Ordinary Shares of Yatra Online, Inc.
and
Consent Solicitation
THE OFFER PERIOD (AS DEFINED BELOW) AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 11:59 P.M., EASTERN STANDARD TIME,
ON , 2020, OR SUCH LATER TIME AND DATE TO WHICH WE MAY EXTEND.
Terms of the Offer and Consent Solicitation
Until the Expiration Date (as defined below), we are offering to the holders of our warrants as described below the opportunity to receive 0.075 of an ordinary share, $0.0001 per share, ("Ordinary Shares") in the capital of Yatra Online, Inc. ("Yatra") in exchange for each of our outstanding warrants tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the "Offer"). The Offer is being made to:
All holders of our publicly traded warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares that were issued in connection with our business combination between us and Terrapin 3 Acquisition Corporation ("Terrapin") completed on December 16, 2016 (the "Business Combination"), which entitle such warrant holders to purchase one-half of one Ordinary Share for a purchase price of one-half of $11.50, subject to adjustments, referred to as the "Public Warrants." Our Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "YTRA," and our Public Warrants are listed on OTC QX under the symbol "YTROF." As of January 16, 2020, 21,622,679 Public Warrants were outstanding. Pursuant to the Offer, we are offering up to an aggregate of 1,315,347 of our Ordinary Shares in exchange for an aggregate of 17,537,958 Public Warrants and Private Warrants that may be exchanged in the Offer, as described below.
All holders of certain of our warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares that were privately issued as consideration in connection with the consummation of our Business Combination based on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), referred to as the "Private Warrants." The Private Warrants entitle the holders to purchase one-half of one Ordinary Share for a purchase price of one-half of $11.50, subject to adjustments. The terms of the Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that such Private Warrants are exercisable for cash (even if a registration statement covering the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not effective) or on a cashless basis and are not redeemable by us, in each case so long as they are still held by a Terrapin Sponsor (as defined below) or its permitted transferee. The Public Warrants and Private Warrants are referred to collectively as the "Warrants." The Private Warrants were issued to (i) Apple Orange LLC, MIHI LLC, Noyac Path LLC and Periscope LLC, the former sponsors of Terrapin ("Terrapin Sponsors"), and the former shareholders of Terrapin as consideration in the Business Combination and (ii) Macquarie Corporate Holdings Pty. Ltd. As of January 16, 2020, 13,052,321 Private Warrants were outstanding. Pursuant to the Offer, we are offering up to an aggregate of 1,315,347 of our Ordinary Shares in exchange for an aggregate of 17,537,958 Public Warrants and Private Warrants that may be exchanged in the Offer, as described below.
Yatra's obligation to accept for exchange, and to exchange, Warrants for Ordinary Shares in the Offer is subject to a number of conditions, including (a) a nonwaivable condition that there be validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer at least 17,537,958 Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,768,979 Ordinary Shares (the "Minimum Tender Condition"), (b) a nonwaivable condition that the Consent Solicitation (as defined below) be approved by the requisite holders (the "Consent Solicitation Approval Condition"), (c) the satisfaction of the Conditions to Completion of the Merger (as defined in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange) (the "Merger Condition") and (d) the satisfaction of other customary conditions, including the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this document is a part and there being no action or proceeding, statute, rule, regulation or order that would challenge or restrict the making or completion of the Offer, as described in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. See "The Offer and Consent Solicitation—General Terms—Conditions to the Offer and Consent Solicitation" on page 31.
Subject to the Minimum Tender Condition, the Consent Solicitation Approval Condition, the Merger Condition and the other terms and conditions to the Offer set forth in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, we will exchange up to 17,537,958 Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,768,979 Ordinary Shares for an aggregate of 1,315,347 Ordinary Shares. If more than 17,537,958 Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,768,979 Ordinary Shares are validly tendered for exchange and not withdrawn, we will accept for exchange up to 17,537,958 Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,768,979 Ordinary Shares on a pro rata basis among the tendering Warrant holders.
Each Warrant holder whose Warrants are exchanged pursuant to the Offer will receive 0.075 of an Ordinary Share for each Warrant tendered by such holder and exchanged. No fractional Ordinary Shares will be issued pursuant to the Offer. In the event that a Warrant holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in an Ordinary Share, we will round down to the nearest whole number, the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to such Warrant holder.
Holders of the Warrants tendered for exchange will not have to pay any of the exercise price for the tendered Warrants in order to receive Ordinary Shares in the exchange.
Concurrently with the Offer, we are also soliciting consents (the "Consent Solicitation") from holders of the Public Warrants to amend (the "Warrant Amendment") that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of July 16, 2014, as amended by that certain Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement, dated December 16, 2016, by and between the company, Terrapin and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (as amended, the "Warrant Agreement") that governs all of the Warrants to modify the terms of the Warrants such that the Warrants may be exchanged, at the Company's discretion, for Ordinary Shares without payment by the holder of the exercise price. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the consent of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding Public Warrants is required to approve the Warrant Amendment. Therefore, one of the conditions to (i) the adoption of the Consent Solicitation and (ii), pursuant to the terms of the Offer, Yatra's obligation to accept for exchange, and to exchange Warrants for Ordinary Shares in the Offer, is the receipt of the consent of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding Public Warrants. Holders of Public Warrants may not tender their Public Warrants without consenting to the Warrant Amendment. The consent to the Warrant Amendment is a part of the letter of transmittal and consent relating to the Public Warrants, and therefore by tendering your Public Warrants for exchange you will deliver to us your consent. You may revoke your consent at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) by withdrawing the Public Warrants you have tendered in the Offer. The Company reserves the right to redeem any of the Warrants, as applicable, pursuant to their current terms at any time, including prior to the completion of the Offer.
The Offer and Consent Solicitation is made solely upon the terms and conditions in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and in the related letter of transmittal and consent (as it may be supplemented and amended from time to time, the "Letter of Transmittal and Consent"). The Offer and Consent Solicitation will be open until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on , 2020, or such later time and date to which we may extend (the period during which the Offer and Consent Solicitation is open, giving effect to any withdrawal or extension, is referred to as the "Offer Period," and the date and time at which the Offer Period ends is referred to as the "Expiration Date"). The Offer and Consent Solicitation is not made to those holders who reside in states or other jurisdictions where an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
We may withdraw the Offer and Consent Solicitation only if the conditions to the Offer and Consent Solicitation are not satisfied or waived prior to the Expiration Date. Promptly upon any such withdrawal, we will return the tendered Warrants to the holders (and the consent to the Warrant Amendment will be revoked).
You may tender some or all of your Warrants into the Offer.If you elect to tender Warrants in response to the Offer and Consent Solicitation, please follow the instructions in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and the related documents, including the Letter of Transmittal and Consent. If you tender Warrants, you may withdraw your tendered Warrants at any time before the Expiration Date and retain them on their current terms or amended terms if the Warrant Amendment is approved, by following the instructions in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. In addition, tendered Warrants that are not accepted by us for exchange by , 2020, may thereafter be withdrawn by you until such time as the Warrants are accepted by us for exchange. If you withdraw the tender of your Public Warrants, your consent to the Warrant Amendment will be withdrawn as a result.
Warrants not exchanged for our Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Offer will remain outstanding subject to their current terms or amended terms if the Warrant Amendment is approved. If we complete the Offer and Consent Solicitation and obtain the requisite approval of the Warrant Amendment by holders of the Warrants, the Company will have the right at any time to exchange, at the Company's discretion, Warrants for Ordinary Shares without payment by the holder of the exercise price. However, even though as a result of the approval of the Warrant Amendment we will have the right to require an exchange of all remaining outstanding Warrants, we would not be required to effect such an exchange and may defer doing so prior to the Merger, if at all, or until most economically advantageous to us.
Our Public Warrants are currently listed on OTC QX under the symbol "YTROF"; however, Nasdaq may delist our Public Warrants if, following the completion of the Offer and Consent Solicitation, there are not at least two registered and active market makers for the Public Warrants.
The Offer and Consent Solicitation is conditioned upon the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form F-4 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exchange of the Warrants pursuant to the Offer. This Prospectus/Offer to Exchange forms a part of the registration statement.
A majority of our board of directors, consisting of disinterested directors with respect to the Offer, approved the Offer and Consent Solicitation on July 16, 2019. However, neither we nor any of our management, our board of directors, or the information agent or the exchange agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation is making any recommendation as to whether holders of Warrants should tender Warrants for exchange in the Offer or consent to the Warrant Amendment in the Consent Solicitation. Each holder of a Warrant must make its own decision as to whether to exchange some or all of its Warrants and consent to the Warrant Amendment.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange constitute forward-looking statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. You should not place undue reliance on such statements because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to our operations, business environment and industry, and our proposed merger, or Merger, with and into EbixCash Travels Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares, or Merger Sub, a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Ebix, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or Ebix, pursuant to that certain Merger Agreement, dated July 16, 2019, by and among us, Ebix and Merger Sub, or the Merger Agreement, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategy. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as "believe," "anticipate," "could," "may," "would," "should," "intend," "plan," "potential," "predict," "will," "expect," "estimate," "project," "positioned," "strategy," "outlook" and similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements involve current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections of the Company regarding the Company, its industry, the Offer and Consent Solicitation and the Merger. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in the forward-looking statements. Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements are the following:
- •
- our ability to obtain the requisite approval for the Warrant Amendment, which would modify the terms of the Warrants such that the Warrants may be exchanged, at the Company's discretion, for Ordinary Shares without payment by the holder of the exercise price;
- •
- the effect of the exchange of Warrants for Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Offer, which will increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our shareholders and its potential impact on the market price of our Ordinary Shares;
- •
- the lack of a determination by our board of directors or any third-party that the Offer or the Consent Solicitation is fair to Warrant holders;
- •
- the potential value to Warrant holders who tender their Warrants in the Offer, including the market price of the Ordinary Shares delivered in exchange for Warrants, which may fluctuate;
- •
- the effect of the Warrant Amendment, if adopted, on the liquidity of the Warrants that are not exchanged in the Offer;
- •
- our ability to consummate the Merger within the expected timeframe or at all and the potential effects on our Ordinary Shares if we are unable to do so; and
- •
- other risks and uncertainties set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and in "Item 3. Key information—D. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2019 (our "2019 Annual Report on Form 20-F") filed with the SEC on July 31, 2019 (which is incorporated by reference herein).
Additional key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements includes, but are not limited to, economic, business, competitive, and/or regulatory factors affecting our business generally, including those set forth in "Item 3. Key information—D. Risk Factors" and "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 20-F (which is incorporated by reference herein) and in any subsequently filed Reports of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K and other filings we make with the SEC. You should read such key factors, this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and the documents that we incorporate

Table of Contents
by reference into this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange is a part completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.
We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, business strategy and financial needs, including the anticipated consummation of our proposed Merger with Ebix. You are cautioned to consider these factors and the other key factors described above. These risks could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by forward-looking statements in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. However, these risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange include additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof. New risks and uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you should keep in mind that any event described in a forward-looking statement made in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange or elsewhere might not occur.
In addition, statements that "we believe" and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

The Yatra-Ebix Merger
On July 16, 2019, we entered into a Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement") with Ebix Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Ebix"), and EbixCash Travels Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company ("Merger Sub"). The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with applicable law, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Yatra (the "Merger") as of the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"). Upon completion of the Merger, Yatra will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ebix, and our Ordinary Shares will no longer be outstanding or publicly traded.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at Effective Time, as issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each of our Ordinary Shares, (ii) each of our Class A Non-Voting shares, par value $0.0001 per share, (each, a "Class A Share"), and (iii) each share of Class F common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Yatra USA Corp. (each, a "Yatra USA Class F Share"), will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.005 (the "Merger Exchange Ratio") of a share of Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Ebix ("Ebix

Preferred Stock") (the "Merger Consideration"). In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, as a result of the Merger:
Each of our Class F Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Yatra (each, a "Class F Share") will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.00000005 of a share of Ebix Preferred Stock (the "Class F Exchange Ratio");
Each equity share, par value 10 Indian rupees per share, of Yatra Online Private limited ("Yatra India Share") will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a specified amount of shares of Ebix Preferred Stock as set forth in the Merger Agreement;
Each option to purchase our Ordinary Shares that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested (an "Option"), will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive in respect of each Net Option Share (as defined below), if any, subject to such Option, the Merger Consideration that would be received for one Ordinary Share. A Net Option Share means the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying (A) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration Value (as defined below) over the exercise price per Ordinary Share subject to such Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the number of Ordinary Shares subject to such Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (ii) Merger Consideration Value. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the "Merger Consideration Value" means the product of (x) the Common Exchange Ratio (as defined below) and (y) $59;
Each of our restricted stock units that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested (a "RSU"), will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration due an Ordinary Share;
Each Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by Ebix and become, as of the Effective Time, a warrant to purchase, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, exercise and expiration provisions) as applied to each such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, Ebix Preferred Stock, except that (A) the number of shares of Ebix Preferred Stock, subject to such Warrant will equal the product of (x) the number of Ordinary Shares that were subject to such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Merger Exchange Ratio, and (B) the per-share exercise price will equal the quotient of (1) the exercise price per Ordinary Share at which such Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (2) the Merger Exchange Ratio.
Each share of Ebix Preferred Stock contains a right to require Ebix to redeem such shares of Ebix Common Stock for a specified cash price (the "Put Right") and is convertible at the election of the Yatra shareholder into common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Ebix ("Ebix Common Stock") at a conversion rate of 20 shares of Ebix Common Stock for each share of Ebix Preferred Stock (the "Conversion Rate"). The Merger Agreement, defines the "Common Exchange Ratio" as 0.09998, which represents the approximate ratio of one Ordinary Share to one share of Ebix Common Stock.
Based on the closing price of Ebix Common Stock on Nasdaq on July 16, 2019, the last trading day before the public announcement of the Merger Agreement, the Merger Consideration represented approximately $4.81 in value for each Ordinary Share. Based on the closing price of Ebix Common Stock on Nasdaq on , 2020, the most recent practicable trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, the Merger Consideration represented approximately $ in value for each Ordinary Share.Because Ebix will issue a fixed fraction of a share of Ebix Preferred Stock in exchange for each Ordinary Share, the value of the Merger Consideration that our shareholders will receive in the Merger will depend on the market price of Ebix Common Stock at the time the Merger is completed. The market price of Ebix Common Stock when our shareholders receive the Ebix Preferred Stock after the Merger could be greater than, less than or the same as the market price of

As part of the Offer, we are also soliciting consents from holders of the Public Warrants to amend the Warrant Agreement that governs all of the Warrants.

A copy of Warrant Amendment is attached hereto as Annex A. We urge that you carefully read the Warrant Amendment in its entirety. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the consent of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding Public Warrants is required to approve the Warrant Amendment.

Consequences of Not Exchanging your Warrants for Ordinary Shares
If you do not tender your Warrants in the Offer and we complete the Merger with Ebix, your Warrants will, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on your part, be assumed by Ebix and become, as of the Effective Time, a warrant to purchase, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, exercise and expiration provisions) as applied to each such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, Ebix Preferred Stock, except that (A) the number of shares of Ebix Preferred Stock, subject to such Warrant will equal the product of (x) the number of Ordinary Shares that were subject to such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Merger Exchange Ratio, and (B) the per-share exercise price will equal the quotient of (1) the exercise price per Ordinary Share at which such Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (2) the Merger Exchange Ratio. The rights associated with our Ordinary Shares are different from the rights associated with the Ebix common stock into which the Ebix Preferred Stock is convertible. For a comparison of the material differences between (i) the current rights of our shareholders under the law of the Cayman Islands and under Yatra's Articles and (ii) the current rights of Ebix stockholders under Delaware law and the Ebix certificate of incorporation and the Ebix bylaws we refer you to the section entitled "Comparison of Stockholder Rights" included in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. If you do not tender your Warrants in the Offer and we do not complete the Merger with Ebix, your Warrants will remain outstanding as warrants to purchase our Ordinary Shares, subject to their current terms.
As described above, the obligations of Ebix and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger are conditioned upon, among other things, the cancellation or other extinguishment of warrants to purchase our Ordinary Shares, such that no more than 8,768,979 Ordinary Shares remain subject to warrants or rights to purchase (other than equity awards under our share plans) and our obligation to accept for exchange, and to exchange, Warrants for Ordinary Shares in the Offer is subject to, among other things, the Minimum Tender Condition.

U.S. Tax Consequences of the Offer | | Subject to the passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") rules, for those holders of Warrants participating in the Offer and for any holders of Warrants subsequently exchanged for Ordinary Shares pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Amendment, we intend to treat your exchange of Warrants for our Ordinary Shares as a "recapitalization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code pursuant to which (i) you should not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange of Warrants for shares of our Ordinary Shares, (ii) your aggregate tax basis in the shares received in the exchange should equal your aggregate tax basis in your Warrants surrendered in the exchange, and (iii) your holding period for the shares received in the exchange should include your holding period for the surrendered Warrants. However, because there is a lack of direct legal authority regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the exchange of Warrants for our Ordinary Shares, there can be no assurance in this regard and alternative characterizations are possible by the IRS or a court, including ones that would require U.S. holders to recognize taxable income. |
| | Although the issue is not free from doubt, we intend to treat all Warrants not exchanged for Ordinary Shares in the Offer as having been exchanged for "new" Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Amendment and to treat such deemed exchange as a "recapitalization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code, pursuant to which, subject to the PFIC rules, (i) you should not recognize any gain or loss on the deemed exchange of Warrants for "new" Warrants, (ii) your aggregate tax basis in the "new" Warrants deemed to be received in the exchange should equal your aggregate tax basis in your existing Warrants surrendered in the exchange, and (iii) your holding period for the "new" Warrants deemed to be received in the exchange should include your holding period for the surrendered Warrants. Because there is a lack of direct legal authority regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the deemed exchange of Warrants for "new" Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, there can be no assurance in this regard and alternative characterizations by the IRS or a court are possible, including ones that would require U.S. holders to recognize taxable income. See "The Offer—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" beginning on page 39. |
Indian Tax Consequences of the Offer | | The exchange of Warrants at the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares against tender of warrants by the Warrant Holders may not trigger any adverse Indian tax implications. However, there can be no assurance in this regard and alternative characterizations by the Indian tax authorities or a court are possible, See -"The Offer—Material Indian Income Tax Consequences" beginning on page 46. |

No Recommendation | | None of Yatra, our board of directors, our management, the exchange agent, the information agent or any other person makes any recommendation on whether you should tender or refrain from tendering all or any portion of your Warrants or consent to the Warrant Amendment, and no one has been authorized by any of them to make such a recommendation. |
| | However, our board of directors has approved the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the Plan of Merger and determined that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are in the best interests of the Yatra. |
Consequences of Not Exchanging your Warrants for Ordinary Shares | | If you do not tender your Warrants in the Offer and we complete the Merger with Ebix, your Warrants will, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on your part, be assumed by Ebix and become, as of the Effective Time, a warrant to purchase, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, exercise and expiration provisions) as applied to each such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, Ebix Preferred Stock, except that (A) the number of shares of Ebix Preferred Stock, subject to such Warrant will equal the product of (x) the number of Ordinary Shares that were subject to such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Merger Exchange Ratio, and (B) the per-share exercise price will equal the quotient of (1) the exercise price per Ordinary Share at which such Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (2) the Merger Exchange Ratio. |
| | The rights associated with our Ordinary Shares are different from the rights associated with the Ebix common stock into which the Ebix Preferred Stock is convertible. For a comparison of the material differences between (i) the current rights of our shareholders under the law of the Cayman Islands and under Yatra's Articles and (ii) the current rights of Ebix stockholders under Delaware law and the Ebix certificate of incorporation and the Ebix bylaws we refer you to the section entitled "Comparison of Stockholder Rights" included in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. |
| | If you do not tender your Warrants in the Offer and we do not complete the Merger with Ebix, your Warrants will remain outstanding as warrants to purchase our Ordinary Shares, subject to their current terms. |

| | As described above, the obligations of Ebix and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger are conditioned upon, among other things, the cancellation or other extinguishment of warrants to purchase our Ordinary Shares, such that no more than 8,768,979 Ordinary Shares remain subject to warrants or rights to purchase (other than equity awards under our share plans) and our obligation to accept for exchange, and to exchange, Warrants for Ordinary Shares in the Offer is subject to, among other things, the Minimum Tender Condition. If these and other applicable conditions are not met, we will not complete the Offer and we and Ebix may not consummate the Merger and your Warrants may remain outstanding as warrants to purchase our Ordinary Shares. |
| | If we complete the Offer and Consent Solicitation and obtain the requisite approval for the Warrant Amendment, prior to any such required exchange, the Public Warrants, which are currently listed and traded on the OTC OX Market, may experience reduced liquidity and Warrant holders may have difficulty trading and obtaining accurate quotations for such Public Warrants.

Summary Financial Data
The following tables set forth certain summary financial information. We have derived the summary financial information as of and for (i) the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 from our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 20-F and (ii) the three months and six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 from our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information included in our Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on December 4, 2019 (our "December 2019 6-K"). We refer you to those financial statements, accompanying notes and the other financial information included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 20-F and our December 2019 6-K, which are incorporated by reference in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange.
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Effective April 1, 2018, we adopted the new revenue recognition standard, IFRS 15, pursuant to which upfront cash incentives, loyalty programs costs for customer inducement and acquisition costs for promoting transactions across various booking platforms, some of which, when incurred, were previously recorded as marketing and sales promotion costs, are now recorded as an offset of revenue. We have adopted the new standard by using the cumulative effect method and, accordingly, the comparative information has not been restated. Our historical results do not necessarily indicate results expected for any future period. Further, our results as of and for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements from which the below summary financial information for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2019 is derived include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position and operating results for these periods.

- On December 16, 2016, preference shares issued by Yatra Online, Inc. were converted into Ordinary Shares of Yatra Online, Inc. We thereafter effectuated a reverse 5.4242194-for-one share split of our Ordinary Shares as well as a reverse 5.4242194-for-one adjustment with respect to the number of Ordinary Shares underlying our share options. Consequently, the basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented are adjusted retrospectively to reflect the share split.

Certain Non-IFRS Measures
As certain parts of our revenue are recognized on a "net" basis and other parts of our revenue are recognized on a "gross" basis, we evaluate our financial performance based on Adjusted Revenue, which is a non-IFRS measure. Effective April 1, 2018, we adopted the new revenue recognition standard, IFRS 15, under which promotional expenses in the nature of customer inducement/acquisition costs for acquiring customers and promoting transactions across various booking platforms, such as upfront incentives and loyalty programs cost, some of which, when incurred were previously recorded as marketing and sales promotion costs, are now being recorded as a reduction of revenue.
We believe that Adjusted Revenue provides investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business and more accurately reflects the value addition of the travel services that we provide to our customers. The presentation of this non-IFRS information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our unaudited condensed consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Our Adjusted Revenue may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to potential differences in the method of calculation.
The following table reconciles our Revenue (an IFRS measure), to Adjusted Revenue (a non-IFRS measure):

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our ordinary shares involves substantial risks and uncertainties. You should consider carefully and consult with your tax, legal and investment advisors with regard to the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and the documents incorporated by reference herein, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before deciding to exchange your Warrants for our ordinary shares. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects. The market price of our ordinary shares could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects. Some statements in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and the documents incorporated by reference herein, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."
In addition to the risk factors described below, you should consider the specific risks described in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 20-F, which is incorporated by reference herein, including risks relating to our operations, business environment and industry, and our proposed Merger with Ebix, and any other risk factors set forth in our other filings with the SEC, pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, before making an investment decision. See "Where You Can Find More Information." Based on the information currently known to us, we believe that the information included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange identifies the most significant risk factors affecting us. Each of the risks described in these documents could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. The risks and uncertainties are not limited to those set forth in the risk factors described in these documents. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be less significant than the risk factors included or incorporated by reference herein may also adversely affect our business. In addition, past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
Risks Related to Our Warrants and the Offer to Exchange and Consent Solicitation
Our results of operations may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange.
This Prospectus/Offer to Exchange includes unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements which present the combination of the financial information of Ebix and Yatra adjusted to give effect to the Merger, prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 assumes that the Merger occurred on December 31, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 presents pro forma effect to the Merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2018.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only, is based on certain assumptions and addresses a hypothetical situation. Therefore, the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not necessarily reflect what the combined company's financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Merger occurred on the dates indicated. The pro forma combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company post-Merger. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange due to a variety of factors.

Table of Contents
The Warrant Amendment, if approved, will allow the Warrants to be exchanged, at the Company's discretion, for Ordinary Shares.
If we complete the Offer and Consent Solicitation and obtain the requisite approval of the Warrant Amendment by holders of the Warrants, the Company will have the right to exchange the Warrants at the Company's discretion, for Ordinary Shares without payment by the holder of the exercise price. However, even though as a result of the approval of the Warrant Amendment we will have the right to require an exchange of all remaining outstanding Warrants, we would not be required to effect such an exchange and may defer doing so prior to the Merger, if at all, or until most economically advantageous to us.
Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the consent of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding Public Warrants is required to approve the Warrant Amendment. Therefore, one of the conditions to the adoption of the Warrant Amendment is the receipt of the consent of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding Public Warrants.
Our Warrants may be exchanged for Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Offer, which will increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our shareholders.
The exchange of the Warrants will result in the issuance of additional Ordinary Shares, although there can be no assurance that such warrant exchange will be completed or that all of the holders of the Warrants will elect to participate in the Offer. Any Warrants remaining outstanding after the exchange likely will be exercised only if the $11.50 per share exercise price is below the market price of our Ordinary Shares. To the extent such Warrants are exercised, additional Ordinary Shares will be issued. These issuances of Ordinary Shares will result in dilution to our shareholders and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market.
We have not determined, nor have we obtained a third-party determination, that the Offer or the Consent Solicitation is fair to Warrant holders.
None of us, our affiliates, the exchange agent or the information agent makes any recommendation as to whether you should exchange some or all of your Warrants or consent to the Warrant Amendment. We have not retained, and do not intend to retain, any unaffiliated representative to act on behalf of the Warrant holders for purposes of negotiating the Offer or Consent Solicitation or preparing a report concerning the fairness of the Offer or the Consent Solicitation. You must make your own independent decision regarding your participation in the Offer and the Consent Solicitation.
There is no guarantee that tendering your Warrants in the Offer will put you in a better future economic position.
We can give no assurance as to the market price of our Ordinary Shares in the future. If you choose to tender some or all of your Warrants in the Offer, future events may cause an increase in the market price of our Ordinary Shares and Warrants, which may result in a lower value realized by participating in the Offer than you might have realized if you did not exchange your Warrants. Similarly, if you do not tender your Warrants in the Offer, there can be no assurance that you can sell your Warrants (or exercise them for Ordinary Shares) in the future at a higher value than would have been obtained by participating in the Offer. See "—The Warrant Amendment, if approved, will allow us to exchange the Warrants, at the Company's discretion, for Ordinary Shares." You should consult your own individual tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect your individual situation.

Table of Contents
The number of Ordinary Shares offered for each Warrant in the Offer is fixed and will not be adjusted. The market price of our Ordinary Shares may fluctuate, and the market price of the Ordinary Shares when we deliver the Ordinary Shares in exchange for your Warrants could be less than the market price at the time you tender your Warrants.
The number of Ordinary Shares for each Warrant accepted for exchange is fixed at the number of shares specified on the cover of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and will fluctuate in value if there is any increase or decrease in the market price of our Ordinary Shares or the Warrants after the date of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. Therefore, the market price of the Ordinary Shares when we deliver Ordinary Shares in exchange for your Warrants could be less than the market price at the time you tender your Warrants. The market price of our Ordinary Shares could continue to fluctuate and be subject to volatility during the period of time between when we accept Warrants for exchange in the Offer and when we deliver Ordinary Shares in exchange for Warrants, or during any extension of the Offer Period.
If we complete the Offer and Consent Solicitation, the liquidity of the Public Warrants that are not exchanged in the Offer may be reduced, and holders of such Public Warrants may have difficulty trading and obtaining accurate quotations for the Public Warrants.
The Public Warrants are currently listed and traded on the OTC QX Market under the symbol "YTROF. As of January 16, 2020, we estimate there were 5 beneficial holders of the currently outstanding 21,622,679 Public Warrants. If the Warrant Amendment is approved, the Warrants may be exchanged, at our discretion, for Ordinary Shares. If we complete the Offer and Consent Solicitation, the market for any Public Warrants that are not exchanged in the Offer may become less active and your ability to sell such Public Warrants may become more limited due to the reduction in the amount of the Public Warrants outstanding upon completion of the Offer and Consent Solicitation.
The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell your Public Warrants at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your Public Warrants. As a result, you may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the market value of your Public Warrants. This severely limits the liquidity of the Public Warrants, and will likely reduce the market price, and may impact the price volatility, of the Public Warrants.
If there continues to be a market for our unexchanged Public Warrants, these securities may trade at a discount to the price at which the securities would trade if the number outstanding were not reduced, depending on the market for similar securities and other factors.
Failure to consummate the Merger within the expected timeframe or at all could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and on the value of any Ordinary Shares you receive in exchange for your Warrants.
If we complete the Offer and Consent Solicitation and obtain the requisite approval of the Warrant Amendment by holders of the Warrants, we expect to exchange 17,537,958 Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,768,979 Ordinary Shares for 1,315,347 of our Ordinary Shares. In connection with the Merger, each Ordinary Share of Yatra will be entitled to receive 0.005 shares of Ebix Preferred Stock and each share of Ebix Preferred Stock received for each Ordinary Share will, in turn, be convertible into 20 shares of Ebix Common Stock. However, there can be no assurance that the Merger will be consummated within the expected timeframe or at all. The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified closing conditions, as described in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange under "The Offer and Consent Solicitation—Background and Purpose of the Offer and Consent Solicitation—The Yatra-Ebix Merger—Conditions to Completion of the Merger" and there can be no assurance that these conditions to closing will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all.

Table of Contents
The Merger Agreement also provides that the Merger Agreement may be terminated by us or Ebix under certain circumstances, and in certain specified circumstances upon termination of the Merger Agreement, we will be required to pay Ebix a Termination Fee of $8,160,000. We will also be required to pay Ebix the Expense Reimbursement in an amount up to $4,000,000 in the aggregate in connection with the failure to obtain the Yatra Shareholder Approval. If we are required to make any of these payments, doing so would materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
There can be no assurance that a remedy will be available to us in the event of a breach of the Merger Agreement by Ebix or its affiliates or that we will wholly or partially recover for any damages incurred by us in connection with the Merger. A failed transaction may result in negative publicity and a negative impression of us among our users, business partners, investment community and business community generally.
We could also be subject to other risks if the Merger is not consummated, including:
- •
- the economic, business, competitive, and/or regulatory factors affecting our business generally and potential uncertainty in the marketplace, including those set forth herein, especially in this "Risk Factors" section and in the sections entitled "Item 3. Key information—D. Risk Factors" and "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 20-F (which is incorporated by reference herein);
- •
- the attention of our management may have been diverted to the Merger rather than other strategic opportunities that could have been beneficial to the Company;
- •
- members of our senior management team may seek other employment opportunities, and we may not be able to identify or hire a suitable replacement;
- •
- we may become subject to legal proceedings that may be instituted against us and others relating to the Merger Agreement and/or the Merger;
- •
- we may have limited cash available to fund our operations due to contractual restrictions contained in the Merger Agreement that limit our ability to raise capital while the Merger is pending;
- •
- we may have reduced our level of spending on marketing and sales to levels that may not have occurred or may not have occurred at the same level but for the Merger due to contractual restrictions contained in the Merger Agreement;
- •
- the parties may be liable for damages to one another under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement;
- •
- we may incur additional unexpected costs, liabilities or delays that may arise in connection with the Merger; and
- •
- we may experience potential disruptions to our business and operations, such as distraction of our employees to pursue other opportunities that could be beneficial to the Company, without the Merger being consummated.
Further, any disruptions to our business resulting from the announcement and pendency of the Merger, including any adverse changes in our relationships with our business partners, users and employees, could continue or accelerate in the event of a failed transaction. In addition, if the Merger is not completed, and there are no other parties willing and able to acquire us at a price comparable to that contemplated by the Merger, on terms acceptable to us, the price of our Ordinary Shares will likely decline to the extent that the current market price of our Ordinary Shares reflects an assumption that the Merger will be completed. Also, we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the Merger,
29
Table of Contents
for which we will have received little or no benefit if the Merger is not completed. These fees and costs will be payable by us even if the Merger is not completed.
If you do not tender your Warrants in the Offer and we complete the Merger with Ebix, your Warrants will be converted into warrants to purchase shares of Ebix Preferred Stock, which preferred stock will be convertible into shares of Ebix common stock. The rights associated with our Ordinary Shares are different from the rights associated with Ebix common stock.
If you do not tender your Warrants in the Offer and we complete the Merger with Ebix, your Warrants will, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on your part, be assumed by Ebix and become, as of the Effective Time, a warrant to purchase, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, exercise and expiration provisions) as applied to each such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, Ebix Preferred Stock, except that (A) the number of shares of Ebix Preferred Stock, subject to such Warrant will equal the product of (x) the number of Ordinary Shares that were subject to such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Merger Exchange Ratio, and (B) the per-share exercise price will equal the quotient of (1) the exercise price per Ordinary Share at which such Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (2) the Merger Exchange Ratio. Each share of Ebix Preferred Stock contains a Put Right and is convertible at the election of the Yatra shareholder into Ebix Common Stock at the Conversion Rate
The rights associated with our Ordinary Shares are different from the rights associated with the Ebix common stock into which the Ebix Preferred Stock is convertible. For a comparison of the material differences between (i) the current rights of our shareholders under the law of the Cayman Islands and under Yatra's Articles and (ii) the current rights of Ebix stockholders under Delaware law and the Ebix certificate of incorporation and the Ebix bylaws we refer you to the section entitled "Comparison of Stockholder Rights" included in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

THE OFFER AND CONSENT SOLICITATION
Participation in the Offer and Consent Solicitation involves a number of risks, including, but not limited to, the risks identified in the section entitled "Risk Factors." Warrant holders should carefully consider these risks and are urged to speak with their personal legal, financial, investment and/or tax advisor as necessary before deciding whether or not to participate in the Offer and Consent Solicitation. In addition, we strongly encourage you to read this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange in its entirety, and the publicly-filed information about us, before making a decision regarding the Offer and Consent Solicitation.
General Terms
Subject to the Minimum Tender Condition, the Consent Solicitation Approval Condition, the Merger Condition and the other terms and conditions to the Offer (as described under "—Conditions to the Offer and Consent Solicitation") we will exchange up to 17,537,958 Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,768,979 Ordinary Shares for an aggregate of 1,315,347 Ordinary Shares. If more than 17,537,958 Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,768,979 Ordinary Shares are validly tendered for exchange and not withdrawn, we will accept for exchange up to 17,537,958 Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,768,979 Ordinary Shares on a pro rata basis among the tendering Warrant holders. Until the Expiration Date, we are offering to holders of up to 17,537,958 Warrants the opportunity to receive 0.075 of an Ordinary Share in exchange for such Warrants. Holders of the Warrants tendered for exchange will not have to pay any of the exercise price for the tendered Warrants in order to receive Ordinary Shares in the exchange.
No fractional Ordinary Shares will be issued pursuant to the Offer. In the event that a Warrant holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in an Ordinary Share, we will round down to the nearest whole number, the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to such Warrant holder.
Our obligation to accept for exchange, and to exchange, Warrants for Ordinary Shares in the Offer is subject to a number of conditions, including (a) a nonwaivable Minimum Tender Condition, (b) a nonwaivable Consent Solicitation Approval Condition, (c) the satisfaction of Merger Condition and (d) the satisfaction of other customary conditions, including the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this document is a part and there being no action or proceeding, statute, rule, regulation or order that would challenge or restrict the making or completion of the Offer, as described in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. See"The Offer and Consent Solicitation—General Terms—Conditions to the Offer and Consent Solicitation" below.
As part of the Offer, we are also soliciting consents from holders of the Public Warrants to amend the Warrant Agreement that governs all of the Warrants. If approved, the Warrant Amendment would permit the Warrants to be exchanged, at the Company's discretion, for Ordinary Shares without payment by the holder of the exercise price. A copy of Warrant Amendment is attached hereto as Annex A. We urge that you carefully read the Warrant Amendment in its entirety. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the consent of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding Public Warrants is required to approve the Warrant Amendment. Therefore, one of the conditions to (i) the adoption of the Consent Solicitation and (ii), pursuant to the terms of the Offer, Yatra's obligation to accept for exchange, and to exchange Warrants for Ordinary Shares in the Offer, is the receipt of the consent of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding Public Warrant.
Holders who tender Public Warrants in the Offer will automatically be deemed, without any further action, to have given their consent to approval of the Warrant Amendment (effective upon our acceptance of the Public Warrants tendered). The consent to the Warrant Amendment is a part of the Letter of Transmittal and Consent relating to the Public Warrants, and therefore by tendering your Public Warrants for exchange you will be delivering to us your consent.
31
Table of Contents

If you tender Warrants, you may withdraw your tendered Warrants at any time before the Expiration Date and retain them on their current terms or amended terms if the Warrant Amendment is approved, by following the instructions herein. In addition, Warrants that are not accepted by us for exchange by , 2020 may thereafter be withdrawn by you until such time as the Warrants are accepted by us for exchange. If you withdraw the tender of your Public Warrants, your consent to the Warrant Amendment will be withdrawn as a result.

No Recommendation; Warrant Holder's Own Decision
None of our Company, our affiliates, directors, officers or employees, or the information agent or the exchange agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation, is making any recommendations to any Warrant holder as to whether to exchange their Warrants or deliver your consent to the Warrant Amendment. Each Warrant holder must make its own decision as to whether to tender Warrants for exchange pursuant to the Offer and consent to the amendment of the Warrant Agreement pursuant to the Consent Solicitation.
However, our board of directors has approved the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the Plan of Merger and determined that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are in the best interests of the Yatra.
Procedure for Tendering Warrants for Exchange and Consenting to the Warrant Amendment
Issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exchange of Warrants pursuant to the Offer and acceptance by us of Warrants for exchange pursuant to the Offer, and providing your consent to the Warrant Amendment, will be made only if Warrants are properly tendered pursuant to the procedures described below and set forth in the Letter of Transmittal and Consent. A tender of Warrants pursuant to such procedures, if and when accepted by us, will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering holder of Warrants and us upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer and Consent Solicitation. The proper tender of your Public Warrants will constitute a consent to the Warrant Amendment with respect to each Public Warrant tendered.
A tender of warrants made pursuant to any method of delivery set forth herein will also constitute an agreement and acknowledgement by the tendering warrant holder that, among other things: (i) the warrant holder agrees to exchange the tendered warrants on the terms and conditions set forth in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and Letter of Transmittal and Consent, in each case as may be amended or supplemented prior to the Expiration Date; (ii) with respect to Public Warrants, the warrant holder consents to the Warrant Amendment ; (iii) the Offer is discretionary and may be extended, modified, suspended or terminated by us as provided herein; (iv) such warrant holder is voluntarily participating in the Offer; (v) the future value of our warrants is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; and (vi) such warrant holder has read this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, Letter of Transmittal and Consent and Warrant Amendment.
Registered Holders of Warrants; Beneficial Owners of Warrants
For purposes of the tender procedures set forth below, the term "registered holder" means any person in whose name Warrants are registered on our books or who is listed as a participant in a clearing agency's security position listing with respect to the Warrants.
35
Table of Contents
Persons whose Warrants are held through a direct or indirect participant of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), such as a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other financial intermediary, are not considered registered holders of those Warrants, but are "beneficial owners." Beneficial owners cannot directly tender Warrants for exchange pursuant to the Offer. Instead, a beneficial owner must instruct its broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other financial intermediary to tender Warrants for exchange on behalf of the beneficial owner. See the section of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled "The Offer and Consent Solicitation—Procedure for Tendering Warrants for Exchange and Consenting to the Warrant Amendment—Required Communications by Beneficial Owners."
Tendering Warrants Using Letter of Transmittal and Consent
A registered holder of Warrants may tender Warrants for exchange using a Letter of Transmittal and Consent in the form provided by us with this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. A Letter of Transmittal is to be used only if delivery of Warrants is to be made by book-entry transfer to the exchange agent's account at DTC pursuant to the procedures set forth in the section of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled "The Offer and Consent Solicitation—Procedure for Tendering Warrants for Exchange and Consenting to the Warrant Amendment—Tendering Warrants Using Book-Entry Transfer"; provided, however, that it is not necessary to execute and deliver a Letter of Transmittal and Consent if instructions with respect to the tender of such Warrants are transmitted through DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP"). If you are a registered holder of Warrants, unless you intend to tender those Warrants through ATOP, you should complete, execute and deliver a Letter of Transmittal and Consent to indicate the action you desire to take with respect to the Offer and Consent Solicitation.
In order for Warrants to be properly tendered for exchange pursuant to the Offer using a Letter of Transmittal and Consent, the registered holder of the Warrants being tendered must ensure that the exchange agent receives the following: (i) a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and Consent, in accordance with the instructions of the Letter of Transmittal and Consent (including any required signature guarantees); (ii) delivery of the Warrants by book-entry transfer to the exchange agent's account at DTC; and (iii) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal and Consent.
In the Letter of Transmittal and Consent, the tendering registered Warrant holder must set forth: (i) its name and address; (ii) the number of Warrants being tendered by the holder for exchange; and (iii) certain other information specified in the form of Letter of Transmittal and Consent.
In certain cases, all signatures on the Letter of Transmittal and Consent must be guaranteed by an "Eligible Institution." See the section of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled "The Offer and Consent Solicitation—Procedure for Tendering Warrants for Exchange and Consenting to the Warrant Amendment—Signature Guarantees."
If the Letter of Transmittal and Consent is signed by someone other than the registered holder of the tendered Warrants (for example, if the registered holder has assigned the Warrants to a third-party), or if the Ordinary Shares to be issued upon exchange of the tendered Warrants are to be issued in a name other than that of the registered holder of the tendered Warrants, the tendered Warrants must be properly accompanied by appropriate assignment documents, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear on the Warrants, with the signature(s) on the Warrants or assignment documents guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.
Any Warrants duly tendered and delivered as described above shall be automatically cancelled upon the issuance of Ordinary Shares in exchange for such Warrants as part of completion of the Offer.
36
Table of Contents
Signature Guarantees
In certain cases, all signatures on the Letter of Transmittal and Consent must be guaranteed by an "Eligible Institution." An "Eligible Institution" is a bank, broker dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity that is a member in good standing of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program or a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity which is an "eligible guarantor institution," as that term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act.
Signatures on the Letter of Transmittal and Consent need not be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution if (i) the Letter of Transmittal and Consent is signed by the registered holder of the Warrants tendered therewith exactly as the name of the registered holder appears on such Warrants and such holder has not completed the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" or the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" in the Letter of Transmittal and Consent; or (ii) such Warrants are tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution.
In all other cases, an Eligible Institution must guarantee all signatures on the Letter of Transmittal and Consent by completing and signing the table in the Letter of Transmittal and Consent entitled "Guarantee of Signature(s)."
Required Communications by Beneficial Owners
Persons whose Warrants are held through a direct or indirect DTC participant, such as a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other financial intermediary, are not considered registered holders of those Warrants, but are "beneficial owners," and must instruct the broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other financial intermediary to tender Warrants on their behalf. Your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other financial intermediary should have provided you with an "Instructions Form" with this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. The Instructions Form is also filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange forms a part. The Instructions Form may be used by you to instruct your broker or other custodian to tender and deliver Warrants on your behalf.
Tendering Warrants Using Book-Entry Transfer
The exchange agent has established an account for the Warrants at DTC for purposes of the Offer and Consent Solicitation. Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC's system may make book-entry delivery of Warrants by causing DTC to transfer such Warrants into the exchange agent's account in accordance with ATOP. However, even though delivery of Warrants may be effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at DTC, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and Consent (with any required signature guarantees), or an "Agent's Message" as described in the next paragraph, and any other required documentation, must in any case also be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at its address set forth in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange prior to the Expiration Date, or the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the section of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled "The Offer and Consent Solicitation—Procedure for Tendering Warrants for Exchange and Consenting to the Warrant Amendment—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures" must be followed.
DTC participants desiring to tender Warrants for exchange pursuant to the Offer may do so through ATOP, and in that case the participant need not complete, execute and deliver a Letter of Transmittal and Consent. DTC participants accepting the Offer may transmit their acceptance to DTC through ATOP. DTC will verify the acceptance and execute a book-entry delivery of the tendered Warrants to the exchange agent's account at DTC. DTC will then send an "Agent's Message" to the exchange agent for acceptance. Delivery of the Agent's Message by DTC will satisfy the terms of the Offer and Consent Solicitation as to execution and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal and Consent by
37
Table of Contents
the DTC participant identified in the Agent's Message. The term "Agent's Message" means a message, transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the exchange agent and forming a part of a Book-Entry Confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC tendering the Warrants for exchange that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal and Consent and that our company may enforce such agreement against the participant. Any DTC participant tendering by book-entry transfer must expressly acknowledge that it has received and agrees to be bound by the Letter of Transmittal and Consent and that the Letter of Transmittal and Consent may be enforced against it.
Any Warrants duly tendered and delivered as described above shall be automatically cancelled upon the issuance of Ordinary Shares in exchange for such Warrants as part of completion of the Offer.
Delivery of a Letter of Transmittal and Consent or any other required documentation to DTC does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent. See the section of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled "The Offer and Consent Solicitation—Procedure for Tendering Warrants for Exchange and Consenting to the Warrant Amendment—Timing and Manner of Deliveries."
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures
If a registered holder of Warrants desires to tender its Warrants for exchange pursuant to the Offer, but (i) the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, or (ii) time will not permit all required documents to reach the exchange agent prior to the Expiration Date, the holder can still tender its Warrants if all the following conditions are met:
- •
- the tender is made by or through an Eligible Institution;
- •
- the exchange agent receives by hand, mail, overnight courier or facsimile transmission, prior to the Expiration Date, a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery in the form we have provided with this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, with signatures guaranteed by an Eligible Institution; and
- •
- a confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at DTC of all Warrants delivered electronically, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and Consent with any required signature guarantees (or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent's Message in accordance with ATOP), and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal and Consent, must be received by the exchange agent within three days that Nasdaq is open for trading after the date the exchange agent receives such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
In any case where the guaranteed delivery procedure is utilized for the tender of Warrants pursuant to the Offer, the issuance of Ordinary Shares for those Warrants tendered for exchange pursuant to the Offer and accepted pursuant to the Offer will be made only if the exchange agent has timely received the applicable foregoing items.
Timing and Manner of Deliveries
UNLESS THE GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE FOLLOWED, WARRANTS WILL BE PROPERLY TENDERED ONLY IF, BY THE EXPIRATION DATE, THE EXCHANGE AGENT RECEIVES SUCH WARRANTS BY BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, TOGETHER WITH A PROPERLY COMPLETED AND DULY EXECUTED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND CONSENT OR AN AGENT'S MESSAGE.
ALL DELIVERIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFER AND CONSENT SOLICITATION, INCLUDING ANY LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND CONSENT AND THE TENDERED
38
Table of Contents
WARRANTS, MUST BE MADE TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT. NO DELIVERIES SHOULD BE MADE TO US. ANY DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO US WILL NOT BE FORWARDED TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT AND THEREFORE WILL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE PROPERLY TENDERED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.
THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF ALL REQUIRED DOCUMENTS IS AT THE OPTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING WARRANT HOLDERS. IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, WE RECOMMEND REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED (PROPERLY INSURED). IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.
Determination of Validity
All questions as to the form of documents and the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for exchange of any tender of Warrants will be determined by us, in our reasonable discretion, and our determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of Warrants that we determine are not in proper form or reject tenders of Warrants that may, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in any tender of any particular Warrant, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other tendered Warrants. Neither we nor any other person will be under any duty to give notice of any defect or irregularity in tenders, nor shall any of us or them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.
Fees and Commissions
Tendering Warrant holders who tender Warrants directly to the exchange agent will not be obligated to pay any charges or expenses of the exchange agent or any brokerage commissions. Beneficial owners who hold Warrants through a broker or bank should consult that institution as to whether or not such institution will charge the owner any service fees in connection with tendering Warrants on behalf of the owner pursuant to the Offer and Consent Solicitation.
Transfer Taxes
We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the transfer of Warrants to us in the Offer. If transfer taxes are imposed for any other reason, the amount of those transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons, will be payable by the tendering holder. Other reasons transfer taxes could be imposed include (i) if our Ordinary Shares are to be registered or issued in the name of any person other than the person signing the Letter of Transmittal and Consent, or (ii) if tendered Warrants are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the Letter of Transmittal and Consent. If satisfactory evidence of payment of or exemption from those transfer taxes is not submitted with the Letter of Transmittal and Consent, the amount of those transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder and/or withheld from any payment due with respect to the Warrants tendered by such holder.
Withdrawal Rights
By tendering Public Warrants for exchange, a holder will be deemed to have validly delivered its consent to the Warrant Amendment. Tenders of Warrants made pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date. Consents to the Warrant Amendment in connection with the Consent Solicitation may be revoked at any time before the Expiration Date by withdrawing the tender of your Public Warrants. A valid withdrawal of tendered Public Warrants before the Expiration Date will be deemed to be a concurrent revocation of the related consent to the Warrant Amendment. Tenders of Warrants and consent to the Warrant Amendment may not be
39
Table of Contents
withdrawn after the Expiration Date. If the Offer Period is extended, you may withdraw your tendered Warrants at any time until the expiration of such extended Offer Period. After the Offer Period expires, such tenders are irrevocable, provided, however, that Warrants that are not accepted by us for exchange on or prior to , 2020 may thereafter be withdrawn by you until such time as the Warrants are accepted by us for exchange.
To be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the exchange agent at its address identified in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered the Warrants for which tenders are to be withdrawn and the number of Warrants to be withdrawn.
If the Warrants to be withdrawn have been delivered to the exchange agent, a signed notice of withdrawal must be submitted prior to release of such Warrants. In addition, such notice must specify the name of the registered holder (if different from that of the tendering Warrant holder). Withdrawal may not be cancelled, and Warrants for which tenders are withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly tendered for purposes of the Offer and Consent Solicitation. However, Warrants for which tenders are withdrawn may be tendered again by following one of the procedures described above in the section entitled "The Offer and Consent Solicitation—Procedure for Tendering Warrants for Exchange and Consenting to the Warrant Amendment" at any time prior to the Expiration Date.
A beneficial owner of Warrants desiring to withdraw tendered Warrants previously delivered through DTC should contact the DTC participant through which such owner holds its Warrants. In order to withdraw Warrants previously tendered, a DTC participant may, prior to the Expiration Date, withdraw its instruction by (i) withdrawing its acceptance through DTC's Participant Tender Offer Program ("PTOP") function, or (ii) delivering to the exchange agent by mail, hand delivery or facsimile transmission, notice of withdrawal of such instruction. The notices of withdrawal must contain the name and number of the DTC participant. A withdrawal of an instruction must be executed by a DTC participant as such DTC participant's name appears on its transmission through the PTOP function to which such withdrawal relates. If the tender being withdrawn was made through ATOP, it may only be withdrawn through PTOP, and not by hard copy delivery of withdrawal instructions. A DTC participant may withdraw a tendered Warrant only if such withdrawal complies with the provisions described in this paragraph.
A holder who tendered its Warrants other than through DTC should send written notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent specifying the name of the Warrant holder who tendered the Warrants being withdrawn. All signatures on a notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution, as described above in the section entitled "The Offer and Consent Solicitation—Procedure for Tendering Warrants for Exchange and Consenting to the Warrant Amendment—Signature Guarantees"; provided, however, that signatures on the notice of withdrawal need not be guaranteed if the Warrants being withdrawn are held for the account of an Eligible Institution. Withdrawal of a prior Warrant tender will be effective upon receipt of the notice of withdrawal by the exchange agent. Selection of the method of notification is at the risk of the Warrant holder, and notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the exchange agent.
All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of any notice of withdrawal will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. Neither we nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
Acceptance for Issuance of Shares
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer and Consent Solicitation, we will accept for exchange Warrants validly tendered until the Expiration Date, which is 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on , 2020, or such later time and date to which we may extend. The Ordinary
40
Table of Contents
Shares to be issued upon exchange of Warrants pursuant to the Offer, along with written notice from Computershare Trust Company, N.A. confirming the balance of any Warrants not exchanged, will be delivered promptly following the Expiration Date. In all cases, Warrants will only be accepted for exchange pursuant to the Offer after timely receipt by the exchange agent of (i) book-entry delivery of the tendered Warrants, (ii) a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and Consent, or compliance with ATOP where applicable, (iii) any other documentation required by the Letter of Transmittal and Consent, and (iv) any required signature guarantees.
For purposes of the Offer and Consent Solicitation, we will be deemed to have accepted for exchange Warrants that are validly tendered and for which tenders are not withdrawn, unless we give written notice to the Warrant holder of our non-acceptance.
Announcement of Results of the Offer and Consent Solicitation
We will announce the final results of the Offer and Consent Solicitation, including whether all of the conditions to the Offer and Consent Solicitation have been satisfied or waived and whether we will accept the tendered Warrants for exchange, as promptly as practicable following the end of the Offer Period. The announcement will be made by a press release and by amendment to the Schedule TO we file with the SEC in connection with the Offer and Consent Solicitation.
Background and Purpose of the Offer and Consent Solicitation
The Yatra-Ebix Merger
On July 16, 2019, we entered into a Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement") with Ebix Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Ebix"), and EbixCash Travels Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company ("Merger Sub"). The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with applicable law, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Yatra (the "Merger") as of the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"). Upon completion of the Merger, Yatra will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ebix, and our Ordinary Shares will no longer be outstanding or publicly traded.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, as issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each of our Ordinary Shares, (ii) each Class A Share, and (iii) each Yatra USA Class F Share, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, as a result of the Merger:
- •
- Each Class F Share will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Class F Exchange Ratio;
- •
- Each Yatra India Share will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a specified amount of shares of Ebix Preferred Stock as set forth in the Merger Agreement;
- •
- Each Option will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive in respect of each Net Option Share, if any, subject to such Option, the Merger Consideration that would be received for one Ordinary Share;
- •
- Each of our RSUs that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration due an Ordinary Share;
- •
- Each Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by Ebix and become, as of the Effective Time, a warrant to purchase, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, exercise and expiration provisions) as applied to each such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, Ebix Preferred Stock, except that (A) the
41
Table of Contents
number of shares of Ebix Preferred Stock, subject to such Warrant will equal the product of (x) the number of Ordinary Shares that were subject to such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Merger Exchange Ratio, and (B) the per-share exercise price will equal the quotient of (1) the exercise price per Ordinary Share at which such Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (2) the Merger Exchange Ratio.
- •
- Each share of Ebix Preferred Stock contains a Put Right and is convertible at the election of the Yatra shareholder into Ebix Common Stock at the Conversion Rate. The Merger Agreement, defines the "Common Exchange Ratio" as 0.09998, which represents the approximate ratio of one Ordinary Share to one share of Ebix Common Stock.
Based on the closing price of Ebix Common Stock on Nasdaq on July 16, 2019, the last trading day before the public announcement of the Merger Agreement, the Merger Consideration represented approximately $4.81 in value for each Ordinary Share. Based on the closing price of Ebix Common Stock on Nasdaq on , 2020, the most recent practicable trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, the Merger Consideration represented approximately $ in value for each Ordinary Share.Because Ebix will issue a fixed fraction of a share of Ebix Preferred Stock in exchange for each Ordinary Share, the value of the Merger Consideration that our shareholders will receive in the Merger will depend on the market price of Ebix Common Stock at the time the Merger is completed. The market price of Ebix Common Stock when our shareholders receive the Ebix Preferred Stock after the Merger could be greater than, less than or the same as the market price of Ebix Common Stock on the date of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange or at the time of the Yatra extraordinary general meeting held to approve the Merger.
Conditions to Completion of the Merger
As more fully described in the Merger Agreement, the obligation of each of Ebix and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and us, on the other hand, to complete the Merger is subject to the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver) of a number of conditions, including the following:

The foregoing conditions to the consummation of the Merger and our and Ebix's respective obligations to complete the Merger are collectively referred to herein as the "Conditions to Completion of the Merger."

Our Ordinary Shares, Dividends and Related Shareholder Matters
Listing of Ordinary Shares and Warrants
Currently, our Ordinary Shares are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "YTRA", and our Public Warrants are listed on the OTC QX under the symbol "YTROF."
Holders
As of January 16, 2020, there were approximately 127 holders of record of our Ordinary Shares and approximately 5 holders of record of our Warrants. Such numbers do not include Depository Trust Company participants or beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names.
Dividends
We currently expect to retain all future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not plan to pay any dividends on our Ordinary Shares in the near future. The declaration and payment of any dividends in the future will be determined by our board of directors in its discretion, and will depend on a number of factors, including our earnings, capital requirements, overall financial condition, applicable law and contractual restrictions. In addition, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends depends on our receipt of cash dividends from our operating subsidiaries, which may further restrict our ability to pay dividends as a result of the laws of the respective jurisdictions of organization of our subsidiaries, agreements of our subsidiaries or covenants under future indebtedness that we or they may incur.
Source and Amount of Funds
Because this transaction is an offer to holders to exchange their existing Warrants for our Ordinary Shares, there is no source of funds or other cash consideration being paid by us to, or to us from, those tendering Warrant holders pursuant to the Offer. We estimate that the total amount of cash required to complete the transactions contemplated by the Offer and Consent Solicitation, including the payment of any fees, expenses and other related amounts incurred in connection with the transactions will be approximately $0.6 million. We expect to have sufficient funds to complete the transactions contemplated by the Offer and Consent Solicitation and to pay fees, expenses and other related amounts from our cash on hand.
Exchange Agent
Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company has been appointed the exchange agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation. The Letter of Transmittal and Consent and all correspondence in connection with the Offer should be sent or delivered by each holder of the Warrants, or a beneficial owner's custodian bank, depositary, broker, trust company or other nominee, to the exchange agent at the address and telephone numbers set forth on the back cover page of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. We will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse it for its reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.
Information Agent
D. F. King & Co., Inc. has been appointed as the information agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation, and will receive customary compensation for its services.

Registration under the Exchange Act
The Warrants are not currently are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we are subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act as a result of the continuing registration of our Ordinary Shares.
Accounting Treatment
The Company classifies the Warrants derivative instruments and these are recorded at fair value through profit and loss account. The Company estimates the fair values of the warrants at each reporting period.
There is no additional cash consideration paid or received specific to the exchange described in the Offer. If the fair value of the Ordinary Shares is equal to the fair value of the Warrants exchanged, an additional incentive is not considered to be present and the financial statements will reflect the additional shares issued as an allocation from paid-in-capital to par. If the fair value of the ordinary shares is greater than the fair value of the Warrants exchanged, an incentive is considered to be present in addition to the exchange of ordinary shares. The difference in fair value between the Ordinary Shares issued and the Warrants exchanges will be recorded in the financials consistent with the Company's relationship to the applicable warrant holders. The Offer does not modify any terms of the Warrant Agreement or the current accounting treatment for the un-exchanged warrants.
Absence of Appraisal or Dissenters' Rights
Holders of the Warrants do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights under applicable law in connection with the Offer and Consent Solicitation.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
General
The following description summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the receipt of Ordinary Shares in exchange for the Warrants pursuant to the Offer, the deemed exchange of Warrants not exchanged for Ordinary Shares in the Offer for "new" Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, and the ownership and disposition of the Ordinary Shares. This
47
Table of Contents
description assumes that holders hold the Warrants, and will hold the Ordinary Shares received upon exchange of the Warrants, as capital assets (generally, property held for investment). This description does not address all of the tax consequences that might be relevant to a holder's particular circumstances or to holders that may be subject to special tax rules, such as banks or other financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, tax exempt organizations, dealers in securities, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, persons who own (directly or through attribution) 10% or more (by vote or value) of our outstanding Ordinary Shares (except to the extent specifically discussed below), persons who hold Ordinary Shares or Warrants as part of a "straddle," hedging transaction, conversion transaction, or other similar integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or U.S. holders (as defined below) that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. This description assumes that the receipt of Ordinary Shares in exchange for the Warrants pursuant to the Offer and the deemed exchange of Warrants not exchanged for Ordinary Shares in the Offer for "new" Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Amendment is not integrated with the Merger for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This description does not address any tax consequences relating to the Merger.
If a partnership (or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Ordinary Shares or Warrants, the tax treatment of the partnership and a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the nature of the activities of the partnership. A holder that is a partnership, and the partners in such partnerships, should consult its tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the receipt of Ordinary Shares in the exchange, the deemed exchange of Warrants not exchanged for Ordinary Shares in the Offer for "new" Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, and the ownership and disposition of Ordinary Shares received in the exchange.
This description does not address the tax consequences arising under the laws of any foreign, state, or local tax jurisdiction. Moreover, except to the extent specifically set forth below, this description does not address the U.S. federal estate and gift tax, or alternative minimum tax, or other non-income tax consequences of the exchange (or deemed exchange) of any Warrants or the ownership and disposition of Ordinary Shares received upon exchange of the Warrants.
This description is based on the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), existing and proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, published positions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), and other applicable authorities, each as in effect on the date hereof. These authorities are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or differing interpretations by the IRS or a court, which could affect the tax consequences described herein. We have not obtained, and have no plans to request, a ruling from the IRS with respect to any of the U.S. federal income tax consequences described below, and as a result, there can be no assurance that the IRS or the courts will agree with any of the conclusions stated in this description.
This description is for general information only and is not tax advice. It is not intended to constitute a complete description of all tax considerations applicable to holders relating to the exchange of Warrants for our Ordinary Shares, the deemed exchange of Warrants not exchanged for Ordinary Shares in the Offer for "new" Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, or relating to the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares. You are urged to consult with your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the receipt of Ordinary Shares in exchange for the Warrants, the deemed exchange of Warrants not exchanged for Ordinary Shares in the Offer for "new" Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, and of the ownership and disposition of such Ordinary Shares, applicable in your particular situation, as well as any consequences under the federal estate or gift tax, the federal alternative minimum tax, or under the tax laws of any state, local, foreign, or other taxing jurisdiction.

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders
Subject to the limitations stated above, the following discussion addresses certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the receipt of Ordinary Shares in exchange for the Warrants, the deemed exchange of Warrants not exchanged for Ordinary Shares in the Offer for "new" Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, and of the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares, that are expected to apply if you are a U.S. holder of the Warrants or our Ordinary Shares. For this purpose, you are a "U.S. holder" if you are:
- •
- an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
- •
- a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, including the District of Columbia;
- •
- an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
- •
- a trust (i) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
Exchange of Warrants for Ordinary Shares and the Deemed Exchange of Warrants for "new" Warrants
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, for those holders of Warrants participating in the Offer and for any holders of Warrants subsequently exchanged for Ordinary Shares pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Amendment, we intend to treat your exchange of Warrants for our Ordinary Shares as a "recapitalization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code pursuant to which (i) you should not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange of Warrants for shares of our Ordinary Shares, (ii) your aggregate tax basis in the shares received in the exchange should equal your aggregate tax basis in your Warrants surrendered in the exchange, and (iii) your holding period for the shares received in the exchange should include your holding period for the surrendered Warrants. Special tax basis and holding period rules apply to holders that acquired different blocks of Warrants at different prices or at different times. You should consult your tax advisor as to the applicability of these special rules to your particular circumstances. Because there is a lack of direct legal authority regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the exchange of Warrants for our Ordinary Shares, there can be no assurance in this regard and alternative characterizations by the IRS or a court are possible, including ones that would require U.S. holders to recognize taxable income. If our treatment of the exchange of Warrants for our Ordinary Shares were successfully challenged by the IRS and such exchange were not treated as a recapitalization for United States federal income tax purposes, exchanging U.S. holders may be subject to taxation in a manner analogous to the rules applicable to dispositions of Ordinary Shares described below under "Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of Ordinary Shares" and exchanging non-U.S. holders may be subject to taxation in a manner analogous to the rules applicable to dispositions of Ordinary Shares described below under "Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of Ordinary Shares."
While we believe the exchange of Warrants for Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Offer is a value-for-value transaction, because of the uncertainty inherent in any valuation, there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court would agree. If the IRS or a court were to view the exchange pursuant to the Offer as the issuance of Ordinary Shares to an exchanging holder having a value in excess of the Warrants surrendered by such holder, such excess value could be viewed as a constructive dividend under Section 305 of the Code. Although not free from doubt, it is expected that such
49
Table of Contents
constructive dividend, if any, should be considered a dividend of common stock on common stock, which generally should be nontaxable.
Although the issue is not free from doubt, we intend to treat all Warrants not exchanged for Ordinary Shares in the Offer as having been exchanged for "new" Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Amendment and to treat such deemed exchange as a "recapitalization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code, pursuant to which, subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, (i) you should not recognize any gain or loss on the deemed exchange of Warrants for "new" Warrants, (ii) your aggregate tax basis in the "new" Warrants deemed to be received in the exchange should equal your aggregate tax basis in your existing Warrants surrendered in the exchange, and (iii) your holding period for the "new" Warrants deemed to be received in the exchange should include your holding period for the surrendered Warrants. Because there is a lack of direct legal authority regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the deemed exchange of Warrants for "new" Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, there can be no assurance in this regard and alternative characterizations by the IRS or a court are possible, including ones that would require U.S. holders to recognize taxable income. If our treatment of the deemed exchange of Warrants for "new" Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Amendment were successfully challenged by the IRS and such exchange were not treated as a recapitalization for United States federal income tax purposes, exchanging U.S. holders may be subject to taxation in a manner analogous to the rules applicable to dispositions of ordinary shares described below under "Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of Ordinary Shares" and exchanging non-U.S. holders may be subject to taxation in a manner analogous to the rules applicable to dispositions of ordinary shares described below under "Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of Ordinary Shares."
If you hold five percent or more of our Ordinary Shares prior to the exchange of Warrants for our Ordinary Shares (or the deemed exchange of Warrants for "new" Warrants), or if you hold Warrants and other securities of ours prior to the exchange (or deemed exchange) with a tax basis of $1 million or more, you will be required to file with your U.S. federal income tax return for the year in which the exchange (or deemed exchange) occurs a statement setting forth certain information relating to the exchange (or deemed exchange) (including the fair market value, prior to the exchange (or deemed exchange), of the Warrants transferred and your tax basis, prior to the exchange (or deemed exchange), in our Ordinary Shares or securities), and to maintain permanent records containing such information.
Characterization as a "Controlled Foreign Corporation" for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes
There is a possibility that we will be classified as a "controlled foreign corporation," or CFC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We will generally be classified as a CFC if more than 50% of our outstanding shares, measured by reference to voting power or value, are owned (directly, indirectly or by attribution) by "10% U.S. Shareholders." For this purpose, a "10% U.S. Shareholder" is any U.S. person that owns directly, indirectly or by attribution, 10% or more of the voting power or value of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. In addition, recent changes to the attribution rules relating to the determination of CFC status may make it difficult to determine our CFC status for any taxable year. If we were to be classified as a CFC, a 10% U.S. Shareholder may be subject to U.S. federal income taxation at ordinary income tax rates on all or a portion of our undistributed earnings and profits attributable even if the CFC has made no distributions to its shareholders, including "Subpart F income," global intangible low-taxed income and certain other income generated by the CFC, and may also be subject to U.S. federal income taxation at ordinary income tax rates on any gain realized on a sale of our Ordinary Shares, to the extent of the current and accumulated earnings and profits of our company attributable to such shares. The CFC rules are complex and U.S. holders that are, or may be, 10% U.S. Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the CFC rules to them in their particular circumstances. It is not expected that we will be classified as
50
Table of Contents
a CFC, and the remainder of this discussion assumes that we will not be classified as a CFC for U.S. federal income tax purposes but no assurances can be offered in this regard.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
General. A non-U.S. corporation, such as Yatra Online, Inc., will be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which, after the application of certain look-through rules either: (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such taxable year is passive income, or (ii) 50% or more of the total value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during such year) is attributable to assets, including cash, that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities, net gains from the sale or exchange of property producing such income and net foreign currency gains. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is based upon the composition of our income and assets, (including, among others, corporations in which we own at least a 25% interest), and the nature of our activities. Under proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations, the holder of an option to acquire stock in a PFIC is considered to be the owner of that stock.
Based on the projected composition of its income and assets, including goodwill, it is not expected that we will be a PFIC for the current taxable year ending March 31, 2020. The tests for determining PFIC status are applied annually after the close of the taxable year, and it is difficult to predict accurately future income and assets relevant to this determination. The fair market value of the assets of our company is expected to depend, in part, upon (a) the market value of our Ordinary Shares, and (b) the composition of our assets and income. A decrease in the market value of our Ordinary Shares and/or an increase in cash or other passive assets would increase the relative percentage of its passive assets. The application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects and, therefore, IRS may assert that, contrary to expectations, we are a PFIC for this taxable year. Accordingly, there can no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for this taxable year.
Consequences if a PFIC. If we are or become a PFIC during any year in which a U.S. holder holds our Ordinary Shares or Warrants, unless the U.S. holder of our Ordinary Shares makes a qualified electing fund (QEF) election or mark-to-market election with respect to the shares, as described below, a U.S. holder generally would be subject to additional taxes (including taxation at ordinary income rates and an interest charge) on any gain realized from a sale or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares or Warrants and on any "excess distributions" received from us by a U.S. holder of our Ordinary Shares, regardless of whether we qualify as a PFIC in the year in which such distribution is received or gain is realized. For this purpose, a pledge of our Ordinary Shares as security for a loan may be treated as a disposition. A U.S. holder would be treated as receiving an excess distribution in a taxable year to the extent that distributions on the shares during that year exceed 125% of the average amount of distributions received during the three preceding taxable years (or, if shorter, the U.S. holder's holding period). To compute the tax on excess distributions or on any gain, (i) the excess distribution or gain would be allocated ratably over the U.S. holder's holding period, (ii) the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any year before the first taxable year for which we were a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income in the current year, and (iii) the amount allocated to other taxable years would be taxed at the highest applicable marginal rate in effect for each such year (i.e., at ordinary income tax rates) and an interest charge would be imposed to recover the deemed benefit from the deferred payment of the tax attributable to each such prior year.
Under proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations, for purposes of the above rules (i) the exercise of a warrant to acquire stock in a PFIC is not treated as a disposition of PFIC stock and (ii) gain is not recognized on a disposition of PFIC stock that results from a nonrecognition transfer if in the transfer PFIC stock is exchanged for stock in the same or another corporation that is also a PFIC. However, (i) the exchange of Warrants for Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Offer or (ii) the deemed exchange of Warrants not exchanged for Ordinary Shares in the Offer for "new" Warrants pursuant to the Warrant
51
Table of Contents
Amendment would not be eligible for those rules if such exchanges were considered to be a taxable disposition of shares of PFIC stock. U.S. holders of Warrants should consult their tax advisors with respect to the application of these rules to the exercise or amendment of their Warrants if we are a PFIC.
QEF Election. If we were to be treated as a PFIC, a U.S. holder of our Ordinary Shares may avoid the excess distribution rules described above by electing to treat our company (for the first taxable year in which the U.S. holder owns any shares) and any lower-tier PFIC (for the first taxable year in which the U.S. holder is treated as owning an equity interest in such lower-tier PFIC) as a qualified electing fund ("QEF"). If a U.S. holder makes an effective QEF election with respect to our company (and any lower-tier PFIC), the U.S. holder will be required to include in gross income each year, whether or not we make distributions, as capital gains, our pro rata share's (and such lower-tier PFIC's) net capital gains and, as ordinary income, our pro rata share's (and such lower-tier PFIC's) net earnings in excess of its net capital gains. U.S. holders can make a QEF election only if we (and each lower-tier PFIC) provide certain information, including the amount of its ordinary earnings and net capital gains determined under U.S. tax principles. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide U.S. holders with this information if we determine that we are a PFIC. A QEF election is generally not available for a holder of a warrant in a PFIC. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a QEF election under their particular circumstances.
Mark-to-Market Election. As an alternative to making a QEF election, a U.S. holder may also be able to avoid some of the adverse U.S. tax consequences of PFIC status by making an election to mark our Ordinary Shares to market annually. A U.S. holder may elect to mark-to-market our Ordinary Shares only if they are "marketable stock." Our Ordinary Shares will be treated as "marketable stock" if they are regularly traded on a "qualified exchange." Our Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq, which should be a qualified exchange for this purpose. Our Ordinary Shares will be treated as regularly traded in any calendar year in which more than a de minimis quantity of the Ordinary Shares are traded on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. There can be no certainly that the Ordinary Shares will be sufficiently traded such as to be treated as regularly traded. Currently, a mark-to-market election may not be made with respect to warrants. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election under their particular circumstances.
Lower-Tier PFICs. If we are a PFIC and, at any time, have a foreign subsidiary that is classified as a PFIC, U.S. holders generally would be deemed to own a portion of the shares of such lower-tier PFIC, and generally could incur liability for the deferred tax and interest charge described above if we receive a distribution from, or dispose of all or part of our interest in, the lower-tier PFIC or the U.S. holders otherwise were deemed to have disposed of an interest in the lower-tier PFIC. There can be no assurance we will be able to cause the lower-tier PFIC to provide information required to make or maintain a QEF election with respect to the lower-tier PFIC. In addition, a mark-to-market election is not available with respect to lower tier PFICs. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax issues raised by lower-tier PFICs.
Reporting. A U.S. holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. holder, may have to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a QEF or market-to-market election is made) and such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations until such required information is furnished to the IRS.
The rules dealing with PFICs and with the QEF and mark-to-market elections are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, U.S. holders
52

should consult their tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to such securities under their particular circumstances.
Ownership and Disposition of Ordinary Shares
Dividends. Subject to the discussion above under "—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules," the gross amount of any distribution on our Ordinary Shares that is made out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) generally will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary dividend income on the date such distribution is actually or constructively received. Any such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations. To the extent that the amount of the distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), such excess amount will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. holder's tax basis in our Ordinary Shares, and thereafter as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange.
Dividends received by non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) from a "qualified foreign corporation" may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation, provided that certain holding period requirements and other conditions are satisfied. A non-U.S. corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends it pays on shares that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. U.S. Treasury guidance indicates that shares listed on the Nasdaq (where our Ordinary Shares are currently listed) will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. There can be no assurance that our Ordinary Shares will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in future years. Non-corporate U.S. holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as "investment income" pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code (dealing with the deduction for investment interest expense) will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of our status as a qualified foreign corporation. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to the positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met. We will not constitute a qualified foreign corporation for purposes of these rules if we are a PFIC for the taxable year in which we pay a dividend or for the preceding taxable year. See "—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules."
Subject to certain conditions and limitations, withholding taxes, if any, on dividends paid by us may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against a U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax liability under the U.S. foreign tax credit rules. For purposes of calculating the U.S. foreign tax credit, dividends paid on our Ordinary Shares will generally be treated as income from sources outside the United States and will generally constitute passive category income. The rules governing the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the U.S. foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.
Sale or Exchange. Subject to the discussion above under "—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules," a U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss on any sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized on the disposition and (ii) such U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in such shares. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on a taxable disposition of our Ordinary Shares generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder's holding period in such shares exceeds one year at the time of the disposition. Preferential tax rates may apply to long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on the sale or exchange of our Ordinary Shares generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.
53
Table of Contents
It is possible that India may impose an income tax upon sale of our Ordinary Shares. Because gains generally will be treated as U.S. source gain, as a result of the U.S. foreign tax credit limitation, any Indian income tax imposed upon capital gains in respect of our Ordinary Shares may not be currently creditable unless a U.S. holder has other foreign source income for the year in the appropriate U.S. foreign tax credit limitation basket. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of Indian taxes to a disposition of our Ordinary Shares and their ability to credit an Indian tax against their U.S. federal income tax liability.
Tax on Net Investment Income
Non-corporate U.S. holders whose income exceeds certain thresholds generally will be subject to 3.8% surtax on their "net investment income" (which generally includes, among other things, dividends on, and capital gain from the sale or other taxable disposition of, our Ordinary Shares). Non-corporate U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible effect of such tax on their ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares.
Tax Reporting
Certain U.S. holders holding specified foreign financial assets with an aggregate value in excess of the applicable dollar thresholds are required to report information to the IRS relating to our Ordinary Shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for our Ordinary Shares held in accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions), by attaching a complete IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with their tax return, for each year in which they hold our Ordinary Shares. Substantial penalties apply to any failure to file IRS Form 8938, unless the failure is shown to be due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. Also, in the event a U.S. holder does not file IRS Form 8938 or fails to report a specified foreign financial asset that is required to be reported, the statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes of such U.S. holder for the related taxable year may not close before the date which is three years after the date on which the required information is filed. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of these rules on the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares.
Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders
Subject to the limitations stated above, the following description addresses certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the receipt of Ordinary Shares in exchange for the Warrants, the deemed exchange of Warrants not exchanged for Ordinary Shares in the Offer for "new" Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, and of the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares, that are expected to apply if you are a non-U.S. holder of the Warrants or our Ordinary Shares. For this purpose, you are a "non-U.S. holder" if you are an individual, corporation, estate, or trust that is not a U.S. holder as defined above or a partnership (or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Special rules may apply to certain non-U.S. holders such as "controlled foreign corporations," "passive foreign investment companies," individuals present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition (but who are not U.S. residents) or, in certain circumstances, individuals who are former U.S. citizens or residents.
Exchange of Warrants for Ordinary Shares
Your exchange of Warrants for our Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Offer, and the deemed exchange of Warrants not exchanged for Ordinary Shares in the Offer for "new" Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, should generally have the same tax consequences as described above for U.S. holders (other than for foreign tax credit purposes).

Ownership and Disposition of Ordinary Shares
In general, a non-U.S. holder of our Ordinary Shares will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or, subject to the discussion below under "—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding," U.S. federal withholding tax on any dividends received on our Ordinary Shares or any gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares (including, any distribution to the extent it exceeds the adjusted basis in the non-U.S. holder's Ordinary Shares) unless:
- •
- the dividend or gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and if required by an applicable tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States; or
- •
- in the case of gain only, the non-U.S. holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the sale or disposition, and certain other requirements are met.
A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
The United States Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA"), imposes a reporting regime and, potentially, a 30% withholding tax on certain payments made to certain non-US financial institutions that fail to comply with certain information reporting, account identification, withholding, certification and other FATCA related requirements in respect of their direct and indirect United States shareholders and/or United States accountholders. To avoid becoming subject to FATCA withholding, we may be required to report information to the IRS regarding the holders of our Ordinary Shares and to withhold on a portion of payments with respect to our Ordinary Shares to certain holders that fail to comply with the relevant information reporting requirements (or that hold our Ordinary Shares directly or indirectly through certain non-compliant intermediaries). An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and another country may also modify these requirements. FATCA is particularly complex and its application is uncertain at this time. Non-U.S. holders of our Ordinary Shares should consult their tax advisors to obtain a more detailed explanation of FATCA and to learn how FATCA might affect each holder in its particular circumstances. However, under proposed Treasury Regulations, such withholding will not apply to payments made before the date that is two years after the date on which final regulations defining the term "foreign passthru payment" are enacted. The preamble to the proposed Treasury Regulations specifies that taxpayers (including withholding agents) are permitted to rely on the proposed regulations pending finalization.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
In general, information reporting requirements may apply to dividends received by U.S. holders of our Ordinary Shares, and the proceeds received on the disposition of our Ordinary Shares effected within the United States (and, in certain cases, outside the United States), in each case other than U.S. holders that are exempt recipients (such as corporations). Backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) may apply to such amounts if the U.S. holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number (generally on an IRS Form W-9 provided to the paying agent of the U.S. holder's broker) or is otherwise subject to backup withholding. Proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.
55
Table of Contents
Information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with, and non-U.S. holders may be subject to backup withholding on amounts received in respect of their Ordinary Shares, unless the non-U.S. holder furnishes to the applicable withholding agent the required certification as to its non-U.S. status, such as by providing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI, as applicable, or the non-U.S. holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Dividends paid with respect to our Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares received in the United States by a non-U.S. holder through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless such non-U.S. holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or complies with certain certification procedures described above, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against the holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, and such holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.
Tax Residence of Yatra and Utilization of Terrapin's Tax Attributes
For a discussion regarding the tax residence of Yatra and its ability to utilize Terrapin's tax attributes see the discussion in the sections entitled "Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Residence of Yatra and Utilization of Terrapin's Tax Attributes" in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 20-F.
Material Indian Tax Consequences
General
The following description summarizes the material Indian income tax consequences of the receipt of Ordinary Shares in exchange for the Warrants, pursuant to the Offer, and the ownership and disposition of Ordinary Shares. This description does not address all tax consequences to any holder's particular circumstances or to all categories of holders, some of which (such as trusts or similar arrangements) may be subject to special tax rules.
Exchange of Warrants for Ordinary Shares
The exchange of Warrants at the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares against tender of warrants by the Warrant Holders may not trigger any adverse Indian tax implications. However, there can be no assurance in this regard and alternative characterizations by the Indian tax authorities or a court are possible.
Ownership and Disposition of Ordinary Shares
This section describes the material Indian income tax consequences of ownership and disposition of Ordinary Shares for investors who are not residents in India, pursuant to the (Indian) Income Tax Act, 1961, as amended, or the IT Act. This section is based upon the provisions of the IT Act that are in effect as of the date of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and upon the interpretations thereof as pronounced in judicial precedents. The IT Act may be interpreted differently and may be altered or amended, possibly with retroactive effects.
This discussion is for general purposes only and is not tax advice. We cannot assure you that new laws, interpretations of law, or court decisions, any of which may take effect retroactively, will not cause any statement in this section to be inaccurate.

Tax Implications to Investors from Income Arising by the Sale or Transfer of Ordinary Shares
Withholding Tax Obligation on the Purchaser of Ordinary Shares
Under Section 195 of the IT Act, a person making a payment to a non-resident is required to deduct tax at the appropriate rates at the time of payment or at the time of credit, whichever is earlier, if such payment is taxable in India. Therefore, a payer would be required to deduct tax on payments at the rates in force in India or as per the applicable tax treaty, if the said sum is chargeable to tax in India.
Accordingly, an Indian entity purchasing Ordinary Shares from a non-resident investor must withhold taxes if the non-resident investor is liable for Indian taxes on the transaction. Please note that, in this situation, the payer has an obligation to withhold taxes only when the capital gains arising on such a transfer is taxable in India. Further, if the non-resident investor has a reduced tax burden due to a tax treaty, then the Indian law requires the payer to obtain certain prescribed documents from the payee, which the payer should maintain while withholding any such taxes.
Implications under Section 56 of the IT Act
Section 56(2)(x) of the IT Act imposes a tax upon the purchaser of Ordinary Shares when the purchase is made without consideration or for consideration less than the fair market value of such shares. If any transfer of shares is undertaken at less than the fair market value of such shares, the difference between such fair market value and the actual consideration paid would be taxable to of the purchaser as "income from other sources" and taxed at the tax rate applicable to regular income. The formula for computing the fair market value of listed shares takes into account the market value of such shares. In case of quoted shares, the fair market value is based on the price listed on a stock exchange.
Implications under Section 79 of the IT Act
Under section 79 of the IT Act, the brought forward tax losses of an Indian company lapses if its shareholding changes by more than 49%. However, there is significant litigation between the taxpayers and the Indian tax authorities on whether the provisions of section 79 becomes applicable on change in registered shareholding or on change in beneficial shareholding of the Indian company. Since the Merger would result in change the beneficial ownership of Yatra India and its subsidiaries by more than 49%, there is a risk that Indian revenue authorities may decide that Yatra India and its subsidiaries are not allowed to carry forward its past tax losses forward to future years.
WHILST IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE DISCUSSION ABOVE REPRESENTS A REASONABLE INTERPRETATION OF THE RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE IT ACT, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE (ESPECIALLY IN VIEW OF FACTS SPECIFIC TO A PARTICULAR INVESTOR) THAT THE REVENUE AUTHORITIES WILL AGREE WITH SUCH INTERPRETATIONS.
This discussion is included in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange for general information only, and is intended only as a summary of the material Indian income tax consequences of the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. It is not a complete analysis or discussion of all potential tax effects that may be important to you. You should consult with your own tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences applicable to you, including the application and effect of state, local and foreign income tax, the provisions of any double taxation avoidance agreement between India and your country of residence and other applicable tax laws.

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES UNDER
U.S. SECURITIES LAWS
We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability. A majority of our directors and executive officers, and certain of the experts named in this prospectus, are residents of non-United States jurisdictions and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons with respect to matters arising under the Securities Act or to enforce against them, in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts, liabilities predicated upon the United States federal securities laws.
We have been advised by our Cayman Islands legal counsel, Maples and Calder, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, and or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere. There is recent Privy Council authority (which is binding on the Cayman Islands Court) in the context of a reorganization plan approved by the New York Bankruptcy Court which suggests that due to the universal nature of bankruptcy/insolvency proceedings, foreign money judgments obtained in foreign bankruptcy/insolvency proceedings may be enforced without applying the principles outlined above. However, a more recent English Supreme Court authority (which is highly persuasive but not binding on the Cayman Islands Court) has expressly rejected that approach in the context of a default judgment obtained in an adversary proceeding brought in the New York Bankruptcy Court by the receivers of the bankruptcy debtor against a third party, and which would not have been enforceable upon the application of the traditional common law principles summarized above and held that foreign money judgments obtained in bankruptcy/insolvency proceedings should be enforced by applying the principles set out above, and not by the simple exercise of the Courts' discretion. Those cases have now been considered by the Cayman Islands Court. The Cayman Islands Court was not asked to consider the specific question of whether a judgment of a bankruptcy court in an adversary proceeding would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands, but it did endorse the need for active assistance of overseas bankruptcy proceedings. We understand that the Cayman Islands Court's decision in that case has been appealed and it remains the case that the law regarding the enforcement of bankruptcy/insolvency related judgments is still in a state of uncertainty.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Introduction
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of Ebix and Yatra present the combination of the financial statements of the two companies adjusted to give effect to the Merger. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.
In preparing these pro forma condensed and combined financial information, Rule 5.4 of Regulation S-X for combining entities with different fiscal years was followed. Specifically, since Ebix's fiscal year end is December 31st, and Yatra's is March 31st, and such fiscal year ends differs by less than 93 days, Ebix's statement of income was combined with that of Yatra's using each entity's respective fiscal years. Also, as such the below pro forma statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the nine months ended September 30, 2019 both contain Yatra's results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 which has operating revenues of $32.1 million and a net loss of $10.2 million.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed and combined financial position as of September 30, 2019, assumes that the Merger occurred on December 31, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 presents the pro forma effect to the Merger as if it had been completed on January 1, 2018.
The pro forma combined financial information does not necessarily reflect what Ebix's financial condition or results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. The pro forma combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of Ebix. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.
This information should be read together with Ebix's and Yatra's audited financial statements and related notes and other financial information incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the assumptions and adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and pro forma adjustments has been prepared based on preliminary estimates of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting are likely to occur and these differences could be material as compared to the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the combined companies' future results of operations and financial position. The actual amounts recorded as of the completion of the Merger may also differ materially from the information presented in this unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information as a result of, among other factors, the amount of cash used in Yatra's operations between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger; the timing of closing of the Merger; changes in the number of outstanding Yatra Ordinary Shares and Yatra warrants; and other changes in the Yatra assets and liabilities that occur prior to the completion of the Merger.
The Merger will be accounted for as an acquisition of Yatra by Ebix under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of the acquired company are, as of the completion of the Merger, recorded at their respective fair values, including an amount for goodwill representing the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the acquired identifiable tangible and intangible net assets.

The Ebix financial statements have been historically prepared under U.S. GAAP, however the Yatra financial statements have been historically prepared in accordance with international financial reporting standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). As a result, the Yatra financial statements have been adjusted so as to be presented under U.S. GAAP for the purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The historical financial information of Yatra was prepared in accordance with IFRS and presented in Indian rupees ("INR"). The historical financial information was translated from INR to U.S. dollars ("USD") using the following historical exchange rates:

- The Merger will be accounted for as an acquisition of Yatra by Ebix under the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of the acquired company are, as of the completion of the merger, recorded at their respective fair values and added to those of the reporting public issuer, including an amount for goodwill representing the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible net assets.
- (2)
- Fair value of the redeemable Ebix Series Y Preferred Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger. Ebix will be issuing 243,808 shares of Series Y Preferred Stock, which in turn will be convertible into 4,876,154 shares of Ebix Common Stock.
- (3)
- Shares of Series Y Preferred Stock issued in connection with the Merger shall be redeemed by Ebix at the option of an individual holder of shares of Series Y Preferred Stock at a price equal to (i) the Series Y Original Issue Price per share, plus (ii) all declared but unpaid dividends thereon, multiplied by (iii) 0.90 (the "Redemption Price"). Holders of the Series Y Preferred Stock may exercise this right during the period beginning on the date that is 25 months from the date the Series Y Preferred Stock is first issued and ending on the date that is 26 months from the date that Series Y Preferred is first issued. A portion of the total purchase consideration was allocated to this put liability based on its initial fair value, which was determined to be $4.14 million. This is preliminary and subject to change as a result of an independent valuation and could affect the total amount of purchase consideration. Potentially, decreases in the fair value of the preferred shares at the date of acquisition could reduce Ebix's income available to common shareholders.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, and pursuant to Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 is presented as if the Merger had been completed on December 31, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and

for the year ended December 31, 2018 gives effect to the Merger as if it took place as of January 1, 2018 and were prepared using the historical results of Ebix and Yatra for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, respectively.
Accounting Policies
During the preparation of the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, Yatra's financial statements have been converted to U.S. GAAP for purposes of these pro forma financial statements so as to align to Ebix basis of accounting and financial reporting.
2. Accounting for the Transaction
The management of Ebix has concluded that the Merger represents a business combination pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805,Business Combinations, or ASC 805. For accounting purposes, Ebix has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the Merger. The Merger will be accounted using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under the guidance of ASC 805. Accordingly, Ebix will record the identified acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities at their fair value as of the Merger closing date.
Management has estimated the preliminary purchase price because it has not yet completed an external valuation analysis of the fair market value of Yatra's assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. As a result, management has estimated the allocation of the preliminary purchase price for Yatra's assets and liabilities. This preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare the pro forma adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheets and income statements. The final purchase price allocation, fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities and any other studies and calculations deemed necessary have not yet been completed. The final purchase consideration and purchase price allocation could differ materially from the preliminary purchase price and purchase price allocation used to prepare the pro forma financial statement and related adjustments. Also effecting the determination of the final purchase price and its allocation are the results of changes to assets and liabilities and to the ultimate purchase consideration, caused by operations during the intervening period to the closing of the Merger.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Companies Law of the Cayman Islands does not limit the extent to which a company's memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors. However, such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be unenforceable, to the extent it seeks to indemnify or exculpate fiduciaries in respect of their actual fraud or willful default, or for the consequences of committing a crime. The registrant's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides for indemnification of officers and directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud or willful default.
Such limitation of liability and indemnification does not affect the availability of equitable remedies. In addition, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
