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.
