WESTBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Kopin Corporation (NASDAQ:KOPN), a leading developer of innovative wearable computing technologies and solutions, announced the filing on March 23, 2017 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 24, 2016 and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2016.
Following these filings, the Company is now current with all of its SEC filings and has been informed by the Nasdaq Stock Market that Kopin has regained compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirement relating to SEC filing obligations.
As previously disclosed, the Company discovered embezzlement activities at its Korean subsidiary.

The Company is undertaking steps to recover some or all of this amount, including restitution from the former employee, the former employee’s family and a claim on insurance Kopin carries against employee fraud.
