 Statement and to serve as a director of the Company if so elected. We believe that the AJP/Orbic Nominees would be valuable additions to the Board and that they would bring the necessary business and industry experience, future forward thinking and urgency needed for Sonim to evaluate all opportunities to maximize stockholder value, including a sale of the Company or one or more other strategic transactions. We further believe that the AJP/Orbic Nominees’ extensive experience, qualifications and skills would add significant value to the Board and that the interests of the Company and its stockholders would be best served by the election of the AJP/Orbic Nominees to the Board. Under the leadership of the present Board, the Company has financially underperformed, incurred unnecessary expenses, failed to innovate in line with current trends, and its strategies to revitalize the Company’s business have not been effective. Further, the Special Committee of the Board has failed to act with the necessary speed and urgency for evaluating potential strategic alternatives, a delay that has further eroded stockholder value. Sonim and its stockholders are in desperate need of a new leadership team that is equipped to evolve and respond to changes in the market, act in a financial responsible manner and actively drive the Company forward and to recognize when conducting business as usual on a standalone basis is unlikely to deliver the best result for stockholders.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Proxy Statement, the AJP/Orbic Parties have no knowledge of any facts that would reasonably prevent the determination by the Board that each of the AJP/Orbic Nominees is independent under the applicable standards, including the Exchange Act, paragraph (a)(1) of Item 407 of Regulation S -K, any applicable rules of Nasdaq, the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles and the Company’s Standards for Director Independence (and including with respect to the heightened independence standards for service on the Audit Committee of the Company). In addition, each AJP/Orbic Nominee understands that, if elected as a director of Sonim,
