Last checked at (Sharecast News) - Everyman Media revealed on Monday that chairman Paul Wise had disposed of 499,977 ordinary shares in the AIM-listed premium cinema operator.
Wise, who exercised options over the shares on 11 October, disposed of them on that same Friday at an average price of 175p each, for a total value of £874,959.75.
Following the sale, Wise and closely associated people were left with an interest in 2.75m ordinary shares of the company, representing 3.76% of Everyman's enlarged issued share capital.
Back in September, Everyman Media reported a rise in interim revenue but a drop in pre-tax profit as it expanded its estate.
In the 26 weeks to 4 July, revenue increased 16% to £28.9m and adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation were 61% higher at £6.6m as admissions pushed up 9.4% to 1.5m.
However, pre-tax profit fell to £445,000 from £1.4m the year before on the back of rising interest costs related to the company's expansion.
As of 1640 BST, Everyman shares had dipped 0.07% to 868.65p.
