LONDON (Alliance News) - The following is a summary of director dealings reported in London on Wednesday.
----------
Publisher and events manager Tarsus Group said Managing Director Douglas Emslie bought 3,167 shares at a price of 219 pence per share Tuesday. Following this transaction, Emslie holds 1.1 million shares, which represents 1.1% stake in the firm.
Tarsus Group last Wednesday said it remains confident of delivering a strong performance for its full year despite swinging to a pretax loss in its first half, as its revenues are heavily weighted towards its second half due to the timing of its larger exhibitions.
"The investment in our portfolio has resulted in sector leading organic revenue and visitor growth. The execution of our strategy gathered pace recently with acquisitions of PAINWeek and AMB and the agreement to dispose of our French business," Emslie had said.
Tarsus shares ended flat at 211.50p Wednesday.
