CARE ANNOUNCES DECISION NOT TO POST BOND
Portland, Oregon, September 15, 2000 - The Committee for the
Achievement of Rentrak Excellence ("CARE") announced today that it has decided
not to post a $1.5 million bond imposed as a condition to a preliminary
injunction against Rentrak Corporation (Nasdaq:RENT) ordered in August 2000. As
a result of CARE's decision, the approximately 1.66 million shares of common
stock of Rentrak Corporation acquired by its two top executive officers in June
2000 pursuant to the company's newly adopted option loan program will be
permitted to be voted at the annual meeting of shareholders on September 19,
2000. CARE's spokesperson, Paul Rosenbaum, stated, "We see no reason to incur
the expense associated with posting the bond required to obtain an injunction.
We are looking forward to the conclusion of the proxy contest next Tuesday."
Shareholders of Rentrak Corporation may obtain information regarding
the participants involved in CARE's proxy solicitation, including a description
of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, in
CARE's Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Shareholders should read CARE's Proxy Statement because it contains important
information. CARE's Proxy Statement and other relevant documents are available
for free on the Commission's Web site at http://www.sec.gov.
