Item 7.01               Regulation FD Disclosure.
On December 21, 2018, Ebix announced that its shareholders had approved by a wide margin an increase in the Company’s Authorized shares to 220 million from 120 million. Approval for the increase in authorized shares was required to provide a sufficient number of authorized shares to effectuate a split of Ebix’s common stock approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. Also, announced was its intentions to still implement a split of its common stock, in light of the decline in Ebix’s share price since the end of September, the Company has elected to delay such action until its share price has rebounded to a level where a stock split would result in a higher post-split share price. Additionally, the Company may consider implementing an alternative stock split ratio, such as two-, three- or four-for one, depending on the prevailing share price, market conditions and other factors.

Ebix also issued an update on its Share repurchase plan while declaring that since October 1, 2018, the Company has repurchased 966,773 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate amount of $47.4 million. Based on these repurchases as of today, Ebix expects its diluted share count for Q1 2019 to be approximately 30.65 million.


On December 21, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing the details regarding an update on it's share repurchases and plans for a proposed stock split.
