Director dealings: Land Securities CEO ups stake

Land Securities revealed on Friday that chief executive officer Mark Allan had acquired 45,695 ordinary shares in the FTSE 100-listed real estate investment trust.

Allan, who took over as CEO in April, purchased the shares on Thursday at an average price of 682.29p each, for a total value of £311,772.41.

Earlier in November, Land Securities reported a widening of its first-half losses as the value of its property assets fell by 7.7% due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, but the shopping centre owner reinstated its dividend.

As of 1635 GMT, Land Securities shares were down 0.59% at 679.50p.
