(In Thousands, except Share and Per Share Amounts)
NOTE 1 —The Company and Its Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Sonim Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 5, 1999, and is headquartered in San Diego, California. The Company offers a robust portfolio that includes rugged handsets, smartphones, wireless internet devices, software, services, and accessories. These products are engineered to deliver reliable communication in challenging and unpredictable environments, serving sectors such as critical communications, first responders, government, industrial, construction, hospitality, and logistics. The Company distributes its products primarily through major wireless carriers. The Company currently has products available at all three U.S. Tier-one carriers – AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon as well as the three primary carriers in Canada – Bell, Telus and Rogers, Telstra in Australia, and multiple carriers throughout Europe. These carriers resell the Company’s products, along with network services, to end customers focusing on two primary end markets: industrial enterprise and the public sector.
The Company is executing a strategic expansion initiative, focusing on broadening its market reach with new products, geographical footprint, and customer segments including enterprise, small and medium business, and prosumers. This strategy is underpinned by a strong emphasis on execution. The Company has introduced new product categories: Connected Solutions featuring wireless internet products, a next-generation rugged smartphone, and a new range of mid and low-tier professional rugged phones, all boasting IP ratings, MIL-STD-810H standards, and elements of Sonim’s Rugged Performance Standards (“RPS”), highlighting the Company’s value proposition to target markets.
During the second half of 2024 and through the filing date of this report, the Company launched the following products:
| ● | Sonim H500-series of 5G mobile hotspots available through Verizon, UScellular, and Bell in North America; |
| ● | Sonim H700, the world’s first 5G Release 17 and Wi-Fi 7 rugged mobile hotspot, available through Telstra in Australia; |
| ● | Sonim H100 4G mobile hotspot available through Telia Finland and distribution partners in Europe; |
| ● | XP100 4G and XP400 5G professional rugged phones available through Deutsche Telekom in Germany and distribution partners in Europe and South Africa; |
| ● | XP Pro 5G rugged smartphone available through Verizon in the United States; and |
| ● | XP3plus 5G rugged flip phone available through T-Mobile and certified for T-Priority. |
Additionally, the XP10 is now available through the Company’s distribution partners in EMEA and Australia. Most of these products are supported by the SonimWare platform and enterprise services. In the first quarter of 2025, the XP Pro 5G and H500 5G each received Verizon Frontline certification. In the first quarter of 2025 we also announced the upcoming launch and availability of the XP Pro Thermal 5G smartphone for Europe which includes an SDK-enabled Sonim IRIS software for custom application development and an integrated thermal camera by FLIR® that benefits a number of vertical trades such as electricians, plumbers, public safety, construction, agriculture, amongst others.
A significant revenue driver in the first quarter of 2024 was a range of low-priced products developed under Sonim’s original design manufacturer (“ODM”) model, emphasizing high-volume and low-margin production tailored to a specific customer’s needs. These sales concluded in the first quarter of 2024 due to its life cycle end. The ODM model does not represent the Company’s core business strategy.
Reverse Stock Split
On July 17, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis on July 18, 2024. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each share of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to July 17, 2024, was automatically converted into one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split affected all common stockholders uniformly and did not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share instead were entitled to receive one whole share in lieu of such fractional share.
The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of the common stock or the authorized number of shares of common stock. All outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants entitling their holders to purchase or obtain or convert into shares of our common stock were adjusted, as required by the terms of these securities.
The Company’s stockholders’ equity, in the aggregate, remained unchanged following the Reverse Stock Split. Net income (loss) per share increased because there were fewer shares of common stock outstanding. There were no other accounting consequences, including changes to the amount of stock-based compensation expense to be recognized in any period, that arose as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
All common share and per-share amounts in this Form 10-Q have been retroactively restated to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.
Liquidity and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements account for the continuation of its business as a going concern. The Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the development and release of new products. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2025, consist of existing cash and cash equivalents of $2,115. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Company received net proceeds of $4,497 from the sale of shares through the Company’s At-The-Market (“ATM”) stock sales program. The Company believes that it can meet its obligations over the next twelve months following the filing date of this report with cash at March 31, 2025 and with the cash that was raised through the ATM subsequent to March 31, 2025.
Basis of presentation and preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sonim Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Sonim” or the “Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
As discussed above, all per share amounts and common shares amounts have been adjusted on a retroactive basis to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split. Proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable under all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants. In addition, proportionate adjustments have been made to the number of shares of common stock reserved for the Company’s equity incentive awards.
Promissory Notes
The Company accounts for promissory notes in accordance with ASC 470,Debt. Promissory notes are initially recorded at the amount of cash proceeds received, net of any original issue discount and direct issuance costs. Debt discounts and issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the note using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Interest is accrued based on the stated interest rate.
Prior period reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Related Party Transactions
Effective December 15, 2023, in the ordinary course of business, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Company would execute various statements of work and sell white label phones under the ODM model arrangement with a related party, in which a family member of our director, Jeffrey Wang, holds indirect interest of approximately 40% (the “ODM Arrangement”). Pursuant to the ODM Arrangement, the Company consummated various transactions during the first quarter of 2024.

NOTE 2 —Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the sale of products, including mobile phones, connected devices, and accessories, and the majority of the Company’s contracts include only one performance obligation, namely the delivery of product. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is defined as the unit of account for revenue recognition under ASC 606. The Company also recognizes revenue from other contracts that may include a combination of products and NRE services or from the provision of solely NRE services. Where there is a combination of products and NRE services, the Company accounts for the promises as individual performance obligations if they are concluded as distinct. Performance obligations are considered distinct if they are both capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. In determining whether performance obligations meet the criteria for being distinct, the Company considers a number of factors, such as the degree of interrelation and interdependence between obligations, and whether or not the good or service significantly modifies or transforms another good or service in the contract. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company did not have any contracts in which the products and NRE services were concluded to be a single performance obligation. In certain cases, the Company may offer tiered pricing based on volumes purchased for specific model phones. To date, all tiered pricing provisions have fallen into observable ranges of pricing to existing customers, thus, not resulting in any material right which could be concluded as its own performance obligation. In addition, the Company does not offer material post-contract support services to its customers.
Net revenue for an individual contract is recognized at the related transaction price, which is the amount the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the goods and/or services. The transaction price for product sales is calculated as the product selling price net of variable consideration which may include estimates for marketing development funds, sales incentives, and price protection and stock rotation rights. The Company generally does not offer a right of return to its customers, except for certain distributors where the company estimates future returns and reduces revenue on sales subject to return and maintains a reserve for returns allowance. Typically, variable consideration does not need to be constrained as estimates are based on specific contract terms. However, the Company continues to assess variable consideration estimates such that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. The transaction price for a contract with multiple performance obligations is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices for products are determined based on the prices charged to customers, which are directly observable. The standalone selling price of the professional services are mostly based on time and materials. The Company determines its estimates of variable consideration based on historical collection experience with similar payor classes, aged accounts receivable by payor class, terms of payment agreements, correspondence from payors related to revenue audits or reviews, its historical settlement activity of audited and reviewed claims and current economic conditions using the portfolio approach. Revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the cumulative amount recognized will not occur in future periods.
Revenue is then recognized for each distinct performance obligation as control is transferred to the customer. Revenue attributable to hardware is recognized at the time control of the product transfers to the customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company has a present right to payment and title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products or services are transferred to its customers. For most of the Company’s revenue attributable to hardware, control transfers when products are shipped. Revenue attributable to professional services is recognized as the Company performs the professional services for the customer.
The Company maintains agreements with certain customers that include provisions for product allowances under specific conditions. Accruals for these agreements are based on available customer-specific data or, when such data is not available, relevant historical trends. These costs are recognized as a reduction to revenue. Based on the terms of these agreements, any unused accruals are released and recognized as revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company finalized agreements which resulted in the reduction of accruals by approximately $5,271, which was recognized as revenue.
Disaggregation of revenue

| White Label Products (ODM Model) (Related Party) | — | 7,658 |
| Accessories and Other | 190 | 188 |
| Total net revenues | $16,721 | $16,776 |
Shipping and handling costs
The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated products.
Contract costs
Applying the practical expedient, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred when the amortization period of the assets that otherwise would have been recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in sales and marketing expenses.
The non-recurring costs associated with design and development of new products for technical approval represent costs to fulfill a contract pursuant to ASC 340-40,Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Accordingly, the Company capitalizes these contract fulfillment costs and amortizes such costs over the estimated period of time they are expected to be recovered, which is typically three to four years, the estimated life of a particular product model. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the net contract fulfillment assets were $8,014 and $6,399, respectively.

The Company has non-trade receivables from manufacturing vendors resulting from the sale of components to the vendors who manufacture and assemble final products for the Company.
The Company determines the probability of default for each pool of receivables with similar risk characteristics. The probability of loss is applied to the value of the receivables and an allowance for potential credit losses is recorded with the offset to credit loss expense.
One customer accounts for 23% and 33%, respectively, of accounts receivable, net, at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024. Four additional customers account for 17%,14%,12%, and 11% of accounts receivable, net, at March 31, 2025.

Receivables Financing Agreement
On September 23, 2024, the Company entered into an invoice purchase agreement (the “Receivables Financing Agreement”) with LS DE LLC (“LS”), pursuant to which LS will provide receivables factoring to the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Financing Agreement, LS will advance 80% of the face value of the receivables being sold by the Company, up to a maximum of $2,500 of eligible customer invoices from the Company. In consideration of the advances, LS is entitled to receive(i) an invoice purchase fee equal to 0.20% of the face amount of each purchased invoice payable at the time of the purchase and (ii) a daily funds usage fee equal to 0.0388%, payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each month. Under the agreement, the Company must repurchase any invoices that LS deems to be uncollectible or no longer qualify as an Eligible Account, as defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement. The Company is accounting for this transaction as a secured borrowing and recognizes a factoring liability for any advances until the accounts receivables are collected. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, there was $642 and $591, respectively, outstanding under the Receivables Financing Agreement, which is included in Accrued Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Receivables Financing Agreement has an initial term of twelve months, subject to automatic annual extension unless terminated. Additionally, under certain circumstances and unless waived by LS, the Company will be obligated to pay a missing notation fee of 15% in the event of its failure to affix a certain legend regarding assignment or a misdirected payment fee in the amount of 15%. In the event of the Company’s default, the Company’s payment obligations will be accelerated, and, in addition to the aforementioned fees payable to LS, the Company will be required to pay the default interest rate of the lesser of 24% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law until the default is cured or until all Company’s obligations are paid in full.
The Company’s obligations under the Receivables Financing Agreement are secured by a lien on all of the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory, and related property, excluding accounts receivable from certain specified counterparties.
The Receivables Financing Agreement contains representations and warranties by the Company and LS, certain indemnification provisions in favor of LS and customary covenants (including limitations on other debt, liens, acquisitions, investments and dividends), and events of default (including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, a material impairment in LS’s security interest or in the collateral, and events relating to bankruptcy or insolvency). The Receivables Financing Agreement can be terminated by either party upon written notice or by LS upon the occurrence of certain events including the Company’s default.
NOTE 4 —Promissory Note
On February 21, 2025, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Lender a promissory note in the original principal amount of $3,300 (the “Note”).
The Purchase Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, until all of the Company’s obligations under the Note and all other transaction documents are paid and performed in full, the Company agreed to comply with certain covenants, including but not limited to the following: (i) compliance with its filing requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) maintaining the Company’s listing on a national securities exchange, and (iii) refraining from making any Restricted Issuances (as defined in the Purchase Agreement and described below) without the Lender’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in the Lender’s sole discretion.
Subject to certain customary exceptions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Restricted Issuances include the incurrence or guaranty of any debt obligations other than trade payables in the ordinary course of business, the issuance of any convertible securities in which the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to a conversion right, or the conversion price, varies with the market price of the Company’s common stock, the issuance of any securities with reset provisions and the issuance of any securities in connection with Section 3(a)(9) exchange, a Section 3(a)(10) settlement, or any other similar settlement or exchange. Restricted Issuances do not include ATM facilities, commercial bank loans or lines of credit, leases, grants pursuant to the Company’s incentive plans, and change-in-control transactions that result in full repayment of the Note upon consummation.
The Purchase Agreement also contains a “most favored nation” clause. Under this provision, for as long as the Note remains outstanding, if the Company issues any debt security with more favorable economic terms or conditions not similarly provided to the Lender, the Company must notify the Lender. At the Lender’s option, such favorable terms will become part of the Note and related transaction documents.
The Note
The Note carries an original issue discount of $270, and the Company agreed to pay $30 to the Lender to cover its legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring, and other transaction costs, each of which was deducted from the proceeds of the Note received by the Company resulting in a purchase price of $3,000 received by the Company. The Company incurred additional issuance costs of approximately $210, which consisted of legal costs and placement fees.
If the Note remains outstanding on the 90-day anniversary of the issuance, the Company will incur a one-time monitoring fee equal to the difference between (i) the outstanding balance of the Note divided by 0.85 (as minuend), and (ii) the outstanding balance of the Note (as subtrahend).
Interest under the Note accrues at a rate of 9% per annum. The unpaid amount of the Note, any interest, fees, charges, and late fees are due 18 months following the date of issuance. The Company may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the Note. If the Company elects to prepay the Note in part, it will be required to pay to the Lender an amount in cash equal to 110% of the portion of the outstanding balance the Company elects to prepay.
Commencing six months after the date of issuance of the Note and at any time thereafter until the Note is paid in full, the Lender will have the right to redeem up to $330 under the Note per calendar month. The Company must pay the redeemed amount in cash within three trading days of receiving a redemption notice. On three separate occasions and not more than once every 90 calendar days, the Company may defer any redemptions the Lender could otherwise make during a calendar month, provided, however, that each deferral increases the outstanding balance of the Note by 1%.
At any time following the occurrence of a Major Trigger Event or Minor Trigger Event (each as defined in the Note), the Lender may increase the outstanding balance of the Note by 15% for each occurrence of any Major Trigger Event and 5% for each occurrence of any Minor Trigger Event (the “Trigger Effect”), provided that the Trigger Effect may only be applied three times with respect to Major Trigger Events and three times with respect to Minor Trigger Events.
Subject to certain exceptions described below, if the Company fails to cure a Trigger Event within five trading days following the date of transmission of written demand notice by the Lender, the Trigger Event will automatically become an Event of Default (as defined in the Note). Following the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may, upon written notice to the Company, (i) accelerate the Note, with the outstanding balance of the Note following application of the Trigger Effect (the “Mandatory Default Amount”) becoming immediately due and payable in cash, and (ii) cause interest on the outstanding balance of the Note beginning on the date the applicable Event of Default occurred to accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. However, certain Trigger Events, such as bankruptcy or insolvency, automatically result in an Event of Default, making the outstanding balance immediately payable at the Mandatory Default Amount without notice.
The following table presents the components of the net carrying amount of the Note as of March 31, 2025:
| Principal | $3,300 |
|---|---|
| Less: unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs | (469) |
| Long term debt | $2,831 |
| Current portion | $2,265 |
| Long-term portion | $566 |
The effective interest rate on the Note was 24.5% for the period from the date of issuance through March 31, 2025. The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized related to the Note:
| Contractual interest expense | $30 |
|---|---|
| Amortization of debt discount | 19 |
| Amortization of debt issuance costs | 22 |
| Interest expense | $71 |
NOTE 5 —Stockholders’ Equity
Equity Financing
On April 29, 2024, the Company closed on a capital investment of 350,000 shares of common stock and warrants, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, with a single investor for an aggregate purchase price of $3,850. In connection with the closing, the Company incurred approximately $66 in issuance costs, which was offset against the proceeds.
Each warrant has an exercise price of $11.00 per share, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split, is immediately exercisable, will expire in five years from the date of issuance, and is subject to customary adjustments for certain transactions affecting the Company’s capitalization. The warrants may not be exercised if the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the investor subsequent to the exercise exceeds the specified beneficial ownership limitation provided therein (which is currently 9.99% and may be adjusted upon advance notice).
ATM Offering
On August 6, 2024, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”). Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company may sell, at its option, shares of common stock through Roth, as sales agent. Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock made pursuant to the Sales Agreement are being made under the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on April 9, 2024 (File No. 333-278577) (the “Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the SEC on May 3, 2024. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Roth may sell the shares, if any, only by methods deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act. Roth will be entitled to compensation at a commission rate of 3% of the gross sales price per share sold through it under the Sales Agreement. The Company agreed to provide Roth with customary indemnification and contribution rights, including for liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, the Company is required to reimburse Roth for certain specified expenses in connection with entering into the Sales Agreement.
The Company has no obligation to sell shares under the Sales Agreement, but it may do so from time to time. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, a total of 1,349,840 shares of common stock were sold under the Sales Agreement for net proceeds of $3,731 after payment of commission fees and other related expenses of $119.

Approximately $806 of this unamortized stock-based compensation cost was included in accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and this liability will be released as the related stock-based compensation is recognized.
Additional RSU grants for shares of the Company’s common stock were issued after March 31, 2025, as well as accelerated vesting for all outstanding RSUs. See Note 11, Subsequent Events.
NOTE 7 —Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded provisions for income taxes of $132 and $125 respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate is 22.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to negative 4.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 differs from the tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to the Company reporting consolidated pretax book income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and a consolidated pretax book loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024, for which the Company could not report a tax benefit due to the Company’s full valuation allowance in the U.S.
The Company’s material income tax jurisdictions are the United States (federal and California), China and India. As a result of net operating loss and credit carryforwards, the Company is subject to audit for tax years 2017 and forward for federal and 2015 and forward for California purposes. The China and India tax years are open under the statute of limitations from 2014 and 2020, respectively, and forward.
The Company is subject to ongoing tax examinations of its tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities in various jurisdictions. In accordance with the guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. These assessments can require considerable estimates and judgments. As of March 31, 2025, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $1,506. If the Company’s estimates of income tax liabilities prove to be less than the ultimate assessment, then a further charge to expense would be required. If events occur and the payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period in which we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. The Company does not anticipate any material changes to its uncertain tax positions during the next twelve months.
NOTE 8 —Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Commitments— The aggregate amount of noncancelable purchase orders as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was approximately $17,057 and $15,753, respectively, and were related to the purchase of inventory and components for the Company’s devices, and certification services.
Royalty payments— The Company is required to pay per unit royalties to wireless essential patent holders and other providers of integrated technologies on mobile devices delivered, which, in aggregate, amount to less than 5% of net revenues associated with each unit and expire between 2025 and 2033. Royalty expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 was $233 and $230, respectively. Royalty expense is included in Cost of Revenues. The Company may be required to pay additional royalties to additional patent holders and technology providers on future products.
General litigation— The Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these other matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
AJP and Orbic Litigation
On April 24, 2025, AJP Holding Company, LLC (“AJP”) on behalf of itself and Orbic North America, LLC (“Orbic”), filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company and directors Mike Mulica, James Cassano, Peter Liu, and Jack Steenstra (the “Complaint”). The Complaint alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties and seeks, among other relief, a declaration to that effect and an injunction prohibiting enforcement of certain provisions of the Company’s amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”) in connection with the purported notice of nomination (the “Notice”) of proposing a competing slate of directors for election at the Company’s 2025 annual meeting, as more fully described in the Complaint.
The Notice was submitted on the evening of Thursday, March 20, 2025—fewer than two business days before the nomination deadline of Saturday, March 22, 2025—and was determined to be deficient for failing to include all information required under the Bylaws.
AJP beneficially owns approximately 21.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Its sole manager, Jeffrey Wang, is a director of the Company. Orbic, which is a competitor of the Company and an affiliate of Reliance Communications, LLC (“Reliance”), exercises full voting control over AJP’s shares pursuant to an irrevocable proxy agreement. The Company and Reliance are currently involved in litigation in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Case No. 24-CV-4433), in which each party has asserted claims against the other arising out of allegations by Reliance regarding purported intellectual property violations by the Company, which the Company disputes. On March 18, 2025, Orbic, AJP, and certain affiliates filed a Schedule 13D announcing the formation of a group under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Orbic and AJP also filed a motion for expedited proceedings with their complaint. The Delaware Court of Chancery granted the motion for expedited proceedings on May 2, 2025.
The results of any future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and, regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management time and resources and other factors.
Indemnification— Under the terms of its agreements with wireless carriers and other partners, the Company has agreed to provide indemnification for intellectual property infringement claims related to the Company’s products sold by them to their end customers. From time to time, the Company receives notices from these wireless carriers and other partners of a claim for infringement of intellectual property rights potentially related to their products. These infringement claims have been settled, dismissed, have not been further pursued by the customers, or are pending further action by the Company.
NOTE 9—Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Shareholder Rights Plan
On April 21, 2025, the Board declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (“Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company, and adopted a stockholder rights plan, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, dated as of April 21, 2025 (the “Rights Agreement”), by and between the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, a New York limited liability company, as rights agent. The dividend is payable to stockholders of record of the Company as of the close of business on May 2, 2025.
Each Right will allow its holder to purchase from the Company oneone-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”), par value $0.001 per share, for $4.00 (the “Purchase Price”), once the Rights become exercisable. The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Preferred Shares or other securities or other property issuable upon exercise of the Rights will be subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the Preferred Shares. The Rights are exercisable only if a person or group acquires 15.5% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock (an amount of “less than 20%” in the case of a passive institutional investor as described in the Rights Plan), commences tender or exchange offer, or a similar event, as described in detail in the Purchase Agreement.
Additional information regarding the Rights Agreement is contained in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. To date, the adoption of the shareholder rights plan described above had no impact on the financial position of the Company.
