Director dealings: RBS director picks up shares
One of RBS's senior independent directors, Mark Seligman, picked up some shares, close on the heels of purchases by several of his colleagues, including RBS chairman, Howard Davies, and non-executive director Dr. Lena Wilson.
Seligman bought 10,000 shares in the still majority state-owned lender the day before at a price of 214.0p via M Seligman &Co., a vehicle in which his spouse had a beneficial interest.
A week earlier, RBS had posted an operating loss before tax of £8.0m for the three months ending in September.
That was in comparison to a £961.0m profit for the same period a year ago.
In September the lender had told shareholders to expect a provision for PPI claims of between £600.0m and £900.0m, which in the event turned out to be £900.0m.
Commenting on RBS's third quarter results four days afterwards, analysts at Berenberg said that they served as a reminder that the lender's transformation remained incomplete, but so too the prospects for the lender's capital distribution plans were still undervalued.
