CPSI 2018 Proxy Statement

1 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING Why is the Company soliciting my proxy? The Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at The Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel & Spa, 26 North Royal Street, Mobile, Alabama 36602, on Monday, April 30, 2018 at 8:00 a.m., Central Time, and any adjournments of the meeting, which we refer to as the “Annual Meeting.” This Proxy Statement along with the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders summarizes the purposes of the meeting and the information you need to know to vote at the Annual Meeting. Why did I receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials? In accordance with rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials to each stockholder of record, we are furnishing proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our 2017 Annual Report to Stockholders, by providing access to such documents on the Internet. Stockholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless they request them. Instead, commencing on or about March 16, 2018, a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) was sent to our stockholders which instructs you on how to access and review the proxy materials on the Internet. The Notice also instructs you on how to submit your proxy via the Internet or by telephone. If you would like to receive a paper or email copy of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions for requesting such materials in the Notice. Why am I receiving these materials? Our Board is providing these proxy materials to you on the Internet or, upon your request, will deliver printed versions of these materials to you by mail, in connection with the Annual Meeting, which will take place on April 30, 2018. Stockholders are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. What is included in these materials? These proxy materials include: • our Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting; and • our 2017 Annual Report to Stockholders, which includes our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our audited consolidated financial statements. If you request printed versions of these materials by mail, these materials will also include the proxy card for the Annual Meeting. What proposals will be voted on at the Annual Meeting? At the Annual Meeting, we will ask you to: Proposal 1: Elect three Class I directors to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company for a three-year term expiring at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; Proposal 2: Approve on an advisory basis the compensation of our NEOs, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, executive compensation tables and accompanying narrative in this Proxy Statement; and Proposal 3: Ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2018.
