Dear Sir or Madam:

As a participant in The Retirement Plan of Agilysys, Inc. (the “Plan”), you have chosen to invest a portion of your account in common stock of Agilysys, Inc. (the “Company”). Under the Plan’s terms, you have the right to vote these shares in connection with the attached Proxy Statement.

Your vote will remain confidential. The Plan’s fund manager, Massachusetts Mutual Financial Group, independently receives, reviews and tallies the votes. The Company will not receive participant-specific voting results.

The Retirement Plan Committee (the “Committee”) is the fiduciary responsible for monitoring compliance with Section 404(c) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, which provides for participants and beneficiaries to exercise independent control of the investment of their interests under the Plan. In this regard, the Plan provides that:

The Plan is intended to constitute a plan described in ERISA Section 404(c) and regulations issued thereunder. The fiduciaries of the Plan may be relieved of liability for any losses that are the direct and necessary result of investment instructions given by a Participant, his Beneficiary, or an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order.

Finally, you should know how your shares will be voted if you do not direct them. The Committee’s charter provides that the Committee is responsible for “[c]ausing employer securities which have not been voted or tendered by participants and beneficiaries on whose behalf they are held in the [ ] Plan with respect to a particular vote or tender offer to be voted in the same proportion as the employer securities which have been so voted or tendered.” The Committee will follow this provision of its charter unless it determines that the Plan’s participants and beneficiaries interests dictate otherwise.

You may contact the Committee with any questions about your rights and the voting procedures at:

The Retirement Plan Committee
28925 Fountain Parkway
Solon, OH 44139
Attn: Susan Gerlach

Sincerely,

The Retirement Plan Committee
