PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

        You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement. We have not authorized anyone else to provide you with different information, and if you receive any unauthorized information you should not rely on it. We have not authorized the selling stockholders to make an offer of these shares in any place where the offer is not permitted. The information appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement is accurate only as of its date. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

Company Overview

        Ebix, Inc. ("Ebix" or the "Company") was founded in 1976 as Delphi Systems, Inc., a California corporation. In December 2003 we changed our name to Ebix, Inc. Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global market.

        We are a leading international supplier of software and e-commerce solutions to the insurance industry. We provide a series of application software products for the insurance industry ranging from carrier systems, agency systems and exchanges to custom software development for all entities involved in the insurance and financial industries.

        Our goal is to be the leading powerhouse of backend insurance transactions in the world. Our technology vision is to focus on convergence of all insurance channels, processes and entities in a manner such that data can seamlessly flow once a data entry has been made.

        We strive to work collaboratively with clients to develop innovative technology strategies and solutions that address specific business challenges. We combine the newest technologies with our capabilities in consulting, systems design and integration, IT and business process outsourcing, applications software, and Web and application hosting to meet the individual needs of organizations.

        Effective January 2, 2008 we completed the acquisition of Telstra eBusiness Services Pty Limited ("Telstra"), a premier insurance exchange located in Melbourne, Australia. The purchase price was $43.8 million and was financed with a combination of available cash reserves, proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt, proceeds from the sales of unregistered shares of our common stock, and funding from our revolving line of credit.

        On November 1, 2007, we completed the acquisition of Jenquest, Inc. ("Jenquest"), a leader in the certificate of insurance tracking industry located in Hemet, California. The purchase price was $11.25 million and was primarily financed from internal sources using our own cash reserves. Our consolidated financial statements for 2007 include the results of operations for Jenquest from November 1 through December 31, 2007.

        Effective May 2006, we completed the acquisition of Infinity Systems Consulting, Inc. ("Infinity") for an up-front payment of $2.9 million in cash and future potential payments not exceeding $4.5 million if certain revenue targets of the Infinity division were met. Effective October 2006, we acquired Finetre Corporation ("Finetre") for a cash payment of $13.0 million and future potential payments not exceeding $3.0 million if certain future revenue and operating income targets of the Finetre division were met. Our consolidated financial statements for 2006 include the results of operations for Infinity and Finetre from the effective date of the acquisitions. For 2007, our reported results include the full twelve months of the results of operations for these acquisitions completed during 2006.

        Our headquarters is in Atlanta, Georgia, and we have domestic operations in Walnut Creek and Hemet, California; Pittsburg, Pennsylvania; Park City, Utah; Herndon, Virginia and Dallas, Texas. We also have offices in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, United Kingdom and India. In these offices, we employ insurance and technology professionals who provide products, services, support and consultancy

to more than 3,000 customers on six continents. Our focus on quality has enabled our development unit in India to be awarded Level 5 status of the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute's Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI). We have also earned ISO 9001:2000 certification for both our development and our call center units in India.

Industry Overview

        The insurance industry has undergone significant consolidation over the past several years driven by the need for, and benefits from, economies of scale and scope in providing insurance in a competitive environment. The insurance markets have also seen a steady increase in the desire to reduce paper based processes and improve efficiency both at the back-end side and also at the consumer end side. Such consolidation has involved both insurance carriers and insurance brokers and is directly impacting the manner in which insurance products are distributed. Management believes the insurance industry will continue to experience significant change and increased efficiencies through online exchanges and reduced paper based processes are becoming increasingly a norm across the world insurance markets. Changes in the insurance industry are likely to create new opportunities for the Company.

Products and Service Strategy

        Our product and service strategy focuses on the following four areas: (1) worldwide sale, customization, development, implementation and support of our insurance carrier system platforms "Infinity Systems" and "Business Reinsurance and Insurance Company System ("BRICS")"; (2) worldwide sales and support of broker/agency management systems including EbixASP, eGlobal and Winbeat (3) expansion of connectivity between consumers, agents, carriers, and third party providers through our exchange family of products in the life, annuity and property & casualty sectors worldwide namely the EbixExchange family of products—WinFlex VitalSuite, AnnuityNet, LifeSpeed; and, (4) business process outsourcing services, which include certificate tracking, call center and back office support.

        Our revenue is derived primarily from the services part of our business that includes ASP services, transaction based exchanges, transaction based BPO services, professional and support services to the insurance companies, distributors, brokers and large corporate clients.

RISK FACTORS

        You should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors described below, along with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes, before you decide whether to buy shares of our common stock. Any of the following risks, among others, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition operating results, cash flows and prospects and could negatively impact the value of your investment.

Risks Related To Our Business and Industry

Because the support revenue that we have traditionally relied upon has been steadily declining, it is important that new sources of revenue continue to be developed.

        We made a strategic decision a few years back to finish reliance on legacy products and related support services and instead focus on more current technology and services. As a result, our revenue from the support services we offer in connection with our legacy software products has been decreasing over the course of the past few years. This downward trend in our support revenue makes us dependent upon our other sources of revenue.

Adverse insurance industry economics could adversely affect our revenues.

        We are dependent on the insurance industry, which may be adversely affected by economic, environmental and world political conditions.

We may not be able to secure additional financing to support capital requirements when needed.

        We may need to raise additional funds in the future in order to fund more aggressive brand promotion or more rapid market penetration, to develop new or enhanced services, to respond to competitive pressures, to make acquisitions or other purposes. Any required additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to meet our strategic business objectives or compete effectively, and our business could fail. If additional funds are raised by our issuing equity securities, stockholders may experience dilution of their ownership interests, and the newly issued securities may have rights superior to those of our common stock. If additional funds are raised by our issuing debt, we may be subject to limitations on our activities.

Our recent acquisitions of Jenquest Inc. and Telstra eBusiness Services as well as any future acquisitions that we may undertake could be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely impact our operating results.

        The acquisitions of Jenquest Inc. and Telstra eBusiness Services and other potential future acquisitions, subject the Company to a variety of risks, including risks associated with an inability to efficiently integrate acquired operations, prohibitively higher incremental cost of operations, outdated or incompatible technologies, labor difficulties, or an inability to realize anticipated synergies, whether within anticipated timeframes or at all; one or more of which risks, if realized, could have an adverse impact on our operations.

We may not be able to develop new products or services necessary to effectively respond to rapid technological changes.

        To be successful, we must adapt to rapidly changing technological and market needs, by continually enhancing and introducing new products and services to address our customers' changing demands.

3

---

        The marketplace in which we operate is characterized by:

•

rapidly changing technology;



•

evolving industry standards;



•

frequent new product and service introductions;



•

shifting distribution channels; and



•

changing customer demands.

        Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to this rapidly evolving marketplace. We could incur substantial costs if we need to modify our services or infrastructure in order to adapt to changes affecting our market, and we may be unable to effectively adapt to these changes.

The markets for our products are highly competitive and are likely to become more competitive, and our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technology and changes in customer requirements.

        We operate in highly competitive markets. In particular, the online insurance distribution market, like the broader electronic commerce market, is rapidly evolving and highly competitive. Our insurance software business also experiences competition from certain large hardware suppliers that sell systems and system components to independent agencies, and from small independent developers and suppliers of software, who sometimes work in concert with hardware vendors to supply systems to independent agencies. Our Internet business may also face indirect competition from insurance carriers that have subsidiaries which perform in-house agency and brokerage functions.

        Some of our current competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial and marketing resources than we do. In addition, we believe we will face increasing competition as the online financial services industry develops and evolves. Our current and future competitors may be able to:

•

undertake more extensive marketing campaigns for their brands and services;



•

devote more resources to website and systems development;



•

adopt more aggressive pricing policies; and



•

make more attractive offers to potential employees, online companies and third-party service providers.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, our reputation and competitiveness in the marketplace may be materially damaged.

        We regard our intellectual property in general, and our software in particular, as critical to our success. It may be possible for third parties to copy aspects of our products or, without authorization, to obtain and use information that we regard as trade secrets. Existing copyright law affords only limited practical protection, and our software is unpatented.

If we infringe on the proprietary rights of others, our business operations disrupted, and any related litigation could be time consuming and costly.

        Third parties may claim that we have violated their intellectual property rights. Any of these claims, with or without merit, could subject us to costly litigation and divert the attention of key personnel. To the extent that we violate a patent or other intellectual property right of a third party, we may be prevented from operating our business as planned, and we may be required to pay damages, to obtain a license, if available, to use the right or to use a non-infringing method, if possible, to

4

---

accomplish our objectives. The cost of such activity could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We depend on the continued services of our senior management and our ability to attract and retain other key personnel.

        Our future success is substantially dependent on the continued services and continuing contributions of our senior management and other key personnel particularly Robin Raina, our chief executive officer. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees could harm our business. We have no long-term employment agreements with any of our key personnel, nor do we maintain key man life insurance policies on any of our key employees.

        Our future success depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees. If we are not able to attract and retain key skilled personnel, our business will be harmed. Competition for personnel in our industry is intense.

Our International operations are subject to a number of risks that could affect our revenues, operating results, and growth.

        We market our products and services internationally and plan to continue to expand our Internet services to locations outside of the United States. Approximately 27% of our 2007 revenues were generated from our foreign subsidiaries. We currently conduct operations in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, and have product development activities and call center services in India. Our international operations are subject to other inherent risks which could have a material adverse effect on our business, including:

•

the impact of recessions in foreign economies on the level of consumers' insurance shopping and purchasing behavior;



•

greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable;



•

difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations;



•

reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;



•

seasonal reductions in business activity;



•

burdensome regulatory requirements;



•

trade and financing barriers, and differing business practices;



•

fluctuations in exchange rates;



•

potentially adverse tax consequences; and



•

political and economic instability.

        Furthermore, our entry into additional international markets requires significant management attention and financial resources, which could divert management's attention from existing business operations.

Our financial results may be adversely affected by the weakening U.S. Dollar and fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

        We will be exposed to currency exchange risk with respect to the U.S. dollar in relation to the foreign currencies in the countries because a significant portion of our operating expenses are incurred in foreign countries. This exposure may increase if we expand our operations in overseas. We have not entered into any hedging arrangements to protect our business against currency fluctuations. We will

5

---

monitor changes in our exposure to exchange rate risk that result from changes in our business situation. If we do not enter into effective hedging arrangements in the future, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Risks Relating to Regulation and Litigation

Federal Trade Commission laws and laws and regulations that govern the insurance industry could expose us or the agents, brokers and carriers with whom participate in our online marketplace to legal penalties.

        We perform functions for licensed insurance agents, brokers and carriers and need to comply with complex regulations that vary from state to state and nation to nation. These regulations can be difficult to comply with, and can be ambiguous and open to interpretation. If we fail to properly interpret or comply with these regulations, we, the insurance agents, brokers or carriers doing business with us, our officers, or agents with whom we contract could be subject to various sanctions, including censure, fines, cease-and-desist orders, loss of license or other penalties. This risk, as well as other laws and regulations affecting our business and changes in the regulatory climate or the enforcement or interpretation of existing law, could expose us to additional costs, including indemnification of participating insurance agents, brokers or carriers, and could require changes to our business or otherwise harm our business. Furthermore, because the application of online commerce to the consumer insurance market is relatively new, the impact of current or future regulations on our business is difficult to anticipate. To the extent that there are changes in regulations regarding the manner in which insurance is sold, our business could be adversely affected.

Risks Related to Our Conduct of Business on the Internet

Any disruption of our Internet connections could affect the success of our Internet based products.

        Any system failure, including network, software or hardware failure, that causes an interruption in our network or a decrease in the responsiveness of our website could result in reduced user traffic and reduced revenue. Continued growth in Internet usage could cause a decrease in the quality of Internet connection service. Websites have experienced service interruptions as a result of outages and other delays occurring throughout the Internet network infrastructure. In addition, there have been several incidents in which individuals have intentionally caused service disruptions of major e-commerce websites. If these outages, delays or service disruptions frequently occur in the future, usage of our website could grow more slowly than anticipated or decline, and we may lose revenues and customers.

        If the Internet data center operations that host any of our websites were to experience a system failure, the performance of our website would be harmed. These systems are also vulnerable to damage from fire, floods, earthquakes, acts of terrorism, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins and similar events. The controls implemented by our third-party service providers may not prevent or timely detect such system failures. Our property and business interruption insurance coverage may not be adequate to fully compensate us for losses that may occur. In addition, our users depend on Internet service providers, online service providers and other website operators for access to our website. Each of these providers has experienced significant outages in the past, and could experience outages, delays and other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our systems.

6

---

Concerns regarding security of transactions or the transmission of confidential information over the Internet or security problems we experience may prevent us from expanding our business or subject us to legal exposure.

        If we do not maintain sufficient security features in our online product and service offerings, our products and services may not gain market acceptance, and we could also be exposed to legal liability. Despite the measures that we have or may take, our infrastructure will be potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses or similar problems. If a person circumvents our security measures, that person could misappropriate proprietary information or disrupt or damage our operations. Security breaches that result in access to confidential information could damage our reputation and subject us to a risk of loss or liability. We may be required to make significant expenditures to protect against or remediate security breaches. Additionally, if we are unable to adequately address our customers' concerns about security, we may have difficulty selling our products and services.

Uncertainty in the marketplace regarding the use of Internet users' personal information, or legislation limiting such use, could reduce demand for our services and result in increased expenses.

        Concern among consumers and legislators regarding the use of personal information gathered from Internet users could create uncertainty in the marketplace. This could reduce demand for our services, increase the cost of doing business as a result of litigation costs or increased service delivery costs, or otherwise harm our business. Legislation has been proposed that would limit the uses of personal identification information of Internet users gathered online or require online services to establish privacy policies. Many state insurance codes limit the collection and use of personal information by insurance agencies, brokers and carriers or insurance service organizations. Moreover, the Federal Trade Commission has settled a proceeding against one online service that agreed in the settlement to limit the manner in which personal information could be collected from users and provided to third parties.

Future government regulation of the Internet could place financial burdens on our businesses.

        Because of the Internet's popularity and increasing use, new laws and regulations directed specifically at e-commerce may be adopted. These laws and regulations may cover issues such as the collection and use of data from website visitors and related privacy issues; pricing; taxation; telecommunications over the Internet; content; copyrights; distribution; and domain name piracy. The enactment of any additional laws or regulations, including international laws and regulations, could impede the growth of revenue from our Internet operations and place additional financial burdens on our business.

Risks Related To Our Common Stock

The price of our common stock may be extremely volatile.

        In some future periods, our results of operations may be below the expectations of public market investors, which could negatively affect the market price of our common stock. Furthermore, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent years. We believe that, in the future, the market price of our common stock could fluctuate widely due to variations in our performance and operating results or because of any of the following factors:

•

announcements of new services, products, technological innovations, acquisitions or strategic relationships by us or our competitors;

7

---

•

trends or conditions in the insurance, software, business process outsourcing and Internet markets;



•

changes in market valuations of our competitors; and



•

general political, economic and market conditions.

        In addition, the market prices of securities of technology companies, including our own, have been volatile and have experienced fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to a specific company's operating performance. As a result, investors may not be able to sell shares of our common stock at or above the price at which an investor purchase paid. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against that company. If any securities litigation is initiated against us, we could incur substantial costs and our management's attention could be diverted from our business.

Quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate, which could cause our stock price to be volatile.

        Our quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors that could affect our revenues or our expenses in any particular period. You should not rely on our results of operations during any particular period as an indication of our results for any other period. Factors that may adversely affect our periodic results may include the loss of a significant insurance agent, carrier or broker relationship or the merger of any of our participating insurance carriers with one another.

        Our operating expenses are based in part on our expectations of our future revenues and are partially fixed in the short term. We may be unable to adjust spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected revenue shortfall.

The significant concentration of ownership of our common stock will limit an investor's ability to influence corporate actions.

        The concentration of ownership of our common stock may limit an investor's ability to influence our corporate actions and have the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control of our company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of our company, and may affect the market price of our common stock. At March 27, 2008 Luxor Capital Group, LP beneficially owned 600,000 outstanding shares representing 18.8% of our outstanding common stock and, together with our executive officers, directors, and owners of at least 5% of our outstanding common stock, owned approximately 41.1% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, those stockholders, if they act together, are able to substantially influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of all directors and approval of significant corporate transactions and amendments to our articles of incorporation. These stockholders may use their ownership position to approve or take actions that are adverse to interests of other investors or prevent the taking of actions that are inconsistent with their respective interests.

Provisions in our articles of incorporation, bylaws, and Delaware law may make it difficult for a third party to acquire us, even in situations that may be viewed as desirable by our shareholders.

        Our articles of incorporation and bylaws, and provisions of Delaware law may delay, prevent or otherwise make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest, open market purchases, removal of incumbent directors and otherwise. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We are subject to the "business combination" provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In

8

---

general, those provisions prohibit a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in various "business combination" transactions with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:

•

The transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained interested stockholder status;



•

Upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder's becoming an interested stockholder, the stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced; or,



•

On or subsequent to the date the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

        The provisions could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change of control attempts with respect to us and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        The selling stockholders are offering all of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

        On December 13, 2007, we entered into two share purchase agreements pursuant to which The Lebowitz Family Trust and Daniel M. Gottlieb, both "accredited investors" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D, acquired 38,462 shares and 38,461 shares, respectively, of our unregistered common stock at $58.50 per share, for an aggregate offering price of $4.5 million.

        On December 18, 2007, we entered into a secured convertible note purchase agreement with Whitebox VSC, Ltd. ("Whitebox"), an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D. Pursuant to that agreement, in exchange for $20.0 million, we issued a secured convertible promissory note with an interest rate of 2.5% per annum and a maturity date of December 18, 2009, in the original principal amount of $20.0 million, convertible into our common stock at $63.84 per share, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the note. In accordance with these terms this note would be convertible into 313,283 shares of the Company's common stock. The maturity date of the note may be extended by Whitebox until December 18, 2011, if the trading price of our common stock does not exceed $75 per share for any 30 consecutive trading days prior to the Maturity Date.

        On December 20, 2007, we entered into a share purchase agreement pursuant to which The Morris M. Ostin 2006 Annuity Trust, an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D, acquired 20,000 shares of our unregistered common stock at $58.50 per share, for an aggregate offering price of $1.17 million.

        On April 2, 2008, we entered into a share purchase agreement pursuant to which Rennes Foundation, an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D, acquired 40,000 shares of our unregistered common stock at $75.70 per share, for an aggregate offering price of approximately $3.0 million. Rolf Herter, a director of the Company, is a director of Rennes Foundation.

        On April 7, 2008, we entered into a share purchase agreement pursuant to which Ashford Capital Management, Inc., a registered investment advisor, acquired 110,000 shares of our unregistered common stock at $72.87 per share, for an aggregate offering price of approximately $8.0 million. The purchase was for the account of several "accredited investors." The Company relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D promulgated thereunder in making this sale in a private placement to accredited investors who acquired the shares for investment purposes. Pursuant to the share purchase agreements, Ebix is obligated to file with the SEC a registration statement for the underlying shares of our common stock and use our reasonable best efforts to cause the SEC to declare the registration statement effective.

        On April 18, 2008, we entered into a share purchase agreement pursuant to which Fisher Funds Management, an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D, acquired 20,000 shares of our unregistered common stock at $73.75 per share, for an aggregate offering price of approximately $1.5 million.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        The shares covered by this prospectus may be offered, sold, or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus. The selling stockholders may sell their shares at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The selling stockholders reserve the right to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of shares, whether the purchase is to be made directly or through agents. We are not aware that any selling stockholder has entered into any arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of its shares of our common stock.

        The selling stockholders may offer their shares at various times in one or more of the following transactions:

•

in ordinary brokers' transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;



•

in transactions involving cross or block trades or otherwise on any national securities exchange or quotation system, such as the NASDAQ Global Market, on which our common stock may be listed or quoted;



•

in an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market;



•

in transactions in which brokers, dealers, or underwriters purchase the shares as principals and resell the shares for their own accounts pursuant to this prospectus;



•

in transactions "at the market" to or through market makers in our common stock;



•

in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales of the shares to purchasers or sales of the shares effected through agents;



•

through transactions in options, swaps, or other derivatives that may or may not be listed on an exchange;



•

in privately negotiated transactions;



•

in transactions to cover short sales; or



•

in a combination of any of the foregoing transactions.

        In addition, the selling stockholders also may sell their shares in private transactions or in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act rather than under this prospectus.

        From time to time, the selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares they own. If the selling stockholders default in performance of the secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares from time to time. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate shares in other circumstances. If the selling stockholders donate or otherwise transfer their shares, the number of shares they beneficially own will decrease as and when they take these actions. The plan of distribution for the shares offered and sold under this prospectus will otherwise remain unchanged, except that the transferees, donees, or other successors in interest will be selling stockholders for purposes of this prospectus.

        The selling stockholders may use brokers, dealers, underwriters, or agents to sell their shares. The persons acting as agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or concessions. This compensation may be paid by the selling stockholders or the purchasers of the shares for whom such persons may act as agent, or to whom they may sell as principal, or both. In addition, the broker-dealers' or their affiliates' commissions, discounts, or concessions may qualify as underwriters' compensation under the Securities Act. Neither we, nor the selling stockholders, can presently estimate the amount of that compensation. We will make copies of this prospectus and any

supplements or amendments hereto available to the selling stockholders or any of their agents or broker-dealers for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

        The selling stockholders and any other person participating in a distribution of the shares covered by this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and referred to in this prospectus as the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by the selling stockholders and any other such person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular shares being distributed for certain periods prior to the commencement of, or during, that distribution. All of the above may affect the marketability of the shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares.

        Certain of the selling stockholders will bear a small portion of the expenses of this offering. The selling stockholders will bear any underwriting discounts or commissions, brokerage fees or stock transfer taxes. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities arising in connection with this offering, including liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer, or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the shares of common stock against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

        The following description of our capital stock is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our Certificate of Incorporation, which has been previously filed with the SEC and is incorporated herein by reference. This summary is not intended to give full effect to provisions of statutory common law. We urge you to review the following documents because they, and not this summary, define your rights as a holder of shares of common stock or preferred stock:

•

The Delaware General Corporation Law, as it may be amended from time to time;



•

Our certificate of incorporation, as it has been amended to date and as it may be amended or restated from time to time, and



•

Our by-laws, as they may be amended or restated from time to time.

General

        We have 10,000,000 shares of authorized common stock, $0.10 par value and 500,000 shares of authorized preferred stock, $0.10 par value. As of April 18, 2008, there were 3,194,079 shares of common stock outstanding held of record by approximately 60 holders and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Common Stock

        Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by our stockholders, and do not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in the election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to shares of preferred stock then outstanding, if any, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock then outstanding, if any. Our common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights, nor are there any redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid. Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide further information about our capital stock.

Preferred Stock

        We may issue preferred stock in one or more series, as described below. The following briefly summarizes the provisions of our certificate of incorporation, as amended to date, that would be important to holders of our preferred stock. The following description may not be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the terms and provisions of our certificate of incorporation, as amended to date.

        Our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 500,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Our board of directors has the discretion to determine the number of shares of preferred stock to be included in each series as well as to determine the dividend, voting, conversion, redemption, liquidation and other rights, preferences and limitations of our preferred stock. The rights of the holders of common stock will be affected by, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions or other corporate actions, could have the effect of making it more difficult for others to acquire, or of discouraging others from attempting to acquire, a majority of our outstanding voting stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock.

Transfer Agent

        The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Mellon Investor Services, 200 West Monroe Street, Suite 1590, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

Delaware anti-takeover law and charter and bylaw provisions

        Provisions of Delaware law and our by-laws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest, open market purchases, removal of incumbent directors and otherwise. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

        We are subject to the "business combination" provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, those provisions prohibit a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in various "business combination" transactions with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:

•

The transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained interested stockholder status;



•

Upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder's becoming an interested stockholder, the stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned by (a) persons who are directors and also officers and (b) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or



•

On or subsequent to the date the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least 66²/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

        A "business combination" is defined to include mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in financial benefit to a stockholder. In general, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or within three years, did own, 15% or more of a corporation's voting stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change of control attempts with respect to us and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us.

Registration Rights

        Under the terms of the share and secured convertible note purchase agreements described above, we agreed to file a registration statement registering the shares purchased by the investors. We also agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to cause the SEC to notify us of the SEC's willingness to declare such registration statement effective on or before 120 days after the closing of each private placement, and to cause the shares to be duly listed for trading on the NASDAQ Global Market concurrently with the effectiveness of such registration statement. In addition, we agreed to take such action as may be necessary to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of (1) the date on which the shares may be resold without registration and without regard to any volume limitations of Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, (2) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to the registration statement or Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, or (3) the second anniversary of the closing date of the private placement.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 13.    Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

        The following table sets forth the estimated costs and expenses of the Registrant in connection with the offering described in the Registration Statement. All amounts except for the Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee are estimates. The Company will bear these costs, except that certain selling stockholders will bear a small portion.

ITEM 14.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law grants the Registrant the power to limit the personal liability of its directors to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty.

        Article XI of the Registrant's certificate of incorporation, as amended, provides for the limitation of personal liability of the directors of the Registrant as follows:

        A director shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided that this sentence shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of his duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. This Article XI shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when this Article XI becomes effective.

        Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law grants to the Registrant the power to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against liability arising out of their respective capacities as directors, officers, employees or agents. Article VII of the Registrant's Bylaws provides that the Registrant shall indemnify any person who is serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or of another entity at the request of the Registrant against judgments, fines, settlements and other expenses incurred in such capacity if such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Registrant and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the event of an action or suit by or in the right of the Registrant, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Registrant unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.

        The above discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of Sections 102(b)(7) and 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws.

ITEM 15.    Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

        Within the past three years, we have had six private placements.

        On June 1, 2007, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to sell 400,000 shares of unregistered common stock at $33.25 per share to Luxor Capital Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and Luxor Capital Partners Offshore, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company. The purchase price represented a premium to the 30-day average closing price of Ebix common stock on the date of the sale. Under the terms of the share purchase agreement, Luxor Capital Partners LP acquired 163,600 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for $5.4 million in cash and Luxor Capital Partners Offshore, Ltd. acquired 236,400 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for $7.9 million in cash, for an aggregate offering price of $13.3 million. As a result, at June 4, 2007, Luxor Capital Partners, LP owned approximately 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock and Luxor Capital Partners Offshore, Ltd. owned approximately 7% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The Company relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D promulgated thereunder in making this sale in a private placement to two accredited investors who acquired the shares for investment purposes. Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, Ebix was obligated to file with the SEC a registration statement, for the underlying shares of our common stock and to use our reasonable best efforts to cause the SEC to declare the registration statement effective, and take such action that is necessary to keep the registration statement effective. During the third quarter of 2007, the purchaser requested an additional 100,000 purchased shares be included in this filing. The respective Form S-1 registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 10, 2007.

        On December 13, 2007 the Company entered into share purchase agreements to sell 38,462 shares and 38,461 shares of our unregistered common stock at $58.50 per share and for an aggregate offering price of $4.5 million to The Lebowitz Family Trust and Daniel M. Gottlieb, respectively, both "accredited investors" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D. The purchase price represented a premium to the 30-day average closing price of our common stock on the date of the sale. The Company relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D promulgated thereunder in making this sale in a private placement to two accredited investors who acquired the shares for investment purposes. Pursuant to the share purchase agreements, Ebix is obligated to file with the SEC this registration statement for the underlying shares of our common stock and use our reasonable best efforts to cause the SEC to declare the registration statement effective.

        On December 18, 2007, we entered into a secured convertible note purchase agreement with Whitebox VSC, Ltd. ("Whitebox"), and on December 18, 2007, in exchange for $20.0 million, we issued a secured convertible promissory note (the "Note"), with a maturity date of December 18, 2009, in the original principal amount of $20.0 million, which amount is convertible into our common stock at a price of $63.84 per share, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Note. The maturity date of the note may be extended, by Whitebox, until December 18, 2011, if the trading price of our common stock does not exceed $75 per share for any 30 consecutive trading days prior to the maturity date. The Note accrues interest at the rate of 2.5% per annum, payable on an annual basis on December 18 of each year, each date of conversion (as to the principal amount being converted) and the maturity date. Further, in the event of a change of control of the Company, as defined in the Note, in addition to any other rights Whitebox may have, Whitebox has the right to put the then-outstanding principal amount of the Note (including any accreted interest) to the Company. Upon the exercise of this put right, the Company is required to pay to Whitebox an amount in cash equal to 110% multiplied by the greater (i) the then-outstanding principal amount of the Note (including any accreted interest) or (ii) the listed or quoted average price of the Common Stock on the trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading for the 20 trading days preceding the change in control multiplied by the number of shares into which the Note is then entitled to be converted. The Company has the option to cause a

mandatory conversion and the subsequent surrender of the Note at a Conversion Price of $63.84 per share, if the average price of the Company's Common Stock on the trading market exceeds $128.00 for any consecutive 30 trading days.

        The Company relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D promulgated thereunder in making this sale to an accredited investor who acquired the Note for investment purposes. Pursuant to the share purchase agreements, Ebix is obligated to file with the SEC this registration statement for the underlying shares of our common stock and use our reasonable best efforts to cause the SEC to declare the registration statement effective.

        On December 20, 2007, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to sell 20,000 shares of our unregistered common stock at $58.50 per share and for an aggregate offering price of $1.17 million to The Morris M. Ostin 2006 Annuity Trust, an accredited investor. The purchase price represented a premium to the 30-day average closing price of our common stock on the date of the sale. The Company relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D promulgated thereunder in making this sale in a private placement to a single accredited investor who acquired the shares for investment purposes. Pursuant to the share purchase agreements, Ebix is obligated to file with the SEC this registration statement for the underlying shares of our common stock and use our reasonable best efforts to cause the SEC to declare the registration statement effective.

ITEM 17.    Undertakings

A.

The Registrant hereby undertakes:

        (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

          (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

         (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

II-7

---

        (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.

        (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

        (4)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
