In total Bostock pocketed £875,934 from the transaction. The director is leaving M&S "by mutual consent to pursue other interests" following a disappointing set of second-quarter results which saw a 2.8% decline in like-for-like UK sales.M&S's share price was given a boost earlier this month after it was reported that financiers were considering making a £6bn bid for the group.
