ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

Purposes - At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked:

1.To elect seven directors to the board of directors, each to hold office until the 2027 Annual Meeting or until his or her respective successor is duly elected and qualified;

2.To ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026;

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

The board knows of no other matters to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, however, the persons named in the proxy will vote on such other matters in accordance with their best judgment.

Record Date; Stockholders Entitled to Vote - Only holders of record of our shares of common stock at the close of business on March 16, 2026 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Each share of common stock will be entitled to one vote. As of March 16, 2026, there were 28,635,777 shares of our common stock outstanding.

Quorum - A majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, will be required to constitute a quorum for the Annual Meeting.

Vote Required - Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the stockholders entitled to vote on the election of directors. If more than seven director nominees are properly presented to the stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the seven nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the shares which are present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote for the election of directors will be elected to our board. Each of the remaining proposals must be approved by a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and voting thereon.

Dissenters’ Rights - No dissenters’ rights are provided under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our Restated Certificate of Incorporation or our Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”) with respect to any of the proposals described in this proxy statement.

Board Recommendation - Our board of directors has unanimously approved and recommends that an affirmative vote be cast “FOR” the election of each of our director nominees and “FOR” the ratification of our independent registered accounting firm.

Voting Your Shares - If you own shares registered directly in your name (a “registered stockholder”), you may submit your proxy by US Mail, Internet or telephone and following the instructions in the Notice. The deadline for submitting your proxy by Internet or telephone is 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 11, 2026. The designated proxy will vote according to your instructions. You may also attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person.

If you hold your shares in the name of a broker or other nominee, then your broker or other nominee is considered to be the registered stockholder. However, you are still considered the beneficial owner of those shares and your shares are said to be held in “street name.” If you hold shares in street name, your broker or nominee firm may provide you with a Notice. Follow the instructions on the Notice to access our proxy materials and vote by Internet or to request a paper or email copy of our proxy materials. If you receive these materials in paper form, the materials include a voting instruction card so that you can instruct your broker or nominee how to vote your shares. Please check your Notice or voting instruction card or contact your broker or other nominee to determine whether you will be able to deliver your voting instructions by Internet or telephone. If you hold your shares in street name and you want to vote at the Annual Meeting, you will need to obtain a signed proxy from the broker or nominee that holds your shares because the broker or nominee is the legal, registered owner of the shares.

Changing Your Vote by Revoking Your Proxy - If you are a registered stockholder, you may revoke or change your vote at any time before the proxy is voted by filing with our Secretary either a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. If you attend the Annual Meeting in person, you may ask the inspector of elections to suspend your proxy holder’s power to vote, and you may submit another proxy or vote by ballot. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy.

If your shares are held in street name or you hold shares through a retirement or savings plan or other similar plan, please check your voting instruction card or contact your broker, nominee, trustee, or administrator to determine whether you will be able to revoke or change your vote.

How Votes are Counted - All shares that have been properly voted by proxy and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions contained in the proxy. If you return a signed and dated proxy card but do not indicate how your shares are to be voted, those shares will be voted “FOR” each of the director nominees, “FOR” proposal 2 and in the discretion of the named proxy holders as to any other matter properly brought before the Annual Meeting. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting. Only the latest dated proxy you submit will be counted.

Shares voted as withheld from the election of directors under proposal 1 will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting but will have no effect on the election of director nominees. Shares voted as abstentions on proposal 2 will similarly be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting and will not be treated as votes cast on such proposal and will therefore have no effect on the result of such vote.

Broker Non-Votes - A broker non-vote occurs when a broker submits a proxy card with respect to shares held in a fiduciary capacity (typically referred to as being held in “street name”) but declines to vote on a particular matter because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Under the rules that govern brokers who are voting with respect to shares held in street name, brokers have the discretion to vote such shares on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters. Only the vote on ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm is considered a routine matter that brokers may cast discretionary votes upon. As the election of directors is decided by the plurality of votes cast, broker non-votes will not be treated as votes cast in the election of a director and will therefore have no effect on the result of such vote. The remaining proposal must be approved by a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and voting thereon, broker non-votes will not be treated as votes cast on such proposal and will therefore have no effect on the result of such vote.

Additional Information - Additional information about the Company is contained in our current and periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These reports, their accompanying exhibits and other documents filed with the SEC may be inspected without charge electronically at www.sec.gov. Copies of such materials can also be obtained by sending a written request to the Corporate Secretary at Asure Software, Inc., 405 Colorado Street, Suite 1800, Austin, Texas 78701.

Your vote is important!

Please submit your proxy or voting instructions today.

ITEM 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The first proposal to be voted on at the Annual Meeting is the election of directors. Our board of directors currently consists of seven members, each with a term expiring at the Annual Meeting. Our board has nominated our seven incumbent directors for election at the Annual Meeting as follows:


•	Benjamin Allen	•	Grace Lee

•	W. Carl Drew	•	Bradford Oberwager

•	Daniel Gill	•	Bjorn Reynolds

•	Patrick Goepel

Directors are elected annually and serve a one-year term or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Each of our director nominees has consented to being named in this proxy statement and has consented to serve as a director of the Company if elected. There are no family relationships among our directors and executive officers.

The Board of Directors recommends voting “FOR” each director nominee.

Generally, the Nominating and Governance Committee recommends director nominations and reviews nominees against the skills and characteristics that are required of our board members. The Nominating and Governance Committee focuses on a candidate’s expertise in the Company’s industry and experience in technology, business, legal matters, and finance. We look at a candidate’s education, skills, business experience, administration experience, and other appropriate factors given the current needs of the board and the Company. Our goal is to maintain a balance among board members of industry knowledge, experience, and ability to map out successful strategies for the Company’s business. Nominees for the board should have the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity, and values and be committed to representing the long-term interests of stockholders. They should be forward-thinking, possess critical analysis skills, and exhibit independence and practical judgment on issues. Evaluation of candidates for all nominees, whether submitted by a board member or a stockholder, generally involves reviewing background materials, internal discussions among committee members, and interviewing selected candidates as appropriate. Upon selecting a qualified candidate, the Nominating and Governance Committee recommends the candidate for the board’s consideration.

Our board handled the duties delegated to our Nominating and Governance Committee in calendar year ended December 31, 2025. In recommending the nominees for election at this Annual Meeting, the board evaluated our directors against the criteria stated above and found that all of our directors contribute to the board through their expertise and experience and diversity of backgrounds. Additionally, the board, acting as our Nominating and Governance Committee, noted that one of our director nominees is female, which is approximately 14% of our board. Additionally, approximately 14% of our board is ethnically diverse.

Stockholders may recommend a candidate for our board by writing to the attention of the Secretary, Asure Software, Inc., 405 Colorado Street, Suite 1800, Austin, Texas 78701, specifying the candidate’s name and qualifications for board membership. All recommendations are submitted to the Nominating and Governance Committee. For the board to consider a candidate for nomination at the 2027 Annual Meeting, stockholders must submit a written recommendation by March 13, 2027, but not earlier than February 11, 2027. Each submission must, among other things, include: (a) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice (i) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such stockholder and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Company which are beneficially owned by such stockholder and also which are owned of record by such stockholder; and (c) as to the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, (i) the name and address of such person and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Company which are beneficially owned by such person. Recommended candidates may be required to provide additional information, including the number of shares of common stock of the Company beneficially owned. While our board of directors has not adopted a formal diversity policy or specific standards with regard to the selection of director nominees, the board of directors believes it is important to consider diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, age, education, cultural background, and professional experiences in evaluating board candidates.

The full board then selects and recommends candidates for nomination as directors for stockholders to consider and vote upon at the Annual Meeting. The board reviews and considers any candidates submitted by a stockholder or stockholder group in the same manner as all other candidates. Each nominee has consented to serve until the next annual stockholder meeting, if elected, or until his or her successor is elected and qualified.

If any director is unable to stand for re-election after distribution of this proxy statement, the board may reduce its size or designate a substitute. If the board designates a substitute, proxies voting on the original director candidate will be cast for the substituted candidate. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named on the enclosed form of proxy. A plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy by the holders of common stock represented at the Annual Meeting is required to elect a director. The seven nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the shares which are present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote for the election of director will be elected to our board.

COMMITTEES AND MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Director Independence - Our board of directors consists of a majority of independent directors as such term is defined under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The board of directors has determined that each of Ms. Lee and Messrs. Allen, Drew, Gill, Oberwager, and Reynolds are independent. The board of directors has also determined that all of the members of the board’s committees are independent as defined under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, including in the case of all members of the Audit Committee, the independence requirements contemplated by Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

Board Meetings and Attendance - Our board of directors met five times during the calendar year ended December 31, 2025. No director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the board of directors and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the board of directors on which such director served. The board of directors requires that directors make a reasonable effort to attend the Company’s annual stockholder meeting. Last year, none of our directors were able to attend the annual meeting.

Committees - Committees of the board of directors include the Compensation Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, and the Audit Committee. Each Committee operates under a charter that has been approved by the board of directors and current copies of these charters are posted on our website, https://investor.asuresoftware.com/corporate-governance.

Compensation Committee - The Compensation Committee is responsible for approving the compensation arrangements of senior management and recommending approval by the board of directors of amendments to our benefit plans. In August 2020, our Board appointed Brad Oberwager to serve as Chair of the Compensation Committee. Under its charter, the Compensation Committee may delegate any or all of its responsibilities to a subcommittee of the Compensation Committee. Since 2024, the Compensation Committee engaged Compensia, Inc., an independent consultant to assist it in developing a performance stock based program for the Company’s executive officers and other senior leaders.

In April 2021, our board appointed Grace Lee to serve as the chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE AND ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT

Our Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Goepel, serves as Chairman of the Board. Due to the combined Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board roles, Daniel Gill serves as the Lead Independent Director. With respect to the appointment of a Lead Independent Director, the board acknowledges the importance of appointing a Lead Independent Director to maintain a strong independent board leadership structure that functions collaboratively with management while maintaining independent oversight. The Lead Independent Director role comes with significant authority and responsibilities. The primary responsibilities include: (i) ensuring the board has full, timely, and relevant information to support its decision-making requirements; (ii) advising the Chairman as to the appropriate schedule for board meetings and providing input on the preparation of agendas for board meetings; (iii) consulting with the Chairman and the board on the effectiveness of Board committees; (iv) calling and presiding over meetings of the board's non-employee directors; and (v) consulting with the Chairman as to the timeliness of the flow of information from the company that is necessary for the directors to effectively perform their duties. The lead independent director has the authority to call meetings of the non-employee directors and to call executive sessions of the non-employee directors in conjunction with any board meeting.

Our board of directors as a whole has responsibility for overseeing our risk management. The board of directors exercises this oversight responsibility directly and through its committees. The oversight responsibility of the board of directors and its committees is informed by reports from our management team that are designed to provide visibility to the board of directors about the identification and assessment of key risks and our risk mitigation strategies. The full board of directors has primary responsibility for evaluating strategic and operational risk management, cybersecurity risks and succession planning. Our Audit Committee has the responsibility for overseeing our major financial and accounting risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including policies and procedures for assessing and managing risk. Our Audit Committee also reviews programs for promoting and monitoring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Our Compensation Committee evaluates risks arising from our compensation policies and practices. The Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee provide reports to the full board of directors regarding these and other matters. Our Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for managing risks associated with director succession, our governance structure and environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) matters, among other matters.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION TABLE

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation paid to the non-employee directors for the year ended December 31, 2025 (includes amounts that were earned in calendar year ended December 31, 2024, and paid in 2025) (whole dollars):

(1) On March 3, 2025, Mr. Drew, Mr. Reynolds, Ms. Lee, Mr. Allen, Mr. Gill, and Mr. Oberwager were each granted restricted stock units of 7,000 shares of our common stock. These restricted stock units vested on March 3, 2026. The amounts in this column represent the fair value of the restricted stock units as of the grant date as computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 (“ASC 718”) and SEC disclosure rules, excluding the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting. Refer to Note 9, “Stockholders’ Equity, Employee Benefit Plans and Share-Based Compensation” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K filed on February 26, 2026, for the relevant assumptions used to determine the valuation of our awards. The grant date fair value does not necessarily correspond to the actual economic value that may be realized for these awards.

The following table shows the aggregate number of stock and option awards outstanding for each of our non-employee directors as of December 31, 2025 (whole shares):


Name	Restricted Stock Unit Awards(1)	Option Awards(2)
Daniel Gill	7,000	5,000
Bradford Oberwager	7,000	1,932
Bjorn Reynolds	7,000	5,000
W. Carl Drew	7,000	—
Benjamin Allen	7,000	5,000
Grace Lee	7,000	—

(1) None of the restricted stock units were vested as of December 31, 2025.

(2) All of the options were vested as of December 31, 2025.

Pursuant to our non-employee director compensation policy adopted in 2020 and in effect for calendar year 2025, an annual retainer of $45,000 is paid to each independent director and while our non-employee director compensation policy does not provide for stock option or other equity award grants, our board of directors expects to make annual equity grants to our independent directors. No additional fees are paid for attendance at meetings. During 2025, we also paid the following additional annual retainers for service as committee chairs and for our Lead Independent Director:


Lead Independent Director	$	5,000	per annum
Audit Committee Chair	$	5,000	per annum
Compensation Committee Chair	$	5,000	per annum
Nominating and Governance Committee Chair	$	2,500	per annum

Upon the recommendation of our Compensation Committee and with the guidance of our independent compensation consultant, our board of directors modified our non-employee director compensation policy to (a) increase the annual retainers paid to our Lead Independent Director and our committee chairs, (b) add an annual retainer in recognition of each director’s services on our committees, and (c) align the timing of payment of the cash portion of our non-employee director compensation and the issuance of annual grants with our annual meeting.

These changes will take effect following our 2026 annual meeting. Specifically, we will continue to pay each non-employee director an annual retainer of $45,000 and will pay the following annual retainers for our Lead Independent Director, committee chairs, and committee members:


Lead Independent Director	$	15,000	per annum
Audit Committee Chair	$	20,000	per annum
Audit Committee Member	$	10,000	per annum
Compensation Committee Chair	$	15,000	per annum
Compensation Committee Member	$	5,000	per annum
Nominating and Governance Committee Chair	$	10,000	per annum
Nominating and Governance Committee Member	$	4,000	per annum

Chairs of committees will not receive the annual retainer for committee members and we will not pay fees to directors for their attendance at meetings. Our board of directors does expect to make annual equity grants to its directors for their service to the board, with those grants being issued in connection with our annual meetings and having a target value of $140,000.

Mr. Goepel, as a director who is also our employee, does not receive any separate cash or equity compensation for his service as a director.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

A stockholder who wishes to communicate with the board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to the Chairman of the Board at the address appearing on the first page of this proxy statement.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES

In 2026, we intend to continue our efforts to formalize and improve our ESG programs as well as to increase transparency and disclosure about these programs. Our ESG Committee, comprised of non-officer employees, is dedicated to the development and oversight of these programs and is advised by the Nominating and Governance Committee. Pursuant to the Nominating and Governance charter, the Nominating and Governance Committee has primary responsibility over ESG matters at the board level.

As reflected elsewhere in this proxy statement, we continued our commitment in 2025 to strong corporate governance principles. Our activities in this area include annual election of all directors, committees of the board comprised of only independent directors, prohibition on pledging and hedging our stock, and appointment of a lead independent director. We also continued to enhance our strong corporate ethics and compliance policies. For example, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics expressly prohibits Asure employees and agents from promising, offering or authorizing payment of anything of value to any government official to obtain or retain business, to secure other improper advantage or to improperly influence a government official’s actions.

Some of our efforts to further our social and environmental principles include the programs described below.

Social Responsibility. As a leader in the human capital management industry, we believe that human capital management strategies are an important part of our company values – embrace change; lead with integrity; own the outcome; deliver awesome; and be a good human.

We have the following programs in place to enforce our company values to lead with integrity and deliver awesome. We currently offer paid SHRM-CP training and certification (from the Society for Human Resource Management) to our HR professionals and Certified Payroll Professional (“CPP”) training and certification (from the American Payroll Association) to our payroll specialists to enable these employees to increase their knowledge base and obtain valuable credentials in their fields.

Furthering our commitment to align our interests with those of our stakeholders and stockholders, we have began publishing statistics regarding our gender pay gap, gender diversity data, racial and ethnic diversity data and age diversity data. This information is provided to promote transparency to our stakeholders and investors and to foster a more inclusive environment.

Environmental Sustainability. Asure recognizes the importance of protecting and maintaining the quality of the environment as an integral part of our operations and is committed to environmental responsibility in the conduct of our operations. Our headquarters are located at 405 Colorado Street in the city of Austin, TX. The building is an EnergyStar® Rated building, which means it is energy-efficient and helps reduce environmental impact, and is also UL Healthy Building Verified. The building makes use of motion detected lighting systems and low flow plumbing fixtures to conserve water. Asure supports its policy on environmental sustainability through both customer-facing and internal initiatives. First, our solutions help clients leverage digital HR solutions and technology to minimize printing waste, including through electronic payrolls to client employees and electronic signature technologies. Second, internally, we have adopted an environmental management system that encourages recycling and waste management in our business practices and operating procedures. This support includes a commitment to the purchase, use, and disposal of products and materials in a manner that will best utilize natural resources and minimize any negative impact on the earth's environment. Special recycling receptacles have been set up at our offices to promote the separation and collection of designated recyclable materials. We encourage reducing and, when possible, eliminating the use of disposable products. Our source reduction decreases the consumption of valuable resources through workplace practices such as: communication through email and video conferencing and posting employee memos and key document resources on the company intranet; using digital business forms, two-sided photocopying, and minimum packaging; reusing paper clips, folders, binders, packaging material and wooden pallets; and turning off lights when rooms are not in use. We strive to continuously improve our environmental efforts and the impact of our operations on the environment and we have not suffered any major environmental controversy. Our operations do not generate hazardous waste. Our hybrid architecture leverages Amazon Web Services (AWS), a leading public cloud provider that is independently dedicated to sustainability. AWS focuses on carbon offsetting, waste reduction, minimizing water usage, and minimizing environmental impact through reforestation initiatives. Despite our efforts to promote environmental sustainability, there are limited risks to the environment related to our business. Specifically, our payroll operations use paper in the printing of payroll checks. Those checks are mailed through the US Postal Service, however we expect that as usage of our AsurePay product increases, the number of printed checks will decline. We also may be using electricity in certain of our business operations, which is generated by coal. Asure requires its vendors to adopt environmental sustainable plans. Specifically, its Vendor Code of Conduct states that vendors should operate in an environmentally responsible manner, strive to minimize adverse impact on the environment, and comply with all environmental laws, rules, and regulations in the countries in which they operate.

Employee Wellness. We continue to offer affordable health, dental and vision care to all full-time employees, and part-time employees working more than 20 hours per week. In addition, we provide a generous contribution to employees’ health savings accounts, and offer an employee assistance program to all employees that provides behavioral counseling, monthly educational seminars, legal and financial consultants, and resources on a number of topics important to employee well-being. We also offer a generous Paid Time Off (“PTO”) program, which includes self-managed PTO for all employees, as well as a fitness reimbursement program. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 45% of our employees worked remotely.

Data Security. We have the highest commitments to protecting the security of our clients’ information and our internal payroll processes. We maintain SOC 1 and SOC 2 certifications and adhere to NIST guidance on security best practices. Additionally, we employ a vice-president of information security who reports to senior management on a quarterly basis on matters impacting the company’s security and privacy practices. All of our employees are required to go through annual internal infosecurity training, and members of our payroll team receive enhanced fraud prevention and security training. We have also invested in additional fraud prevention tools including software used in connection with our AML/BSA compliance program and we participate in industry-run payroll fraud prevention organizations.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers, and employees, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer. These individuals are required to abide by the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to ensure that our business is conducted in a consistently legal and ethical manner. The Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics covers all areas of professional conduct, including employment policies, conflicts of interest, intellectual property, and the protection of confidential information, as well as strict adherence to all laws and regulations applicable to the conduct of its business. Any waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for directors or executive officers must be approved by the board of directors. The full text of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is published on our website at https://investor.asuresoftware.com/corporate-governance. We intend to disclose future amendments to, or waivers from, provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on our website within four business days following the date of such amendment or waiver.

INSIDER TRADING POLICY

The Company has an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale and other dispositions of the Company’s securities (the “Insider Trading Policy”) that applies to all of the Company’s directors, officers, employees and other covered persons identified within the Insider Trading Policy. The Company believes that the Insider Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws, rules and regulations, as well as Nasdaq listing standards applicable to the Company, relating to insider trading. In addition, with regard to the Company’s trading in its own securities, it is the Company’s policy to comply with applicable federal securities laws and Nasdaq listing requirements. A copy of the Insider Trading Policy is included as Exhibit 19.1 to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026.

ANTI-HEDGING POLICY

Under the Insider Trading Policy, directors, executive officers, and certain other employees who given their roles are reasonably likely to have access to material non-public information, as well as persons sharing their households, are prohibited from engaging in any hedging transactions or other speculative trading in the Company’s securities unless advance approval is obtained from the Company’s Compliance Committee. Prohibited transactions include short sales, options trading, trading on margin or pledging, and hedging or monetization transactions (including the purchase of financial instruments that hedge or are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of our securities).

CLAWBACK POLICY

The Company has adopted a Clawback Policy to provide for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from executive officers. This policy, designed to comply with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, applies in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. In the event of such an accounting restatement, the Board will determine the amount of erroneously awarded compensation received by each executive officer, and the Company will recover reasonably promptly the erroneously awarded compensation received in accordance with the Clawback Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other policy of the Company or any agreement between the Company and an executive officer, no executive officer will be indemnified by the Company against the loss of any erroneously awarded compensation or any claims related to the Company’s enforcement of its rights under the Clawback Policy. Any right of recovery under the Clawback Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recovery that may be available to the Company under applicable law, regulation or rule or pursuant to the terms of any policy of the Company or any provision in any employment agreement, equity award agreement, compensatory plan, agreement or other arrangement, including the 2018 Plan. A copy of the Clawback Policy is included as Exhibit 97.1 to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026.

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

Our Bylaws set forth the expectation that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer acquire and hold during his or herm term of service one year worth of annual base wage compensation in the form of our common stock. As set forth in the Bylaws, only shares of common stock shall count towards meeting the ownership requirements, and such shares may be held directly, in trust, in joint accounts, and by immediate family members. If ownership requirements are not met, the Chief Executive Officer will not qualify to receive the annual bonus. The use of derivatives or other structures to hedge share ownership is strictly prohibited. The stock ownership calculation is based off shares valued at the greater of the cost basis or market value. Mr. Goepel, our Chief Executive Officer, held shares of our common stock of at least 23 times his annual base wage compensation, based on a closing share price of $8.73 as of March 16, 2026

LABOR AND HUMAN RIGHTS POLICY

Asure’s “Labor and Human Rights Policy” formalizes the Company’s commitment to preserving and promoting the fundamental rights of others as reflected in our commitment to labor and human rights. Our codes, standards and programs are built around the recognition that everything we do in connection with our work must reflect the highest possible standards of ethical business conduct and all employees must be treated with respect and dignity. Our commitment to international human rights standards and local laws are rooted in our core values and reinforced through our “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics” and other company policies. We support the aim of the International Labor Organization (“ILO”), the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (“UDHR”), the International Bill of Human Rights, and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights to arrive at universally accepted labor standards and have therefore adopted internal policies, standards, procedures, and guidelines that are aligned with these policies. Asure’s management is strongly committed to ensuring the continuing development and implementation of our “Labor and Human Rights Policy” and will continue to regularly evaluate these policies to ensure an effective outcome and adherence by our employees as well as holding our suppliers and vendors to the same standards. Additionally, Asure will ensure all employees receive training and/or education enabling them to embody our commitment to these principles.

POLICY ON FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND EXPRESSION

Asure strives to enable its employees to pursue truth, seek knowledge, and develop understanding of what it means to be a member of a civil society. Freedom of speech and expression are indispensable to Asure’s mission. While each member of Asure enjoys freedom of speech and expression both within and outside the workplace, such freedom also comes with responsibility. Asure vigorously supports the rights of all employees of Asure to freely express their views and to peacefully and lawfully protest against actions and opinions with which they disagree. Asure also recognizes that the right to free speech and expression is not absolute. It must be balanced against the company’s obligation to the principles of freedom and to provide a secure and civil environment where employees can freely exchange ideas and openly engage in deliberation and debate. Open-mindedness, civility, respect, decency, and sensitivity for the opinions and rights of others, however different from one’s own, are crucial to fulfilling Asure’s mission. Asure is committed to freedom of speech and expression and therefore does not have an obligation to insulate members of the Asure team from ideas and opinions that are objectionable, offensive, unwise, ill-conceived, or hateful in nature. Unprotected speech that violates the law or Asure policies shall be prohibited and handled through established disciplinary processes (Asure’s Employee Handbook outlines its disciplinary policies and procedures). Consistent with the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the Company offers training for employees of Asure about civil discourse and the freedom of speech and expression. Support and resources are provided for members of Asure Software who experience speech or expression that they find objectionable, offensive, unwise, ill-conceived, or hateful in nature.

ANTI-HUMAN TRAFFICKING POLICY

Asure complies with the United States government’s prohibitions on trafficking in persons. Asure is committed to a work environment that is free from human trafficking and slavery, which for purposes of this policy includes forced labor and unlawful child labor. Asure will not tolerate or condone human trafficking or slavery in any part of our global organization. Asure’s employees and its joint ventures, and direct and indirect suppliers, vendors, contractors, subcontractors, business partners, service providers, independent contractors, consultants, and others through whom Asure conducts business must avoid complicity in any practice that constitutes trafficking in persons or slavery.

VENDOR CODE OF CONDUCT

Asure’s “Vendor Code of Conduct” formalizes our commitment to ensuring our vendors reinforce our values and sets forth our expectations that our vendors operate in compliance with the principles outlined in this Code. Asure expects our vendors to conduct their operations in accordance with all applicable professional standards, legal requirements, and this Code. The provisions of this Code are in addition to those specified in any agreement between a vendor and Asure. Failure to comply with the terms of this Code may jeopardize a vendor’s relationship with Asure, up to and including termination of some or all of the services being provided by a vendor to Asure. Applicable terms in a vendor’s contract with Asure supersede any conflicting provisions of this Code.

ITEM 2 - RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has appointed CBIZ CPAs PC (“CBIZ”) as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the calendar year ending December 31, 2026. We are advised that no member of CBIZ has any direct financial interest or material indirect financial interest in the Company or any of its subsidiaries or, during the past three years, has had any connection with the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the capacity of promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee.

Stockholder ratification is not required for the selection of CBIZ, because the Audit Committee has the responsibility for the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Nonetheless, the selection is being submitted for ratification at the Annual Meeting solely with a view toward soliciting the stockholders’ opinion thereon, which opinion will be taken into consideration in future deliberations. Even if the selection of CBIZ is ratified by the stockholders, the Audit Committee has the discretion to select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

A representative of CBIZ will be attending the Annual Meeting and will be available for questions. This representative will further have an opportunity to make a statement if the representative desires.

The Board of Directors recommends voting “FOR” ratification of the appointment of CBIZ as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026.

CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) served as our independent registered public accounting firm from 2016 until April 2025. On November 1, 2024, CBIZ acquired the attest business of Marcum, and substantially all of the partners and staff that provided attestation services for Marcum joined CBIZ.

On April 14, 2025, Marcum resigned as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm as result of the acquisition by CBIZ of Marcum’s attestation business. In connection with the resignation of Marcum and the appointment of CBIZ, the Company reports that the reports of Marcum regarding the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and through April 14, 2025, the date of Marcum's resignation, there were (a) no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused Marcum to make reference to such disagreement in its report and (b) no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions), except for the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to ineffective design and operation of controls over program change management as described in Item 9A of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2025.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and through April 14, 2025, neither the Company nor anyone on the Company's behalf consulted with CBIZ regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or regarding the type of audit opinions that might be rendered by CBIZ on the Company’s financial statements, and CBIZ did not provide any written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any such accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions), as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided Marcum with a copy of this disclosure and on April 16, 2025, Marcum furnished the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC, pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, stating that it agreed with these disclosures. Such letter is filed with the SEC on our current report on Form 8-K dated April 16, 2025.

AUDIT COMMITTEE POLICY ON PRE-APPROVAL OF FEES

Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of our independent registered public accounting firm. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm.

Prior to engagement of the independent registered public accountants for the next year’s audit, management submits an aggregate of services expected to be rendered during that year for each of four categories of services to the Audit Committee for approval. The first category (Audit Fees) includes audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements, as well as work that generally only our independent registered public accounting firm can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards. The second category (Audit-Related Fees) includes assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements. The third category (Tax Fees) includes all services performed by our independent registered public accountants’ tax personnel, except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice. The fourth category (All Other Fees) includes items associated with services not captured in the other categories. We generally do not request services other than audit, audit-related and tax services from our independent registered public accounting firm.

Prior to engagement, the Audit Committee pre-approves these services by category of service. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee requires our independent registered public accountants and management to report actual fees versus the budget at least annually by category of service. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage our independent registered public accountants for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires specific pre-approval before such engagement.

The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated, reports for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

FEES PAID TO INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Marcum previously served as our independent registered public accounting firm from 2016 until April 2025. On November 1, 2024, CBIZ acquired the attest business of Marcum, and substantially all of the partners and staff that provided attestation services for Marcum joined CBIZ.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The compensation of our named executive officers is determined by the Compensation Committee with the guidance of its independent compensation consultant, Compensia. The Compensation Committee intends that its executive compensation practices and principles are aligned with the executive compensation of its peer companies and that those practices and principles are fair and reasonable. These principles align with the Company’s strategic initiatives, balance both individual and company performance, and seek to provide competitive wages and benefits with consistent position in the median range of the most relevant markets to its named executive officers based on their roles, responsibilities, skills, and performance.

Specifically, the Compensation Committee’s goal is to ensure this program:

•Closely aligns our executive compensation with stockholder value creation, avoiding plans that encourage our executives to take excessive risk while driving long-term value to stockholders;

•Supports our long-term business strategy by ensuring that performance objectives are consistent with driving long-term stockholder value;

•Recognizes that the portion of a named executive officer’s compensation that is at-risk and performance-based should be tied to the level of that individual’s responsibility and their ability to control the achievement of performance objectives;

•Emphasizes equity-based compensation over cash compensation;

•Allows us to recruit and retain a top-tier executive team in a competitive industry and to motivate our executive team to achieve superior performance over sustained period; and

•Provides a competitive compensation opportunity while adhering to market standards for compensation.

The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the compensation principles used for setting the total cash compensation and equity incentive compensation for the named executive officers, in consultation with Compensia. The Company also periodically compares the components of its compensation with its peer companies and those of its competitors to ensure that compensation remains competitive and continues to attract, retain, and motivate a skilled and diverse workforce. Based on the most recent review, with respect to compensation for fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee, with the guidance of Compensia, compared our named executive officers’ compensation with that of other U.S. public companies in the technology space and having annual revenues between $50 million to $200 million (the “Sub 200 Peer Companies”) and those U.S. public companies in the technology space having annual revenues between $200 million and $500 million (the “200+ Peer Companies” and together with the Sub 200 Peer Companies, the “Peer Companies”). Given that the Company is growing in size, the Compensation Committee believes that reviewing both peer classes would provide more comparable data in evaluating the Company’s executive compensation programs. Based on this analysis, the Compensation Committee determined that the compensation of our named executive officers was below the median of compensation for similar positions at the Peer Companies.

Specifically:

•Base Salaries for named executive officers approximate the 20% percentile of the Sub-200 Peer Companies and the 10% percentile of the 200+ Peer Companies, on average;

•Target cash bonuses for named executive officers approximate the 40% percentile of the Sub-200 Peer Companies and the 10% percentile of the 200+ Peer Companies, on average; and

•On a grant-value basis, Asure’s 2025 equity grants for its named executive officers are positioned at the 25% percentile of the Sub-200 Peer Companies and the 10% percentile of the 200+ Peer Companies, on average.

For purposes of the above, this analysis also included the compensation of two additional members of the executive team who are not named executive officers. Thus, the averages included the compensation for those individuals as well.

The Compensation Committee may exercise its discretion in modifying any recommended compensation adjustments or awards to such named executive officers.

COMPONENTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We offer our named executive officers’ compensation in the following forms:

•Base salaries to compensate individuals for their day-to-day responsibilities,

•Variable compensation in the form of performance-based bonuses that are directed to drive targeted corporate business goals and annual objectives; and

•Equity compensation in the form of RSUs and PSUs in order to foster focus of our named executive officers on long-term objectives.

BASE SALARY

Salaries provide our named executive officers with a base level of compensation for the responsibilities of their individual positions and are set based on their levels of experience and expertise. Recommendations on increases to base salary take into account, among other factors, market data and the advice of our independent compensation consultant, Compensia, along with consideration of the named executive officers’ individual performance and general contributions to overall Company performance. The following table sets forth the base salaries of our named executive officers for 2025 and 2024:


Named Executive Officer	Principal Position	2025 Base Salary		2024 Base Salary
Patrick Goepel	Chief Executive Officer	$	475,000	$	450,000
Eyal Goldstein	Chief Revenue Officer	$	450,000	$	425,000
John Pence	Chief Financial Officer	$	400,000	$	385,000

VARIABLE COMPENSATION UNDER ANNUAL BONUS PLAN

We maintain a variable compensation plan in the form of an annual cash bonus plan to reward the performance of our named executive officers in achieving our corporate goals and to primarily align this element of pay for our named executive officers with corporate performance.

For fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee established the following corporate performance measures based 50% upon Total Revenues and 50% upon Adjusted EBITDA targets to assess the cash bonus opportunity for each named executive officer:


Achievement Level	Total Revenue		Adjusted EBITDA(1)		Corresponding Payout as % of Target (for each metric)
Threshold	$	131,000,000	$	30,000,000	50	%
Target	$	138,000,000	$	32,500,000	100	%
Maximum	$	145,000,000	$	35,000,000	200	%

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to measure its performance. See the Company’s current report on Form 8-K furnished with the SEC on February 26, 2026, for information about how the Company calculates adjusted EBITDA.

In determining the targets and payouts under the annual cash bonus plan, the Compensation Committee identified performance criteria it views as the most applicable measures of Company performance and set targets that it believes provided appropriate incentives for the named executive officers with respect to 2025 objectives.

Based on actual performance for fiscal year 2025, the Company achieved $140,541,000 in Total Revenue and $32,023,000 in Adjusted EBITDA. Therefore, our named executive officers were eligible for a payout at approximately 110% of target, as they had exceeded the target achievement level for total revenue but were short of the target achievement level for adjusted EBITDA.

However, the Compensation Committee determined that since the level of achievement reached was materially impacted by the business combination that took place during fiscal year 2025 and since that transaction was not considered when establishing the performance metrics and targets, it was in the best interest of the Company to adjust the performance targets for the payment of the cash bonus. As a result, the Compensation Committee determined that our named executive officers had earned and would be paid the following cash bonuses under our annual cash bonus plan for fiscal year 2025, which were paid in fiscal year 2026:


Named Executive Officer	Fiscal Year 2025 Cash Bonus Opportunity (as a % of Base Salary)		Fiscal Year 2025 Target Bonus Opportunity		Fiscal 2025 Bonus Payment Paid in Fiscal 2026 (as a percentage of Base Salary)		Fiscal Year 2025 Bonus Payment Paid in Fiscal Year 2026		Fiscal Year 2025 Bonus Payment (as a percentage of target)
Patrick Goepel	100	%	$	475,000	50	%	$	237,500	50	%
Eyal Goldstein	80	%	$	360,000	40	%	$	180,000	50	%
John Pence	70	%	$	280,000	35	%	$	140,000	50	%

EQUITY COMPENSATION

For fiscal year 2025, the equity compensation issued to each of our named executive officers consisted of an equal mix of RSUs, which vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period, and PSUs, which amount settles based on the achievement of certain performance measures described below and subsequently vest over a three-year period. The Compensation Committee believes that providing a substantial amount of compensation in the form of equity, with a mix of RSUs and PSUs, appropriately aligns the interests of our named executive officers with stockholders.

The Compensation Committee believes that time-based RSUs vesting over a three-year period support retention of our named executive officers and focuses them on the Company’s long-term success. For fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee determined that our named executive officers would be granted the following RSUs under the 2018 Plan as of January 1, 2025 (the “Grant Date”):


Named Executive Officer	Fair Value of Award(1)		Number of Shares Granted(2)
Patrick Goepel	$	757,600	80,000
Eyal Goldstein	$	530,320	56,000
John Pence	$	378,800	40,000

(1) The fair value of each award was determined by multiplying the number of shares granted by the closing price of our common stock on the Grant Date.

(2) Vest one-third on the first anniversary of the Grant Date and in eight quarterly installments thereafter, subject to continued service through each applicable vesting date.

The Compensation Committee includes PSUs in its compensation structure as an emphasis on pay for performance. Named executive officers receive a target grant of PSUs which settle in RSUs based on the achievement of corporate goals, similar to the Annual Bonus Plan. Following settlement, the PSUs vest over a three-year period.

For fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee granted PSUs that convert into RSUs between 0% and 200% as of the Grant Date. The Compensation Committee established the corporate performance measures set forth in the table below based 50% upon Recurring Revenue and 50% upon Non-GAAP Gross Profit targets to determine the conversion rate of granted PSUs. The Compensation Committee believes that achievement of Recurring Revenue and Non-GAAP Gross Profit targets are important indicators of Company performance and that prioritizing these measures supports our long-term success.


Achievement Level	Recurring Revenue		Non-GAAP Gross Profit(1)		Corresponding Payout as % of Target (for each metric)
Threshold	$	128,000,000	$	90,000,000	50	%
Target	$	135,000,000	$	97,000,000	100	%
Maximum	$	142,000,000	$	104,000,000	200	%

(1) Non-GAAP Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses to measure its performance. See the Company’s current report on Form 8-K furnished with the SEC on February 26, 2026, for information about how the Company calculates non-GAAP Gross Profit.

In selecting these target amounts, the Compensation Committee sought to motivate our named executive officers without encouraging undue risk taking. Based on actual performance for fiscal year 2024, the Company achieved $127,288,000 in Recurring Revenue and $102,971,000 in Non-GAAP Gross Profit. Therefore, our named executive officers were eligible for a payout at approximately 90% of target, as they had exceeded the target achievement level for non-GAAP gross profit but were short of the threshold achievement level for recurring revenue.

However, the Compensation Committee determined that since the level of achievement reached was materially impacted by the business combination that took place during fiscal year 2025 and since that transaction was not considered when establishing the performance metrics and targets, it was in the best interest of the Company to adjust the performance targets for the conversion of the PSUs. As a result, the Compensation Committee determined that the PSUs granted to our named executive officers would convert to the following amounts of RSUs, which were paid on February 26, 2026 (the “Final Payment Date”):


Named Executive Officer	Fair Value of Target Award(1)		Target Number of Shares Granted	Fair Value of Paid Award(1)		Paid Number of Shares Granted(2)	Fiscal Year 2025 PSUs Paid (as a percentage of target)
Patrick Goepel	$	1,136,400	120,000	$	1,136,400	120,000	100	%
Eyal Goldstein	$	795,480	84,000	$	795,480	84,000	100	%
John Pence	$	568,200	60,000	$	568,200	60,000	100	%

(1) The fair value of each award was determined by multiplying the number of shares granted by the closing price of our common stock on the Grant Date.

(2) Vest 38.89% on the Final Payment Date and in equal installments on the first of each calendar month thereafter through January 1, 2028, Date subject to continued service through each applicable vesting date.

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards

Neither the Board nor the Compensation Committee takes material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing or terms of equity awards, including with respect to options, nor do we time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to the timing of our equity award grants, the Compensation Committee has generally granted such awards once a year to directors and executive officers. In addition to the annual grants of equity awards, equity awards may be granted at other times during the year to newly hired or promoted employees, and in other special circumstances. In 2025, we did not grant any stock options, stock appreciation rights, or similar option-like instruments.

OTHER ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION

Retirement Savings and Health and Welfare Benefits

We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including our named executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. In February 2025, the Compensation Committee approved a discretionary Profit Sharing Contribution for 2026 of $21,600 per executive officer to be funded consistent with the Company’s standard 401(k) non-elective safe harbor contribution. In addition, all of our full-time employees, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans, including medical, dental and vision benefits; medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts; short-term and long-term disability insurance; and life and AD&D insurance.

Perquisites, Tax Gross-Ups and Other Personal Benefits

Except as provided in the Summary Compensation Table under “All Other Compensation,” we do not provide perquisites, tax gross-ups or other personal benefits to our named executive officers.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

We are party to an offer letter with each of our named executive officers, other than Mr. Goepel, pursuant to which we require our named executive officers to enter into our standard confidentiality agreement and establish the named executive officer’s initial base salary, discretionary bonus eligibility and benefit entitlements.

We entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Goepel in August 2011. Under the employment agreement, we provided for Mr. Goepel to be paid an annual base salary, to be eligible to receive a discretionary annual bonus, for certain benefit entitlements and for an initial equity award grant in the form of a stock option. Under the employment agreement, in the event Mr. Goepel’s employment is terminated by us for other than cause, he is entitled to receive six months of base salary.

In December 2017, our Compensation Committee adopted the Company’s Executive Change in Control Severance Plan (the “CIC Plan”). Under the CIC Plan, in the event we terminate the employment of a named executive officer without cause or a named executive officer resigns for good reason, in each case, during the twelve month period commencing on a change in control (or within 90 days prior to the change in control if such termination is at the request of the third party effecting the change in control), the Company will (i) continue to pay the named executive officer his or her base salary for 12 months, (ii) a pro-rated target bonus, (iii) continued health care coverage for up to 12 months, (iv) full accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards and (v) each option shall remain exercisable for its full term. Any such severance benefits are subject to the named executive officer providing the Company a general release of claims. Severance payable to Mr. Goepel under the CIC Plan will be reduced by any severance paid in connection with his amended and restated employment agreement.

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table

Our board and Compensation Committee generally seek to align the interests of stockholders with our named executive officers by incentivizing long-term performance and through the use of short-term cash incentives. Therefore, we do not specifically align our performance measures with “compensation actually paid” (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year and the Compensation Committee did not consider this information in making its executive compensation decisions. Instead our executives were paid in the years presented above based on the achievement of annual corporate goals, which are focused on driving recurring revenue and adjusted EBITDA generation. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial metric to encourage activities that support long-term performance of total stockholder return, our executives are compensated at least annually with service-based restricted stock units or stock options to ensure that their interests are aligned with those of our stockholders. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay Versus Performance table.

Compensation Actually Paid and Net Loss

The Company does not look to net loss as a performance measure for its executive compensation program and instead looks at other financial metrics, such as recurring revenue and adjusted EBITDA (which is a non-GAAP number) to evaluate the Company’s performance. From 2023 to 2025 the Company went from having a net loss of $9,214,000 in 2023, to a net loss of $11,773,000 in 2024, and to a net loss of $13,126,000 in 2025. Compensation actually paid for both our PEO and non-PEO NEOs decreased from 2023 to 2024 and increased from 2024 to 2025, but overall decreased from 2023 to 2025. The changes in compensation actually paid to our named executive officers from 2023 to 2025 generally reflects cash bonuses and performance-based equity granted for the achievement of annual corporate and strategic objectives. The differences in compensation actually paid to our named executive officers compared to the summary compensation table primarily reflects the changes in the value of our common stock as compared to the grant date fair value of their equity awards.

Compensation Actually Paid and Cumulative TSR

We utilize several performance measures to align executive compensation with the Company’s performance, but historically have not used financial performance measures such as total shareholder return. As described under the Narrative to Summary Compensation Table section of this Proxy Statement, part of the compensation our NEOs are eligible to receive consists of annual performance-based cash bonuses and equity awards that are designed to provide appropriate incentives to our executives to achieve defined annual corporate goals. The Board believes that the key performance measurements are recurring revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA generation and we align our performance metrics and payment of incentives to our NEOs based on these metrics, which the Company believes are the primary drivers that would impact the Company’s enterprise valuation and therefore, ultimately, total stockholder return.

APPROVAL OF TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

The board of directors reviews all transactions involving the Company in which any of our directors, director nominees, significant stockholders and executive officers and their immediate family members are participants to determine whether such person has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction. No directors or officers were involved in a transaction that exceeded $120,000. All directors, director nominees and executive officers must notify us of any proposed transaction involving us in which such person has a direct or indirect material interest. Such proposed transaction is then reviewed by either the Audit Committee or a special committee of independent directors, which determines whether or not to approve the transaction. After such review, the reviewing body approves the transaction only if it determines that the transaction is in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Review and approval of such transactions fall under Section D(2) of the Company’s Audit Committee Charter.

OTHER MATTERS

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Company’s common stock (“10% Stockholders”) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and Nasdaq. Such officers, directors, and 10% Stockholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely upon information provided to the Company by individual officers, directors, and 10% Stockholders, Asure believes that all of these filing requirements were satisfied by the Company’s officers, directors, and 10% Stockholders in calendar year 2025, except for the following: Patrick Goepel did not timely file one Form 4 in March 2025 reporting one transaction concerning the conversion of PSU awards to RSUs; Eyal Goldstein did not timely file one Form 4 in March 2025 reporting one transaction concerning the conversion of PSU awards to RSUs; John Pence did not timely file two Form 4s in March 2025 reporting two transactions concerning the conversion of PSU awards to RSUs and the payment of tax liability associated with such conversion; Benjamin Allen did not timely file one Form 4 in March 2025 reporting one transaction concerning the grant of RSUs; W.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

A stockholder seeking to include a proposal in our proxy statement and form of proxy card for the 2027 Annual Meeting must submit such proposal to us by November 30, 2026. Stockholder proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement must comply with SEC Rule 14a-8 and should be addressed to: Corporate Secretary, Asure Software, Inc., 405 Colorado Street, Suite 1800, Austin, Texas 78701. If the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting, then the deadline for inclusion of proposals in our proxy statement is a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail our proxy materials.

A stockholder may also nominate a director or bring other business before the stockholders at the 2027 Annual Meeting but must comply with the advance notice procedures in our Bylaws. In general, the Bylaws require written notice of any stockholder proposals for other business or director nominations to be delivered or mailed to and received by the Secretary at our principal executive offices at 405 Colorado Street, Suite 1800, Austin, Texas 78701 between February 11, 2027 and March 13, 2027, and the written notice must contain the specific information required in our Bylaws. If the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting changes by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the 2026 Annual Meeting, the written notice must be received by us no later than the close of business on the 10th day following the earlier of the date on which we first mail notice of the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting or otherwise make public disclosure of the date. Proposals for director nominees and other business submitted through this process will not be included in our proxy materials sent to stockholders prior to the meeting.

Under our Bylaws, the stockholder’s notice of a director nomination must set forth, among other things, (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as director, all information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, including such person’s written consent to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected; (b) as to the stockholder giving notice, the name and address of the person as they appear on our books and the class and number of shares beneficially owned and owned of record by the person; and (c) as to the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, the name and address of the person and the class and number of share beneficially owned by the person.

Under our Bylaws, the stockholder’s notice of a proposal for other business must set forth (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting; (ii) the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the stockholder proposing the business and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (iii) the class and number of our shares of our common stock that are owned beneficially and of record by the stockholder and by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is being made; and (iv) any material interest of the stockholder of record and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made in such business.

The above summary of our Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of our Bylaws. In addition to the notice and information requirements contained in our Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than March 13, 2027 (the 60th day prior to the first anniversary of the annual meeting for the preceding year’s annual meeting); except that, if the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting has changed by more than 30 days from the previous year, then such notice must be provided by the later of 60 days prior to the date of the annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting is first made.

PROXY SOLICITATION AND COSTS

The enclosed proxy is being solicited by the board of directors of the Company. We will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Company, including preparation, assembly, printing and mailing the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as well as hard copies of this proxy statement, the enclosed proxy card, and the enclosed annual report for fiscal year 2025 if requested. We will reimburse banks, brokers, and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their costs of sending the proxy soliciting material to our beneficial owners. Our officers, directors and other regular employees may, without additional compensation, solicit consents personally or by facsimile, telephone, e-mail, or special letter.

HOUSEHOLDING

Some banks, brokers and other record holders engage in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. “Householding” is the term used to describe the practice of delivering a single set of proxy statements and annual reports to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if a company reasonably believes the stockholders are members of the same family. This procedure reduces the volume of duplicate information stockholders receive and also reduces a company’s printing and mailing costs. We will promptly deliver an additional copy of either document to any stockholder who writes or calls us at the following address or phone number: Investor Relations, Asure Software, Inc., 405 Colorado Street, Suite 1800, Austin, Texas 78701, (512) 859-3562. Stockholders may also use the above contact information for requests from (i) individual stockholders in households currently receiving a single copy of annual reports, proxy statements, and notices of internet availability of proxy materials who wish to receive separate copies in the future and (ii) two or more stockholders in households receiving multiple copies of annual reports, proxy statements, and notices of internet availability of proxy materials who wish to receive a single copy of annual reports, proxy statements, and notices of internet availability of proxy materials in the future.

ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K

We will provide to any stockholder without charge a copy of our 2025 annual report on Form 10-K upon written request to our Secretary at Asure Software, Inc., 405 Colorado Street, Suite 1800, Austin, Texas 78701. Our annual report booklet and this proxy statement are also available online at https://investor.asuresoftware.com/financial-information.

OTHER BUSINESS

As of the date of this proxy statement, we know of no business that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting other than the items referred to in this proxy statement. If any other matter is properly brought before the Annual Meeting for action by stockholders, proxies will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the board or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in accordance with the judgment of the proxy holder.
