WHEREAS, the Company and the Rights Agent are parties to the Rights Agreement;

WHEREAS, Section 28 of the Rights Agreement provides that at any time when the Rights are not redeemable, the Company and the Rights Agent may, from time to time, supplement or amend the Rights Agreement without the approval of any holders of Rights Certificates in any manner that the Company may deem necessary or desirable;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that it is desirable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to amend the Rights Agreement as provided herein; and

WHEREAS, all acts and things necessary to make this Amendment a valid agreement according to its terms have been done and performed, and the execution and delivery of this Amendment by the Company and the Rights Agent have been in all respects authorized by the Company and the Rights Agent.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Rights Agent hereby agree as follows:

1. Addition of New Defined Terms. The following definition is hereby added to Section 1 of the Rights Agreement:

“(www) “Triggering Percentage” shall mean 15 percent (15%).”

2. Restatement of Defined Terms. Each of the following definitions set forth in Section 1 of the Rights Agreement is hereby restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(yyy) “Trust Agreement” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 24(a) hereof.”

3. Amendment.

4. Effect of Amendment. It is the intent of the Company and the Rights Agent that this Amendment constitutes an amendment of the Rights Agreement, as contemplated by Section 28 of the Rights Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, the terms of the Rights Agreement remain in full force and effect. Unless the context clearly provides otherwise, any reference to “this Agreement” or the “Rights Agreement” shall be deemed to be a reference to the Rights Agreement, as amended hereby.

5. Benefits of this Amendment. Nothing in this Amendment shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company, the Rights Agent and the holders of the Rights any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Amendment and this Amendment shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Rights Agent and the holders of the Rights.

6. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Amendment, the Rights Agreement or the Rights is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, null and void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Amendment, the Rights Agreement and the Rights will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Amendment, the Rights Agreement or the Rights to the contrary, if any such term, provision, covenant or restriction is held by such court or authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable and the Board determines in good faith judgment that severing the invalid language from this Amendment, the Rights Agreement or the Rights would adversely affect the purpose or effect of this Amendment or the Rights Agreement, the right of redemption set forth in Section 23 of the Rights Agreement will be reinstated and shall not expire until the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date of such determination by the Board; provided, further, that if any such severed term, provision, covenant or restriction shall materially and adversely affect the rights, immunities, liabilities, duties or obligations of the Rights Agent, the Rights Agent shall be entitled to resign immediately upon written notice to the Company.

The Company and each holder of Rights hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if such court shall lack subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment.

8. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Exhibit 99.1

TRUBRIDGE AMENDS LIMITED DURATION STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN, INCREASING THRESHOLD TO 15%

MOBILE, Ala., April 23, 2024 — TruBridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: TBRG) (the “Company”), a healthcare solutions company, announced today that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has approved an amendment to the Company’s recently adopted limited duration stockholders rights plan (“Rights Plan”), increasing the ownership threshold at which a person, entity or group would trigger the Rights Plan from 10% to 15%. All other terms and conditions of the Rights Plan previously adopted on March 26, 2024 remain unchanged.

The Board determined to amend the Rights Plan after having had the opportunity to engage with its stockholders and carefully consider their input as well as the feedback of governance professionals. The Board appreciates the ongoing dialogue with its stockholders and believes the amended Rights Plan continues to position the Board to fulfill its duties by ensuring that it has sufficient time to make informed judgments that are in the best interests of the Company and all of its stockholders.

Under the amended Rights Plan, rights will become exercisable if a person, entity or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding common stock in a transaction not approved by the Board. In the event that the rights become exercisable, each right would entitle its holder (other than the person, entity or group triggering the Rights Plan, whose rights would become void and would not be exercisable) to buy at the exercise price additional shares of common stock having a market value equal to twice the exercise price. The Board may, at its option, redeem all rights for $0.001 per right at any time prior to a person, entity or group acquiring beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the common stock.

All other elements of the Rights Plan remain as previously adopted, including a qualifying offer provision, which allows stockholders, under certain circumstances, to demand that the Board call a special meeting to vote on exempting a pending offer from the provisions of the Rights Plan, provided such pending offer meets certain qualifying criteria.

The amendment to the Rights Plan is effective immediately, and the Rights Plan, as amended, will continue to expire on March 25, 2025.

Details regarding the amended Rights Plan will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K being filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
