PROXY STATEMENT

We are providing you with these proxy materials in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the "Board" or the "Board of Directors") of Immersion Corporation (the "Company"), of proxies to be used at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 (the "FY 2025 Annual Meeting"). The FY 2025 Annual Meeting will be held on April 6, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time at meetnow.global/MQPQGUK, which will be held in virtual only format. You will not be able to attend the FY 2025 Annual Meeting in person. This proxy statement contains important information regarding our FY 2025 Annual Meeting, the proposals on which you are being asked to vote, information you may find useful in determining how to vote, and information about voting procedures. The FY 2025 Annual Meeting will be held for the following purposes:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What is included in the proxy materials?

The proxy materials for our FY 2025 Annual Meeting include this proxy statement and our Annual Report. If you received a paper copy of these materials, the proxy materials also include a proxy card or voting instruction form.

Who is soliciting my vote?

The Board is soliciting your vote at our FY 2025 Annual Meeting.

Who is entitled to vote?

You may vote if you were the record owner of Immersion Corporation common stock as of the close of business on February 6, 2026 (the "Record Date"). Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. As of February 6, 2026, we had 32,921,888 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. There is no cumulative voting.

Who can attend the FY 2025 Annual Meeting?

The FY 2025 Annual Meeting will be held virtually on April 6, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. You are entitled to attend the FY 2025 Annual Meeting if you were a stockholder as of the record date, or if you hold a valid proxy for the FY 2025 Annual Meeting, by accessing meetnow.global/MQPQGUK. Participation in the meeting is limited due to the capacity of the host platform and access to the meeting will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis once electronic entry begins. Electronic entry to the meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time and the meeting will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

In order to ensure that your shares are represented at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting, we strongly encourage you to vote your shares by proxy prior to the FY 2025 Annual Meeting and further encourage you to submit your proxies electronically-by telephone or by Internet-by following the easy instructions on the enclosed proxy card. Your vote is important and voting electronically should facilitate the timely receipt of your proxy.

How many votes must be present to hold the FY 2025 Annual Meeting?

Your shares are counted as present at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting if you virtually attend the meeting and vote or if you properly return a proxy by Internet, telephone or mail. For us to hold our FY 2025 Annual Meeting, holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting as of February 6, 2026 must be present virtually or by proxy at the meeting. This is referred to as a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum at the meeting.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial stockholder?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. ("Computershare"), you are considered a stockholder of record with respect to those shares. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or bank, you are considered the "beneficial owner" or "street name" holder of those shares.

2

What is a broker non-vote?

Applicable rules permit brokers to vote shares held in street name on routine matters when the brokers have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner on how to vote those shares. Brokers may not vote shares held in street name on non-routine matters unless they have received voting instructions from the beneficial owners on how to vote those shares. Shares that are not voted on non-routine matters are called broker non-votes. Broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the vote for any matter properly introduced at the meeting.

What routine and non-routine matters will be voted on at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting?

The ratification of BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026 is the only routine matter to be presented at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting on which brokers may vote in their discretion on behalf of beneficial owners who have not provided voting instructions. The non-routine matters that will be voted on at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting include the election of five (5) directors and the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

The director nominees shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast (meaning that the five director nominees who receive the highest number of votes cast "FOR" their election will be elected as directors). There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors. The ratification of BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026 and the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers require the affirmative "FOR" vote of the majority of the shares present virtually or presented by proxy at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

The advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers is not binding upon us. However, the Compensation Committee of the Board, which is responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation programs, values the opinions expressed by stockholders and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions.

How are withhold votes, abstentions and broker non-votes counted?

Abstentions, withhold votes and broker non-votes are included in determining whether a quorum is present. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" on the vote to ratify the independent public accounting firm and the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers because an abstention represents a share entitled to vote on such proposal. Withhold votes will have no effect on any director nominee proposals. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote for any matter properly introduced at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting.

What are my voting choices for each of the proposals to be voted on at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting and how does the Board recommend that I vote my shares?

How do I vote?

Stockholders of Record: You can vote either electronically at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting or by proxy. Persons who vote by proxy need not, but are entitled to, virtually attend the FY 2025 Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to virtually attend the FY 2025 Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote your shares by proxy. This proxy statement, the accompanying proxy card and the Annual Report are being made available to our stockholders on the Internet at www.envisionreports.com/IMMR.

You may vote your shares as follows - in all cases, have your proxy card in hand:

4

Beneficial Stockholders: If you hold your shares of Immersion Corporation common stock in a brokerage account (that is, in "street name"), your ability to vote by telephone or over the Internet depends on your broker's voting process. Please follow the directions on your proxy card or voting instruction card carefully. Please note that brokers may not vote your shares on Proposal 1 (Election of Directors) or Proposal 3 (Advisory vote on executive compensation). Please provide your voting instructions so your vote can be counted on these matters.

If you plan to vote at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting you may do so by following the instructions on the virtual FY 2025 Annual Meeting website at meetnow.global/MQPQGUK. Even if you plan to attend the FY 2025 Annual Meeting virtually, we recommend that you submit your proxy card by mail or voting instructions via the Internet or by telephone by the applicable deadline so that your vote will be counted if you later decide to not attend the FY 2025 Annual Meeting.

How can I revoke my proxy or change my vote?

You can revoke your proxy or change your vote at any time before they are exercised in any of the following ways:

Who counts the votes?

We have hired Computershare to count the votes represented by proxies and cast by ballot, and our Corporate Secretary, or other individual as appointed by the Board, will act as Inspector of Election.

When will we announce the voting results?

We will announce the preliminary voting results at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting. Within four business days of the FY 2025 Annual Meeting, we will report the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, a copy of which will be available at www.sec.gov.

Will my shares be voted if I don't provide my proxy and don't attend the FY 2025 Annual Meeting?

If you do not provide a proxy or vote your shares held in your name, your shares will not be voted. If you hold your shares in street name, your broker has the authority to vote your shares for "routine" matters even if you do not provide the broker with voting instructions.

5

Without instructions from you, the broker may not vote on any proposals other than the ratification of BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026, which is a routine matter.

What if I am a stockholder of record and return my proxy but don't vote for some of the matters listed on my proxy card?

If you return a signed proxy card without indicating your vote, your shares will be voted "FOR" the director nominees listed on the card (Proposal 1), "FOR" the ratification of BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 2) and "FOR" the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers (Proposal 3).

What if I am a beneficial owner and do not give voting instructions to my broker?

As a beneficial owner, in order to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would like, you must provide voting instructions to your bank or broker by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your bank or broker. If you do not provide voting instructions to your bank or broker, whether your shares can be voted by such person depends on the type of item being considered for vote. Brokers may not vote shares held in street name on non-routine matters unless they have received voting instructions from the beneficial owners on how to vote those shares. The ratification of BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026 is the only routine matter to be presented at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting on which brokers may vote in their discretion on behalf of beneficial owners who have not provided voting instructions. All other matters are considered "non-routine".

Could other matters be decided at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting?

We are not aware of any other matters to be presented at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting. If any matters are properly brought before the FY 2025 Annual Meeting, the persons named in your proxies will vote in accordance with their best judgment. Discretionary authority to vote on other matters is included in the proxy.

Do we have a policy about directors' attendance at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting?

Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Principles, directors are strongly encouraged, but not required, to attend the FY 2025 Annual Meeting. All of our then-current directors and director nominees attended the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

How can I access Immersion Corporation's proxy materials and Annual Report electronically?

This proxy statement, the accompanying proxy card and the Annual Report are being made available to our stockholders on the Internet at www.envisionreports.com/IMMR. Most stockholders can elect to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet instead of receiving paper copies in the mail.

If you own Immersion Corporation common stock in your name, you can choose this option and reduce the cost of producing and mailing these documents and help the environment by checking the box for electronic delivery on your proxy card, or by following the instructions provided when you vote by telephone or over the Internet. If you hold your Immersion Corporation common stock through a bank, broker or other holder of record, please refer to the information provided by that entity for instructions on how to elect to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet.

6

If you choose to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet, you will receive a Notice of Internet Availability next year in the mail containing the Internet address to use to access our proxy statement and annual report. Your choice will remain in effect unless you change your election following the receipt of a Notice of Internet Availability. You do not have to elect Internet access each year. If you later change your mind and would like to receive paper copies of our proxy statements and annual reports, you can request both by following the directions set forth on the Notice of Internet Availability.

Who bears the cost of this proxy solicitation?

The Company will pay the costs of preparing, printing, assembling and mailing the proxy materials used in the solicitation of proxies. Our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies by mail, by email, by telephone or in person. Those persons will receive no additional compensation for any solicitation activities. We will request banking institutions, brokerage firms, custodians, trustees, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of Immersion Corporation common stock held of record by those entities, and we will, upon the request of those record holders, reimburse reasonable forwarding expenses.

How do I submit a proposal for action at the FY 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders?

A proposal for action to be presented by any stockholder at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026 (the "FY 2026 Annual Meeting") will be acted upon only:

7

In addition, the stockholder proponent, or a representative who is qualified under state law, must appear virtually at the FY 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to present such proposal. Our Bylaws, which are publicly available as an exhibit to the Annual Report, provide detailed information on how to properly submit stockholder proposals and director nominations, and should be read carefully.

Proposals should be sent to our Corporate Secretary at our principal office, which as of the date of this Proxy Statement, is located at 2999 N.E. 191st Street, Suite 610, Aventura, Florida 33180.

Beneficial owners should contact their broker or bank.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS (PROPOSAL 1)

Our Board of Directors is elected by the stockholders to oversee their interest in the long-term health and the overall success of our business and its financial strength. Our Board serves as our ultimate decision-making body, except for those matters reserved to or shared with our stockholders. Our Board selects and oversees the members of our senior management, who are charged by our Board with conducting our business.

Election Process

In accordance with our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, all directors will be elected at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting, and each director elected at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting will hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, or

8

removal. If a quorum is present and voting, the nominees for directors receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected as director. Withheld votes and broker non-votes have no effect on the vote.

Nomination of Directors

The entire Board of Directors is responsible for nominating members for election to the Board and for filling vacancies on the Board that may occur between annual meetings of stockholders, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the independent members of the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, screening, and recommending candidates to the entire Board for Board membership. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee works with the Board to determine the appropriate characteristics, skills, and experience for the Board as a whole and its individual members. In evaluating the suitability of individual Board members, the Board considers many factors, which are described in further detail below. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole with the objective of retaining a group of directors with diverse and relevant experience that can best perpetuate our success and represent stockholder interests through sound judgment.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may seek the input of other members of the Board or management in identifying candidates who meet the criteria outlined above. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may use the services of consultants or a search firm. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider recommendations by our stockholders of qualified director candidates for possible nomination by the Board. Stockholders may recommend qualified director candidates by writing to our Corporate Secretary at the Company's principal office of the Company, currently located at 2999 N.E. 191st Street, Suite 610, Aventura, Florida 33180. Submissions should include information regarding a candidate's background, qualifications, experience, and willingness to serve as a director. Based on a preliminary assessment of a candidate's qualifications, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may conduct interviews with the candidate or request additional information from the candidate. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses the same process for evaluating all candidates for nomination by the Board, including those recommended by stockholders.

Stockholder Nominations

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws also permit persons to be nominated as directors directly by stockholders if certain timing, information and other requirements are met.

For a stockholder to properly nominate a person as a candidate for director before any stockholders' meeting, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation (the "Nominating Notice"). The deadline to nominate a person as a candidate for director before an annual stockholders' meeting is: (a) not less than 90 calendar days nor more than 120 calendar days in advance of the first anniversary of the date that our proxy statement was first made publicly available to stockholders (the "Last Year Proxy Date"), or (b) in the event that the annual meeting of stockholders is called for a date that is more than 30 calendar days before or more than 60 days after the first anniversary of the Last Year Proxy Date, or if we did not hold an annual meeting (or special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting) in the preceding calendar year, then the deadline would be the later of (i) the 90th calendar day prior to such annual meeting and (ii) the 10th calendar day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such stockholders' meeting was first made.

As to each person whom the stockholder giving notice proposes to nominate as a director, the Nominating Notice must include certain information, including a description in reasonable detail of any direct or indirect interest of such proposed director nominee or nominees that is or may reasonably be

9

considered to be competitive or in conflict with us, which information may result in the disqualification of such proposed director nominee or nominees. The Nominating Notice must also provide, with respect to each proposed director nominee, that a proposed director nominee: (a) make specified written representations and undertakings; (b) deliver a completed questionnaire provided by us; (c) submit to an interview; and (d) consent to a background screening, as well as other information about the nominee that must be disclosed in proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company's nominees must also provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act, by the later of (a) 60 calendar days prior to the date of the annual meeting or (b) 10 calendar days following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Amended and Restated Bylaws which can be found as an exhibit to our Annual Report.

Qualifications of Directors and Nominees

When evaluating potential director nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers each individual's professional expertise and educational background in addition to the individual's general qualifications. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee works with the Board to determine the appropriate mix of backgrounds and experiences in order to establish and maintain a Board that is strong in its collective knowledge and that can fulfill its responsibilities and oversee our business consistent with its fiduciary duty to stockholders.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee communicates with the Board to identify backgrounds, qualifications, professional experiences, and areas of expertise that impact our business that are particularly desirable for our directors to possess in order to help meet specific Board needs, including:

10

The following table highlights each director's or director nominee's specific skills, knowledge and experience. A particular director may possess other skills, knowledge or experience even though they are not indicated below.

The Board does not have a specific diversity policy, but considers diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, age, cultural background and professional experience in evaluating candidates for Board membership. Diversity is important because a variety of perspectives contribute to a more effective decision-making process.

Nominees for Director

Our Board's nominees for election at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting are William Martin, Elias Nader, Eric Singer, Frederick Wasch and Emily Hoffman. If elected, these nominees will hold office until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026 and until such person's successor is elected and qualified.

We have no reason to believe that the nominees listed above will be unable or unwilling to serve if elected. However, if any of these nominees should become unable for any reason or unwilling for good cause to serve, proxies may be voted for another person nominated as a substitute by the Board, or the Board may reduce the number of directors. The Board believes that the nominees' qualifications, skills and experiences would contribute to an effective and well-functioning Board.

Included in each nominee's biography below is an assessment of his or her specific qualifications, attributes, skills, and experience based on the qualifications described above.

There are no family relationships between the nominees, any directors, or any of our executive officers.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board regarding all matters pertaining to compensation paid to directors for Board, committee and committee chair services. Directors who also serve as our employees do not receive cash fees for services as directors, but remain eligible to receive equity awards as discussed below.

14

2024 Transition Period and FY 2025 Annual Compensation

Cash Compensation

Our policy is that non-employee directors each receive annual cash compensation of $75,000, paid in quarterly installments on or before the date of each quarterly Board meeting, with no additional fees paid for service as a Board committee chairperson or member of a Board committee. Fees for partial year service are pro-rated. Directors are entitled to reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses (as set forth in the Company's Travel and Expense Reimbursement Policy) they incur in connection with attending Board and committee meetings.

Equity Compensation

Upon the commencement of each director's service on the Board and at each annual stockholder meeting thereafter (if they serve on the Board at such time), each non-employee director receives an annual grant of restricted stock awards ("RSAs") having a value equal to $125,000 on the date of the annual stockholder meeting, 100% of which vests on the earlier of the next annual meeting of stockholders or the one-year anniversary of the annual meeting for which such grants are made, subject to acceleration in full upon a change of control of the Company; provided that if a director commences services between the annual stockholder meetings, the director shall receive a prorated initial equity grant based on the number of days before the next annual stockholder meeting (assuming the next annual meeting is held on the same calendar day as the prior year's annual meeting).

In accordance with such policies, on April 29, 2024, the date of our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, each of Messrs. Singer, Martin, Wasch, and Nader and Ms. Hoffman were granted an RSA for the number of shares underlying such award determined by dividing $125,000 by the closing price of our common stock on April 29, 2024.

There were no director grants made in fiscal year 2025.

2024 Transition Period and FY 2025 Director Compensation Table

As previously disclosed, the Company changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to April 30 and, as such, the following table sets forth our director compensation for each director who served as a director during the 2024 Transition Period and fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 (in dollars). The equity compensation paid to Mr. Singer, our current President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Martin, our Chief Strategy Officer, in connection with their service as directors, are presented below in "Executive Compensation-2024 Transition Period and FY 2025 Summary Compensation Table" and the related equity tables.

15

Director Stock Ownership Guidelines

We have established stock ownership guidelines to further align our non-employee directors' interests with those of our stockholders. The guidelines require each non-employee director to acquire and hold shares of our common stock equal in value to three times the non-employee directors' annual cash retainer. Each non-employee director must meet such requirement prior to the five-year anniversary of the date he or she joins the Board. Messrs. Singer and Martin are also subject to stock ownership guidelines.

Stock-Based Compensation

We use stock-based awards to reward long-term performance and incentivize future performance of our executive officers and other employees and service providers. We believe that providing a meaningful portion of the total compensation package in the form of stock-based awards aligns the incentives of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders and motivates and helps retain our executive officers and other personnel. Stock-based awards are awarded under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We are committed to good corporate governance, which promotes the long-term interests of stockholders, strengthens Board and management accountability and helps build public trust. The Board of Directors has established Corporate Governance Principles which provide a framework for our effective governance. The principles address matters such as the director responsibilities, director qualifications, determination of director independence, Board committee structure, Chief Executive Officer performance evaluation and management succession. The Board regularly reviews developments in corporate governance and updates the Corporate Governance Principles and other governance materials as it deems necessary and appropriate.

The corporate governance section of our website makes available our corporate governance materials, including the Corporate Governance Principles, our Stock Ownership Policy, the charters for each Board committee and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. These documents are available on our website at immersion.com/investor-relations/corporate-governance.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board has determined that having Mr. Singer serve as our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board is in our best interests and those of our stockholders.

Since joining our Board in 2020, Mr. Singer has played the primary role in our Company's transformation, new cost structure, capital allocation strategy (in combination with Mr. Martin's efforts as Chief Strategy Officer), active management of the business and his initiation and leadership role in the litigation efforts to enforce the Company's intellectual property. Further, Mr. Singer's skillset, including his prior public company leadership roles, experience with shareholders and potential hostile shareholders, deep domain expertise with capital markets and investor relations, strategic matters and capital allocation, will be instrumental in continuing to execute on our Company's strategy. In addition, given the size of the Company, Mr. Singer fulfills numerous roles in addition to his management responsibilities (such as sales, marketing and corporate development).

16

Messrs. Singer and Martin also bring a unique stockholder perspective to our Board. Mr. Singer is an affiliate of VIEX Capital Advisers, and Mr. Martin is an affiliate of Raging Capital Management. Each of VIEX and Raging Capital were our two largest stockholders for several years. Although these funds are no longer among our largest stockholders, Mr. Singer has purchased a considerable number of shares as an individual. We believe their experience as investors, and in some instances, actively engaging with companies in which they had invested, brings a unique and valuable stockholder perspective to our Board and our leadership structure. This perspective is critically important when the Board makes decisions regarding our corporate strategy, our operations, compensation decisions and structure and a variety of other critical decisions made by our Board.

On January 3, 2023, Elias Nader became our lead independent director. The lead independent director may communicate with our Chief Executive Officer, disseminate information to the rest of the Board in a timely manner, raise issues with management on behalf of the outside directors when appropriate, and facilitate communications between management and the outside directors. In addition, the lead independent director may have other responsibilities, including calling meetings of outside directors when necessary and appropriate, being available, when appropriate, for consultation and direct communication with our stockholders, building a productive relationship between the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, ensuring the Board fulfills its oversight responsibilities in our strategy, risk oversight and succession planning, and performing such other duties as the Board may from time to time designate.

Independence of Directors

In accordance with the standards for independence set forth in the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, our Board has determined that, other than our employee directors, each of the members of our Board has no relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities as a director. The non-employee directors, Messrs. Nader and Wasch and Ms. Hoffman, are all considered "independent" in accordance with the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. Mr. Singer and Mr. Martin are executive officers of the Company and therefore are not independent.

Risk Management

Our Board recognizes the importance of effective risk oversight in running a successful business and in fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities for us and our stockholders. Consistent with our Board leadership structure, our Chief Executive Officer and other members of our executive team are responsible for the day-to-day management of risk, while our Board is responsible for ensuring that we have an appropriate culture of risk management, set the right "tone at the top," oversee our aggregate risk profile and assist management in addressing specific risks.

Our Board exercises its oversight responsibility for risk both directly and through its standing committees. Strategic, operational and competitive risks also are presented and discussed at our Board's quarterly meetings, and more often as needed. On at least an annual basis, our Board conducts a review of our long-term strategic plans and members of our executive team report on our top risks and the steps management has taken or will take to mitigate these risks. On a regular basis between Board meetings, our Chief Executive Officer provides updates to the Board on the critical issues we face and recent developments in our principal markets.

17

Risk Management

Our Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing our risk management framework and programs, as well as the framework by which management discusses our risk profile and risk exposures with our full Board and its committees. Our Audit Committee meets regularly with our Chief Financial Officer, our independent auditor, and other members of senior management to discuss our major financial risk exposures, financial reporting, internal controls, credit and liquidity risk, compliance risk, key operational risks, cybersecurity risk and our risk management framework and programs. Other responsibilities include at least annually reviewing the implementation and effectiveness of our compliance and ethics program and our business continuity plan and test results. Our Audit Committee meets regularly in separate executive sessions with the independent auditor, as well as with Audit Committee members only, to facilitate a full and candid discussion of risk and other issues.

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing human capital and compensation risks, including evaluating and assessing risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for all employees and ensuring executive compensation is aligned with performance. Our Compensation Committee also is charged with monitoring our incentive and equity-based compensation plans, including employee benefit plans.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees risks related to our overall corporate governance, including Board and committee composition, Board size and structure, director independence, and our corporate governance profile and ratings. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also is actively engaged in overseeing risks associated with succession planning for our Board and management.

Our Board believes that one of its primary responsibilities is to oversee the development and retention of executive talent and to ensure that an appropriate succession plan is in place for our Chief Executive Officer and other members of management. Each year, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets with our executives to discuss management succession planning and to address potential vacancies in senior leadership. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also annually reviews with the Board succession planning for our Chief Executive Officer. In addition to executive and management succession, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee regularly oversees and plans for director succession and refreshment of the Board to ensure a mix of skills, experience, tenure, and diversity that promote and support our long-term strategy. In doing so, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into consideration the overall needs, composition and size of the Board, as well as the criteria adopted by the Board regarding director candidate qualifications. Individuals identified by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as qualified to become directors are then recommended to the Board for nomination or election.

18

Company Policies

Our Board has adopted several policies governing directors, employees, and/or officers: (i) the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that outlines the principles of legal and ethical business conduct, which was updated as of March 2021; (ii) the Stock Ownership Policy, which requires our executives and non-employee directors to have a direct ownership in Immersion's common stock; (iii) the Insider Trading Policy, which outlines the procedures and guidelines governing securities trades by our employees; (iv) the Immersion Environmental and Social Policy; and (v) the Immersion Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy.

The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is applicable to all of our directors, employees, and officers and is available on our website at immersion.com/investor-relations/corporate-governance. Any substantive amendment or waiver of this policy may be made only by our Board upon a recommendation of the Audit Committee and, as required by applicable SEC rules, we intend to satisfy the disclosure requirement under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K by disclosing such information on our website.

The Stock Ownership Policy is applicable to our executives and non-employee directors and is available on our website at immersion.com/investor-relations/corporate-governance. This policy requires that these individuals hold stock equal in value to, in the case of our CEO and non-employee directors, three times, and our other executives, one times, the amount of their annual cash retainer/base salary. This is calculated once a year and there is a five-year period in which to comply. If it is determined that a particular person does not comply with the policy, the individual will be notified and will be required to retain 50% of the net shares received as a result of any exercise, vesting or payment of any equity awards until he or she becomes compliant.

The Insider Trading Policy applies to all of our current and former employees, directors, independent contractors, agents and consultants. The Insider Trading Policy prohibits short sales, the buying or selling of puts, calls or other derivative or similar securities of the Company or engaging in any other hedging transaction, using the Company's securities as collateral in a margin account, or pledging the Company's securities as collateral for a loan (or modifying an existing pledge). We believe that the Insider Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws, rules and regulations, as well as Nasdaq listing standards applicable to the Company, relating to insider trading. In addition, with regard to our trading in our own securities, it is our policy to comply with applicable federal securities laws and Nasdaq listing requirements.

In connection with the SEC's and Nasdaq's recently approved rules requiring adoption of a clawback policy applicable to incentive-based compensation for Section 16 officers of listed companies, the Company has adopted the Immersion Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy. Under such policy, if the Company is required to restate its financial results due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements under the securities laws, the Company will recoup any erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from the Company's current and former executive officers. Further, our Executive Incentive Plan provides the Company with the authority to require repayment of annual cash incentive awards in instances of fraudulent activity and/or misstated financials or otherwise inaccurate financial reporting.

19

Communications by Stockholders with Directors

Stockholders may communicate with any and all directors by transmitting correspondence by mail, facsimile, or e-mail, addressed as follows: Board or individual director, c/o Corporate Secretary, Immersion Corporation, 2999 N.E. 191st Street, Suite 610, Aventura, FL 33180; Fax: (408) 467-1901; E-mail Address: [email protected]. Our Corporate Secretary will maintain a log of such communications and transmit as soon as practicable such communications to the identified director addressee(s). The acceptance and forwarding of a communication to any director does not imply that the director owes or assumes any fiduciary duty to the person submitting the communication, all such duties being only as prescribed by applicable law.

Board Meetings and Committees of the Board

Attendance at Board, Committee and Annual Stockholder Meetings

Our Board and its committees meet throughout the year, hold special meetings as needed, and act by written consent from time to time. The Board met five times during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025. Each director attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and of any committees of the Board on which he or she serves or served. The total number of meetings held by each committee is set forth below under "Committees of the Board."

We make every effort to schedule our annual meeting of stockholders at a time and date to accommodate attendance by directors, taking into account the directors' schedules. All directors are encouraged to attend the annual meeting of stockholders. All of our then-current directors and director nominees attended our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders.

Executive Sessions of the Board

The non-executive members of our Board and all committees of our Board regularly meet in executive session without management present at each regularly scheduled Board and committee meeting.

Committees of the Board

The Board has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The Board has also adopted a written charter for each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each written charter is available on our website at immersion.com/investor-relations/corporate-governance.

In each case, our Board has delegated the responsibilities set forth below to the respective committee; however, our Board may from time to time, perform the duties itself.

Compensation Committee Processes and Procedures

Role of Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to the Board for approval all compensation programs (including equity compensation) applicable to our named executive officers and directors, our overall strategy for employee compensation, and the specific compensation of our Chief Executive Officer.

The Compensation Committee approves the compensation of all other executive officers. The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to select and retain consultants, consulting firms, legal counsel, accounting and other advisers, as it deems appropriate.

Role of Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman in Compensation Decisions

While the Compensation Committee determines our overall compensation philosophy, our Board sets the compensation for our Chief Executive Officer. Our Chief Executive Officer also provides our Board and the Compensation Committee with his perspective on the performance of our named executive officers as part of the determination of the individual portion payable under the executive incentive plans (as described below) and the annual personnel review as well as a self-assessment of his own performance.

Our Chief Executive Officer is also a current member of our Board of Directors but is not present during discussions by the Compensation Committee or our Board relating to his own compensation. Our Chief Executive Officer recommends to the Compensation Committee specific compensation amounts for named executive officers other than himself, and the Compensation Committee considers those recommendations and the information provided by its compensation consultant concerning peer group comparisons and industry trends when making its compensation decisions. Our Chief Executive Officer and members of our management team regularly attend portions of the Compensation Committee's meetings to provide perspectives on the competitive landscape and the needs of the business, information regarding our performance, and technical advice. Members of the Compensation Committee also participate in our Board's annual review of the Chief Executive Officer's performance and its setting of annual performance goals, in each case led by our lead independent director.

RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

In accordance with our Audit Committee charter, our Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the terms and conditions of any related party transactions. Review of any related party transaction would include reviewing each such transaction for potential conflicts of interests and other improprieties. Except as described in "Director Compensation" above and in "Executive Compensation" below, since January 1, 2023 , there has not been, nor is there currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions, to which we are or were a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any of our directors, executive officers, or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any of the immediate family members of such persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

In addition to indemnification provisions in our Bylaws, we have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and executive officers. These agreements provide for indemnification of our directors and executive officers for certain types of expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by persons in any action or proceeding, including any action by us or in our right, arising out of their services as our director or executive officer. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers.

24

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to Be Acted Upon

No person who has served as an officer or director of the Company since January 1, 2023, nor any director nominee, and no associate of such a person, has any substantial interest in the matters to be acted upon at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting, other than (i) as a result of his or her role as an officer or director of the Company, or (iii) in his or her role as a shareholder in proportion to his or her percentage shareholding.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock (the "Reporting Persons") to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Reporting Persons are required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company and written representations from the executive officers and directors, the Company believes that the Reporting Persons complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2025, except that Mr. Martin filed a late Form 4 with respect to an issuance of shares of common stock to Mr. Martin in lieu of a salary for services provided to the Company during the three months ended January 31, 2025.

Offer Letters and Arrangements

Pursuant to an offer letter with Mr. Singer dated December 30, 2022 (the "Singer Offer Letter"), Mr. Singer was entitled to receive a base salary of $795,000, retroactive to October 1, 2022. Mr. Singer's base salary was increased to $898,500 in 2023 and increased to $1,057,000 in 2024. Additionally, in 2022, Mr. Singer received a signing bonus of $100,000 pursuant to the Singer Offer Letter. Pursuant to the Singer

29

Offer Letter, Mr. Singer is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus pursuant to the Company's executive bonus plan, with the actual amount of the bonus based on the achievement of performance metrics established by the Compensation Committee. Finally, the Singer Offer Letter provides that while he serves on the Board, he will remain eligible to receive a restricted stock award at each annual stockholder meeting with the same grant date value and subject to the same vesting and other terms as other directors.

In structuring Mr. Singer's compensation, the Compensation Committee considers Mr. Singer's primary role in our transformation, new cost structure, capital allocation strategy (in combination with Mr. Martin's efforts as Chief Strategy Officer), active management of the business and his initiation and leadership role in our IP enforcement strategies. The Compensation Committee also considers the numerous roles Mr. Singer fulfills in addition to his management responsibilities (such as sales, marketing and corporate development) given the size of the Company.

Mr. William C. Martin

Pursuant to the Company's arrangement with Mr. Martin, Mr. Martin is entitled to receive an annualized base salary of $350,000. In addition, Mr. Martin is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus pursuant to the Company's executive bonus plan, with the actual amount of the bonus based on the achievement of performance metrics established by the Compensation Committee.

Mr. Eric Singer

Pursuant to our severance arrangement with Eric Singer, our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board, Mr. Singer will be entitled, in the event that his employment is involuntarily terminated either before or following a change of control, to receive: (i) a lump sum cash severance payment equal to 300% of his then effective base salary and target bonus; (ii) payments for COBRA premiums for up to 18 months, if an appropriate election is made, following his termination date; and (iii) acceleration in full of any outstanding equity awards.

Additional Compensation Policies and Practices

Limited Perquisites and Other Benefits

We provide certain named executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that the Compensation Committee believes are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation programs and philosophy and which benefits are generally available to all our employees.

Stock Ownership Policy

Our executive officers and non-employee directors are subject to a stock ownership policy that is available on our website at immersion.com/investor-relations/corporate-governance. See "Corporate Governance-Company Policies" above.

Impact of Accounting and Tax Requirements on Compensation

The Company considers the effects of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which generally disallows the tax deduction for compensation in excess of $1 million for certain covered individuals. The Compensation Committee believes that stockholder interests are best served if its discretion and flexibility in awarding compensation is not restricted, even though some compensation awards may result in non-deductible compensation expenses. Therefore, the Compensation Committee has approved salaries and other awards for executive officers that were not fully deductible because of Section 162(m) and, in light of the repeal of the performance-based compensation exception to Section 162(m), expects in the future to approve additional compensation that is not deductible for income tax purposes.

31

Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation

On September 8, 2025, the Board concluded that the Company's previously-issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal third quarter and nine months ended January 31, 2025, the fiscal second quarter and six months ended October 31, 2024, and the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, contained in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (the "Restated Periods"), as well as its disclosures related to such financial statements, including any reports, earnings releases, and investor presentations, and related communications issued by or on behalf of the Company with respect to the Restated Periods (the "Previously-Issued Financial Information"), should no longer be relied upon. As a result we restated our financial statements for the Previously-Issued Financial Information (collectively, the "Restatement") and we concluded that recovery of erroneously awarded compensation was not required under the Immersion Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy as no excess compensation was paid to any subject executive officer based on the financial results for the Restated Periods.

In addition, changes in the market price of our common stock following the date of grant of an award can significantly impact the level of compensation that is actually paid to our NEOs. To assist in understanding the changes to the equity awards reflected above, the following table reflects the value of one share of our common stock as of each of the following dates. If that date reflects a non-business day, the value reported is the last trading date of the applicable calendar year:

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The following table provides information as of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 concerning our equity compensation plans:

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

This report of the Audit Committee is required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not to be deemed "soliciting material," is not to be deemed "filed" with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not to be incorporated by reference in any filing of Immersion Corporation under the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any filing.

Under the guidance of a written charter adopted by our Board, the purpose of our Audit Committee is to retain an independent registered public accounting firm, to make such examinations as are necessary to monitor the corporate financial reporting of the internal and external audits and its subsidiaries, to provide to the Board the results of its examinations and recommendations derived there from, to outline to the Board the improvements made, or to be made, in internal accounting controls, and to provide the Board with such additional information and materials as it may deem necessary to make the Board aware of significant financial matters that require the attention of the Board.

Management is primarily responsible for the system of internal controls and the financial reporting process. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for expressing an opinion on the financial statements based on an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Our Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring and overseeing these processes.

In this context and in connection with the audited financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2025, our Audit Committee:

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (PROPOSAL 2)

We are asking our stockholders to ratify the Audit Committee's engagement of BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026. In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, our Audit Committee will reconsider its engagement. Even if the engagement is ratified, our Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the engagement of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if our Audit Committee feels that such a change would be in our and our stockholders' best interest.

In accordance with standing policy, BDO periodically changes the personnel who work on the audit.

On June 5, 2024, our Audit Committee, in furtherance of our ongoing effort to improve our cost structure and balance sheet, dismissed Plante & Moran, PLLC ("Plante Moran") as our independent registered public accounting firm, effective on June 5, 2024.

On June 5, 2024, our Audit Committee appointed Frank, Rimerman + Co. LLP ("Frank, Rimerman") as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Plante Moran's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the subsequent interim periods through June 5, 2024, there were (i) no disagreements with Plante Moran on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, any of which, if not resolved to Plante Moran's satisfaction, would have caused Plante Moran to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such fiscal years, and (ii) no "reportable events" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

On July 16, 2024, our Audit Committee was notified that Frank, Rimerman resigned as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, effective on July 16, 2024.

On July 16, 2024, our Audit Committee appointed BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, effective July 17, 2024.

Frank, Rimerman did not issue any reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements and, as such, no reports contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the period beginning June 5, 2024 and ending July 16, 2024, there were (i) no disagreements with Frank, Rimerman on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, any of which, if not resolved to Frank, Rimerman's satisfaction, would have caused Frank, Rimerman to make reference thereto in any report on the consolidated financial statements, and (ii) no "reportable events" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Other than auditing our 401(k) plan for the plan year 2021, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Plante Moran regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of

36

audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that Plante Moran concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Audit Fees and All Other Fees

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed to us for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 and the transition period ended April 30, 2024 by BDO USA, P.C. ("BDO").

Audit Fees. This category consists of the aggregate fees billed, or expected to be billed, for professional services rendered for the audits of our consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, along with reviews of interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in quarterly reports, services that are normally provided by our independent registered accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, and attestation services.

Audit-Related Fees. This category consists of the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements and are not reported under "Audit Fees."

Tax Fees. This category consists of the aggregate fees billed for tax compliance/preparation and other tax services. Tax compliance/preparation includes tax return preparation, claims for refunds, and tax payment planning services related to federal, state, and international taxes. Other tax services include tax advice, tax strategy and other miscellaneous tax consulting and planning primarily related to our reorganization of international operations.

All Other Fees. This category consists of the aggregate fees for all other services other than those reported above. Our intent is to minimize services in this category.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

Our Audit Committee has determined that all services performed by each of its independent auditors are compatible with maintaining the independence of its independent auditors. In addition, since the effective date of the SEC rules stating that an independent public accounting firm is not independent of an audit client if the services it provides to the client are not appropriately approved, our Audit Committee has approved, and will continue to pre-approve all services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services, and other services. None of the services described above were approved by our Audit Committee pursuant to the waiver of pre-approval provisions set forth in applicable rules of the SEC.

37

Our Audit Committee has adopted a policy for the pre-approval of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, pursuant to which it may pre-approve certain audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees, and fees for other services. Under the policy, our Audit Committee may also delegate authority to pre-approve certain specified audit or permissible non-audit services to one or more of its members. A member to whom pre-approval authority has been delegated must report his pre-approval decisions, if any, to our Audit Committee at its next meeting. Unless our Audit Committee determines otherwise, the term for any service pre-approved by a member to whom pre-approval authority has been delegated is twelve months.

Other Information

We have been advised by BDO that neither the firm, nor any member of the firm, has any financial interest, direct or indirect, in any capacity in us or our subsidiaries.

One or more representatives of BDO will be present at this year's FY 2025 Annual Meeting. The representatives will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Ratification of the appointment of the independent public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the FY 2025 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on Proposal 2. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" Proposal 2.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF BDO AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING APRIL 30, 2026.

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (PROPOSAL 3)

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we seek a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K in the Executive Compensation section beginning on page 26. We have designed our compensation programs to align compensation with our annual and long-term business objectives and performance and to motivate executive officers to enhance long-term stockholder value. Consistent with the stockholders' 2023 advisory vote on the frequency of holding an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, we are seeking an advisory vote on executive compensation every year until the next required stockholder vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation.

At the annual meeting of our stockholders held in April 2024, approximately 87.2% of the total stockholders' votes cast were voted in favor of the fiscal 2023 compensation of our named executive officers. The Compensation Committee has and will consider this result in future executive compensation decisions.

The Board recommends that the stockholders vote FOR the following resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the executive compensation tables and the related narrative."

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Company, the Board or the Compensation Committee. However, the Board values stockholders' opinions and the Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation decisions.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE COMPENSATION OF THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.
