Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into us, the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease and we will continue as the surviving company and as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Ebix (the “Merger”). 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 the Merger has not been consummated on or prior to the Outside Date, which was previously extended to May 4, 2020. Pursuant to the Fourth Extension Agreement, the Outside Date has been further extended to June 4, 2020 in order to provide the parties with time to determine whether they can reach mutual agreement on an amendment of certain terms of the Merger Agreement.
