(NASDAQ: SONM) today announced that its stockholders approved the previously announced Asset Purchase Agreement with NEXA® (formerly Social Mobile) at a special meeting held on December 30, 2025.The approval authorizes Sonim to complete the sale of substantially all assets related to its rugged mobile phone and hotspot business. The transaction is expected to close in January 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Proceeds from the transaction are expected to be used to retire debt and provide working capital for the company's cryptocurrency trading platform business.Following the closing, NEXA, a privately held company, will acquire Sonim's brand and rugged device portfolio. NEXA will continue to manufacture, market, and sell Sonim-branded rugged mobile phones and mobile broadband products as part of its enterprise mobility solutions.Upon completion of the sale, the public company will rebrand and shift its strategic focus to DNA X, a crypto trading platform acquired by Sonim in December 2025. DNA X operates a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that automates trading on decentralized exchanges, including recurring and limit orders. Sonim expects to change its name to &#34;DNA X, Inc.&#34; and begin trading under a new Nasdaq ticker symbol &#34;DNAX&#34; within 30 days after the consummation of the Asset Sale.This strategic pivot positions the public company to participate in the growing DeFi ecosystem while operating independently from the rugged mobility business.Mike Mulica, Executive Chair of Sonim Technologies, said: &#34;This transaction represents a clear inflection point for Sonim. Stockholder approval allows us to place the rugged mobility business with NEXA, which is well positioned to support customers, while enabling the public company to focus exclusively on scaling the DNA X crypto trading platform. We believe this outcome provides clarity and long-term opportunity for our stakeholders.&#34;Sonim Technologies will remain headquartered in San Diego, California.About Sonim Technologies Sonim Technologies is a leading U.S. provider of rugged mobile solutions, including phones, wireless internet data devices, accessories and software designed to provide extra protection for users that demand more durability in their work and everyday lives.
