Director dealings: Real Estate Investors, Landsec execs make trades

(Sharecast News) - Among the director dealings disclosed to the market on Wednesday were two transactions involving senior executives from Real Estate Investors and Land Securities, respectively.

Marcus Daly, the finance director of the AIM-traded Real Estate Investors, increased his stake in the company by purchasing 250,000 shares at a price of 36.9p each.

The transaction, executed on Wednesday, boosted Daly's total beneficial interest in the company to 4,321,509 shares, representing 2.48% of its issued share capital.

On the selling side of the ledger was Mark Allan, chief executive officer of Landsec, after he undertook a series of share transactions on 25 June.

Allan acquired 322,981 shares through the exercise of options granted under a long-term incentive plan and the firm's 2015 deferred share bonus plan, at no cost.

Subsequently, to cover the tax liabilities resulting from those exercises, Allan sold 152,106 shares for 624.25p apiece, generating a total value of £949,521.71.

At the close on Wednesday, shares in Real Estate Investors were flat at 36p, while those in Land Securities Group were down 1.68% at 615p.
