Director dealings: Thinksmart director ups stake

Thinksmart revealed on Thursday that non-executive director Peter Gammell had acquired 500,000 ordinary shares in the AIM-listed digital payments company.

Gammell, who joined the group back in May 2016, purchased the shares on Wednesday at an average price of 18p each, for a total value of £90,000.

Back in March, Thinksmart posted a 121% improvement in profit after tax for the six months ended 31 December, reporting that its holding in ClearPay was driving ongoing value accretion and capital returns.

Thinksmart said the boost in profit was driven by a £16.4m non-cash fair value gain on the independent valuation of its retained shareholding in ClearPay Finance.

As of 1630 BST, Thinksmart shares were up 5.41% at 19.50p.
