As previously disclosed, on April 28, 2022, GTY Technology Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with GI Georgia Midco, Inc. (“Parent”) and GI Georgia Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”) providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “merger”), with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. On June 1, 2022, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a definitive proxy statement for the solicitation of proxies in connection with the special meeting of shareholders of the Company to be held on June 30, 2022, for purposes of voting, among other things, on matters necessary to complete the merger (the “Proxy Statement”).

While the Company believes that the disclosures set forth in the Proxy Statement comply fully with applicable law, the Company has determined to voluntarily supplement the Proxy Statement with various disclosures. These disclosures are provided in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K will be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. These disclosures should be read in connection with the Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. Defined terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement. Without agreeing in any way that the disclosures below are material or otherwise required by law, the Company makes the following amended and supplemental disclosures:

The section of the Proxy Statement entitled “The Merger—Opinion of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC—Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” is hereby supplemented as follows:

The second sentence of the third paragraph on page 51 (such paragraph beginning with “Credit Suisse performed . . .”) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

Credit Suisse applied, based on its judgment and experience, a range of terminal value multiples of 3.0x to 4.0x to the Company’s estimated revenue for year ended December 31, 2026 based on the Company Projections and discount rates ranging from 11.0% to 13.0%, derived from an estimated weighted average cost of capital calculation, to the projected unlevered free cash flows and calculated terminal values.

The section of the Proxy Statement entitled “The Merger—Opinion of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC—Certain Additional Information” is hereby supplemented by amending and restating the second bullet on page 51 (such bullet beginning with “price targets . . .”) of the Proxy Statement as follows:

price targets of three publicly available Wall Street research analysts for the Company common stock, which indicated a low to high target stock price range for the Company common stock of $8.00 to $10.00 per share (with a mean and median stock price target of $9.00).

The section of the Proxy Statement entitled “The Merger—Certain Prospective Financial Information” is hereby supplemented as follows:

The heading “Certain Prospective Financial Information” on page 52 of the Proxy Statement and the cross-references to such heading in the Table Contents and elsewhere in the Proxy Statement are hereby replaced with “Certain Prospective and Other Unaudited Financial Information.”

The first sentence of the second paragraph on page 52 of the Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows (it being understood that the only changes to such sentence are the inclusion of the two parentheticals noted below):

The Company Projections assumed that annual revenue growth rates would accelerate from 27% average annual revenue growth between 2019 and 2021 to 39% in 2023 (as compared to 51% in 2023 for the Original Projections) as a result of investment in additional sales and marketing resources combined with improving market conditions and that annual revenue growth rates between 2024 and 2026 would moderate to an average of approximately 26% (as compared to 37% for the Original Projections).

The following paragraph is hereby inserted immediately following the carryover paragraph on page 53 (such paragraph beginning with “The table below presents . . .”):

The Company also provided to the Board for its evaluation of the merger and to Credit Suisse for purposes of performing analyses underlying its opinion estimates of (a) its net indebtedness, including finance lease liabilities, as of March 31, 2022, adjusted to reflect debt funding drawn on April 1, 2022 and to give effect to values attributable to the contingent consideration payable by the Company arising from prior transactions, of approximately $56 million and (b) its net operating loss balance, as of March 31, 2022 and after giving effect to a valuation allowance, of approximately $85 million. The non-GAAP financial measures used in the Company Projections were relied upon by Credit Suisse for purposes of its fairness opinion and by the Board in connection with its consideration of the proposed merger. Non-GAAP financial measures provided to a financial advisor for purposes of its fairness opinion or to bidders in connection with a possible merger are, based on Securities and Exchange Commission guidance, excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measure, and, therefore, are not subject to Securities and Exchange Commission rules regarding disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures, which would otherwise require a reconciliation of a non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures were not relied upon by Credit Suisse for purposes of its fairness opinion or by the Board in connection with its consideration of the proposed merger. Accordingly, the Company has not provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures included in the Company Projections.

The section of the Proxy Statement entitled “The Merger—Certain Prospective Financial Information—Company Projections” is hereby supplemented as follows:

The table on page 53 is hereby replaced with the following table (it being understood that the only changes to the previous table are the inclusion of the projected financial data for Adjusted gross profit and Capital expenditures):

	Fiscal Year Ending December 31,
*In millions ⁽¹⁾*	2022 ⁽²⁾			2023			2024			2025			2026
