STEVENSON, Md., Oct. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The securities
litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation,
has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary
duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of
Rentrak Corporation (NasdaqGS: RENT) ("Rentrak" or the "Company")
relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by comScore,
Inc.
Under the terms of the transaction, Rentrak shareholders are
anticipated to receive 1.15 shares comScore for each share of
Rentrak they own. Based on comScore's closing price
on September 28, 2015, Rentrak shareholders would have
received compensation valued at approximately $49.62 per
share. According to Yahoo! Finance, at least one Wall
Street analyst has issued a price target for Rentrak stock at
$100.00 per share.
The firm's investigation seeks to determine, among other things,
whether the Company's Board of Directors failed to satisfy their
duties to shareholders, including whether the Board adequately
pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the Board
obtained the best price possible for the Company's shares of common
stock.

the proposed buyout price is too low, or you would like to learn
