Director dealings: Bank of Cyprus director invests, Phoenix CEO covers tax bill

Bank of Cyprus disclosed a series of purchases made by a non-executive board member on Wednesday, worth almost £0.4m.

The company said director Constantine ‘Dinos’ Iordanou bought 500,000 shares across five transactions on Tuesday, at an average price of 75p.

That valued the purchases at a total of £375,000, with the transactions being made on the eve of the company releasing its annual financial report.

On the selling side of things, Phoenix Group reported a sale worth over £0.3m, made to cover its chief executive’s tax bill after the exercise of awards.

The FTSE 100 firm said Andy Briggs exercised nil-cost options over 99,981 shares, and subsequently sold 47,227 of them at 645.35p.

That netted the CEO £304,777.93 to cover his tax obligations and keep up his National Insurance record.
