Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers: Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On July 18, 2025, John S. Marr, Jr. notified the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Tyler Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) of his decision to end his tenure on the Board effective May 5, 2026, immediately following the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of shareholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”). As a result, Mr. Marr will not stand for reelection to the Board at the 2026 Annual Meeting. His Board service will continue unchanged in the interim.
Mr. Marr has served as Executive Chair of the Board and Chair of the Executive Committee since May 2018, as Chair of the Board from January 2017-May 2018, and as director since May 2002. Mr. Marr’s decision to end his tenure was not due to any disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
Consistent with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Guidelines”), Mr. Marr submitted a letter memorializing his decision. A copy of that letter is attached at Exhibit 17.1.
As a result of Mr. Marr’s decision, assuming all other current directors stand for reelection, the Board currently anticipates that the size of the Board will be reduced from eight to seven directors, which is permitted under the Guidelines. The Nominating and Governance Committee, however, will continue to advise the Board on whether there are candidates who have the background, skills, and expertise that would qualify them as a director candidate under the Guidelines and that would warrant their nomination as a director in 2026.
Item 8.01 Other Events
In connection with Mr. Marr’s decision not to stand for reelection at the 2026 Annual Meeting, the independent directors of the Board discussed and unanimously agreed that their intent is to nominate H. Lynn Moore, Jr. to assume the role of Board Chair at the 2026 Annual Meeting. Mr. Moore currently serves as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The Guidelines allow for one person to serve as both Board Chair and as CEO, as Mr. Marr did previously. The independent directors of the Board also discussed and unanimously agreed that the Board would continue to appoint a Lead Independent Director for so long as the Board Chair is not independent, consistent with the Company’s Lead Independent Director Charter.
