Material Changes and Delisting Notice
- Nasdaq Notification: On December 23, 2025, Nasdaq issued a notification letter stating the Company failed to file its Q2 2025 Form 10-Q. This follows prior notifications regarding the late filing of the FY 2025 Form 10-K and Q1 2025 Form 10-Q.
- Compliance Deadline: The Company must submit an update to its plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) by January 7, 2026.
- Listing Status: Common stock will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq pending the submission of the compliance plan update, provided other listing requirements are met.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Cause of Delay: The inability to file reports stems from audit committee investigations conducted by Immersion and its consolidated subsidiary, Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. (BNED). These investigations will result in a restatement of previously-issued financial information.
Management Action: The Company is working to complete the necessary work to file the overdue reports as soon as practicable. However, the ability to file remains subject to the consolidation of BNED's financial information.
Risks: The filing includes standard forward-looking statements disclaiming guarantees regarding the anticipated filing dates of the 10-K and 10-Q forms. The primary risk is the potential loss of Nasdaq listing if compliance is not achieved.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the status of the audit committee investigations into Immersion and BNED.
- Monitor the submission of the updated compliance plan to Nasdaq by the January 7, 2026 deadline.
- Review the eventual restatement of financial information once the 10-K and 10-Q reports are filed.
- Confirm the continued listing status of IMMR on the Nasdaq Global Market following the compliance plan update.
