Director dealings: Imperial Brands director makes share purchase

Imperial Brands revealed on Wednesday that non-executive director Bob Kunze-Concewitz had acquired 15,000 ordinary shares in the FTSE 100-listed cigarette manufacturer.

Kunze-Concewitz, who joined Imperial's board at the start of November, purchased the shares at an average price of 1,517.49p each, for a total value of £227,623.34.

On Tuesday, Imperial Brands reported a rise in annual sales, driven by a demand for tobacco which offset a drop in its e-cigarette business, and forecast profit growth in 2021.

The maker of Gauloises and JPS said full-year adjusted group revenue rose 0.8% to £8bn. On a reported basis, revenue rose 3.1% to £32.56bn.

As of 1640 GMT, Imperial shares were up 2.66% at 1,545.50p.
