Abstract

In the days leading up to a merger and acquisition (M&A) bid announcement, significant trading in the shares of the target company can indicate that information about the deal has leaked. While not providing absolute confirmation of a leak in an individual deal, significant pre-announcement trading across a large sample of deals can be used to examine patterns and trends in leaking across time periods and geographies.
The annual SS&C Intralinks M&A Leaks Report analyzes and reports on deal leaks globally. This report looks at deal leaks for the period from 2009-2018, while placing emphasis on the 2018 findings compared to previous years. The analysis of data for this report was conducted together with the M&A Research Centre at Cass Business School, City, University of London.
