Director dealings: K3 CEO ups stake

K3 Business Technology revealed on Tuesday that chief executive Adalsteinn Valdimarsson had purchased 30,000 ordinary shares in the AIM-listed business solutions firm.

Valdimarsson, who took over as CEO of K3 back in October 2016, acquired the shares last Thursday at an average price of 137p each, for a total value of £41,100.

K3 Business Technology cautioned back in October 2019 that its full-year results would fall below market expectations after issues with a major contract and on the back of slower purchases by existing customers.

The group said the contract had been in the final stages of the agreement before being put on hold by the counterparty.

As of 1650 GMT, K3 shares were untraded at 138p each.
