HYDERABAD - Hatsun Agro Products Ltd. on Monday said that the draft unaudited financial data for the Oct–Dec was inadvertently leaked by one of its key managerial personnel on Sunday, prompting the company to initiate an internal probe.
In an exchange filing, the company said the key official, while sharing the first-cut draft of the unaudited financial statements internally with the accounts department, accidentally uploaded the draft figures to his personal WhatsApp status around 1700 IST on Sunday. The draft data, which may constitute unpublished price-sensitive information, was viewed by around 19 people from his contact list, including some insiders of the company.
Hatsun Agro said the WhatsApp status was deleted within a hour after the incident came to the company's notice. It added that the figures were in a preliminary draft stage and remain subject to changes as part of the ongoing limited review process.
As a precautionary measure and in line with its corporate governance practices, the company said it has reported the incident to the stock exchanges. The matter will also be placed before the audit committee and the board of directors shortly. The company said it is initiating an internal enquiry. Once the enquiry is completed, the report will be submitted to the exchanges.
On Monday, Hatsun Agro shares ended at INR 963.35 on the National Stock Exchange, down nearly 1.3% from its previous close. End
