Director deals: Sirius Real Estate boss collects over £100,000 from share sale

Andrew Coombs, chief executive officer of commercial property development group Sirius Real Estate, disposed of 166,000 ordinary shares in the company on Wednesday.

Coombs let go of the shares at 65.52p each for a total of £108,764.36.

Sirius, which finalised its €9.2m acquisition of Krefeld Business Park near Dusseldorf earlier in January, posted a 23% increase in total income to €68.8m for its trading year ended 31 March 2017.

Adjusted earnings per share jumped 34% to €0.425 per share.

At the time, Coombs said, "This has been a good trading period as shown by the record results we have delivered. It has also been a good period for the business culminating in the recent move up to the Main Market of the LSE and to the Main Board of the JSE."

"These moves reflect our ambition to increase our portfolio by another 50% whilst also taking advantage of market conditions to recycle mature and non-core assets with greater opportunity," he added.

As of 1540 GMT, shares had grown 0.61% to 66.00p.
