Non-executive Robert Lantos has sold his entire holding of ordinary shares in Entertainment One, which owns distribution rights to the Twilight vampire films. The Entertainment One share price has almost quintupled in the past year. Lantos gained his stake and board position after he sold his Canadian film distribution businesses to Entertainment One in the summer of 2008. Lantos has sold nearly 1.3m shares at 64.25p each, thereby raising £825,000. He retains just over 3m Class S shares which can be swapped for ordinary shares. Entertainment recently raised £10.3m at 53p a share in order to repurchase exchangeable notes for £9m. The notes had a face value of £14.5m. This will boos earnings by £7m in the year to March 2010.
