Hindenberg Short Report Publishing in India Is Blocked by Indian Sessions Court

The publication of the Hindenburg Report in India has been temporarily halted by the Delhi Court, according to Ebix, Inc. (NASDAQ: EBIX), the "Company," a major international provider of On-Demand software and E-commerce services to the insurance, financial, travel, healthcare, and e-learning industries. Additionally, the Court has ordered Google LLC and Twitter, Inc. to remove pertinent URLs (as listed in the Order) related to the Hindenburg Report from the Indian domain.

The Hindenburg Report was the subject of a lawsuit brought by EbixCash in Tis Hazari Court, Delhi, against Hindenburg and its founders, Google LLC, Twitter Inc., and other parties (collectively, "Defendants"), seeking a permanent, prohibitory, and mandatory injunction as well as defamation and damages. The Company gave the Court audit reports from two independent auditors and India's financial regulatory authority for the previous three years, along with a thorough rebuttal supported by evidence.

By order dated July 5, 2022, the Court prohibited the Defendants from disseminating the Hindenburg Report until the lawsuit's conclusion. Hindenberg declined to attend the proceedings, but Google LLC and Twitter, Inc. both had attorneys in attendance to speak on their behalf.
