Item 8.01. Other Events

comScore, Inc. (the “Company”) recently became aware of an inadvertent error in the first table appearing on page 19 of the Company’s 2012 Proxy Statement filed June 20, 2012 in the section titled “Executive Compensation- Compensation Discussion and Analysis- Components of our Executive Compensation Program- Equity-Based Compensation- 2011 Executive Incentive Compensation Policy- Determination of Awards to Dr. Abraham and Messrs. Tarpey and Fulgoni,” which table describes the factors considered under the Company’s 2011 Executive Compensation Policy for each of Magid M. Abraham, Kenneth J. Tarpey and Gian M. Fulgoni (the “Milestone Table”). The data regarding the minimum, target and maximum milestone amounts included in the first two rows of the Milestone Table titled “Milestones for 2011 earnings before interest taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA” and “Milestones for 2011 revenue” were inadvertently transposed, such that the 2011 Adjusted EBITDA milestone amounts were included in the row for 2011 revenue and vice versa. The same inadvertent errors were also included in the Milestone Table that similarly appeared on page 14 of Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2011, originally filed on April 27, 2012, in the section titled “Item 11. Executive Compensation- Compensation Discussion and Analysis- Components of our Executive Compensation Program- Equity-Based Compensation- 2011 Executive Incentive Compensation Policy- Determination of Awards to Dr. Abraham and Messrs. Tarpey and Fulgoni.”

The table below represents the corrected Milestone Table, and the sole changes to the Milestone Table as previously disclosed are to correct the transposition of the milestone amounts in those two rows. Except as described in the foregoing, no other changes have been made to the Milestone Table as previously disclosed. This supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2012 Proxy Statement and Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2011.
