Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 25, 2025, Sonim Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing developments in its strategic alternatives process. A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

As stated in the Press Release, the Company has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a privately held company (the “Target”) regarding a potential business combination. The Target operates in the sector of high-performance computing and data processing infrastructure for artificial intelligence.

Any definitive agreement with the Target would be subject to customary conditions, including approval by the boards of directors and stockholders of both the Company and the Target, as well as the satisfaction of other closing conditions.

The Company’s current strategy is to pursue definitive agreements for both (i) a business combination with the Target and (ii) the sale of substantially all of the Company’s operating assets, as previously disclosed. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully negotiate and enter into either definitive agreement, that any such agreements will reflect the terms of the respective letters of intent, or that either transaction will be consummated.

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, the growth of the AI market, the anticipated terms of the proposed transaction, and potential benefits of the proposed transaction to Sonim’s stockholders. 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, the Sonim Legacy Business Sale does not close, and that Sonim’s stockholders do not approve the proposed transaction; the challenges of maintaining Nasdaq listing and the potential necessity to implement a reverse stock-split in order to remain listed on Nasdaq; 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; 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; the risk that the current board of directors of Sonim loses the proxy contest and the new directors’ slate determines to terminate the proposed transaction (whether at the state of LOI or definitive agreement); 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 www.sec.gov).
