Press Release - December 14th 2011

PORTSMOUTH, NH – Dec. 14, 2010 – Bottomline Technologies (NASDAQ: EPAY) today announced that the company has been chosen by Business NH Magazine as one of its 2010 “Best Companies to Work For.” The annual competition recognises organisations whose innovative programs and benefits place them at the top of all employers in New Hampshire. Business NH Magazine has recognised Bottomline as a top employer in the past, and this year identified the company as one of the three best large companies to work for.

Each year Business NH Magazine’s judges identify 10 organisations from across the state as a “Best Company to Work For.” They recognise companies whose employees take pride in the work they do, grow and thrive professionally, and contribute deeply to the company’s overall success.

 “We are happy to see Bottomline recognised for a second year. Bottomline has several innovative programs and benefits for employees that other companies can learn from, including several incentive programs,” said Matthew Mowry, editor of Business NH Magazine.

Employees’ deep belief in Bottomline’s Guiding Principle of working “with and for each other,” and a shared dedication and commitment to the success of their customers differentiated the company during the selection process. Additionally, Bottomline’s competitive employee benefits package, numerous recognition programs, dedication to employees’ development and commitment to the communities where employees live and work, were all supporting factors in this recognition. Today, the company has a global workforce of more than 750 employees, including approximately 270 based at the company’s Portsmouth, N.H., headquarters.

“We are honored and excited to be recognised by Business NH Magazine as a ‘Best Company to Work For,’” said Rob Eberle, president and CEO of Bottomline Technologies. “Our employees’ talent, dedication, passion and commitment to the success of our customers are a source of tremendous pride, a competitive advantage and the key driver behind our continued growth.”
