Director dealings: SSP CFO invests, Tintra CEO linked to gift and off-market sale

Key figures at SSP Group and Tintra were involved with notable share transactions disclosed to the market on Friday.

At SSP Group, deputy chief executive and chief financial officer Jonathan Davies bought 36,879 shares on the London Stock Exchange.

The purchase, which took place on 28 September, was at a price of 201.9462p per share, amounting to a total value of £74,475.74.

Elsewhere, Tintra reported two transactions involving The Tintra Trust (TTT), a PCA, or ‘persons closely associated’, of the company's CEO Richard Shearer.

The trust's dealings significantly impacted its stake in the firm, with it now possessing 4,353,611 shares or 24.55% of its total issued shares.

In the first transaction on 28 February, TTT gifted 200,000 shares to the Tintra Foundation.

That action was only disclosed to the company recently, despite taking place several months ago.

The second, more recent transaction saw TTT sell 500,000 shares in an off-market sale.

That occurred on 27 September, with the shares priced at 150p each, bringing the total value of the sale to £750,000.

At 1331 BST, shares in SSP Group were up 0.79% at 205.2p, while those in Tintra were untraded at 67.5p.
