Director dealings: Spouse of BAE chairman makes share purchase

BAE Systems revealed on Monday that chairman Roger Carr's wife Stephanie had acquired 40,546 ordinary shares in the FTSE 100-listed arms maker.

Stephanie Carr, the spouse of the man who was named BAE's chairman back in October 2013, bought the shares on Friday at an average price of 493.26p each, for a total value of £199,997.20.

Last Thursday, BAE said full-year profits would be slightly lower due to the coronavirus pandemic, but expected a good second half as it reinstated dividend payments.

The company said annual earnings per share would be a mid-single-digit percentage lower than last year's result of 45.8 pence and also reinstated a 13.8p-a-share £460m payout deferred from April and declared an interim dividend of 9.4p a share.

As of 1630 BST, BAE shares were down 0.29% at 488.80p.
