Item 5.05 Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.

(a) On October 5, 2011, the Board of Directors of NIC Inc. (the “Company”) adopted amendments to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (“Code of Conduct”). The Company’s amended Code of Conduct is available on the Company’s website at www.egov.com under the Investors menu and Corporate Governance caption, and can be accessed directly at http://www.egov.com/Investors/CorporateGov/Pages/BusinessAndEthics.aspx.

A number of the amendments to the Code of Conduct involve changes in language, appearance and style, including the addition of frequently asked questions, all of which are designed to enhance readers’ understanding of its provisions. The Code of Conduct was also amended to reference other Company policies and clarify the procedures for reporting misconduct in accordance with the NIC Reporting Hotline policy.

The amendments took effect immediately upon adoption by the Board of Directors and did not result in any waiver, explicit or implicit, of any provision of the Company’s previous Code of Conduct.

The foregoing description does not purport to be a complete description of the amendments to the Code of Conduct and the above description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete Code of Conduct, as amended.
