Now Mr Riley has sold 200,000 shares!

RNS timed at 16.30...not updated on IPR BB

[optomistic] 09/3/2012 16:01

LOL, Hope he does! but it reduces the chance of TO news this weekend I would think.

[jacks13] 09/3/2012 15:48

Does Mr Riley know? ;-)

[optomistic] 09/3/2012 15:41

Directors wife Mrs Riley disposed of 200K shares. This can become a regular event!
Are they to buy a new house?

[jacks13] 09/3/2012 12:45

The share price rose strongly last Friday too. It may be a case of people stocking up ahead of the weekend, fearing an announcement when the markets are closed.

[optomistic] 09/3/2012 12:16

It looks like another rumour is starting doing the rounds....one day it will be for real :-)

[eaaxs06] 09/3/2012 11:26

Certainly a night bounce back today, recovering all of the drop from the last three days.

[megabear] 09/3/2012 10:37

The bid rumours cropped up about 2 weeks ago. It's up 8% since then. Wouldn't exactly call that disappointing.

[elmfield] 09/3/2012 10:34

[optomistic] 09/3/2012 10:21

chartwise it looks really good but held back today by a bearish market.

[jeffian] 02/3/2012 10:16

That rather depends on his personal circumstances. If he knew he needed to make the sale (tax planning >5/4? House purchase?), he wouldn't want to be caught unable to deal.

I expect he's got a shedload more options anyway!

[optomistic] 02/3/2012 10:04

If the CFO knew of possible action he would have been somewhat foolhardy to have sold his and his wife's holdings when he did.
Yet this could be pure market speculation about an event which will happen but maybe not right away.

[jeffian] 02/3/2012 09:59

The other side of the coin is that I don't know whether the FD would be allowed to deal during a takeover period (it would certainly raise some questions!) so maybe he was clearing the decks in advance of the action.

[optomistic] 02/3/2012 09:57

Could be more like 450p jacks.

[jacks13] 02/3/2012 09:51

Maybe it's true that a deal has been agreed ..........at £3.50/sh. ;-(

[optomistic] 02/3/2012 09:17

Oh Fiona..that's over £50K now....I do hope Mark didn't advise you :-/

[jacks13] 02/3/2012 09:14

Mark Williamson's share sale and the recent share price rise do seem at odds.

If it's true that '...a deal which suits both parties is believed to have finally been done.. ' you would think he would have been aware of that. If he's passed up on a potential extra £1+ a share Mrs Williamson will indeed not be best pleased!
