PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaskela Law LLC announces that a shareholder class action lawsuit has been filed against Ebix, Inc. (Ebix or the Company) (NASDAQ: EBIX) on behalf of investors who purchased shares of the Companys common stock between November 9, 2020 and February 19, 2021, inclusive (the Class Period).

According to the complaint, on February 19, 2021, Ebix revealed that its independent auditor, RSM US LLP (RSM), resigned as a result of being unable, despite repeated inquiries, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence that would allow it to evaluate the business purpose of significant unusual transactions that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2020 related to the Companys gift card business in India. RSM had also stated that there was a material weakness related to Ebixs failure to design controls over the gift or prepaid card revenue transaction cycle sufficient to prevent or detect a material misstatement. In addition, Ebix and RSM disagreed over the accounting treatment of $30 million that had been transferred into a commingled trust account of Ebixs outside legal counsel in December 2020.

Following this disclosure, shares of Ebixs common stock fell $20.24 per share, or nearly 40% in value, to close on February 22, 2021 at $30.50 per share.

Current Ebix stockholders who purchased or acquired shares of the Companys stock prior to November 9, 2020 are encouraged to contact Kaskela Law LLC (David Seamus Kaskela, Esq.) at (484) 258 1585, or by email at skaskela@kaskelalaw.com, to discuss this action and their legal rights and options.
