Item 8.01. Other Event.
On February 17, 2016, comScore, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that its board of directors had approved the repurchase of up to $125 million of the Company’s common stock. Such repurchases may be made from time to time subject to pre-determined price and volume guidelines established by the Company’s board of directors.
As part of the share repurchase program, shares may be purchased in open market transactions or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined at the Company’s discretion, and the share repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares, and all open market repurchases will be made in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 10b-18, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of open market stock repurchases.
