AJP and Orbic Issue Open Letter to Fellow Sonim Stockholders
Newsfile· 2025-06-26 19:30
Core Viewpoint - AJP Holding Company and Orbic North America, holding approximately 19% of Sonim Technologies, are urging fellow stockholders to support their nominees for the board in light of Sonim's poor financial performance and management practices [1][2][3]. Financial Performance - Sonim reported a net loss of $33.65 million in 2024, equating to a loss of $7.13 per share, and has experienced a stock price decline of 87% in 2024, culminating in a total stock value loss of 98% over the past five years [6][15][16]. - The company has accumulated losses totaling $86.45 million from 2021 to 2024, indicating a pattern of poor financial management [6][15]. Management and Governance Issues - The current board and management have been accused of poor stewardship, engaging in entrenchment efforts, and failing to provide a strategic evaluation process that benefits stockholders [2][6][19]. - Sonim's board has implemented anti-takeover measures, including a poison pill strategy and dilutive stock offerings, which have negatively impacted stockholder value [6][7][19]. Proposed Changes - AJP and Orbic are nominating five independent candidates for the board, emphasizing the need for new leadership with industry expertise to conduct a strategic assessment of Sonim [3][11]. - The nominees are expected to advocate for a strategic review process and engage with Orbic regarding acquisition proposals, which could potentially unlock stockholder value [11][12]. Acquisition Proposals - Orbic has made a cash offer of $25 million to acquire substantially all of Sonim's assets, representing a 66.7% premium over another proposed transaction with Social Mobile [10][12]. - The proposed transaction with Social Mobile is viewed as unlikely to provide meaningful returns to stockholders, with estimates suggesting a per-share value of approximately $1.46, which could decrease further when accounting for transaction costs and existing debt [10][20]. Stockholder Engagement - AJP and Orbic are calling on stockholders to vote for their nominees to ensure a transformation in leadership that prioritizes stockholder interests and addresses the company's financial challenges [8][21][22].
