Immersion Corporation Announces Receipt of a Delinquency Compliance Alert Notice from Nasdaq

Key Terms

form 10-q regulatory

A Form 10-Q is a detailed report that publicly traded companies are required to file with regulators three times a year, providing an update on their financial health and business activities. It is important for investors because it offers timely insights into a company's performance, helping them make informed decisions about buying or selling stocks. Think of it as a regular check-up report that shows how well a company is doing.

form 10-k regulatory

A Form 10-K is a comprehensive report that publicly traded companies are required to file annually with regulators. It provides a detailed overview of a company's financial health, operations, and risks, similar to a detailed health report. Investors use this information to assess the company's performance and make informed decisions about buying or selling its stock.

nasdaq listing rule 5250(c)(1) regulatory

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires companies listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange to promptly notify the exchange if their stock price falls below a certain minimum level, known as the "initial listing standards." This rule helps ensure that investors are aware of significant declines in a company's stock value, which could signal financial trouble or increased risk. Essentially, it helps maintain transparency and protect investors by keeping them informed about important changes in a company's stock performance.

audit committee regulatory

A company's audit committee is a small group of board members who act like independent inspectors for the firm's finances, overseeing how financial reports are prepared, monitoring internal controls, and managing the relationship with external auditors. Investors care because a strong audit committee reduces the risk of accounting errors, fraud, or misleading statements, making financial statements more trustworthy and helping protect shareholder value.

restatement financial

A restatement is a company’s formal correction of previously released financial reports when errors or omissions are discovered, similar to fixing a report card after finding mistakes in the scores. It matters to investors because it can change past performance figures, alter valuation or earnings trends, and signal weaknesses in accounting controls or management oversight, which may affect confidence and the stock’s perceived risk.

consolidation financial

Consolidation is a period when a stock’s price moves within a relatively narrow range, reflecting a balance between buyers and sellers after a prior rise or fall. It matters to investors because it often signals a pause before the next meaningful move — like a coiled spring — and helps with timing trades, setting risk limits and deciding whether momentum will resume upward or reverse downward.

nasdaq regulatory

The Nasdaq is a stock exchange where many companies' shares are bought and sold, functioning much like a marketplace for investments. It matters to investors because it provides a platform to buy and sell ownership stakes in companies, helping them track the value of those companies and make informed decisions. As one of the largest and most technology-focused markets, it also reflects trends and developments in the business world.

listing qualifications regulatory

Rules and standards a stock exchange sets that a company must meet to have its shares traded there, covering size, financial reporting, governance, and other checks. Like the admission criteria for a club or the quality checklist for a product, meeting these qualifications gives investors confidence in a company’s transparency and stability; failing them can reduce trading, raise risk and even lead to removal from the exchange.

AVENTURA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Immersion Corporation (“Immersion”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) (Nasdaq: IMMR), a leading provider of technologies for haptics, announced that on December 23, 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 October 31, 2025 (the “Q2 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”), and on September 29, 2025, the Company received written notice from 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 “Q1 Form 10-Q”). The Q1 Form 10-Q, the Q2 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 to submit to Nasdaq by no later than January 7, 2026, an update to its original plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) which was previously submitted to Nasdaq on October 20, 2025.

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, September 16, 2025, and December 16, 2025, Immersion and Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. (“BNED”), a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, were conducting audit committee investigations that will result in the restatement of previously-issued financial information (the “Restatement”). As a result of the investigations by the Immersion and BNED audit committees and the Company’s work with respect to the Restatement, management was unable to complete the Company’s financial reporting process and preparation of its financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2025, and the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025.

The Company is working diligently to complete the necessary work to file the Q1 Form 10-Q, the Q2 Form 10-Q, and the 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 Q1 Form 10-Q, the Q2 Form 10-Q, and the Form 10-K remains subject to the consolidation of BNED’s financial information.
