Senior directors at Entain have given a vote of confidence in the Ladbrokes owner after acquiring around £2.4 million [$2.9 million] of its stock.
Chairman Barry Gibson has more than quadrupled his holding in the company after buying about 93,700 shares valued at almost £870,000, while his wife, Brenda, has purchased £140,550 worth of shares.
Jette Nygaard-Andersen, Entain’s chief executive, has doubled her stake in the firm following an acquisition of 35,000 shares worth approximately £324,000.
But the biggest purchase was made by non-executive director and Vue International chair Stella David, who bought around £900,000 of stock. Overall, 665,682 shares representing 0.1 per cent of Entain’s issued share capital were acquired by four board members and Ms Gibson on 7 November.
