Morgan Stanley Accidentally Leaks 100-Plus Deal Pipeline List
Morgan Stanley is a large bank that helps companies raise money and complete deals.
An employee accidentally emailed clients the wrong file.
The file listed more than 100 possible deals.
Some of the deals involved India IPOs, or first-time stock sales.
Parts of the file contained information that was not meant to be public.
The employee tried to recall the email after realizing the mistake.
The list mostly covered Asia but also included other regions.
Morgan Stanley said it quickly took steps to deal with the disclosure.
An internal Morgan Stanley file listing more than 100 deals was accidentally sent to clients.
The file reportedly included price-sensitive information and details about India IPOs.
Mohamed Atmani, the bank’s Asia-Pacific financial-sponsors chief, sent the file and later tried to recall it.
The document primarily covered Asia but also included deals in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Morgan Stanley said it acted promptly to address the inadvertent disclosure and was engaging with relevant parties.
