Director dealings: Stroll ups stake in Aston Martin, Deliveroo CFO covers tax bill with sale

Aston Martin Lagonda executive chairman Lawrence Stroll spent almost £5m this week buying more shares in the luxury car maker, it reported in filings on Friday.

On Wednesday, Stroll bought 318,500 shares at £12 each for £3.82m, and followed that up on Thursday with a further 81,500 shares at £12.20 apiece, for just over £1m.

He now held around 21.6% of the company.

In March 2020 Stroll, who made his name investing in luxury fashion brands such as Tommy Hilfiger and Michael Kors, rescued the brand known for cars driven by the James Bond character, in a £500m deal.

On the selling side of the ledger, Deliveroo chief financial officer Adam Miller sold 39,243 shares for £2.14 each, for a total transaction value of £85,157.31.

The takeaway delivery giant said Miller sold the shares to satisfy the tax liability and dealing costs of his vesting of 83,200 shares, issued under its restricted stock unit contracts.

It said Miller would not retain any net proceeds as a result of the sale.
