This amendment No. 1 relates to the Schedule 13D filed by Cavendish Square Holding B.V., a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands (“Cavendish”), and WPP plc, a corporation formed under the laws of Jersey (collectively, the “Reporting Persons” and each a “Reporting Person”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2015, as amended (the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of comScore, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Unless set forth below, all Items are unchanged from the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

“On September 29, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rum Acquisition Corporation, an Oregon corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Rentrak Corporation, an Oregon corporation (“Rentrak”), pursuant to which, at the effective time of the Merger (as defined below), Merger Sub will merge with and into Rentrak, with Rentrak surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Cavendish entered into a Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with Rentrak, pursuant to which Cavendish agreed to vote the shares of Common Stock (“Shares”) that it beneficially owns at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (or to consent in connection with any written consent of stockholders of the Company) as follows: (a) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and any action reasonably requested by Rentrak in furtherance thereof, (b) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in (i) a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement or (ii) the conditions set forth in Section 2.2 of the Merger Agreement not being satisfied as required by the agreement, (c) against alternative acquisition or transaction proposal that is not offered by comScore and (d) against any other action, agreement or transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, adversely affect or prevent the consummation of the Merger or the other material transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Support Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Merger Agreement or by Cavendish of its obligations under the Support Agreement. Any additional Company securities that Cavendish acquires or any Company securities issued or issuable to Cavendish upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of all securities held by Cavendish that are convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock (“New Shares”) will also be subject to the terms of the Support Agreement. The Support Agreement also restricts Cavendish from selling or otherwise transferring Shares or New Shares prior to the termination of the Support Agreement. The Support Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest of (a) the receipt of requisite stockholder approval for the Merger Agreement and (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.”
