Immersion (NASDAQ: IMMR) hit with Nasdaq notice after delayed 2025 Form 10-K filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Immersion Corporation reported that on August 20, 2025 it received a Nasdaq notice because it did not timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).

The company has 60 calendar days from the date of the notice to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance. Its ability to complete and file the Form 10-K depends on an ongoing audit committee internal investigation at subsidiary Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. and the consolidation of that subsidiary’s financial information.

Immersion’s common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market during this 60-day grace period, as long as the company continues to meet Nasdaq’s other listing requirements. The company issued a press release on August 22, 2025 describing the Nasdaq notification.

Positive

• None.

Negative

• Nasdaq noncompliance notice: Immersion did not timely file its Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2025, prompting a Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) deficiency notice and a 60-day deadline to present a compliance plan.
• Ongoing internal investigation affecting reporting: An audit committee internal investigation at subsidiary Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. is preventing completion of financial reporting and consolidation, extending uncertainty around the company’s annual financial statements.

Insights

Equity & Listing Standards Analyst

Immersion faces Nasdaq noncompliance risk due to a delayed 10-K tied to an internal investigation.

Immersion Corporation disclosed it failed to timely file its Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2025, triggering a Nasdaq notice under Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The company now has 60 calendar days from August 20, 2025 to submit a compliance plan, placing formal timing pressure on completing its financial reporting.

The delay is linked to an audit committee internal investigation at subsidiary Barnes & Noble Education, Inc., which has prevented management from finishing the financial reporting process and consolidating the subsidiary’s financial information. Until that work is completed, the annual report cannot be filed, prolonging uncertainty around full-year financials.

During the grace period, Immersion’s common stock continues trading on Nasdaq, provided other listing standards are met. The eventual outcome will depend on completion of the internal investigation and the company’s ability to file the Form 10-K and present an acceptable remediation plan to Nasdaq.
