Director dealings: Londonmetric Property chairman lowers stake
Updated : 16:39
Londonmetric Property revealed on Wednesday that chairman Patrick Vaughan had disposed of 400,000 ordinary shares in the FTSE 250-listed property investor.
Vaughan, who took over as chairman following London & Stamford's merger with Metric in January 2013, sold the shares on Tuesday at an average price of 271.0p each, for a total value of £1.08m.
Last week, LondonMetric said it would raise £175.0m to fund acquisitions and developments as the property company reported strong first-half results.
LMP said it would place shares worth about £175m with investors, including a retail offer. The shares will represent 7.4% of issued share capital. It will use the money to fund existing deals with a total value of £282.0m for mainly logistics assets amid a shift in retail sales to online.
As of 1640 GMT, LMP shares were up 0.63% at 274.0p.
