Ukraine proposes $100 bln US weapons deal for security guarantees - FT
NEW YORK - Orbic North America, LLC has proposed to acquire substantially all assets of Sonim Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SONM) for $25 million in cash, according to a press release issued Thursday. The offer comes as Sonim faces significant challenges, with InvestingPro data showing the company’s stock has fallen nearly 88% over the past year and currently trades at $1.61, significantly below its 52-week high of $10.70.
The proposal, which equates to $2.418 per share, was communicated in a revised acquisition letter sent to Sonim. Orbic’s offer is supported by a $50 million financing commitment from a third-party lender. According to InvestingPro analysis, Sonim’s current market capitalization stands at just $15.66 million, with the company showing concerning financial health indicators, including negative EBITDA of -$26.39 million in the last twelve months.
Orbic, a New York-based technology company that develops mobile solutions, stated it is prepared to complete confirmatory due diligence and negotiate a definitive asset purchase agreement. The company noted its proposal would not prevent Sonim from simultaneously pursuing the Reverse Take-Over transaction announced in Sonim’s June 25 press release.
The offer is backed by Orbic and AJP Holding Company, LLC, which together beneficially own approximately 19% of Sonim’s outstanding common stock.
This proposal comes amid ongoing proxy solicitation activity. The AJP/Orbic Parties filed a definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 24 in connection with Sonim’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, where they have nominated five director candidates.
The complete acquisition proposal and financing commitment letter are available on the SEC’s website as part of a Schedule 13D/A filing by Orbic.
