Overview We are a leading global brand of premium, design-forward apartments and intimate boutique hotels serving the modern traveler. Launched in 2014, Sonder offers inspiring, thoughtfully designed accommodations and innovative, tech-enabled service combined into one seamless experience. Sonder properties are found in prime locations in 41 cities, spanning nine countries, and three continents. The Sonder app gives guests control over their stay. Complete with self-service features, simple check-in and 24/7 on-the-ground support, Sonder’s amenities and services are just a tap away, making a world of better stays open to all. We work directly with real estate owners to lease properties that meet our standards and furnish and decorate the properties to provide a design-led, technology-enabled experience, and then make them available for guests to book through direct channels, such as the Sonder app, our website, or our sales personnel, or through indirect channels, such as Airbnb, Inc. (“Airbnb”), Expedia Group, Inc. (“Expedia”), Booking Holdings Inc. (“Booking.com”), and other online travel agencies (“OTAs”). Additionally, in August 2024, we announced a strategic licensing agreement with Marriott and completed our full integration with Marriott’s digital channels and platform in the second quarter of 2025. As of June 2025, all Sonder properties are available for booking on Marriott's digital channels, including Marriott.com and the Marriott Bonvoy® mobile app, under the new “Sonder by Marriott Bonvoy” collection. Our design-focused accommodations come in a variety of shapes and sizes – from a multiple-bedroom apartment with a fully-equipped kitchen and private laundry facilities, to a hotel room or suite. Our diverse product portfolio serves various traveler types, including leisure travelers, families, digital nomads, and business travelers. We manage our properties using proprietary and third-party technologies and deliver services to guests via the Sonder app and 24/7 on-the-ground support. Guest Experience We strive to deliver a better way to stay through technology and design and put the guest experience at the center of everything we do. We have reimagined the guest journey based on a belief that the ubiquity of mobile devices provides an opportunity to modernize the traveler’s entire stay. Our mobile-first experience, from check-in to check-out, is supported by the Sonder app, regardless of how a guest books their stay. All guests are encouraged to download and use the Sonder app to interact with our services and enhance their stay, but use of the Sonder app is not required. The Sonder app puts the “lobby on your phone” and empowers guests to seamlessly navigate their entire journey. This includes: • Check-In : Virtual check-in, online receipt of access instructions, and the ability to request a paid early check-in; • One-Touch Wi-Fi : In-app, one-touch connections to our speedy Wi-Fi; • Digital Concierge : Curated localized recommendations; • Customer Service On Demand : App-based service requests; and • Check-out : In-app requests for paid late check-out and information regarding on- and off-premises baggage storage. While our guest experience is primarily contactless and self-service, our guest services team can be reached 24/7 through the Sonder app, by telephone, text/WhatsApp, and email. For any requests requiring in-person support, we have local team members on the ground in each of our cities. We also bring a passion for design and creativity to our guests’ experiences. We take pride in the spaces we bring to life through our interdisciplinary teams and external partnerships spanning architecture, product and service design, graphic communications, and more. Our properties have been featured in publications including Apartment Therapy, Condé Nast Traveler, Forbes, Good Housekeeping, House Beautiful, National Geographic, Rolling Stone, and Travel + Leisure . Fully equipped kitchens, extra living space, and private laundry facilities are available in many of our apartment-style spaces, providing our guests a wide variety of options whether traveling for leisure or business, individually or as a group. 6 Table of Contents Properties As of December 31, 2024, we had over 9,900 Live Units across 41 cities and nine countries, with over 800 additional Contracted Units.…
