GRB 160509A contains two emission episodes: 0-40s and 280-420s after the burst onset (t0). The relatively high fluence of GRB 160509A allows us to establish an evolving spectrum above 100 MeV. During the first emission episode, the >100 MeV spectrum is soft with \\Gamma=>3.0, which can be smoothly connected to keV energies with a Band function with a high-energy cutoff. The >100 MeV spectrum rapidly changes to a hard spectrum with \\Gamma<=1.5 after t0+40s.
