AJP Holding Company, LCC ("AJP") and Orbic North America, LLC ("Orbic"), issued the following press release and open letter to stockholders of Sonim Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company").

**AJP and Orbic Issue Open Letter to Fellow Sonim Stockholders**

Hauppauge, New York – July 9, 2025 – AJP Holding Company, LLC ("AJP") and Orbic North America, LLC ("Orbic"), an international leader in mobile technology innovation, which together have an investment representing an approximately 19% economic interest in Sonim Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SONM) ("Sonim" or the "Company"), today sent an open letter to the stockholders of Sonim.

In its letter, AJP and Orbic highlight, in the view of AJP and Orbic, the continued devastating losses suffered by Sonim and its stockholders under the management of the incumbent Board and a seriously flawed strategic evaluation process pursued by the Special Committee of the Board. **All stockholders are urged to support AJP's and Orbic's slate of highly qualified and independent nominees at the Company's upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for July 18, 2025**. Only through an immediate and dramatic transformation in leadership will Sonim and its stockholders see meaningful positive change.

The full text of the letter follows:

July 9, 2025

Dear Fellow Stockholders,

Enough is enough. The entrenched Sonim board just turned down another superior offer to acquire substantially all of the assets of Sonim—an offer that would have delivered an immediate and substantial premium to you, the true owners. Instead, they chose to protect their own positions and ignore your best interests. We are calling for immediate change. That is why we are seeking your support to reconstitute the Board 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. **WE URGE YOU TO VOTE YOUR SHARES ON THE <u>BLUE PROXY CARD</u> FOR THE <u>AJP/ORBIC NOMINEES.</u>**

● **SONIM'S SPECIAL COMMITTEE FAILED TO ENGAGE WITH ORBIC ON THE REVISED PROPOSAL:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **LACK OF ENGAGEMENT:** We believe Sonim's current board of directors, and the Special Committee
has failed to act in your best interests. Despite presenting a credible, fully committed financed offer to acquire substantially all of
the assets of Sonim at a significant premium, the Special Committee has again chosen to mischaracterize the validity of our offer without
any dialogue with us. In fact, even despite our clearly superior offer and repeated outreach to Sonim, Sonim would not engage in any discussion
regarding a potential transaction, citing that it was prevented from doing so due to exclusivity granted to Social Mobile®. Sonim
has not demonstrated that it has made any significant progress on negotiations with Social Mobile® or disclosed to stockholders the
length of the exclusivity period.  **<u>HOW LONG SHOULD YOU BE KEPT IN THE DARK?</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **THE REVISED OFFER REPRESENTS A 66.7% PREMIUM**: The revised offer represents a 66.7% premium of the
amount payable by Social Mobile® at an initial closing of that transaction (and a 25% premium if the earnout feature of the proposed
Social Mobile® transaction is achieved). Orbic is prepared to move forward expeditiously with the negotiation of an asset purchase
of substantially all of Sonim's assets. Orbic's non-binding offer is backed by a $50 million financing commitment from a third-party
lender. Sonim's Special Committee continues to claim that it is committed to maximizing stockholder value; however, they have failed
to provide stockholders with the details of how they will achieve the value.

● **SONIM HAS YET TO SIGN AGREEMENTS WITH SOCIAL MOBILE® OR ITS UNNAMED ACQUIRER FOR THE SALE OF ITS PUBLIC COMPANY SHELL:** 

**WHERE ARE THE DETAILS?**: The Sonim board of directors signed a letter of intent with Social Mobile® over a month ago, however, there has yet to be an agreement signed. **<u>WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG?</u>** Further, Sonim has still not provided you with any specific details on how the proposed non-binding letter of intent for an asset sale to Social Mobile® or non-binding letter of intent for a proposed sale of Sonim's public company shell will translate into stockholder value. Sonim's recent announcements continue to fail to provide sufficiently quantifiable metrics, verifiable data and financial analysis demonstrating how the proposed transactions will deliver tangible benefits. **<u>WHAT IS SONIM HIDING?</u>**

● **SONIM'S PRECIPITOUS STOCK PRICE DECLINE HAS DEVASTATED STOCKHOLDER VALUE**:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **SONIM'S STOCK PRICE DECLINED BY APPROXIMATELY 74.94%**: Sonim's stock price has continued
to decline approximately 74.94% over the three-month period ending on July 3, 2025, sadly as shown in the chart below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **SONIM'S SHARES SINK AFTER ANOTHER PUBLIC OFFERING**: Following
the announcement of our revised offer, Sonim's board of directors undertook another dilutive stock offering, which has further devastated
stockholder value and eroded the value of your investment. Sonim offered an additional 7.4 million shares at $0.75 a share, a steep
discount to the market price on July 1, 2025, resulting in its stock price plunging by approximately 38%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o **STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD BE FURIOUS**: The Sonim board of directors disastrous track record of operating
performance and ill-advised financing strategies have continued to destroy stockholder value, all with little to no communication to stockholders.  **<u>WHY SHOULD STOCKHOLDER'S TRUST SONIM'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS?</u>** 

● **YOU DESERVE BETTER**: You deserve better than this. Our slate of nominees will provide Sonim with better leadership to unlock stockholder value.

**WE URGE YOU TO VOTE YOUR SHARES ON THE <u>BLUE PROXY CARD</u> FOR THE <u>AJP/ORBIC NOMINEES.</u>**

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. We believe that a transformation in leadership is crucial for Sonim's future success and stockholder value.

AJP and Orbic strongly contend that it is time for an immediate and dramatic change. Sonim stockholders deserve strong, capable and open-minded directors, such as the AJP/Orbic nominees, who have the experience and desire to explore every opportunity to unlock stockholder value and return Sonim to profitability.

**We need your help to unseat Sonim's incumbent board of directors by electing the AJP/Orbic nominees. A lot rides on your vote and every vote matters! VOTE YOUR SHARES ON THE BLUE PROXY CARD IN FAVOR OF THE AJP/ORBIC NOMINEES.**

Respectfully,

Parveen (Mike) Narula,

on behalf of AJP Holding Company, LLC

-and-

Orbic North America, LLC
