## Overview
Phunware, Inc. is a computer processing and data preparation services company that has experienced continued operating losses of approximately $15 million annually while generating only around $3 million in revenue per year.

Goldenwise Capital Group Ltd, holding 1,404,176 shares representing 6.9% of Phunware, Inc., has launched an activist campaign seeking governance reform and board representation. On July 9, 2026, Goldenwise sent an open letter to the Phunware board criticizing the "Elliot Han Governance Model," citing prolonged operating losses, shareholder dilution, leadership instability, and excessive director compensation (estimated at over $630,000 for Chairman Han since January 2024). Goldenwise has proposed four director candidates—Shawn Kravetz, Richard Ding, Mona Zhang, and Steve Han—and recommends expanding the board by at least three new directors. The investor acquired its stake for approximately $2,690,523 in open-market purchases and has stated it may nominate director candidates and conduct a proxy solicitation at the 2026 Annual Meeting if governance reforms are not implemented.
