Ebix, which provides on-demand infrastructure exchanges to various sectors, has filed for bankruptcy and said it has received a $400 million, stalking-horse bid for its North American business.
Zinnia, a life insurance and annuity company owned by conglomerate Eldridge Industries, submitted the stalking-horse bid for Ebix's North American Life and Annuity assets. The bid sets a baseline for other competitive offers.
Ebix said it will continue to operate during bankruptcy proceedings. The company noted that its North American Life and Annuity assets generated less than 15% of its revenue for the nine months that ended Sept. 30.
Last month, Ebix reported third-quarter results that showed operating revenue fell about 54% from a year ago. The company also swung to a loss for the quarter of 33 cents a share.
"These are difficult times for the company," Chief Executive Robin Raina said at the time.
