Item 5.02: Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On April 1, 2010, the independent directors of the Board of Directors of Ebix, Inc. (“Ebix”) unanimously approved the recommendation of its Compensation Committee to provide 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 2009. This bonus award is in addition to the already agreed upon compensation plan as previously approved by the Board. The independent directors of the Board also unanimously agreed to award Mr. Raina 32,751 shares of restricted stock having an aggregate grant date fair value of $525,000, and which represents approximately 25% of the aggregate of his total salary and cash bonus compensation earned in 2009. This grant of restricted stock will vest equally over a period of three years beginning on the first anniversary date of the grant.
