Information Required in the Registration Statement

a.The Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 filed with the Commission on August 5, 2022 pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”);

Under no circumstances will any information furnished under current items 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K be deemed incorporated herein by reference unless such Form 8-K expressly provides to the contrary.
Item 6. Indemnification of directors and officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a corporation’s board of directors to grant, and authorizes a court to award, indemnity to officers, directors and other corporate agents. As permitted by Delaware law, the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, no director will be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Pursuant to Delaware law such protection would be not available for liability:
•for any breach of a duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders;
•for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
•for any transaction from which the director derived an improper benefit; or
•for an act or omission for which the liability of a director is expressly provided by an applicable statute, including unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation also provides that if Delaware law is amended after the approval by the Registrant’s stockholders of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of the Registrant’s directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws further provide that the Registrant must indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Registrant’s amended and restated bylaws also authorize the Registrant to indemnify any of its employees or agents and authorize the Registrant to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent for any liability arising out of his or her action in that capacity, whether or not Delaware law would otherwise permit indemnification.
In addition, the Registrant’s amended and restated bylaws provide that the Registrant is required to advance expenses to its directors and officers as incurred in connection with legal proceedings against them for which they may be indemnified and that the rights conferred in the amended and restated bylaws are not exclusive.
Additionally, the Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, require the Registrant to indemnify each director and officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws for expenses such as, among other things, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by the director or executive officer in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the Registrant’s right, arising out of the person’s services as the Registrant’s director or executive officer or as the director or executive officer of any subsidiary of the Registrant or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the Registrant’s request. The Registrant also maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
Reference is made to the underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-193661), declared effective by the Commission on March 18, 2014; the underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-200448), declared effective by the Commission on December 11, 2014; and Exhibit 1.1 to the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-206941), declared effective by the Commission on September 24, 2015, in each case pursuant to which the underwriters have agreed to indemnify the Registrant’s officers and directors against certain liabilities under the 1933 Act.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
As legal counsel for Paylocity Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), we are rendering this opinion in connection with the registration on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of up to 400,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), which may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the Company’s 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2014 ESPP”).
We have examined such instruments, documents and records which we deemed relevant and necessary for the basis of our opinion hereinafter expressed. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We express no opinion concerning any law other than the law of the State of Texas, the corporation laws of the State of Delaware and the federal law of the United States. As to matters of Delaware corporation law, we have based our opinion solely upon our examination of such laws and the rules and regulations of the authorities administering such laws, all as reported in standard, unofficial compilations. We have not obtained opinions of counsel licensed to practice in jurisdictions other than the State of Texas.
Based on such examination, we are of the opinion that the Shares which may be issued under the 2014 ESPP are duly authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and, when issued against receipt of the consideration therefore in accordance with the provisions of the 2014 ESPP, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement referred to above and the use of our name wherever it appears in such Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder or Item 509 of Regulation S-K.
This opinion letter is given to you solely for use in connection with the issuance of the Shares in accordance with the Registration Statement and is not to be relied on for any other purpose. Our opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above, and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Company, the Shares or the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ DLA Piper LLP (US)
