This prospectus relates to the offer and sale, from time to time, by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus (the “selling stockholders”) of up to 24,816,578 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (our “common stock”), consisting of:

•	250,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants (the “warrants”) issuable to the Starboard Stockholders (the “warrant shares”), with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, and subject to adjustment as provided in the warrants, which warrants we agreed to issue in the Starboard private placement (the foregoing, the “Starboard Transaction”); and

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Various statements contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical fact. We attempt, whenever possible, to identify these forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “intend,” “potential,” “continue,” “seek” or the negative of those words and other comparable words. Similarly, statements that describe our business strategy, goals, prospects, opportunities, outlook, objectives, plans or intentions are also forward-looking statements. These statements may relate to, but are not limited to, expectations of future operating results or financial performance, macroeconomic trends that we expect may influence our business, plans for financing and capital expenditures, expectations regarding liquidity and compliance with financing covenants, expectations regarding the introduction of new products, effects of restructuring actions, regulatory compliance and expected changes in the regulatory landscape affecting our business, planned remediation activities, expected impact of litigation, plans for growth and future operations, effects of acquisitions, divestitures and partnerships, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing.

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions regarding future events and business performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual events or results to be materially different from any future events or results expressed or implied by these statements. These factors include those set forth in the following discussions and elsewhere within this prospectus or incorporated by reference herein.

We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control and that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. You should carefully review the risk factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein. Except as required by applicable law, including the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise, other than through the filing of periodic reports in accordance with the Exchange Act. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

SUMMARY

The following summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, but does not contain all the information you may want in connection with making your investment decision. You should read carefully this entire prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus before making an investment decision, including the information under the heading “Risk Factors.”

Risk factors	You should read “Risk Factors” beginning on page 3, as well as other cautionary statements throughout or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision you should carefully read and consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including, without limitation, the information in the section entitled “Item 1A. – Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein. If any of the risks listed in the Form 10-K or any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the market price of our common stock offered by this prospectus could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” above for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this prospectus. Additional risks and uncertainties of which we are presently unaware or that we currently deem immaterial may also have a material adverse effect on our business.

The issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, the convertible notes and exercise of the warrants could substantially dilute your investment and could impede our ability to obtain additional financing.

The convertible notes are convertible into, and the warrants are exercisable for, shares of our common stock and give the holders an opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock such that conversion or exercise thereof will result in dilution of the equity interests of our stockholders. Further, the issuance of shares of our common stock, at our election, in lieu of cash, in payment of interest on the convertible notes, would result in dilution of the equity interests of our other stockholders. We have no control over whether the holders will exercise their right, in whole or in part, to convert their convertible notes or exercise their warrants. For these reasons, we are unable to forecast or predict with any certainty the total number of shares that may be issued under the convertible notes and warrants. The existence and potentially dilutive impact of the convertible notes and our warrants may prevent us from obtaining additional financing in the future on acceptable terms, or at all.

The terms of the convertible notes, the warrants and the registration right agreement could impede our ability to enter into certain transactions or obtain additional financing and could result in our paying premiums or penalties to the holders of the convertible notes and warrants.

The terms of the convertible notes and the warrants require us, upon the consummation of any “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the convertible notes), to cause any successor entity resulting from the Fundamental Transaction to assume all of our obligations under the convertible notes and the warrants and the associated transaction documents. Further, the terms of the convertible notes and the warrants could impede our ability to enter into certain transactions or obtain additional financing in the future.

The convertible notes and the warrants require us to deliver the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise within a specified time period. If we are unable to deliver the shares of common stock within the timeframe required, we may be obligated to reimburse the holders for the cost of purchasing the shares of our common stock in the open market or pay them the profit they would have realized upon the conversion or exercise and sale of such shares.

The Starboard registration rights agreement provides that in the event that (i) an initial registration or any subsequent registration statement fails to register the minimum number of shares of common stock required under the Starboard registration rights agreement (the “registration failure”), (ii) we do not file a registration statement required to be filed under the Starboard registration rights agreement within the prescribed time period, (iii) the SEC has not declared effective a registration statement required to be filed under the Starboard registration rights agreement within the prescribed time period, or (iv) a registration statement required to be filed under the Starboard registration rights agreement ceases to be effective and available to the selling stockholders party thereto under certain circumstances, we must pay to the selling stockholders party thereto on the 121^st day after the occurrence of each such event and on every 30th day thereafter until the applicable event is cured, an amount in cash equal to 1.0% of the Conversion Amount (as defined in the convertible notes), subject to a maximum of 3% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the convertible notes for any 30-day period.

The payments we may be obligated to make to the holders of the convertible notes and our warrants described above may adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

We may be obligated to redeem the convertible notes at a premium upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the convertible notes) or a Change of Control (as defined in the convertible notes).

If we fail to comply with the various covenants in the convertible notes, including the financial covenants contained therein, we could be in default thereunder. Upon an Event of Default under the convertible notes, we could be required to redeem the convertible notes at a premium as set out in the convertible notes. In addition, upon the occurrence of specific kinds of Change of Control events, we will be required to offer to redeem the convertible notes at a premium as set out in the convertible notes.

In either event, the source of funds for any such redemption would be our available cash or, possibly, other financing. We may not be able to redeem the convertible notes pursuant to the terms thereof because we may not have the financial resources to do so, and no assurances can be provided as to our ability to obtain other requisite financing in amounts, or at times, as may be needed. Our failure to repurchase the convertible notes upon a Change of Control in accordance with the terms thereof would also result in an Event of Default under the convertible notes. In the event the holders of the convertible notes exercised their rights thereunder and we were unable to redeem the convertible notes, it could have important consequences including, potentially, forcing us into bankruptcy or liquidation.

USE OF PROCEEDS

All sales of the common stock covered by this prospectus will be by or for the account of the selling stockholders listed under the caption “Selling Stockholders.” We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. We may, however, receive cash proceeds equal to the total exercise price of the warrants. The exercise price of the warrants is $0.01 per share. In the event that warrants to purchase all 250,000 warrant shares are exercised, we would receive gross proceeds of $2,500. We intend to use any such proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes. There can be no assurance that any warrants will be exercised.

The selling stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and any similar expenses they incur in disposing of the common stock registered hereunder. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred by us in effecting the registration of the common stock registered hereunder. These may include, without limitation, registration and filing fees, printing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and accountants.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The shares of common stock being offered by the Starboard Stockholders, are those issuable thereto pursuant to the terms and upon conversion of the convertible notes and upon exercise of the warrants issued in the Starboard Transaction. The shares of common stock being offered by the WPP Stockholders are shares that are presently outstanding and owned by them. The WPP Stockholders acquired these shares pursuant to a series of transactions with the Company and others beginning in 2015, as previously disclosed, and otherwise on the open market. We are registering the shares of common stock being offered hereby (1) pursuant to our obligations to do so incurred in connection with the issuance of the convertible notes and the warrants, (2) pursuant to our obligations to do so under the WPP stockholders rights agreement, and (3) in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the purchase from us of the convertible notes and the warrants pursuant to the Starboard purchase agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, and entry into and performance under that certain agreement made and entered into as of September 28, 2017 (as amended) by and among us and affiliates of the Starboard Stockholders as described in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 4, 2017 and April 20, 2018, the Starboard Stockholders and their affiliates have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years. Except as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2018, each of which is incorporated by reference herein, the WPP Stockholders and their affiliates have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

The table below identifies each of the selling stockholders and provides other information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of common stock as of July 18, 2018, assuming conversion of all convertible notes at the conversion price in effect as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this prospectus is initially filed with the SEC, the exercise of all warrants, and the payment of all interest in PIK Interest Shares, without regard to any limitations on the issuance of common stock pursuant to the terms of the notes or the warrants.

The third column lists the maximum number of shares of common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus by the selling stockholders.

The fourth column lists the shares of common stock to be held by each selling stockholder after completion of this offering, assuming conversion of all convertible notes at the conversion price in effect as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this prospectus is initially filed with the SEC, the sale of the shares of common stock underlying the convertible notes held by each of the selling stockholders on such date, including an estimate of all PIK Interest Shares which could be issued as interest on the convertible notes, based on the arithmetic average of the weighted average price of our common stock during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date this prospectus is initially filed with the SEC, and the exercise of all warrants and the sale of all shares underlying those warrants, in each case, without regard to any limitations on the issuance of common stock pursuant to the terms of the convertible notes or the warrants. The fifth column lists the percentage ownership of our common stock by each selling stockholder after completion of this offering, assuming that each selling stockholder sells all of the shares covered by this prospectus, to the extent such percentage will exceed 1% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.

The information presented regarding the selling stockholders is based, in part, on information the selling stockholders provided to us in writing specifically for use herein.

In accordance with the terms of the Starboard registration rights agreement and the WPP stockholders rights agreement, this prospectus generally covers the resale of at least the sum of (i) 130% of the maximum number of shares of common stock issued and issuable pursuant to the convertible notes, including PIK Interest Shares, as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this prospectus is initially filed with the SEC, (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock issued and issuable upon exercise of the related warrants as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this prospectus is initially filed with the SEC and (iii) the number of shares beneficially owned by the WPP Stockholders. Because the conversion price of the convertible notes may be adjusted, the Company may elect to pay interest on the convertible notes in cash rather than in PIK Interest Shares, and the interest rate on the convertible notes is subject to change, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus.

Under the terms of the convertible notes and the warrants, a selling stockholder that owns convertible notes or warrants may not convert the convertible notes or exercise the warrants to the extent such conversion or exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such conversion or exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the convertible notes which have not been converted and upon exercise of the warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the convertible notes and upon exercise of the warrants, as well as shares beneficially owned by the WPP Stockholders, to permit the resale of these shares from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of these shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares of common stock offered hereby.

The selling stockholders have advised us that they may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the selling stockholders sell shares of common stock through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for any underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The selling stockholders have advised us that the shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,


•	on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which our common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;


•	in the over-the-counter market;


•	in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the- counter market;


•	through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;


•	in ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;


•	in block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;


•	through purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;


•	through an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;


•	in underwritten public offerings;


•	through privately negotiated transactions;


•	through short sales;


•	through sales pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act;


•	through block trades in which broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;


•	through a combination of any such methods of sale; and


•	by any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock offered hereby to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker- dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock offered hereby or otherwise, the selling stockholders have advised us that they may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders have advised us that they may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders have advised us that they may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

The selling stockholders have advised us that they may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the convertible notes, warrants or shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and

donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock offered hereby may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

At the time a particular offering of shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the names of the selling stockholders, the aggregate amount of shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including, to the extent required, (1) the name or names of any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, (2) any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and (3) any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed to be paid to broker-dealers.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock being offered hereby may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock being offered hereby may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock being offered hereby by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock being offered hereby to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock incurred by us pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $236,366 in total, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreement, or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholders specifically for use in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, or we may be entitled to contribution.

Once sold under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following information describes our common stock and preferred stock, as well as certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws. This description is only a summary. You should also refer to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to our registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of 150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, all of which shares of preferred stock are undesignated. Our board of directors may establish the rights and preferences of the preferred stock from time to time. As of July 5, 2018, there were 57,893,453 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, held of record by 100 stockholders, although we believe that there may be a significantly larger number of beneficial owners of our common stock. We derived the number of stockholders by reviewing the listing of outstanding common stock recorded by our transfer agent as of July 5, 2018.

The following is a summary of the material provisions of the common stock and preferred stock provided for in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. For additional detail about our capital stock, please refer to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each as amended, each of which is incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Common Stock

Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders, and there are no cumulative rights. Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably the dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. If there is a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of our common stock would be entitled to share in our assets remaining after the payment of liabilities and any preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock.

Holders of our common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. The outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “SCOR.” The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC. Its address is 59 Maiden Lane, Plaza Level, New York, NY 10038, and its telephone number is (800) 937-5449.

Preferred Stock

Under the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors has the discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock. The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock of each series will be fixed by the certificate of designation relating to that series.

The issuance of preferred stock will affect, and may adversely affect, the rights of holders of common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock on the rights of holders of common stock until the board of directors determines the specific rights attached to that preferred stock. The effects of issuing preferred stock could include one or more of the following:


•	restricting dividends on the common stock;


•	diluting the voting power of the common stock;


•	impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; or


•	delaying or preventing changes in control or management of us.

We have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock nor are any shares of our preferred stock presently outstanding. Preferred stock will be fully paid and nonassessable upon issuance.

Effect of Certain Provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and the Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

Some provisions of Delaware law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult:


•	acquisition of us by means of a tender offer;


•	acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or


•	removal of our incumbent officers and directors.

These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to promote stability in our management. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors.

Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our bylaws provide for the following:

•

Undesignated Preferred Stock. The ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of comScore. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of us.


•	Stockholder Meetings. Our charter documents provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by resolution adopted by the board of directors, the chairman of the board of directors or the chief executive officer.


•	Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors.

•

Board Classification. Our board of directors is divided into three classes. The directors in each class serve for a three-year term, one class being elected each year by our stockholders. This system of electing and removing directors may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, because it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors.

•

Limits on Ability of Stockholders to Act by Written Consent. We have provided in our certificate of incorporation that our stockholders may not act by written consent. This limit on the ability of our stockholders to act by written consent may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder actions. As a result, a holder controlling a majority of our capital stock would not be able to amend our bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of our stockholders called in accordance with our bylaws.


•	Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The amendment of the above provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws requires approval by holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

We are subject to Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:


•	before such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

•

upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or


•	on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

In general, Section 203 defines business combination to include the following:


•	any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;


•	any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of either the assets or outstanding stock of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;


•	subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;


•	any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or


•	the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 defines interested stockholder as an entity or person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

Warrants

In connection with the entry into the Starboard purchase agreement, the Company agreed to issue the warrants to the Starboard Stockholders on the earlier of the closing of a rights offering as described therein and October 16, 2018. The warrants will entitle the holders thereof to purchase, on a one-for-one basis, shares of common stock at a price of $0.01 per share, and will be exercisable for five years from the date of issuance. The warrants are not subject to any anti-dilution protection, other than standard adjustments in the case of stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions. This prospectus registers the resale of 250,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Through February 8, 2017, our common stock was listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “SCOR.” As a result of our delay in filing our periodic reports with the SEC, we were unable to comply with the listing standards of Nasdaq and our stock was suspended from trading on Nasdaq on February 8, 2017, and delisted effective May 30, 2017. Following the suspension of trading, our common stock was quoted for trading on the OTC Pink Tier through June 1, 2018. Effective June 1, 2018, our common stock was relisted and began trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “SCOR”. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low sales prices and bid quotations of our common stock as reported by Nasdaq and the OTC Pink Tier, as applicable.

Dividend Policy

Since our inception, we have not declared or paid any cash dividends. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or DGCL, allows a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation will not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached the duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for this limitation of liability.

Section 145 of the DGCL, or Section 145, provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made, party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were or are a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, provided that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the director, officer, employee or agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a director or officer is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses which such director or officer has actually and reasonably incurred.

Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her under Section 145.

Our amended and restated bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and must also pay expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final

II-1

disposition upon delivery of an undertaking, by or on behalf of an indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain of our officers pursuant to which have agreed to indemnify such persons against certain expenses and liabilities incurred or paid by such person in connection with any proceeding arising from the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, and to advance expenses as incurred by or on behalf of such person in connection therewith.

The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

We maintain policies of insurance that provide coverage (1) to our directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and (2) to us with respect to indemnification payments that we may make to such directors and officers.

See “Item 17. Undertakings” for a description of the SEC’s position regarding such indemnification provisions.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

During the first quarter of 2015, comScore and WPP entered into a series of agreements whereby WPP would become a beneficial owner of a minimum of 15% of the Company's then outstanding common stock, the Company and WPP would form a strategic alliance for the development and delivery of cross-media audience measurement for certain areas outside of the U.S., comScore would purchase WPP’s Nordic Internet Audience Measurement business (collectively, the "WPP Capital Transactions") and WPP’s subsidiary, GroupM Worldwide, would enter into a five-year agreement, with minimum annual commitments.

On April 1, 2015, as part of the WPP Capital Transactions, the Company issued 6,043,683 shares of common stock to Cavendish Square, a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands and an affiliate of WPP. These shares were issued in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

During 2016, the Company issued 3,300 shares of restricted common stock in settlement of a previously issued restricted stock unit award, and the Company issued 35,000 restricted stock units as an equity award approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. These securities were issued to executive officers pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

On January 16, 2018, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into agreements with the Starboard Stockholders providing for: (i) the sale to the Starboard Stockholders of (A) $150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes, which notes are convertible into shares of our common stock and (B) the issuance to the Starboard Stockholders of warrants (the “warrants”) exercisable for 250,000 shares of our common stock (the “warrant shares”); and (ii) the grant to the Starboard Stockholders of an option (the “notes option”) to purchase up to an additional $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes (such convertible notes, the “option convertible notes”). On May 11, 2018, the Starboard Stockholders exercised the notes option, and on May 17, 2018 we issued to them $50.0 million of option convertible notes. As a result, as of the date hereof, there are outstanding $200.0 million of convertible notes.

Pursuant to such agreements, the Company agreed to issue to the Starboard Stockholders on or, in certain cases prior to, October 16, 2018 the warrants. The warrants will entitle the holders thereof to purchase, on a one-for-one basis, shares of common stock at a price of $0.01 per share, and will be exercisable for five years from the date of issuance. The warrants will not be subject to any anti-dilution protection, other than standard adjustments in the case of stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions.

The securities offered and sold in this private placement were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

On June 7, 2018, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”) entered separate orders granting final approval of (i) the settlement of the consolidated securities class action captioned Fresno County Employees’ Retirement Association et al. v. comScore, Inc. et al., No. 1:16-cv-01820-JGK (S.D.N.Y.) (the “Class Action”) and (ii) the settlement of the derivative actions captioned In re comScore, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation, No. 1:16-cv-09855-JGK (S.D.N.Y.), In re comScore, Inc. Virginia Shareholder Derivative Litigation, No. CL-2016-0009465 (Va. Cir. Ct., Fairfax Cnty.) and Assad v. Fulgoni, et al., No. CL-2017-0005503 (Va. Cir. Ct., Fairfax Cnty.) (collectively, the “Derivative Actions”).

Pursuant to the terms of the settlements, on June 21, 2018 we issued (i) 3,669,444 shares of common stock to a settlement fund for the benefit of authorized claimants in the Class Action and (ii) 354,671 shares of common stock to plaintiffs’ lead counsel in the Derivative Actions as payment of attorneys’ fees.

In accordance with the orders entered by the Court, these shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act, in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act.

(b) Financial Statement Schedule

II-7

No financial schedules are provided because the information either is not required or is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto incorporated by reference herein.

Item 17. Undertakings

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(5) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

II-8

(6) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

II-9
