IN BRIEF: Hipgnosis Songs Fund new chair, other directors buy shares

Mon, 20th Nov 2023 10:54

Hipgnosis Songs Fund Ltd - London-based investor in music royalty rights - Directors, including Chair Rob Naylor, buy 327,000 shares on Thursday last week. The purchases are made at prices ranging from 73.29 pence to 73.56p and are worth about GBP240,224 in total. Naylor joined as chair at the start of November. He is chief executive of Intuitive Investments PLC and had been a director of Hipgnosis peer Round Hill Music Royalty Fund Ltd. Naylor's arrival followed a profit warning by Hipgnosis and a decision to skip dividend payments. This in turn followed Hipgnosis shareholders rejecting a deal to sell music catalogues to a company controlled by its investment manager.

Current stock price: 73.58 pence, down 2.5% in London on Monday

12-month change: down 11%
