Director dealings: Volex chairman ups stake via NR interest

(Sharecast News) - Volex revealed on Tuesday that NR Holdings had acquired 60,000 ordinary shares in the AIM-listed electronic connectors manufacturer.
NR Holdings, which chairman Nathaniel Rothschild is a beneficiary, purchased the shares on Monday at an average price of 418.40p each, for a total value of £251,041.37.

Last week, Volex signed a share purchase agreement for the acquisition of Prodamex and Terminal & Cable for a total consideration of CAD 22.5m (£13.17m).

Volex said the consideration would be paid in cash from its existing debt facilities at completion, which was expected in the third quarter of the 2022 financial year subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals in Canada.

As of 1625 BST, Volex shares were up 4.43% at 436.0p.
