American Marconi Wireless News - Nixxy Completes Separation of CognoGroup, Increasing Strategic Focus, Reducing Operating Costs, and Unlocking Shareholder Value as AI Infrastructure Platform Scales Into 2026

As part of the separation, Nixxy has streamlined its corporate structure and eliminated Marketplace-related, which management believes will reduce operating complexity and decrease operational costs as the Company advances its AI-native communications and data infrastructure roadmap. Following the transaction, Nixxy is now fully focused on scaling its AI-native communications and data infrastructure platform, while CognoGroup operates independently with a dedicated mandate to build and grow technology-enabled businesses focused on human capability, talent, and learning.

"This transaction is about focus and execution," said Mike Schmidt, Chief Executive Officer of Nixxy. "After a year of rapid revenue growth and platform scaling, we believe this separation positions Nixxy to move faster, operate more efficiently, and continue building long-term value as we head into 2026. Importantly, it also reduces the operational costs associated with maintaining a non-core business, improving our operating leverage as we scale."

What This Means for Shareholders

• Clearer investment thesis: Nixxy is now a more focused, pure-play AI communications and data infrastructure company.

• Direct ownership in two public companies: Eligible Nixxy shareholders are expected to receive CognoGroup shares via a pro rata distribution, retaining upside exposure to both businesses.

• Improved simplicity and transparency: The separation is intended to simplify financial reporting, capital allocation, and operational priorities, supporting scalability and investor clarity.

Transaction Overview

• Completed separation: The Marketplace business has been fully separated into CognoGroup, which now operates as an independent public company.

• Shareholder distribution: Nixxy is expects to file a Form 10 registration statement with the SEC to distribute its CognoGroup shares to eligible Nixxy shareholders

• Independent execution: Each company now operates with its own management focus, strategy, and growth priorities.

Strategic Impact for Nixxy
Nixxy believes the completion of the separation from CognoGroup strengthens its ability to execute on its 2026 objectives, including:

• Scaling AI-driven global voice and messaging infrastructure

• Expanding high-margin, marketing-driven traffic strategies

• Deploying AI across routing, diagnostics, and monetizable data layers

• Advancing toward sustained operational profitability

"With our revenue run-rate growth, the appointment of a new CFO, and this structural simplification now complete, we believe Nixxy is entering 2026 with momentum, clarity, and a stronger foundation for scale," Schmidt added.
