Key Points

  • Comscore issued one-time inducement grants totaling 90,000 RSUs and options to a new employee.
  • The RSUs vest over two to four years with conditions tied to employment and company events like change in control.
  • Grants are in compliance with Nasdaq rules designed for incentivizing new hires under limited circumstances.

RESTON, Va., Aug. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4), Comscore, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOR) reported employment inducement grants made to Aaron Doades, who joined the company as an employee on August 10, 2026.

On August 20, 2026, Mr. Doades received one-time grants of (i) 30,000 restricted stock units with respect to Comscore common stock (RSUs), vesting on the second anniversary of the grant date; (ii) an additional 30,000 RSUs, vesting in equal annual installments over four years from the grant date, with settlement of vested RSUs deferred until the earlier of a separation from service or a change in control of the company; and (iii) non-qualified options to purchase 30,000 shares of Comscore common stock, with a per-share exercise price of $5.10, vesting in equal annual installments over four years from the grant date, subject in each case to continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

The RSUs and options were granted pursuant to Comscore’s Employment Inducement Plan and are intended to qualify as “inducement awards,” available solely to new employees under limited circumstances, within the meaning of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).


Risks

  • Employee retention risk exists as vesting depends on continued employment over several years.
  • Stock price volatility may impact the value of options and RSUs granted.
  • Potential dilution to existing shareholders from new options and RSUs if exercised or vested.
