(e) Named Executive Officer Compensation
On January 30, 2008, the Compensation Committee (the Committee) of the Board of Directors of
comScore, Inc. (the Company), following a review of the Companys executive compensation program
in conjunction with its outside compensation consultant, approved a modification of restricted
stock agreements granted to Magid M. Abraham, Ph.D., the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Gian M.
Fulgoni, the Companys Executive Chairman, and John M. Green, the Companys Chief Financial Officer
(collectively, the Officers). Dr. Abrahams, Mr. Fulgonis and Mr. Greens restricted stock awards,
originally issued in March 2007 for 100,000 shares, 75,000 shares and 30,000 shares of the
Companys common stock, respectively, are subject to a right of repurchase that lapses over four
years based on time of service. Following the Committees approval of the modifications, the right
of repurchase for the Officers restricted stock grants also became subject to single trigger
acceleration, which results in the repurchase right fully lapsing upon the occurrence of a change
of control event. In general terms, the restricted stock agreement for each of the Officers defines a
change of control event as an acquisition of at least 50% of the voting control of the Company, a
sale or merger of the Company or the sale of substantially all the
assets of the Company. These amendments are consistent with the
change of control provisions of existing executive stock option
agreements for Dr. Abraham and Mr. Fulgoni, relating to prior option
grants that have vested in full according to their terms during
calendar year 2007.
