Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP Commences Class Action Lawsuit on Behalf of Immersion Corporation Investors

The case name is styled Buell v. Victor Viegas, et al. The civil action number is 09 cv 4561. A copy of the complaint filed in this action is available from the Court, or can be viewed on the Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP website at www.whafh.com.

The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, the Defendants knowing concealed material information from the investing public. Defendants knew that that Company's revenue recognition practices for the Medical line of business failed to comply with GAAP. Defendants also knew that Immersion's reported revenue and earnings were materially overstated, as a result of improper accounting practices.

The Company's stock was greatly inflated by the false statements and misleading financial reports prepared by the Defendants.

On July 1, 2009, the Company issued a press release entitled "Immersion Corporation Announces Internal Investigation." The market reacted quickly and decidedly negatively to the news, the Company's stock spiraled down over 23% from its previous closing price of $4.94 per share to a closing price of $3.80 per share on July 1, 2009, on a volume of 1.5 million shares.

In ignorance of the false and misleading nature of the statements described in the complaint, and the deceptive and manipulative devices and contrivances employed by said defendants, plaintiff and the other members of the Class relied, to their detriment, on the integrity of the market price of Immersion common stock. Had plaintiff and the other members of the Class known the truth, they would not have purchased Immersion securities at the inflated prices that were paid.

If you purchased Immersion common stock, you may request that the Court appoints you as lead plaintiff no later than November 2, 2009. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as "lead plaintiff." Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Wolf Haldenstein, or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.
