Non-Redemption Covered Shares (Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares the underlying the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Units purchased by it in the IPO). The Business Combination Non-Redemption Covered Shares include the 1,386,989 IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Shares, as well as the other 1,513,011 Inflection Point Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the 2,900,000 Inflection Point Units purchased by Kingstown 1740 in the IPO. In contrast to the IPO Redemption Waiver, which only applies to the IPO Redemption Waiver Covered Events, and only if and to the extent necessary in order for Inflection Point to have shareholders’ equity of $5,000,001, the Non-Redemption Agreement is a general waiver of Kingstown 1740’s redemption rights with respect to the Business Combination Non-Redemption Shares. The Non-Redemption Agreement prohibits Kingstown 1740 from exercising redemption rights with respect to the Business Combination Non-Redemption Covered Shares in connection with the Business Combination or otherwise unless and until the Non-Redemption Agreement Terminates. The Non-Redemption Agreement will terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the Closing of the Business Combination and (c) the mutual consent of Inflection Point, Intuitive Machines and Kingstown 1740. No consideration was provided to Kingstown 1740 in exchange for entering the Non-Redemption Agreement.

Accounting for the Business Combination

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a common control transaction with respect to Intuitive Machines which is akin to a reverse recapitalization. Net assets of Inflection Point will be stated at historical cost with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded in accordance with GAAP. The Business Combination with respect to Intuitive Machines will not be treated as a change in control due primarily to one of the Intuitive Machines Members receiving the controlling voting stake in the post-combination company; their continued management of the post-combination company; and their ability to nominate a majority of the board of directors of the post-combination company. Under the guidance in ASC 805 for transactions between entities under common control, the assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interests of Intuitive Machines and Inflection Point are recognized at their carrying amounts on the date of the Business Combination.

Under a reverse recapitalization, Inflection Point will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Intuitive Machines issuing stock for the net assets of Inflection Point, accompanied by a recapitalization.

Tax Receivable Agreement

The Business Combination Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, New Intuitive Machines will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement with Intuitive Machines OpCo and the TRA Holders. Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, New Intuitive Machines will generally be required to pay the TRA Holders 85% of the amount of the cash tax savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, and local taxes that are based on, or measured with respect to, net income or profits, and any interest related thereto that New Intuitive Machines (and applicable consolidated, unitary, or combined subsidiaries thereof, if any and collectively the “Tax Group”) realizes, or is deemed to realize, as a result of certain tax attributes (the “Tax Attributes”), including:

        existing tax basis in certain assets of Intuitive Machines OpCo and certain of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, including assets that will eventually be subject to depreciation or amortization, once placed in service;

        tax basis adjustments resulting from taxable exchanges of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units (including any such adjustments resulting from certain payments made by New Intuitive Machines under the Tax Receivable Agreement) acquired by New Intuitive Machines from a TRA Holder pursuant to the terms of the Second A&R Operating Agreement;

210

Table of Contents

        certain tax benefits realized by New Intuitive Machines as a result of certain U.S. federal income tax allocations of taxable income or gain away from New Intuitive Machines and to other members of Intuitive Machines OpCo and deductions or losses to New Intuitive Machines and away from other members of Intuitive Machines OpCo, in each case as a result of the Business Combination; and

        tax deductions in respect of portions of certain payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, New Intuitive Machines will be a party to the Tax Receivable Agreement. Under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement, New Intuitive Machines will make payments to the TRA Holders in respect of 85% of the cash tax savings resulting from the net tax benefit to New Intuitive Machines of certain tax attributes (calculated using certain assumptions, and subject to the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement). However, until a TRA Holder exchanges at least 5% of its Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units, New Intuitive Machines will hold such payments applicable to existing basis until the TRA Holder satisfies such threshold exchange. Upon the completion of the Business Combination, no TRA Holder will have exchanged at least 5% of its Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units. The tax impacts of the transaction were estimated based on the applicable law in effect on September 30, 2022.

Due to the uncertainty as to the amount and timing of future exchanges of Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units by the TRA Holders and as to the price of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at the time of any such exchanges, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume that any existing equityholder of Intuitive Machines OpCo have exchanged Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units that would create an obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Therefore, no increases in tax basis in Intuitive Machines OpCo’s assets or other tax benefits that may be realized under the Tax Receivable Agreement have been reflected in the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information. Future exchanges will result in incremental tax attributes and potential cash tax savings for New Intuitive Machines. Depending on New Intuitive Machines’ assessment on realizability of such tax attributes, the arising Tax Receivable Agreement liability will be recorded at the exchange date against equity, or at a later point through income.

However, if all of the TRA Holders were to exchange or sell us all of their Intuitive Machines OpCo Common Units, we would recognize a deferred tax asset of approximately $169.2 million and a liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement of approximately $147.2 million, assuming: (i) all exchanges or purchases occurred on the same day; (ii) a price of $10 per share; (iii) a constant corporate tax rate; (iv) that we will have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the tax benefits; and (v) no material changes in tax law. These amounts are estimates and have been prepared for illustrative purposes only. The actual amount of deferred tax assets and related liabilities that we will recognize will differ based on, among other things, the timing of the exchanges, the price per share of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock at the time of the exchange, and the tax rates then in effect and certain change of control or early termination events occurring.

If New Intuitive Machines exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement or in the case of a change in control of New Intuitive Machines or a material breach of New Intuitive Machines’ obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, all obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be accelerated and New Intuitive Machines will be required to make a payment to the TRA Holders in an amount equal to the present value of future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. This payment would be based on certain assumptions, including that New Intuitive Machines would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the benefits arising from the Tax Attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. If New Intuitive Machines were to elect to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement immediately after the business combination, assuming the market value of New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock is equal to $10 per share, Inflection Point currently estimates that it would be required to pay approximately $99.7 million to satisfy its total liability.

Equity Facility

On September 16, 2022, Inflection Point entered into the Cantor Purchase Agreement with CFPI relating to the Equity Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the Cantor Purchase Agreement, New Intuitive Machines will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its sole discretion, until the first day of the month following the 18-month period from and after the Commencement, to direct CFPI to purchase up to the lesser of (i) $50 million of newly issued New Intuitive Machines Class A Common Stock and (ii) the Exchange Cap, by delivering written notice to CFPI prior to the commencement of trading on any trading day, subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement. In connection with the execution of the Cantor Purchase Agreement, Inflection Point agreed to issue the Commitment Shares to CFPI. The Commitment Shares are reflected in the capitalization table under the no redemptions scenario; however no pro forma adjustment has been applied related to these shares in this scenario as no cash is exchanged and the par value is immaterial.

211

Table of Contents

Proceeds related to the Equity Facility are fully reflected under the maximum redemptions scenario exclusively, as it is the intent of New Intuitive Machines to exercise its right to direct CFPI to make a purchase under the Equity Facility, only to the extent required to keep the minimum cash coming from the Business Combination at $105 million. The Equity Facility will be accounted for as a purchased put option under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Commitment Shares issued to CFPI in accordance with the Cantor Purchase Agreement will be classified as equity.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to the transaction accounting required for the Business Combination and Transactions. The adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined entity upon the Closing.

Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are described in the accompanying notes thereto. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the Business Combination and related transactions occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of Inflection Point following the completion of the Transactions. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent Inflection Point management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

Inflection Point and Intuitive Machines have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.
