180 Degree Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: TURN) (“180 Degree Capital”) today noted the filing of a proxy statement by comScore, Inc. (“SCOR”) that includes Matthew F. McLaughlin as a nominee for election to SCOR’s Board of Directors at its upcoming 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). In conjunction with this filing, 180 Degree Capital formally withdrew its nomination of Mr. McLaughlin as well as its proposal to declassify SCOR’s Board of Directors.

“Once again, we commend SCOR’s Board for reaching this conclusion and avoiding the need for a competitive proxy contest,” said Kevin M. Rendino, Chief Executive Officer of 180 Degree Capital. “We believe Matt will have a meaningful impact on value creation for all stakeholders at SCOR. We encourage SCOR to find ways to allow Matt to start making an impact even before the Annual Meeting as there are no shortage of areas where we think he can provide immediate value. Since the current capital structure was put in place in March 2021, and despite meaningful improvements in the business, SCOR’s stock price is down 75%. We ask the Board, as mentioned in our prior release and past letters, to immediately take actions to address these outstanding impediments to value creation including SCOR’s capital structure, the company’s data license contract with its preferred stockholder, Charter Communications, and supporting management’s efforts to run SCOR’s business in a more efficient, profitable manner than it has in its history. The time for action is now.”

“We would also like to extend our appreciation to Matt for his interest in working with us on this effort to seek change in SCOR’s corporate governance,” added Daniel B. Wolfe, President of 180 Degree Capital. “With this filing by SCOR, we have now disbanded our “group” for reporting purposes and look forward to interacting with Matt in his role as a member of SCOR’s Board in addition to our status as fellow stockholders of SCOR.”
