Background on the Ebix Securities Class Litigation
Ebix, headquartered in Johns Creek, Georgia, supplies infrastructure exchanges to the insurance, financial, travel, cash remittances, and healthcare industries. The action alleges that, during the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose to investors that (1) there was insufficient audit evidence to determine the business purpose of certain transactions in Ebix's gift card business in India during the fourth quarter of 2020; (2) there was a material weakness in Ebix's internal controls over the gift or prepaid revenue transaction cycle; and (3) Ebix's independent auditor was likely to resign over disagreements with the Company over $30 million that had been transferred into a commingled trust account of Ebix's outside legal counsel.

On February 19, 2021, following the close of the market, Ebix announced the sudden resignation of its independent auditor, RSM US LLP ("RSM"), which had been "unable, despite repeated inquiries, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence that would allow it to evaluate the business purpose of significant unusual transactions that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2020." These "significant unusual transactions" were connected to Ebix's gift card business in India which was a critical part of Ebix's portfolio. In addition, RSM disclosed that "management did not design or implement the necessary procedures and controls over the gift or prepaid card revenue transaction cycle sufficient to prevent or detect a material misstatement." The Company and RSM also allegedly disagreed over whether to classify $30 million that had been transferred into a commingled trust account of Ebix's outside legal counsel in December 2020 as cash on Ebix's balance sheet. On this news, Ebix's stock price fell $20.24 per share, or approximately 40%, from its closing price of $50.74 on February 21, 2021, to close at $30.50 on February 22, 2021, on unusually heavy trading volume.
