(1) | Represents the estimated maximum number of shares of common stock of the registrant to be issued in connection with the proposed merger of A.D.A.M., Inc. (“ADAM”) with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant as described herein. The number of common shares is based upon the product obtained by multiplying (x) the maximum exchange ratio of 0.3122 by (x) the sum of the total number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of ADAM issued and outstanding and (b) the number of shares of ADAM common reserved and issuable or available for issuance pursuant to various ADAM equity plans and warrants, in each case as of October 13, 2010. In accordance with Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), this Registration Statement also shall register any additional common shares of the Registrant which may become issuable to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends, or similar transactions as provided by agreement relating to the merger. | |
(2) | Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rules 457(f)(1) and 457(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proposed maximum aggregate offering price for the Registrant’s common stock was calculated based upon the upon the market value of shares of ADAM common stock (the securities to be cancelled in the merger) in accordance with Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act as follows: the product of (x) $6.60, the average of the high and low sales prices of ADAM common stock, as quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market, on October 12, 2010, and (y) 12,006,258, the estimated maximum number of shares of ADAM common stock that may be exchanged for the shares of common stock of the registrant being registered. | |
(3) | Determined in accordance with Section 6(b) of the Securities Act at a rate equal to $71.30 per $1,000,000 of the proposed maximum aggregate offering price. |

• | Merger consideration. The ADAM board of directors considered the 0.3122 shares of the combined company that ADAM shareholders will receive for each ADAM share if the merger is consummated and the adjustments set forth in the merger agreement. The ADAM board of directors concluded that such shares are likely to deliver greater long-term value to ADAM’s shareholders than would be expected if ADAM remained independent. The ADAM board of directors also considered that the exchange ratio represented approximately 7% ownership in the combined company by ADAM shareholders on a pro forma basis and, based on the closing prices of Ebix’s and ADAM’s common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market on August 27, 2010, corresponded to a price of approximately $6.11 per share, a 93% premium to the closing price of ADAM common stock on that date. The ADAM board of directors further considered the fact that, subject only to the adjustments set forth in the merger agreement, the exchange ratio provides ADAM shareholders with certainty regarding the number of Ebix shares they will receive in connection with the merger, and allows them to benefit from any increase in the price of Ebix common stock during the pre-closing period. | ||
• | Participation in future growth; synergies. The ADAM board of directors considered the fact that ADAM shareholders will participate in the future growth of an organization with considerably greater scale and breadth than ADAM alone and will benefit from the synergies that are expected to be realized as a result of the merger. In particular, the ADAM board of directors identified as potential strategic advantages and synergies: the fact that the combined company would have a stronger presence in the health information and insurance markets than ADAM alone; the fact that Ebix has an international footprint that ADAM lacks; the fact that the combined company would offer end-to-end health and employee benefit software services; the fact that the combined company would have opportunities to cross-sell complementary services to existing clients of the two companies; the fact that both companies are based in Atlanta, which should facilitate integration and make cost synergies even more achievable; and the fact that ADAM would no longer incur the substantial costs associated with being a public company. The ADAM board of directors also considered the fact that shares of Ebix common stock to be received would be freely transferable should ADAM’s shareholders wish to sell those shares. | ||
• | Review of prospects in remaining independent. The ADAM board of directors considered ADAM’s financial condition, results of operations, and business and earnings prospects if it were to remain independent in light of various factors, including consolidation, increased competition, and regulatory and other developments occurring in the healthcare and benefits industries. The ADAM board of directors concluded that there were significant risks in remaining independent and that ADAM could best realize long-term shareholder value as part of a global enterprise with greater scale, resources and reach. | ||
• | Extensive process. Based on the ADAM board of directors’ review of ADAM’s strategic alternatives and the extensive process that the board of directors conducted during the many months prior to the signing of the merger agreement, which involved contacting a significant number of parties who were believed to have a potential interest in a strategic combination with ADAM, the board of directors considered the fact that only two potential counterparties had made a proposal for a transaction with ADAM and that there was no assurance as to when or whether another favorable opportunity to engage in a strategic combination would arise. | ||
• | Opinion of Needham & Company. The ADAM board of directors considered the financial analysis presented by Needham & Company and Needham & Company’s opinion that, as of August 29, 2010, and based upon and subject to the assumptions and other matters described in Needham & Company’s written opinion, the consideration to be received by the holders of ADAM common stock pursuant to the merger agreement was fair to those holders from a financial point of view. See “The Merger — Opinion of Financial Advisor to ADAM” beginning on page 31. | ||
• | Terms of the merger agreement. The ADAM board of directors considered the terms of the merger agreement, including the parties’ respective representations, warranties, and covenants, the conditions to their respective obligations to complete the merger and the ability of the respective parties to terminate the merger agreement. The ADAM board of directors noted that the termination or “breakup” fee provisions of the merger agreement could have the effect of discouraging alternative proposals for a business |

combination involving ADAM but that such provisions are customary for transactions of this size and type. The ADAM board of directors also considered that the $3.5 million amount of the termination fee, which amount is approximately equal to 5.3% of the equity value of ADAM at the exchange ratio based on the closing prices on August 27, 2010, was within a reasonable range, particularly in light of the process conducted by the ADAM board of directors with the assistance of Needham & Company and management. The ADAM board of directors also noted that the merger agreement permits ADAM and the ADAM board of directors to respond to a bona fide acquisition proposal that the ADAM board of directors determines is or is reasonably likely to lead to a superior proposal, subject to certain restrictions imposed by the merger agreement, and the requirement that ADAM pay Ebix the termination fee in the event that ADAM terminates the merger agreement to enter into an alternative transaction with respect to such superior proposal. | |||
• | Likelihood of closing. The ADAM board of directors considered the relatively limited nature of the closing conditions included in the merger agreement, including the likelihood that the merger would be approved by the relevant regulatory authorities and that the merger would be approved by ADAM’s shareholders. | ||
• | Tax-free merger. The ADAM board of directors considered the fact that the merger is expected to be tax-free to ADAM shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except to the extent that ADAM shareholders recognize gain on cash received instead of any fractional shares of Ebix common stock. | ||
• | Risks. The ADAM board of directors also identified and considered a number of countervailing factors and risks to ADAM, ADAM’s shareholders, and the combined company that could arise from the merger, including: |
• | the risk that the combined company will not achieve the growth or financial results anticipated or otherwise fail to deliver greater value to ADAM shareholders than they would have received had ADAM remained independent; | ||
• | the challenges and costs inherent in integrating the two businesses and the time and effort that will be required from employees of both companies to successfully complete that integration; | ||
• | the possibility that synergies may not be realized as a result of the merger or that they may be lower than expected; | ||
• | the potential loss of customers, suppliers, and employees of the combined company following the merger or of either party during the pre-closing period; | ||
• | the possibility that the merger may not be completed and the potential adverse consequences to ADAM if the merger is not completed, including the potential to depress values offered by others to ADAM in a business combination and to erode customer and employee confidence in ADAM; | ||
• | the risks associated with a fixed exchange ratio, which by its nature will not compensate ADAM shareholders for any declines in the price of Ebix’s stock prior to the completion of the merger; | ||
• | the risk that the final exchange ratio will not be known until closing and that the exchange ratio may be adjusted downward if ADAM fails to pay at or prior to closing (i) the amount of any ADAM debt owed out of ADAM’s cash on hand, (ii) the amount of expenses of ADAM’s financial advisor in excess of $650,000 out of ADAM’s cash on hand, or (iii) the amount of expenses of ADAM’s legal counsel as to this Proxy Statement out of ADAM’s cash on hand; | ||
• | the absence of any termination right in the merger agreement that would be triggered by a decrease in Ebix’s stock price (or the corresponding decrease in the value of the merger consideration to be received by ADAM shareholders); |
30
Table of Contents
• | the fact that ADAM option holders will receive cash based on a price of $5.95 per share of ADAM common stock on the date of the merger agreement, which may be higher or lower than the value to be received by ADAM shareholders at the closing; | ||
• | the limitations imposed in the merger agreement on the conduct of ADAM’s business during the pre-closing period, its ability to solicit and respond to proposals for alternative transactions, and the ability of its board of directors to change or withdraw its recommendation of the merger; | ||
• | the $3.5 million termination fee payable to Ebix if the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, and the potential effect that such termination fee may have on deterring other potential acquirers from proposing an alternative transaction that would be more advantageous to ADAM shareholders; and | ||
• | the potential conflicts of interest of ADAM’s directors and executive officers, as described in the section entitled “Interests of ADAM’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger” beginning on page 41. |
