Item 8.01          Other Events

On December 16, 2011, Texas NICUSA, LLC (“Texas NICUSA”), a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of NIC Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an agreement with the State of Texas following agency approval to implement RSA 2.0, an integrated suite of services for the Texas Department of Public Safety (“DPS”). RSA 2.0 is intended to consolidate the current business processes and supporting applications for DPS’s Regulatory Services Division into a single suite of online services at http://www.Texas.gov and http://www.txdps.state.tx.us. The term of the agreement runs through August 31, 2016, and calls for a phased-in delivery beginning with motor vehicle inspection-related services, scheduled to be launched by September 1, 2012. Other services included in RSA 2.0 consist of private security regulation, metals recycling regulation, controlled substance regulation, concealed handgun regulation, ignition interlock program, Capitol access pass, criminal history records, and salvage regulation. Texas NICUSA will provide these services under a self-funded, transaction-based business model.

The Company currently expects to begin generating revenue from the agreement in September 2012, with fiscal 2012 revenues estimated to range from $2.5 million to $3.0 million. Total revenues over the life of the agreement are currently expected to range from $30 million to $35 million. However, the Company currently expects the agreement will be dilutive to the Company’s consolidated earnings in fiscal year 2012, with an estimated pre-tax operating loss from the agreement to range from $1.5 million to $2.0 million. The agreement will require a significant investment by Texas NICUSA to rebuild and consolidate RSA’s current applications. Capital expenditures in 2012 are currently estimated to range from $8.0 million to $8.5 million, primarily for new hardware at certain motor vehicle inspection stations.

The Company will host a conference call, which will also be available by webcast, to discuss its fourth quarter and fiscal 2011 financial results and its fiscal 2012 financial outlook at 4:30 p.m. EST on February 2, 2012.

The information in this Item 8.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth in such filing.
