Overview

On September 24, 2019, the Commission issued separate, but related orders (the “Orders”) instituting and simultaneously settling cease-and-desist proceedings against the Respondents.  In the Orders, the Commission found that, from February 2014 through February 2018, at the direction and oversight of its former Chief Executive Officer, Matta, Comscore’s public filings materially overstated revenue by approximately $43 million as result of a fraudulent scheme and improper accounting involving the manipulation of non-monetary and monetary contracts. Comscore’s and Matta’s actions enabled the company to artificially exceed its analysts’ consensus revenue targets in seven consecutive quarters. In addition, from April 2014 through February 2016, Comscore and Matta made false and misleading statements about two important performance metrics. As a result of the conduct described its Orders, the Commission found that Comscore and Matta violated the federal securities laws. In their respective Orders, the Commission ordered Comscore and Matta, to pay $5,000,000 and $700,000 in civil money penalties, respectively, to the Commission.

In each of the Orders, the Commission created a fair fund, pursuant to Section 308(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, so the penalties collected can be distributed to harmed investors. On April 27, 2023, the Commission issued an Order Consolidating Fair Funds to consolidate the two fair funds into a single fair fund (the “Comscore Fair Fund” or “Fair Fund”). The Respondents have paid in full, and the $5,700,000 paid by Respondents has been combined and comprises the Fair Fund.

On December 27, 2023, the Commission appointed JND Legal Administration as the fund administrator for the Fair Fund (the “Fund Administrator”). The Fund Administrator is responsible for administering the Fair Fund in accordance with the Plan.
