On September 20, 2000, Rentrak Corporation ("Rentrak") announced the preliminary

the Board of Directors of Rentrak, thereby replacing the incumbent Board of
Directors. Rentrak's new Board of Directors consists of Cecil D. Andrus, George

The members of CARE were Michael J. Annechino, Mark A. Brown, Thomas S. Cousins,
