Dear [NAME / INSERT GREETING],

I hope you, your team and your families are staying safe and healthy. Today is an important milestone for NIC and I wanted to share the news with you personally. At NIC, we’ve entered 2021 with strong momentum and have some important news to share. NIC has agreed to be acquired by Tyler Technologies. We are excited about the opportunities ahead as we join forces with a company that shares our focus on continuous innovation, a mutual belief that culture drives success and a shared passion for making government better, stronger, and safer.

Tyler provides essential back-office, mission-critical software systems and integrated technology services to local, state, and federal government agencies, including public administration, courts and public safety, health and human services, and K-12 education.

Tyler’s strength in local government and NIC’s strength in state government are highly complementary. We are confident this transaction will bring exciting opportunities for all of NIC’s stakeholders, including our valued suppliers. As a combined company, we will be better able to connect data and processes across disparate systems and deliver the leading products and services our partners and communities have come to expect.

In terms of next steps, the transaction is expected to close in the second quarter. Until then, we will operate as independent companies and work with you like we always have. Our focus remains on providing exceptional support and services to our partners and communities.

We expect the transition to be seamless for you and your day-to-day business contacts should remain the same for the foreseeable future. As always, we will seek to keep you updated throughout the process. If you have any questions, please contact [me / your usual NIC contact].

On behalf of all of us at NIC, thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

NAME
