Hi ItsAll This might help,
"Directors, like any other shareholders must comply with Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) 1.3.2 on inside information. This regulatory mandates that Persons Discharging Management Responsibility (PDMRs) i.e. the company statutory directors in this context cannot deal when they are in possession of price sensitive information, i.e. information that when released to the public is likely to have a material impact on the share price of the stock in question. A period of time when Directors are prohibited from dealing is referred to as a ‘closed period’.
On top of this ‘catch all’ the EU Market Abuse Regulation (MAR), Section 19 goes a step further to explicitly state that PDMRs cannot deal in the period of 30 calendar days before the announcement of interim financial results or a year end results. This is referred to as the MAR closed period. Taking the AIM market for example, companies need to publish a half year financial report within 3 months of the half year period ending and the final results within 6 months of the end of the full year."
and so it would seem that the periods during which the directors can deal are severely limited.
These limits are currently being used by many of his "fans" to excuse Steve Sanderson's total lack of "skin in the game over at UKOG" Should have raised a few red flags for me, but greed overcame this warning. For me, UKOG has to double from where it is today just to get out. James Anderson over at Scottish Mortgage has over £30,000,000 in his fund.
Hope that is of interest to you. Cannot wait for the RNS to land here, where I have 10K riding. GLAH
