Director dealings: NewRiver CFO's wife invests, Ramsdens CEO sells incentive shares

NewRiver REIT disclosed a share purchase made by its chief financial officer’s wife on Thursday, totalling almost £20,000.

The retail and leisure real estate investment trust said Hollie Hobman - wife of CFO Will Hobman- bought 22,208 shares on the London Stock Exchange.

Hobman paid 89.54p for each share, spending a total of £19,885.04.

Following the transaction, NewRiver said Will Hobman had a beneficial interest in 111,035 of its ordinary shares.

On the selling side of the ledger, Ramsdens Holdings announced that its chief executive officer had exercised a number of share options, and subsequently sold them.

The pawnbroker and high-street lender said Peter Kenyon exercised options over 250,000 ordinary shares, originally granted in 2017 under its long-term incentive plan, covering the performance of the company for the three years to March 2020.

It said the options became exercisable in December 2020.

Following the exercise, Kenyon sold 250,000 shares for 174.08p each, netting him a total of £435,200.01.

Following the sale, Ramsdens said Kenyon held 1,152,507 of its shares, equivalent to 3.64% of the firm’s enlarged voting share capital.
