Tesco chief executive Sir Terry Leahy has made a £2.24m gain on the sale of options he exercised on 27 November. The Tesco boss acquired 228,901 shares at an option price of 173p a share - a total cost of £396,000 - and he sold 148,808 of these shares. He also sold 439,693 of the 1,378,632 shares he received at nil cost. As well as the £2.24m gain on disposals, Leahy retains just over 1m shares - worth around £4.3m at the current share price of 423p. That takes his holding to 6.7m shares. His whole stake is worth more than £28m. Back in May, Sir Terry raised £635,000 from selling shares he received through the executive incentive plan. Tesco plans to expand its financial services operations. It already has an 8% share of the credit card market and 4% of the car insurance market. Tesco has stated that it is more interested in acquiring a banking platform rather than individual branches that larger banks are forced to sell off.
