Wilson in halt after claims against Coppin STOCKBROKER Wilson HTM is set to reveal the outcome of "discussions" with management more than two months after allegations of inappropriate behaviour were made by former female staff members against managing director Andrew Coppin. Wilson, which is 20 per cent-owned by Deutsche Bank, yesterday entered a trading halt while the board completed the talks with management. The company's shares will be halted until it makes an announcement, expected before the market opens tomorrow. Wilson in April told the market two former staff members had alleged Mr Coppin had engaged in "inappropriate behaviour," prompting the company to launch an investigation that it said was expected to take "a number" of weeks to conclude. "If necessary, appropriate action will be taken," the April statement said. Mr Coppin, who has been co-operating with the investigation, has denied the allegations and said he has acted appropriately at all times. Wilson and Deutsche declined to comment yesterday. Industry sources speculated that the trading halt related to the investigation and said it indicated the board could announce management changes. Under the ASX's listing rules, companies use halts to manage disclosure obligations when they can not immediately announce material information. Mr Coppin, who joined Wilson after folding his boutique investment business into the group, took over as managing director in October 2011, replacing Steven Wilson, a major shareholder whose grandfather was a founder of the Brisbane-based broker.
