Turtle Beach counters Immersion's board proposal, offers one seat; proxy fight looms
Turtle Beach Corp
- Immersion (IMMR) owns 7% of HEAR and proposed reducing board to 6 with 2 Immersion designees.
- Turtle Beach counter-proposal: appoint one Immersion nominee, reduce board to 7, two directors step down soon, one more within a year.
- Turtle Beach extended nomination deadline and held a meeting with Immersion on April 1, 2023 to discuss plans.
- Immersion filed a Schedule 13D amendment on April 3, mischaracterized the meeting, and stated intent to nominate candidates for a proxy contest.
- Turtle Beach states it is willing to engage but believes giving a 7% holder one-third of board seats is unacceptable to other shareholders.
