AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - June 1, 2009) - Asure Software (NASDAQ: [ ASUR ]) -- The Board of Directors has unanimously voted to cancel the Special Stockholders Meeting scheduled for June 2, 2009. The meeting was originally called for the purpose of allowing the stockholders to vote on the Board's proposal to privatize the company which, in the Board's estimation, would save the company in excess of $1 Million a year in expense for support and services related to being publicly traded and listed on NASDAQ. While there is in fact substantial Stockholder support for the Board's proposal, based on the total Stockholder Proxies received to date, it is apparent that the proposal will not receive sufficient votes to carry, due in large part to Stockholder concerns about the loss of liquidity. As a substantial majority of the Stockholders have now made their preference known, the Board has decided to cancel the meeting in order to save the associated expenses.

In addition, the company announced that it will hold its annual shareholder meeting on July 30, 2009.
