Director dealings: Bramson keeps picking up Electra stock

Activist investor Edward Bramson, who won a place on the board of Electra Private Equity in November after a 21 month-long battle with the board, has continued to snaffle more shares in the group.

On Monday the company revealed that last week Bramson's Sherborne vehicle had bought 2,402 shares at an average price of 3,465p to take its stake to 11,377,774.

In recent months Sherborne has bought smallish chunks of a few hundred shares or few thousand shares.

In January Sherborne said it would work with the private equity investor's other directors to undertake a strategic review "to consider all options in order to maximise long-term value for all shareholders".

In February it announced that HSBC Bank and Morgan Stanley had been appointed as joint brokers.

Earlier in February, Electra announced the sale of its interest in fine art materials producer Daler-Rowney for proceeds of £32m, which equated to an uplift of £20m.
