Gareth Chang is a welcome addition to the comScore Board of Directors that we expect will bring a

We are most grateful for the many contributions of Bruce Golden, who will be departing our board
of directors following nearly 10 years of dedicated service, said Gian Fulgoni, comScores
Executive Chairman. Bruce was one of our early venture capital investors, and his expertise in
early-stage companies has been instrumental in guiding comScores success over our first decade of
existence. We owe Bruce and Accel Partners a sincere debt of gratitude for their many contributions
and thank them for the thoughtful advice and counsel that has helped comScore grow from a start up
into a global leader in measuring the digital world.
