Dear Stockholder:

You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Asure Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” or “Asure”), to be held at 405 Colorado Street, Suite 1800, Austin, Texas 78701, on May 20, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. Central Time for the following purposes:

1. To elect seven directors to the board of directors, each to hold office until the 2025 Annual Meeting or until his/her respective successor is duly elected and qualified;

2. To ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024;

3. To approve an amendment to the Asure Software, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance by 400,000 shares;

4. To approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers; and

5. To transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

All holders of record of shares of our common stock at the close of business on April 4, 2024, are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and at any postponements or adjournments of the Annual Meeting. Stockholders are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting in person; however, regardless of whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person, please cast your vote as instructed on the proxy card as promptly as possible. Please complete, sign, date and promptly return the proxy card in the postage-prepaid return envelope provided, or follow the instructions set forth on the proxy card to authorize the voting of your shares over the Internet or by telephone. Your prompt response is necessary to ensure that your shares are represented at the Annual Meeting. Submitting your proxy by Internet, telephone or mail will not affect your right to vote in person if you decide to attend the Annual Meeting. Stockholders holding shares of our common stock in brokerage accounts will receive instructions from the holder of record that you must follow in order for your shares to be voted. Certain of these institutions offer Internet and telephone voting.

IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING

Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. Central Time, and seating will begin at 8:45 a.m. Central Time. Each stockholder must bring a proof of ownership and valid picture identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, for admission to the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares in a brokerage account, you must bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting stock ownership as of the record date. Cameras, recording devices and other electronic devices will not be permitted at the Annual Meeting, and all cellular phones must be silenced during the Annual Meeting. We realize that many cellular phones have built-in digital cameras, and, while these phones may be brought into the Annual Meeting, the camera function may not be used at any time.
