Item 1.01.		Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 3, 2011, comScore, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “comScore”), entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with AdXpose, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AdXpose”), CS Ad Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of comScore (“Merger Sub”), Draper Associates, L.P., a California limited partnership, Draper Fisher Jurvetson Fund IX, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, Draper Fisher Jurvetson Partners IX, LLC, a California limited liability company, and Draper Fisher Jurvetson Fund IX, L.P., as Stockholder Representative. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), AdXpose will be merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub will continue as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of comScore (the “Merger”). The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of comScore and AdXpose, and approved by AdXpose’s stockholders. Closing of the Merger remains subject to customary closing conditions.

The aggregate purchase price to be paid by comScore for all of the outstanding equity securities of AdXpose is anticipated to be approximately $22 million of which approximately 90% will be paid with unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock, and the remainder to be paid in shares of comScore common stock pursuant to comScore’s 2007 Equity Incentive plan and cash. The number of shares of comScore common stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger will be calculated based the average closing sales price of comScore’s common stock as quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market for the five (5) consecutive trading days prior to the third (3^rd) trading day prior to the Closing Date.

Shares of comScore’s common stock representing an aggregate value of approximately $4 million upon Closing will be withheld from the consideration initially distributed to the AdXpose stockholders and will be deposited into an escrow fund as security for the indemnification obligations of AdXpose’s stockholders under the Merger Agreement as well as any amounts owed by the stockholders due to post-closing adjustments. Any escrowed amount not paid to comScore will be released to the AdXpose stockholders as follows: fifty percent (50%) on the one-year anniversary of the Closing and any remaining amount on the two-year anniversary of closing.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties made by and to the parties thereto as to specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information contained in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties exchanged in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, investors and comScore stockholders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances, since they were only made as of the date of the Merger Agreement and are modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in comScore’s public disclosures. In addition, certain representations and warranties may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to stockholders, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts. For the foregoing reasons, no person should rely on the representations and warranties as statements of factual information at the times they were made or otherwise.
