A LETTER TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF SONIM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
July 15, 2025
Dear Fellow Stockholders,
Leading independent proxy advisory firm Glass Lewis & Co. has recommended that stockholders of Sonim support immediate and meaningful boardroom change by voting “FOR” the election of three director candidates (Joseph M. Glynn, Surendra Singh and Michael Wallace) proposed by AJP and Orbic on the BLUE proxy card. Glass Lewis is a highly respected corporate governance, research and proxy voting advisory firm that regularly analyzes and publishes recommendations on stockholder voting.
Glass Lewis’ report highlights the compelling position that AJP and Orbic have made through this campaign for change at Somin – that the current Board must be held accountable for its track record of prolonged value destruction, poor capital management, misaligned compensation practices and entrenchment activities. Glass Lewis also noted the lack of transparency displayed by Sonim throughout its strategic evaluation process and highlighted that stockholders should be cautious when evaluating the true merits of Sonim’s proposed asset sale to Social Mobile and contemplated reverse merger transaction. Further, Glass Lewis noted the demonstratable strengths of the three recommended AJP/Orbic nominees, including Messrs. Glynn and Wallace’s deep industry expertise and Mr. Singh’s knowledge and experience in software, artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure. AJP and Orbic believe now more than ever that decisive, immediate change is necessary at Sonim and that the best way to achieve this is by supporting all five of AJP/Orbic’s highly qualified nominees.
The outcome of the 2025 Annual Meeting will determine whether stockholders will continue to be subject to an underperforming, entrenched and self-interested board of directors and management team or will have a new group of professional leaders that will breathe life into Sonim. AJP and Orbic are seeking your support to reconstitute the Board of Sonim with independent, experienced directors who will prioritize stockholder value over self-preservation. This is your chance to take back control and install a Board that works FOR YOU, NOT AGAINST YOU!”
AJP and Orbic need your help to unseat Sonim’s incumbent board of directors by electing the AJP/ORBIC NOMINEES. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY VOTED THE WHITE CARD, IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE! VOTE YOUR SHARES ON THE BLUE PROXY CARD IN FAVOR OF THE AJP/ORBIC NOMINEES.
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT NO MATTER HOW FEW SHARES OF SONIM STOCK YOU OWN. THE AJP/ORBIC PARTIES URGE YOU TO SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE BLUE UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD OR BLUE VOTING INSTRUCTION FORM TODAY TO VOTE “FOR” EACH OF DOUGLAS B. BENEDICT, JOSEPH M. GLYNN, GREGORY M. JOHNSON, SURENDRA SINGH AND MICHAEL WALLACE TO BE ELECTED TO THE SONIM BOARD OF DIRECTORS, “WITHHOLD” ON THE ELECTION OF THE OPPOSED SONIM NOMINEES AND “AGAINST” THE COMPANY’S EQUITY INCENTVE PLAN PROPOSAL AND “AGAINST” THE ADVISORY APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROPOSAL.
If you have any questions or need any assistance in voting your shares on the BLUE card, please contact our proxy solicitor, Alliance Advisors.
