Item 5.02(e): Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On May 17, 2011, Ebix, Inc. (“Ebix”) granted Robin Raina, Ebix’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, an additional cash bonus in the amount of $300,000 in recognition of Mr. Raina’s achievements in surpassing all of the goals under the existing incentive compensation plan, including those related to revenue, net income, and diluted earnings per share as based on the results for the year 2010. This bonus award is in addition to the already agreed upon compensation plan as previously approved by the Board of Directors. On this date, Ebix awarded Mr. Raina 26,448 shares of restricted stock having an aggregate grant date fair value of $525,000, and which represents approximately 22% of his aggregate total salary and cash bonus compensation earned in 2010. This grant of restricted stock will vest equally over a period of three years beginning on the first anniversary date of the grant. Each of these awards was unanimously approved by Ebix’s Board of Directors upon the recommendation of its Compensation Committee.
