2020 SS&C Intralinks M&A Leaks Report

In the new report — produced in association with Acuris Studios and The M&A Research Centre at The Business School (formerly Cass), City, University of London — you’ll discover: 

• Where, by country and region, leaks have flourished in the pre-COVID era
• One of the most notable deal leak statistics in a decade
• Crucial data on the effect of leaks on transactions

Plus, the new report provides surprising data on the premium that leaks command — and the impact of leaks on rival bids.

Compiled from a sample of more than 8,000 deals over the past decade, the SS&C Intralinks Annual Leaks Report 2020 is based on examining qualified deals that, within about 40 days prior to deal announcement, had returns that were statistically significant from expectation.
