On April 13, 2022, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with AJP Holding Company, LLC (“AJP”) whereby, subject to the terms thereof, AJP agreed to purchase from the Company an aggregate of 20,833,333 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Purchased Shares”) for a purchase price of $0.84 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $17.5 million.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement, the Purchased Shares will be issued in two tranches: (i) 14,880,952 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Initial Shares”) will be issued in consideration for an aggregate purchase price of $12.5 million (“First Closing”), of which 952,381 shares may be issued to a person or entity designated by AJP and (ii) subject to the occurrence of the First Closing, on August 1, 2022 (except that if the First Closing has not occurred by August 1, 2022, the Second Closing will take place no later than the fifth business day following the First Closing Date), 5,952,381 shares of the Company’s common stock will be issued in consideration for an aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million (the “Second Closing”).

Completion of the First Closing is subject to the satisfaction of several conditions, including: (i) approval of the Subscription Agreement by the requisite vote of the Company’s stockholders; (ii) resignation of all members of the Board of Directors, other than the Continuing Directors; and (iii) certain other customary conditions.

The Subscription Agreement contains certain termination rights for each of Sonim and AJP and further provides that, upon termination of the Subscription Agreement, under specified circumstances, Sonim may be required to pay AJP a termination fee of $750 and/or reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with the Subscription Agreement of up to $350.

Upon completion of the transaction, AJP will own approximately 52% of Sonim’s post-transaction outstanding capital stock based on an estimated 19.3 million shares outstanding prior to the transaction. The agreement with AJP will also include a transition of the management team and Peter Liu, the Company’s Executive Vice President for Global Operations and Engineering, was appointed Chief Executive Officer, effective April 14, 2022. Peter Liu is part of the investment group at AJP.
