Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein is financial information for comScore, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 as well as forward-looking statements relating to the second quarter ending June 30, 2015 and full year ending December 31, 2015 as presented in a press release issued on May 5, 2015.
The information in this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
Item 8.01. Other Event.
On May 4, 2015, the Company’s board of directors approved the increase of the Company’s common stock repurchase program to a total of $150 million, subject to approval by the lenders of the Company’s revolving credit facility. 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 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.
Forward Looking Statements
This Item 8.01 contains forward-looking statements about the Company’s common stock repurchase program, including the maximum dollar amount of common stock that may be purchased under the program and how the Company may effect the repurchases. The statements are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections, are not guarantees of future performance, and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control and are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to, potential changes in the market price of the Company’s common stock and changes in the Company’s operating results, financial condition and cash requirements.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 8-K are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2014 and from time to time other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are available on the SEC’s Web site ( http://www.sec.gov ).
Stockholders of the Company are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statements are made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or new information after the date of this filing, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
