Effective February 9, 2026, Mike Mulica, executive chairman of DNA X, Inc. (formerly, Sonim Technologies, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Company</u>"), was appointed as the Company's acting chief executive officer and, accordingly, was designated as the Company's principal executive officer.

Mr. Mulica, 62, has held various roles at the Company since April 2021, most recently as its executive chairman as of October 16, 2025. Biographical information for Mr. Mulica can be found on page 13 of the Company's definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on [June 18, 2025](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1178697/000164117225015578/formdefc14a.htm), and is incorporated herein by reference.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Mulica and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed. Mr. Mulica does not have any family relationship with any director or other executive officer of the Company or any person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer, and there are no transactions in which Mr. Mulica has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

*CEO Employment Agreement*

In connection with his appointment as acting chief executive officer, the Company, following the approval of the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors, (i) increased Mr. Mulica's annual base salary to $450,000, effective January 30, 2026; (ii) granted 50,000 restricted stock units ("<u>RSU</u>s") vesting in equal monthly installments over a one-year period, subject to continued service; and (iii) agreed that, following a termination of employment, if Mr. Mulica is eligible for and timely elects continuation coverage under COBRA, the Company will reimburse COBRA premiums for up to twelve (12) months, subject to customary early-termination conditions (including eligibility for substantially similar coverage from another source), as set forth in the first amendment to Mr. Mulica's employment agreement (the "<u>CEO Amendment</u>").

On February 9, 2026, the Company and Clay Crolius, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, entered into a second amendment to Mr. Crolius's employment agreement, dated December 8, 2023 (the "<u>CFO Amendment</u>"). The CFO Amendment, among other things, provides: (i) that the completion of the Company's previously announced asset sale on January 23, 2026 constitutes a triggering event under Mr. Crolius's employment agreement; (ii) for a grant of 35,000 RSUs, vesting in equal monthly installments over a one-year period, subject to continued service; and (iii) that, following a termination of employment, if Mr. Crolius is eligible for and timely elects continuation coverage under COBRA, the Company will reimburse COBRA premiums for up to six (6) months, subject to customary early-termination conditions (including eligibility for substantially similar coverage from another source).
