Exhibit A

(Proposal)





PROPOSAL

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of comScore, Inc. (the "Company") hereby request that the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") take all necessary steps to declassify the Board so that commencing at the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, directors are elected on an annual basis. Such declassification shall be completed in a manner that does not affect the unexpired terms of the previously elected directors.

SUPPORTING STATEMENT

180 Degree believes the annual election of all directors encourages board accountability to stockholders, which fosters improved performance and value creation. This view is shared by many, if not the overwhelming majority of, proxy advisory firms, institutional investors and other stockholders. This helps explain why, according to FactSet, as of November 2023, approximately 89% of the S&P 500 and 75% of the S&P 1,500 have annually elected boards.

Although this proposal is non-binding in nature, 180 Degree believes it will serve as a referendum for stockholders to demonstrate their strong dissatisfaction with the Company’s choice of maintaining a staggered Board and encourage the Company to take responsibility for improving its corporate governance regimen.

A classified Board is not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. It reduces accountability and is an unnecessary entrenchment device. Stockholders should have the opportunity to annually evaluate and replace ineffective and underperforming directors to keep the Board focused on performance and maximizing stockholder value.

180 Degree is committed to enhancing the Company’s corporate governance for the benefit of all stockholders. This proposal to declassify the Board aims to encourage the Board to take positive steps towards the implementation of good governance and productive stockholder engagement, which will allow the Company to achieve its optimal valuation and unlock value for stockholders.
