Das Unternehmen schloss am 17.

Juli 2025 ein öffentliches Angebot ab, das Nettoerlöse von rund $4,800 einbrachte, verkaufte einen Schuldschein für etwa $2,320 und erhielt Zugang zu zusätzlicher Factoring-Finanzierung (up to 0,000). Das Management gibt an, dass es glaubt, diese Erlöse zusammen mit dem Kassenbestand zum 30. Juni 2025 seien ausreichend, um die Verpflichtungen für die zwölf Monate nach dem Einreichungsdatum zu erfüllen.

Insights
TL;DR: Liquidity improved by financing and asset-sale steps, but losses, a high-interest note, and equity deficit leave execution risk.
Sonim reported persistent operating losses (six-month net loss $7.0M) and used substantial operating cash ($14.5M). Cash at June 30, 2025 was $2.0M while current liabilities were $35.7M; a promissory note carrying an effective interest rate of 22.6% produced a current debt portion of $2.916M, creating near-term cash-service pressure. The July 2025 offering ($4.8M net) and subsequent note proceeds ($2.32M) materially improved near-term liquidity, but the company remains with an accumulated deficit of $290.6M and an equity deficit of $1.334M. Revenue remains concentrated (Customer A ~44% of quarterly revenue) and operating results continue to be loss-making, so the company's ability to stabilize requires successful execution of the announced asset sale or alternative strategic actions.
TL;DR: The $15M asset sale with up to $5M earn-out and permissive RTO option is a material liquidity and value-realization event.
The Asset Purchase Agreement to sell substantially all enterprise 5G solutions assets for $15,000 cash (plus up to $5,000 earn-out tied to Net Revenue above $70,000 for the 12 months ending June 30, 2026) is a significant monetization step. The agreement contains customary working capital and adjustment mechanics, an earn-out formula, a termination fee of $1,000 under certain scenarios, and permits the company to pursue a reverse takeover (RTO) to repurpose the public vehicle. The transaction is not conditioned on financing and includes a fiduciary out for Superior Proposals. If closed and if earn-out performance is achieved, this could substantially alter Sonim's remaining obligations and provide a clearer path for stockholder value realization.

Cautionary Note about Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains statements that we believe are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Those forward-looking statements are intended to enjoy the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by that act as well as protections afforded by other federal securities laws. Generally, words such as “achieve,” “aim,” “ambitions,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “committed,” “continue,” “could,” “designed,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “goals,” “grow,” “guidance,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “milestone,” “objective,” “on track,” “opportunity,” “outlook,” “pending,” “plan,” “position,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “progress,” “roadmap,” “seek,” “should,” “strive,” “targets,” “to be,” “upcoming,” “will,” “would,” and variations of such words and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which are not historical in nature. Forward-looking statements may appear throughout this Quarterly Report and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including without limitation, the following sections:
(i) | Note 8 “Commitments and Contingencies” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the possible outcome of, and future effect on our financial condition and results of operations of, certain litigations and other proceedings to which we are a party; | |
(ii) | Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” including the statements with regard to the future changes to our business and our expectations regarding our strategy, our strategic alternatives search process and vision of the future of the company, future cash requirements, assessment of our liquidity, the availability, uses, sufficiency, and cost of capital resources, and sources of funding, and future products, services, and technologies; and | |
(iii) | Part I, Item 4. “Controls and Procedures,” including the description of limitations on effectiveness of controls and procedures. |
Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:
● | our ability to meet expectations regarding the timing and completion of the declared strategic initiatives to return value to stockholders; | |
● | our ability to complete the asset purchase agreement and the consequences if we fail to do so; | |
● | our ability to identify a suitable reverse merger target and successfully negotiate and consummate a transaction; | |
● | the availability of cash on hand and other sources of liquidity to fund our operations and grow our business; | |
● | our ability to compete effectively depends on multiple factors and we may not be able to continue to develop solutions to address user needs effectively; | |
● | risks associated with potential hostile takeover attempts or shareholder activism, which may divert management’s attention, jeopardize strategic initiatives, and require significant resources; | |
● | we may be negatively impacted by changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs; | |
● | we may not be able to continue to develop solutions to address user needs effectively, including our next-generation products, which could materially adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to continue operations; |
ii |
● | a small number of customers account for a significant portion of our revenue; | |
● | failure to meet the Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements and other Nasdaq rules could adversely affect the price of our common stock and make it more difficult for us to sell securities in a future financing or for you to sell our common stock; | |
● | the financial and operational projections that we may provide from time to time are subject to inherent risks; | |
● | our ability to incorporate emerging technologies into our new consumer products given the lengthy development cycle; | |
● | our ability to adapt to shortened customer lead times and tightened inventory controls from our key customers; | |

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(In Thousands, except Share and Per Share Amounts)
NOTE 1 — The Company and Its Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Sonim
Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware on
The Company is executing a strategic expansion initiative, focusing on broadening its market reach with new products, geographical footprint, and customer segments including enterprise, small and medium business, and prosumers. This strategy is underpinned by a strong emphasis on execution. The Company has introduced new product categories: Connected Solutions featuring wireless internet products, a next-generation rugged smartphone, and a new range of mid and low-tier professional rugged phones, all boasting IP ratings, MIL-STD-810H standards, and elements of Sonim’s Rugged Performance Standards (“RPS”), highlighting the Company’s value proposition to target markets.
During the second half of 2024 and through the filing date of this report, the Company launched the following products:
● | Sonim H500-series of 5G mobile hotspots available at Verizon and Verizon Frontline Verified, UScellular, and Bell in North America, as well as at select carriers and through the Company’s distribution partners in Europe; | |
● | Sonim MegaConnect, the world’s first 5G High Powered User Equipment (HPUE) rugged mobile hotspot, available at AT&T Business and FirstNet® in the United States, and is also FirstNet Trusted; | |
● | Sonim H100 4G mobile hotspot available through Telia Finland and distribution partners in Europe; | |
● | XP100 4G and XP400 5G professional rugged phones available through Deutsche Telekom in Germany and distribution partners in Europe and South Africa; | |
● | XP Pro 5G rugged smartphone available through Verizon and Verizon Frontline Verified, AT&T and FirstNet Ready, and T-Mobile and certified for T-Priority in the United States, Bell, Telus, Rogers, and SaskTel in Canada, and through select distributors in Europe the Middle East, and Africa; | |
● | XP Pro Thermal 5G rugged smartphone available in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa through select distributors; and | |
● | XP3plus 5G rugged flip phone available through T-Mobile and certified for T-Priority. |
5 |
Additionally, the XP10 is available through the Company’s distribution partners in EMEA and Australia. Most of these products are supported by the SonimWare™ platform and enterprise services. In the first half of 2025, all of the Company’s new products that launched with tier-one carriers in the United States included a certification associated with carrier first responder initiatives, including FirstNet Ready, FirstNet Trusted, Verizon Frontline Certified, and T-Mobile certified for T-Priority. In the first half of 2025 the Company also announced the upcoming launch and availability of the XP Pro Thermal 5G smartphone for Europe which includes an SDK-enabled Sonim IRIS software for custom application development and an integrated thermal camera by FLIR® that benefits a number of vertical trades such as electricians, plumbers, public safety, construction, agriculture, amongst others.
A significant revenue driver in the first quarter of 2024 was a range of low-priced products developed under Sonim’s original design manufacturer (“ODM”) model, emphasizing high-volume and low-margin production tailored to a specific customer’s needs. These sales concluded in the first quarter of 2024 due to its life cycle end. The ODM model does not represent the Company’s core business strategy.
Proposed Transaction with Social Mobile and Announced Strategic Initiatives
As further described in Note 11, Subsequent Events, below, on July 17, 2025, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, as seller, Pace Car Acquisition LLC, as buyer, (the “Buyer”), the Seller Representative named in the Asset Purchase Agreement, and, Social Mobile Technology Holdings LLC (the “Parent”), solely for the purpose of guaranteeing complete payment and performance obligations of the Buyer contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
The Asset Purchase Agreement pertains to the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Company also announced a strategic initiative to pursue a potential reverse takeover transaction in addition to the consummation of the asset sale, with the objective of maximizing stockholder value. This transaction would allow the public vehicle to continue as a reporting entity under a new name and trading symbol, and with a new business focus.
Reverse Stock Split
On
July 17, 2024, the Company effected a
The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of the common stock or the authorized number of shares of common stock. All outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants entitling their holders to purchase or obtain or convert into shares of our common stock were adjusted, as required by the terms of these securities.
The Company’s stockholders’ equity, in the aggregate, remained unchanged following the Reverse Stock Split. Net income (loss) per share increased because there were fewer shares of common stock outstanding. There were no other accounting consequences, including changes to the amount of stock-based compensation expense to be recognized in any period, that arose as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
All common share and per-share amounts in this Form 10-Q have been retroactively restated to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.
Liquidity and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements account for the continuation of its business as a going concern. The
Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the development and release of new products. The Company’s principal
sources of liquidity as of June 30, 2025, consist of existing cash and cash equivalents of $

Basis of presentation and preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sonim Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Sonim” or the “Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
As discussed above, all per share amounts and common shares amounts have been adjusted on a retroactive basis to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split. Proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable under all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants. In addition, proportionate adjustments have been made to the number of shares of common stock reserved for the Company’s equity incentive awards.
Promissory Notes
The Company accounts for promissory notes in accordance with ASC 470, Debt. Promissory notes are initially recorded at the amount of cash proceeds received, net of any original issue discount and direct issuance costs. Debt discounts and issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the note using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Interest is accrued based on the stated interest rate.
Prior period reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

NOTE 2 — Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the sale of products, including mobile phones, connected devices, and accessories, and the majority of the Company’s contracts include only one performance obligation, namely the delivery of product. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is defined as the unit of account for revenue recognition under ASC 606. The Company also recognizes revenue from other contracts that may include a combination of products and NRE services or from the provision of solely NRE services. Where there is a combination of products and NRE services, the Company accounts for the promises as individual performance obligations if they are concluded as distinct. Performance obligations are considered distinct if they are both capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. In determining whether performance obligations meet the criteria for being distinct, the Company considers a number of factors, such as the degree of interrelation and interdependence between obligations, and whether or not the good or service significantly modifies or transforms another good or service in the contract. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company did not have any contracts in which the products and NRE services were concluded to be a single performance obligation. In certain cases, the Company may offer tiered pricing based on volumes purchased for specific model phones. To date, all tiered pricing provisions have fallen into observable ranges of pricing to existing customers, thus, not resulting in any material right which could be concluded as its own performance obligation. In addition, the Company does not offer material post-contract support services to its customers.
Net revenue for an individual contract is recognized at the related transaction price, which is the amount the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the goods and/or services. The transaction price for product sales is calculated as the product selling price net of variable consideration which may include estimates for marketing development funds, sales incentives, and price protection and stock rotation rights. The Company generally does not offer a right of return to its customers, except for certain distributors where the company estimates future returns and reduces revenue on sales subject to return and maintains a reserve for returns allowance. Typically, variable consideration does not need to be constrained as estimates are based on specific contract terms. However, the Company continues to assess variable consideration estimates such that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. The transaction price for a contract with multiple performance obligations is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices for products are determined based on the prices charged to customers, which are directly observable. The standalone selling price of the professional services are mostly based on time and materials. The Company determines its estimates of variable consideration based on historical collection experience with similar payor classes, aged accounts receivable by payor class, terms of payment agreements, correspondence from payors related to revenue audits or reviews, its historical settlement activity of audited and reviewed claims and current economic conditions using the portfolio approach. Revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative amount recognized will not occur in future periods.
Revenue is then recognized for each distinct performance obligation as control is transferred to the customer. Revenue attributable to hardware is recognized at the time control of the product transfers to the customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company has a present right to payment and title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products or services are transferred to its customers. For most of the Company’s revenue attributable to hardware, control transfers when products are shipped. Revenue attributable to professional services is recognized as the Company performs the professional services for the customer.
The
Company maintains agreements with certain customers that include provisions for product allowances under specific conditions. Accruals
for these agreements are based on available customer-specific data or, when such data is not available, relevant historical trends. These
costs are recognized as a reduction to revenue. Based on the terms of these agreements, any unused accruals are released and recognized
as revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company finalized agreements which resulted in the reduction of accruals
by approximately $

Contract costs
Applying the practical expedient, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred when the amortization period of the assets that otherwise would have been recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in sales and marketing expenses.
The
non-recurring costs associated with design and development of new products for technical approval represent costs to fulfill a contract
pursuant to ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Accordingly, the Company capitalizes these contract fulfillment costs
and amortizes such costs over the estimated period of time they are expected to be recovered, which is typically three to four years,

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, until all of the Company’s obligations under the Note and all other transaction documents are paid and performed in full, the Company agreed to comply with certain covenants, including but not limited to the following: (i) compliance with its filing requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) maintaining the Company’s listing on a national securities exchange, and (iii) refraining from making any Restricted Issuances (as defined in the Purchase Agreement and described below) without the Lender’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in the Lender’s sole discretion.
Subject to certain customary exceptions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Restricted Issuances include the incurrence or guaranty of any debt obligations other than trade payables in the ordinary course of business, the issuance of any convertible securities in which the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to a conversion right, or the conversion price, varies with the market price of the Company’s common stock, the issuance of any securities with reset provisions and the issuance of any securities in connection with Section 3(a)(9) exchange, a Section 3(a)(10) settlement, or any other similar settlement or exchange. Restricted Issuances do not include ATM facilities, commercial bank loans or lines of credit, leases, grants pursuant to the Company’s incentive plans, and change-in-control transactions that result in full repayment of the Note upon consummation.
The Purchase Agreement also contains a “most favored nation” clause. Under this provision, for as long as the Note remains outstanding, if the Company issues any debt security with more favorable economic terms or conditions not similarly provided to the Lender, the Company must notify the Lender. At the Lender’s option, such favorable terms will become part of the Note and related transaction documents.

NOTE 7 — Income Taxes
For
the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded provisions for income taxes of $
The Company’s material income tax jurisdictions are the United States (federal and California), China and India. As a result of net operating loss and credit carryforwards, the Company is subject to audit for tax years 2017 and forward for federal and 2015 and forward for California purposes. The China and India tax years are open under the statute of limitations from 2014 and 2020, respectively, and forward.
The
Company is subject to ongoing tax examinations of its tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities in various
jurisdictions. In accordance with the guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company regularly assesses the
likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. These assessments
can require considerable estimates and judgments. As of June 30, 2025, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was approximately
$
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted into law. With the passing of this tax legislation, the most notable corporate tax issue that impacts the Company is the change to IRC §174. Since 2022, the Company has been required to capitalize U.S. and foreign research and development expenditures in accordance with IRC §174 and amortize those costs over 5 years for U.S. costs and 15 years for foreign costs. The new legislation will no longer require U.S. research and development costs to be capitalized; however, foreign costs will continue to be capitalized and amortized over 15 years. U.S. costs that were capitalized in tax years 2022 through 2024 can be expensed in 2025 or over a two-year period, 2025 and 2026. Since the legislation was enacted subsequent to June 30, 2025, there was no accelerated deduction for prior year U.S. capitalized costs during the period ended June 30, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the OBBBA will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

General litigation
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these other matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
AJP and Orbic Litigation
On April 24, 2025, AJP Holding Company, LLC (“AJP”) on behalf of itself and Orbic North America, LLC (“Orbic”), filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company and directors Mike Mulica, James Cassano, Peter Liu, and Jack Steenstra (the “Complaint”). The Complaint alleged that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties and seeks, among other relief, a declaration to that effect and an injunction prohibiting enforcement of certain provisions of the Company’s amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”) in connection with the purported notice of nomination (the “Notice”) of proposing a competing slate of directors for election at the Company’s 2025 annual meeting, as more fully described in the Complaint. The Notice was submitted on the evening of Thursday, March 20, 2025—fewer than two business days before the nomination deadline of Saturday, March 22, 2025—and was determined to be deficient for failing to include all information required under the Bylaws.
At
that time, AJP beneficially owned approximately
Orbic and AJP also filed a motion for expedited proceedings with their Complaint. The Delaware Court of Chancery granted the motion for expedited proceedings on May 2, 2025.
On May 11, 2025, the Company’s board of directors determined it was advisable and in the best interests of Sonim to waive the deficiency in the Notice rather than to engage in a protracted litigation. On the same day, Sonim’s counsel notified Orbic’s counsel of the same, thereby rendering the litigation moot. On June 2, 2025, the Complaint was dismissed without prejudice.
Indemnification
Under the terms of its agreements with wireless carriers and other partners, the Company has agreed to provide indemnification for intellectual property infringement claims related to the Company’s products sold by them to their end customers. From time to time, the Company receives notices from these wireless carriers and other partners of a claim for infringement of intellectual property rights potentially related to their products. These infringement claims have been settled, dismissed, have not been further pursued by the customers, or are pending further action by the Company.

(iii) | by either party if the Stockholder Approval is not obtained; | |
(iv) | by either party if the Asset Purchase Agreement is not consummated within 180 calendar days after the date of the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement, i.e., January 13, 2026 (the “Outside Date”); | |

Our rugged smartphones represented 57% of our total net revenues, 19% of which related to the expiration of customer allowance agreements, while feature phones were 31% of our total net revenues, and connected solutions were 11% of our total net revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, wireless carriers contributed 88% of our total net revenues, with our top three carrier customers accounting for 80% of our total net revenues. Our rugged smartphones represented 43% of our total net revenues, while feature phones were 34% of our total net revenues, and connected solutions were 20% of our total net revenues.
In alignment with Sonim Technologies’ commitment to quality, reliability, and regulatory compliance, we have prioritized our Trade Agreements Act (“TAA”) initiatives. TAA compliance is crucial in enhancing our market strategy, particularly in expanding opportunities within government and enterprise markets, which demand stringent adherence to regulatory standards. By ensuring our products meet TAA requirements, we reinforce our position as a trusted provider of enterprise 5G solutions.
This initiative underscores our dedication to delivering products that not only meet industry-leading standards but also comply with U.S. federal procurement regulations, thereby enhancing our competitiveness in securing government contracts.
Looking ahead, Sonim is focused on bringing our new products and solutions offering to our expanded portfolio throughout 2025.
Pending Asset Purchase Agreement with Social Mobile and Announced Strategic Initiatives
On July 17, 2025, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, as seller, Pace Car Acquisition LLC, as buyer, (the “Buyer”), the Seller Representative named in the Asset Purchase Agreement, and, Social Mobile Technology Holdings LLC (the “Parent”), solely for the purpose of guaranteeing complete payment and performance obligations of the Buyer contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Buyer agreed to acquire substantially all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries related to the Company’s enterprise 5G solutions business, including rugged handsets, smartphones, wireless internet devices, software, services, and accessories (collectively, the “Business”) for a purchase price of $15.0 million in cash, subject to (i) customary working capital, indebtedness and transaction expense adjustments (referred to in the Asset Purchase Agreement as the “Adjustment Amount,” which may be a positive or a negative number) and (ii) up to $5.0 million in the form of an earn-out payment, if earned. The Asset Purchase Agreement permits the Company to pursue a reverse merger (“RTO”) with the currently anticipated target or an alternative target, provided that any such transaction is complementary to and not a substitute for the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.
For additional information, refer to Note 11, Subsequent Events, to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this report.
Because the transaction contemplates the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets, the Company concurrently announced a strategic initiative to pursue a potential RTO, in addition to completing the asset sale, with the objective of maximizing stockholder value. If consummated, the RTO would allow the public company to continue as an SEC-reporting entity under a new name and trading symbol, and with a new business focus. There can be no assurance that the Asset Purchase Agreement or any RTO transaction will ultimately be consummated timely or at all.
Recent Developments
Recent Product Awards
The first step in selling our products through wireless telecommunications carriers is to receive a product award from the carrier. The award documents the intent of the carrier to carry the proposed product and offer it to customers through their stores or online. The carrier and Sonim agree to a launch date that is generally nine months or longer from the date of the product award. After the product award, the Company and its partners complete the design that includes the unique specifications from the carrier, test the device, obtain certification from the carrier to sell the device, and begin full scale manufacturing of the product based on purchase orders issued by the carrier.
As of the filing date of this report, Sonim is completing the development, testing and certification of new products that it expects to launch in the second half of 2025 with various carriers.

We used the net proceeds from the private placement for working capital and general corporate purposes.
ATM Offering
On August 6, 2024, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”). Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company could sell up to an aggregate of $8.9 million in shares of common stock through Roth, as sales agent. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, a total of 3,480,277 shares of common stock were sold under the Sales Agreement for net proceeds of $8.2 million after payment of commission fees and other related expenses of $0.3 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has completed its sales of shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement and the ATM program has been terminated.
Sales of shares of our common stock made pursuant to the Sales Agreement were made under the effective Registration Statement on Form S-3. Roth was entitled to compensation at a commission rate of 3% of the gross sales price per share. For additional information, refer to Note 5, Stockholders’ Equity, to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this report under the title “ATM Offering.”
Registered Public Offering
On July 2, 2025, the Company consummated a best-efforts public offering (the “Offering”) of 7,400,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $0.75 per share. In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investor signatories thereto for the purchase of shares of common stock described above.
Roth served as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering. The Company paid Roth a cash fee of 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised at the closing of the Offering, and reimbursement of certain expenses and legal fees in the amount of $0.1 million. The Company also issued to designees of Roth warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 208,875 shares of common stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of $0.75 per share, are not exercisable until January 2, 2026, and expire on July 2, 2030.
The net proceeds of the Offering are approximately $4.8 million, after deducting the Placement Agent fees and expenses and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used the net proceeds of the Offering for overall business strategy, for working capital purposes and for general corporate purposes.
Receivables Financing Agreements
To improve its liquidity, on September 23, 2024, the Company entered into an invoice purchase agreement (the “Receivables Financing Agreement”) with LS DE LLC (“LS”), pursuant to which LS will provide receivables factoring to the Company, pursuant to which LS will advance 80% of the face value of the receivables being sold by the Company, up to a maximum of $2.5 million of eligible customer invoices from the Company. As of June 30, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Receivables Financing Agreement. For additional information, refer to Note 1, The Company and Its Significant Accounting Policies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this report under the title “Receivables Financing Agreement.”
To improve its liquidity, on August 7, 2025, the Company entered into a factoring agreement (the “Additional Receivables Financing Agreement”) with Tradewind GmbH (“Tradewind”), pursuant to which Tradewind will provide international receivables factoring to the Company, pursuant to which Tradewind will advance 85% of the face value of the receivables being sold by the Company, up to a maximum of €3.0 million of eligible customer invoices from the Company. For additional information, refer to Note 11, Subsequent Events, to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this report under the title “Additional Receivables Financing Agreement.”

Promissory Notes
On February 21, 2025, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Lender pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Lender the Note. Starting on August 21, 2025, the Lender may exercise its right to redeem up to $330,000 of the Note per calendar month. For additional information, refer to Note 4, Promissory Note, to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this report.
On July 11, 2025, the Company entered into an additional note purchase agreement with the Lender pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Lender an additional promissory note (the “July Note”). Starting on January 11, 2026, the Lender may exercise its right to redeem up to $275,000 of the July Note per calendar month. Additionally, the July Note was secured by a first-priority interest in all of the Company’s assets. The July Note requires the Company to prepay an amount equal to not less than 33% of the net proceeds received from any equity or debt financing. For additional information, refer to Note 11, Subsequent Events, to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained within this report.
The exercise of the Lender’s redemption rights under either note or the Company’s obligation to make prepayments under the July Note may reduce the Company’s liquidity.
Impairment of Contract Fulfillment Assets
The non-recurring costs associated with design and development of new products for technical approval represent costs to fulfill a contract pursuant to ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Accordingly, the Company capitalizes these contract fulfillment costs and amortizes such costs over the estimated period of time that the product will be sold, which is typically three to four years. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the net contract fulfillment assets were $8,014 and $6,399, respectively.
If the Company determines that such contract fulfillment costs are not expected to be recovered, it records an impairment in the period such determination is made. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment of contract fulfillment assets of $3.2 million due to a decrease in projected profit of one of its hotspots and the cancellation of a consumer durable product. This product was cancelled because higher than anticipated manufacturing costs eliminated the expected profit margin on the product. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an impairment of contract fulfillment assets of $1.1 million due to the end of life of a legacy smartphone, which is included in cost of revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Macroeconomic Events
Worldwide economic and political uncertainties and negative trends, including tariffs and increasing trade protectionism, inflation, tensions between the U.S. and China, financial and credit market fluctuations, recession risks, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, political election cycles, changes in laws and interpretations of laws, changes in the volume and relative mix of U.S. government spending, cost-cutting and efficiency initiatives and potential disruptions from international conflicts and acts of terrorism, have impacted and may continue to impact our business and the business of our customers, while also disrupting sales channels and advertising and marketing activities. See “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q for further discussion of the possible impact of these factors and other risks on our business.
We have implemented and continue to implement measures to address those challenges. We also continue to actively manage our inventory and establish a relationship with third-party manufacturers in an effort to minimize supply chain disruptions. Nevertheless, the above-described events had and will continue to impact the global macroeconomic and geopolitical environments, capital and commodity markets, and global supply chains, which may have an adverse impact on our operations and hinder our ability to access capital, if needed. Our cost of revenue may increase if the component prices increase.

Results of Operations
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year or in any future period. Historically, we have experienced higher revenues following the release of new products and start of sales with additional carriers and distributors.
The following tables present key components of our results of operations (dollars in thousands):

Total Net Revenues
Total net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased by $0.3 million compared to 2024. This decrease reflects the decrease in sales of our legacy phones, partially offset by sales of replacement products that were launched after the second quarter of 2024. During the second quarter of 2025, certification and testing delayed shipments of our new XP Pro smartphone that replaced our legacy XP10 smartphone. We expect sales of our XP Pro to increase in the third quarter of 2025 as our production increases to meet demand and as we launch the product with additional carriers. Third quarter of 2025 revenue for our XP Pro with a thermal camera will be higher because shipments that were expected to be completed in the second quarter were delayed and were delivered in July of 2025.
Total net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased by $0.4 million compared to 2024. The six months ended June 30, 2024, includes $7.7 million in revenue from white label products sold to a related party, and we had no white label revenue in 2025. The six months ended June 30, 2025, includes $5.5 million related to the expiration of customer allowance agreements as three of our legacy phones approach end-of-life. Sales of our H500 hotspot that we launched with a U.S. carrier in the second half of 2024 increased revenue in 2025 by $2.0 million. We expect an increase in revenue in the second half of 2025 as our new XP Pro launches with additional carriers, as shipments of our XP Pro with a thermal camera increase, and after we launch our new HPUE hotspot.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $1.8 million as compared to 2024. The second quarter of 2025 included $1.1 million related to the impairment of contract fulfillment assets, as well as additional costs related to tariffs.
Cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025, decreased by $3.7 million as compared to 2024. The six months ended June 30, 2025, includes $5.5 million in revenue related to the expiration of customer allowance agreements, which had no related cost of revenues. The six months ended June 30, 2024, had higher cost of revenues from white label product sales that had a cost of revenues percentage of approximately 94%.
Gross Profit and Margin
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased by $2.1 million compared to 2024 primarily due to the $1.1 million impairment of contract fulfillment assets, as well as additional costs related to tariffs in the second quarter of 2025. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was 8%, which reflects the negative impact of the impairment of contract fulfillment assets and additional tariff costs mentioned above, compared to 17% in 2024.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $3.3 million compared to 2024 primarily due to the $5.5 million in revenue related to the expiration of customer allowance agreements in 2025. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was 33%, which reflects the positive impact from the expiration of customer allowance agreements that have no related cost of sales, compared to 21% in 2024, which reflects the negative impact of white label products that had a gross margin of approximately 6%.
26 |
Research and Development
R&D expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $0.4 million compared to 2024, primarily due to there being limited R&D projects during the second quarter of 2024. In 2025, R&D expenses were primarily from internal work on the development of new variants of our XP Pro, including a version with a thermal camera, the HPUE hotspot, the XP400 phone for Europe, and the updated 5G version of our XP3plus. In the third quarter of 2025 we expect to continue to incur R&D expenses for many of these products.
R&D expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $1.5 million compared to 2024, primarily due to there being limited R&D projects during the first half of 2024. In 2025, R&D expenses were primarily from internal work on the development of new variants of our XP Pro, including a version with a thermal camera, the HPUE hotspot, the XP400 phone for Europe, and the updated 5G version of our XP3plus.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $0.2 million compared to 2024 primarily due to an increase in marketing spend to support new products in 2025, and compliance work for Europe.
Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $1.0 million compared to 2024 primarily due to an increase in marketing spend to support new products in 2025, and compliance work for Europe.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $0.8 million compared to 2024 primarily due to an increase in legal and other expenses related to the hostile takeover attempt, and the divestiture activity being pursued by the Company.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $1.0 million compared to 2024 primarily due to an increase in legal expenses.
Impairment of Contract Fulfillment Assets
Impairment of contract fulfillment assets for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was $3.2 million, resulting from the Company’s determination that it would not recover the contract fulfillment costs capitalized due to a decrease in projected profit for one of its hotspots and the cancellation of the consumer durable product.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we have funded operations from a combination of public and private equity financings, and through the issuance of debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 we received net proceeds of $9.0 million from the sale of our common stock, and we received net proceeds of $2.8 million from the issuance of the Note.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we reported a net loss of $7.0 million and used $14.5 million in operating cash flow. As of June 30, 2025, our principal source of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents totaling $2.0 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, we received net proceeds of approximately $4.8 million from the sale of shares through our registered public offering and net proceeds of approximately $2.3 million from the sale of the July Note. We also have access to up to $2.5 million under our Receivables Financing Agreement. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, we signed an additional receivables financing agreement for international receivables, which gives us access to up to €3.0 million. As a result of the July Note, we are obligated to use not less than 33% of the amount raised in any fundraising or financing transaction for prepayment of the July Note. We plan to continue to leverage multiple sources of liquidity to maintain flexibility to meet our capital needs. We expect these sources of liquidity to be sufficient to offset any future operating losses and to fund the development of new products over the next year. Increased revenue from new products is expected to further improve cash flow over the next year. We expect to meet all obligations with existing cash and subsequent funding for a period of at least one year from the date of release of the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the periods presented (in thousands):
Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
2025 | 2024 | |||||||
Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (14,488 | ) | $ | (3,560 | ) | ||
Net cash used in investing activities | — | (69 | ) | |||||
Net cash provided by financing activities | 11,151 | 3,832 | ||||||
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (3,337 | ) | $ | 203 |
Cash flows from operating activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $14.5 million, primarily attributable to net cash used in a change in net operating assets and liabilities of $6.2 million and a net loss of $7.0 million, excluding net non-cash operating activity of $1.3 million. The change in net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to net payments made on accounts payable and accrued liabilities and an increase in contract fulfillment assets, which are capitalized costs for product certifications, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable. Non-cash charges primarily consist of $5.5 million related to the expiration of customer allowance agreements, $1.9 million in depreciation and amortization, $1.2 million for stock-based compensation, and $1.1 million for the impairment of contract fulfillment assets related to the end of life of our legacy products.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $3.6 million, primarily attributable to a net loss of $9.5 million, excluding net non-cash operating activity of $5.9 million, partially offset by net cash provided by a change in net operating assets and liabilities of $0.1 million. Non-cash charges primarily consist of $3.2 million in impairment charges related to contract fulfillment assets, $1.7 million in depreciation and amortization, and $0.8 million for stock-based compensation. The change in net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in trade accounts receivable and inventory and an increase in account payables and accrued expenses, partially offset by an increase in non-trade and related party receivables, prepaid inventory, and contract fulfillment assets.
Cash flows from investing activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, there were no significant investing activities.
Cash flows from financing activities

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of our control. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, our management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate.
A description of our critical accounting policies that represent the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements was provided in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Segment Information
We have one business activity and operate in one reportable segment.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, prior to filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance, and not absolute assurance, that the desired control objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals in all future circumstances. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
For information regarding our material legal proceedings, see “Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies” in the accompanying “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There are no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as set forth below.
The risk factor titled “We may become a ‘controlled company’ within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, may qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If we rely on these exemptions, our stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements” is deleted in its entirety.
The risk factor titled “Changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and restrictions and the resulting consequences, may have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition” is amended and restated as follows:
Changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and restrictions and the resulting consequences, may have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
We cannot predict what changes to trade policy will be made, or the economic impact that changes to trade policy will have, including significant increases in tariffs on goods imported into the United States, particularly tariffs on products manufactured abroad, including China and other countries, and the length of time such tariffs may remain in place, or whether the entry into new bilateral or multilateral trade agreements will occur. The U.S. has imposed tariffs on foreign imports into the United States on 180 countries and territories, which range from 10% to 145%, including, most relevant to us, an additional 145% tariff on all imports from China, provided, that an exemption was granted to smartphones and certain other items. These tariffs may further increase the cost of our products and could negatively impact our results of operations. At this time, it remains unclear what additional actions, if any, will be taken by the U.S. or other governments with respect to international trade agreements, the imposition of additional tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., tax policy related to international commerce, increased export control, sanctions and investment restrictions, or other trade matters. Although the ultimate scope and timing of any such actions is currently indeterminable, if implemented, they could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. If further tariffs are imposed on a broader range of imports, further retaliatory trade measures are taken by various countries in response to tariffs, or efforts are made to withdraw from or substantially modify such agreements, then we may be required to raise our prices or incur additional expenses.
In addition, the FCC rules prohibit communications equipment deemed to pose an unacceptable risk to national security from obtaining the equipment authorization that allows the products to be imported, marketed, or sold in the U.S. If any of our product components were to be classified under these restrictions, we could face regulatory hurdles, supply chain disruptions, and lost revenue opportunities, which could have a material impact on our operations and financial results. Additionally, evolving national security policies and heightened scrutiny of foreign-manufactured telecommunications equipment may further increase compliance costs and restrict our market access.
The adoption or expansion of trade restrictions, the escalation of a trade war, or other governmental actions related to tariffs, trade agreements, or prohibition of components of communication equipment, could negatively impact demand for our products, increase costs, disrupt our supply chain, and adversely affect our customers and suppliers. Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

The risk factor titled “Our business and operations could be negatively affected if we become subject to stockholder activism or hostile bids, which could cause us to incur significant expense, hinder execution of our business strategy and impact our stock price” is amended and restated as follows:
Our business and operations could be negatively affected if we become subject to stockholder activism or hostile bids, which could cause us to incur significant expense, hinder execution of our business strategy and impact our stock price.
Stockholder activism—ranging from proxy contests and hostile bids to public campaigns and litigation—has become increasingly prevalent. Declines in our stock price may heighten our vulnerability to unsolicited approaches, potentially disrupting our business strategy and operations.
Sonim has already been subjected to such activism. In January 2025, Orbic North America, LLC (“Orbic”), an affiliate of a competitor currently engaged in intellectual property litigation against us, commenced its campaign to acquire Sonim. In the course of its campaign, it formed a Section 13 with a major stockholder of Sonim, nominated an alternative slate of director nominees for the 2025 meeting of our stockholders, and purportedly submitted multiple bids to acquire Sonim. While Orbic ultimately failed in all fronts — stockholders elected the Company’s director nominees at the 2025 annual meeting and the Company entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement — we incurred significant expenses in connection with our defense against Orbic’s actions, and there can be no assurance that Orbic would not attempt to disrupt the Company’s initiatives, including the RTO search and the consummation of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
Responding to such actions by activist stockholders can be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our operations, and divert the attention of management and our board of directors. If AJP and Orbic are successful in the litigation and proxy contest, they could gain control of our board of directors, potentially pursuing actions advanced by our competitor that conflict with our long-term strategic objectives. Actions of AJP and Orbic may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer of Sonim from considering Sonim as a desirable acquisition target. The presence of an activist stockholder or the perception of a potential hostile takeover may create uncertainty regarding our future direction, strain relationships with business partners, and impact our ability to attract and retain key personnel.
The risk factor titled “We are required to meet the Nasdaq continued listing requirements and other Nasdaq rules, or we may risk delisting. Delisting could negatively affect the price of our common stock, which could make it more difficult for us to sell securities in a future financing or for you to sell our common stock.” is amended and restated as follows:
We are required to meet the Nasdaq continued listing requirements and other Nasdaq rules, or we may risk delisting. Delisting could negatively affect the price of our common stock, which could make it more difficult for us to sell securities in a future financing or for you to sell our common stock.
We are required to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq and other Nasdaq rules, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price and certain other corporate governance requirements. In particular, we are required to maintain a minimum bid price for our listed common stock of $1.00 per share (which we previously failed to meet resulting in two reverse stock splits in a five-year period in order to regain compliance) and either a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2,500,000, or a minimum market value of our common stock of at least $35,000,000. If we do not meet these continued listing requirements, our common stock could be delisted. We have a history of receiving deficiency letters from Nasdaq.
If Nasdaq delists our common stock from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our common stock on another national securities exchange, we expect our common stock could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
● | a limited availability of market quotations for our common stock; |
● | reduced liquidity for our common stock; |
● | a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities; |
● | negative publicity; |
● | a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; |
● | loss of eligibility to register the sale or resale of our securities on Form S-3; and |
● | a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. |
31 |
The risk factor titled “Some provisions of Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a change in control and may discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over its market price” is amended and restated as follows:
Some provisions of Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the adoption of the rights plan may delay or prevent a change in control and may discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over its market price.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide for, among other things:
● | the authorization of undesignated preferred stock, the terms of which may be established and shares of which may be issued without stockholder approval; |
● | advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals; and |
● | certain limitations on convening special stockholder meetings. |
These anti-takeover defenses could discourage, delay or prevent a transaction involving a change in control of our company or changes in our management, including transactions in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their common stock over then current market prices. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing and to cause us to take other corporate actions than you desire.
Additionally, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”), which prohibit a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder, generally a person which together with its affiliates owns, or within the last three years has owned, 15% of our voting stock, for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. These provisions of DGCL may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, and may discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over its market price.
Additionally, in April of 2025, we entered into the Rights Agreement, which was previously approved by our board. In connection with the Rights Agreement, a dividend was declared of one preferred stock purchase right for each share of the Common Stock of the Company outstanding at the Record Date (individually, a “Right” and collectively, the “Rights”). In general terms, the Rights Agreement imposes a significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires beneficial ownership of 15.5% (or, in the case of passive institutional investors, an amount of “less than 20%”) or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock without the approval of the Board. The Rights will expire on April 21, 2026
The Rights Agreement could have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in management or control over us. While there is no plan to do so at this time, our board may choose to extend the current Rights Agreement or adopt a new rights agreement in the future.
The risk factor titled “We are dependent on the continued services and performance of a concentrated and limited group of senior management and other key personnel, the loss of any of whom could adversely impact our business” is amended and restated as follows:
We are dependent on the continued services and performance of a concentrated and limited group of senior management and other key personnel, the loss of any of whom could adversely impact our business.
Our future success depends in large part on the continued contributions of a concentrated and limited group of senior management and other key personnel. Beginning in 2021, we outsourced substantially all of our manufacturing work to third parties. As of December 31, 2024, our worldwide employee headcount was 131 employees.
Due to the small size of our Company and our limited number of employees, each member of our executives, managers and other key personnel serves a critical role to our success. If we are unable to retain sufficiently experienced and capable employees, including those who can help us increase revenues generated from our end market segments, our business and financial results may suffer. The loss of the services of any additional executives, managers or other key personnel could impede the achievement of our strategic objectives, seriously harm our ability to successfully implement our business strategy and adversely impact our operating results. In addition, if additional executives, managers or other key personnel resign, retire or are terminated, or their service is otherwise interrupted, including due to global pandemics, we may not be able to replace them in a timely manner and we could experience significant declines in productivity and/or errors due to insufficient staffing or managerial oversight. Moreover, experienced and capable employees in the technology industry remain in high demand, and there is continual competition for their talents. Given our size, we may be at a disadvantage relative to our larger competitors in the competition for these personnel.
32 |
Moreover, our stockholders did not approve the proposed amendment to the Sonim Technologies, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan at our 2025 annual meeting, which would have authorized an additional 600,000 shares of common stock for issuance. As a result, no shares remain available for equity awards to our independent directors, officers, or employees. Combined with our limited cash resources, this restriction may limit our ability to offer competitive compensation packages, potentially undermining our efforts to retain and incentivize key talent. The inability to retain or adequately compensate our senior management and other key personnel could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and long-term value.
A group of risk factors titled “Risks Related to the Proposed Asset Purchase Agreement and Announced Strategic Initiatives” shall be added as follows:
The conditions under the Asset Purchase Agreement to our consummation of the proposed transaction may not be satisfied in the anticipated timeframe or at all.
Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the consummation of the proposed transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. There is no guarantee that all closing conditions will be satisfied (or waived, if permitted by the Asset Purchase Agreement and applicable law). Many of the conditions to consummation of the Asset Purchase Agreement are not within our control, and we cannot predict when or if these conditions will be satisfied (or waived, if permitted by the Asset Purchase Agreement and applicable law). Difficulties in otherwise satisfying the conditions may prevent, delay, or otherwise materially adversely affect the consummation of the proposed transaction.
If an event occurs delaying or preventing the proposed transaction, such delay or failure to complete the proposed transaction may create uncertainty or otherwise have negative consequences, including the payment to the Buyer an amount equal to the transaction expenses reasonably incurred by the Buyer and its affiliates, plus a termination fee equal to $1 million, which may materially and adversely affect our sales, financial condition and results of operations, as well as the price per share for our common stock, and could cause us not to realize some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve if the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement are successfully completed within its expected timeframe.
While the proposed transaction is pending, we are subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions that could disrupt our business.
Whether or not the proposed transaction is consummated, the proposed transaction may disrupt our current plans and operations, which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results. The uncertainties about the effect of the proposed transaction may impact our ability to retain, recruit, and hire employees and key personnel while the transaction is pending or if it fails to close. We may incur unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed transaction. Furthermore, we cannot predict how our current customers, prospective customers and other partners will view or react to the proposed transaction during the pendency or upon consummation of the proposed transaction. If we are unable to reassure our partners to continue their partnerships or affiliations with us, our revenues, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Employees and key personnel could experience uncertainty or face significant burdens from their commitment of substantial amounts of time and attention toward the completion of the proposed transaction. If, despite our efforts, key personnel depart because of these uncertainties and burdens, or because they do not wish to transition with the Social Mobile business post-closing, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. In addition, whether or not the proposed transaction is consummated, while it is pending we will continue to incur costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the proposed transaction, including legal, accounting, financial advisor, filing, printing and mailing fees, which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, the Asset Purchase Agreement generally requires the Company to operate its business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, pending consummation of the Asset Purchase Agreement, and also restricts us from taking certain actions with respect to our business and financial affairs without the consent of Social Mobile. Such restrictions will be in place until the Asset Purchase Agreement is either consummated or terminated. Such restrictions could adversely affect our business and results of operations prior to completion of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
33 |
We may never find a suitable RTO target, and even if we do, we may not be able to complete the transaction timely, which may negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.
We publicly announced our intent to pursue two contemporaneous strategic tracks: to enter into and consummate the Asset Purchase Agreement and to identify an RTO target and to consummate an RTO.
Expected disposition of our legacy assets and operations under the Asset Purchase Agreement will render Sonim a “shell company,” unless we either (a) initiate a new line of business that is unrelated to and does not compete with the divested business, or (b) complete an RTO prior to the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, identifying a suitable RTO target and completing the transaction in a timely manner—or otherwise ensuring the continuation of meaningful business operations—is critical to avoiding shell company status.
If Sonim becomes a shell company, we would be subject to significant regulatory and market disadvantages, including:
● | ineligibility to use Form S-3 until 12 full calendar months after filing “Form 10 information” with the SEC; |
● | holders of our common stock will not be able to sell their restricted shares due to Rule 144(i), until one year after the Form 10 information is filed with the SEC; |
● | the Company will become an “ineligible issuer for three years following the closing, which will prevent the combined company from (i) incorporating by reference in its Form S-1 filings, (ii) using a free writing prospectus, or (iii) taking advantage of well-known seasoned issuer status despite its public float; |
● | potential delisting from Nasdaq; and |
● | market perception risks, including a potential depressive effect on the trading price of our common stock due to our classification as a “former shell company.” |
In addition, our stockholders may be less inclined to approve the Asset Purchase Agreement in the absence of a concurrently announced RTO transaction. Failure to obtain stockholder approval would result in the termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement and would require us to pay the Buyer (i) reimbursement of transaction-related expenses reasonably incurred by the Buyer and its affiliates, and (ii) a termination fee of $1 million. These outcomes could materially and adversely affect our sales, financial condition, and results of operations, as well as the trading price of our common stock. They may also prevent us from realizing some or all of the expected benefits associated with completing the Asset Purchase Agreement and any related strategic transactions within the anticipated timeframe.
In the event that the proposed transactions are not consummated, the trading price of our common stock and our future business and results of operations may be negatively affected.
The conditions to the consummation of the proposed transactions — either the Asset Purchase Agreement or an RTO — may not be satisfied as noted above. If the proposed transactions are not consummated, we would remain liable for significant transaction costs and termination fees, and the focus of our management would have been diverted from seeking other potential strategic opportunities, in each case without realizing any benefits of the proposed transactions.
For these and other reasons, not consummating the proposed transactions could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Furthermore, if we do not consummate the proposed transaction, the price of our common stock may decline significantly from the current market price, and you may not recover your investment. Certain costs associated with the proposed transactions have already been incurred or may be payable even if the proposed transactions are not consummated. Finally, any disruptions to our business resulting from the announcement and pendency of the transaction, including any adverse changes in our relationships with our customers, vendors, and employees or recruiting and retention efforts, could accelerate in the event of or continue following a failed transaction.
34 |
The Asset Purchase Agreement contains a termination fee and restrictions on solicitation that limit our ability to pursue alternatives to the Asset Purchase Agreement.
Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, we are restricted from soliciting, initiating, inducing, or knowingly encouraging or knowingly facilitating alternative acquisition proposals from third parties, and/or providing non-public information to third parties relating to any inquiries, proposals or offers that would reasonably be expected to lead to certain transactions involving a third party, including a merger, business combination or similar transaction, subject to specified exceptions, including the solicitation of an RTO transaction that is not impacting the disposition of the legacy business. The Asset Purchase Agreement also contains termination provisions for both us and Buyer, including the right of the Company to terminate the Asset Purchase Agreement to accept a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, and provides that, in connection with the termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement by us to enter into an alternative acquisition agreement providing for a Superior Proposal, we will pay the Buyer (i) reimbursement of transaction-related expenses reasonably incurred by the Buyer and its affiliates, and (ii) a termination fee of $1 million. These provisions could discourage a third party that may have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of our business from considering or proposing that acquisition, even if such third party were prepared to pay consideration with a higher value than the value of the consideration in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
We may face litigation filed against us over the Asset Purchase Agreement or an RTO.
Currently, the Company is not aware of any complaints filed or litigation pending related to the Asset Purchase Agreement. However, litigation is a common occurrence in connection with transactions similar to the proposed transaction, so we face potential for litigation or other disputes that relate to the Asset Purchase Agreement or an RTO, including claims related to our process or disclosures and investigatory demands under Delaware law. We can provide no assurance that such litigation, disputes, or demands will not arise in the future. Any such litigation, disputes, or demands, whether successful or not, could delay the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement or an RTO, or could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
