Immersion Corporation set the date for its Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026 as Wednesday, October 7, 2026.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Immersion Corporation set the date for its Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026 as Wednesday, October 7, 2026. Because this differs by more than 30 days from the prior year’s meeting, the company set a new deadline of July 13, 2026 for stockholders to submit proposals, director nominations, or universal proxy notices, subject to its Bylaws and SEC rules.

The Board also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share on outstanding common stock, payable on July 31, 2026 to stockholders of record on July 20, 2026, with future dividends to be considered and approved individually.

Insights

Equity analyst

Immersion sets 2026 meeting timeline and continues a modest cash dividend.

Immersion Corporation scheduled its FY 2026 Annual Meeting for October 7, 2026 and, because the date shifted by more than 30 days, established a July 13, 2026 cut-off for stockholder proposals, director nominations, and universal proxy notices under its Bylaws and SEC rules.

The Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share, payable on July 31, 2026 to holders of record on July 20, 2026. The filing emphasizes that dividends remain at the Board’s discretion and may be adjusted or withdrawn as it reassesses capital allocation over time.

Rule 14a-8 regulatory

"outside of Rule 14a-8 (“Rule 14a-8”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934"

Rule 14a-8 is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulation that lets eligible shareholders put proposals on a public company’s proxy ballot for an annual meeting, provided they meet basic ownership and filing requirements. It matters to investors because it creates a formal way to raise governance or strategic issues and force a company-wide vote—like getting an item onto the agenda of a neighborhood association meeting once you’ve lived there long enough—so shareholders can push for change or influence management decisions.

universal proxy rules regulatory

"In addition, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies"

Universal proxy rules require that when shareholders vote to elect directors in a contested election, the proxy card mailed to investors can include candidates nominated by both the company and dissident shareholders, letting investors mix and match their choices on a single ballot. This matters to investors because it makes their vote more flexible and easier to use, like replacing separate lists with one common ballot, which can influence who controls the board and the company’s future direction.

Rule 14a-19 regulatory

"must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act"

Rule 14a-19 is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule that governs how independent proxy advisory firms produce and distribute voting recommendations for shareholders. It requires these advisers to provide companies with notice of their recommendations and a chance to respond, and to disclose certain conflicts; think of it as a referee ensuring both sides see a game plan before fans cast votes. Investors care because proxy advisers influence voting outcomes and corporate governance, so the rule affects transparency, potential bias, and the reliability of guidance that many investors rely on when voting shares.

Annual Meeting of Stockholders financial

"the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026"

quarterly cash dividend financial

"its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share"

A quarterly cash dividend is a payment made by a company to its shareholders four times a year, usually based on its profits. It is like a regular bonus or reward for owning the company's stock, providing shareholders with income. Many investors see these payments as a sign of the company's stability and its ability to generate consistent profits.

The location of the FY 2026 Annual Meeting will be as set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the FY 2026 Annual Meeting to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Due to the fact that the date of the FY 2026 Annual Meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the fiscal year 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company is providing the due date for submission of any qualified stockholder proposal or qualified stockholder nominations.

In accordance with the requirements contained in the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”), stockholders of the Company who wish to bring business before the FY 2026 Annual Meeting outside of Rule 14a-8 (“Rule 14a-8”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or to nominate a person for election as a director must ensure that written notice of such proposal (including all information specified in the Company’s Bylaws) is received by the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the address specified above no later than the close of business on July 13, 2026, which is the 10th calendar date following the date hereof. Any such proposal must meet the requirements set forth in the Company’s Bylaws in order to be brought before the FY 2026 Annual Meeting.

In accordance with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, stockholders who wish to have a Rule 14a-8 proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the FY 2026 Annual Meeting must ensure that their proposal is received by the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the address specified above no later than the close of business on July 13, 2026, which the Company has determined is a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials for the FY 2026 Annual Meeting. Such stockholder proposals must also comply with the other requirements of Rule 14a-8 in order to be eligible for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the FY 2026 Annual Meeting.

In addition, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act by July 13, 2026, which is the 10th calendar date following the date hereof.
