FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

JACK HENRY & ASSOCIATES INCREASES COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND
22 PERCENT to $.055 PER SHARE
MONETT, Mo., January 30, 2006 _ Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (Nasdaq: JKHY)
today announced that its Board of Directors has increased the quarterly cash
dividend 22 percent to $.055 per share. The cash dividend on Jack Henry's
common stock, par value $.01 per share, is payable on March 2, 2006 to
stockholders of record as of February 16, 2006. As of January 26, 2006,
there were 91,560,148 shares of JKHY common stock outstanding.
According to Kevin D Williams, CFO of Jack Henry & Associates, "One of our
long-time corporate goals, which we established in 1990, has been to
increase dividends on an annual basis. While we have typically increased
dividends at a discount to our earnings growth, it is the opinion of our
Board of Directors that the market has not adequately rewarded our
stockholders for our earnings performance during the past couple of years.
In response, the Jack Henry Board has voted to increase our dividend by
22 percent to $.055 per quarter. The timing of this announcement during
our third fiscal quarter is consistent with our historic dividend
announcements."
