Robbins Umeda LLP's investigation focuses on whether the directors and officers of Ebix harmed the company by breaching their fiduciary duties to shareholders. In particular, Robbins Umeda LLP is investigating allegations that Chief Executive Officer Robin Raina, and other fiduciaries at the company, made improper statements about Ebix's true financial condition and business practices. On March 24, 2011, a report was released by financial analysts disclosing numerous examples of serious misconduct at company. The report detailed allegations that the company used highly questionable tax arbitrage strategies, misrepresented organic growth and cash flow figures in statements filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and ignored the warnings of numerous independent auditors, such as KMPG, who have since resigned from the company.
On this news, shares of Ebix's stock lost 24% of their value on the day, closing at just $22.52 per share. Furthermore, in the weeks since news of these practices first surfaced, the company has increasingly become the focus of costly public scrutiny, and shares of Ebix have continued to decline in value, closing at just $19.69 on July 29, 2011.
