ITEM 8.01          OTHER EVENTS

Update Regarding Discussions with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

As previously disclosed by NIC Inc. (the “Company”) in Note 1 in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013, filed with the SEC on August 1, 2013, the Company has not collected amounts due from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Commonwealth”) totaling approximately $5.1 million for eGovernment services provided by the Company’s subsidiary, Pennsylvania Interactive, LLC, from January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013.  Due to recent developments, including discussions with Commonwealth officials, on September 6, 2013, the Company elected not to pursue collection of outstanding accounts receivable from the Commonwealth and to record a non-cash pre-tax charge of approximately $5.1 million (approximately $0.05 per share on an after-tax basis) in the third quarter of 2013 to write off amounts due from the Commonwealth.  The Company does not believe this impairment charge will result in any future cash expenditures required to be estimated pursuant to Item 2.06(c), and currently expects to meet or exceed the high end of its previously issued total revenues and earnings estimates for the 2013 fiscal year.

The Company continues to operate in good faith and provide eGovernment services under the contract with the Commonwealth, but will not recognize revenues under the contract subsequent to June 30, 2013 until the contract has become self-funded, which the Company currently expects to occur in the fourth quarter of 2013.
