SAN FRANCISCO, March 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hagens Berman urges Ebix, Inc. (NASDAQ: EBIX) investors with significant losses to submit your losses now. A securities fraud class action has been filed and certain investors may have valuable claims. Class Period: Nov. 9, 2020 – Feb. 19, 2021Lead Plaintiff Deadline: April 23, 2021Visit: www.hbsslaw.com/investor-fraud/EBIXContact An Attorney Now:EBIX@hbsslaw.com 844-916-0895 Ebix, Inc. (EBIX) Securities Fraud Class Action: The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants misrepresented and concealed that: (1) there was insufficient audit evidence to determine the business purpose of certain significant unusual transactions in Ebix’s gift card business in India during 4Q 2020; (2) there was a material weakness in Company’s internal controls over the gift or prepaid revenue transaction cycle; and (3) the Company’s independent auditor, RSM, was reasonably likely to resign over disagreements with Ebix regarding $30 million that had been transferred into a commingled trust account of Ebix’s outside legal counsel. Investors allegedly began to learn the truth on Feb. 19, 2021 when RSM abruptly resigned, stating that “despite repeated inquiries” RSM was unable to obtain sufficient audit evidence to “evaluate the business purpose of significant unusual transactions that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2020, including whether such transactions have been properly accounted for and disclosed in the financial statements subject to the Audit.” These “unusual transactions” concerned the Company’s gift card business in India. In addition, RSM and Ebix reportedly disagreed over whether $30 million transferred to a commingled trust account of Ebix’s outside counsel should still be classified as cash on Ebix’s balance sheet, even though those funds were outside Ebix’s direct control. On this news, the Company’s share price fell as much as $20.24, or 40%, in a single trading day. “We’re focused on investors’ losses and proving Ebix insiders cooked the Company’s books,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

China's electric-car maker Nio Inc on Monday forecast an up to 18% jump in current-quarter deliveries from the fourth quarter, after its quarterly revenue more than doubled helped by rising demand for battery-operated vehicles. Nio has emerged as a strong challenger to Tesla in China after it received government funding worth $1 billion last year that saved its from the brink of bankruptcy and helped soothe its cash woes as it struggled with recalls and falling sales.
