The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Yatra, with Yatra surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ebix (the “Merger”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), as issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, each (i) ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of Yatra (the “Ordinary Shares”), (ii) Class A Non-Voting Share, par value $0.0001 per share, of Yatra (the “Class A Shares”), (iii) share of Class F common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Yatra USA Corp. (the “Yatra USA Class F Shares”), will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.005 (the “Exchange Ratio”) shares of Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Ebix (“Series Y Preferred Stock”) (the “Merger Consideration”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, as a result of the Merger:

Completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Yatra shareholders entitled to vote at an extraordinary general meeting duly called for the purpose of voting on the Special Resolution to approve the Merger and Merger Agreement (the “Yatra Stockholder Approval”), (ii) the Series Y Preferred Stock to be issued in the Merger being authorized for listing on Nasdaq, (iii) there being in effect no Cayman Islands law, United States, federal, state or local, or any foreign, law, constitution, treaty, convention, ordinance, code, rule, statute or regulation enacted, issued, adopted, promulgated, entered into or applied by a relevant governmental entity, that following the signing of the Merger Agreement or order prohibits, renders illegal or enjoins the consummation of the Merger, (iv) the expiration or termination of the waiting period applicable to the Merger under any applicable federal, state, foreign

or supranational antitrust laws, and (v) the declaration of the effectiveness by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the SEC by Ebix in connection with the registration of the Series Y Preferred Stock to be issued in the Merger. The obligations of each party to consummate the Merger are also conditioned upon (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party as of the closing (subject to customary materiality qualifiers), (ii) the absence of any material breach by the other party of any of its covenants or agreements under the Merger Agreement, and (iii) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to the other party.

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants of the parties customary for a transaction of this nature. During the period from the date of the Merger Agreement until the Effective Time, each of Ebix and Yatra has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to certain covenants relating to, among other things, (i) the conduct of their respective businesses and (ii) the use of their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain governmental and regulatory approvals. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, Yatra has agreed to covenants relating to (i) the submission of the Merger Agreement to Yatra’s stockholders at a special meeting thereof for adoption (ii) the recommendation by the board of directors of Yatra in favor of the adoption by the Yatra stockholders of the Merger Agreement and (iii) cancellation of certain outstanding warrants.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for Ebix and Yatra, including, among others, the right of either party to terminate the Merger Agreement if (i) the Merger has not been consummated on or prior to April 16, 2020, (ii) any court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction has issued an order or taken any other actions permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger, and such order or other action has become final and nonappealable, (iii) the Yatra Stockholder Approval is not obtained at an extraordinary general meeting of Yatra stockholders called for the purpose of voting on the Special Resolution to approve the Merger and Merger Agreement, or (iv) the other party breaches its representations, warranties or covenants in a manner that results in the failure of the related closing condition to be satisfied (subject to a cure period in certain circumstances). In addition, prior to the receipt of the Yatra Stockholder Approval, (i) Yatra may terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement for an acquisition proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (ii) Ebix may terminate the Merger Agreement as a result of Yatra’s board of directors changing its recommendation with respect to the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also provides that under specified circumstances, including a termination by Yatra to enter into a definitive agreement for an acquisition proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal or a termination by Ebix as a result of the Yatra’s board of directors changing its recommendation with respect to the Merger Agreement, Yatra will pay Ebix a termination fee of $8,160,000. Further, the Merger Agreement provides that if the Merger Agreement is terminated by Yatra or Ebix under certain specified circumstances where the termination fee is not payable, Yatra will pay Ebix all reasonable, documented expenses incurred or paid by or on behalf of Ebix or Merger Sub in connection with the Merger, up to $4,000,000.

In addition, Yatra has agreed to certain non-solicitation obligations relating to alternative acquisition proposals. Yatra further agreed not to, subject to certain exceptions, provide non-public information to, or engage in discussions or negotiations with, third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals. However, prior to the time when the Yatra Stockholder Approval is obtained, Yatra may, in certain circumstances and in compliance with certain obligations, provide non-public information to, and participate in discussions or negotiations with third parties with respect to alternative acquisition proposals that were not solicited in violation of the Merger Agreement and, subject to compliance with certain other obligations, change its recommendation that Yatra’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement and/or terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an acquisition proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

The Merger Agreement governs the contractual rights between the parties in relation to the Merger. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement have been made solely for the purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specific dates; are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement; are not intended as statements of fact to be relied upon by Ebix stockholders, Yatra stockholders or other persons, but rather as a way of allocating the risk between the parties in the event the statements therein prove to be inaccurate; have been modified or qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made between the parties in connection with the negotiation of the Merger Agreement, which disclosures are not reflected in the Merger Agreement itself; may no longer be true as of a given date; and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by Ebix stockholders, Yatra stockholders or other persons. Ebix stockholders, Yatra stockholders and other persons are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement (except, following the Effective Time, with respect to Yatra stockholders’ right to receive the Merger Consideration and the right of holders of Yatra equity awards to receive the consideration provided for such equity awards to the Merger Agreement and certain other limited obligations) and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Ebix, Yatra or Merger Sub. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Ebix’s or Yatra’s public disclosures.

statements, it is responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosures of material information regarding material contractual provisions are required to make the statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K not misleading.
