PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
This Registration Statement incorporates by reference the documents listed below, which were previously filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (other than portions of these documents that are deemed furnished rather than filed under applicable SEC rules and exhibits furnished in connection with such items):
| (a) | Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed on March 5, 2026; |
| (b) | Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, filed on May 1, 2026; |
| (c) | Our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on each of February 5, 2026, March 4, 2026, May 26, 2026, June 12, 2026 and June 23, 2026; |
| (d) | All other reports filed by us pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), since December 31, 2025 (in each case, except for the information furnished under Items 2.02 or 7.01 in any Current Report on Form 8-K); and |
| (e) | The description of our Common Stock contained in the Registration Statement on Form 8-A, filed on July 31, 1995 (file no. 000-26536), including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description. |
All reports and other documents subsequently filed by us pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such reports and other documents; provided, however, that documents or information deemed to have been furnished and not filed in accordance with SEC rules shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement.
For the purposes of this Registration Statement, any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Under no circumstances shall any information furnished under Item 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K be deemed incorporated herein by reference unless such Form 8-K expressly provides to the contrary.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”) provide that the Registrant will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Bylaws require the Registrant to advance litigation expenses in the case of stockholder derivative actions or other actions, against an undertaking by the directors and officers to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that the directors and officers are not entitled to indemnification. The Bylaws further provide that rights conferred under such Bylaws shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other right such persons may have or acquire under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Registrant believes that indemnification under its Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence.
In addition, the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers if such persons acted (i) in good faith, (ii) in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and (iii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, with reasonable cause to believe such conduct was lawful. The Certificate of Incorporation also provides that, pursuant to Delaware law, no director shall be liable for monetary damages for breach of the director’s fiduciary duty of care to the Registrant and its stockholders. This provision in the Certificate of Incorporation does not eliminate the duty of care, and in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Registrant for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, knowing violations of law, and actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director. The provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws. The Certificate of Incorporation further provides that the Registrant is authorized to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law through the Bylaws, or any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
The Registrant maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8 Filed by Smith Micro Software, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Smith Micro Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the proposed issuance by the Company of up to 600,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), pursuant to the terms of the Smith Micro Software, Inc. Amended and Restated Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).
In connection with such proposed issuance, we have examined (i) the Plan; (ii) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended and as currently in effect; (iii) the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as amended and as currently in effect; (iv) the relevant corporate proceedings of the Company; (v) the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) covering the registration for issuance of the Shares under the Plan; and (vi) such other documents, records, certificates of public officials, statutes, and decisions as we consider necessary to express the opinions contained herein.
In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. As to any facts material to this opinion that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company.
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares that may be issued or delivered and sold pursuant to the Plan and the authorized forms of applicable award agreements thereunder (collectively, the “Award Agreements”), have been duly authorized and, upon issuance or delivery and sale in accordance with the Plan and the Award Agreements, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
We express no opinion as to the applicability or compliance with or effect of federal law or the law of any other jurisdiction other than the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended. In addition, we have assumed that the resolutions authorizing the Company to issue or deliver and sell the Shares in accordance with the Plan and the Award Agreements will be in full force and effect at all times at which the Shares are issued or delivered and sold by the Company, and that the Company will take no action inconsistent with such resolutions. In rendering the opinion above, we have assumed that each award under the Plan will be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or an authorized committee thereof.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. This opinion is being delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S K, promulgated under the Securities Act.
This opinion has been prepared for your use in connection with the issuance of the Shares under the Plan and speaks as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to advise you of any fact, circumstance, event, or change in the law or the facts that may hereafter be brought to our attention, whether or not such occurrence would affect or modify the opinions expressed herein.
It is understood that this opinion is to be used only in connection with the issuance of the Shares while the Registration Statement is in effect.
| Very truly yours,
Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC

| Offering Note | Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement also registers an indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan") as the result of any future stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Amount Registered represents shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Plan being registered pursuant to this Registration Statement. The Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share and the Maximum Aggregate Offering Price are estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(h) under the Securities Act at $2.57 per share of Common Stock, based on the average of the high ($2.61) and low ($2.53) prices for the registrant's Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market on July 2, 2026 (rounded to the nearest cent), which date is within five business days prior to filing this Registration Statement. |
