Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There are no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, except as set forth below.
The risk factor titled Sales of our common stock under the currently effective registration statement or the perception of such sales in the public market or otherwise could cause the market price for our common stock to decline, even if our business is doing well is amended and restated as follows:
Sales of our common stock under resale registration statements or the perception of such sales in the public market or otherwise could cause the market price for our common stock to decline, even if our business is doing well.
Resales of our common stock may cause the market price of our securities to drop significantly. The sale of shares of our common stock in the public market or otherwise, including sales pursuant to both the etwo effective Form S-3 Registration Statements and Pprospectuses, dated , respectively, December 1, 2023, (the AJP Registration Statement) and the registration statement and prospectus we are obligated to file pursuant to the Subscription Agreement September 16, 2024 (the Liu Registration Statement) or the perception that such sales could occur, could reduce the prevailing market price of shares of our common stock and increase the volatility of our share price. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us:
|
| to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate; and |
|
|
|
|
| to comply with the Nasdaq listing standards with regard to the minimum bid price of our common stock. |
The shares we intend to registered for resale through Liu Registration Statement (assuming the exercise of the entirety of the warrants) represent approximately 143% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of JulySeptember 30, 2024, and approximately 27% of our public float as of such date. The shares of common stock offered for resale pursuant to the AJP Registration Statement represent approximately 45% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of July 30, 2024, and approximately 854% of our public float as of such date. Until such time that thisese registration statement is s are no longer effective, the registration statement y will permit the resale of these registered shares. As such, sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time.
The risk factor titled In prior years, we identified one material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which, if not remediated, could have resulted in material misstatements in our financial statements is amended and restated as follows:
We have previously reported material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which have been remediated; however, we may identify additional or new material weaknesses in the future that may cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in material misstatements in our financial statements or fail to prevent fraud.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls, and compliance with the other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In prior years, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. While the material weaknesses related to internal controls over financial reporting previously disclosed by Sonim have since been remediated, the process of designing and implementing an effective financial reporting system is a continuous effort that requires our team to anticipate and react to changes in Sonims business, including its geographic expansion, to economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that satisfies its reporting obligations.
We cannot be certain that the measures we have taken, and expect to take, to improve our internal controls will be sufficient to ensure that our internal controls will remain effective and eliminate the possibility that other material weaknesses or deficiencies may develop or be identified in the future. If we identify future material weaknesses in our internal controls, even if quickly remediated once disclosed, investors may lose confidence in our financial statements and our stock price may decline. Implementing changes to our internal controls in connection with the remediation of any material weakness may distract our management and could require us to incur significant expenses. If we fail to remediate any material weakness, our financial statements may be inaccurate, we may be required to restate our financial statements, our ability to report our financial results in a timely and accurate basis may be adversely affected, our access to the capital markets may be restricted, our stock price may decline, and we may be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening Sonims internal controls and procedures, in the future those internal controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or sufficiently identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.
The risk factor titled We have failed, and may continue to fail, to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq, and as a result, our common stock may become delisted, which could have a material adverse effect on the trading, liquidity, and market price of our common stock is amended and restated as follows:
We are required to meet the Nasdaq continued listing requirements and other Nasdaq rules, or we may risk delisting. Delisting could negatively affect the price of our common stock, which could make it more difficult for us to sell securities in a future financing or for you to sell our common stock.
We are required to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq and other Nasdaq rules, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders equity, minimum share price and certain other corporate governance requirements. In particular, we are required to maintain a minimum bid price for our listed common stock of $1.00 per share, which we previously failed to meet resulting in two reverse stock splits in a five-year period in order to regain compliance. If we do not meet these continued listing requirements, our common stock could be delisted. Delisting from the Nasdaq would cause us to pursue eligibility for trading of these securities on other markets or exchanges, or on the pink sheets. In such case, our stockholders ability to trade, or obtain quotations of the market value of our common stock would be severely limited because of lower trading volumes and transaction delays. These factors could contribute to lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices of these securities. There can be no assurance that our securities, if delisted from the Nasdaq in the future, would be listed on a national securities exchange, a national quotation service, the over-the-counter markets or the pink sheets. Delisting from the Nasdaq, or even the issuance of a notice of potential delisting (which notices have previously been issued), would also result in negative publicity, make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital, cause us to lose eligibility to register the sale or resale of our shares on Form S-3 and the automatic exemption from registration under state securities laws for exchange-listed securities, adversely affect the market liquidity of our securities, decrease securities analysts coverage of us or diminish investor, supplier and employee confidence.
