Audio By Carbonatix

AVENTURA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 2, 2025--

Immersion Corporation (“Immersion”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) (Nasdaq: IMMR), a leading provider of technologies for haptics, announced that on September 29, 2025, it received a delinquency compliance alert notice (the “10-Q Nasdaq Notification Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it did not timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-Q”).

As previously disclosed, on August 20, 2025, the Company received written notice (the “10-K Nasdaq Notification Letter”) from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it did not timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”). Both the Form 10-Q and the Form 10-K are required to be filed for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 60 calendar days from the date of the 10-K Nasdaq Notification Letter, or October 20, 2025, to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). If Nasdaq accepts the plan, the Company will have until February 9, 2026 to regain compliance.

As previously reported on the Company’s Notification of Late Filings on Form 12b-25, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 30, 2025 and September 16, 2025, Immersion and Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. (“BNED”), a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, are conducting audit committee investigations that will result in the restatement of previously-issued financial information (the “Restatement”). As a result of the ongoing investigations by the Immersion and BNED audit committees and the Company’s work with respect to the Restatement, management is unable to complete the Company’s financial reporting process and preparation of its financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2025, and the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.

The Company is working diligently to complete the necessary work to file the Form 10-Q and Form 10-K as soon as practicable to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), but the Company’s ability to file the Form 10-Q and Form 10-K remains subject to the completion of Immersion and BNED’s audit committee investigations and the consolidation of BNED’s financial information.

The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “can,” “will,” “places,” “estimates,” and other similar expressions. However, these words are not the only way we identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include any expectations, projections, or other characterizations of future events, or circumstances. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, therefore we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: the inability to predict the outcome of any litigation, the costs associated with any litigation and the risks related to our business, both direct and indirect, of initiating litigation, unanticipated changes in the markets in which the Company operates; the effects of the current macroeconomic climate; delay in or failure to achieve adoption of or commercial demand for the Company’s products or third party products incorporating the Company’s technologies; the inability of Immersion to renew existing licensing arrangements, or enter into new licensing arrangements on favorable terms; the loss of a major customer; the ability of Immersion to protect and enforce its intellectual property rights and other factors. For a more detailed discussion of these factors, and other factors that could cause actual results to vary materially, interested parties should review the risk factors listed in Immersion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2023 as filed with the SEC, Barnes & Noble Education’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended April 27, 2024, as filed with the SEC, and Immersion’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC.
