Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant

On February 7, 2011, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 29, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among A.D.A.M., Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), Ebix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ebix”), and Eden Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Georgia corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Ebix, Ebix completed its acquisition of the Company via the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ebix (the “Merger”). The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, were approved by the Company’s board of directors and its shareholders. The Company shareholders approved the Merger Agreement at a special meeting of the Company shareholders held on February 4, 2011.

At the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (other than shares owned by the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise)) were converted into the right to receive 0.3122 shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Ebix. In addition, immediately prior to the Merger, all outstanding stock options of the Company were cancelled and converted into a right to receive from Ebix an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the excess, if any, of $5.95 above the per share exercise price of such stock option multiplied by the number of shares subject to such stock option, subject to applicable tax withholding.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

In connection with the completion of the Merger, the Company notified the NASDAQ Stock Market on February 7, 2011 that the Merger has been completed, and has been advised that trading of Company common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market will be suspended. The Company intends to file a certification on Form 15 requesting that the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, be suspended.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On February 7, 2011, at the effective time of the Merger, each of Robert S. Cramer, Jr., Mark Adams, Mark Kishel, MD, Daniel S. Howe and Clay Scarborough, who constituted the board of directors of the Company prior to the Merger (the “Prior Directors”), resigned from their directorships of the Company and from all committees of which they were members. The resignation of the Prior Directors did not result from any disagreements with the Company regarding any matter related to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Immediately following the resignation of the Prior Directors and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger on February 7, 2011, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger became the directors of the Company. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger became the officers of the Company.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger on February 7, 2011, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company was amended and restated. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger on February 7, 2011, the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect at the Effective Time became the bylaws of the Company. The amended and restated certificate


of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws of the Company are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by this reference.
