**Sonim Technologies Confirms Receipt of Non-Binding Unsolicited Indication of Interest**

San Diego, California – June 16, 2025 – The Special Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Special Committee") of Sonim Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SONM), formed to oversee the Company's ongoing strategic alternatives process, today confirmed receipt of an unsolicited indication of interest issued by DOOGEE on <u>June 9, 2025</u> in the form of a press release, to acquire all outstanding shares of Sonim for $3.60 per share in cash. The Special Committee issued the following statement on the matter:

At this time, the Special Committee lacks sufficient information to evaluate DOOGEE's indication of interest in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties to Sonim's stockholders. To enable a responsible and informed assessment consistent with those duties, the Special Committee needs DOOGEE to provide detailed information regarding financing arrangements, strategic rationale, and its ability to execute a transaction in the light of potential regulatory constraints. While DOOGEE's public communication encouraged the directors of Sonim to reconsider the existing exclusive letter of intent (the "LOI"), the Special Committee is prepared to begin evaluating the indication of interest once it is supported by sufficient detail to allow for evaluation in accordance with the Special Committee's fiduciary obligations to maximize stockholder value.

DOOGEE's stated willingness to wait for the expiration or termination of Sonim's exclusive LOI is neither conventional nor constructive in pursuing a bona fide transaction with a public company. The Special Committee remains focused on advancing the current LOI toward a definitive agreement and reverse takeover to maximize value for Sonim's stockholders.

"This unsolicited indication of interest underscores the market's recognition of the underlying value of Sonim and its business," said Mike Mulica, Chair of the Special Committee. "While we welcome the interest, our priority is to remain focused and disciplined in our process, evaluating any third-party outreach with the thoroughness and diligence our fiduciary duties demand."

**Forward-Looking statements**

This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements relate to, among other things, the anticipated effects of the proposed transaction and the strategy of Sonim in connection with strategic alternatives. These forward-looking statements are based on Sonim's current expectations, estimates and projections, and certain assumptions made by Sonim, all of which are subject to change. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "achieve," "aim," "ambitions," "anticipate," "believe," "committed," "continue," "could," "designed," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "future," "goals," "grow," "guidance," "intend," "likely," "may," "milestone," "objective," "on track," "opportunity," "outlook," "pending," "plan," "poised," "position," "possible," "potential," "predict," "progress," "promises," "roadmap," "seek," "should," "strive," "targets," "to be," "upcoming," "will," "would," and variations of such words and similar expressions or the negative of those terms or expressions. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to vary materially from those expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: the ability of Sonim to meet expectations regarding the timing and completion of the proposed transaction; the possibility that the LOI will not result in the definitive agreement; the possibility that the conditions to the closing of the proposed transaction are not satisfied, including the risk that the required approvals are not obtained and that Sonim's stockholders do not approve the proposed transaction; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could result in the definitive agreement (if ever executed) being terminated or the proposed transaction not being completed on the terms reflected in the definitive agreement, or at all; the risk that the LOI may be terminated in circumstances that require Sonim to pay a termination fee; potential litigation relating to the proposed transaction; the risk that the proposed transaction and its announcement could have adverse effects on the market price of Sonim's common stock; risk that the current board of directors of Sonim loses proxy contest and the new directors' slate determines to terminate the proposed transaction (whether at the state of LOI or definitive agreement); risks related to the possible failure of Sonim to achieve earn-out; the effect of the announcement of the proposed transaction on the ability of Sonim to retain key personnel and maintain relationships with customers and business partners; the risk of unexpected costs or expenses resulting from the proposed transaction and the LOI; and other risks and uncertainties, including those described under "Risk Factors" included in Sonim's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent quarterly filings on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (available at <u>www.sec.gov</u>). Sonim cautions you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Sonim assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this release, except as required by law.
