Item 8.01 Other Events.
     On or about March 26, 2010, Tyler Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) furnished or otherwise made available to stockholders its Proxy Statement describing the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at the Park City Club, 5956 Sherry Lane, Suite 1700, on Thursday, May 13, 2010 at 9:30 a.m., local time.
     At the Annual Meeting, stockholders are being asked, among other things, to vote on a proposal to adopt the Tyler Technologies, Inc. 2010 Stock Option Plan (the “2010 Stock Option Plan”) (identified as Proposal Two in the Proxy Statement).
     Following the Company’s review of the recently published analysis of this proposal by a leading proxy advisory firm and in order to facilitate stockholder approval of the 2010 Stock Option Plan, the Company’s Board of Directors has agreed, in consultation with the proxy advisory firm, that, if the 2010 Stock Option Plan is approved by stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the Board will approve, immediately following the Annual Meeting, an amendment to the 2010 Stock Option Plan that will provide for certain prohibitions on repricings of options issued under the 2010 Stock Option Plan. Specifically, the amendment would amend Section 9(f) of the 2010 Stock Option Plan by deleting Section 9(f) in its entirety and replacing in lieu thereof the following:
     “(f) Modification, Extension And Renewal of Options . The Committee shall have the power to modify, cancel, extend or renew outstanding Options and to authorize the grant of new Options in substitution therefor; provided, however, that (except as permitted by Section 10 of this Plan) any such action may not reprice any outstanding Option, directly or indirectly, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company or, without the written consent of any affected Optionee, (i) impair any rights under any Option previously granted to such Optionee or (ii) cause the Option or the Plan to become subject to Section 409A of the Code and, provided further, that without the approval of the stockholders of the Company outstanding Options may not be cancelled in exchange for cash, Options or other stock awards with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Options. Any outstanding Incentive Stock Option that is modified, extended, renewed or otherwise altered will be treated in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code.”
