ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is a part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, the selling stockholder may from time to time sell the shares of common stock described in this prospectus in one or more offerings.

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and, if applicable, any accompanying prospectus supplement. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with additional or different information, and we take no responsibility for any other information others may give you.

This document may only be used where it is legal to sell these securities. You should assume that the information in this prospectus and, if applicable, any prospectus supplement is accurate only as of the date on the front of the document and that any information we have incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus and, if applicable, any prospectus supplement or of any sale of our common stock.

We urge you to read carefully this prospectus, together with the information incorporated herein by reference as described under the heading “Incorporation of Documents By Reference,” before deciding whether to invest in the common stock being offered.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Asure” and “our company” refer to Asure Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated from time to time by our subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporated herein by reference, together with the information in this prospectus and any other information incorporated by reference into this prospectus. See the sections of this prospectus entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Documents by Reference.” Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The occurrence of any of these known or unknown risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.

As a result, any or all of our forward-looking statements in this prospectus and in the documents that are incorporated by reference herein may turn out to be inaccurate. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, those listed under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and in the documents that are incorporated by reference herein and therein. Potential investors are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available in the future. You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the SEC after the date of this prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Documents by Reference.”

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus may contain market data that we obtain from industry sources. These sources do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information. Although we believe that our industry sources are reliable, we do not independently verify the information. The market data may include projections that are based on a number of other projections. While we believe these assumptions to be reasonable and sound as of the date of this prospectus, actual results may differ from the projections.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of any shares common stock offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder will receive all of the proceeds from the sale.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

On May 25, 2017, we entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”) with iSystems Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and iSystems Intermediate Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“iSystems”), pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of iSystems for an aggregate purchase price of $55,000,000, subject to adjustment. The aggregate purchase price included the issuance of 1,526,332 shares of our common stock valued at $18,000,000 based on a volume-weighted average of the closing prices of our common stock during a 90-day period.

In connection with the iSystems acquisition, we also entered into an investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with the Seller. Under the Investor Rights Agreement, holders of the registrable securities have certain demand registration rights and piggyback registration rights.  On January 31, 2018, the holders exercised their demand registration rights. In addition, under the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, such holders have the right to nominate one director to our board of directors until the first date that the holders of the registrable securities no longer hold more than the lesser of (x) 5% of our outstanding common stock (as equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, reorganizations, exchanges, merger, recapitalizations or similar transaction after the date hereof) and (y) 90% of the shares of our common stock held by such holders as of May 25, 2017. The director nominee initially appointed by the holders is Daniel Gill and our board appointed him to serve as a director on June 6, 2017.  Mr. Gill is a founder and a co-managing partner of Silver Oak Services Partners, LLC.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock held by the selling stockholder based in part on information provided to us by or on behalf of the selling stockholder. The number of shares in the column “Maximum Number of Shares That May Be Offered and Sold” represents all of the shares that the selling stockholder may offer under this prospectus. Beneficial ownership is based on 12,584,036 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of March 27, 2018. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table, to our knowledge, the stockholder identified in the table has sole voting and investment power with regard to the shares beneficially owned. To our knowledge, the selling stockholder is not a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.

We do not know whether, when or in what amounts the selling stockholder may sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of common stock covered hereby. The selling stockholder might not sell or dispose of any or all of the shares covered by this prospectus or may sell or dispose of some or all of the shares other than pursuant to this prospectus. Because the selling stockholder may not sell or otherwise dispose of some or all of the shares covered by this prospectus and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale or other disposition of any of the shares, we cannot estimate the number of the shares that will be held by the selling stockholder after completion of the offering. However, for purposes of this table, we have assumed that all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus will be sold by the selling stockholder.

The shares are held directly by iSystems Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”). Silver Oak iSystems, LLC (“iSystems LLC”) is the owner of a controlling interest in Holdings and has the right to appoint a majority of the managers of Holdings. Silver Oak Services Partners II, L.P. (“SOSP II”) is the sole member of iSystems LLC. Silver Oak Management II, L.P. (“SOM II”) is the general partner of SOSP II. Silver Oak Services Partners, LLC (“SOSP LLC”) is the general partner of SOM II. Daniel M. Gill and Gregory M. Barr are the sole members of SOSP LLC, each owning a 50% interest in SOSP LLC, who acting together, have the power to direct the decisions of SOSP II regarding the vote and disposition of securities held directly by Holdings. As such, iSystems LLC, SOSP II, SOM II, SOSP LLC, Mr. Gill and Mr. Barr may be deemed to be indirect beneficial owners of the shares held directly by Holdings. Each of iSystems LLC, SOSP II, SOM II, SOSP LLC, Mr. Gill and Mr. Barr expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of shares held directly by Holdings. The principal business address of each beneficial owner is 1560 Sherman Avenue, Suite 1200, Evanston, Illinois 60201. This information is based on a Schedule 13D and Form 3 filed by these beneficial owners on June 2, 2017.
 

 
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholder and any of its pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of the shares of common stock offered hereby on the NASDAQ Capital Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The selling stockholder may use one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

·
underwritten transactions;
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
·
block trades (which may involve crosses) in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
·
an exchange or market distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange or market;
·
privately negotiated transactions;
·
settlement of short sales;
·
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
·
through options, swaps or derivatives;
·
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

If required, a prospectus supplement with respect to a particular offering will set forth the terms of the offering, including the following:

·
the terms of the offering;
·
the names of any underwriters of agents;
·
the names of any managing underwriter or underwriters;
·
the name or names of the selling stockholder;
·
the purchase price of the securities;
·
the net proceeds from the sale of the securities;
·
any delayed delivery arrangements;
·
any underwriting discounts, commissions or agency fees and other item constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensations;
·
any initial price to the public;
·
any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and
·
any commissions paid to agents.

The selling stockholder may also sell shares of common stock under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

If the selling stockholder effects transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved).

In connection with sales of the shares, the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of our common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholder may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholder may also loan or pledge shares of our common stock to broker-dealers who in turn may sell such shares.
The selling stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act,  and any commissions, discounts, concessions or  profit they earn on the resale of the shares  may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. A selling stockholder who is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

The selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of Regulation M of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of our common stock by the selling stockholder. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of our common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of our common stock. These restrictions may affect the marketability of the shares of our common stock.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the shares of common stock may be sold in those jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with. 

We have agreed to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus have been sold and (ii) the second anniversary of the effective date of such registration statement.

We will pay all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock; provided, however, that the selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws.

we may indemnify our directors, officers, and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to limited exceptions;
·
we may advance expenses to our directors, officers and employees in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to limited exceptions; and
·
the rights provided in our certificate of incorporation are not exclusive.

We have also entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Item 17.
Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;  and

(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i)
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement;  and

(ii)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus.  As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.  Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5)
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(6)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
