Ramesh Srinivasan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Agilysys, Inc. (the “Company” or “Agilysys”), confirmed today that he intends to adopt a stock trading plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which he currently plans to sell up to 300,000 shares of Agilysys common stock, most or all of which are expected to be issued upon his exercise of Stock-Settled Appreciation Rights (the “Vested SSARs”), which were awarded to him on February 10, 2020 and expire on August 10, 2024. Mr. Srinivasan and his wife, Sujatha Srinivasan, have planned the sale for financial diversification, to generate funds for upcoming tax payments, to fund the trusts they have created for their children, to fund charitable contributions and for other personal purposes. This will be the first such sale of shares of Agilysys common stock by Mr. Srinivasan during his tenure with the Company, other than approximately 70,000 shares of Agilysys common stock sold in June 2021 to fund withholding tax obligations arising from the exercise of SSARs prior to expiration. Mr. Srinivasan currently intends to retain all other shares of Agilysys common stock he currently holds, including the shares of Agilysys common stock he purchased in the market between February 2017 and March 2020. Mr. Srinivasan continues to believe that the Company’s future prospects are strong, and his stake in the Company will continue to remain very significant. In addition to the shares of Agilysys common stock Ramesh and Sujatha Srinivasan currently hold, Mr. Srinivasan continues to hold unvested restricted stock units awarded to him in connection with his employment agreement signed on March 10, 2023. Mr. Srinivasan will exercise the Vested SSARs and sell the shares under the Plan in accordance with guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. He anticipates that sales under the Plan will occur between April and August 2024. Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits. d. Exhibits.
