Tyler Technologies announces planned board chair transition in 2026

Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:TYL) announced Wednesday that John S. Marr, Jr. has informed the company’s board of directors of his decision to end his tenure on the board effective May 5, 2026, immediately following the company’s 2026 annual meeting of shareholders. Mr. Marr will not stand for reelection at that meeting and will continue in his current role until that time.

Mr. Marr has served as executive chair of the board and chair of the executive committee since May 2018, chair of the board from January 2017 to May 2018, and as a director since May 2002. According to the company’s statement, his decision was not due to any disagreements with Tyler Technologies regarding operations, policies, or practices. Mr. Marr submitted a letter memorializing his decision, as required by the company’s corporate governance guidelines.

Following Mr. Marr’s departure, and assuming all other current directors stand for reelection, the board is expected to reduce its size from eight to seven members, which is permitted under company guidelines. The nominating and governance committee will continue to evaluate potential candidates for the board as needed.

The independent directors of the board have unanimously agreed to nominate H. Lynn Moore, Jr., currently president and chief executive officer, to assume the role of board chair at the 2026 annual meeting. The company’s guidelines allow one person to serve as both board chair and CEO, a structure previously held by Mr. Marr. The board also intends to continue appointing a lead independent director for as long as the board chair is not independent.
