RE: largest Shareholder Increases stake to over 20%16 Feb 2021 17:26
If you look back further you can see his buys at a far higher price so I think his average, at least in terms of the Lookers plc transaction is a lot higher than 55p.
My speculative thoughts are he can get his money back and more by taking it out with some banks and then break it up. He is probably thinking if he doesn't do it then someone else will.
