Advertising veteran Sir Martin Sorrell bumped up his stake in S4 Capital on Monday, adding 10,000 shares to his holding.

The London-listed firm confirmed that Sorrell had bought the shares for 531.59p each, valuing the purchase at £53,158.51.

It said its executive chairman now held 54,219,594 shares in S4, and had previously donated 3.91 million shares to the UBS Donor Advised Foundation.

Together, those shares represented 10.5% of the company’s issued share capital.

Sunrise Resources, meanwhile, announced that its directors had received shares in the company to settle part of their outstanding fees, so it could preserve cash for its project activities.

Those amounts were based on the mid-market closing price of Sunrise shares on the last applicable trading day, being 0.19p.

As a result of the settlements, Sunrise Resources said Cheetham was now interested in 6.38% of its share capital, including a number of shares held by his wife, while Murphy held 1.59% and Cole 0.06%.
