Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Such statements include statements concerning anticipated future events and expectations that are not historical facts.  All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “target,” “estimate,” “continue,” “positions,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “goal,” “objective,” “prospects,” “possible” or “potential,” by future conditional verbs such as “assume,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could” or “may,” or by variations of such words or by similar expressions or the negative thereof.  Actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements based on a number of factors, including, without limitation: (1) risks related to the consummation of NIC’s proposed merger with Tyler Technologies, including the risks that (a) the proposed merger may not be consummated within the anticipated time period, or at all, (b) the parties may fail to obtain NIC stockholder approval of the proposed merger, (c) the parties may fail to secure the termination or expiration of any waiting period applicable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and (d) other conditions to the consummation of the proposed merger under the merger agreement may not be satisfied; (2) the effects that any termination of the merger agreement may have on Tyler Technologies or NIC or their respective businesses, including the risks that Tyler Technologies’ or NIC’s stock price may decline significantly if the proposed merger is not completed; (3) the effects that the announcement or pendency of the merger may have on Tyler Technologies or NIC and their respective business, including the risks that as a result (a) NIC’s business, operating results or stock price may suffer, (b) NIC’s current plans and operations may be disrupted, (c) NIC’s ability to retain or recruit key employees may be adversely affected, (d) NIC’s business relationships (including, customers and suppliers) may be adversely affected, or (e) NIC’s management’s or employees’ attention may be diverted from other important matters; (4) the effect of limitations that the merger agreement places on NIC’s ability to operate its business, return capital to stockholders or engage in alternative transactions; (5) the nature, cost and outcome of pending and future litigation and other legal proceedings, including any such proceedings related to the merger and instituted against NIC and others; (6) the risk that the proposed merger and related transactions may involve unexpected costs, liabilities or delays; (7) other economic, business, competitive, legal, regulatory, and/or tax factors; and (8) other factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of NIC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as updated or supplemented by subsequent reports that NIC has filed or files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Potential investors, stockholders and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. Neither Tyler nor NIC assumes any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement after it is made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
