Item 2.01.

On January 29, 2016, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of September 29, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among comScore, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“comScore”), Rum Acquisition Corporation, an Oregon corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of comScore (“Merger Sub”), and Rentrak Corporation, an Oregon corporation (“Rentrak”), Merger Sub merged with and into Rentrak (the “Merger”) with Rentrak surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of comScore.

As a result of the Merger, each share of the common stock of Rentrak (the “Rentrak Common Stock”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) was converted into the right to receive 1.15 shares of the common stock of comScore (the “comScore Common Stock”). No fractional shares of comScore Common Stock will be issued in the Merger, and holders of shares of Rentrak Common Stock will receive cash in lieu of any such fractional shares.

The issuance of comScore Common Stock in connection with the Merger, as described above, was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to comScore’s registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-207714), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and declared effective on December 23, 2015 (the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”).
