. Orbic has delivered to the Board a non -bindingProposal to acquire all of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company that such parties do not already own. Although the AJP/Orbic Nominees have not made any commitment to the AJP/Orbic Parties to do so, the AJP/Orbic Parties believe that the AJP/Orbic Nominees, if elected, will be more active than the current members of the Board in conducting a strategic review process for Sonim and to substantively engage with Orbic in respect of the Proposal and/or with third parties in respect of one or more other strategic transaction proposals that they may make to the Company from time to time. While Sonim and the AJP/Orbic Parties have engaged in some preliminary discussions regarding the Proposal, the actions of the Special Committee to date have demonstrated that the Board of Directors is more interested in entrenching themselves and current management than maximizing stockholder value. In particular, Sonim’s purported denial of the AJP/Orbic Parties nominations highlights the current Board of Director’s determination to remain in office and an attempt to disenfranchise stockholders from the opportunity to make a meaningful choice regarding the go -forwardleadership of the Company. In addition, the Board of Directors’ approval of vastly expanded change of control severance benefits to the current Chief Executive Officer, Hao (Peter) Liu, and Chief Financial Officer, Clay Crolius, along with the acceleration of prior RSU grants to 81 participants, demonstrates the Board of Directors and Special Committee are not interested in fulfilling their fiduciary duties to stockholders. Stockholders deserve to have a Board comprised of independent, future -forwardthinking and capable directors, such as the AJP/Orbic Nominees, that have the industry experience to explore every opportunity to unlock stockholder value. 7

Who are the AJP / Orbic Nominees? We are proposing that each of Douglas B Benedict, Joseph M. Glynn, Gregory M. Johnson, Surendra Singh and Michael Wallace be elected to the Board to serve for a one -yearterm expiring at the next annual meeting of Sonim’s stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. Set forth below is: (a) the name, age, any position and office with Sonim held by each such AJP/Orbic Nominee, and the term thereof, business experience during the past five years (including principal occupation and employment during the past five years, the name
