Berman Tabacco Investigates Potential Securities Law Violations by Ebix, Inc. (EBIX) on Behalf of Shareholders with Investment Losses

Boston, Massachusetts--(Newsfile Corp. - February 23, 2021) - Berman Tabacco, a national law firm representing investors, is investigating potential violations of the federal securities laws by Ebix, Inc. ("Ebix" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: EBIX) and its officers and directors. Ebix is an "international supplier of On-Demand software and E-commerce services to the insurance, financial, healthcare and e-learning industries."

On February 19, 2021, after the market closed, Ebix issued a press release disclosing that RSM US LLP ("RSM"), the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, had notified the Company's Audit Committee of the Board of Directors by letter dated February 15, 2021, of its resignation.

Ebix's press release revealed that "RSM stated in its letter that its resignation was the 'result of being 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.'" The Company also stated that "RSM also informed the Company that there was a disagreement with respect to the classification of $30 million held in a trust account for the benefit of the Company. In connection with a pending acquisition, in December 2020 the Company transferred $30 million to a trust account of its outside legal counsel."

On February 22, 2021, a securities class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in a case captioned Teifke v. Ebix, Inc., et al., (Case No. 1:21-cv-01589), on behalf of "persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired" Ebix securities between November 9, 2020 and February 19, 2021.
