Dear Fellow Stockholder:
As Asure’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders approaches on August 28, 2009, you have the opportunity to support the Asure team that has delivered for stockholders.
Working together, Asure’s current Board of Directors and Management team have ensured Asure’s continued success and implemented Asure’s clear strategy, which focuses on achieving growth in revenue and profitability while improving efficiency of resources.
VOTE today using the WHITE card FOR Asure’s continued success
or call to cast your VOTE today at 800-248-7558.
You’ve recently received a Stockholders Information Packet containing important documents regarding the upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Within the packet is a WHITE proxy card as well as instructions and more information regarding the vote. Because Asure’s continued success and growth are important to your investment, we urge you to VOTE by signing and mailing the WHITE proxy card today. Please remember that only your latest dated proxy card counts.
The current Board of Directors has completely transformed Asure in the
past six years
- and its growth strategy is working.
Your current Board of Directors and Management team have been completely transparent about their ambitious, long-term growth plan for the Company. More importantly, it is clear to us that
1
this strategy is working. Since 2007, Asure’s board has worked to increase revenue by more than 150%, improve margins, and operate more efficiently by reducing our workforce by 51%. We strongly urge you to show your support for the Board by promptly returning the WHITE proxy card sent to you by the Company and voting FOR each of the Board’s director nominees — Richard J. Agnich, Nancy L. Harris, Lou Mazzucchelli, Ray R. Miles, Richard N. Snyder and James H. Wells — and in favor of the other proposals listed on the card.
On behalf of Asure’s Board of Directors, thank you for your continued support and interest in Asure Software.
Sincerely,
Nancy L. Harris
President, Chief Executive Officer and Director
The facts speak for themselves.
In the past six years, the current Board of Directors and Management team have successfully integrated two acquisitions — NetSimplicity and iEmployee — that serve high-growth, high-margin markets. During this transformation, we have also reduced the Company’s expenses by 93% and, despite the recent harsh macroeconomic environment, we have reported solid financial and operational results in recent quarters.
Revenue has grown from $3M to $7.6M in 2009*.
Margins have improved from 76% to 80% in 2009*.
Our workforce has decreased from 190 in 2007 to 97 today.
*For the 9 months ending 4/30/07 and 4/30/09 respectively
2
Our vision is unchanged: Asure’s current leadership has put the company on track to be the leading provider of on-demand workforce management software solutions to the small and mid-sized business market.
The choice is clear: VOTE with the WHITE proxy card today FOR Asure’s current leadership and ensure the Company’s long-term, continued success.
Important Information:
Asure, its directors, and certain of its officers and other employees are participants in the solicitation of proxies from Asure’s stockholders in connection with Asure’s 2009 Annual Meeting on August 28, 2009.
