Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

(e)      Entry Into Amended Stock Appreciation Right Award Agreement

On May 7, 2019, Ebix, Inc. (the “ Company ”) entered into an Amended Stock Appreciation Right Award Agreement (the “ Amended SAR Agreement ”) with Robin Raina, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The Amended SAR Agreement will become effective upon final approval of the litigation settlement described below. The Amended SAR Agreement amends and replaces the Stock Appreciation Right Award Agreement between the Company and Mr. Raina dated April 10, 2018 (the “ April SAR Agreement ”), which replaced the Acquisition Bonus Agreement between the Company and Mr. Raina dated July 15, 2009 (the “ ABA ”).

In recent years, certain claims have been raised by stockholders in litigation in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “ Delaware Court of Chancery ”) challenging, among other things, the validity and interpretation of certain terms of the ABA and, subsequently, the April SAR Agreement (the “ Litigation ”). In connection with the Litigation, Mr. Raina asserted a conditional cross-claim against the Company for reformation of the ABA. The terms of the ABA generally provided that if Mr. Raina was employed by the Company upon the occurrence of: (i) an event in which more than 50% of the voting stock of the Company was sold, transferred, or exchanged, (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company, (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or (iv) the acquisition or dissolution of the Company (each, an “ Acquisition Event ”), the Company would pay Mr. Raina a cash bonus based on a formula that was disputed by Plaintiffs in the Litigation and a tax gross-up payment for excise taxes that would be imposed on Mr. Raina for the cash bonus payment. Upon the execution of the April SAR Agreement, the ABA was terminated and each party relinquished their respective rights and benefits under the ABA.

Upon the effective date of the April SAR Agreement, Mr. Raina received 5,953,975 stock appreciation rights with respect to the Company’s common shares (the “ SARs ”). Upon an Acquisition Event, each of the SARs entitled Mr. Raina to receive a cash payment from the Company equal to the excess, if any, of the net proceeds per share received in connection with the Acquisition Event over the base price of $7.95 per share. Although the SARs were not granted under the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “ Plan ”), the April SAR Agreement incorporated certain provisions of the Plan, including the provisions requiring equitable adjustment of the number of SARs and the base price in connection with certain corporate events (including stock splits). Under the terms of the April SAR Agreement, Mr. Raina would have been entitled to receive full payment with respect to the SARs if either he (i) were employed by the Company on the closing date of an Acquisition Event or (ii) had been involuntarily terminated by the Company without cause (as defined in the April SAR Agreement) within the 180-day period immediately preceding an Acquisition Event. All of the SARs would have been forfeited if Mr. Raina’s employment had been terminated for any other reason prior to the closing date of an Acquisition Event.

In addition, while Mr. Raina was employed by the Company and prior to an Acquisition Event, the April SAR Agreement provided that the Company’s Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) would determine annually whether a “shortfall” (as described below) existed as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year. In the event the Board determined that a shortfall existed, Mr. Raina would have been granted additional SARs (or, in the Board’s sole discretion, additional restricted shares or restricted stock units (each a “ Share Grant ”)) in an amount sufficient to eliminate such shortfall (each a “ Shortfall Grant ”). Under the terms of the April SAR Agreement, a shortfall existed if: (A) the sum of (i) the number of common shares deemed to be owned by Mr. Raina as of the effective date of the April SAR Agreement, plus (ii) the number of SARs granted to Mr. Raina (including any Shortfall Grants), plus (iii) the number of shares underlying any previously granted Share Grant, was less than 20% of (B) the sum of (i) the number of SARs granted to Mr. Raina (including any Shortfall Grants), plus (ii) the number of outstanding shares reported by the Company in its audited financial statements as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year. Under the terms of the April SAR Agreement, if the Board elected to make a Shortfall Grant in respect of such shortfall, such SARs would have been subject to the same terms and conditions as the SARs initially granted under the April SAR Agreement. If the Board elected to make a Share Grant in respect of such shortfall, such restricted shares or restricted stock units would have had such terms and conditions as determined by the Board, but generally would have followed the terms of the restricted shares or restricted stock units granted to other executives of the Company at or about the time of such Share Grant, but no Share Grant would have vested more rapidly than one-third of such Share Grant prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, with the remainder vesting in eight equal quarterly installments following the first anniversary of the grant date. The April SAR Agreement also provided for the Company to make tax gross-up payments for excise taxes that would be imposed on Mr. Raina in respect of any payments (other than any payments with respect to any Share Grants) made in connection with a change in control of the Company under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code.






A trial was held in the Litigation on August 20, 21 and 23, 2018. On January 23, 2019, the parties to the Litigation (the “ Parties ”) entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the “ Settlement Agreement ”) pursuant to which the Parties agreed, subject to Final Approval (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) by the Delaware Court of Chancery, to settle and resolve the Litigation pursuant to the terms set forth in the Settlement Agreement (the “ Litigation Settlement ”). A copy of the Settlement Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. Thereafter, notice of the Litigation Settlement was prepared and mailed on February 4, 2019 (the “ Notice ”).

Following a hearing held on April 5, 2019, the Delaware Court of Chancery determined that the Litigation Settlement was fair, reasonable, adequate and in the best interest of the plaintiffs, the class and the Company, and entered an Order and Final Judgment approving the Litigation Settlement. The Litigation Settlement includes, among other things, the adoption and entry into the Amended SAR Agreement, as well as certain governance measures (set forth in Exhibit B to the Settlement Agreement). The Amended SAR Agreement was negotiated as part of the Litigation Settlement and will become effective upon Final Approval of the Litigation Settlement, and includes the following changes and modifications to the April SAR Agreement:

a)
Mr. Raina will commit to continue to serve and not resign as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for at least two years following Final Approval of the Litigation Settlement;

b)
any shares paid, awarded or otherwise received by Mr. Raina as compensation after the effective date of the April SAR Agreement, including any shares received by Mr. Raina from the exercise of any options granted after the effective date of the April SAR Agreement or from the grant or vesting of any restricted shares or settlement of any restricted stock units granted after the effective date of the April SAR Agreement (but excluding any shares received as a result of the grant, vesting or settlement of any Share Grants), will be excluded from the outstanding shares for purposes of the Board’s annual shortfall determination;

c)
if an Acquisition Event occurs more than 180 days after, but not later than the tenth anniversary of, the date that Mr. Raina’s employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Amended SAR Agreement), 1,000,000 SARs will be deemed accrued and will be eligible to vest on the closing date of the Acquisition Event, which number will be increased by 750,000 SARs beginning on the first anniversary of Final Approval of the Litigation Settlement and each anniversary thereafter (subject in each case to Mr. Raina’s continued employment on each anniversary date), until 100% of the SARs (including any Shortfall Grants) have accrued and are eligible to vest on the closing date of an Acquisition Event that occurs more than 180 days after, but not later than the tenth anniversary of, the date that Mr. Raina’s employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company without Cause; provided, however, that, (i) no additional SARs will accrue following the date that Mr. Raina’s employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company without Cause, (ii) any accrued SARs will be forfeited if an Acquisition Event does not occur prior to the tenth anniversary of the date that Mr. Raina’s employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company without Cause, and (iii) all of the SARs will be forfeited if Mr. Raina’s employment terminates for any other reason prior to the closing date of an Acquisition Event; and

d)
The obligation of the Company to make tax gross-up payments for excise taxes that would be imposed on Mr. Raina in respect of any payments made in connection with a change in control of the Company will be eliminated.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended SAR Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K which is incorporated by reference herein.

WHEREAS , in connection with the Litigation, Participant asserted a cross-claim against the Company seeking reformation of the Bonus Agreement;

WHEREAS , the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide an incentive to Participant, as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to continue to contribute to the Company’s business, and in the event of any future corporate transaction that results in an Acquisition Event (as herein defined), to reward Participant appropriately for his contributions to the Company, prior to such Acquisition Event, and to further incentivize Participant to maximize the value received by the stockholders of the Company in an Acquisition Event;

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements herein contained, together with other good and valuable consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and Participant hereby agree as follows:

1.
Grant of Appreciation Rights .
(a)      The Company hereby grants to Participant 5,953,975 Stock Appreciation Rights with respect to the Common Shares (the “ Stock Appreciation Rights ”), subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, having a base value of $7.95 per Share (“ Base Price ”). Prior to any Acquisition Event, on or before March 31 of each year the Board shall determine whether a shortfall (as determined pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 1(a)) existed as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year.  In the event the Board determines that a shortfall existed and Participant is then employed by the Company, the Company shall grant Participant a number of Stock Appreciation Rights (each, a “ Shortfall Grant ”) sufficient to eliminate such shortfall. Each Shortfall Grant shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement as if granted hereunder and all references herein to Stock Appreciation Rights shall include Stock Appreciation Rights granted as part of the Shortfall Grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board, in its sole discretion, instead of granting Participant additional Stock Appreciation Rights as a Shortfall Grant, may grant him a number of RSUs or shares of Restricted Stock under the then existing stockholder-approved Company equity incentive plan (each such grant, a “ Share Grant ”) sufficient to eliminate such shortfall. Each Share Grant will have such terms and conditions as determined by the Board, but shall generally follow the terms of RSU or Restricted Stock awards granted to other executives of the Company at or about the time of such Share Grant; provided no Share Grant shall vest more rapidly than one third prior to the first anniversary of grant and the remainder in eight equal quarterly installments following the first anniversary of grant. A shortfall shall exist if the number of Participant’s Shares is less than 20% of the total of (a) the number of Stock Appreciation Rights, plus (b) the number of outstanding shares reported by the Company in its audited financial statements as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal year, minus (c) the number of shares paid, awarded or otherwise received by Participant from the Company as compensation after April 10, 2018, including any shares received as a result of Participant exercising stock options granted after April 10, 2018 or the grant or vesting of restricted stock or settlement of RSUs granted to Participant after April 10, 2018, but excluding any shares received as a result of the grant, vesting or settlement of any Share Grants (as defined herein).

(b)      Upon becoming vested in accordance with Section 2, each Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle Participant to receive a cash payment from the Company in accordance with Section 3 equal to the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds Per Share received in connection with an Acquisition Event over the Base Price.
(c)      Accrued ” with respect to the Stock Appreciations Rights means that Participant has a conditional right to vest in the Stock Appreciation Rights if the Closing Date (as defined herein) occurs more than 180 days after, but no later than the tenth anniversary of, the date that Participant has been involuntarily terminated without Cause, and does not provide Participant with any other rights.
(d)      Acquisition Event ” means the occurrence of any of the following events (or a series of related events) with respect to the Company if the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the event(s) do not retain immediately after the event(s) (in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company’s voting stock immediately before the event(s)), direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company or the entity to which the Company’s assets are transferred: (i) the direct or indirect sale or exchange in a single or series of related transactions by the stockholders of the Company of more than 50% of the voting stock



Exhibit 10.1


of the Company; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is a party; (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iv) the acquisition or dissolution of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an event shall not constitute an Acquisition Event unless it is also a “change in control event” described in Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(i).
(e)      Cause ” means any of the following: (a) Participant’s theft, dishonesty, or falsification of Company documents or records; (b) Participant’s improper use or disclosure of the Company’s confidential or proprietary information; (c) Participant’s failure or inability to perform reasonable assigned duties or to abide by the policies of the Company; (d) any material breach by Participant of any employment or contractor agreement between Participant and the Company; or (e) Participant’s conviction (including a plea of guilty or nolo contendere) of any criminal act which impairs Participant’s ability to perform Participant’s duties with the Company.
(f)      Closing Date ” means the date on which an Acquisition Event occurs. An Acquisition Event “occurs” upon the closing of all transactions necessary to consummate such Acquisition Event.
(g)      Net Proceeds Per Share ” shall be the sum of any cash consideration and the Fair Market Value of any securities received or receivable per Share by the stockholders of the Company in or by virtue of the Acquisition Event determined by the Board in its discretion.
(h)      Participant’s Shares ” means the sum of (a) the number of Stock Appreciation Rights, (b) the number of Common Shares deemed by the parties to be owned by the Participant as of the date of this Agreement, which is agreed to be 3,676,540, as adjusted for any stock splits or stock dividends, and (c) the aggregate number of Common Shares subject to, or underlying (if any Share Grants are cash settled), any Share Grants granted prior to the date of determination.
(i) “ The Fair Market Value ” of any securities received by the Company’s stockholders shall be determined as follows:
(i)      Stock Listed and Shares Traded . If such securities are listed and traded on a national securities exchange (as such term is defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) on the date of determination, the Fair Market Value per share shall be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such national securities exchange, over the twenty (20) trading day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the Closing Date. If such securities are traded in the over-the-counter market, the Fair Market Value per share shall be the average of the closing bid and asked prices on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date.
(ii)      Stock Not Listed . If such securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or, if such securities are traded in the over-the-counter market but there shall be no published closing bid and asked prices available on the date immediately prior to the Closing Date, then the Board shall determine the Fair Market Value of such securities from all relevant available facts, which may include the average of the closing bid and ask prices reflected in the over-the-counter market on a date within a reasonable period either before or after the date of determination, or opinions of independent experts as to value and may take into account any recent sales and purchases of such securities to the extent they are representative.
2.
Vesting of Appreciation Rights .
(a)      If an Acquisition Event occurs, the Stock Appreciation Rights shall vest in full on the Closing Date if Participant is an employee of the Company at such time or his employment with the Company has been involuntarily terminated without Cause within the 180-day period immediately preceding the Closing



Exhibit 10.1


Date. If an Acquisition Event occurs more than 180 days after, but no later than the tenth anniversary of, the date that Participant’s employment has been involuntarily terminated without Cause, the Stock Appreciation Rights shall vest on the Closing Date of an Acquisition Event as follows:
(i)      if Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause within one year of the Litigation Settlement becoming Final, 1,000,000 Stock Appreciation Rights shall be deemed Accrued and will vest on the Closing Date;
(ii)      if Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause on or after the first anniversary of the Litigation Settlement becoming Final, but before the second anniversary of the Litigation Settlement becoming Final, a total of 1,750,000 Stock Appreciation Rights shall be deemed Accrued and will vest on the Closing Date;
(iii)      if Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause on or after the second anniversary of the Litigation Settlement becoming Final, but before the third anniversary of the Litigation Settlement becoming Final, a total of 2,500,000 Stock Appreciation Rights shall be deemed Accrued and will vest on the Closing Date;
(iv)      if Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause on or after the third anniversary of the Litigation Settlement becoming Final, but before the fourth anniversary of the Litigation Settlement becoming Final, a total of 3,250,000 Stock Appreciation Rights shall be deemed Accrued and will vest on the Closing Date;
(v)      if Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause on or after the fourth anniversary of the Litigation Settlement becoming Final, but before the fifth anniversary of the Litigation Settlement becoming Final, a total of 4,000,000 Stock Appreciation Rights shall be deemed Accrued and will vest on the Closing Date;
(vi)      if Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause on or after the fifth anniversary of the Litigation Settlement becoming Final, but before the sixth anniversary of the Litigation Settlement becoming Final, a total of 4,750,000 Stock Appreciation Rights shall be deemed Accrued and will vest on the Closing Date;
(vii)      if Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause on or after the sixth anniversary of the Litigation Settlement becoming Final, but before the seventh anniversary of the Litigation Settlement becoming Final, a total of 5,500,000 Stock Appreciation Rights shall be deemed Accrued and will vest on the Closing Date;
(viii)      if Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause on or after the seventh anniversary of the Litigation Settlement becoming Final, a total of 5,953,975 Stock Appreciation Rights shall be deemed Accrued and will vest on the Closing Date; and
(ix)      if Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause after any Shortfall Grants in the form of Stock Appreciation Rights have been made, 296,025 of those Stock Appreciation Rights shall be deemed Accrued on the seventh anniversary of the Litigation Settlement becoming Final. Any further Stock Appreciation Rights received as a result of Shortfall Grants shall be deemed Accrued at a rate of 750,000 per year beginning on the eighth anniversary of the Litigation Settlement becoming Final until all Stock Appreciation Rights awarded pursuant to Shortfall Grants have been deemed Accrued.



Exhibit 10.1


(b)      If Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause prior to all Stock Appreciation Rights (including any Stock Appreciation Rights received as a result of Shortfall Grants) being deemed Accrued, no further Stock Appreciation Rights shall be deemed Accrued after Participant’s employment is involuntarily terminated without Cause. For the avoidance of doubt, all Stock Appreciation Rights will terminate and be forfeited upon termination of Participant’s employment at any time before the Closing Date for any reason other than an involuntary termination of employment without Cause.
(c)      For purposes of this Agreement, an involuntary termination of employment without Cause shall not include a termination of employment due to Participant’s death or total and permanent disability (as determined pursuant to Section 6.11(b) of the Plan).
(d)      Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, if the Base Price equals or exceeds the Net Proceeds Per Share as of the Closing Date, then the Stock Appreciation Rights shall automatically be canceled and forfeited without the payment of any consideration to Participant or any other Person in respect thereof.
3.
Settlement of Appreciation Rights .
(a)      Payments with respect to Stock Appreciation Rights shall be made on the same schedule as payments to the holders of the Company’s common stock in respect of the Acquisition Event on or after the Closing Date. Payments with respect to Stock Appreciation Rights shall be payable in cash, provided that Participant shall be entitled to elect to receive payment of all or any portion of the amounts payable with respect to Stock Appreciation Rights in such other consideration as shall be received per Share by the stockholders of the Company in or by virtue of such Acquisition Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall be interpreted and applied so as to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”) and Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(iv) to the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code. If Participant dies after the Closing Date, but before receiving all benefits to which he is entitled under this Agreement, Participant’s benefits under this Agreement shall be paid or issued to Participant’s Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (as herein defined) at the time(s) and in the amount(s) provided under this Agreement if Participant had not died. Participant shall, on a form designated by the Company, designate one or more death beneficiaries (each a “ Beneficiary ”). A Beneficiary designation will be effective only when a signed and dated Beneficiary designation form has been filed with the Company. If Participant is not survived by any Beneficiary, the Company shall distribute Participant’s benefits under this Agreement to the legal representatives of the estate of Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment shall be made more than five (5) years after the Closing Date and any payment due after such fifth anniversary shall be forfeited by Participant.
(b)      The Company’s only payment obligation under this Agreement is the payment to Participant for Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall not be obligated to and shall not pay Participant, Participant’s beneficiaries or any other legal representative of Participant’s estate any additional amount for any excise tax imposed on Participant, Participant’s beneficiaries or any other legal representative of Participant’s estate as a result of the Company’s payment for Participant’s Stock Appreciation Rights by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision) or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax.
4.
Continued Service Commitment . Participant agrees to continue to serve and not resign as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for at least two years after the Litigation Settlement becomes Final.
5. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial . This Agreement, and any and all disputes, claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort, statute or otherwise) directly or indirectly based upon, arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, interpretation or



Exhibit 10.1


performance of this Agreement (including any such dispute, claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) (each a “ Dispute ”), shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. The Court of Chancery of State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any action, suit or proceeding relating to or arising out of any such Dispute (a “ Covered Action ”), unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall determine that it does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in which case, any such Covered Action shall be brought in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “ Delaware Courts ”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any Covered Action except in such Delaware Courts in accordance with this Section; (ii) consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and waives any objection to the laying of venue in, such Delaware Courts and agrees not to plead or otherwise claim that any Covered Action brought therein has been brought in any inconvenient forum; and (iii) waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Covered Action. This Section remains in full force and shall survive the termination of this Agreement as set forth in Section 21 or otherwise.
6. Severability . If it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate the entire Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it enforceable or valid within the requirements of any applicable law, and, in the event such term or provision cannot be so limited, this Agreement shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provisions.
7. No Guarantee of Employment, Service or Payment . Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the existence of this Agreement or the eligibility to receive any payment under this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment or service between the Company or any of its Affiliates and Participant or to otherwise change the terms of Participant’s employment with the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall give Participant the right to be retained in the service of the Company or any of its Affiliates or to restrict the right of any of them to discipline or terminate Participant at any time (with or without cause or notice).
8. Nature of the Award . The eligibility to receive payments under this Agreement (a) constitutes a benefit that is extraordinary in nature and shall not provide for any additional direct or indirect allowance under any applicable contract or national collective bargaining agreement, except to the extent required by applicable law; (b) shall not constitute a condition for a future grant of additional similar economic benefits or benefits of another nature; and (c) does not grant to Participant a right to take part in any other incentive systems that may be implemented or any other remuneration of any nature whatsoever.
9. Unfunded Agreement; Participant’s Rights Unsecured and Unfunded . This Agreement is intended to be an unfunded arrangement. All rights of Participant to receive a payment under this Agreement are unfunded and unsecured and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates is required to set aside money or any other property to fund any obligations under this Agreement, and any amounts that may be so set aside prior to payment under the terms of this Agreement remain the property of the entity setting the amounts aside.
10. Transfer and Assignment; Third Party Rights .
(a)      Subject to the provisions of applicable law, without the prior consent of the Company, no interest of Participant in, or right to receive a benefit or payment under, this Agreement shall be subject in any manner to sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment, or other alienation or encumbrance of any kind.
(b)      Nothing express or implied in this Agreement is intended or may be construed to give any Person other than Participant any rights or remedies under this Agreement except as agreed in advance by the Company and specifically set forth herein.



Exhibit 10.1


11.
Taxes . To the extent required by applicable law, all payments under this Agreement shall be subject to applicable taxes or social security or national insurance deductions (or similar taxes, deductions or contributions under applicable law).

Defendant Released Persons (collectively with Plaintiff Releasing Persons, the “Releasing Persons”) finally and fully release any and all claims that they may have or could have asserted against the Plaintiff Releasing Persons or their Counsel (“Plaintiff Released Persons”) arising out of the initiation, litigation and resolution of the Action (“Defendants’ Released Claims”), and shall forever be barred and enjoined from commencing, instituting or prosecuting any of the Defendants’ Released Claims against any of the Plaintiff Released Persons. Defendants’ Released Claims, however, shall not include the right to enforce the Settlement.
13. The Settlement is intended to extinguish all Released Claims and, consistent with such intentions, the foregoing Released Claims by the Releasing Persons shall be deemed to include a waiver of their rights to the extent permitted by state law, federal law, foreign law, or any principle of common law that may have the effect of limiting the releases set forth above. This shall include a waiver by the Releasing Persons of (i) any rights pursuant to § 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides:



Exhibit 99.1

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

and (ii) any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by any law of the United States or state or territory of the United States or principle of common law or foreign law which is similar, comparable or equivalent to § 1542 of the California Civil Code. The Releasing Persons acknowledge that they may discover facts in addition to or different from those that they now know or believe to be true with respect to the subject matter of this release, but that it is their intention, as Plaintiffs and on behalf of the Plaintiff Releasing Persons and as Defendants on behalf of the Defendant Released Persons, to fully, finally and forever settle and release any and all claims released hereby, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which now exist or heretofore existed, and without regard to any additional or different facts learned in subsequent discovery.
CONDITIONS OF THE SETTLEMENT
14. The Stipulation shall be null and void and of no force and effect, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties pursuant to Paragraph 26, if:
(a) any of the material conditions set forth herein, including (i) executing the Amended SAR Agreement between Ebix and Raina in Exhibit A, (ii) implementing the governance measures in Exhibit B, and (iii) providing the disclosure in Exhibit C, are not satisfied; or



Exhibit 99.1

(b) the Settlement does not receive Final Approval and, in connection therewith, each of the following:
(i) the dismissal in its entirety with prejudice of the Action against all Defendants; and
(ii) the entry of a final judgment in the Action in the form of Exhibit F approving the Settlement, or such other form as may be agreed among the parties and approved by the Court, providing for the dismissal with prejudice of the Action, approving the grant of a release by the Class to the Defendant Released Persons of the Plaintiffs’ Released Claims, and enjoining all members of the Class or Plaintiff Releasing Persons from asserting any of the Plaintiffs’ Released Claims.
In any such event, this Stipulation shall not be deemed to prejudice in any way the respective positions of the parties with regard to the Action and all of the parties to this Stipulation shall be deemed to have reverted to their respective litigation status immediately prior to January 23, 2019, and all of the parties shall proceed in all respects as if the Stipulation had not been executed.
15. Whether or not Final Approval is obtained, the existence of this Stipulation, its contents or any negotiations, statements or proceedings in connection therewith or in connection with the Settlement, shall not be construed as, or deemed evidence of, a presumption, concession or admission by Plaintiffs or Defendants or any other person of any fault, liability or wrongdoing or the lack of any fault, liability or wrongdoing as to any facts or claims alleged or asserted in the Action or in any other action or proceeding (whether civil, criminal or administrative). The existence of this



Exhibit 99.1

Stipulation, its contents and any negotiations, statements or proceedings in connection therewith or in connection with the Settlement shall not be offered or admissible as evidence or referred to, invoked or otherwise used by any person for any purpose in the Action or in any other action or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, or administrative), except as may be necessary (i) to enforce or obtain Final Approval; (ii) to seek a stay of this Action; or (iii) to explain to the Court or any member of the Class why the Settlement was not consummated in the event that it is terminated. This provision shall remain in force in the event the Settlement is terminated.
ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES
16. Plaintiffs’ Counsel intend to apply to the Court for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses for the benefits conferred upon Ebix and the Class through and as a result of this Action, including this Settlement (“Fee Application”).  All such fees and expenses that are awarded by the Court (the “Fee Award”) shall be paid solely by Ebix or Ebix’s insurance carriers, and from no other source, within twenty (20) business days of entry of an Order approving such award notwithstanding the existence of objections thereto, or the potential for appeal therefrom, subject to Plaintiffs’ Counsel’s joint and several obligation to repay such fees and expenses in full in the event that one of the conditions set forth in Paragraph 13 above is not satisfied or in the event of reversal of such an award or in the appropriate amount in the event of reduction of such an award.  Ebix reserves the right to oppose the Fee Application. The parties agree that any agreement or approval of an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses shall not be a condition to final approval of the Settlement.  Any failure of the Court to approve



Exhibit 99.1

the Settlement shall not preclude Plaintiffs’ Counsel from applying for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses on grounds of mootness, and Defendants reserve the right to oppose any such mootness-fee application.
17. Except as specifically provided herein, Defendants shall bear no expenses, costs, damages, or fees alleged or incurred by Plaintiffs or any member of the Class, or by any of their attorneys, experts, advisors, agents, or representatives. Any dispute regarding any allocation of fees or expenses among Plaintiffs’ Counsel, or any other counsel representing or purporting to represent Plaintiffs or any other member of the Class or any other counsel asserting a right to recover any portion of the Fee Application shall have no effect on the Settlement. Court approval of the Settlement is not in any way conditioned on Court approval of Plaintiffs’ Counsel’s Fee Application.
REASONABLE BEST EFFORTS
18. The parties and their respective counsel further agree to cooperate fully with one another and to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the Court’s approval of this Stipulation and the Settlement (including, but not limited to, resolving any objections raised to the Settlement).
19. Without further order of the Court, the parties may agree to reasonable extensions of time to carry out the provisions of this Stipulation.
STIPULATION NOT AN ADMISSION
20. Neither this Stipulation nor any act or omission in connection therewith is intended or shall be deemed to be a presumption, concession or admission by: (i) any of the Defendants or Defendant Released Persons as to the validity of any claims,



Exhibit 99.1

causes of action or other issues that were, might be, or have been raised in the Action or in any other litigation, or to be evidence of or constitute an admission of wrongdoing or liability by any of them, and each of them expressly denies any such wrongdoing or liability; or (ii) Plaintiffs as to the infirmity of any claim or the validity of any defense, or to the amount of any damages. The existence of this Stipulation, its contents or of any negotiations, statements or proceedings in connection therewith, shall not be offered or admitted in evidence or referred to, interpreted, construed, invoked or otherwise used by any person for any purpose in the Action or otherwise, except as may be necessary to effectuate the Settlement. This provision shall remain in full force and effect in the event that the Settlement is terminated for any reason whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any of the Released Persons may file this Stipulation or any judgment or order of the Court related hereto in any other action that may be brought against them, in order to support any and all defenses or counterclaims based on res judicata , collateral estoppel, good faith settlement, judgment bar or reduction or any other theory of claim preclusion or issue preclusion or similar defense or counterclaim.
WARRANTY AND NON-ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS
21. Plaintiffs and their Counsel represent and warrant that Plaintiffs are Ebix stockholders, for which updated proof of ownership was provided to Defendants’ counsel prior to the execution of this Stipulation. Plaintiffs and their Counsel represent and warrant that Plaintiffs are members of the Class. Plaintiffs and their Counsel represent and warrant that none of Plaintiffs’ Released Claims have been assigned,



Exhibit 99.1

encumbered or in any manner transferred in whole or in part, and that neither Plaintiffs nor their Counsel will attempt to assign, encumber, or in any manner transfer, in whole or in part, any of Plaintiffs’ Released Claims.
STAY OF PROCEEDINGS
22. Upon the execution of this Stipulation, the parties agree that post-trial briefing and argument are stayed pending submission of the Settlement for the Court’s approval. The parties also agree to use their best efforts to prevent, stay or seek dismissals of, or oppose entry of any interim or final relief in favor of any member of the Class in, any other litigation against any of the parties to this Stipulation that involves, directly or indirectly, any of Plaintiffs’ Released Claims.
NO WAIVER
23. Any failure by any party to this Stipulation to insist upon the strict performance by any other party to this Stipulation or any of the provisions of this Stipulation shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions hereof, and such party to this Stipulation, notwithstanding such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance of any and all of the provisions of this Stipulation to be performed by such other party to this Stipulation.
24. No waiver, express or implied, by any party to this Stipulation of any breach or default by any other party to this Stipulation in the performance by the other party of its obligations under this Stipulation shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any other breach (whether prior, subsequent, or contemporaneous) of any of the provisions of this Stipulation.
