Director dealings: Bonhill CEO makes share purchase

Bonhill Group revealed on Wednesday that chief executive Simon Stilwell had purchased 74,500 ordinary shares in the AIM-listed business-to-business media firm.

Stilwell, the former Liberum CEO, bought 67,000 ordinary shares at an average price of 40p each, for a total value of £26,8000 and then, in a separate transaction, snapped up a further 7,500 shares at 37.69p each for a total of £2,826.75.

Bonhill Group tumbled on Wednesday after it warned that its 2019 results "will not reach the levels previously anticipated".

Bonhill said full-year revenues would be flat due to "challenging" conditions in the UK and Hong Kong, while earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation for the year looked set to be me "materially" below expectations at £2.5m following "significant" investments.

As of 1640 GMT, Bonhill shares were down 25.78% at 39.15p.
