This statement is filed on behalf of Nicusa Capital Partners, L.P. (“Nicusa Capital”) and Nicusa Investment Advisors, LLC (“NIA”). NIA serves as the investment advisor to Nicusa Capital – and also serves as an advisor for the accounts of various third parties who are otherwise unaffiliated with Nicusa Capital.

Item 2(b). Address of Principal Business Office or, if None, Residence:

Item 2(c) Background:

Nicusa Investment Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, acts as an investment adviser to Nicusa Capital Partners, L.P. and other clients.

Nicusa Capital Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, is a private investment partnership.

During the last five years, neither Nicusa Investment Advisors, LLC, nor any of its respective officers or directors has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

Prior to founding Nicusa Capital Partners, L.P., Paul Johnson (the managing member of Nicusa Investment Advisors, LLC) was a managing director and senior research analyst at Robertson Stephens. On November 11, 2005, a jury returned a verdict in a civil enforcement action commenced by the Securities Exchange Commission (the “Civil Action”) finding that Mr. Johnson violated the federal securities laws in connection with Robertson Stephens’ research reports on three companies. Thereafter in August, 2006, the SEC instituted public administrative proceedings (the “Administrative Proceeding”) to determine what remedial action would be appropriate following the jury verdict in the Civil Action.

In lieu of an appeal of the jury verdict, Mr. Johnson entered into a settlement with the SEC, pursuant to which Mr. Johnson agreed to the entry of a final judgment in the Civil Action (i) enjoining him, for a period of five (5) years, from future violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, (ii) requiring disgorgement of certain profits gained as a result of the conduct for which he was found liable by the jury and (iii) requiring payment of a civil penalty pursuant to Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. With respect to the Administrative Proceeding, Mr. Johnson submitted an Offer of Settlement that was accepted by the SEC, pursuant to which he consented to a five-year bar from association with any broker or dealer, with the right to reapply for association after five years to an appropriate self-regulatory organization or to the Commission.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

All Shares were purchased in the open market using NIA's assets. No leverage or loans were used in the acquisition.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction:

The securities of the issuer were acquired by NIA for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of changing or influencing the control of the issuer. NIA now seeks to influence certain actions and decisions by the Board of Directors of the issuer, as reflected in the correspondence annexed as an exhibit to this filing.

Mr. Cyril P. McGuire

Chairman of the Board

Trintech Group Plc

Block C, Central Park

Leopardstown

Dublin 18

Ireland

Dear Mr. McGuire and the Board of Directors of Trintech Group, Plc:

We are writing to you to object to the terms of the proposed sale of the Company.

As of October 28, 2010, Nicusa owns 514,111 Trintech ADSs, representing 1,028,222 ordinary shares, or approximately 3.1%, of the outstanding shares of the Company.

We have spent considerable time this year analyzing the Company. We developed an extensive financial model, spoke with management on numerous occasions, and interviewed competitors and potential customers. We believe Trintech’s business alone is worth $US4.00 to $US5.00 per ADS based on the Company’s growth prospects and operating leverage, and expect it to be worth considerably more over the next several years. Adding to that value is the Company’s cash of $US48.9 million, or $US2.92 per ADS, bringing the combined value to $US7.00 to $US8.00 per ADS.

$US6.60 per ADS undervalues the current business, and we are not satisfied with the deal as constituted. While you may be content to allow a private equity firm to capture all of the upside in the business, we are not. We intend to vote against your deal and encourage other shareholders to do the same.

The value of the Company changed dramatically this year with the sale of its healthcare division on April 1, 2010. The sale added $US34.5 million to the Company’s balance sheet and allowed management to refocus on its core financial software business. Proceeds from the sale were not reported on the Company’s financial statement until late May. It is misleading to value the Company before this transformative transaction.

As you are aware, Trintech is a leading provider of financial software to many successful global companies. We feel that the Company should be valued against companies with a similar business model and offer the following comparison. As the table shows, the stock is easily worth more than the current offering price, and the deal does not offer any control premium to Trintech’s comparables, as is normal and customary in acquisitions.

Notes

Source: SEC company filings, Wall Street consensus estimates

Trintech at proposed acquisition price, others based on October 25, 2010 close.

In addition, there have been a number of comparable software acquisitions in 2010. Against the universe of similar transactions, the premium to recent trading that we are being offered is unacceptable. Although you state that we are being offered a 61% premium to the average closing price over the last year, your calculation is inappropriate.

Your premium is based on an average of closing prices; more appropriate would be to calculate the premium based on a volume-weighted average closing price, as more than 30% of non-insider controlled shares have traded in the last year. Using the more appropriate volume-weighted average, the premium is 36.3%, far less than you claim. More importantly, because of the transformative nature of the sale of the healthcare division, which was announced 4 months prior to the accepted offer, we believe a 90-day trading average to be the most appropriate time period over which to calculate a premium.

There have been a number of comparable software acquisitions in 2010. Against the universe of similar transactions, the premium to 90-day volume-weighted trading average that we are being offered is unacceptable.

The Board has accepted a low-ball offer for Trintech and is trampling on the rights of minority shareholders in the process. We demand that you renegotiate the deal. We encourage all shareholders to review our analysis as we believe the ADSs are worth considerably more than $US6.60.

Furthermore, we encourage all shareholders to vote against this acquisition.

Sincerely,

Paul Johnson

Managing member
