Acquisition expected to enhance technology offering for Appraisal & Tax solution

DALLAS — (BUSINESS WIRE) — January 17, 2012 — Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) today announced that it has acquired substantially all of the assets of Akanda Innovation, Inc. of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This acquisition is the logical next step in continuing a partnership that has been in place since 1997, when Akanda began working with Tyler’s Appraisal & Tax Division developing complementary modules to Tyler’s iasWorld^® appraisal and tax software.

The Akanda team will continue to provide expertise from a wide variety of technical disciplines, including geographic information system (GIS), browser-based and workflow technologies. The assimilation of Akanda’s staff of approximately 17 professionals into Tyler Technologies is expected to occur seamlessly and without disruption of ongoing implementation projects.

“We are excited about bringing Akanda into the Tyler organization,” said Andrew D. Teed, president of Tyler’s Appraisal & Tax Division. “This acquisition will streamline and improve implementation, support and development processes between our organizations. One of the hallmarks for Tyler Technologies is excellent customer service, and this agreement continues our commitment to providing the best service possible to our clients.”

This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are not historical in nature and typically address future or anticipated events, trends, expectations or beliefs with respect to our financial condition, results of operations or business. Forward-looking statements often contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “foresees,” “forecasts,” “estimates,” “plans,” “intends,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “projects,” “might,” “could” or other similar words or phrases. Similarly, statements that describe our business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals also are forward-looking statements. We believe there is a reasonable basis for our forward-looking statements, but they are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results could differ materially from the expectations and beliefs reflected in the forward-looking statements. We presently consider the following to be among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and beliefs: (1) changes in the budgets or regulatory environments of our customers, primarily local and state governments, that could negatively impact information technology spending; (2) our ability to achieve our financial forecasts due to various factors, including project delays by our customers, reductions in transaction size, fewer transactions, delays in delivery of new products or releases or a decline in our renewal rates for service agreements; (3) economic, political and market conditions, including the recent global economic and financial crisis, and the general tightening of access to debt or equity capital; (4) technological and market risks associated with the development of new products or services or of new versions of existing or acquired products or services; (5) our ability to successfully complete acquisitions and achieve growth or operational synergies through the integration of acquired businesses, while avoiding unanticipated costs and disruptions to existing operations; (6) competition in the industry in which we conduct business and the impact of competition on pricing, customer retention and pressure for new products or services; (7) the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and dealing with the loss or retirement of key members of management or other key personnel; and (8) costs of compliance and any failure to comply with government and stock exchange regulations. A detailed discussion of these factors and other risks that affect our business are described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the detailed “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. We expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise our forward-looking statements.
