Exhibit 99.1

Ebix Signs Debt Extension Amendment with Existing Lenders

Johns Creek, GA – February 22, 2023 – Ebix, Inc. (NASDAQ: “Ebix”), a leading international supplier of On-Demand software and E-commerce services to the insurance, financial, healthcare, and e-learning industries, announced that it has signed an amendment (“Amendment No. 13”) to its existing credit agreement, extending the maturity date to May 23, 2023.

Amendment No. 13 provides for, among other things, an extension of the maturity date for both the revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) and the term loan (the “Term Loan”) each as existing under the Credit Agreement. It was conditioned, among other things, upon the Company (i) making a $5,000,000 prepayment of the Revolver and (ii) paying a customary consent fee.

Amendment No. 13 modifies certain repayment provisions in the Credit Agreement to provide that (i) each repayment of the Revolver shall be accompanied by a corresponding reduction of the aggregate revolving commitments, with amounts repaid on the Revolver not being available to be reborrowed and (ii) the Company shall be required to make an amortization payment on the Term Loan in an amount of $5,000,000 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023.

Amendment No. 13 will result in an approximately 1.00% per annum interest rate increase for the interest period beginning February 21, 2023 compared to the interest period ended immediately prior thereto.

“At Ebix, we run a Company with strong operating metrics and cash flows. We are aware that our operating metrics are the envy of the industry and the only thing impacting it adversely is the cost of debt. We are also aware that it is in the best interest of our shareholders and the Company, to ideally have a debt-free company or a company with minimal debt.” Ebix, Inc. President and CEO, Robin Raina said. “We are focused on maximizing shareholder value. All our decisions related to any refinancing or debt reduction efforts are driven by that core principle and this extension is a step forward in that direction.”

Robin added, “We are exploring many strategic steps including an expeditious EbixCash IPO (once DRHP is approved) or/and certain other strategic initiatives, in consultation with our Indian and US investment bankers. We are focused on taking the most investor friendly path while reducing or minimizing our debt. This extension allows us the time to take various steps, towards achieving that end goal.”
