Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 16, 2018, comScore, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 16, 2018, with certain funds affiliated with or managed by Starboard Value LP (collectively, the “Buyers”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to issue to the Buyers warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable for 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”). On October 12, 2018, the Company issued the Warrants to the Buyers pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The Warrants 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 are 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 the like.
The foregoing description of the Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form of Warrant, which was filed as Exhibit 4.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 16, 2018, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
The issuance of the Warrants was, and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants will be, exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under, the Securities Act. The sale of such securities to the Buyers was made through a private offering, and the Buyers represented in writing that they were accredited investors and acquired the securities for their own accounts for investment purposes.
