Admiral Group Chairman trades in 100,000 shares

Thu, 07th Mar 2013 15:42

Alastair Lyons, the long-standing Chairman of Admiral Group, the non-life insurance giant, reduced his stake by 100,000 shares in the wake of a strong set of full year results. In a sale made on behalf of his wife, Lyons disposed of the shares at 1,314p each, shrinking his holding to 392,152 shares. The announcement was made Thursday, one day after the company cheered investors with news of a 20% increase in the total dividend, prompted by a 15% year-on-year increase in pre-tax profit, from £299m to £343m. Turnover climbed 1.0% from £2.19bn to £2.22bn, while earnings per share totalled 95.1p, up from 81.9p in 2011. The group made progress in most of its divisions, but posted a loss for its international price comparison businesses, albeit reduced from the previous year. The group's UK price comparison business, Confused.com, delivered a pre-tax profit of £18.2m - around £2.0m higher than 2011's result, on 7.0% higher revenue. Paul Walsh, who has been the Chief Executive Officer of Diageo since 2000, has continued to sells off his stake in the FTSE 100 drinks giant. The director this time disposed of 50,000 at 2,011.00p a time, generating a total of £1.0m. Walsh has made a number of signifcant sales in the past months, and prior to this transaction most recently traded in 75,000 shares at 1,935.00p a time.
