UBS sues Nasdaq and Facebook over $357 million IPO loss The article doesn't mention anything about UBS suing Facebook, only Nasdaq. Can you update the title to take this into account? Edit: title now updated, thanks! :)

right, specifically "to address its gross mishandling of the offering and its substantial failures to perform its duties".

does anyone know what they could possibly have in mind?

UBS said it lost 349 million Swiss francs ($357 million) following Facebook's initial public offering, another blow in a quarter where earnings were already pressured by its struggling investment bank.

They are claiming losses resulting directly from NASDAQ's mishandling of the IPO.
