Item 8.01 Other Events.

Reverse Stock Split

As disclosed in the Current Report of Sonim Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "Sonim") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on June 21, 2024, at the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company held on June 20, 2024 (the "Annual Meeting"), the Company's stockholders, upon the recommendation of the Company's board of directors (the "Board"), approved an amendment to the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation") to effect a reverse split stock of the Company's outstanding common stock ("Common Stock") at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not greater than 1-for-15, with the exact ratio to be set within that range at the discretion of the Board and with such action to be effected at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board prior to the one-year anniversary of the Annual Meeting without further approval or authorization of the Company's stockholders.

On July 16, 2024, the Company announced that the Board approved a reverse stock split of its Common Stock at a final ratio of 1-for-10 (one-for-ten) (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The Reverse Stock Split is expected to become effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 17, 2024, following the filing of a certificate of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Common Stock is expected to commence trading on a split-adjusted basis when the markets open on July 18, 2024, under the existing trading symbol "SONM." The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 83548F 309. The primary goal of the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the per share market price of the Common Stock to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

No fractional shares will be issued if, as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, a stockholder would otherwise become entitled to a fractional share because the number of shares of Common Stock they hold before the Reverse Stock Split is not evenly divisible by the Reverse Stock Split ratio. If as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, a stockholder of record would otherwise hold a fractional share, one full share of Common Stock will be issued in lieu of the issuance of any such fractional shares.

Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, formerly American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, is acting as the exchange agent and transfer agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders holding their shares electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. To its best knowledge, the Company does not have any outstanding certificated shares. Stockholders owning shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee will have their positions adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split in accordance with their respective bank's, broker's, or nominee's particular processes.
